With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

The Mercenary Guild guards parted to make way for Team Leader Shen and Master Feng.

After making its first move, the creature had just stood there watching the Mercenary Guild group without making a move.

But after it saw Team Leader Shen and Master Feng stepping forward, it couldn't help making a "ki, ki, ki" sound.

This was the sound that they had heard before, so they could now confirm that it was this creature that had made that sound.

But what they couldn't understand was how this creature had been able to hide itself on the roof without them noticing. Even if it was able to make it onto the roof without making a sound, why didn't they notice it?

As they had been moving forward, the two scouts had made sure to check every part of the cave around them, including the ceiling. So why didn't they notice the creature hiding there until it ambushed them?

But there was no time to think about this as taking care of this creature took priority.

So Team Leader Shen and Master Feng came to the front of the group to face the creature.

When the creature saw them standing there, it revealed a cautious stance as if it could feel the danger that was coming from them. However, when one looked closely, they would see that the creature's eyes were more focused on Master Feng than Team Leader Shen.

Seeing that the creature wasn't making a move, Team Leader Shen said, "You go left and I'll go right. We'll try to catch it off guard from different angles."

Master Feng gave an "un" sound in response before moving away from Team Leader Shen.

The two of them went to opposite sides of the cave before moving towards the creature.

The creature saw this and moved back a step before lowering itself as if it was about to dive forward. However, it just stayed there leaning down as if it was preparing to attack without actually attacking.

Both Team Leader Shen and Master Feng were able to approach the beast without much of a problem.

When they finally came closer to it, they were also finally able to see it properly.

This beast had a body that was unlike any beast that they had seen before. In fact, to put it simply, this beast had a body that was similar to a human's instead of a beast.

This beast was completely covered in black as ink skin and there weren't any defining features other than a few pulsing white veins on its body. The only thing special about it was its face which had two large triangular white eyes and a wide mouth that was filled with sharp teeth that also had a long tongue that was sticking out of it.

But there was no time to think about this since this beast was now within the range of their swords.

Team Leader Shen was the one who charged forward first, but that was only because Master Feng slowed down at the very last second to let him charge in front of him.

Team Leader Shen noticed this out of the corner of his eyes, but it was already too late for him to do anything about it since he was already charging at the beast. So the only thing he could do was swing his sword down as hard as he could at the beast.

But before he could finish that swing, he suddenly felt something hit him from behind.

The force was quite strong and it pushed him right at the beast, causing his swing to miss.

The beast also noticed this and seized this chance to swing its claws out at Team Leader Shen…Right, it wasn't just a single claw that swung out at Team Leader Shen, it was both of them.

Team Leader Shen knitted his brows when this happened, but he was a high grade cultivator, so he wasn't an oil lamp. He was able to twist his body at the very last second and use his sword to block the claws.

But since he had been caught off guard from being pushed from behind, the claws scraped past his sword and still caught his shoulder.

With the force behind the claw, he was sent flying by the graze to the shoulder, sending him into the arms of his subordinates behind him.

However, Team Leader Shen was able to quickly recover since it was only a minor scrape because he had blocked most of the attack.

As soon as he recovered his balance, he immediately looked up at the beast to see what had happened. However, the moment that he looked up, he couldn't help revealing a shocked look.

That was because Master Feng was currently standing right beside the beast and the beast wasn't doing a single thing to him. It was almost as if…they were on the same side!

"Feng Yu Ze, what is the meaning of this!"

He no longer addressed this man as Master Feng because this man had lost all qualifications to be respected as such.

Master Feng just looked at him and shook his head before saying, "Do you still not understand what's happening after seeing all of this? It should be clear what's going on here!"

Team Leader Shen's body jolted when he heard this before he pointed at him and said, "Do you understand what you're doing? Do you really think that the Mercenary Guild will allow you to get away with this?"

Master Feng couldn't help revealing a smile of ridicule when he heard this.

