Chapter 37 [Earthly Fiend Tribulation] Fierce Battle
"Fuck your mother!"
Lu Qingfeng's fierce shout and the sword light erupted almost simultaneously!
Three sharp and unparalleled sword beams tore through the air, instantly piercing the throat, heart, and lower abdomen of the last black-robed man!
puff!puff!puff!
The foul blood gushed out like a spring, the black-robed man's body trembled violently, and his life force rapidly drained away like a punctured balloon.
However, just as the flame of his life was about to be completely extinguished—
An even more unexpected event has occurred!
"Damn, did we go too far?"
The black-robed man's mournful cries for help still echoed in the cold cave when the jet-black bone talisman stained with blood suddenly burst forth with a blinding light!
Om-!
A chilling, malicious aura instantly emanated from the bone talisman!
The dark purple malevolent mist that had been swirling on the altar seemed to be summoned by something, and it surged wildly toward the bone talisman, forming a rapidly spinning vortex.
At the center of the vortex, the eerie light distorted, and a blurry, enormous phantom was rapidly coalescing!
"Hehehe... Useless... Can't even handle this little thing..."
A hoarse, shrill voice, neither male nor female, boomed through the cave.
"Your...Your Excellency!"
The man in black robes wept uncontrollably, as if grasping at a last straw, "It's...it's a remnant of the Hidden Mystery Temple! He..."
"Shut up!"
The mysterious phantom's voice suddenly rose, filled with violence and disdain, giving the black-robed man no chance to finish speaking.
Instead, it pounced on the dying man in black robes like a venomous snake that would devour its prey!
"You lowly beast, how dare you talk to me about reasons! Your body and remnant soul are the fuel for your atonement!"
All that remained were the black-robed man's nonsensical last words: "If the Dao Lord hadn't been away..."
Before he could finish speaking,
"Ugh—!!"
A completely inhuman roar, mixed with a kind of sinister satisfaction, burst forth from the black-robed man's throat, which should have been completely silent.
His broken body suddenly straightened up, as if forcibly suspended by invisible threads, his bones making a teeth-grinding, clattering sound, as if they were being forcibly reshaped.
Lu Qingfeng's pupils shrank suddenly. Without thinking, he exerted force with his feet and retreated rapidly!
At the same time, the Qingfeng sword in his hand flashed, protecting his body.
The sight before them was chilling: the black-robed man's corpse was undergoing a horrific mutation at a visible speed!
It felt like countless living things were wriggling and multiplying wildly under my skin!
Instead of bleeding more from the wound that Lu Qingfeng had pierced, a blackish-purple viscous fluid with a strong, foul odor gushed out.
The mucus quickly covered the wound and spread along the body, forming twisted bluish-black streaks.
The remaining dark purple evil mist on the altar, as if summoned, surged wildly toward the mutated creature, greedily absorbing it and causing its aura to rise steadily!
This terrifying scene caused Lu Qingfeng's pupils to shrink sharply!
He could clearly feel that the energy fluctuations emitted by the phantom after devouring the black-robed man instantly surged tenfold or even ninefold, becoming more solid and more dangerous!
That pure malice almost materialized into icicles, piercing his spirit fiercely.
"Insects! You have ruined the gestation of my turbid evil source core, you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
Before he could finish speaking, a giant ghost claw covered in eerie scales tore through the air and came slashing down at Lu Qingfeng!
Before the ghostly claws even arrived, the chilling, malevolent aura that froze blood and eroded the soul had already enveloped Lu Qingfeng's entire body.
The protective energy within the body fluctuated violently, emitting a hissing sound as if it were overwhelmed.
The ground beneath our feet was silently covered with a layer of white frost, which quickly spread and cracked outwards!
A matter of life and death!
But Lu Qingfeng remained rooted to the spot, as if he had been terrified and had lost his courage, too afraid to run away.
Within his body.
The level of subtlety was pushed to its extreme, and every cell seemed to be sending out a dangerous alarm.
So, is Lu Qingfeng really afraid?
Obviously not!
"Heh...heh heh!"
A suppressed laugh was forced out of his throat.
It wasn't fear, it wasn't dread, it was...excitement!
The Crimson Moon Seal within his body was activated to its fullest extent, and the familiar violent impulse surged into his brain once again.
Lu Qingfeng raised his head, revealing his slightly sickly scarlet pupils.
Prior to this, the Crimson Moon Seal had already undergone an indescribable mutation due to stimulation.
The crimson power, like a molten lava torrent bursting its banks, no longer merely attached itself to the attack, but surged forth, violently washing over and transforming every inch of Lu Qingfeng's muscles and bones!
Click! Click!
A series of teeth-grinding popping sounds rang out!
Lu Qingfeng’s originally slender body swelled and grew taller as if inflated!
Thick, bluish-black blood vessels bulged and writhed beneath the skin like writhing dragons, and the skin surface was instantly covered by a layer of keratin that emitted a dark red glow, like a demon crawling out of hell.
Muscle fibers expand explosively after being compressed to their limit, releasing destructive power.
His height instantly increased by nearly a foot, his shoulders became as broad as rocks, and his arms became as thick as beams!
The Qingfeng sword that had accompanied him in battle all this time now seemed to have become a light, toy tree branch in his hands.
"Power...it's fascinating..."
A metallic scraping sound came from Lu Qingfeng's mutated throat, his scarlet pupils fixed on the giant ghostly claw that was reaching out to grab him.
boom!
