Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Your death is worthwhile for the revival of the Holy Church..."

Despite the middle-aged man's pleas, Zhao Yihu remained with his arms crossed and his face indifferent, clearly showing no intention of making a move.

After all, compared to a rare Heartless Medicine Slave, the group of Lifeless Cultists present were almost insignificant. Even if they died, so be it; they could simply recruit more new cultists in the future.

Pfft...!

The moment the middle-aged man cried for help, the Heartless Medicine Slave launched another attack, and at the same time a pair of sharp bone claws pierced through the man's chest, splashing blood everywhere!

"roar...!"

With a single claw, the middle-aged man was pierced through the heart. The Heartless Medicine Slave let out another roar, then raised his hand and slammed the man's corpse down the cliff.

"What a ruthless guy...!"

Seeing the middle-aged man's corpse thrown off the cliff by the heartless drug slave and instantly shattered to pieces, Qin Ming, who was watching from the sidelines, also felt his eyelids twitch and a deep sense of fear rise in his heart.

"Brother, that Zhao guy is too ruthless! Not only did he feed that inhuman thing, but he even killed his own people. Should we retreat first...?"

Qin Ming turned to look at Jiang Qingtian beside him again, his tone revealing a hint of panic, clearly indicating that he was considering retreating.

After all, Zhao Yihu's strength and cultivation were not bad, having reached the fourth level of the Spirit Soul Realm. Moreover, he currently had a Heartless Medicine Slave by his side to help him. Even though Qingtian Village had a large number of people, they dared not say that they could easily defeat him.

Besides, all the treasures and wealth that the Kong family had collected had already fallen into the hands of Qingtian Village. There was no need for them to linger in the Corpse Burial Valley now, lest things change if they delayed.

"withdraw!"

Jiang Qingtian frowned slightly, then waved his hand and leaped out of the Burial Valley.

"The boss has ordered: Retreat immediately!"

Upon hearing the order, Qin Ming and the bandits of Qingtian Village followed suit and retreated.

Swish!

However, before Qin Ming and the others could get far, a gaunt figure suddenly appeared, blocking their retreat. It was none other than the mindless, heartless drug slave.

"What?!"

With their retreat blocked, Qin Ming and the others' expressions changed slightly, revealing fear.

"roar...!"

With a sharp roar, the Heartless Medicine Slave unleashed his claws like knives, slashing out repeatedly. In the blink of an eye, he had killed several Qingtianzhai bandits on the spot, their blood splattering on the ground.

With a single claw strike, he instantly killed several Qingtianzhai bandits. The next moment, the Heartless Medicine Slave changed targets again, turning his head to rush towards Qin Ming, who was standing to the side. Clearly, he had no distinction between friend and foe, and his mind was filled with endless slaughter!

"Damn it! Why is that thing targeting us again...!"

Seeing that the Heartless Medicine Slave's attack target suddenly turned to him, Qin Ming was also startled. He immediately circulated his Yuan Power to protect himself, and at the same time, he drew the ring-pommel sword from his waist and slashed forward in mid-air.

Clang clang clang...!

The ring-pommel sword slammed into the Heartless Medicine Slave's pair of sharp claws, producing a crisp metallic clang before snapping in two, clearly unable to withstand the impact.

Click!

Then, the remaining power of the Heartless Medicine Slave's claws remained undiminished, shattering Qin Ming's protective Yuan Power as easily as cutting tofu, and simultaneously severing the latter's right arm on the spot.

"ah...!"

With his right arm severed, Qin Ming let out a painful scream, and immediately collapsed to the ground, blood splattering everywhere. At the same time, his head lolled to the side and he completely lost consciousness, his life hanging in the balance.

"Zhao Yihu, how dare you attack my men?!"

Seeing the Heartless Medicine Slave suddenly turn around and attack Qin Ming and the others, Jiang Qingtian, who was standing to the side, also frowned and turned ashen-faced, clearly enraged.

After all, he and Zhao Yihu were still allies on the surface, and the other party's actions were not only breaking the alliance, but also slapping him in the face, showing that he didn't take the leader of Qingtian Village seriously at all!

"Jiang Qingtian, I'm truly sorry, but this Heartless Medicine Slave has just been successfully created, and the medicinal effects within its body are still unstable. Therefore, apart from me, its master, anyone present will be vulnerable to its attacks..."

