Following Lin Feng's awakening, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Their tense hearts and bodies finally relaxed.
Many of them directly collapsed to the ground, completely drained of their strength.
"I'm sorry."
Looking at the messy hall and his injured teammates, Lin Feng apologised.
Just now, his consciousness was forcefully taken over by the Nightmare Lord. He lost control of his body and fell into a deep sleep.
He couldn't see what happened, but he could guess.
With the Nightmare Lord's strength, if it wanted to escape, no one could stop it.
Since it didn't escape, it obviously wanted to use his identity to kill everyone.
Lin Feng swept his gaze around. Everyone was only injured, but no one died.
"You can't be blamed. We're also responsible. Furthermore, you look more miserable than me."
Looking at the pale face of Lin Feng, who looked like a bag of bones, Ye Xing smiled.
Lin Feng being taken over by the Nightmare Lord has a lot to do with helping them absorb soul skills.
As the beneficiary, they couldn't blame Lin Feng.
Soul skills are extremely important to Demon Spiritualists.
For a good soul skill, Demon Spiritualists are willing to risk their lives.
They didn't pay much, but received a lot. There's nothing to complain about.
Their only complaint is that Lin Feng only told He Jun about this matter and not them.
If they were prepared, they wouldn't be so passive.
Of course, Lin Feng definitely didn't expect this.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Lin Feng lightly patted Ye Xing's chest and didn't say anything.
He expected this day to come.
Half a year ago, he left a back-up plan in He Jun's body.
It's just that he didn't expect this day to come so soon.
As for whether or not anyone would blame him, Lin Feng didn't really care.
If anyone has an opinion, they can just leave the Avengers Alliance.
He wouldn't ask them to stay.
Since they've enjoyed the benefits, they naturally have to bear the risks.
Whether it's him or others, it's the same.
Even if there's a fatal threat, Lin Feng never regretted refining the Nightmare Lord.
Whether it was two years ago or now, he didn't regret it.
If he was given another chance, he would still refine the Nightmare Lord!
This was because he had seen scenes of a city being massacred. He had seen all kinds of broken limbs, and he had experienced the sticky touch of blood that had reached his knees.
He knew what would happen in the future, and there was no time for him to grow step by step.
If he didn't refine the Nightmare Lord, what could he change?
What was the point of living for a few more years?
"How is He Jun?"
Linfeng came to He Jun's side. At this time, He Jun was wearing a green mushroom on her head. The green mushroom was emitting light, making her face look a little strange.
At this time, He Jun's skin was still covered with blood-red curse seals, which had not dissipated. Her brows were tightly knitted, and her face twitched slightly from time to time. Although she was unconscious, she still seemed to be in pain.
"Her external injuries are fine, but her internal injuries are very serious. Fortunately, they are not fatal. Her spiritual power and soul power were severely overdrawn, so she fainted."
Chen Tianming said while treating He Jun.
Hearing that He Jun was fine, Linfeng also felt relieved.
A plan was a plan, and he couldn't guarantee that it would succeed.
After all, the sacrifice this time was a demigod!
"What happened to Ah Bing?"
Looking at Ah Bing, who was lying behind He Jun, covered in blood and flesh, Linfeng asked.
Compared to He Jun, Ah Bing's injuries were more serious. There wasn't a single piece of good flesh on his body. His skin was cracked like a spider web, looking extremely horrifying.
"Ah Bing used his ability to divert a portion of the damage for He Jun!
If it wasn't for Ah Bing, He Jun wouldn't have been able to withstand it! "
Dong Yunan explained.
Linfeng was silent for a moment. He looked at Ah Bing with a strange expression.
Linfeng didn't hate Ah Bing's identity as a Variant Human. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Ah Bing join the Avengers.
However, he couldn't deny that he had some misgivings.
This was also the reason why he tested Ah Bing for a period of time before signing the contract.
He didn't know if Ah Bing could be trusted. After all, Ah Bing had the bloodline of a Variant Human.
Linfeng also hesitated for a moment when he found the blood-red scarecrow for Ah Bing, because he didn't know if it was worth it.
After all, that was an Earth Ranking demon spirit, worth tens of billions.
It was Linfeng's decision to replace the blood-red scarecrow for Ah Bing. The other members more or less had their own opinions on this decision.
After all, Ah Bing had just joined the Avengers. His strength was still weak, and he hadn't shown any value.
In the past half a year, he had been a complete burden to her.
At this moment, Ah Bing had proven his value to everyone.
He had also used facts and his life to tell Linfeng that he was trustworthy, and there was no need to doubt him.
"That was close, I almost died!"
Yu Qiao walked up and said. He still had some lingering fear.
He looked at the miserable Ah Bing, and there was some recognition in his eyes.
"What exactly was that Nightmare Demon?
Why did it have its own consciousness? "
Ye Xing came before Linfeng and asked.
He had already exited his Demon Transformation state, and his arms were powerless. In the previous battle, his arms were shattered by the Nightmare Demon's Starlight Hammer.
Bone fractures weren't something that could be easily healed with healing techniques.
This injury required surgery, and it would take at least ten days to half a month to recover.
"A demon spirit that had never been discovered before. From the day it was refined, it had its own consciousness!"
Linfeng explained.
However, he didn't tell everyone the true identity of the Nightmare Demon.
If the true identity of a Demigod was known, there wouldn't be any benefits.
"You were able to help us absorb soul skills because of this demon spirit's innate ability?"
Ye Xing continued to ask.
Previously, when Linfeng said that it was his bloodline ability, it was obviously a lie.
"Yes." Linfeng nodded his head.