He looked at Team Leader Shen and said, "I never thought that you were this much of an idiot. It should be clear what the situation is just based on what had happened. Do you really think that the Mercenary Guild is on your side?"

Team Leader Shen and the rest of the Mercenary Guild guards all trembled when they heard this.

Team Leader Shen said in a shaky voice, "What, what do you mean by this?"

Master Feng just shook his head again before saying to the beast, "Give them the present that you've prepared for them."

The beast just gave a dumb nod before turning around to head back deeper into the tunnel.

If they had their wits about them and weren't shaken, Team Leader Shen and his group would have recognized that this was the best time to run. However, they were completely shaken and were unsure if there were other things in the cave with them, so they didn't dare make a move.

They just waited until the beast came back with a bunch of things in its hands.

Master Feng waved his hand and the beast threw those things at the feet of Team Leader Shen and the rest of the Mercenary Guild guards.

The Mercenary Guild guards couldn't help taking a step back when those things rolled over, but when they saw what had been thrown, they couldn't help taking a step forward again. They carefully looked at the things on the ground to make sure that their eyes weren't playing tricks on them before they suddenly fell to the ground to pick these things up and held them in their arms.

As they held them, they couldn't stop the tears from falling from their eyes.

That was because what had been thrown were more heads just like the one from before.

However, these heads weren't just normal heads…

These heads were heads that they were familiar with just like the one from before…

That was because these heads were the heads of their family members…Their wives, their children, their parents, their siblings…The head of every single member of their family had been thrown right in front of them.

Even Team Leader Shen couldn't help breaking down when he saw the heads of his wife and his two children being thrown in front of him.

​ All of them broke down immediately and began weeping without a care as they held the heads of their family members.

However, even when they were in this vulnerable state, Master Feng and the beast didn't make a single move. Instead, Master Feng just watched them with a cruel smile on his face as if he was enjoying this.

After a long time, the men of the Team Leader Shen's group slowly came back to their senses and slowly stopped their sobbing. Their eyes were filled with hatred and the desire for revenge as they turned to look at Master Feng.

Team Leader Shen took the lead for his men as he roared out, "Feng Yu Ze, what did you do!? Don't you dare think of having a painless death!"

Master Feng just gave a shrug and said, "Just with you?"

Team Leader Shen's spiritual energy exploded along with his anger when he heard this. Without any regard for his own life, he charged forward at Master Feng and the beast as he shouted, "Men, follow me! We'll take our revenge right now!"

All of the men behind him raised their weapons and also exploded with spiritual energy as they charged along with Team Leader Shen.

All of their spiritual energy gathered around Team Leader Shen as they took a formation that concentrated all their powers on him. He took all of this power and gathered it into a single point that he aimed at Master Feng.

With all of their power gathered together, this was a strike that could even defeat a Ninth Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator. He was certain that this strike would kill Master Feng who was only in the Eighth Qi Gathering Realm.

Even if Master Feng had the beast block this attack for him, Team Leader Shen was still confident that he would be able to kill that beast and then kill Master Feng.

There was nothing that could stop their attack filled with rage at this point.

But it was too bad that there was indeed something that could stop them.

As expected, the beast stood in front of Master Feng and raised its hands to stop Team Leader Shen and his group.

When the two sides collided, there was a moment of balance before Team Leader Shen and his men were pushed back by the force of the beast's claws.

After taking several steps back and finally stabilizing themselves, all of Team Leader Shen's group spat out a mouthful of blood to show that they had suffered internal injuries.

Team Leader Shen looked up at the beast with a shocked look as he realized something. He said in a slow voice, "This beast…it isn't in the Eighth Qi Gathering Realm…It's actually in the Ninth Qi Gathering Realm!"

All of his men looked at the beast as well with looks of shock.

Master Feng revealed a smile of ridicule after hearing this as he said, "It seems like you really still don't understand what's going on."
