"Boss, are you okay?" Aries squeezed Li Xiaonan's hand and asked quietly.
"I'm fine!" Li Xiaonan slowly exhaled a breath of frustration, but he couldn't shake the gloom in his heart.
However, thinking it over, he couldn't really blame Fei Ji for not recognizing him; after all, he looked like this fearsome demon now...
With a face full of wicked charm, he was a far cry from the graceful young man he used to be.
Although Li Xiaonan kept searching for various excuses, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed inside.
Just then, a familiar figure slowly stepped onto the Arena.
With an air of flamboyance, it was none other than Ouyang Feng.
He walked up to Fei Ji with a smile, gently lifting her pointed chin, which immediately drew a chorus of screams from the audience.
Li Xiaonan glared angrily at those around him, feeling displeased: Brain-dead fans! What are they screaming about? That's my wife!
He shifted his gaze back to Fei Ji and Ouyang Feng, beginning to calculate the chances of success if he unleashed the Seven-Level Pagoda for a surprise attack right now.
Ouyang raised his hands in a playful manner and said with a beaming smile, "Thank you all for coming from afar to participate in today's Feast of Demons. This lady here is no stranger to you all, right?"
"Ouyang!" Another wave of cheers erupted.
Li Xiaonan felt increasingly frustrated as his eyes remained hidden beneath his eyelids, unable to roll them.
Ouyang nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Back in the day, Fei Ji was my sworn sister. Who would have thought she would end up mingling with a Cultivator and embark on an irreversible path?"
"Damn it! Enough with the nonsense! I want that woman!"
It was not a passerby speaking, but Li Xiaonan... next to Aries.
Aries could feel from his almost crushed hand that Li Xiaonan was on the verge of losing control; his boss was already teetering on the edge of a breakdown due to the incessant nagging from the Western Emperor.
"Yes!"
"Yes!" With Aries's shout, the demons below began to stir restlessly.
"Cut open the brain..." Li Xiaonan twitched his lips and gestured. Aries bit his lip and immediately reached a conclusion.
Either there would be an explosion in this silence, or it would turn into madness! His boss was leaning towards the latter!
On the Arena, Ouyang Feng's expression was slightly awkward, but he soon laughed and said, "Heh heh, everyone here at the Feast of Demons is naturally here for this Witch. To toy with her before devouring her will surely elevate one's cultivation. However... what benefit does this bring to me, Ouyang Feng?"
Li Xiaonan pouted, Inner Thoughts: Who knows what benefits there are! Maybe it's because you're brainless! Why bother with this Feast of Demons when you could just eat a full meal?
The other demons shared similar thoughts.
Ouyang Feng continued to smile, "As you all know, I have just regained control of the Southern Region and urgently need talents to assist me. I just wonder if any of you are interested?"
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but frown. Ouyang Feng was not only offering women but also power and status?
At first glance, this seemed reasonable, but upon closer inspection, it didn't hold up.
Indeed, the Southern Region was vast; it would be quite difficult for him to take it all in. Seeking help was understandable, but did he have no trusted aides? As the saying goes, "One should not let fertile water flow into another's field." What did he mean by that?
Did he really want to hold a Feast of Demons like a public audition? To benefit outsiders?
"Boss, this is actually a good opportunity! Better than competing with Akin for Central Land! But I still feel that old Ouyang isn't sincere!"
Li Xiaonan's eyes slowly swept over Aries as he transmitted his voice, "You're not stupid! Ouyang Feng either has a backup plan to control the soon-to-emerge champion or has other intentions."
Aries pressed his lips together, retracting his usual smile as he transmitted his voice, "Don't worry, Boss! Sister-in-law and the Southern Region are ours! Aries will win even if it costs his life!"
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but smile, knowing that Aries was the first to be created among the Zodiac Signs, and this kid's personality was quite to his liking.
"Don't push yourself too hard! With the Boss around, everything will be fine!" Li Xiaonan gently patted Aries on the shoulder.
Aries turned back with a smile, already prepared to be the first to leap onto the Arena.
Ouyang Feng waved his hand with great momentum, declaring, "The last person standing in the Arena not only gets the Fei Ji but also becomes the new Southern Emperor of the entire Southern Kingdom! Come on! Fight for honor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Aries had already jumped up.
"Enough talk! I'm first! Who's coming?" Aries tugged at his white fur collar, a fierce Killing Intent evident on his face.
"I'll go!" An Eighteen-Winged Demon with Eight-Pack Abs leaped up, drawing gasps from the crowd below.
The battle began with a fierce clash between seventeen and eighteen, and none present had a cultivation level higher than that of the Eighteen Wings, making it a top-tier showdown.
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly; although Aries and the Eight-Pack Abs were only one wing apart, there should be a significant difference in their cultivation levels.
What reassured Li Xiaonan was Aries's momentum, which was completely on par with that of the muscular man who was one rank higher.
His silver eyes reflected a hint of amber under the red glow of the Blood Sun.
Fei Ji beside the Arena exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"
Li Xiaonan was taken aback, his gaze fixed tightly on the Eight-Pack Abs.
He saw him smile slightly, kneeling on one knee in a pose reminiscent of a marriage proposal.
What on earth! Hats aren't usually worn often, but this year there are so many—two right off the bat, and they're all green!
No, no, no! One must have confidence in oneself!
A man like me is not only the protagonist but also a true god among men! That Eight-Pack Abs is nothing more than a backup!
Eight-Pack Abs nodded slightly and said, "Meng Dan greets Southern Emperor!"
Meng Dan? Damn! That's my wife, Fei Ji, not your Consort Xiang! What are you trying to stir up?