There wasn't anything to hide, nor was there a need to hide.
"This demon spirit is the same as the Soul Devouring Beast, able to forcefully seize the innate ability of another demon spirit?"
Ye Xing looked at Linfeng's eyes.
Although he had already confirmed it in his heart, he still wanted to hear Linfeng's confirmation.
In his view, this ability was as unbelievable as a demon spirit possessing intelligence.
It was even more exaggerated.
The Nightmare Demon's innate ability was like a cheat for a Demon Spiritualist.
Thinking of this, Ye Xing could understand why Linfeng would still refine and not give up on this demon spirit, even with such a fatal side effect.
This kind of temptation was irresistible.
If there weren't any side effects, Linfeng would simply be an invincible existence in the future. Who could be his opponent?
Under everyone's curious gaze, Linfeng nodded his head in confirmation, which attracted a wave of exclamations.
Among them, there were quite a few whose faces changed. Among them were Ye Qiu and Ye Xing.
Because this also meant that Linfeng could also seize their innate ability.
The Bramble Demonic Dragon's [Hell Dragon Flame] and the Berserk Beast's [Blood Boiling Berserk]. One was a Divine rank soul skill, while the other was a Diamond rank soul skill. Both of these soul skills were top-notch soul skills. No Demon Spiritualist would reject them.
Although it was impossible for Linfeng to kill them and seize their innate ability, this kind of threat would still cause others to be afraid.
Furthermore, Linfeng couldn't do it, but the Nightmare Demon could!
Linfeng noticed the slight change in Ye Qiu's face and quickly guessed his thoughts. He said, "I've tested it before. This ability is only effective against foreign races."
When these words came out, Ye Qiu and Ye Xing's expressions relaxed.
They didn't doubt Linfeng's words. Linfeng also didn't need to lie to them.
Everyone still had a lot of doubts, so they asked one after another. Linfeng didn't hide anything and satisfied everyone's doubts.
"In the future, I won't rely on you to absorb soul skills. You scared me to death," Yang Ningbing said.
"Right, our soul skill combination is already luxurious enough. We can't be too greedy!" Yunkai said.
From the very beginning, he knew that there would be terrifying repercussions. Therefore, he didn't agree to borrow Linfeng's ability to absorb soul skills.
"Yun Tianqi and I have already absorbed our ninth soul skills. We don't need to continue absorbing anymore," Ye Xing said.
"Okay, you guys deal with it yourselves." Linfeng smiled.
Now that the Alliance has grown, almost all of them have absorbed their eighth soul skills. In the future, the Nightmare Demon's power should be used less.
This time, it could be considered as a wake-up call for him.
Although the plan this time was successful and the Nightmare Demon didn't succeed in seizing his body, as the Nightmare Demon grew stronger, the assimilation would deepen. There would still be danger in the future.
Fortunately, the Nightmare Demon's injuries weren't light, so it wouldn't recover its strength that quickly.
"Will the Nightmare Demon appear again?" Yu Qiao asked.
"It will!"
Linfeng's expression was solemn. He said without any hesitation, "As I grow stronger, it will also grow stronger, and the assimilation will deepen. When I'm weak, it will still take the opportunity to occupy my body. Also, this demon spirit is the same as He Jun's demon spirit. It can't give up on its own!"
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere became a little strange.
The Nightmare Demon could appear, but it couldn't give up on its own. This meant that danger could still descend.
Next time, they might suddenly face Linfeng's attack.
This fatal threat made everyone's mood very heavy.
"It's fine. There's still He Jun!" Dong Yunan said.
"After a few days, He Jun might not be able to withstand it."
Linfeng shook his head. "After the King Advancement Plan, I'll go to the Pure Land and find a solution there!"
The Pure Land!
Hearing this name, everyone's expression turned solemn.
It was the world's number one organization, an existence that even the world's major countries didn't dare to provoke.
Perhaps they could only find a solution there.
"Just now, I was the first to say that I wanted to kill you!"
While everyone was chatting, Yun Tianqi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Everyone's expression changed slightly as they looked at Yun Tianqi.
"I also support it. Your consciousness has already been occupied, and we didn't know you had a backup plan."
Ye Xing was the second to speak.
"Me too."
Yu Qiao was the third to speak.
Yue Mingming looked a little guilty, but he also stood out. "I also agree."
Yunkai and the others looked worried.
If Linfeng held a grudge against them and didn't handle it well, the alliance might very well disband.
"Is that so?"
Linfeng looked at the four of them and said with a smile, "So, what do you want to say?"
"You don't mind?"
Seeing that Linfeng was very calm, Yun Tianqi was somewhat puzzled.
"Mind what?
If you were the one who was possessed and had your consciousness occupied, I would also make the same choice. Moreover, I would definitely be more resolute than you. "
Linfeng patted Yun Tianqi's shoulder and said with a smile, "I've already treated myself as a sacrifice. Do you think I'll blame you?"
"It's good that you don't blame me."
A trace of a smile appeared on Yun Tianqi's solemn expression.
"I knew Linfeng wouldn't be so petty," Yue Mingming said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right!" Hong Yi echoed.
"Why did you get fatter again?"
Linfeng asked in surprise as he looked at Hong Yi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
It had only been a month, but he felt like he had gained five kilograms!
"It's your imagination."
Hong Yi was slightly angry and once again made up his mind to lose weight.
"Okay, let's go back after the treatment. After resting for a while, we'll begin the rescue mission!" Linfeng said.
Since he had taken the money, he naturally had to do the job.
He was also very curious about what kind of important figure was so valuable!
