Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1095: Emerging Talents

This middle-aged man, from the moment the Giant Scale Demon Python appeared and they began to flee, kept saying how bad the Phoenix Sect was here, how they were not rescuing the dying, and other such things.

He did not cause any substantial harm to the Phoenix Sect’s interests, so Shen Li showed leniency and wouldn’t kill him. However, Shen Li was extremely disgusted by this person, and not taking action within three breaths was already his limit.

”I... I...”

The middle-aged man widened his eyes, seeming to want to explain something, but under Shen Li’s gaze, he ultimately didn’t utter a single word.

Purple Demon King Shen Li, God Slayer Ling Xiao!

The Phoenix Twin Kings were quite famous, but everyone thought they had made some contribution to the Phoenix Sect to be bestowed such titles, never thinking that they themselves were actually in the Dragon Emperor Realm!

The scene of Shen Li’s earlier action, where the Giant Scale Demon Python was tossed aside, still echoed in the mind of the middle-aged man. He deeply regretted saying those words before, but in this world, there’s no such thing as regret medicine.

”The first breath.”

At this moment, Shen Li spoke, his expression somewhat cold.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man sighed inwardly and slightly cupped his fists towards Shen Li, then turned to leave into the distance.

Seeing him disappear, everyone else fell silent, with some secretly feeling fortunate; if Shen Li had appeared a bit later, they might have lost their composure and said similar things out of impatience like the middle-aged man.

”What is your name?” Shen Li looked at the young man who had been trying to mediate earlier.

Hearing this, the young man was taken aback for a moment, then quickly composed himself and said respectfully, ”Junior Fenng Wushuang, greets Senior.”

”Fenng Wushuang?”

Shen Li murmured to himself, then smiled and said, ”That’s quite a rare surname. You don’t need to participate in this second assessment. If you’re willing, I’ll accept you as my direct disciple; how about that?”

”I...”

Fenng Wushuang’s eyes widened immediately, unable to believe it, and others felt the same.

Fenng Wushuang’s cultivation base was merely at the Dragon Pill Realm, and his various talents were not particularly outstanding in the first assessment. Logically, he was quite likely to be eliminated. So why did Shen Li specifically take a liking to him?

”This assessment, though it tests temperament, talent, and strength, in reality, our Phoenix Sect values loyalty and trust the most.”

Shen Li confidently said, ”What if the talent is low? What if the strength is low? I am very satisfied with your behavior earlier. I believe that in the future, you will also be loyal to me and the Phoenix Sect, won’t you?”

”Of course!” Fenng Wushuang quickly responded.

”That’s good then.”

Shen Li nodded, casually gave Fenng Wushuang a personal disciple token, and then said, ”You all go to other places to obtain the cores of the demon beasts. As for the Giant Scale Demon Python, I will naturally take care of it.”

”Swish, swish, swish!”

The others quickly nodded and headed into the distance, while Fenng Wushuang rushed straight out.

After everyone left, Shen Li’s gaze fell upon the Giant Scale Demon Python.

”I know you can understand what I’m saying.”

After a brief silence, Shen Li continued, ”Believe me, you shouldn’t disrupt the Phoenix Sect’s assessment.”

”Buzz~”

As these words fell, Shen Li’s body shook, and a humming sound suddenly emanated. Moreover, when the humming sounded, an astonishing invisible light barrier expanded from his body, covering the sky, pressing down toward the Giant Scale Demon Python.

This was precisely the Imperial Domain!

The Giant Scale Demon Python perceived it clearly, and at the moment Shen Li unleashed the Imperial Domain, the dread in the python’s eyes grew exponentially. Finally, with a roar, it turned and rushed towards the depths of the Demon Beast Forest.

A Dragon Emperor Realm with the Imperial Domain was truly worlds apart from one without it.

Furthermore, Shen Li’s cultivation base had already reached the Dragon Emperor Realm Mid Stage. With his comprehensive strength, it wasn’t impossible for him to kill the Giant Scale Demon Python.

Of course, he wouldn’t kill it, as the other party was, after all, in the Dragon Emperor Realm and not an ordinary demon beast.

”Aow~”

As the Giant Scale Demon Python left, a massive roar slowly came through. The other three Dragon Emperor Realm demon beasts sensed it and hesitated slightly, then abandoned their pursuit and also retreated into the depths of the Demon Beast Forest. Their speed was so fast that even Ling Xiao, who had just arrived, didn’t have time to intervene.

This scene unfolded entirely on the illusory screen, causing many to show shock on their faces, including Yuani Ling, Moo Qinghai, and others!

”Dragon Emperor Realm...”

Yuani Ling gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, ”This Shen Li... is actually in the Dragon Emperor Realm!”

”How terrifying must their cultivation speed be? Could it be that they have no bottlenecks?!”

Moo Qinghai’s heart was also filled with hatred and envy, ”This guy only joined after the founding of the Phoenix Sect. Moreover, he was just an ordinary person at the time. How, in just over a decade, could he have transformed from an ordinary person into the Dragon Emperor Realm? How is that possible?!!”

Many others shared his thoughts. Even Yuwen Zhongcheng and Mancheng, after witnessing Shen Li’s strength, exchanged a glance filled with deep shock.

If Shen Li had always been in the Dragon Emperor Realm, it would be one thing, but before joining the Phoenix Sect, he was just an ordinary person, not even a cultivator of the Dragon Vein Realm!

Before Ling Xiao could intervene, those four Dragon Emperor Realm demon beasts all retreated, which could be said to be entirely due to Shen Li’s single act of intimidation. His strength was evidently far superior to those demon beasts!

”This is the Purple Demon King? Purple Demon King Shen Li!!!”

”Hahaha, I knew it; there must be someone in the Dragon Emperor Realm in the Phoenix Sect!”

”The outside world always rumored that the Phoenix Sect didn’t have anyone in the Dragon Emperor Realm, so its ranking as a First-Class Sect was undeserved. Now, with the Purple Demon King making a move, instantly intimidating four Dragon Emperor Realm demon beasts, after this incident is spread, no one will ever dare doubt whether the Phoenix Sect is qualified to be a First-Class Sect anymore.”

”Though God Slayer Ling Xiao didn’t make a move, being equally renowned with the Purple Demon King means his strength is certainly not lacking. This also indicates... the Phoenix Sect has two Dragon Emperor Realm individuals!”

”Not just two; that’s just on the surface. Don’t forget, Su Zun alone can slay a strong cultivator at the Early Stage of the Dragon Emperor Realm, and the Phoenix Sect is filled with hidden talents and countless strong individuals, so there are likely more Dragon Emperor Realm cultivators.”

”Hahaha, this is the Phoenix Sect I was expecting!”

Many discussions spread around, and if they previously wanted to join the Phoenix Sect only because of their admiration for Su Han, that thought had now entirely changed.

The Phoenix Sect was no longer just reliant on Su Han, the soul figure; the entire strength of the Phoenix Sect was extremely terrifying!