I can tell you're not Meng Dan at all! Who are you trying to fool?
"Go for it!" Fei Ji said lightly with a smile.
Li Xiaonan watched, feeling increasingly bitter inside.
Then, in the next moment, he realized another issue.
I remember now! I've seen this guy before; he's Fei Ji's former underling!
So he's here to save Fei Ji. Wait! Should I fight or not?
Fight! Fei Ji's underling is not my underling!
You deserve to flirt with my wife!
Li Xiaonan clenched his fists in anger and transmitted his voice, "Beat him to a pulp!"
Aries silently nodded, silver-white claws extending from between his finger bones.
Steel Wolf? A wolf in sheep's clothing! Impressive!
Why is it that everyone else has such impressive powers while my claws aren't as flashy?
At the moment when Li Xiaonan was caught off guard, Meng Dan and Aries moved simultaneously.
The two demons wore cold expressions as they raised their right hands. When they collided, a burst of white light erupted violently.
In an instant, the two demons appeared at opposite ends of the Arena, coldly kneeling on one knee.
The crowd of demons hissed in anticipation, quietly waiting for the outcome.
Li Xiaonan narrowed his eyes, concealing his astonishment.
The first strike was clear to his keen sight.
Aries had lost; a line of blood slowly traced down his fair and handsome face, starting from the corner of his eye and cutting across his cheek like a blade, leaving a glaring mark that extended to the corner of his mouth.
Aries slowly raised his hand to touch the wound, staring at the crimson on the back of his hand. Suddenly, a brilliant flash of color erupted in his eyes.
His figure flickered as he raised his hand and struck fiercely at Meng Dan, who had just stood up.
Meng Dan calmly sidestepped, delivering a claw strike to Aries' abdomen, landing a hit.
Yet Aries' smile grew even brighter, his expression more exhilarated, and his attacks became increasingly fierce.
But none of them landed.
Taurus, who had been standing behind Li Xiaonan, gently poked him and said, "If Xiao Bai keeps this self-destructive behavior up, he'll be swallowed by that Eight-Pack Abs guy sooner or later!"
"Don't rush! His momentum is still there; it's too early to determine the winner," Li Xiaonan replied. However, his knees were already bending. As fate would have it, if Aries fell into danger, he would be the first to charge in and take Fei Ji with him!
A flaw! Aries' attacks were all openings! What was he trying to accomplish?
Li Xiaonan's brows furrowed deeply; Aries was accumulating more and more wounds, blood already staining the white fur collar around his chest.
Although his movements became faster and his attacks more ferocious, his accuracy diminished, failing to even graze Meng Dan.
Was he getting impatient? No! That wasn't it. His eyes were filled with a confident smile, as if he were already the true winner in the next moment!
As Li Xiaonan pondered Aries's thoughts, Aries lunged again at Meng Dan.
Li Xiaonan's heart sank; he thought, This is bad! There’s no defense in front of his abdomen, such a huge flaw—Meng Dan definitely won’t let this opportunity slip by!
“Thud!”
The sound of flesh tearing echoed in Li Xiaonan's ears, sharp and jarring, followed by a booming noise.
Just as Li Xiaonan was about to intervene, Aries suddenly erupted into maniacal laughter, gripping the hand that had already sunk into his body. He sneered, “Thought you could escape? You’ve been caught by me!”
A swirl of golden light began to gather in Aries's left palm.
Meng Dan was startled and thought, This is bad! I’ve been tricked!
He tried to pull his hand back but failed, and the golden light pressed against his chest.
There was no pain in his chest; instead, he distinctly heard the gurgling sound of blood flowing beside him and felt a sharp pain piercing through his neck.
Aries slowly lifted his head and flashed a brilliant smile at Li Xiaonan. He staggered back two steps, leaving behind a fist-sized hole in his abdomen, through which broken intestines could be seen spilling out.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth. This guy was ruthless to his enemies but even harsher on himself!
Wounding a thousand while harming oneself seven hundred! This was definitely the Seven Injuries Fist technique!
His gaze fell on Meng Dan, who was convulsing as he knelt on the ground. The once impressive Eight-Pack Abs now revealed only a row of ribs.
A graceful figure suddenly lunged in front of Meng Dan. Fei Ji cried out, “Meng Dan! Meng Dan! Wake up!”
Meng Dan tilted his head, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his mouth as he said, "I'm... I'm sorry... I couldn't save you..."
"No! No! Meng Dan, don't die!"
The air seemed to freeze, leaving only Fei Ji's wail and the black mist that was Meng Dan.
Fei Ji slowly raised his head, his sorrowful expression striking Li Xiaonan's heart, causing a sharp pain in his chest that was hard to bear.
His teeth ground against each other, biting into the tender flesh, filling his mouth with a taste reminiscent of rusted iron.
"Who else dares to fight me?" Aries coldly glanced at Fei Ji, one hand pressed against the still bleeding wound, and shouted loudly.
A silence fell over the crowd. After a long pause, a voice shouted from among the onlookers, "Go! This guy is seriously injured!"
Although Aries maintained his imposing presence, the crowd's eyes were sharp; after a brief moment of confusion, they quickly realized that he was on the verge of defeat.
Li Xiaonan clasped his hands behind his back and lightly tapped one foot before suddenly leaping into the air, landing gracefully on the Arena. Eighteen black Flesh Wings unfurled behind him, his gaze filled with endless coldness and killing intent.
The demons below were momentarily stunned, their minds racing with a single thought: it's over! That kid on the Arena is about to be completely annihilated!
