Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 179 This name sounds familiar...
He instinctively pulled out the red Dettol chalice from his waist, trying to ingest some Dettol to treat his injuries, only to find that the bottle was already empty and not a single drop could be poured out.

He then quickly pulled out the Blue Drip Holy Grail bottle, and did the same thing.

It seems that during the chases and skirmishes that just broke out, his supplies were completely depleted due to his unrestrained use of them!
Damn invading spirits, of all times!
Lu Mingfei angrily hung the red and blue Dettol Holy Grail bottle back on his waist, gripped the weapons in his hands tightly, tensed all his muscles, and activated his "sensing" to the maximum, trying to find the intruder.

Soon, Lu Mingfei knew that he no longer needed to search.

Because the person who came had no intention of concealing their whereabouts.

With the splashing sound of rushing water, a red figure appeared in Lu Mingfei's field of vision and rushed towards him at high speed!

The newcomer wore a long cotton dress, carried only a curved knife, and wore leather boots that rippled through the swamp, revealing a scarlet, decaying substance.

Lu Mingfei breathed a slight sigh of relief.

What? Another crazy woman like Anastasia. Trying to challenge a fully armored knight without even wearing armor? Isn't that incredibly arrogant?

Let me, Xiao Lu, teach you the true way to survive in this border region.
Just as Lu Mingfei was thinking this, the astonishing scene before him made his pupils shrink sharply!
The girl's heart sank, her toes barely touched the mud, and then, as if wings had sprouted from her back, she leaped into the air!

That speed was so fast that it was something Lu Mingfei had never seen before. In his memory, only Jin Mu could possibly match it!

In a state of panic, Lu Mingfei's body reacted faster than his brain. He quickly raised his arms and crossed the two greatswords in front of him to block the attack.

However, Lu Mingfei's hastily constructed defensive stance was completely torn apart the moment Millison landed!

Her swordplay was as swift as a storm, and the curved blade in her hand swung out several times in an instant, as if she had activated "Word of Power - Moment," unleashing a chaotic dance of meteors chasing the moon!
"Clang! Clang clang clang clang—!!"

A dense, metallic clanging sound exploded in an instant, sparks flying everywhere.

Millison's figure almost transformed into a blurry red whirlwind.

Her seemingly ordinary scimitar possessed an incredible vitality in her hands, and the speed at which she swung her arm was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

A passage suddenly popped into Lu Mingfei's mind:
"The blind swordsman, wielding the sword given to him by the fairy, moved like flowing water. He danced! His figure weaved, spun, and leaped through the torrent of destruction. The goddess's rain of swords chased after him madly, but always lagged behind, unable to touch the reality of that 'dance'."

Although the person in front of him was by no means a blind swordsman, Lu Mingfei understood the "intention" contained in this swordsmanship.

“This is,” Lu Mingfei murmured, “the flowing swordsmanship.”

"You actually encountered a native invading spirit like that? Lu, your luck is truly exceptionally bad."

Natsuki Subaru patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, but the smile in his dead fish eyes couldn't be suppressed, and he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Laugh all you want," Lu Mingfei glared at him irritably, muttering, "Everyone has their down days. Maybe I'm just having a run of bad luck lately. I'll ask Mr. Colin, the Great Blesser, if he has any good luck-changing rituals."

“Two-Fingers doesn’t care about any of that,” Subaru grinned. “He only guides us. As for whether the road ahead is one of life or death, good or bad, that’s up to us.”

“Speaking of which,” Lu Mingfei sat up straight, “you’ve been in Galid for so long, how come you don’t know anything? Could it be…?”

He cast a questioning look at Subaru Natsuki:

"Do you spend most of your time sleeping in the Great Blessing?"

Upon hearing this, Natsuki Subaru froze for a moment, then became furious and embarrassed:
"Because I spent most of my time in that damned Divine Tower! If Kaneki hadn't been chasing me like a madman, I would never have ended up in a place like that!!! When the Crimson Spirit invaded, I couldn't even sit in the Blessing position!!"

“Then you might as well just let him kill you,” Lu Mingfei said bluntly. “Anyway, you can be resurrected. At worst, you’ll just be robbed of a corner of the road.”

"Uh"

Natsuki Subaru scratched his head:
"Because I hadn't figured out the mechanism of resurrection after death at the time, you know, I also have that ability in real life."

He waved his hand, as if shooing away flies, trying to banish these chaotic thoughts: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You said you were looking for something called 'Pure Golden Needle'?"

“Yes,” Lu Mingfei nodded, “As long as we can find this golden needle, we won’t have to search for Red Lion City and the Great Dragon Church anymore.”

Do you know where this thing is?

"do not know."

Subaru Natsuki answered decisively.

"What are you talking about?"

Before Lu Mingfei could finish speaking, Natsuki Subaru crossed his arms, closed his eyes slightly, and struck a smug, punchable pose:
"Hmph, but I know where I might find it."

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened instantly, and he stood up abruptly:
"real!"

"Hey, hey, don't get so worked up."

Natsuki Subaru hurriedly explained:

"Maybe, just maybe."

Lu Mingfei then slowly sat down.

"That was a long time ago."

Natsuki Subaru scratched his head, his eyes unfocused, his consciousness seemingly immersed in his own memories:
"At the time, I accidentally entered the Ionian Swamp from the east, then lost my way and stumbled my way to the central area."

"How many times have you gotten lost, you idiot?"

Lu Mingfei complained.

“That’s not important,” Natsuki Subaru waved his hand again. “What’s important is that I ran into a really strong guy there.”

"As soon as I got close, he started waving his military flag indiscriminately, summoning a bunch of exiled soldiers to attack me, but he didn't chase me. It seemed he just wanted to drive me away from that area."

Thinking about it now, it seems like that guy was guarding something. If the 'pure golden needles' you mentioned are very precious, then it's most likely this thing.

“It shouldn’t be some common stuff,” Lu Mingfei thought to himself, “After all, Crimson Corruption is something even demigods can’t deal with, but the Golden Needles can suppress it.”
What does he look like? What's his name?

Natsuki Subaru lowered his head in deep thought:

"Hmm, it's been too long. I only remember him wearing heavy silver armor, a thick white fur cloak, and waving a huge red military flag."

Silver heavy armor?
Lu Mingfei was slightly taken aback. Could it be...?
No, how could that be? It's probably just a coincidence.

Lu Mingfei shook his head, denying what he had in mind.

"As for the name..."

Natsuki Subaru's brows were tightly furrowed, as if he were recalling the words that had surfaced in his mind that day:
"His name seems to be... Veteran O. Something like that?"

"O'Neal?!?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly stood up and blurted out a name.
