Comprehensive Network: The Chosen One Who Started from Speed-farming and Destroying Ashes

Chapter 42 An Inadequate Skull (Two Updates!)
Witnessing all this, Aman Hodgson turned and fled!
He sensed from the stranger the presence of a powerful, mad, and forbidden figure he had seen before…

Damn it, I just borrowed some interest-free and non-repayable loans from the Duke's private treasury.

How did they manage to chase us here? And what kind of monster is this?

But the next moment, Aman Hodgson felt a violent surge of air coming from behind him!

The atmosphere and shadows, in his mind, outlined the opponent's charging posture:
Like a heavy tank that keeps accelerating!

Left with no other choice, Aman Hodgson activated Shadow Shuttle once again.

He narrowly escaped his fate of being crushed.

But the shadow of death is like an undeniable setting sun...

"I know the location of the blasphemers—I swear by my soul and all my wealth!"

Aman Hodgson was unwilling to let the matter end there.

Just a little bit short:
He would pass through the woods ahead, where the wild beasts that had gathered for some unknown reason would help him hold off his pursuers.

The profits from this trip are enough for him to live a life of luxury and debauchery for the rest of his life.

If only he could control his not-so-successful gambling addiction...

But no matter what he does:
Whether it's based on the various secrets he knows, or on the locations where he once hid treasures.

They even threw away all the wealth they had acquired this time.

The other party remained unmoved.

That figure, seemingly gradually being tainted by an invisible crimson power, remained steadfastly anchored to him...

It seems that, to the other party, his death is a treasure that transcends all other values.

This left the soldiers gathered around the wounded squad leader completely bewildered.

Originally, the squad leader's injury had enraged them, leading them to attempt a fight to the death.

But now it seems:
The other party shares the same goal as them, yet it's not entirely the same...

In any case, an individual with great power is always awe-inspiring.

When the other party displays an unusual mental state, that becomes another dimension of deterrence...

"Spare me, and I'll become your servant!"

When the last bit of shadow energy was exhausted, Yi Qingfeng, whose body was soaked in blood, remained as fierce as ever.

Having exhausted his strength to fight any longer, Aman Hodgson could only prostrate himself on the ground and plead.

However, what awaited him was only a strike that did not hesitate!

The Holy Slash!
Beneath the shattered skull, death arrived as expected...

…………

…………

"Network notification: You have killed the hunting target: Aman Hodgson. Rewards will be distributed upon completion of the instance..."

Yi Qingfeng looked at the notification message that was refreshing on his retina.

In a realm beyond the comprehension of ordinary beings, a crimson radiance emanated from the dead Aman Hodgson.

It flowed into Yi Qingfeng's body, healing the wounds he had suffered.

Facing the human remains before him, Yi Qingfeng felt no discomfort whatsoever.

An unqualified skull...

He glanced at Aman Hodgson's skull, shattered beyond recognition by the Holy Slash.

Such a judgment emerged in eyes filled with a faint bloodshot hue.

Then, he looked at the soldiers behind him.

He looked at these young lives with faces so different from his compatriots.

He noticed:
It wasn't a replica; it was covered in mottled marks and even had poorly stitched leather armor.

He sensed their fear and trembling—in the form of gas particles from the material dimension…

A hint of contemplation surfaced in his crimson eyes…

Noticing Yi Qingfeng's actions, the soldiers nervously picked up their weapons.

Even the squad leader, who had been lying on the ground exhausted, forced himself to get up.

Under the calm gaze of those bloodshot eyes, every subtle sound seemed to become incredibly piercing at that moment…

Even swallowing saliva became incredibly difficult. It felt as if the blood in my body had frozen...

Perhaps it wasn't a very long gaze.

Yi Qingfeng finally turned around and began picking through the treasures that Aman Hodgson had scattered all over the ground...

This scene, which was not theoretically solemn or oppressive, kept the soldiers from making the slightest sound.

They simply gripped their weapons tightly.

Let the hand, which had exerted all its strength, gradually turn pale...

It's like watching a lion king eating.

Until Yi Qingfeng left...

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had finally come back to life...

After frantically gathering the remaining treasures on the ground, they looked at each other in bewilderment at the missing parts.

Then, looking at his squad leader behind him, one of the soldiers swallowed hard.
"Boss, you just seemed to be trying to stop a dragon..."

…………

…………

This must be gold, right?

Yi Qingfeng opened his backpack and glanced at the scattered treasures he had picked up from the ground.

He didn't recognize the others, nor did he bother to identify them.

But few people are unfamiliar with gold.

Especially when it exists outside of minerals.

Yi Qingfeng didn't pick up the foreign currency or other items that looked like handicrafts.

Instead, they only picked up what appeared to be gold items and what might be gemstones.

If we need money later, we'll see if we can sell it.

Yi Qingfeng thought to himself.

Soon, he discovered the pride of lions blocking the trade route.

Right now, they are hunting...

A large herd of wild animals resembling Suzuka were intercepted and hunted by a pride of lions.

Due to the surge in numbers.

Not many Suzuka managed to escape.

This may be the crossing point for these Suzuka deer during their migration.

The wind from the distant pass conceals the blood and death beyond the dense undergrowth...

Yi Qingfeng's gaze was fixed on a strong individual in the mountain lion pride, whose physique seemed to have been enhanced with muscle mutation factors.

Greymane Mountain Lion King?
The next moment, the crimson mark anchored the direction of the charge:
Bloodbath, charge!

Like a scarlet chariot, the mountain lions that had no time to dodge were all knocked away!
At this stage, aside from individuals with extremely agile deviations and specific supernatural abilities, there are no exceptions.

The others simply cannot avoid that unstoppable charge!
The Crimson Holy Scripture strips away the damage cap gained from critical hits in the Holy Slash.

In return for this, Yi Qingfeng's Supreme Slash received an extremely powerful additional damage boost.

Even a leader at this stage could very well be killed instantly by the enhanced Holy Slash!
Under the heavy hammer, the Greymane Mountain Lion King roared and fell to the ground!

The devastating trauma caused this once incredibly strong beast to let out a painful wail.

Its rich life force allowed it to escape an immediate death.

But that's all...

The next moment:

Without the slightest pity or hesitation, Yi Qingfeng smashed it to death on the spot with a single blow!

Break through the formation and behead them!
The mountain lion pride, enraged by the death of their leader, were in a frenzy.

Yi Qingfeng did not retreat or detour, but instead held the Silent Judgment in his hand.

bloody battle!
