It wasn't just Zhou Xiongfeng who couldn't understand; everyone standing on the battlefield felt the same!
Feng Tian was the patriarch of one of the four great families. Even if he had truly chosen to consort with demons, he should have only wanted to obtain more power. But the current Feng Tian had clearly become an evil entity.
And he was the most powerful existence among them... an Evil General!
Kong Shan Kui's expression was grim to the extreme, his gaze toward Feng Tian as predatory as a tiger or a wolf.
Feng Tian lowered his eyes, observing these faces, some familiar and some strange.
And almost every single one of these faces harbored extreme hatred for him, wanting nothing more than to kill him immediately.
Finally, his sinister gaze fell upon Kong Shan Kui, Zhou Xiongfeng, and Ma Yi.
"Long time no see!"
After Kong Shan Kui's gaze flickered violently for a moment, a low voice rang out through the clouds.
"You are not Feng Tian!"
Or rather, you are not the complete Feng Tian at all.
Kong Shan Kui's words instantly caused a massive uproar.
Even Su Yan's expression changed.
Feng Tian was not offended in the slightest; in his eyes, the current Kong Shan Kui was nothing more than an ant.
"Patriarch Kong, I didn't expect your eyes to become even more piercing after all these years."
Such an answer was equivalent to confirming Kong Shan Kui's previous statement.
"However, I now possess everything that belonged to Feng Tian, so the person you want to kill is still me," Feng Tian said, completely unconcerned.
Kong Shan Kui's grip on his weapon tightened. "When exactly did you replace Feng Tian? And what about the rest of the Feng family?"
Previously, they thought the absence of any Feng family members here was an empty city stratagem intentionally set by Feng Tian, but at this moment, Kong Shan Kui no longer felt that way.
"Those who submitted to me have all been granted the right to have ambition. As for those ants who refused to submit, they were naturally cleaned up by me long ago."
Almost everyone gasped; no one had expected it to be like this.
Su Yan's expression grew even more solemn. From the very beginning, she had wanted to avenge her mother and seek justice, but now that Kong Lingfeng was dead and Feng Tian was dead, it felt as if all her actions had turned into a joke!
"Where is Feng Tian?"
A shadow of gloom surfaced in Kong Shan Kui's eyes, as if he cared about this even more than Su Yan did.
"Hahaha! That man actually deluded himself into thinking he could absorb my power. Stupid human, how could he have imagined that all of this was a plan I had prepared for thousands of years? He wanted to use me to achieve his goals, but in the end, it was I who used him to break this shackle that has been imprisoned for millennia. So, I kindly allowed him to become one with me."
As Feng Tian spoke, the malevolence surrounding his body surged, as if he might annihilate everyone present in the next second.
"Kong Shan Kui, do you know who the person I admire most among all these people is?"
Kong Shan Kui stared at him coldly.
"It is you, Kong Shan Kui. If you hadn't incited this war, I would have had more time to complete my plan. By that time, the entire world will belong to us evil spirits."
The expression on Feng Tian's face remained a smile, but that smile sent shivers down people's spines.
"Bah! If we could seal you once a thousand years ago, we can seal you a second time today. Your grand delusions will surely end in ruin!" This time, it was Zhou Xiongfeng who spoke. By now, they were all prepared to perish alongside him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Patriarch Zhou, do you truly believe Kong Shan Kui started this war for the sake of the common people?" Feng Tian's gaze toward Zhou Xiongfeng was completely different from his gaze toward Kong Shan Kui; he looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Zhou Xiongfeng's brow furrowed deeply; he couldn't understand what he meant at all.
Feng Tian continued, "Kong Shan Kui's goal was never the common people, but a woman."
Having said that, he cast a mocking glance toward Kong Shan Kui.
He had retained all of Feng Tian's memories, so naturally, he knew everything Kong Shan Kui had done like the back of his hand.
As these words were spoken, the entire battlefield fell into an uproar.
Kong Ling, Kong Chao, and all the surviving Kong family disciples showed expressions of disbelief.
Kong Xiang's expression stiffened similarly, but he understood Kong Shan Kui better than anyone.
Feng Tian's words provided instant answers to the doubts he had harbored for a long time.
His gaze shifted violently, knowing that everything Feng Tian said was true.
"Patriarch, what does he mean? What woman?"
Kong Ling was the first to lose his composure, shouting his question toward Kong Shan Kui, who stood at the very top.
There was nothing on Kong Shan Kui's face except for coldness.
The first to regain his senses was still Zhou Xiongfeng; his mind was exceptionally clear.
Regardless of what Kong Shan Kui's motivation was, this battle was unavoidable, so there was no longer any meaning in digging deeper.
"Second Elder, do you still not understand? Feng Tian is already an evil spirit. You cannot believe anything he says. His goal is to sow discord between us. If we cannot eliminate Feng Tian, not only will we all die here, but the world will be plunged into chaos!"
Zhou Xiongfeng's explanation finally brought the gradually spiraling situation back under control.
Because he was right; they had no way to retreat.
Kong Ling wanted to ask more, but he was pulled back by Kong Chao beside him. Kong Chao shook his head directly, clearly telling him not to dwell on these matters anymore.
Su Yan stared intently at Kong Shan Kui, her heart tossed by a storm of waves.
Even though Feng Tian hadn't named the woman, she already knew that everything Kong Shan Kui had done was to avenge her mother.
Including killing Kong Lingfeng, killing the Fourth and Fifth Elders of the Kong family, and even orchestrating this crusade—the purpose was to kill Feng Tian, who was participating in it!
Everything was telling her that Kong Shan Kui had no connection to her mother.
In her memory, her mother had never mentioned the name Kong Shan Kui, but she knew that in those years they knew nothing about, Kong Shan Kui and her mother must have had some kind of connection.
This man, Kong Shan Kui, was even more profound and mad than she had imagined. So, in his heart, was her mother's weight truly heavier than the entire world?
"Feng Tian, there is no use in more talk. Fight!"
"Feng Tian, give back my son and daughter's lives!"
"Feng Tian, today, either you die or we perish!"
Accompanied by Kong Shan Kui's command to fight, everyone let out a roar, exerting all their strength to attack Feng Tian.
Feng Tian did not expect to actually succeed in sowing discord. In his eyes, whether it was the people before him or hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands more, they were all just a swarm of ants.
Next, he was going to show them what true strength meant.
And what he would do was have the evil spirits rule the entire world, with no one able to stop him!
