Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 273 Who exactly is this guy?

"what happened?"

Lina instantly became alert; Arbok raised its head, its fangs gleaming coldly.

Barton waved his hand, and his Golem immediately blocked the way.

Ling Feng's gaze fell on a corner of the system map.

On the edge of a low-lying valley they were about to pass, a dark red dot representing a powerful creature was quietly hiding there; clearly, it was a powerful Ghost-type Pokémon.

Next to that red dot, there were several extremely faint, almost extinguished green dots. According to Ling Feng's experience, green dots belonged to friendly forces, which meant that they were likely the Night Watch's insignia!

"There's something going on about 300 meters to the right of the valley entrance ahead."

Ling Feng's voice was very low.

“A very strong guy, and… possibly a trapped Night's Watchman.”

Rex and his two companions immediately looked in that direction.

The valley entrance was surrounded by jagged rocks, obstructing their view. They could only vaguely sense a chilling aura emanating from that direction. Based on their experience, such an aura was definitely not something a Pokémon could handle.

Their own detection equipment was also showing no reaction, just a flurry of activity.

This means that what Ling Feng said is mostly true.

"Damn it...we really crashed into each other?" Rex's face was grim. "Can we avoid it?"

“A detour would add at least an hour to the journey and would take you into a more dangerous area.”

Ling Feng quickly glanced at the map. "This guy's location is right on the flank of our only route, which means he's planning to ambush anyone who goes this way."

As if to confirm his words, a shrill, piercing roar, filled with pain and rage, suddenly came from the direction of the valley entrance!
Immediately following were a few urgent but faint shouts, and the explosive sound of energy colliding!
Then, everything fell silent instantly, and the aura began to spread rapidly in their direction!

"It's a distress signal from the Night's Watch!"

Lina's expression changed; she seemed to have some understanding of the communication methods of the spirit world.

"grass!"

Rex cursed.

The Night Watchman is not weak, which means that Pokémon is definitely very strong.

"Barton, Lena, come with me to see what's going on."

"Ling Feng, you take the supply crates and the people who know the way and retreat to the fortress to report the news! Ask them to send reinforcements! Hao Li, Barton's Golem, and I will try our best to hold that thing off!"

When he shouted those words, there was not a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

The Machamp instantly entered battle stance, its muscles bulging, its eyes fiercely fixed on the valley entrance, completely devoid of the fear it had felt when facing Gengar.

Barton stepped forward, and the rock armor on Rumbler's body emitted a low scraping sound, ready to withstand the impact.

Ling Feng looked at Rex with some surprise.

This scarred man, who had previously been swearing constantly, showed such responsibility in the face of life and death. He chose to let the one who knew the way lead the way while he took the other teammates to check the situation.

This guy has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

"how about you?"

Ling Feng said.

"We're tough as nails! Enough talk! Let's go!" Rex roared, already pulling out a Poké Ball, ready to summon other Pokémon.

Ling Feng shook his head, his gaze passing over Rex and looking towards the valley entrance where the aura was growing increasingly violent.

"No need to leave. Just give me this."

"What?!" Rex, Lina, and Barton were all stunned, staring at Ling Feng as if he were a madman.

Give it to him?
The aura emanating from the other side sent chills down their spines even from hundreds of meters away; it was definitely a terrifying existence at the Heavenly King level!
Even if the whole team were tied together, they might not be able to last more than a few minutes!
"Are you crazy? Even people from the Spirit Realm lineage couldn't withstand it, and with that kind of aura, that's a Heavenly King-level berserk ghost! This is no joke!"

Rex got angry.

Ling Feng didn't explain further, but instead threw out another Poké Ball.

The eerie blue flames rose silently, no longer a warm glow, but bursting forth with a bone-chilling cold and a terrifying, suffocating pressure!
The Crystal Lamp Spirit, its body composed of black metal and cold flames, slowly floated forward and hovered in front of Ling Feng. Its core of flame locked onto the direction of the valley entrance, and a vast and boundless aura, far surpassing that of a Quasi-Heavenly King, swept out without reservation!
"Heavenly...Heavenly King level?!"

No, that's not all!
Rex's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his mouth was agape enough to fit a fist. Compared to the shock he had felt towards Gengar, this scene was nothing!
He thought Gengar was Ling Feng's trump card, but he didn't expect there to be a second Pokémon with such terrifying strength!

