Chapter 75 Battle of the Corpse King
As the purplish-black corpse mist dissipated, a colossal corpse, three zhang tall, stood in the center of the funnel!
Its entire body was covered in dark purple lividity, its skin was cracked, and thick, dark green bodily fluid flowed from the cracks.
Half of the head's cheek was completely rotten, revealing a pale white cheekbone, while in the other intact eye socket, a ghostly blue soul fire flickered, radiating a cold and violent emotion.
With a flick of its arms, the remaining chains binding its body snapped and turned to dust.
The Yin energy around him surged like living things, condensing into countless twisted phantoms of vengeful spirits, emitting mournful shrieks.
[Encountering an Enemy: A Hundred-Year-Old Corpse King (Seal Loosening - Leader Level)]
【Characteristics: Haunted by vengeful spirits, Corpse Fiend Domain, Immortal Body (Pseudo)】
"roar!"
The Corpse King roared to the sky, its voice carrying the corpse energy accumulated over a century, crashing down as if it were a tangible force!
The rocks on the four walls of the cave were peeling off in a rustling sound, and the entire pit was trembling.
Lu Qingfeng's mind was shaken. His blood and qi, which had been gathering strength, were suddenly disturbed and were about to go berserk. Fortunately, the blood and qi furnace exerted its power and brought back the raging blood and qi.
"Such a strong sense of resentment!"
It was at this moment that the Corpse King moved!
In a flash, the Corpse King had already crossed ten zhang, and its giant claw, as big as a fan, brought down with a stench!
The claws tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek.
This beast has such strong combat intelligence; he actually seized the moment when Lu Qingfeng was silent to launch an attack.
But who was Lu Qingfeng? He gathered his qi and blood in his right fist, unleashing a burst of hidden strength, and slammed it towards the giant claw!
"clang!"
Their fists and claws clashed, producing a metallic clang!
Lu Qingfeng felt a tremendous force coming from him, and the bluestone ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch. He was forced to be pressed three inches into the ground!
"His strength... is at least a hundred times that of an ordinary person!"
Lu Qingfeng made a rough estimate of the Corpse King's power in his mind, and it turned out to be comparable to his own unleashed form. Therefore, he suffered a hidden loss at this moment.
A mocking glint flashed in the Corpse King's crimson eyes, as if he were laughing at the overestimation of the insignificant human before him. His left claw swept across, bringing with it a black corpse aura that lashed out like a whip!
Lu Qingfeng twisted his waist to dodge, and the corpse energy whip grazed his shoulder, tearing his plain silk Taoist robe and leaving three charred claw marks on his skin, which stung painfully.
[You have been attacked by corpse poison... Toxin resistance check in progress... Check failed... Constitution attribute check in progress... Check successful!]
The damage result for this incident was: trace amount.
"Corpse poison?" Lu Qingfeng frowned, a slight numbness coming from the wound on his shoulder.
Now, with the Blood and Qi Furnace in existence, a slight operation is all it takes to refine the invading corpse poison instantly. "A mere trick! You wouldn't dare show off your meager skills before an expert!"
Lu Qingfeng immediately roared, and the thunderous sound of tigers and leopards exploded from his internal organs, his blood and qi soaring into the sky like smoke from a wolf's gallop.
Liberation Form - 70%!
Who cares about energy consumption? Winning means you'll make a profit! All the energy for the event will be paid for by the buffet owner!
Lu Qingfeng's terrifying figure rose again, dark red patterns moving like living things. He threw a punch, the fist wind tearing through the corpse energy, aiming straight for the Corpse King's face!
boom!
The Corpse King crossed its arms to block, and the shockwave exploded, sending it back dozens of meters, each step leaving a deep crater in the ground.
But the Corpse King didn't care at all. He roared to the sky, and the broken chains around his body hummed. The Yin energy of the earth veins surged into his body like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea!
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
From the shadows of the pit walls, countless corpse energies transformed into black spears, raining down on Lu Qingfeng!
Lu Qingfeng didn't care about this or that; offense is the best defense. He unleashed his Cloud Ladder Leap, his figure shooting towards the Corpse King like an arrow released from a bow, with endless armor-piercing power surging from his hands.
The fist focused on a single point, tearing through the rain of spears, and thrust straight at the Corpse King's chest!
Fast! Too fast! It's incredibly fast!
There was no time for the Corpse King to react; it could only let the fist pound into its chest!
"Pfft!" The force of the punch penetrated the body, causing the Corpse King's chest to cave in and black blood to spurt out.
But its scarlet eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity, and its arms locked Lu Qingfeng's arms tightly like iron hoops!
It wasn't that I couldn't react; it was a deliberate trap!
"This is bad!"
Lu Qingfeng felt as if a tremendous force of ten thousand pounds was pressing down on his arms, making him unable to move.
The Corpse King opened its massive maw, and dense corpse energy, like a black hole, sucked in and blasted directly at him.
At the critical moment, Lu Qingfeng's dantian roared, and his flesh-and-blood furnace was fully activated!
"Meteor!"
Lu Qingfeng's blood and qi surged like a dragon, and his bones roared like dragons and tigers, forcefully breaking free from his restraints!
At the same time, his left knee shot towards the Corpse King's jaw like a crimson meteor!
"Snap!"
The cracking sound is clearly audible!
The Corpse King's head tilted back, and several chains snapped.
But the Corpse King was even more ferocious. It twisted its head at an odd angle and slammed its head into Lu Qingfeng's face!
"Bang!"
Lu Qingfeng was sent flying several meters away. "That felt great! Now that's what I call a real fight!"
"Have you had enough, little brat? Now it's my turn!"
"Warm-up... is almost over!"
