“It’s you!” Shi Fengzhan’s eyes widened in shock. Oh no, he was merely pretending to deal with the Chunyu family, yet he had actually captured a terrifying figure.
A spark of realization flashed through Shi Fengzhan’s mind as he quickly shouted, “Did you also capture Chunyu Chong?”
“Yes, he’s already dead,” Luo Feng replied with a smile.
“Dead?”
Shi Fengzhan’s face immediately turned grim. If Chunyu Chong was already dead, this person might kill him too. What should he do? His dantian was destroyed, leaving him without primal energy, and his soul was completely suppressed by the terrifying mental power of his opponent. There was no possibility of resistance or even transmitting a message. What should he do?
Shi Fengzhan’s face turned ashen, his mind in chaos.
“How can I avoid being killed?” Shi Fengzhan stared at the young man with black hair. “Tell me, I will definitely do it!”
“Give me ten Blood-Net Crystals, and I won’t kill you,” Luo Feng stood there, smiling. “Can you do that?”
Shi Fengzhan couldn’t help but widen his eyes like copper bells. “Ten Blood-Net Crystals? Even my elder brother wouldn’t be able to produce ten of them. However, I do have one Blood-Net Crystal, and I can give it to you. I beg you, spare my life!” His dantian was destroyed, but he wouldn’t die because the most important thing for a person was the soul.
As long as the soul was intact, the body could recover, and the lost primal energy could be cultivated again.
“No, one is not enough. I must have ten Blood-Net Crystals,” Luo Feng shook his head.
“You’re playing with me!” Shi Fengzhan became anxious and furious.
“Exactly, I’m just toying with you!” Luo Feng said indifferently. “Die!”
Shi Fengzhan immediately roared wildly, “Help!!!” His powerful body made his roar sound like thunder, the shockwaves violently spreading outward. However, the intense sound waves were blocked by an invisible barrier of mental power. The mental power formed a membrane, preventing even a single sound from escaping.
“What’s the use of struggling again?” Luo Feng slapped Shi Fengzhan’s head, channeling primal energy into it, turning his head into a mess.
Shi Fengzhan was dead!
…
“What exactly does a Blood-Net Crystal look like?” Luo Feng glanced at Shi Fengzhan’s corpse and quickly found the spatial storage device on his body. In the absence of banks, almost all cultivators on the Blood-Net Continent placed most of their treasures in spatial devices, wearing them close to their bodies.
Because one’s own body was the safest place.
As long as one was alive, the treasures wouldn’t be lost.
If one died, even if the treasures remained, they would be meaningless!
“A pretty decent spatial ring,” Luo Feng grabbed the ring, and his mental power instantly and forcefully surged into the spatial ring, beginning to search through it.
“Quite wealthy.”
“Far richer than that Thirteen-Axe fellow,” Luo Feng initially wore a smile, but as he searched further, his frown deepened. The spatial ring contained a large amount of expensive knife coins, some precious weapons, and numerous treasures packed into box after box. However, a quick mental scan revealed no Blood-Net Crystals.
He had seen the appearance of Blood-Net Crystals in those general knowledge books.
“It’s impossible for him not to have any. Could it be that it’s not on him? That’s impossible.” Luo Feng searched again carefully, especially focusing on one box of crystals. Inside this box were many crystals, and Luo Feng divided his mental power into thousands of threads, probing each crystal internally. A faint smile appeared on his face.
With a flip of his hand!
A spherical black crystal appeared in his palm. Looking at the black spherical crystal in front of him, Luo Feng shook his head and smiled, “This Shi Fengzhan actually disguised the Blood-Net Crystal and threw it into a box filled with many other crystals. A person with less refined mental power control would really not be able to find it.”
“Zhi zhi~~” The black spherical crystal in his palm was attacked by needle-like mental power, and it began to crack rapidly. Soon, the entire black shell shattered, finally revealing the Blood-Net Crystal inside!
