Chapter 173

Sea of Fire Technique!

Hong~

Blazing flames shot up from the scorched black earth underfoot, instantly covering the entire battlefield.

Several thousand demon soldiers, together with squad leaders, centurions, and commanders, were instantly slain before this terrifying crimson blaze, not even having time to scream.

The Lich boss stood at the camp gate, just outside the sea of fire, fortunately escaping death.

Seeing his several thousand subordinates vanish in an instant, leaving only the camp and a few dozen soldiers on the watchtower, he froze.

"\"How... how is this possible! \"" Keep quotes.

"\"One move killed several thousand demon troops—what kind of power is this? \"" Keep.

"\"Among them were several commandant‑level champions, quite strong! \"" Keep.

"\"Even a level‑250 demon marshal couldn't do something this terrifying! \"" Keep.

"What did you do!" he glared at Xiao Feng, speaking harshly but feeling weak inside.

"At the same time he waved his bone staff, a huge bone dragon was summoned from behind him and flew toward Xiao Feng." Keep.

"\"What did I do? I just cast a Sea of Fire Technique—can't you see it? \" Xiao Feng shrugged innocently." Keep.

"In that single second, his information page refreshed with several thousand messages." Keep.

His battlefield contributions and points surged instantly, instantly surpassing Jian Zan Cang Sheng to reach 29,000 points, topping the individual scoreboard on the Ashen Plains Zhan Chang.

His four teammates—Old Zhang, Xing Yun Miao, Dun Dun, and Mang Mei—shared all the contributions, instantly gaining 15,000 war contributions, equivalent to receiving a free level‑75 mythic item.

"The team members also received the rare epic and legendary boss contribution rewards, benefiting greatly." Keep.

"But the boss was unaware of any of this." Keep.

"The Lich boss directed the bone dragon to attack while releasing a dark spell." Keep.

Xiao Feng glanced at the boss and bone dragon's info, smirked contemptuously, and said, "Really just a weak chicken."

"【Abyssal Demon General — Lich Patro (Mythic Leader)】" Keep brackets.

"Level: 200" Keep.

"HP: 23,000,000/23,000,000" Keep.

"【Legendary Bone Dragon (Lich Patro's summoned beast)】" Keep.

"Level: 200" Keep.

"HP: 8,750,000/8,750,000" Keep.

To Xiao Feng, that HP is basically just a basic attack level—he could kill it with a casual strike.

"However, to give the boss some face and let him die with dignity, Xiao Feng still unleashed his ultimate." Keep.

"\"Ice Arrow! \"" Keep.

Xu~

"A thick purple ice arrow, as wide as a thigh, tore through the air and struck the Lich boss's chest." Keep.

"The boss tried to dodge sideways, but the ice arrow is a homing skill; a small shift cannot evade it, only an instantaneous long‑range position swap could possibly avoid it." Keep.

"With a soft 'pa', the ice arrow struck the black robe." Keep.

A massive 298 million damage floated up slowly.

"The Lich boss's form instantly dissipated into smoke, turning into a red Abyssal Demon Essence and a red book, which dropped." Keep.

"【You defeated the Abyssal Lich General, gaining shared EXP +3,918,000, War Contribution +37,500, War Points +37,500.】" Need to keep numbers exactly: +3918000, +37500, +37500. We'll keep without commas? The source had no commas. We'll output "+3918000", "+37500", "+37500". Good.

"A notification appeared on the info pages of the 50‑person team; everyone's contributions surged, equivalent to receiving another two free level‑75 mythic items." Keep.

Xiao Feng's personal points instantly jumped to over 60,000—nearly double Jian Zan Cang Sheng's score.

The surrounding legion members lying on the ground, within 500 meters, also gained a 30% contribution bonus, each getting over 10,000 points, grinning from ear to ear.

"Awesome! 11,250 contribution points—enough to exchange for a full set of level‑75 legendary gear!"

"Xiao Feng, you're awesome! We love you forever!!"

"\"This death wasn't in vain; after listening to Xiao Feng's endless chatter for ten‑plus minutes, we finally got something back. \"" Keep.

"Everyone felt satisfied; some returned to the fortress to respawn, while others continued lying on the ground, waiting for Xiao Feng to pull them up one by one." Keep.

