Chu Feng looked up and smiled faintly, "You've been tricked."
Hearing this, the demonized Xiao Wu's stiff face twitched; it was clear that her Demonic Malevolent Qi was fearing Chu Feng.
In the next second, Chu Feng disappeared from right in front of her and unexpectedly emerged from behind her.
The move Teleportation still seemed very useful, especially against enemies like this who lacked independent thought.
Just as Xiao Wu reacted, Chu Feng had already grabbed her left hand and slammed her through the air.
By the time she tried to use her spirit power to steady herself, the next slam came.
After several such slams, Xiao Wu was dizzy and disoriented. Even though she possessed an overwhelming fighting intent, her poor physical condition prevented her from exerting her full strength, leaving her momentarily stunned.
Qian Renxue watched with curiosity; she really couldn't imagine what Chu Feng was doing.
According to his previous logic, Chu Feng would have already settled things swiftly by now.
After all, he was someone who couldn't tolerate any nonsense, let alone the fact that he possessed immense power; he naturally wouldn't be soft-hearted.
At this moment, Bibi Dong approached. She had just finished dealing with some of the surrounding Demons and looked slightly exhausted.
"What's wrong? Weren't you always wanting to help him fight? Why are you so quiet now?"
Having experienced much of the world's ways, Bibi Dong naturally saw through what was on her daughter's mind.
"Hmph, instead of asking me, you'd better consider yourself. What do you think that woman means to Chu Feng?"
Qian Renxue was indeed accustomed to being confrontational; her words were like thorns, and her tone was very aggressive.
Bibi Dong brushed aside the loose hair on her forehead. She didn't answer Qian Renxue directly because she also felt a lump in her heart.
She could see that Xiao Wu was young and beautiful, likely not even twenty. Of course, this was due to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth allowing her to grow rapidly.
Moreover, Xiao Wu's figure was perfect in every way—those cherry lips, that slender waist, and that soft, delicate face were truly beautiful.
Compared to a mature woman like Bibi Dong, she might be more to Chu Feng's taste.
"Are you saying Feng wants to deify Xiao Wu? But isn't she an enemy?"
Bibi Dong's Supreme Pontiff aura was ineffective now; she looked blankly, a bit hesitant.
"That depends on how much benefit the enemy can bring. In a situation where the world is about to face a great struggle, Xiao Wu might be a key piece of power."
Qian Renxue remained rational, but being able to think from Chu Feng's perspective was undoubtedly more about trying to find an advantage for herself.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng was firmly in the lead; any of Xiao Wu's offensive intentions could be easily neutralized by him.
The real trouble lay with the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. They had been demonized for too long, essentially reaching an irreversible state.
Thus, Chu Feng decided not to waste any more time and pulled out an unused reward from the system.
This was Spirit Ascension, which could trigger a second evolution of a Spirit, with results guaranteed to exceed the original attributes and traits.
Using this could remove Xiao Wu's demonized state. Actually, Primordial Qi could also remove it, but Chu Feng was considering whether he could directly deify Xiao Wu, which would greatly require the effects brought by Spirit Ascension.
Xiao Wu attacked again; it was her seventh Spirit Ability, Spirit Avatar, which conjured seven versions of herself.
In the demonized state, the seven clones each possessed ninety percent of the original's power, which was terrifying.
But for Chu Feng, it was no problem. He summoned the nine dragons divine fire cover to deal with the clones. Relying on the Samadhi True Fire spat out by the treasure, the clones' movements became sluggish.
Taking advantage of this gap, Chu Feng identified the original body, rushed directly in front of her, and forcibly infused her with the basic power of Spirit Ascension.
Xiao Wu blinked frantically, looking dazed, as if her true self was struggling to emerge.
As the saying goes, one thought can lead to a god or a demon. Chu Feng could only help her this far; the rest depended on her own will.
Soon, Xiao Wu spoke normally: "I feel so terrible, I'm in so much pain~"
Chu Feng had no choice but to take her into his arms, which was an easy thing to do.
One must know that once Xiao Wu returned to normal, her spirit power would return to a completely depleted state, so she posed no threat to Chu Feng anymore.
At this moment, Qian Renxue turned and left directly. Of course, she only went to find a quieter place. She knew Chu Feng's intentions lay here, but she had harbored lingering hopes that he wouldn't have any designs on Xiao Wu. However, reality did not go as she wished.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong stood frozen in place, somewhat lost. If there was still room for maneuver in the competition between her and her daughter for Chu Feng, Xiao Wu's addition might make the atmosphere between them completely unpredictable.
But if Chu Feng really wanted to deify Xiao Wu, how would he resolve the hatred she held over Tang San's death?
"Don't touch me."
Xiao Wu suddenly regained consciousness. When she looked at Chu Feng's face, she was instantly filled with rage.
However, the damage from demonization was too profound. Her body, inside and out, was essentially like broken machinery. Even with Spirit Ascension, it only maintained her life to prevent her from collapsing.
"Shh, be quiet. I saved you, after all. You can't suddenly be hostile toward me."
Chu Feng's smiling expression was hard for Xiao Wu to accept, especially since it was the truth.
If not for Chu Feng's full-out effort to save her, Xiao Wu probably wouldn't have survived the day.
"What about Da Ming and Er Ming?" Xiao Wu remembered her friends.
Chu Feng shook his head, "They have fallen too deep into the demonic path; there's no chance for a fresh start. Moreover, if they aren't eliminated, more Spirit Beasts will soon die because of them."
This news hit Xiao Wu like a bolt from the blue; she absolutely could not accept this even heavier reality.
But her eyes had already seen the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape wantonly destroying the city, along with the dangers brought by various Demons causing trouble.
This made Xiao Wu especially concerned about Tang Hao, but she was torn by her friendship with Tang San. The conflict between the two gave her a splitting headache.
"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind all this?" Chu Feng asked.
"Tang Hao."
Xiao Wu didn't want to answer Chu Feng voluntarily, but her stimulated nerves urged her to speak out.
"It's Tang Hao," she repeated.
Chu Feng knew this name all too well, but he hadn't expected Tang Hao to evade capture and commit evil to such an extent.
After all, as Tang San's father, they shared the same trashy character.
Yet when Tang San died, Tang Hao never even showed up. If Tang Hao was controlling everything from afar, then his level of standing by and doing nothing was utterly disgusting.
Furthermore, the current situation of Demons running wild was likely tied to Tang Hao, making Chu Feng feel it was necessary to deal with him.
However, the priority now was to first calm the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. Thus, after putting Xiao Wu down, Chu Feng prepared to take action.
Although it was a pity for these two Spirit Beasts, falling so deep into the demonic path made them Demons, and eliminating Demons was naturally the right thing to do.
