# Chapter 1754: Demon Flood Dragon
Lin Feng once again set foot in the Declaration Hall, but what rather frustrated him was that after coming out of the War King Hall, his War King Token had actually dropped by one level. When he defeated Ximu, he was ranked eighteenth on the Hidden King List: Human List, and his War King Token was at level ten. Now, his War King Token had dropped to level nine. He had no idea which few people had challenged those ranked above him during these three months.
Starting from the second floor of the Declaration Hall, there was information of direct value. The higher one went, the greater the value of the intelligence.
At this moment, Lin Feng was on the ninth floor of the Declaration Hall. Information was carved on all four walls. Lin Feng was standing before one wall, looking at the words inscribed in front of him.
"Holy City Central Continent, Northern Domain Demon Swamp region. A ten-thousand-year demon snake shed its skin and transformed into a black demon flood dragon, giving birth to nine claws, with the strength of a Mid-rank Emperor." Lin Feng looked at the words on the stone wall in front of him. Behind them was some introduction to the Northern Domain Demon Swamp—a barbaric wasteland covering ten thousand miles, impassable by ground, inhabited by many demon beasts unwilling to take human form. They were powerful, and disciples from ancient clans and major forces often came here for training.
"Black Demon Flood Dragon." Lin Feng murmured softly. He had also looked at some nearby information, but the closest was this Demon Swamp of Holy City Central Continent. Snakes transformed into flood dragons, and flood dragons transformed into true dragons.
A flood dragon's value to him was extraordinary. After all, there was still a little life inside his body, and this little life was in its growth stage, needing some nourishment.
"This one it is." Lin Feng said softly to himself. Although many people from War King Academy had gone out for training, there were still quite a few remaining in the academy. They might also see the training information in the Declaration Hall, and perhaps some had already set out. However, the intelligence in the Declaration Hall was updated as soon as there was any change, so Lin Feng didn't need to worry about the information being outdated.
"Leng Xia, what do you think of this training mission?" At this moment, someone beside Lin Feng pointed at the information about the Northern Domain Demon Swamp and asked. He was actually paying attention to the same training mission as Lin Feng.
The young man called Leng Xia stepped forward slowly, glanced at the information, and then said with a faint smile, "Not bad. If there's no better mission above, we'll go check this place out."
As he spoke, Leng Xia nodded slightly to the other person, and both of them headed toward the tenth floor of the Declaration Hall.
"Leng Xia, this Northern Domain Demon Swamp is no ordinary place. The two of us might find it somewhat difficult."
"Right now, how many people from our Ji Gate's Star Gate are still in the academy that we can mobilize? We'll go together," Leng Xia replied. Establishing a sect within War King Academy was also very useful. There were often dangerous training missions that required cooperation among several people. Going alone was too risky.
"Recently, Star Gate has run into some trouble. Besides, some people are outside. The number we can mobilize isn't large, but going to the Northern Domain Demon Swamp shouldn't be too much of a problem." The person spoke and then walked out of the ninth-floor hall of the Declaration Hall.
"So even Ji Gate is interested." Lin Feng's brow twitched slightly. He had seen the name Leng Xia before. He was a strong expert on the Hidden King List, ranked quite high—sixth place. Lin Feng only now learned that he was a member of Ji Gate.
Lin Feng lifted his foot and also walked outside. For the Northern Domain Demon Swamp, it would be better to go alone this time. He wouldn't bring Tantai and the others, as he didn't dare take too many risks in this dangerous place.
After leaving the Declaration Hall, Lin Feng headed straight for the exit of War King Academy.
Just as Lin Feng was preparing to leave War King Academy, Hou Qinglin and Tian Chi actually walked out of the War King Hall. Hou Qinglin had memorized the obtained Reincarnation Slaughter Record, and Tian Chi had also acquired a favored divine ability technique. Neither of them was greedy. They planned to first return and perfect the cultivation of these two divine abilities.
"Senior Brother, do you think we should go to the King-Sealing Hall now, or..." Tian Chi asked Hou Qinglin. After entering, they had inquired about some information on War King Academy and then fought fiercely. The War King Hall was the first ancient hall they had entered.
"Let's go to the Declaration Hall first. The King-Sealing Hall can wait for now," Hou Qinglin said. Tian Chi had no objections, and the two of them headed toward the Declaration Hall.
"Aren't those the master and apprentice pair?" At this moment, someone nearby recognized Hou Qinglin and Tian Chi and couldn't help but speak.
"Indeed, these two are very formidable. They both defeated experts ranked twelfth on the Hidden King List: Human List and now occupy the twelfth and thirteenth positions."
"I wonder how they compare to the two from three months ago. Those two newcomers were also powerful, especially Princess Yuwen. She seems ready to challenge someone ranked even higher." The people kept talking. Although Hou Qinglin and Tian Chi heard them, they paid no attention. What did it matter to them if two newcomers from three months ago were powerful? At this moment, they didn't know that one of those two people was someone they had been thinking about all along.
