Chapter 40 [Earthly Fiend Tribulation] A Fierce Battle in Jiangzhou City

The cold moonlight streamed down from the cracks in the cave ceiling that Lu Qingfeng had blasted open, illuminating the mess on the ground.

Lu Qingfeng stood in the center of the ruins, and the massive aura surging around him slowly subsided.

The fusion of the powers of the two lifetimes brings complete control and unprecedented strength.

At this moment, Lu Qingfeng's strength surged dramatically, becoming ten to nine times stronger than ever before. Who could withstand such terrifying power?

No! Absolutely not!

"The Yin Luo Path! The Evil Suppression Division!"

He glanced at the pile of mutated flesh that had completely lost its vitality on the ground, and the broken magical artifacts scattered in the corner.

The aura clinging to these remnants subtly echoed the other chilling spots he sensed.

Two of them, in a dark alley not far away in the west of the city, seemed to be... alone.

Without the slightest hesitation, the ground beneath his feet exploded!

He transformed into a streak of azure light that tore through the rain, heading towards the two figures!

After several twists and turns, Lu Qingfeng arrived at the backyard of what appeared to be an abandoned dye house.

He saw a simple illusion array set up in the courtyard, but it was useless to him at this moment.

In the backyard, the Yinluo Dao Master was discussing the next task with his trusted confidants:

"..."

"I feel that the arrangement in the south of the city isn't secure enough. Go quickly and activate the backup altar to move the corpse."

"Yes! The Dao Lord is wise!"

The confidant accepted the task assigned by the Daoist Master and got up to leave.

Just as he turned around!

laugh!

A condensed, almost tangible, cyan-red sword aura pierced through the outer wall of the dye shop without warning, precisely penetrating his back!

The violent power contained in the sword energy instantly shattered his heart meridian. His confidant collapsed to the ground, dead, before he could even scream.

"Who?!"

The Dao Lord was horrified and retreated violently, his body surging with black energy that transformed into several ferocious ghost-headed shields protecting him.

Lu Qingfeng's figure slowly emerged from the shadows outside the wall, his Qingfeng sword pointing diagonally at the ground, a drop of dirty blood slowly sliding down from the tip.

"The one who killed you."

Before he finished speaking, he had already vanished from the spot!

The Dao Lord's pupils constricted sharply, and with a fierce roar, he bit his tongue, spitting out a cloud of foul blood.

From within the blood mist, countless twisted vengeful spirits shrieked and lunged out. At the same time, a string of jet-black bone beads flew out from his sleeve, growing longer in the wind and transforming into nine skeletons with green flames burning in their eye sockets, forming an array to block his way!

This is his trump card, a deadly evil technique to save his life: the Hundred Souls Devouring Heart and the Nine Sons Yin Demon Formation!

Faced with this sinister and terrifying scene, Lu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged.

"Unorthodox methods".

His protective aura hummed and vibrated, and the vengeful spirits that rushed towards him crashed into the aura membrane, melting away with screams like ice and snow meeting boiling oil.

At the same time, he held his sword in his right hand, and the Qingfeng sword transformed into a streak of light, piercing straight into the eye of the formation!

Piercing the moon!

This sword strike has no fancy moves, only ultimate penetration!

The condensed energy at the tip of the sword tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek, and the two skeletons that were first to be hit were instantly pierced through!

But the remaining seven had already surrounded him fearlessly, their bone claws, carrying a foul stench, reaching for Lu Qingfeng's vital points.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Dao Lord quickly formed hand seals, and black water seeped from the ground. A tentacle formed from Yin energy suddenly wrapped around Lu Qingfeng's ankle!

Lu Qingfeng was not afraid at all; such a weak attack could not possibly break through his steel body.

The only slightly troublesome thing is the tentacles...

Lu Qingfeng raised his foot, and with immense power, he crushed it instantly, leaving behind circular pits in the ground.

His sword had already drawn a perfect arc of light!

Eat my gentle breeze and swaying willows, oh my!

After its upgrade, the Azure Edge Sword's three-foot-long azure light surged, and its sword energy swept across like a wheel, slicing the remaining seven skeletons in half at the waist, and the green flames were instantly extinguished!

"impossible!"

The Dao Lord was utterly horrified. In just a few exchanges, the Yin Magic Array he had painstakingly crafted was utterly destroyed!

He turned to flee, but found that the air around him seemed to have solidified, and an invisible aura had locked him in place, as if he were trapped in a quagmire.

"it's over."

puff!

The sword's edge pierced through the protective black aura, slicing across the Dao Lord's neck, and a head wrapped in a black robe shot into the sky!

The pair of ghostly green soul flames dimmed instantly and eventually went out completely.

The headless corpse swayed twice, then collapsed to the ground, oozing foul-smelling black blood.

Lu Qingfeng sheathed his sword, and the released form slowly faded away.

He walked to the corpse, used the tip of his sword to lift the black robe, and found nothing but a few sinister magical artifacts and a blood-red token engraved with the words "Yin Luo".

