Stelro's expression flickered uncertainly as he looked at Ling Feng. Even Yalo, who was stronger than himself, had been beaten to the brink of death. Now that he himself was seriously injured, what could he possibly do?

"I surrender," Stelro said with a servile smile, "As long as you don't hurt me, I guarantee I'll tell you everything I know—every last word. I will absolutely cooperate."

"Since you're so cooperative, then let's start with you introducing yourselves," Ling Feng said indifferently as he stared at Stelro. "What organization do you belong to, and what are you doing here? What are your goals, and what exactly are the Dark Flower and the Devil's Ring?"

Stelro clenched his teeth and said, "We are from Hell's Gate. Our main purpose in coming to Yanjing is to cultivate the Dark Flower and use its juice to unlock the Devil's Ring seal!"

Hell's Gate? Ling Feng frowned. He had been involved in the Underworld for over a decade, but he had never heard of the name Hell's Gate. Could it be a new power that had emerged recently?

Stelro continued, "The Dark Flower is said to be an Otherworldly flower brought from Hell by our great leader. It needs the nourishment of Dark Force and fresh blood to bloom. The juice of the Dark Flower has a strong corrosive power, capable of corroding nearly any Barrier, so..."

"So you want to use this juice to break the so-called seal of the Devil's Ring, right?" Ling Feng cut in. "And what about the Devil's Ring itself?"

Stelro said with a pained expression, "The Devil's Ring is a Divine Artifact said to be worn by the Hell Demon, possessing inconceivable power. We..."

As he spoke, Stelro had already moved next to the Dark Flower and suddenly grabbed it, stuffing the Dark Flower into his mouth as swift as lightning.

"Haha, kid, you're just too naive!" Stelro laughed triumphantly. "Now that I've swallowed the Dark Flower, my power will skyrocket. You're no match for me now!"

During his speech, Stelro's aura grew stronger and stronger, and the injuries he had sustained healed completely in the blink of an eye.

Ling Feng slightly furrowed his brow. Although he didn't know the peculiarities of the Dark Flower, he could see that after swallowing the Dark Flower, Stelro's strength had jumped from A rank to the S rank Demi-God Domain in an instant!

"What a magical Dark Flower!" muttered Ling Feng.

"Is this the power of the Demi-God Domain?" Stelro clenched his fist, feeling his body brimming with strength, almost as if he could punch through the Void.

At that moment, Stelro looked at Ling Feng with a scornful gaze. "Kid, did you really think that I, the noble Stelro, would submit to your threats? What a joke! The humiliation you gave me just now, I will take it all back from you!"

With that, Stelro's figure flickered, leaving behind countless afterimages in the air, his triumphant screeches echoing from all directions.

With a whoosh, Ling Feng felt a coolness in front of his face, and a tiny wound appeared on his cheek, but it healed rapidly.

"Using air as a blade?" Ling Feng licked his lips. "Even though your strength has advanced to the Demi-God Domain, this power isn't truly your own. In front of me, you're still far from sufficient!"

With those words, Ling Feng clenched his hand and the air in front of him twisted instantly. A cry of pain followed as a black figure fell out of the Void.

"How is this possible!" Stelro watched Ling Feng in disbelief. "I'm now a master of the Demi-God Domain too, so how can you still injure me so easily?"

Ling Feng sneered, "Demi-God Domain? Do you really think the Demi-God Domain is that simple? I've said it before, you're merely using external forces to artificially boost your strength to the Demi-God Domain. You can't truly understand the power of this domain, nor can you genuinely unleash the power of the Demi-God Domain! In the end, you're nothing but a pathetic worm!"

"No way!" Stelro stood up, his eyes reddening, "The Demi-God Domain is the strongest in this world, and now that I've reached this realm, I am the strongest! There's no way you can defeat me!"

Ling Feng shook his head. Someone like Stelro who had never stepped into the Demi-God Domain could never really understand its strength, nor could he truly comprehend that even within the Demi-God Domain, there are levels of strength!

Of course, Ling Feng wouldn't bother explaining this to him.

"I should finish him off quickly!" Ling Feng muttered to himself, "After dealing with this guy, I need to take Meizi to the villa to rest a bit."

"I won't accept this!" At this moment, Stelro shouted loudly, "Blood Clan Secret Technique: Blood Demon Assault!"

As his shout rang out, countless tiny bats flew from his body, and in an instant, millions of bats filled the entire space.

Ling Feng frowned slightly and quickly locked down the space around him. The tiny bats were stopped half a meter away from him, unable to push through no matter how much they struggled, as if there was an invisible wall in this half-meter area.

"Damn it!" Stelro's eyes were completely red. This move was his strongest, but he couldn't even get close to Ling Feng, which made him incredibly agitated.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky!" Stelro charged forward and grabbed Yalo, intending to take the opportunity to escape with him.

But just then, Stelro's body trembled, and the bats that blotted out the sky instantly turned into streams of black mist and returned to Stelro's body.

Stelro clutched at his throat with both hands, his eyes bulging out, he cried out in agony, "No, don't, please don't!"

Ling Feng was puzzled. What was this guy up to now?

But soon, a shocking scene unfolded before Ling Feng's eyes. Stelro was rolling on the ground, and at the same time, black, thin roots began to emerge from Stelro's mouth, nose, and ears.

"This is..." Ling Feng's eyes showed a flicker of vigilance as he picked up Wei Meizi and moved away from Stelro.

Stelro's body kept twitching, and the roots that stretched out of his mouth soon wrapped around him completely.

"Please, kill me!" Stelro begged Ling Feng with pleading eyes.

Ling Feng sighed and snapped a Finger Wind. The Finger Wind shot into Stelro's body and exploded his heart, and he closed his eyes with a look of relief.

"What on earth is this Dark Flower!" Ling Feng stared at the Dark Flower that had wrapped around Stelro, his heart filled with horror.

He had originally thought that Stelro had consumed the Dark Flower and obtained such immense power, but unexpectedly, it was the Dark Flower that was using Stelro as nourishment, sucking away his power.
