Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

Click...!

Just as Lu Feng was considering countermeasures, he saw the tall skeleton opposite him suddenly crack open and then spread outwards like a spider web. In just a few breaths, it was completely shattered!

The next moment, a familiar white-haired figure slowly stepped out, then his body trembled slightly, scattering broken bones on the ground. His face was equally cold and stern. "Tch! This bastard surnamed Lu is indeed not easy to deal with...!"

"However, the ultimate victor in this battle will ultimately be me, Xu Tianlong!"

Xu Tianlong's eyes were sinister as he glanced again at Lu Feng, who was covered in blood and weak, and a disdainful sneer appeared on his lips.

Although he failed to kill Lu Feng with his full-force strike, the outcome is now pretty much decided!

After all, he had successfully opened up the Yuanhai Qi field in his body, and the Yuan power in his dantian was as vast as the sea. In addition, the super strong defensive power brought by the Bone Spirit Soul made it difficult for even the power of heavenly lightning to harm him in the slightest!

On the other hand, Lu Feng, who was not far away, only had the Yuan Power cultivation of the seventh level of the Spirit Soul Realm and no Yuan Sea aura to support him. Even if he managed to escape with his life, he would be unable to fight again and would be doomed to die!

"Not only is it indestructible, but it's even impervious to heavenly lightning. Is this the true power of the Bone Spirit Soul...?"

"Tch! No wonder this bastard dared to withstand the power of the lightning tribulation and try to self-destruct against me; so he had this kind of backing...!"

Facing Xu Tianlong's murderous gaze, Lu Feng frowned slightly, inwardly cursing, "Damn it! If this drags on, I'm doomed. It seems the best course of action is to avoid the limelight and retreat..."

Although the Hurricane Spirit Soul he awakened was also one of the legendary spirit souls, and was in no way weaker than Xu Tianlong's Bone Spirit Soul, there is an old saying: "In warfare, although the sharpness of the weapons may be the same, their dimensions may differ."

Right now, Lu Feng and Xu Tianlong are like two equally sharp weapons, except that the latter's cultivation is superior, which is equivalent to the weapon being longer. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for Lu Feng to kill Xu Tianlong despite being of a higher level!

After all, as the old saying goes, "an inch longer, an inch stronger," and Lu Feng is now slightly shorter, so he is naturally at a disadvantage.

"Heh, Lu family brat, looks like you've run into trouble again..."

Just as Lu Feng was filled with despair and about to run away, Gu Canyang's eerie laughter suddenly came from inside the Treasure Basin.

"ancient?"

Startled by the voice, Lu Feng raised an eyebrow again. "I say, you suddenly appearing here, old man, are you here to make fun of this kid again?"

"Hmph, what kind of person do you take me for? Do I look like that kind of person!"

"Uh, I think we can remove the word 'like,' since you are exactly..."

"Alright! Stop being so cheeky!"

Before Lu Feng could finish speaking, Gu Canyang interrupted him awkwardly, "Although Xu Tianlong's strength and cultivation have leaped to the first level of the Yuanhai Realm, and he possesses a Bone Spirit Soul, making his defense almost as impenetrable as an iron turtle, the Soul Devouring Technique I passed on to you is not just for show...!"

"Soul Devouring Technique?"

Lu Feng paused, seemingly puzzled. "That's not right. I remember this technique doesn't have any rank, and it only enhances soul power after cultivation, offering almost no help in combat!"

"Heh, sometimes killing doesn't necessarily require bloodshed..."

Faced with Lu Feng's doubts, Gu Canyang merely stroked his beard and smiled, his tone full of meaning, "Young man of the Lu family, don't forget that compared to the external physical body, the human soul is the most fragile thing, and that is precisely the strength of the Soul Devouring Technique...!"

"The so-called Soul Eater... the soul perishes and the person dies... I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng muttered to himself for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had finally realized something.

"You bastard, die!"

