Chapter 48 The Shadow Fiend Cult Exits
The woman's laughter still echoed among the ruins, but the battle between Lu Qingfeng and the Shadow Fiend Cult members had already subtly paused because of her appearance.
"...Thousand-Thread Hand Liu Qingqing?" The Shadow Fiend Cult's protector's pupils suddenly contracted, his voice filled with suppressed shock and anger, "You also want to seize this ley line node?"
still is……
Liu Qingqing covered her mouth and chuckled, the black threads at her fingertips twitching slightly as if alive: "The Yin energy of the earth's veins is inherently ownerless; the capable will claim it. Besides..."
Her gaze shifted, landing on Lu Qingfeng with a hint of inquiry. "This young man's blood and qi are like a furnace, his physique is unbelievably strong. He's an excellent candidate for crafting a Blood Fiend Battle Puppet. How about... we join forces to eliminate these Shadow Fiend Cult parasites first, and then we'll settle things once and for all?"
Upon hearing this, the aura of the five members of the Shadow Fiend Sect suddenly turned cold.
They came to investigate the lingering will of the food workshop and the abnormal movement of the earth's veins, but unexpectedly they ran into both a tough guy and that bitch Liu Qingqing.
Lu Qingfeng remained expressionless, but his mind was racing.
The three parties are locked in a standoff, all clearly coveting the core of this Yin energy site, and their mutual hostility is evident.
Even if one is strong, if targeted by two sides at the same time, it is inevitable to get caught up in a protracted battle.
If they have any hidden trump cards, I will definitely suffer a great loss.
Moreover, the Yellow Millet Dream can only be used once, and its cooldown period is unknown, so there's no need to waste it in this dungeon.
Therefore, the best strategy is to exploit their contradictions, eliminate one side first, and then kill the rest.
"Join forces?" Lu Qingfeng asked, revealing what he thought was a sunny smile. "Sure. But I want that protector's head. He just said he wanted to leave me with a whole corpse, which I really don't like."
He raised his hand and pointed at the Shadow Fiend Cult Protector, speaking as casually as if he were ordering food.
A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Qingqing's eyes, followed by a wider smile, as if she had seen something interesting: "Interesting, deal."
The Shadow Fiend Cult's protector flew into a rage: "Arrogant! You two think you can take us down? Form the array!"
The four followers moved swiftly, occupying positions in all four directions, with the protector in the center. The five of them were connected by their auras, and the Yin energy surged out like a tide, forming a viscous black force field around them.
This is the [Yin Sha Binding Spirit Array]!
Inside the formation, the air became heavy, movement was hindered, and countless tiny, ghostly phantoms shrieked and swooped out, disturbing the mind.
"A trivial skill."
With a flick of her wrist, Liu Qingqing activated the six Yin puppets simultaneously, their joints making strange "crackling" sounds as they fearlessly charged into the formation!
Ignoring the interference of the spirits, they withstood the force of the attack with their sturdy bodies, wielding their metal arms and claws as they fought the Shadow Shaman cultists.
The Yin Puppet is painless and fearless, and its fierce fighting style immediately tied up most of the opponent's energy.
Lu Qingfeng seized the opportunity.
The ground beneath his feet shattered, and his figure transformed into a blood-red afterimage, rushing straight towards the guardian at the center of the formation!
"Stop him!" the guardian shouted, forming hand seals. The black energy in the formation condensed into several thick tentacles, which coiled towards Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng neither dodged nor evaded, but swept his sword horizontally, unleashing a burst of crimson sword energy!
"break!"
The tentacle snapped off instantly, but the black energy at the break point writhed, attempting to regenerate.
At the same time, two cultists who had broken free from the Yin puppet's entanglement attacked from the flank, their poisoned blades aimed at Lu Qingfeng's ribs and back.
Lu Qingfeng snorted coldly, his spiritual energy shield opened, and dark blue lines reappeared beneath his skin.
The poisoned blade struck, making a crisp clanging sound, but only left a faint white mark; the poison failed to penetrate even a fraction of the way!
"What?!" the two cult members exclaimed in horror.
Lu Qingfeng turned around and threw a punch, the force penetrating the body. The cultist on the left collapsed in the chest and flew backward.