[Kill the leader of the Yinluo Path and his confidants]

[Dungeon progress has been greatly accelerated]

[Gain a large amount of experience points and disaster coins]

The core leaders of the Yinluo Sect in Jiangzhou City have been eliminated.

Huh? Are these two lone henchmen the Dao Lord and his confidants?

How can they be so weak?

Never mind, I'm in a hurry!

Lu Qingfeng took the heart's blood from the two fallen men, and his incredibly powerful senses probed directly into them, causing an immeasurable aura to fluctuate.

Soon, based on his reading of the energy flow through the aura, he easily found the entrance to a dark alley located behind the yamen.

This is the safe house where Zhou Tong and his associates conduct their shady transactions.

Deep in a dark alley, inside a room with its doors and windows tightly shut.

Without any further explanation, Lu Qingfeng sensed the two incredibly weak auras within the energy field and chose to break down the door directly.

boom! ! !

The heavy wooden door, along with its frame, was blasted away by an overwhelming force, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere!

"Who?!"

Zhou Tong was filled with shock and anger. He instantly drew his standard-issue longsword from his waist, the blade emanating a layer of dark, menacing aura.

Master Li screamed and pulled a pale white talisman from his sleeve, intending to activate it.

Although Master Li looked familiar, Lu Qingfeng was too lazy to waste any words.

His target is information, and the strongest deterrent against this kind of person is absolute overwhelming power.

"Kneel down."

The two words were uttered softly, yet an overwhelming aura pressed down!

Zhou Tong felt as if an entire mountain had crashed onto his shoulders. His knees groaned under the strain, and his protective aura shattered like paper. With a thud, he fell heavily to his knees, the long sword in his hand clattering to the ground.

Master Li was in even worse shape. Before the talisman could even be lit, he was forced to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose, his bones creaking as if they were about to fall apart.

Lu Qingfeng walked up to Master Li, gently stepped on his wrist as he tried to reach for something in his arms, applying slight pressure.

"ah!!"

Master Li let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"I ask, you answer."

Lu Qingfeng's voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion. "The Sealing Disc, who has it? The real map of Jiangzhou City's geological nodes, and the other strongholds and plans of the Yinluo Path, how much do you know?"

Faced with an overwhelming power disparity and excruciating pain and fear, Master Li's psychological defenses crumbled instantly:

"The Sealing Disc... is in the hands of Director Fang Qingyuan! He always carries it with him! The Earth Vein Node Map... I only have a copy, it's... hidden in my pocket!..."

Lu Qingfeng flicked his toe and pulled a leather scroll wrapped in oilcloth from his arms, putting it into his pocket without even looking at it.

Then, his gaze turned to Zhou Tong, who was struggling to get up.

"You're making use of waste."

He flicked his finger through the air, and a subtle yet incredibly refined gust of qi swept across Zhou Tong's neck.

The deputy director stared wide-eyed, clutching his bleeding throat, and with a few gasps, collapsed into a pool of blood.

Upon seeing this, Master Li was terrified, soiling himself in the process: "Hero, spare my life! I've already told you! I..."

"Your statement has been verified."

Lu Qingfeng said calmly, "But you colluded with evil forces and harmed living beings, you deserve to die."

With a flash of sword light, Master Li's pleas for mercy came to an abrupt halt.

Just as Lu Qingfeng bent down to examine Zhou Tong's body further for any more clues, he suddenly sensed a series of heavy footsteps, the clanging of armor, and a rough command coming from the main street outside the alley:

"Surround this alley! Crossbowmen, advance! Those inside, listen up, surrender immediately! Otherwise, you will be treated as treasoners and executed without exception!"

His voice was loud and clear, carrying the distinctive fierceness of a military officer.

Immediately following was the sound of a large number of soldiers running to set up defenses and the creaking of bowstrings being drawn.

The torchlight illuminated the alleyway.

"The army? They arrived quickly..."

Lu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

Either these two scoundrels have some kind of emergency alarm device on them, or... their accomplices have been monitoring them nearby and will immediately call in reinforcements if things go wrong!

Judging from the perceived energy intensity and number of people, the approaching force was a well-trained hundred-man squad. Their aura was slightly different from that of ordinary city defense troops; they were more elite and carried a bloody scent, suggesting they were elite direct-line troops.

The two leaders were full of vigor, and one of them even possessed a considerable martial arts cultivation aura.

"Kill without mercy? Treason?"

"What a huge accusation, you bunch of idiots! I really am plotting rebellion, and I hope you really are suppressing it!"

Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh in anger, but after his anger subsided, he was filled with unparalleled fury.

He needs a battle of sufficient magnitude to test the power that has just been fused and to establish the first blood-stained milestone.

"Alright."

"That saves me the trouble of coming to you..."

He strode slowly toward the entrance of the dark alley.

With each step he took, the aura that had subsided rose and expanded again, becoming increasingly intense and violent.

