Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Faced with Huo Xie's sudden attack, Lu Feng did not retreat at all, and thrust out his Bloodthirsty Spear just as fiercely.

Clang! Clang!

Two loud clashing sounds of weapons rang out, and the next moment a huge shockwave of Yuan energy swept out, engulfing the entire official road within a radius of several hundred meters, turning everything into a mess!

"What?!"

Feeling a powerful, profound energy emanating from the point where the blades clashed, almost destroying his entire right palm, Huo Xie's expression changed drastically, as if facing a formidable enemy!

"Such a powerful aura of Yuan energy! This child has truly only recently broken through to the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm...?!"

Lu Feng in front of him was clearly only at the first level of the Meridian Opening Realm, yet his total amount and strength of Yuan Power were no less than those of Lu Feng, a fifth-level expert in the Meridian Opening Realm!

"That's impossible!"

The thought had just crossed Huo Xie's mind when he quickly dismissed it.

After all, he was a dignified expert at the fifth level of the Qi Opening Realm. Now, in the most basic battle of Yuan Power, he had actually fought to a draw with Lu Feng, an unknown junior. Naturally, he found it hard to accept!

"You wicked monk, today is your death day!"

Lu Feng's cold, icy voice rang in my ears once more.

bass!

The next moment, the Bloodthirsty Spear tip flew through the air like a blood-red thread, stirring up a chilling, foul wind, and immediately pierced Huo Xie's chest and heart meridian. Its speed was like a whirlwind and lightning, and even a fifth-level expert in the Opening Meridian Realm would find it difficult to dodge!

Divine Avatar Technique!

Seeing the Bloodthirsty Spear instantly approaching him, Huo Xie dared not be careless. He immediately chanted an incantation, and a large amount of Yuan Power swept out. Then, he transformed into a dark ghost shadow and retreated, barely avoiding the fatal blow.

"go!"

Seeing that his attack had missed, Lu Feng did not panic. He simply turned his right hand into a sword finger and pointed again from a distance, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor throughout.

Buzz! Whoosh!

Seemingly sensing Lu Feng's guidance, the Bloodthirsty Spear suddenly made a sharp turn in mid-air and then thrust fiercely towards the ghostly figure that Huo Xie had transformed into, its speed increasing even more!

"ah...!"

With a piercing scream, the dark shadow crashed to the ground, revealing its true form.

"You little beast, how dare you hurt me...!"

Huo Xie's face was deathly pale. His clothes were tattered and covered in blood and filth. A horrifying, bloody wound was exposed on his left shoulder, revealing glints of spear light and stark white bone. He was rooted to the spot and unable to move.

Moreover, what terrified Huo Xie even more was that the Bloodthirsty Spear was rapidly devouring the essence blood in his body, while simultaneously trembling uncontrollably, as if it were a living being that had developed sentience, which was extremely bizarre!

"What's going on? My vital essence is rapidly draining away, and I can't mobilize the energy in my dantian...?!"

Sensing the abnormalities emanating from his body, Huo Xie's face turned deathly pale with fear, his former arrogance completely gone.

If this trend continues, even if Lu Feng doesn't make a move, at most in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he will be sucked dry by the Bloodthirsty Gun, and his fate will undoubtedly be even more miserable!

"I was no match for you back then, but you were too overconfident, which is why you missed your chance."

Lu Feng glanced at Huo Xie, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move by the Bloodthirsty Gun, and stood with his hands behind his back, his face unusually indifferent. "I have to say, you have nothing but lust in your mind. You are a complete idiot and have wasted your cultivation."

Back inside the Zhongwang Tomb ruins, the opponent could have easily killed him when he was weak, but Huo Xie had a strange nature and insisted on using the Divine Avatar Technique to take over his body, which instead gave Lu Feng a good opportunity to counterattack.

After missing this golden opportunity, Huo Xie never had another chance to kill Lu Feng, because the latter's strength was now completely different from before, and even three Huo Xies together would not be a match for him!

"Pfft!"

Seeing his former defeated foe now stepping on his head and acting like a superior master, Huo Xie was consumed by rage. He coughed up blood and became increasingly deranged, screaming, "Aaaaaah! You little beast, how could you have such an opportunity? This is impossible!"