Faced with Jiang Qingtian's furious questioning, Zhao Yihu merely raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a cold smile, clearly unconcerned.

After all, Jiang Qingtian was only at the first level of the Spirit Soul Realm, while he was a fourth-level expert in the Spirit Soul Realm. Even without the help of the Heartless Medicine Slave, he was not afraid of the other party at all, nor was he afraid of the other party's wrath and revenge.

"roar!"

Just as Jiang Qingtian was furious, all the bandits from Qingtian Village were killed by Wuxin Yaonu. In an instant, the area near the cliff was filled with blood and corpses. Only Kong Dingnan, who was trembling, and Qin Ming, who was lying unconscious on the ground, remained.

"This...this guy is a monster...!"

"No way! I've come this far so many times, I don't want to die here...!"

After glancing at the Heartless Medicine Slave wreaking havoc not far away, Kong Dingnan's face turned ashen, and he immediately turned and ran, clearly displaying a strong will to survive.

"Kill them."

Faced with Kong Dingnan's escape, Zhao Yihu did not stop him. Instead, he turned his gaze to Kong Yi and the others, and at the same time gave orders to Wuxin Yaonu.

After all, Kong Dingnan, that traitor, is no longer of any use to us. It wouldn't hurt to spare his life. Right now, the most urgent task is to deal with Kong Yi and the others.

"roar!"

Under Zhao Yihu's command, the Heartless Medicine Slave changed its target and pounced towards Kong Yi and the others opposite it.

Although it had completely lost its mind, it still obeyed the orders of its master, Zhao Yihu.

This is also one of the characteristics of the Heartless Drug Slave: apart from obeying its master, anyone else will become the target of the Heartless Drug Slave's attack!

"swallow!"

"Young Miss, watch out!"

Seeing the Heartless Medicine Slave rushing towards them, and its first target being Kong Yan, the weakest among them, Kong Yi and the remaining few surviving Kong family guards also changed their expressions slightly and exclaimed in surprise.

Swish!

In an instant, the Heartless Medicine Slave's pair of sharp claws reached Kong Yan's front. Just as the latter's heart meridian was about to be pierced by the claws, a severely injured Kong family guard suddenly lunged forward and used his chest to meet the attack.

Pfft...!

His chest was pierced by sharp claws, and the Kong family guard coughed up blood, his face turning deathly pale.

"M-Young Miss...!"

On his deathbed, the Kong family guard managed to turn his head to look at Kong Yan beside him, and said in a broken voice, "You, you must live on, for, for the future revival of the Kong family...!"

After saying this, the Kong family guard froze, then fell straight down and died instantly.

"No, don't die...!"

Seeing the Kong family guard shield her from a fatal blow with his own body, Kong Yan was filled with grief and indignation, her eyes brimming with tears. Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, as if she were on the verge of collapse.

Tweet!

Just as Wuxin Yaonu was about to make another move, a sharp eagle cry came from afar, and the next moment a gray-robed figure appeared out of thin air, throwing a punch at the same time.

Boom!

A massive surge of Yuan energy erupted, instantly transforming into an incredibly powerful Gara Fist Force. The afterimage of the Golden Feathered Eagle Beast could be faintly seen within it, its power approaching that of a near-eighth-grade martial art. In an instant, it sent the Heartless Medicine Slave flying backward with a single punch!

"Um?"

The sudden change caused Zhao Yihu to raise an eyebrow, then turn to look in the direction of the attacker, a hint of surprise on his face. "This aura is from the tenth level of the Opening Meridian Realm? How is that possible...!"

"Phew, thank goodness I made it in time...!"

After smashing the heartless drug slave away with a punch, Lu Feng twisted his wrist and tiger's mouth, then let out a long sigh.

"You, you're Brother Lu?!"

"Brother Lu Feng!"

With the crisis averted, Kong Yi's expression changed slightly as he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar young figure before him. Even Kong Yan, standing beside him, was astonished and filled with disbelief.

After all, they were currently in the heart of the Burial Valley, surrounded by enemies, and their chances of survival were slim. They never expected that Lu Feng, whom they had met once before, would suddenly appear to save them.

"Brother Kong Yi, Little Swallow, are you both alright?"

Looking back at the badly injured Kong siblings behind him, Lu Feng grinned, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Don't worry, leave the rest to me. I guarantee none of these guys will escape..."
