Chapter 118

"Kid, didn't you hear me tell you to stop just now?"

In an instant, Miao Qingfeng arrived not far in front of Lu Zhangsheng, under a large tree.

He looked at the headless corpse on the ground, the killing intent in his eyes like substance.

As a top-tier Skin-Refining expert, no one had ever dared to ignore him like this, which made him feel as if he had suffered a great insult.

Today, he must kill the other party on the spot!

The group of evil cultists around all looked at Lu Zhangsheng as if looking at a dead man.

Having angered Miao Qingfeng, a Guardian of the Central Main Altar, even dying easily would be a luxury for the other party.

Next, he would likely face extremely cruel torture.

The government warriors nearby who hadn't fled yet saw this and showed worry.

This Miao Qingfeng was also notorious, with extremely powerful strength, ranking high on the government's wanted list.

As Skin-Refining experts, each one was a top-tier figure, absolutely incomparable to a Perfected Blood-Transmutation.

In everyone's heart, this Lord Ye was only at the Perfected Blood-Transmutation stage and likely couldn't match the other party.

"What kind of dog thing are you? Are you worthy of making me stop?"

"A bunch of scum who have surrendered to demons, not even worthy of being human, and you are worthy of making me stop?"

Lu Zhangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his expression as calm as water.

Compared to demons, he despised these human traitors even more.

The struggle between humans and demons was about racial survival and the competition for interests.

These people, for the sake of their own power, lifespan, or some goal, were willing to become the lackeys of demons, which he hated the most.

"How bold!"

A loud shout resounded through the sky, shaking the green leaves around until they fell.

Miao Qingfeng looked at Lu Zhangsheng with extremely cold eyes, his body surging with blood-evil Qi, full of oppressive pressure.

He was completely enraged; he had roamed Qingning Prefecture for decades, and no one had ever dared to call him a dog thing to his face.

The other party was simply tired of living.

"I will pull out your bones one by one and let you enjoy it properly..."

His tone was incomparably cold.

A pair of blood-red eyes, like a venomous snake, stared fixedly at Lu Zhangsheng.

The group of evil cultists around also looked surprised.

They didn't expect this mysterious government expert to be so suicidal.

"This person is dead for sure, daring to insult Guardian Miao; he is truly arrogant to the extreme. It's a pity for a genius expert of the government..."

A group of evil cultists began to discuss.

Some government warriors watching from afar were all full of worry.

"I don't know if Lord Ye can escape Miao Qingfeng's pursuit; we must quickly send people to notify the county city, hoping Lord Ye can hold on a little longer..."

Many government warriors retreated rapidly, preparing to go back and report the news.

From Miao Qingfeng's appearance to the two mocking each other, it all happened in an instant.

At this moment, Miao Qingfeng made his move directly.

The moment he struck, it was earth-shattering.

He slashed forward abruptly with his blade.

The blood-red blade light flickered in the void, as if to cut through everything; even the air emitted sonic booms, and the momentum was fierce and peerless.

For this strike, he used his full strength, intending to kill the other party here today.

Months ago, he had gone to the Venerable Master to beg for a great killing weapon; it would be impossible for the other party to escape using movement techniques.

Seeing the blood-red blade light coming, Lu Zhangsheng felt his body tighten, firmly locked by a killing intent.

He sneered coldly, pushed off with his feet, and flashed rapidly toward the rear.

Within a few movements, he disappeared from his original spot, as fast as a thunderbolt.

He had no intention of fighting the other party head-on; with his current strength, he couldn't kill this person yet.

It wouldn't be too late to come back and trouble the other party after his cultivation improved again.

"What astonishing speed."

A group of evil cultists were filled with horror.

This kind of speed was unheard of, something even some Skin-Refining experts didn't possess.

"This person must have practiced his movement technique to perfection, otherwise it wouldn't be this terrifying."

Many people began to discuss.

Some government warriors nearby also breathed a sigh of relief.

With movement techniques of this level, it shouldn't be difficult to escape Miao Qingfeng's pursuit.

If such an expert were to fall here, it would be a major loss for the government.

"Still want to run?"

Miao Qingfeng sneered.

He activated his footwork and followed rapidly, turning into a black shadow weaving through the dense forest.

Each step covered more than ten meters, his speed astonishing.

Unfortunately, he was still far behind Lu Zhangsheng in front.

The two chased and fled, gradually disappearing into the towering mountains and ridges.

Seeing Lu Zhangsheng fleeing further and further away, Miao Qingfeng wasn't in a hurry; his body's Qi and blood erupted suddenly.

"Sizzle..."

An extremely evil aura surged frantically from within his body, and blood-colored runes instantly covered his entire body.

A pair of blood-red wings quickly manifested on both sides of his arms, and a fierce aura rose around him, as if endless ghost shadows were roaring.

After this transformation, Miao Qingfeng's speed surged drastically.

Like a giant bat monster, he glided rapidly over the treetops; his speed was so fast that it formed trails of afterimages.

In just a few breaths, Miao Qingfeng approached not far behind Lu Zhangsheng.