Lina gasped, instinctively taking a half-step back. Arbok coiled itself up tightly, its snake-like eyes filled with terror. Even Barton, who had been silent as a mountain, tightened his grip on his shield, and Golem let out an uneasy growl.

Just as they were stunned into silence, the terrifying being lurking at the valley entrance seemed to be enraged by the Crystal Lamp Spirit's undisguisedly powerful aura!
boom!
A massive black boulder, weighing several tons, was lifted up like a cannonball by an invisible force and crashed down on the team's location with a piercing whistling sound!

Before the rocks even arrived, a chilling mental shock filled with madness, resentment, and a destructive desire had already struck first!

"careful!"

Rex's pupils constricted, and he instinctively roared.

Haoli roared and was about to rush forward to block it head-on.

"Crystal Chandelier Spirit, Hot Wind." Ling Feng's voice remained calm, yet it carried a strange penetrating power, instantly drowning out the howling of the rocks.

The azure flames surrounding the Crystal Chandelier Spirit suddenly surged!

The flames transformed into a surging, all-encompassing sea of ​​fire, bursting forth.

A violent, fan-shaped eruption of heat shot forward!

rainbow--!
The giant rock that flew into the air did not explode the moment it came into contact with the sea of ​​blue flames. Instead, it made a melting sound and dissolved rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving not even a single fragment behind!
The fierce mental impact crashed into the sea of ​​fire, but only caused the dark blue flames to sway violently before being burned away by the extreme heat.

The sea of ​​fire continued its relentless advance, crashing violently into the right side of the valley entrance.

Rumble!
The rocks cracked and shattered under the impact of extreme heat.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a massive figure was forced to reveal its true form!

That was a giant, decaying wood demon that was over four meters tall!
Its body is made up of countless black, twisted, and seemingly charred ancient tree trunks and vines, and at the location of the tree hole-like "eyes", two wildly pulsating scarlet lights are burning!
It was enveloped in an intensely dense black aura, with countless vengeful black wisps of mist howling and churning around its body. One of its arms, having just hurled a boulder, was now radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.

The overwhelming pressure from the initial stage of the Heavenly King realm was like a tangible tsunami, impacting everyone's nerves wave after wave!
"A... a Wood Demon! And a Heavenly King level one at that!"

Rex's voice changed, filled with despair.

With the support of the spirit tide, the destructive power of this level of berserk ghost is simply unimaginable!
But the next moment, he realized what was happening.

No, the strength of that Chandelier Spirit...
The berserk Wood Demon let out a deafening roar, its scarlet eyes fixed on the Chandelier Spirit that it felt threatened, and Ling Feng behind it!
Its massive body unleashed a terrifying speed disproportionate to its size. Countless black, thorny vines tore through the air with ear-piercing shrieks, sweeping towards Crystal Lamp Spirit and Ling Feng in a devastating attack!

Wherever the vines passed, even the air seemed to be corroded, leaving faint black marks!

"Shadowball".

Ling Feng simply announced the name of the move.

The Crystal Chandelier Spirit hovered in place, its core of eerie blue flames spinning rapidly!
One after another, jet-black energy spheres the size of a human head instantly condensed and shot out like a barrage of bullets!

Each Shadow Ball struck precisely at the tips of the incoming vines!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions was deafening and continuous!
Dark energy turbulence and fragments of broken vines flew everywhere!
The Wood Demon's vine offensive was destroyed, but more vines continued to grow and entwine wildly, like an endless black tide!
"hiss--"

The Wood Demon roared angrily, its massive trunk trembled violently, and countless dark, seed-like specks of light shot out from its surface, raining down on the area where the Crystal Chandelier Spirit was.

As soon as those black specks landed, they frantically absorbed the death energy of the surrounding spirit world, instantly expanding into beings that were pitch black all over and had red glowing eyes.

—It turns out that so many vengeful dolls were hanging on his body!

At this moment, dozens of vengeful shadow dolls all began to rush towards the direction of the crystal chandelier spirit.

"Will-o'-the-wisp, spreading in a circular pattern."

Ling Feng's instructions were swift and decisive.