With a swift downward slash, Chongyue with his right hand cleaved another cultist in two, blade and all!
The shockwave relentlessly eroded the wound, severing any possibility of regeneration.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the guardian bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which then merged into the formation.
The black force field suddenly contracted, transforming into a solid, yin-evil spike that shot towards Lu Qingfeng's brow with a mournful ghostly howl!
Lu Qingfeng's eyes narrowed, sensing that the insidious spiritual power contained in the sharp cone was somewhat troublesome.
His mind raced, and instead of blocking head-on, he chose to use the Cloud Ladder Leap, his body drifting three zhang to the side.
The sharp cone grazed past his ear and sank into the broken wall behind him, silently corroding a large hole in the wall.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Lu Qingfeng suddenly appeared within five feet of the protector!
The guardian spirit was greatly alarmed, and a pitch-black domino slipped from his sleeve, which he intended to crush and escape.
But Lu Qingfeng was faster!
"Piercing Moon!"
It's not a sword technique, but rather the condensation of penetrating intent into the fist!
With a single punch, his qi and blood were highly compressed, transforming into a spiraling, cone-shaped beam of qi that struck first despite being thrown later, piercing through the guardian's hastily assembled Yin Sha shield and accurately hitting his chest.
puff!
The guardian's body trembled violently. Looking down, he saw a gaping hole the size of a bowl in his chest, from which fragments of internal organs mixed with black blood gushed out.
He opened his mouth, but the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and he fell backward.
However, things did not end so simply, and the guardian's corpse suddenly swelled up again!
Deathrattle?!
Lu Qingfeng sensed an impending, ominous explosion. Without hesitation, he activated the Blood Moon Seal within his body, sacrificing his own blood and qi to suppress the guardian's explosion.
Of course, all of this was kept from Liu Qingqing.
Although he was not in good shape, he also managed to destroy the core of the formation.
Once the key point of the formation was broken, the [Yin Sha Binding Spirit Formation] immediately collapsed.
The remaining two cultists suffered a backlash, causing them to falter. The Yin Puppet seized the opportunity and tore them to pieces.
The five members of the Shadow Fiend Cult were all wiped out!
Liu Qingqing clapped her hands and chuckled, "Young man, your skills are impressive, your methods swift and decisive, truly admirable. But... now, it's just us left."
The six Yin puppets moved slowly, subtly surrounding Lu Qingfeng. Their bodies were stained with the filthy blood of the Shadow Fiend Cult members, making them appear even more ferocious.
Lu Qingfeng flicked the blood off Chongyue, looked at the pulsating, chilling core deep within the ancestral hall, and then glanced at Liu Qingqing: "How do you plan to divide it?"
"It's very simple." Black silk threads swirled around Liu Qingqing's fingertips. "The core of the Yin Sha of the Earth Vein belongs to me. I need it to nurture the Yin Sha Puppet King."
As for you, young man… I see you seem interested in the things in that ancestral hall as well? Then you can take the rest yourself!
"Young man, you wouldn't make things difficult for a weak woman, would you?"
She smiled radiantly, but her tone carried an unquestionable air.
The six Yin puppets took a step forward simultaneously, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Lu Qingfeng was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "That sounds fair."
Bullshit! She took what was most important to this woman, and now she's leaving him to scavenge the rest? What kind of person does she take him for?!
Liu Qingqing sensed something was wrong, switched to another expression, and was about to speak.
Lu Qingfeng continued, "Unfortunately, I don't like having others make arrangements for me. And..."
"Don't talk like that, I hate people like you the most!"
Before he finished speaking, his blood and qi surged dramatically!
Lu Qingfeng decided to stop wasting words with this woman, since she had already been marked as an enemy monster, the "eldest daughter of the Liu family," by the online community.
Just kill them!
In this instance that has no connection to the outside world, Lu Qingfeng doesn't eat beef!
Dark red keratin covered his body, his pupils turned crimson, and a violent sense of power emanated from him, yet he was still under Lu Qingfeng's control!
"What?!" Liu Qingqing's expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected that the other party had been hiding such terrifying power!
That aura had already approached or even surpassed that of a third-tier cultivator!