The air began to distort, and the dust and gravel on the ground trembled and floated slightly.

Outside the alley entrance, illuminated by the firelight, a hundred elite armored soldiers drew their swords and nocked their crossbows, forming a tight military formation, exuding a murderous aura.

The bearded general at the head of the group was none other than General Qin Lie himself. He held a long iron spear in his hand and stared at the dark alleyway with a look of suspicion and uncertainty in his eyes.

He received an urgent report from his subordinates that Zhou Tong might have been attacked at a secret stronghold and that the enemy was powerful, so he immediately led his personal guard, who was originally prepared to reap the rewards, to the scene.

I thought I could catch them red-handed, but I never expected the aura coming from the alley to be so terrifying!

"Thieves inside, if you don't come out soon, we'll unleash a volley of arrows!"

Qin Lie roared, but a strange sense of panic crept into his heart.

His response was a voice that seemed to resonate in the depths of everyone's heart:

"Slaughtering you all is just a natural consequence!"

The moment the words fell—

boom!!!

A figure carrying a visible dark red aura, like a meteor bursting out from the deepest abyss, charged fiercely into the army formation!

This is the purest and most brutal head-on crushing!

Lu Qingfeng has completely unleashed his power!

Dark red keratin was faintly visible all over his body, his blood and qi surged like a great river, and his aura expanded to the limit, enveloping all the soldiers in the fan-shaped area in front of him!

The suppression of the lower life field by the higher life field is almost absolute!

All the soldiers present felt their bodies stiffen and unable to move on their own, as if they were being targeted by a man-eating beast!

Even when forced to take action, it is quite strenuous.

After charging into the army formation, Lu Qingfeng didn't stop at all; his Qingfeng sword transformed into a storm of death!

Piercing the moon!

One move after another, the sword energy, refined to its utmost, was like streaks of azure lightning, easily piercing through the armor's protection and penetrating the bodies of one soldier after another, bringing forth sprays of blood.

The sword light swirled, like an invisible reaping scythe, leaving limbs and severed bodies flying wherever it passed.

Ordinary swords and spears, when struck against his steel body, could only send up a trail of sparks and produce a metallic clang.

He was like a tiger among sheep; wherever he went, men and horses fell, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!

The hundred-man army was like a paper dam, easily breached by his terrifying speed of advance and absolute strength!

"Monster! He's a monster!!"

"It's unstoppable! Absolutely unstoppable!"

Screams, cries of alarm, the cracking of bones, and the snapping of weapons filled the air.

The remaining soldiers wanted to escape, but with their minds already broken and their life force suppressed, they were paralyzed and could only stand there at Lu Qingfeng's mercy.

Witnessing all this, Qin Lie's eyes widened in fury. He roared and thrust his spear forward, the tip of the spear flashing coldly, carrying the tragic aura of bloodshed on the battlefield!

This is his desperate, all-or-nothing move!

Lu Qingfeng didn't even turn around.

His left hand shot out like lightning, his five fingers like hooks, and with perfect precision, he grabbed the tip of the gun that had pierced his back!

A surge of violent power caused him to grip the iron spear shaft with one hand, remaining completely still!

"What?!"

Qin Lie was horrified and desperately tried to wrest the spear back, but it felt as if it were welded into the mountain.

The next moment, Lu Qingfeng swept his right hand with his Qingfeng sword, and a crescent-shaped aura swept across the sky.

laugh!

Qin Lie, along with the upper bodies of several of his personal guards, slid down at an angle.

This ambitious general didn't even have time to utter his last words.

With their commander killed instantly, the already collapsing army completely lost its last will to resist, but it was clear that Lu Qingfeng would not let them go.

He reached out and plunged the Qingfeng sword into the heart of a soldier, then pulled it out, blood splattering everywhere.

He then twisted off the head of another soldier and threw it forward, knocking down a group of soldiers!

This process was repeated several times...

Only Lu Qingfeng remained standing in place, surrounded by lingering blood energy, with corpses strewn everywhere beneath his feet.

The stench of blood was so strong it was almost unbearable, but his eyes were clear, even carrying a hint of scrutiny.

"The Blood Feud Mark... works quite well."

He could sense that the soldiers who attacked him during the battle were automatically marked, and his damage to them was indeed increased.

Meanwhile, the flesh-and-blood furnace was operating silently, slightly transforming the blood energy permeating the battlefield and replenishing some of the losses.

He raised his hand, flicked the blood off the sword, and looked toward the prefectural government office and the north of the city.

There, Fang Qingyuan, the director of the Evil Suppression Division, and the Evil Sealing Disc in his hand, are the next targets.

In addition, the leader of these soldiers lingered in another place for a long time, where the atmosphere was very strong.

Why are there still two targets?

"It doesn't matter, I'll kill someone anyway!"

Without lingering, Lu Qingfeng stepped forward, leaving behind only a street utterly soaked in blood and death.