Sensing such an evil aura behind him, Lu Zhangsheng glanced back, his expression shifting slightly.

"Demon power again; these evil cultists are indeed a subordinate force of the Heaven Demon Gate."

The other party's appearance was somewhat like a transformed bat demon.

Clearly, he had stimulated some kind of demon blood essence, which allowed his speed to surge, otherwise, it would be impossible to catch up to him.

But this situation definitely wouldn't last; demon blood essence was also limited in quantity.

He didn't stop, continuing to sprint forward rapidly.

"Die for me!"

With a loud shout, a giant blood-colored blade light appeared from the void, slashing rapidly toward Lu Zhangsheng's back.

Miao Qingfeng struck in anger, intending to kill this person completely with this move.

After their one-strike clash last time, he knew the other party's strength.

He definitely couldn't block this blade after he had stimulated his demon blood essence.

Under this move, the other party would definitely die.

This was the confidence of a Skin-Refining expert.

Once the blade was out, he stopped directly on the canopy of a large tree, standing with his hands behind his back, his aura as deep as an abyss.

"Not good! Lord Ye is in danger!"

Some government warriors nearby saw this and were full of worry.

The aura of this blade was too terrifying; a Perfected Blood-Transmutation couldn't possibly take it.

Not only that, he didn't expect Miao Qingfeng to have the blood essence of a bat demon, increasing his speed so much; Lord Ye couldn't escape at all.

The other party was clearly prepared.

"Haha... the government's genius warrior is dead for sure this time."

A group of evil cultists were full of joy.

The other party had slaughtered many Holy Sect members over the past few years, making them terrified; today, he would fall here.

These people felt as if they were celebrating a festival, incomparably excited.

Sensing the monstrous killing intent behind him, Lu Zhangsheng's expression was somewhat solemn.

"Drink..."

He directly stimulated the secret technique Three-Fold Wave and his body-protecting True Qi with full force.

A transparent Qi shield erupted suddenly from his body; with a contraction and expansion, the Qi became even more solid, firmly protecting his entire body.

The Qi shield was surrounded by fluorescence, appearing extremely miraculous.

Immediately after.

Lu Zhangsheng stood with his feet apart, as if he were a thousand-pound weight, falling rapidly toward the ground.

He was prepared to take the other party's blade head-on.

Since he couldn't leave, he would fight! From Skin-Refining to Blood-Transmutation, his skin, flesh, tendons, and bones had all been cultivated to perfection; at this moment, even he didn't know how powerful he was.

Mo Xueyou was just an appetizer, far from worthy of his attention.

Today was the perfect time to use Miao Qingfeng to test the results of his years of cultivation.

"Kill."

Lu Zhangsheng drew his blade rapidly and slashed forward fiercely.

"Clatter..."

A snow-white, sharp blade light appeared in the void, like a heavenly river, emitting a dazzling and eye-catching brilliance.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The two blade lights collided fiercely.

Intense energy swept in all directions, surrounding fallen leaves flew, the ground was covered in blade marks, a complete mess.

"Sizzle..." Under one strike, the blood-colored blade light's aura diminished slightly, slashing fiercely onto Lu Zhangsheng's body-protecting Qi.

The Qi instantly rippled like water, emitting bursts of harsh, shrill sounds.

"Clatter..."

A moment later, the body-protecting Qi shattered directly, turning into bursts of energy that dispersed.

After being blocked by the Qi, the blood-colored blade light also dissipated into the air.

Wild winds rose all around, and the evil aura surged frantically.

Lu Zhangsheng landed steadily on the ground, his expression as calm as water.

He had stepped two small pits into the ground; he had taken the other party's blade steadily.

The force had all been transmitted deep into the ground.

He himself was completely unharmed.

"This is impossible!"

Miao Qingfeng was full of horror.

The other party couldn't possibly have taken his full-strength strike; last time, he relied on movement techniques to dissipate the force to barely escape.

This time, he had actually taken his blade light steadily, causing monstrous waves to surge in his heart.

This simply didn't conform to common sense.

"Could your strength have broken through again?"

He guessed the reason in an instant, and a chill suddenly surged in his heart.

The other party's threat was too great; being young and having such strength, there was clearly a great hope for the Innate.

He must kill the other party here with all his might.

"This person is so strong."

The group of evil cultists also looked as if they had seen a ghost.

They didn't expect the other party to have taken Guardian Miao's full-strength blade.

It made everyone feel as if they were in a dream.

"What a powerful body-protecting Qi!"

Some government warriors were also shocked, not expecting Lord Ye to have forcibly taken the other party's fatal strike.

Lu Zhangsheng looked at Miao Qingfeng quietly, holding his Killing Pig Knife, looking nonchalant.

At this moment, he also knew his own strength; when erupting with full force, he was not much weaker than the other party; it was impossible for this person to defeat him easily.

Let alone killing him, that was simply dreaming.

With his Perfected Blood-Transmutation strength, fighting against a Skin-Refining early-stage Miao Qingfeng who had also stimulated demon blood essence, this kind of battle record was already shocking.

