Unlike traditional teleportation effects, this time, with the sound effects of particle teleportation reminiscent of arcade games ending, Lu Qingfeng fell into the echoes of history.
Before the teleportation aura had completely dissipated, and before Lu Qingfeng could even continue to review the final rewards of the dungeon, the title "Walking in Kunlun" in the title bar began to flash.
[Kunlun March - Field Mission Triggered!]
[Kunlun Message: Unauthorized cross-domain energy fluctuations detected, located near Lake Karakol on the western edge of the Kunlun Mountains, strength assessed as [Battle Demon (Low-Tier)]]
This unit illegally entered the country from the Western Continent, triggering the Earth's autonomous defense mechanism, but it was not completely intercepted.
【Mission Requirements: Proceed to these coordinates [————] and eliminate the illegal immigrant [Flame Demon Grag]】
[Mission Notes: The target is assessed as a level 10 elite unit. They pose no real threat to those holding the "Kunlun Walk" permission. Killing them will grant you a Kunlun Ley Line Gift and additional merits.]
"—You've just gotten back and there's already something to do?" Exhausted, Lu Qingfeng felt like a miserable novelist who couldn't rest even on the 30th of the lunar calendar. "But it's a mission from Kunlun, so I guess I'll go."
He put aside the rewards from the dungeon for the time being, and as the cloud patterns on the jade ring swirled, the location of the Kunlun ley lines was immediately and clearly imprinted in his mind.
This is one of the permissions that was unlocked earlier: teleportation!
"By the way, is this teleportation reimbursed?"
[Network notification: ————, In progress ———— Reasonable losses incurred during this mission will be reimbursed!]
Wow! Being a full-time employee really makes a difference!
In a place by a lake that no one could find —
The beautiful lake, which should have reflected the boundless snow-capped mountains, was now disturbed by a sulfurous, acrid smell.
On a bare rocky beach by the lake, a figure about three meters tall, covered in dark red scales and with curved horns on its head, was growling impatiently.
This is none other than the Fiery Demon, Grag, who has smuggled himself in.
It was living peacefully in the karst abyss of the western continent when it accidentally obtained a ticket to the eastern continent. It then boldly defied the border blockade and smuggled itself in, wreaking havoc here.
However, as expected, the ship it was on suffered a shipwreck. When it woke up, it found itself lying at the foot of this snow-capped mountain. But the smuggling was finally completed. All it needed to do was cross this cloudless mountain range to officially enter the Xuan Kingdom!
However, what made it anxious was the feeling of panic that it was being watched by a higher being, which made it even more flustered because its brain capacity was already small.
"Damn it—how can this place have such strong suppression?" Grag swung his scaly claws, smacking a rock in frustration. "I need to find some blood and food to replenish my strength, and then—"
Its soliloquy came to an abrupt end.
Because less than a kilometer in front of it, a figure dressed in unfamiliar clothes appeared without warning and was quietly watching it.
The newcomer showed no signs of magical energy, appearing to be just an ordinary person. However, the blood-red glint in his eyes in the night caused Grag to feel a sudden, inexplicable unease.
"Who?!" The Balrog jumped back in shock, dark red flames spewing from its mouth and nose, forming a scorching shield around its body. "Insignificant human, how dare you spy on the great Lord Grag!"
Lu Qingfeng sized up the elite monster in front of him that reeked of sulfur, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
That's it?
Killing him would be a waste of his time!
He had no interest in talking to something that was about to die, but simply took a step forward.
With this seemingly casual step, Grag felt as if the entire earth trembled, and an indescribable heavy pressure rushed towards it, causing the flame shield around it to flicker erratically.
"Arrogance!" The Flame Demon was both shocked and enraged. It decided to strike first, swinging its arms forward with a fierce roar, "Touch of Annihilation!"
Two blazing dark red fire whips appeared out of thin air, lashing at Lu Qingfeng with a piercing whistling sound!
Lu Qingfeng simply sighed softly, "Why can't they be sensible and obediently die?"
Thus, under the shocking light of the little fire demon, an invisible layer of dark red light emerged from Lu Qingfeng's body.
"laugh!"
The two fire whips lashed fiercely at the faint glow of qi and blood, but they were like mud oxen entering the sea, failing to even stir a ripple, and were extinguished silently, leaving only a wisp of green smoke.
Grag's one eye widened in disbelief as he stared at the scene before him.
Although its incinerating touch was suppressed, it was still enough to easily kill an ordinary second-realm transcendent. How could this be possible?
Before it could figure it out, Lu Qingfeng had already taken the second step and threw a punch from a distance.
Before the fist even landed, the immense pressure of the punch had already materialized!
The air exploded under the strain, and a visible, transparent ripple pushed forward.
Grag only had time to cross his arms in front of him to protect himself, and the magic runes on his dark red scales flashed wildly.
"Bang!!!"
A dull, resounding thud, like the beating of a giant drum, rang out.
The three-meter-tall Fiery Demon was struck head-on by an invisible battering ram. The flame shield on its body was completely extinguished, the scales on its arms shattered, and dark red demonic blood seeped from the cracks, dripping onto the cold rocks with a sizzling sound.
"Cough—How is this possible—" Grag coughed up blood froth with sparks, his eyes filled with horror and fear.
Who is this human, and which great demon in disguise?!
Facing the weak Flame Demon, Lu Qingfeng did not stop. He took his third step and instantly covered a distance of tens of meters, arriving in front of the Flame Demon embedded in the rock wall.
Slowly raise your fist.
The shadow of death instantly seized the Flame Demon.
"No! The great lord will not let this go—" Grag roared in despair, using his last bit of strength to open his massive maw and try to unleash a final, destructive breath.
But Lu Qingfeng's punch was faster.
A simple, unadorned straight punch embodies the ultimate results achieved through hard work and sweat.
"Pfft!"
The fist easily pierced through the last magical barrier that Grag had hastily erected, and accurately struck its chest.
A violent burst of energy erupted instantly!
The fire demon Grag's body stiffened abruptly, its roar abruptly stopped, and the light in its single eye, filled with ferocity and terror, quickly dimmed.
Centered on the spot where the fist pierced its chest, dark red cracks spread across its entire body, with intense light shining through them—a sign that its core power was collapsing.
next second.
"boom!"
The Fiery Demon's body exploded from the inside out like a lit powder keg, turning into countless burning fragments and scattered dark red sparks.
"Oh wow, there are fireworks here too! How disgusting!"
Where it was, only a fist-sized, dull, cracked, dark red crystal remained, along with the lingering smell of sulfur that quickly dissipated in the air.
[Kunlun Range Field Mission Completed!]
[Successfully removed the unauthorized intruder: Balrog (Level 10 Elite)]
[Received Kunlun Leyline Gift: Kunlun Spirit Essence*3, slightly increased Leyline Affinity]
[Gained additional merit points; Kunlun walking permission experience slightly increased]
[Loot obtained: Broken Flame Demon Core (Blue Material) *1.]
Lu Qingfeng bent down and picked up the still warm, dark red crystal, weighed it in his hand, and then put it into his inventory.
"Mission complete, time to log off—" He dusted off non-existent dust from his hands, intending to teleport back to his hometown. "I can't log off now."
Lu Qingfeng looked up again and met Qingming's gaze!
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you!