He actually plunged the Qingfeng sword in his hand into the hard rocky ground beside him, the blade disappearing all the way to the hilt!
In such a battle, the Qingfeng Sword is very likely to shatter.
"The weapon... is so weak!"
"These hands... are enough!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Qingfeng made his move!
That was the most primitive and ferocious straight-line charge!
Boom!
The hard rock beneath his feet was trampled into a deep pit as if it were tofu, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread several feet!
Lu Qingfeng's body transformed into a dark red afterimage that tore through the air, carrying an aura of crushing everything, and rushed straight towards the giant ghost claw!
The subtle understanding he had previously used to monitor his body's condition was now transformed into an absolute release of power as he used his body as a weapon.
"Smash it!!"
The disproportionately swollen right fist, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as it tore through the air, slammed head-on into the palm of the ghost claw without any fancy moves!
boom--!
Like two mountain peaks colliding with a deafening roar!
A deafening roar instantly filled the entire underground space!
The violent shockwave, centered on the point of impact, swept wildly outwards like a tsunami!
The eerie runes on the stone wall crumbled and vanished in large swaths!
The remaining evil mist on the altar was instantly dispersed!
The entire grotto was shaking violently, with gravel and dust falling everywhere!
The ghost claw, harder than refined steel, cracked under the immense force of Lu Qingfeng's terrifying punch, which contained pure power.
Visible cracks spread across the entire massive demonic claw in an instant, like lightning!
"roar--!!!"
The malevolent monster that possessed the black-robed man's corpse let out a roar of fury and horror.
It clearly hadn't expected that this ant before it could unleash such pure and terrifying power!
The savage and destructive aura contained within this power even subtly overwhelmed its sinister and evil energy!
*Pfft!* *Boom!*
The ghost claw was not completely shattered, but its core node of Yin Sha was directly blasted through and annihilated by the power of the red moon contained in Lu Qingfeng's punch!
The Yin energy that constituted the ghost claw instantly lost its core cohesive power and became chaotic and overflowing!
But this is just the beginning!
With a single punch, Lu Qingfeng shattered the ghost claw's defense, but his offensive continued unabated!
His swollen, mutated body displayed an explosive speed disproportionate to its size, and his scarlet pupils caught the opening exposed by the shattered ghost claw.
At the chest of that deformed body, there was a ball of dark purple light that was pulsating violently!
"die--!!"
Lu Qingfeng's left fist, carrying a more ferocious red light than his right fist, was like a siege hammer, tearing through the chaotic Yin energy flow and slamming hard into the dark purple light ball!
Boom! ! !
A muffled, explosive sound!
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
The mutated monster's roar abruptly ceased.
Its body, covered in bluish-black stripes and slime, froze in place as if a pause button had been pressed.
next second.
puff--!!!
Centered on Lu Qingfeng's fist, the dark purple core light cluster shattered like glass being smashed by a heavy hammer!
Seemingly still not sure, Lu Qingfeng exerted force again, twisting the twisted monster's right arm into a pretzel before pulling it out deeply!
Strange slime is gushing everywhere!
Lu Qingfeng then swiftly reached out with his left arm, piercing through the monster's abdomen. As if not satisfied, he pulled out the monster's intestines and tied them around its neck, even adding a bow at the same time.
"Weak, weak, too weak!"
"Why can't I have my fill!"
"Answer me, you bastard!"
The monster lay motionless on the ground, seemingly about to die at any moment, but Lu Qingfeng was not about to let him have his way. His arms moved like pile drivers, and his fists rained down on the monster's corpse in a fierce second attack!
Flesh, blood, mucus, and fragments of bone... covered the entire underground cavern.
After an unknown amount of time, the entire underground grotto fell into a deathly silence.
Only Lu Qingfeng's heavy, bellows-like breathing and the dark red keratin layer on his body that had not yet completely faded proved the authenticity of the brief battle just now.
He slowly withdrew his filthy, massive fist, his crimson pupils sweeping across the ravaged battlefield before finally settling on the mangled pile of flesh.
"……snort."
A satisfied hum rang out.
Subsequently, the light of the Blood Moon Mark within Lu Qingfeng's body slowly receded, and the violent power receded like a tide, causing his swollen body to rapidly... not recover for a while.
But the exhilarating feeling of crushing a powerful enemy lingered like eating a chilled watermelon on a sweltering summer day.
Power, indeed, is the most direct language.
He walked to the green-bladed sword stuck in the rock and pulled it out.
The sword remained clear and bright, as if the storm of power from just now had nothing to do with it.
Lu Qingfeng shook off the pebbles from his sword and turned his gaze back to the various unidentified symbols in the cave, and... the clues that might remain in the pile of rotten flesh.
I should have known better than to smash it so badly. Oh well, I'll forgive you this time.

On the other side:
In a dark alley next to the Zhenxie Division, two men in black robes, who appeared to have just finished a conversation, were talking.
"Master, is it safe for Xiao Liu and the other two to guard the altar?"
"It's alright. Apart from them, I've already moved the Ghost King that my Dao is about to nurture there. Only the final step of the Earthly Fiend Essence is needed to complete it, and my Dao's century-long wish will be fulfilled! It's practically foolproof!"
"Hehehe!!! Hehehe!!!"
"The Dao Lord is mighty! The Dao Lord is unparalleled in the world!"