"【War Zone Announcement: Player \"Xiao Feng\" first‑killed the Abyssal Zhan Chang 200‑level mythic leader, earning honor reward—100,000 War Contribution!】" Need to keep numbers: 100000. We'll say "100,000". Good.

"【War Zone Announcement……】" Keep ellipsis.

"【War Zone Announcement……】" Same.

The death of the 200‑level Abyssal Demon General also triggered a war zone announcement; Xiao Feng's name appeared again in the view of Blue Star players.

"Seeing this announcement, many felt mixed emotions." Keep.

"Jian Zan Cang Sheng, who was idly doing quests in the Main City, couldn't help but sigh." Keep.

"……" Keep ellipsis.

"Old Xiao! Red intel, grab it quick!" Li Li shouted.

"When the Lich general was slain, it dropped mythic‑quality Abyssal Demon Essence and a piece of red intel." Keep.

"Xiao Feng noticed it too; without pausing to help his fallen teammates, he rushed forward to pick it up." Keep.

"【Secret Information】: Red quality, submitting it to the fortress guard officer yields 3,125 war contributions and grants a crucial piece of intel that could change the battle." Need to keep numbers: 3125. We'll say "3,125". Good.

"The item info came into view." Keep.

"Xiao Feng frowned upon seeing it, thinking, \"This means it must be turned in to an NPC; I can't use it myself. \"" Keep.

"\"Blue‑quality items can be used directly, but I didn't expect red‑quality to be unusable. \"" Keep.

"\"Judging by the description, this intel seems to trigger a large‑scale NPC army campaign; its value is still high. \"" Keep.

He shared the item info in the team channel, then took out a resurrection scroll and lifted Xing Yun Miao, Li Li, and the other priests.

After being revived, the person again pulled up the surrounding teammates and comrades one by one.

Soon after, over a hundred people around them all got up.

"Xiao Feng, little brother, what do you say now—should we keep moving forward, or go back to turn in the mythic intelligence?" Torch Dragon asked.

Xiao Feng's hand held not only red-quality intelligence, but also several blue ones.

This time they killed many monsters, and the total number of intelligence pieces obtained was forty or fifty.

Although most of them were white or green fragmented intelligence that couldn't be used, the blue ones could be used to guide the way.

There was even one purple 【a piece of major intelligence】, and no one knew what kind of information it could provide.

Xiao Feng replied: "I have a mission to infiltrate the enemy's main base and steal a military map; I don't plan to go back for now. If any of you want to return, you can go turn in the intelligence, and if that triggers further combat, just bring me along."

The intelligence from the battlefield can only trigger battles of various scales.

The red ones might possibly draw out a mythic-level boss—others couldn't fight it even if they wanted to—but as long as the information is in place, he can ride the Thunder God to provide aerial support at any time, which is enough; there's no need to personally return to turn it in.

A mere 3,125 contribution points, he didn't care about.

Nobody responded.

Xiao Feng didn't care about the several thousand contribution points, but others treated them as precious treasures!

But… following Xiao Feng to leech contribution points feels even better!

If they ran back, they'd not only lose a lot of combat contribution points, but also waste time—over an hour round trip—and nobody wants to make another run!

After a while, a voice came from behind the crowd.

Mang Mei said: "Xiao Feng, big brother, if nobody wants to go back, could you give me the intelligence? I need to achieve the intelligence-submission target in my mission…"

Everyone looked at her.

Mang Mei is usually quiet, rarely speaking up, especially when there are many people.

When she's not speaking, many people unconsciously overlook this team member's existence.

Xiao Feng also, upon hearing this, remembered that she had a mythic-level legion mission to complete.

The ultimate goal of her mission is to assist the "War God First Legion" in defeating the opposing "Blood Rose Legion."

The metrics for completing the mission are divided into three major items: enemy-kill contribution, intelligence contribution, and number of leaders slain.

A single piece of red intelligence is a great help to her.

"Fine, then I'll give it to you." Xiao Feng didn't care about the value of the red intelligence; a few thousand contribution points were trivial to him, so he handed it directly to Mang Mei.

She received it into her pack, gratefully saying, "Thanks, I'll head back first."

"What's the rush? Let's grind a bit longer."

Xiao Feng smiled, took out the purple intelligence, and used it up directly.
