Chapter 71

"The person who came to kill you."

Lu Zhangsheng snorted coldly, pulling his slightly hoarse voice and said.

Immediately after, he drew the Killing Pig Knife in his hand and slashed forward fiercely.

A bright cold light flashed in the dark night, and even in the air, bursts of whistling sounds came, and the momentum was astonishing.

With this slash, he used his full strength, and even the Burning Blood Secret Art was stimulated, and his attack power had reached its peak.

"Not good!"

Hu Yuhe looked at Lu Zhangsheng with a face full of horror.

She felt that she was firmly locked by a powerful murderous intent, as if she had encountered some kind of natural enemy, and a slight carelessness would mean death on the spot.

Coupled with the fact that her own strength was completely improved by evil methods, she was almost at the bottom in Bone-forging and was not the opponent of the person in front of her.

She hurriedly stimulated her blood essence and stabbed out with a sword forward.

"Swish..."

The sword was like a thunderbolt, and cold light emerged.

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, the two sides collided.

Violent air waves swept in all directions, the ground cracked in bursts, and it was a mess.

Lu Zhangsheng's Killing Pig Knife directly swung away the other party's precious sword and slashed forward again.

It was still as fast as a thunderbolt.

"Who exactly are you?"

Hu Yuhe was full of despair.

Just from the strike just now, she almost couldn't resist.

If this continued, she would only have a dead end.

It was just that the other party was entangled too tightly, leaving her no chance to escape.

Too late to think, seeing the blade light approaching, she hurriedly stabbed out with a sword again.

"Bang bang bang..."

After taking this strike, Hu Yuhe felt incomparable pain in her wrist, clearly her bones were cracked.

Before she could react, the blade light approached again.

"Ah..."

After Hu Yuhe let out a scream, her head was directly slashed to the ground.

Fresh blood sprayed out, dyeing the surrounding bluestone bricks red.

Three moves, killing a Bone-forging strongman.

Of course, this was also because the other party's strength was too weak.

The other party was much worse than Zheng Tu that day.

After Lu Zhangsheng dealt with the other party's corpse, he walked toward the dark alley ahead and soon disappeared into the night.

Over the next few hours.

Lu Zhangsheng made consecutive moves, easily killing two more Wenxiang Sect Refining Meat warriors, and vented his anger.

It wasn't until near dawn that he stopped.

He returned to his own courtyard in the Outer City.

After dealing with everything cleanly, he fell asleep slowly.

…………

Over the next ten days or so, Lu Zhangsheng did not choose to make a move again.

Instead, he investigated in secret.

He knew that the other party must be vigilant, and the risk of making a move again was too great.

After he broke through to Bone-forging, it would be safer to go and find trouble with the other party.

And during these days, he also added the 【Three Fold Wave】 secret art to Perfection.

At this moment, his own Source Energy Points became abundant again.

He did not hesitate.

He immediately pointed toward the plus sign behind 【Three Fold Wave】.

"Hum..."

A fluctuation from the netherworld descended in his mind.

Making his spirit soar, as if a strong person was practicing day and night.

【After ten years of hard practice, Three Fold Wave has finally reached Perfection.】

Skill: 【Three Fold Wave】 (Perfection)

Note: Surpassing the realm that any warrior could reach in the past, the power is not bad after stimulation.

Source Energy Points: 40.

Seeing that the improvement was completed, Lu Zhangsheng hurriedly tested it.

As the secret art was stimulated.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Qi and blood in his body surged crazily, forming a blood-colored air wave all over his body, quite spectacular.

"Such a strong secret art, it is estimated that there is an increase of about 50% in a short time, but the consumption is also quite large."

A moment later, Lu Zhangsheng put away the secret art.

At this moment, only the cultivation breakthrough to Bone-forging was left.

Only by reaching that step could he truly step into the forest of the strong.

He planned to manipulate the Pangolin to collect spiritual creatures with all his strength to take the final step.

…………

Night, silent as water.

Lu Zhangsheng's mind moved, and he landed inside the Pangolin.

