Chapter 383: Chapter 383 Earth Fiend

Shi Feng paid no heed to the shouts from the burly Snake-man of the Snake-man Clan behind him; no one knew of the wolf’s loyalty to him, for this was no ordinary wolf—it was a Ghost Wolf!

The frustrated Snake-man Clan warrior, Yajia, didn’t realize the truth until someone patted his shoulder and told him, "Don’t be foolish, haven’t you noticed? This wolf is actually the mount of Lord Messenger; this wolf and those two mysterious creatures that resemble humans from the Human Clan must have come here looking for Lord Messenger!"

Later on, Yajia gradually came to his senses and, sure enough, when that pale, eerie-looking youth with the white Bone Spur approached Shi Feng, he quickly knelt on one knee, brought his left hand to wrap around the right fist holding the Bone Spur, and called out in a low shout, "I greet my Master!" The voice was as pleasant and clear as a silver bell.

Soon after, the earthy yellow figure also arrived following the Dark Evil, looked at Dark Evil and the Ghost Wolf, and then glanced at Shi Feng standing proudly in front of them. He hesitated for a moment and then followed Dark Evil’s lead, knelt on one knee before Shi Feng and shouted in a low voice, "Master..." It was his first time calling someone Master, and his voice sounded somewhat rough and stiff.

Shi Feng revealed a smile full of meaning as he looked toward the Earth Element Corpse and chuckled, "Do you truly, sincerely acknowledge me as your master, never to change your heart?"

"I... I..." The Earth Element Corpse, upon hearing Shi Feng’s question and meeting his gaze, said, "I was defeated. Dark Evil, Ghost Wolf spared my life; you are their master. I have promised to acknowledge you as my master, and once I, Tu Xing, make a decision, it will never change!" The Earth Element Corpse declared with a firm expression and then seemed to remember something, adding, "Dark Evil said, by following you, you could grant me even greater strength—I want that power!"

"Master, I believe him. If Tu Xing acknowledges you as his master, he will never betray you; I can guarantee it!" Dark Evil, upon hearing the conversation between Shi Feng and the Earth Element Corpse, assured Shi Feng with a determined face.

"Hmm, I believe you!" Shi Feng nodded slightly and said to the Earth Element Corpse, then added, "From now on, your name shall be Earth Fiend!"

"Yes, Master!" the Earth Element Corpse responded.

"Rise, all of you!" Shi Feng declared to Dark Evil, Ghost Wolf, and Earth Fiend, and then a flash of blood-red light appeared in front of him, "Roar! Roar!" A blood-colored humanoid creature emerged, emitting roars like those of a wild beast.

"What is this!"

"What is this!"

Dark Evil and Earth Fiend stood up, their gazes instantly fixed on the newly-appeared blood-colored humanoid creature. A strange sense of legacy connection emerged in their minds, just as when Dark Evil and Earth Fiend first encountered each other, and together they named the blood-colored humanoid creature: "Blood Yin Corpse!"

With a thought from Shi Feng, the roaring Blood Yin Corpse immediately quieted down. Pointing at the Blood Yin Corpse, Shi Feng said to Dark Evil and Earth Fiend, "This is indeed a Blood Yin Corpse. I have already named it Blood Fiend. Its rank is too low, merely a Second-stage Master-level, and it has not yet awakened its Spiritual Wisdom. From now on, you two will take it with you and help it grow stronger."

"Yes, Master!"

"Yes, Master!"

Dark Evil and Earth Fiend simultaneously responded.

"The time has finally come!" Shi Feng then clasped his hands behind his back and gazed into the distance, murmuring softly.

In the distance, within the dust-laden desert, a series of black figures began to materialize. More and more appeared, densely packed, and then they surged forward like a dark tide.

"Dark Elf Clan!"

"Dark Elf Clan!"

Among the Snake-man Clan, cries of alarm rang out when they spotted the figures approaching. The ones in the forefront were warriors of the Dark Elf Clan, clad in Dark Armor, their dark purple skin and beautiful faces, both male and female, stood out as they each held dark bows that gleamed with a sinister luster. Following them, more Dark Elf Clan powerhouses appeared from the Void.

The Elf Clan had existed since the Ancient Period, living deep within the forests.

The Dark Elf Clan, according to legend, were once a tribe of elves who fell from grace for unknown reasons and offered their souls to a mysterious demon of the Ancient Period. Since then, the elves of that tribe underwent a mutation; their fair skin turned to dark purple, and the dark purple patterns over their hearts were said to be marks left by the demon on their ancestors.

The fallen Dark Elf Clan, it was said, had their natures twisted by the influence of the mysterious Demon, becoming bloodthirsty and brutal. Eventually, they were driven out from the forest by the combined efforts of the other races and were banished to this remote desert.

Shi Feng’s gaze followed the increasing numbers of Dark Elves until it finally rested on a strikingly beautiful middle-aged woman in the Void. Her dark purple complexion was both regal and exquisite, exuding nobility, elegance, and a bewitching beauty.

The middle-aged woman wore an intricate robe of darkness that hugged her tempting curves, similar in style to the emperor’s robes of the Human Clan but adorned not with golden dragons, but with the same uncanny dark purple patterns that marked her chest.

This person was none other than the Empress of the Dark Elf Clan—Aisali!

Three-star Martial Venerable Realm!

Shi Feng immediately discerned the Martial Arts Realm of the stunning middle-aged Dark Elf woman.

At that moment, the beautiful face of the Dark Elf woman also turned towards the defiant Shi Feng among the Snake-man Clan, pinning him with her gaze.

With a slight lift of her right hand, Aisali halted the advance of the Dark Elf Clan powerhouses following her in the Void. Simultaneously, the warriors of the Dark Elf Clan at ground level also stop moving, forming a standoff with the Snake-man Clan at a distance.

Suddenly, the Snake-man Clan, feeling the powerful aura emitted by the Dark Elf Clan, began to grow restless and panicked. Under the weight of that intangible presence, many of their bodies could not help but tremble.

There stood the Dark Elf Clan, the most powerful race in the desert, a race that struck terror into the hearts of any other clan within it! Upon truly witnessing the might of the Dark Elf Clan, the strong resolve that the Snake-man Clan had built quickly dissipated under that unseen pressure.

The Dark Elf Clan’s warriors, numbering around two thousand on the ground, exuded a mysterious dark aura far surpassing that of the ten thousand or so Snake-man Clan warriors. The lowest realm among those Dark Elf warriors was the Realm of Martial Spirit, and there were many Martial King Realm Experts among them.

And in the Void above, a full twenty Dark Elf Clan powerhouses standing behind Empress Aisali occupied at least Martial Sect Realm, with only those of the Martial Sect Realm or higher having the privilege to stand in the Void behind the exalted Empress.

Apart from Empress Aisali, there were also several Martial Venerable powerhouses. The might of the Dark Elf Clan, after countless years wandered across the boundless desert, was not an empty reputation.
