Chapter 22 Domination of the Sky
The crimson sword light tore through the earth, carrying immense force and terrifying downward momentum, and accurately struck the goblin shaman.
"boom!!!"
Amidst the deafening explosion, dirt and gravel flew in all directions, and the shockwave spread out in a ring, sending some unlucky goblins flying without being able to dodge.
Immediately afterwards, the [Crack] effect caused secondary damage to the ground, and dark purple energy cracks spread across the cracked earth!
It seemed to have a life of its own, devouring living things.
At the center of the smoke and dust, a large crater appeared.
Shaman?
There was no place for it on the ground anymore; only the still-wriggling mass of flesh and broken bones proved that it had once existed.
Lu Qingfeng landed steadily, and the surging blood energy on his sword subsided.
Although the force of the Cloud Ladder Leap itself was deflected, the force of the fall still caused his breathing to become slightly disordered.
However, I quickly adjusted using breathing techniques.
That attack just now must have taken a toll on him, but its power was impressive.
So, a falling attack is also a type of heavy blow, Lu Qingfeng thought to himself as he looked at the purple light spreading across the ground.
"roar!"
The four goblin bears, who were almost adorably silly, finally realized what was happening and launched a rescue-style charge against Lu Qingfeng.
What have you all been protecting?.jpg
"Honestly, I almost forgot about you guys."
Lu Qingfeng casually twirled his sword, intending to expertly crush the four goblins.
Reason stopped him.
"Oh right, I came here to practice my swordsmanship. Fine, I'll let you off this time."
After beating the four potentially troublesome big bears to near death, he also killed the little goblins who might get in the way.
Lu Qingfeng arrived at the altar and hammered open the door leading to the tunnel.
However, he did not act rashly and took out a [Secondary Concentration Potion] from his backpack.
The crystal bottle contained a pale purple, viscous liquid that emitted a refreshing, minty scent.
He pulled out the cork, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
A refreshing coolness instantly slid into my throat, quickly spreading throughout my limbs and finally rushing to the top of my head.
You have used a minor calming potion.
You have obtained a temporary status.
Your spirit has been soothed, your resistance to mental erosion has slightly increased, and your mental focus has improved.
"This guy is really pure!"
Lu Qingfeng's spirits lifted.
It was worth the money!
After checking, the [Spiritual Amulet] was securely on my person.
Lu Qingfeng no longer hesitated and fixed his gaze firmly on the entrance to the secret passage.
Breathing becomes heavy, and the breathing technique drives a second surge of blood and qi within the body.
Inspired by this, tyranny resurfaced in my mind. What mental erosion? Let them talk to me about my attacks.
Lu Qingfeng leaped into the air.
The mountain fell twice.
Like a meteorite, it crushed the first wave of traps that appeared.
Subsequently, the shockwaves generated by the second attack spread outwards, shaking out all the hidden animal traps on the ground.
The passage was deep and dark, barely illuminated only by the pale green glow of unknown moss.
The ground and walls were piled with and inlaid with countless strange and grotesque skeletons.
"It looks just like a graveyard!"
The eerie scenery only fueled Lu Qingfeng's interest, and he continued rushing into the passage without stopping.
Through practice, he became intimately familiar with all the traps here.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"
These are bone spears that come out from the side; they're like speed bumps, they can't break through defenses, at most they'll just waste a little time.
But Lu Qingfeng didn't want to waste time, so he used a ladder-like leap to cross over directly.
He was like a highly efficient and violent precision machine, steadily advancing through the secret passages teeming with death traps.
…………
Finally, the passage came to an end.
Ahead, the view suddenly opened up to reveal a huge underground cave.
In the center of the cave, a moon emitting an ominous dark red light floated in mid-air, pulsating slowly.
The dark red light, like viscous blood, flowed throughout the cave, illuminating the countless twisted phantoms of the dead struggling and wailing in agony below.
They were bound by the power of the red moon, becoming its nourishment and barrier.
It is the wails and resentments of these departed souls that create a terrifying mental shock, like steel needles attempting to pierce the soul of the intruder.
Directly below the red moon, a huge and complex dark red magic circle was engraved on the ground.
At the core of the magic circle, a twisted and grotesque heart made of pure shadow energy resonates with the red moon in the sky.
The true damage beam that caused him so much suffering last time was activated by this core!
With his gaze fixed on the red heart ahead, the red sword light condensed once more on the towering mountain.
This time, because his mental defenses were very strong, his mind was not greatly affected (probably), which allowed Lu Qingfeng to launch an attack directly.
The heavy sword slashed through the air!
As expected, this triggered the defense mechanism.
The oncoming beam of light was almost impossible to avoid, but he never intended to avoid it completely.
The "Intercept" ability has been activated again.
Using the momentum of leaping across the clouds, his figure tilted to meet the beam of light.
"Hiss!"
Lu Qingfeng's left arm was instantly ripped open with a large gash, but the strange heart was also heavily struck by a sword.
What followed was another round of back and forth, the details of which are best left unsaid to outsiders.
After finally managing to defeat the goblin who had recovered from the power of the red moon, he was about to rush into the tunnel to take revenge.
Then a human covered in wounds, looking like a demon, rushed out and grabbed him, using him as a free punching bag.
………………
"Jolyne, where did you get your food from? It doesn't seem to be from a nearby shop."
Lu Qingfeng showed off a bite of the food that Xu Lun had packed, which seemed rather strange.
Logically speaking, he has been to restaurants within a 10-kilometer radius. How could someone who can make this kind of food open a shop in this remote corner?
Jolyne was also enjoying her meal, but she didn't forget to answer the boss's question:
"A new store has opened a few hundred meters down the street from our door, and they're having a new store promotion."
"Well done, kid..."
Despite this, Lu Qingfeng was still very interested in that restaurant.
It's quite rare to find food containing natural energy.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Qingfeng sent Xu Lun to work the night shift.
Then I summarized the sponsorship from the adorable goblins.
