Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Who goes there?!"

Jiang Beihai felt a death threat approaching and instinctively turned to look behind him.

puff!

Before Jiang Beihai could react, a sharp Buddhist knife pierced his chest and vital organs, then emerged through his heart, splattering blood everywhere!

"Ugh...!"

With a knife piercing his heart, Jiang Beihai let out a scream before collapsing to the ground, his face turning deathly pale!

"You, you are... Huo Xie, the lecherous monk ranked twelfth on the list of villains?!"

Struggling to look up at the person who had attacked him, Jiang Beihai's pupils constricted sharply in the next moment, revealing a trace of fear.

The other party held a Buddhist knife in his left hand and stood with his right hand in front of his chest, looking like an ascetic monk chanting scriptures and praying to Buddha. However, his scarred face revealed a ferocious smile. He was none other than Huo Xie, the "lewd monk" who had fought against Lu Feng in the past!

Although his cultivation has greatly increased to the third level of the Meridian Opening Realm and he has also comprehended the Small City Blade Intent, his strength has increased significantly. However, Huo Xie in front of him is no pushover either, as his Yuan Power cultivation and combat experience are both superior to his!

Moreover, Jiang Beihai is currently severely injured and is no match for Huo Xie!

"Hehehe, it seems my reputation in the martial arts world has been growing in recent years. Even a veteran master like Sect Leader Jiang recognizes my name. That's truly remarkable..."

Seeing that the other party recognized him, Huo Xie merely raised the corners of his mouth, his smile unchanged. "It's a pity that Sect Master Jiang's life will probably end here today. As for the treasures on your body, they will naturally all belong to this humble Daoist, hehehe."

"Huo Xie, I have no grudge against you, why do you... Ah!"

Suppressing the sharp pain in his chest, Jiang Beihai tried to struggle to his feet, but was slashed to the ground by Huo Xie, letting out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

bass!

Click!

Seemingly determined to kill, Huo Xie didn't waste any more words with Jiang Beihai. He immediately raised his hand and slashed out with his sword, finishing off the opponent completely. Blood instantly stained the ground beneath his feet.

"People like us who practice martial arts and cultivate immortality are not some pedantic Confucian scholars spouting benevolence and morality. What reason do we need to kill and rob? Fools!"

Glancing at Jiang Beihai's headless corpse at his feet, Huo Xie slowly sheathed his Buddhist sword, then pocketed the storage ring left on the body. His expression remained ferocious. "Hehehe, I originally intended to ambush that little bastard surnamed Lu here, but I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain..."

"As for this guy, he was the leader of the Beihai Blade Sect, a near-eighth-rank power, and now he's escaped unscathed from the Zhongwang Tomb ruins. He probably has quite a few treasures looted from his body!"

"Hmm? Another idiot coming to his death...."

Seemingly sensing something, Huo Xie turned his head again to look in the direction of the dense forest behind him, a sinister look appearing on his face.

tumultuous!

Regaining his composure, Huo Xie flipped his right palm outward, and a surge of Yuan energy and spiritual fire instantly rose up, burning Jiang Beihai's headless corpse on the ground to ashes.

Swish!

The next moment, Huo Xie's entire figure slowly became transparent and distorted, and then he turned into a dark shadow and disappeared as if he had never existed.

...

Outside the official road of Wuping County, there was a vast, dense forest.

Shh...!

Another slight rustling sound came.

"I didn't expect the exits of the Loyal King's Tomb site to be so numerous and complicated; I almost got lost...!"

The next moment, a figure in a gray robe flew out from the tomb and landed steadily. At the same time, he dispersed a pair of Yuan Power wings behind him. It was Lu Feng, who had been in seclusion for many days and had just emerged from the tomb.

"Isn't this Lin Family Village...?"

Looking around, Lu Feng found the surroundings somewhat unfamiliar. He habitually touched his chin, as if pondering his next move.

bass!

Just as Lu Feng was stunned, a strange black shadow suddenly attacked from the side, aiming straight for his vital point, exuding a strong killing intent!

Clang clang clang...!

The attack came suddenly, and Lu Feng was also startled. He subconsciously drew his sword and slashed back, immediately repelling the attacking black shadow with a series of cracking sounds of weapons clashing.

Bang!

The dark shadow crashed heavily to the ground with a dull thud. It was a short-handled Buddhist knife that was entirely black and had a sharp edge. Moreover, it was made of excellent material and was inlaid with a high-grade Xuan-level demon core. In terms of power, it was comparable to a fourth-grade spiritual treasure!

"This surge of Yuan energy is... at the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm?"

A slightly surprised, gloomy voice drifted over.

The next moment, Lu Feng also took advantage of the situation to retreat, his body landing steadily behind the dense forest. At the same time, the Yuan Power in his Dantian was released outwards without reservation, as if he were in a posture of preparing for battle.

"Looks like you little rascal have gotten quite a few good opportunities these past few days running around the Zhongwang Tomb ruins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar, thin figure appeared out of thin air. At this moment, a cold smile was on his scarred face, which made Lu Feng's eyes narrow slightly and a sense of apprehension appear on his face.

"You little beast, I've finally caught you!"

Huo Xie grinned, his gaze fixed intently on Lu Feng, who was not far away, as if he had some deep-seated grudge against the latter and could not quell his anger unless he tore him to pieces.

After all, he was tricked by Lu Feng at the site of the Loyal King's Tomb. Not only did he lose his sure goal, but his consciousness and soul were also severely impacted, and he almost fell from his cultivation level!

In order to repair his damaged consciousness and soul, Huo Xie had to hide and spend more than half a month before he could barely recover to his former strength.

"It's you again, you wicked monk!"

Upon discovering that the person who had ambushed him was Huo Xie, Lu Feng was not surprised at all, and anger also appeared on his face.

Not only did the other party drug him and control his body to commit lewd acts, but they also almost defiled Ren Xuanfei's purity. They can be described as the ultimate old lecher!

Lu Feng had not forgotten, nor dared to forget, the evil deeds committed by Huo Xie.

"This humble monk thought you had long since died in the ruins of the Loyal King's tomb, but I never expected you, you little beast, to have survived!"

Huo Xie snorted coldly, then flicked his hand to the side, absorbing the Buddhist knife on the ground into his palm. His killing intent was fully revealed. "Very well, now that you've come to your death, then leave your life behind!"

"Is that so? So you old bald monk with a head full of lewd thoughts about women have been waiting here for me all along..."

Faced with Huo Xie's overwhelming killing intent, Lu Feng showed no panic whatsoever. He also swung his Bloodthirsty Spear forward, the tip pointing directly at Huo Xie. "However, it's hard to say who is courting death...!"

If it were half a month ago, he might still have been somewhat afraid of Huo Xie, but now, having received personal instruction from Prince Zhong, Feng Yunnan, and Liu Youzhi, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Corpse Demon Sect, Lu Feng's strength has already advanced by leaps and bounds and is incomparable to what it was before!

Therefore, even when facing Huo Xie, a veteran expert at the fifth level of the Qi Opening Realm, Lu Feng showed no fear and remained calm and composed!

"How arrogant!"

Seeing that Lu Feng not only wasn't afraid of him but also dared to utter arrogant words, Huo Xie's face turned ashen. He immediately flew into a rage, like a bull that had been provoked, shouting, "If this humble monk hadn't been careless last time, how could you, you little beast, have escaped so easily?!"

"You little bastard, you won't be so lucky this time!"

"Prepare to die!"

With another roar, Huo Xie vanished from his spot and launched a fierce attack on Lu Feng opposite him, his blade aimed directly at the latter's vital points, clearly showing his determination to kill!
