Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"A vast expanse of ice!"

Realizing his presence had been discovered, Lu Feng didn't hesitate and immediately swung out his Ice Shield Axe.

Boom! Crack...!

In an instant, the axe blade pierced the air, splashing blood as it fell.

thump...!

The next moment, this henchman from the villainous stronghold also had his head fall to the ground, and he was dead beyond any doubt!

"What's going on?!"

"There seems to be some movement down in the cellar...!"

"This smell...it smells like human blood!"

"Could it be that someone has mistakenly trespassed into the forbidden area?"

As Lu Feng made his move, the gang of villains who were drinking and making merry in the tavern were also alerted and rushed toward the entrance of the cellar.

After all, this cellar was not only a "pleasure garden" used to imprison young female slaves, but also one of the most well-known forbidden areas in the village, especially the last two cells, which ordinary villagers could not approach.

Now that such a commotion had suddenly broken out in the forbidden cellar, and even that someone had died, the henchmen of the villainous stronghold naturally couldn't sit still and immediately came over.

"Young Master Lu, it seems the enemies outside have all been alerted. I'll leave this place to you from now on..."

Seeing this, Gu Canyang habitually disappeared into the treasure basin, while leaving Lu Feng with a word of advice.

After all, it is currently just a mere artifact spirit, and a remnant soul, with virtually no combat power.

Moreover, with Lu Feng's current cultivation level, dealing with a bunch of villains from the bandit stronghold would be a piece of cake, and there's no need for the old monster Gu Canyang to personally take action.

"Looks like I still can't avoid taking action... Oh well."

Retracting his Ice Shield Axe, Lu Feng wiped the bloodstains from the blade, then a fierce glint appeared in his eyes. "Since that's the case, then let the heads of you wicked beasts from the village be used to appease those innocent women who died..."

Lu Feng originally planned to destroy the insect nest quietly and then slowly search for the location of the facehugger mother, so as not to alert the two leaders of the Evil Man's Village.

However, plans can't keep up with changes.

Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, Lu Feng is no longer bothered to hide them.

"Who dares to trespass into the forbidden cellar!"

"Hey kid, where did you snuck in from?!"

"Stop him! Don't let that kid get away!"

In just a few breaths, a large number of villains from the Evil Village poured in from the cellar entrance and surrounded Lu Feng in the cell, making it impossible for him to get through.

Not only that, but the other cells holding young female slaves were also alarmed, and dozens of henchmen rushed out, each wielding a weapon and exuding murderous intent.

In an instant, the originally narrow cellar passage was filled with people.

Looking around, there were at least a hundred henchmen from the villainous stronghold surrounding Lu Feng, including some minor leaders at the first level of the Yuanhai Realm. Clearly, they had come out in full force and did not intend to let him leave alive.

"Are we surrounded?"

Seeing himself surrounded, Lu Feng merely smiled coldly, showing no panic whatsoever. At the same time, he swung his Ice Shield Axe again, "Hmph, a bunch of ants, trying to stop me!"

Rumble...!

A massive amount of Yuan energy burst forth from the Extreme Ice Shield Axe, instantly transforming into hundreds of powerful ice crystal axe beams, each carrying a wisp of deadly cold air. In the blink of an eye, these villainous bandits were frozen into human-shaped ice sculptures!

"die!"

With a single axe strike, Lu Feng froze many of the villains' henchmen. He then raised his hand and swung his Extreme Ice Shield Axe, sweeping away the villains like autumn leaves in the wind. Instantly, he beheaded these villains who had been turned into human-shaped ice sculptures, and blood splattered all over the ground!

"What?!"

"This person's cultivation level is actually at the eighth level of the Yuanhai Realm...!"

"How is this possible?!"

"Just who is this person...!"

Seeing Lu Feng easily kill many henchmen of the villainous stronghold with a single axe stroke, the faces of some Yuanhai Realm minor leaders who had managed to escape also changed drastically, their eyes filled with horror.

After all, their cultivation had already reached the Yuanhai Realm level. Although they were far inferior to Lu Feng, who was at the sixth level of the Yuanhai Realm, they could still sense the terrifying Yuan Power aura emanating from him!

"And then there are you all...!"

With another telekinetic pull, Lu Feng retrieved the Ice Shield Axe into his palm. He turned to look at the few surviving Yuanhai Realm leaders beside him, his killing intent undiminished. "Soul Devouring Technique, Devour!"

However, this time Lu Feng did not cut off the heads of these Yuanhai Realm minor leaders. Instead, he used the Soul Devouring Technique on the spot to devour their souls and strengthen himself.

After all, the power of the Soul Devouring Technique is never about killing, but about devouring and suppressing the enemy's soul, thereby making one's own soul power stronger!

For Lu Feng right now, absorbing the souls of a hundred henchmen from the Evil Village is far less effective than absorbing the soul of a Yuanhai Realm expert, so he won't waste this opportunity.

Thump...! Thump...!

Their soul power was instantly drained by Lu Feng, and the eyes of these Yuanhai Realm leaders also became unfocused. The next moment, they all collapsed to the ground, spitting out blood and foam, and then became completely still.

After all, even a powerful expert in the Yuanhai Realm will only be left with an empty shell of a body once their soul power is drained. Even if they don't die, they will be like a vegetable and won't live for long.

"Tsk, my soul power has increased by another third, and my soul power cultivation is only one step away from breaking through to the Lesser Grandmaster realm... Not bad!"

After absorbing the souls of these minor leaders at the Yuanhai Realm, Lu Feng licked his dry lips, then retracted his Extreme Ice Shield Axe and simultaneously deactivated the Spirit Serpent Transformation Technique on his body.

Swish!

As the Spirit Serpent Transformation Dragon Technique was dispelled, Lu Feng's eerie snake eyes returned to normal, the lines at the corners of his eyes gradually dimmed, and his Yuan Power aura slowly decreased until he finally fell to the sixth level of the Yuan Sea Realm.

Clearly, given Lu Feng's current mastery of the Spirit Serpent Transformation Technique, he cannot maintain this state for long.

Moreover, Lu Feng has only just mastered the first level of the Spirit Serpent Transformation Dragon Technique, and is still far from the tenth level of the Great Perfection realm!

"Young Master Lu, you've got it done so quickly? Not bad at all..."

Just as Lu Feng annihilated the bandits of the Villain Stronghold, Gu Canyang also appeared, then stroked his beard and smiled, "Hehe, what are you planning to do next, kid? Are you going to leave Villain Stronghold directly, or continue searching for the Facehugger Mother?"

"Of course, the latter!"

Lu Feng replied almost without hesitation, "Besides, there's still no trace of Bai Qianqian, and we can't sense her presence here either; it's as if she's vanished into thin air...!"

"So what?"

Seeing this, Gu Canyang said with a hint of mockery, "She's just a stranger I met by chance, you don't need to be so hung up on her, do you?"

"Thinking about her? How could that be!"

"Kid, I'm not some sex-crazed human stud...!"

Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then said with a dark expression, "Putting aside Bai Qianqian's past sabotage, this woman's background is definitely not simple..."

"And for some reason, I have a feeling that these facehuggers of unknown origin are very likely related to that woman, Bai Qianqian...!"