Looking around, it was still bare rocks, and the air was extremely scorching.

The surrounding caves had expanded several times more than before.

The ground was full of Flame Ant eggs, and a large amount of inferior Fire Crystal Stones were placed randomly.

What was even more gratifying was that the Flame Ant colony in front of him had expanded by more than double compared to when he first arrived at the volcanic crater.

Under the feeding of a large amount of Fire Crystal Stones, these exotic beasts finally revealed their fangs and became very fierce.

Over the past few days, he had been digging for Fire Crystal Stones nearby, and the area within the Ant colony's sphere of influence was almost dug clean.

If he wanted his main body to break through, he had to flatten the entire volcanic crater and kill that group of Fire Armor Scorpions.

Otherwise, it would be almost difficult to get Fire Crystal Stones.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and immediately manipulated the Ant Queen.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

As Lu Zhangsheng's order was issued, inside the closed nest, the countless Ant Tribe army immediately began to take action.

The Ant colony rushed toward the outside of the nest in a mighty way, and the momentum was quite astonishing.

Lu Zhangsheng followed in the Ant colony, rushing toward the central volcanic crater all the way.

A large number of exotic beasts around were scared to flee in all directions.

Not long after, the Ant colony encountered a large number of Fire Armor Scorpions.

However, they did not discover the existence of the Scorpion King.

"Boom boom boom..."

In just an instant, the Ant colony killed over in a sky-covering way and soon submerged the Scorpion colony in front.

Lu Zhangsheng followed behind the Ant colony, exploring in front.

Not long after.

On the stone wall on the left, a large cluster of fire-red crystals attracted his attention.

"It is a mid-tier Fire Crystal Stone."

Seeing such a bright red light, Lu Zhangsheng's face was full of joy.

He immediately manipulated the Ant colony to go forward and dig.

Soon, a large cluster of Fire Crystal Stones was sent to his feet.

He picked up the Fire Crystal Stones and began to absorb them crazily.

"Source Energy Point +5"

"Source Energy Point +5"...

Source Energy Points: 100.

Having such a big harvest in a short time made his heart full of motivation.

He immediately manipulated the Ant colony to sweep toward the front.

One hour later.

Lu Zhangsheng looked at the pile of Fire Crystal Stones at his feet, very happy.

Sure enough, the closer to the central area, the more considerable the number of Fire Crystal Stones.

Not long after, he had another harvest.

He began to absorb again.

"Source Energy Point +1"

"Source Energy Point +1"

Source Energy Points: 130.

Just as Lu Zhangsheng finished absorbing the Fire Crystal Stones and was preparing to push forward, a sudden change occurred.

"Boom boom boom..."

He saw a large group of Fire Armor Scorpions killing toward Lu Zhangsheng and the Ant colony in a mighty way, the momentum extremely fierce.

The sky-filling Fire Evil Qi formed around the many Fire Armor Scorpions.

Among them, four Fire Armor Scorpions were several times larger than ordinary Fire Armor Scorpions, their eyes red, staring fiercely at Lu Zhangsheng.

"It is four Scorpion Kings."

Lu Zhangsheng's expression tightened.

The strength of these Scorpion Kings could not be underestimated, and their defensive power was also quite astonishing.

With his soul strength, he could only release Soul Pain three times; it seemed that there would be a bloody battle this time.

However, he did not choose to retreat; these Fire Armor Scorpions were probably the largest Scorpion colony force in the central area of the volcanic crater.

The rest were just sporadic Scorpion colonies, which did not pose much threat.

As long as he killed this large Scorpion colony, then all the crystals in the entire volcanic crater would be in his pocket.

He could not avoid this battle.

Lu Zhangsheng put away his thoughts and immediately rushed up.

The Ant colony also killed toward the Scorpion colony in a mighty way under his manipulation.

"Boom boom boom..."

The two sides collided fiercely, and the huge collision sound resounded through the clouds.

The surrounding air waves rolled, exotic beast corpses flew, and the scene was a mess of flesh and blood.