The flames around the Crystal Chandelier Spirit suddenly contracted, and then dozens of ghostly blue flames silently scattered, precisely meeting the onrushing horde of vengeful shadow dolls!
Without any violent explosion, the ghostly dolls touched by the will-o'-the-wisp were instantly engulfed by the eerie blue flames, like pieces of paper being set ablaze, and fell to the ground.

However, just as the will-o'-the-wisps cleared the area, the massive figure of the Rotten Wood Demon mysteriously vanished from its spot!
The next moment, it appeared as if it had teleported to the top of the crystal chandelier!

A giant claw shrouded in dense black energy, carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing through space, slammed down fiercely towards the Crystal Lamp Spirit!
This strike concentrated all its power, and its speed was extreme!

"careful!"

Rex and the others were on tenterhooks!

They've come closer on their own initiative?

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow.

Then I won't be polite.

For the first time, he proactively unleashed the active effect of his character skill [Dragon's Majesty] – "Domain of Intimidation"!
hum!
An invisible, terrifying pressure originating from the deepest part of the dragon Pokémon bloodline suddenly erupted centered on Ling Feng!

This is not an energy surge, but a pure suppression of energy, unique to Dragon-type Pokémon!
This invisible dragon's might instantly enveloped an area of ​​tens of meters in radius!

The first to be attacked, the rotten wood demon, suddenly paused its ferocious downward claw strike!
For the first time, a fear and bewilderment, stemming from instinct and penetrating to the bone, was revealed in its scarlet, crazed eyes!
It was as if it wasn't facing a human, but a Dragon-type Pokémon several times stronger than itself!
Its berserk spirit, driven by the tide of the spirit world, collapsed momentarily in the face of such immense pressure!
His movements inevitably stiffened slightly.

This momentary stagnation is a fatal flaw in a battle of this level.

"overheat!"

Ling Feng immediately spoke.

The Crystal Chandelier Spirit reacted extremely quickly; its deep blue flame core instantly transformed from cold to red, as if a miniature sun had ignited within it!

A massive amount of fire energy was compressed to its limit in an instant, and then... it exploded!
A condensed beam of fire tore through the dark sky of the spirit realm and struck the massive trunk of the Wood Demon, whose movements were stiffened by the dragon's might!
Boom!!!

A deafening explosion rang out!
The blinding flames instantly engulfed the massive body of the Wood Demon!

The violent energy shockwave exploded in a ring, flattening a layer of the hard black rock on the ground.

A scorching wave of air, mixed with the acrid smell of the burnt wood demon's body, rushed towards us!

The white light lasted for several seconds before slowly dissipating.

When the light faded, Rex, Lina, Barton, and all their Pokémon were stunned, as if petrified.

Ahead, the massive body of the Rotten Wood Demon disappeared in a circle.

Centered on its chest, a huge, charred cavity with a diameter of over two meters appeared!

The tree trunks and vines at the edges are still emitting black smoke.

Around the void, on the charred remains, the once wildly pulsating crimson light had been completely extinguished, leaving only a deathly silence.

Its massive body swayed and finally crashed to the ground with a loud thud, kicking up clouds of dust, and then fell silent.

One strike!
Just one strike!
A berserk Wood Demon of the Heavenly King level was instantly killed by the attack of the Crystal Chandelier Spirit!

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Rex's mouth remained wide open, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty, but no sound came out.

He looked at Ling Feng's still calm profile, then at the Crystal Lamp Spirit floating in front of Ling Feng, its flames slowly receding back to a deep blue, as if the earth-shattering attack just now was merely an illusion.

Finally, his gaze fell on the huge, charred wreckage on the ground... A chill ran through him, mixed with an indescribable shock.

Lina's face turned deathly pale, and her eyes were filled with horror and a kind of... awe as she looked at Ling Feng.

The Arbok beside her pressed its body tightly against the ground, trembling.

For the first time, a violent emotional fluctuation appeared on Patton's rock-like face; clearly, what had just happened far exceeded his expectations.

They finally understood why this young man named Ling Feng dared to enter the Spirit Realm with them and even dared to confront such a Champion-level Spirit Realm Pokémon.

Because he's a wolf in sheep's clothing, okay? He not only has a top-tier Gengar that's almost an Elite Four member by his side, but he also has a terrifying Chandelure that can instantly kill an Elite Four member berserk Ghost!

And then there was that final, invisible pressure that left their minds blank...

That clearly belongs to this guy too.
Who exactly is this guy?