If his own skin, flesh, and bones hadn't broken through perfectly, it would have been absolutely impossible to achieve.

"Die."

Killing intent erupted in Miao Qingfeng's eyes, and he rushed up again with his blade.

His body was surging with fierce aura, and the oppressive pressure was extremely astonishing.

"Whoosh..."

Lu Zhangsheng directly stimulated a drop of blood essence, and the Qi and blood around his body surged frantically, turning into a blood-colored wolf smoke that shot straight into the sky.

Immediately after, a pure white Qi shield appeared around him again, and it was actually stained with a wisp of blood color.

Since breaking through to Perfected Blood-Transmutation, the ninety-nine drops of blood essence flowing deep in his heart had been stained with a wisp of golden brilliance.

This time, erupting with one drop of blood essence directly caused his strength to surge again.

This was also the first time he had stimulated both the secret technique and the blood essence in his body simultaneously.

At this moment, his strength reached its peak in history.

A powerful, incomparably full feeling surged into his heart.

"Kill."

Lu Zhangsheng didn't show weakness either, directly raising his blade and killing up.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Intense collision sounds resounded through the sky, and the energy splashed wantonly, kicking up layers of green leaves.

The ground was also left with countless blade marks, grass, trees, and dust flew, a complete mess.

The two sides fought endlessly in the forest, becoming increasingly intense.

Because Lu Zhangsheng stimulated his own blood essence foundation, for a time, he was not at all weaker than Miao Qingfeng.

The body-protecting Qi around his body remained indestructible under the other party's slashes.

Emitting a sense of being as immovable as a mountain.

"So strong!"

A group of government warriors watched the distant battlefield with dropped jaws.

They didn't expect the other party to be able to fight Miao Qingfeng, this evil sect Guardian, to such a state.

"This person must have stimulated his blood essence; it definitely won't last. Once time is up, he's dead for sure."

Many evil cultists also saw this abnormality, their eyes full of venom.

"Let's see how long you can hold on."

Miao Qingfeng was also full of confidence.

The demon blood essence in his body was enough to let him kill the other party.

Holding on for a moment would be the other party's death date.

A group of government warriors heard this and felt some worry on their faces.

Everyone clenched their fists, silently praying.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

As time passed, the two sides were still fighting bloody battles in the forest.

The exchanges became increasingly dangerous.

The surrounding trees were uprooted by the energy of their fight, and the scene was incomparably chaotic.

Such a scene was no different from a fight between Skin-Refining experts.

A cup of tea's time later.

Miao Qingfeng looked at his opponent, whose momentum not only hadn't weakened but was fighting more fiercely, his face full of shock.

"This is impossible, what kind of ghost thing are you?"

"Could it be that you have also surrendered to demons and have demon blood essence?"

The other party's Qi and blood smoke shot straight into the sky, becoming increasingly vast, making him start to doubt himself.

Lu Zhangsheng couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the other party; as he swung his blade, the blade Qi traveled through the void, becoming increasingly sharp.

As his figure moved, he collided with the other party, like a god of war.

"Add points."

When his Qi and blood were consumed too much, he would lightly click, keeping himself in a peak state at all times.

A group of evil cultists nearby all looked at Lu Zhangsheng with horror.

The expected scene didn't appear at all; the other party was becoming increasingly brave, which was simply unbelievable to them.

"Lord Ye wins."

A group of government warriors saw this and cheered, their faces full of joy.

In their view, the other party being able to block Miao Qingfeng meant there was no risk of falling.

Sure enough, the subsequent development was also within everyone's expectations.

After the two fought again for a moment.

"Clang, clang..."

Miao Qingfeng slashed fiercely at Lu Zhangsheng's body-protecting Qi, emitting a harsh, shrill sound.

A powerful counter-shock force followed, and he flashed his footsteps, spreading his arms like a bat, and retreated rapidly.

Within a few flashes, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Miao Qingfeng actually retreated without any hesitation.

Lu Zhangsheng's body-protecting Qi rotated frantically, rippling with endless water waves.

But it never shattered.

This time, relying on the blood essence in his body, he took it head-on.

He stood on the grass, quietly watching the other party's departing back, and didn't choose to chase.

The strength gap between the two wasn't large; continuing to fight and attracting other evil sect experts would lead to unpredictable consequences.

Once he broke through again, it would be the other party's death date.

He would definitely kill this person in the future.

"Run."

A group of evil cultists nearby also fled in all directions with fear.

Like stray dogs, they quickly disappeared into the forest.

Lu Zhangsheng didn't pay attention to these small fries either; under the awe-filled gazes of many government warriors nearby, he turned and ran rapidly toward the rear.

Miao Qingfeng moved wantonly atop the treetops, his face extremely ugly.

The wild wind billowed his blood-colored robe, making a flapping sound.

The killing intent in his heart couldn't stop boiling.

"This person's potential is too terrifying; he must find a way to exterminate him."

Cold light flickered in Miao Qingfeng's eyes.

Today, the two had formed a deadly feud; if the other party grew up, he would definitely die.

Thinking of this, a chill emerged in his body, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