Lu Qingfeng's blood and qi surged like never before, and the dark red lines on his body shone like branding irons.
Unleashed Form - 120% - Super Limit - Burning Life Form!
It turned out that he had another epiphany during the battle, and learned how to push himself to the limit to maximize his output.
The four-meter-tall blood-red body stood tall, and the smoke and flames soared into the sky, burning a large hole in the dark, malevolent mist at the top of the pit!
The Corpse King roared furiously, pounding his chest with both arms. The Yin energy around him condensed into a hundred-foot-tall phantom that blotted out the sky!
"Die! Die! Die!"
The vengeful ghost slammed down with its palm, causing the entire pit to shake violently and the huge rock at the top to crash down!
"Fuck you!"
Lu Qingfeng didn't tolerate him and unleashed both fists towards the sky!
Let's call this punch the Mighty Bull Demon Fist.
"Boom!"
When fists and palms collide, the air waves explode in a ring!
The walls of the pit were peeled away like tofu, and the ground at the bottom cracked, revealing a deep crevice below!
The aftershocks of their fight completely shattered the century-old grudge-ridden mass grave!
Amidst the rubble and dust, two figures, one above and one below, burst through the top of the pit and shot straight into the sky above the mass grave!
Under the sky, the Corpse King was surrounded by vengeful ghosts and phantoms, their claws outstretched. Lu Qingfeng's blood and qi surged like a crimson dragon, entangled and locked in fierce combat!
On the mass grave, tombs collapsed, ancient trees were uprooted, and the ground was plowed into crisscrossing gullies.
The array barrier set up by Daoist Xuanchen fluctuated violently and was shattered by the aftershocks of the battle.
"Senior's divine might!" Master Xuan Chen stared in disbelief, and the compass in his hand cracked open with a "crack".
Zhao Tiezhu and the others had already collapsed to the ground, staring at the two inhuman beings in the air, forgetting even to breathe.
In the air, Lu Qingfeng and the Corpse King had already exchanged hundreds of blows.
The Corpse King, relying on his boundless Yin energy, made every move ruthless; Lu Qingfeng, relying on his strong physical body, delivered blows with deadly accuracy.
But Lu Qingfeng gradually discovered that every time the Corpse King was injured, it could draw Yin energy from the earth's veins to recover.
If this continues, Lu Qingfeng's life cannot withstand such burning, and the outcome is probably unpredictable.
"We must finish this quickly!" Lu Qingfeng scanned the Corpse King in front of him with his senses again and again, and finally locked onto a faint black light in the Corpse King's abdominal cavity. That was the Corpse King's energy core, and the source of its confidence in mobilizing Yin Sha Qi.
"That's it!"
He lowered his aura for a moment, creating an opening.
The Corpse King fell for the trap as expected, tearing through the sky with its giant claws!
Lu Qingfeng lowered his head to avoid vital points, letting the claws slash his shoulder.
At the same time, he used his right hand as a claw to precisely grab the head of the Corpse King, forcing it to stand still.
"Break!"
His left fist, sharp as a drill, slammed into the dark light in the Corpse King's abdomen.
"Snap!"
The energy core shattered!
The Corpse King let out a mournful howl, and its malevolent aura dissipated like a tidal wave.
Deprived of its power source, the Corpse King's massive body plummeted from the sky, smashing a huge crater into the mass grave.
It struggled to get up, but black energy surged wildly from the hole in its chest, and its life force rapidly diminished.
Lu Qingfeng landed and strode towards the giant pit.
He looked down at the dying corpse king in the pit, grinning to reveal his blood-stained fangs:
"You look so disheveled after just a few minutes! Let's begin the meal!"
With a single breath, the Corpse King's remains transformed into a stream of light and were completely swallowed.
[Target's health is below 15%! Feast check in progress... Check successful!]
Your physical condition far surpasses the power of your goals!
[Detection successful! Target has been captured!]
[Warning: The target life level is too high; the digestion process is uncertain! Continue?]
"Keep going! I want to see if your century-old corpse is harder, or my stomach!"
Lu Qingfeng's eyes flashed with murderous intent. How dare the food resist?
The Qi and Blood Furnace stopped supplying energy to the body and focused all its efforts on supporting the stomach.
The Corpse King let out a final, unwilling roar. Its massive body was forcibly stretched into a pancake shape, and finally transformed into a dark green stream of light, which was absorbed into Lu Qingfeng's stomach!
Within the stomach sac, the remaining consciousness of the Corpse King surged wildly, with Yin energy and resentment churning like a tide, attempting to backfire!
[Digesting... Encountering strong resistance!]
[High concentration of resentment and malevolent energy detected...purifying in progress...]
Purification successful! A massive amount of pure Yin energy has been obtained!
Digestion complete!
[You have successfully used [Feast] to devour and digest the Hundred-Year-Old Corpse King (Leader-level)!]
[Passive growth effect triggered!]
[Feast Level +1 (Saved, to be activated after Life Level is consolidated)]
[Judgment in progress... Judgment successful! This absorption yielded a special reward:]
[You have gained the passive trait [Wraith Resistance]: Greatly increased resistance to effects such as mental pollution and resentment corruption!]
[You have obtained the following materials: Core of the Hundred-Year-Old Corpse King (Purple) *1, Undying Corpse Bone (Blue) *3]
[Skill cooldown time has been fully refunded!]
[Note: The energy absorbed this time was too enormous and has been automatically converted into a +30% increase in life level consolidation progress.]
Lu Qingfeng let out a long sigh of relief, and the surging blood and qi around his body gradually calmed down. However, the flesh and blood furnace still needed some time to cool down.
That's good, otherwise he would have to rely on the Yellow Millet Dream to force himself to commit suicide once to refresh the cooldown.
Corpse King, destroyed!