"This is just your lucky break. If it happened again... no! Ten times, a hundred times, I could kill you as easily as slaughtering a chicken or a dog. How could I allow you, you little beast, to be so arrogant here...!"

Huo Xie cursed repeatedly, as if in his final struggle before death, his eyes filled with hatred and rage as he looked at Lu Feng.

"You wicked monk, your death by my hand today is not accidental, but inevitable!"

Ignoring Huo Xie's angry curses, Lu Feng fired another sword-finger strike, "Die!"

tumultuous!

As the sword pointed out, Yuan Power surged forth, transforming into a blazing spiritual flame that instantly engulfed Huo Xie on the spot, turning him into scorched earth, where he was utterly dead and his life was extinguished!

"I didn't expect this guy to be so strong; it made me spend a little more time on him."

Slowly retracting his sword finger, Lu Feng pondered for a moment. "However, the dragon breath generated by finger force is not weak at all, which will make it more convenient for me in the future."

With his Yuanli cultivation breaking through to the first level of the Opening Meridian Realm and his Panlong Breath Technique reaching perfection, Lu Feng is now more skilled at using "Dragon Breath" and no longer needs to open his mouth to breathe fire as before.

Lu Feng can infuse his Yuan Power into any part of his body, whether it's his fist, palm, fingers, legs, or even any organ, and then make it breathe fire to produce "dragon breath," making him comparable to a humanoid self-propelled fire dragon!

"The Corpse-Drawing Transformation Technique!"

Seemingly remembering something, Lu Feng glanced again at Huo Xie, who had turned into a charred corpse on the ground, and then stretched out his palm again. His Yuan Power surged out instantly, mixed with wisps of black energy, and enveloped the latter.

hum!

Huo Xie's corpse slowly shrank and transformed into a ball of Yuan energy essence, as if all impurities had been removed. The next moment, it was fed back into Lu Feng's body, which was quite strange!

"I never imagined that charred corpses could be absorbed and refined. Does that mean I can become stronger just by absorbing the essence and blood left behind by corpses? The 'Corpse-Drawing Essence Technique' personally improved by Senior Liu You is truly amazing!"

Feeling his dantian becoming much fuller, and knowing that his next breakthrough was not far off, Lu Feng couldn't help but smile slightly. "However, this move is against the natural order, and it's also a unique technique of the Ten Thousand Corpse Demon Sect."

"As Senior Liu once mentioned, the Ten Thousand Corpse Demon Sect from the Western Xuan Region of the continent has always been despised by the Central Xuan Region and other righteous sects. It is a demonic sect that everyone hates. I must be careful in the future to avoid leaks and suffering the same fate as Senior Liu..."

Thinking of this, Lu Feng immediately withdrew his right palm, his heart filled with countless emotions.

Although he was still young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, he was a seasoned veteran who had been in the business for many years and naturally understood the principle of "not flaunting wealth".

While the Corpse-Drawing Transformation Technique is convenient and easy to use, it must be used with caution, especially not exposed to outsiders, otherwise it will surely bring disaster upon Lu Feng!

"Huh, what's this thing again?"

Picking up the storage ring left behind by Huo Xie on the ground, Lu Feng circulated his Yuan Power to examine it internally. The next moment, however, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing surprise.

The storage ring left behind by the other party is of good quality; it is a high-grade storage ring with a huge internal space, comparable to a complete martial arts arena, enough to hold a lot of things. Huo Xie also left behind a lot of treasures and spirit stones, including at least 200,000 low-grade spirit stones!

However, Lu Feng's attention was not on that, but on a tattered, yellowed map.

The map fragment was only about the size of a palm, covered in dust and stains. The writing and patterns were no longer legible, except for a star-shaped pattern in the upper left corner and several crosses next to it, somewhat resembling a treasure map.

"This is... a map? No, what's depicted on this map looks like stars in the sky...?"

Holding the map fragment in his palm, Lu Feng examined it with growing suspicion.

This item showed no spiritual energy whatsoever; it was merely an ordinary fragment of a map, with incomplete writing and patterns. Yet, it was still treasured by Huo Xie in his lifetime and placed in the most conspicuous spot in his storage ring, which was quite strange!