Lin Feng rode the ancient sail gifted by Duanmu Heavenly Emperor, flying through the air at a terrifying speed. Gazing at the vast and boundless Holy City Central Continent from the void, Lin Feng once again felt a sense of magnificent grandeur. This heavenly main city was clearly a series of interconnected empires.
The Northern Domain Demon Swamp was located in the northern part of Holy City Central Continent, hence its name. Even riding the ancient sail gifted by Duanmu Heavenly Emperor, Lin Feng still spent considerable time arriving at this barbaric wasteland.
At this moment, beneath Lin Feng, weeds grew thick on the yellow earth. The further he went, the more desolate and uninhabited it became.
Finally, ahead lay a deeper, more secluded area. The entire region was shrouded in a faint black aura, from which a slight demonic intent emanated, causing Lin Feng's heart to tremble. No wonder it was called the Northern Domain Demon Swamp.
Putting away the ancient sail, Lin Feng descended toward the area below. In this Northern Domain Demon Swamp, there were some terrifying ancient demons. If he flew through the void, Lin Feng feared he might alert some powerful ancient demons. It was better to proceed discreetly.
"Demon Swamp." Lin Feng looked at the ground beneath his feet. He didn't step on it but hovered in mid-air, moving through the barbaric wasteland.
"Demon beast?" Gazing in one direction, Lin Feng sensed a demonic aura spreading from there. A rumbling, terrifying sound rang out, and then Lin Feng saw a massive creature appear in his field of vision. This huge creature was a giant demon ox, unlike any Lin Feng had ever seen. It was ferocious and terrifying, actually having three horns, exuding an overwhelming sense of power.
"Courting death." The demon ox spat out a cold sound, then suddenly accelerated, charging toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's pupils contracted. This demon ox was a demon emperor. It must have seen his Honored Martial cultivation and thought he was courting death.
A powerful aura emanated from his body, wind wrapping around him. But just then, a dazzling light burst forth, and a terrifying sword light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire void. Feeling this terrifying aura, the demon ox let out a furious roar, turned around angrily, demonic energy rolling from its body as it madly charged toward the sky.
"Chi!" Countless rays of light slashed down from the sky. Lin Feng's body retreated explosively. A miserable roar rolled through the air, and Lin Feng saw the demon ox's body being split open.
A figure stepped forward, as fast as lightning. Overwhelming sword light bloomed, and all the terrifying sword light imprinted itself into the demon ox's head. The roar stopped, and the demon ox plummeted heavily toward the ground.
"Not bad." A crisp voice came. The falling body of the demon ox was caught by someone. Appearing before Lin Feng was a beautiful woman with bright eyes like stars and moons, a delicate nose, slightly flushed jade-like cheeks, and cherry-red lips. Her figure was graceful and slender. This woman was smiling faintly. Despite her seemingly delicate frame, she could lift a demon ox in her hand, only putting it away after the ox had completely died.
"Excellent sword technique." Lin Feng glanced at the person who had killed the demon ox. It was a young man with a slender build, his hair tied up, carrying a dashing air. He clearly had an extraordinary bearing.
Besides these two, there was another young man wearing a pale golden long robe, elegant and graceful. The three had approached silently, and the demon ox hadn't noticed them at all, being killed instantly. This showed that none of them were ordinary.
"An Honored Martial cultivator?" The young man in the pale golden robe looked at Lin Feng with a strange expression. But the woman smiled and said, "Who are you? How did you get here?"
"Just wandering around," Lin Feng replied calmly.
"My name is Yun Qingyan. The three of us are students of War King Academy, here for training. Your cultivation isn't strong. Why don't you come with us? We can look out for you a bit." The woman smiled at Lin Feng. Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and then he nodded slightly. He didn't refuse. Having a few companions along the way didn't matter.
"Yun Qingyan." Lin Feng's expression shifted. War King Academy did indeed have this person. She had appeared on the Hidden King List, but Lin Feng couldn't remember her exact position. He had only glanced at it briefly and hadn't engraved it with his divine sense.
"Alright, let's go." Yun Qingyan smiled, very polite. Lin Feng followed the group as they moved forward.
"Are you also here for the demon flood dragon?" On the way, Yun Qingyan asked Lin Feng with a smile.
"I heard a demon flood dragon had appeared and came to take a look. I don't dare to have any covetous intentions." Sensing the faint hostility from the two young men beside him, Lin Feng didn't tell the truth.
"With the demon flood dragon appearing, the four academies should all have received the news. It's not just people from War King Academy who have come; there are other strong experts too. Your cultivation hasn't reached Martial Emperor, yet you dare to step into this Demon Swamp. That's truly bold. If you hadn't been lucky enough to meet me, you might have died at the hands of that demon ox."
Yun Qingyan's voice was gentle and didn't sound harsh. Lin Feng didn't argue.