Even the mountain rocks under his feet were shattered.

Lu Zhangsheng jumped quickly to the front of a Fire Armor Scorpion on the far left and operated the skill 【Soul Pain】.

"Hum..."

A magical fluctuation was transmitted from his mind, turning into a sharp thorn, suddenly rushing into the other party's mind.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

Accompanied by bursts of painful screams, this Fire Armor Scorpion immediately lay on the ground, losing its combat effectiveness.

Lu Zhangsheng took this opportunity to wave a claw forward.

"Clatter..."

The other party's head armor was directly broken, and disgusting liquid scattered on the ground, the smell pungent.

With one strike, a Scorpion King was directly slashed.

This was the strength of a Mountain Spirit.

Although they were both Tier 3 exotic beasts, his Pangolin was undoubtedly the most top-notch existence.

Even if he fought against many, he was not afraid at all.

All of this only happened in an instant.

The attacks of the other three Scorpion Kings also quickly landed on him.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The Scorpion King's tail needle hit Lu Zhangsheng's scales fiercely, sparks flew, and a harsh whistling sound was emitted.

Lu Zhangsheng only felt a slight stinging pain, but it was no big deal.

The other party's full-strength strike only made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Since breaking through to Mountain Spirit, his own defensive power had also increased by a large margin.

Lu Zhangsheng did not hesitate and stimulated 【Soul Pain】 again, stabbing toward a Scorpion King in the middle.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

It was the same method again, killing another Scorpion King.

The remaining two Scorpion Kings saw this, and there was some horror in the depths of their eyes.

However, in the blink of an eye, they became even more violent.

They rushed toward Lu Zhangsheng again, as if they were going to die.

After Lu Zhangsheng issued the innate skill twice in a row, he was quite tired.

This was a manifestation of excessive mental power consumption.

The skill that kills the same level in seconds really consumed a lot.

Although he could still issue a 【Soul Pain】 strike, he would face the exhaustion of mental power, which was quite dangerous.

Naturally, he would not act like this.

Since the other party wanted to fight hand-to-hand, he was not afraid.

With his own scales, the winner would definitely be himself.

Lu Zhangsheng put away his thoughts and immediately rushed up.

"Boom boom boom..."

The two sides fought a bloody battle at the volcanic crater.

The Ant colony also fought with the Scorpion colony all around, and the ground was covered with a large number of corpses.

Various exotic beast body fluids were sprinkled all over the ground, emitting a strange and unpleasant smell.

Because the Ant colony's level was lower than the Scorpion colony, they were at a disadvantage as soon as they fought.

As time passed, the disadvantage became more and more obvious.

However, Lu Zhangsheng was at a great advantage here.

Although he didn't use his innate skills, relying on his own defensive power and sharp claws, he still firmly suppressed the two Scorpion Kings.

Killing the other party was just a matter of time.

Time passed.

After the two sides fought fiercely for half an hour.

Lu Zhangsheng caught a flaw in the other party and stabbed a claw fiercely toward the head of the Scorpion King on the left.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The Scorpion King's head split instantly, and brain juice flowed toward the ground.

Not long after, this Scorpion King lost its breath.

At the same time, a tail needle stabbed onto the scales on Lu Zhangsheng's back again.

After Lu Zhangsheng took this strike hard, he rushed up again.

"Bang bang bang..."

He firmly pressed the other party underneath, and after several attacks, he directly killed the last Scorpion King.

The Scorpion colony saw their own king defeated and retreated backward one after another, like a tide.

Soon they disappeared from the battlefield, leaving only corpses all over the ground.

Lu Zhangsheng manipulated the Ant colony to collect these corpses, preparing to feed the Flame Ant cubs in the future.

These exotic beast meats contained considerable energy and had an excellent effect on the cubs' metamorphosis.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Lu Zhangsheng took the Ant colony to explore forward again.

Not long after.

Another large piece of Fire Crystal Stone came into view.

Lu Zhangsheng's face was full of joy and immediately manipulated the Ant colony to dig it down.