At this moment, Xu Tianlong also leaped forward again, raising his hand and slashing fiercely at Lu Feng's neck. The sharpness of his blade was beyond the reach of ordinary people, clearly intending to decapitate him in one blow, giving the latter no chance to retaliate!

"Soul Devouring Technique, Devour!"

Seeing Xu Tianlong swing his knife at him, Lu Feng's expression changed slightly. He used the last of his strength to sidestep the fatal blow and simultaneously unleashed a palm strike!

Bang! Clang!

Lu Feng's right palm struck Xu Tianlong's vital chest, but failed to injure him in the slightest. Instead, it was blocked by sharp bone spurs, leaving only a shallow palm print.

"Hahahaha! You surnamed Lu, with your meager strength, you dare to dream of breaking through my Bone Spirit Defense? You're simply delusional... Ugh!"

Easily deflecting Lu Feng's counterattack, Xu Tianlong laughed wildly. However, before he could finish speaking, his face turned ashen, his eyes widened in horror, and he let out a shrill scream.

thump!

The next moment, Xu Tianlong's body trembled violently again, and he collapsed to the ground like a limp rag doll. He clutched his left chest tightly with both hands, screaming in agony as he shook violently. His expression was one of extreme pain. "What...what happened...?!"

"You...you bastard! What did you do to me?! Ugh...!"

Xu Tianlong was convulsing violently on the spot, letting out heart-wrenching howls. His face was pale, his veins were bulging, and even his eyeballs looked like they were about to burst. He was completely different from his former arrogant self.

"That was close, I almost died...!"

The moment Xu Tianlong collapsed to the ground, Lu Feng also withdrew his palm and stood up, a trace of lingering fear appearing on his face.

Roar!

As for the left side of Xu Tianlong's chest opposite him, a hideous, invisible soul beast was crawling around.

Click...!

The invisible soul beast suddenly swung its claws and fangs, instantly ripping open Xu Tianlong's chest and tearing out a small piece of his invisible soul. It then devoured the flesh with great relish, letting out a joyful roar.

However, Xu Tianlong couldn't see this bizarre scene at all. He could only feel waves of excruciating pain coming from the left side of his chest, near his heart, as if his soul was being torn apart alive, causing him unbearable pain!

In contrast, Lu Feng remained calm, seemingly already accustomed to it and unsurprised.

This invisible soul beast is derived from the Soul Devouring Technique. Although it cannot harm people, it can devour the souls of others to grow stronger and eventually nourish the cultivator!

In addition, since this invisible soul beast was formed from soul power rather than from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or the dantian energy, it was difficult to detect with the naked eye. Therefore, Xu Tianlong, whose soul power was weak, naturally did not know what had happened.

However, although the Soul Devouring Technique can devour the souls of others, it is not invincible. It also has a weakness: it can only devour the souls of the weak, and has no effect on those with strong soul power!

In other words, Lu Feng's ability to kill Xu Tianlong using the Soul Devouring Technique also involved an element of luck!

After all, although Xu Tianlong's Yuan Power cultivation was not bad, having reached the first level of the Yuan Sea Realm, he was not an alchemist or a weapon forger, so his own Soul Power level was very low, which gave Lu Feng the opportunity to counterattack!

"Xu Tianlong, while your iron shell is indeed very tough, it's still far inferior to my Soul Devouring Technique..."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Lu Feng manipulated the invisible soul beast to devour Xu Tianlong's soul while a disdainful sneer appeared on his lips.

Admittedly, the opponent is indeed powerful. Not only does he possess the Mist Spirit Soul, which can be immune to most physical attacks, but he also wields the Bone Spirit Soul, which is indestructible and even difficult to break with heavenly lightning. He is a pure Xuanwu possessor, and even experts in the Yuanhai Realm would have a headache seeing him, and it would be difficult to break through his defenses!

Unfortunately, the Soul Devouring Technique in Lu Feng's hand was not a physical attack, but a magical attack!

Therefore, no matter how powerful Xu Tianlong's Iron Turtle Shell was, it could not withstand the soul impact of the Soul Devouring Technique, making it almost useless!