Blood red!
The color of blood, the color of life.
This was a long, triangular prism-shaped crystal, entirely blood red, faintly transparent, and subtly emitting invisible waves, giving the impression of a heartbeat, wave after wave.
“Blood-Net Crystal!” Luo Feng looked at the triangular, elongated, transparent crystal in his hand and couldn’t help but exclaim, “How beautiful!”
Whoosh!
With a wave of his hand, the corpse of Shi Fengzhan lying on the ground vanished without a trace, and at the same time, the blood on the ground and the bloody smell in the palace also dissipated.
“Good, this way no one will know that Shi Fengzhan is already dead for a while,” Luo Feng smiled. “Probably, they would think Shi Fengzhan has gone somewhere.” It was very normal for cultivators to suddenly retreat for cultivation or disappear for a year or two before returning. Even if Shi Fengzhan was a general, disappearing for three to five days wouldn’t raise suspicion.
Swoosh!
Luo Feng transformed into a hazy phantom, directly shooting out from the window, instantly reaching hundreds of kilometers away.
The entire palace was silent.
The soldiers, maids, and guards inside the general’s mansion had no idea that their general was already dead.
…
When Luo Feng killed Shi Fengzhan and obtained the Blood-Net Crystal.
At the Yan Gang territory’s city lord mansion.
“Come, drink!”
“Haha, Shi Feng, my junior brother, it’s been many years since we last met. You’ve become a lord of a territory. I, your senior brother, am truly delighted. Drink! Drink!” In the center of the living room, a group of charming dancing girls were performing, while three men were laughing heartily as they drank together. One of them was Shi Fengxiong, the highest authority in Yan Gang territory, the city lord.
The other two were dressed in silver-gray uniforms.
“Senior brother, I’m just a territory lord. How can I compare to you? You’ve entered the Immortal Temple and become a special envoy. No matter where in our continent, who dares not to give you face?” Shi Fengxiong laughed heartily.
“It’s just a messenger’s job,” the handsome middle-aged man smiled.
“Senior brother, you and Special Envoy Mo, why did you rush back from the temple?” Shi Fengxiong asked curiously.
The handsome middle-aged man exchanged a glance with the other envoy, Mo, who then spoke, “Brother Shi Feng, it’s not that we don’t want to tell you, but the temple has its rules, and we dare not violate them. Actually, we came back mainly for your master, the World Lord. As for anything else, we cannot say more.”
“Since it’s about your master, I was assigned to come back with Old Mo. Passing by your place, of course, I had to meet my junior brother,” the handsome middle-aged man smiled.
“I’ve missed my senior brother too,” Shi Fengxiong sighed. “Speaking of which…”
…
As Shi Fengxiong chatted animatedly with his two friends, he had no idea that his younger brother had already perished.
…
In the wilderness thicket thirty thousand kilometers away from Yan Gang territory, Luo Feng sat.
“One Blood-Net Crystal!”
Luo Feng held the Blood-Net Crystal, staring at this incredibly magical crystal. “The first-level dangerous task is to obtain one Blood-Net Crystal, which rewards ten thousand points. I can use it to exchange for points or integrate it into my body.”
“How should I use it?”
“Without a doubt!” Luo Feng grinned, his fingers slicing across his left palm like a blade.
Hiss!
A wound was cut open, and bright red blood flowed along the wound. Luo Feng took a deep breath and placed the triangular prism-shaped Blood-Net Crystal on the wound. This was the method of integrating the Blood-Net Crystal described in books. During his time in Yan Gang City, Luo Feng had also heard others discussing it, and this method was well known to almost everyone on the Blood-Net Continent.
The method was simple, but execution was difficult!
“Difficult, huh?” Luo Feng looked at his palm.
The beautiful, dazzling Blood-Net Crystal touched the wound, and especially when the blood came into contact with the Blood-Net Crystal, a strange invisible energy suddenly burst forth from the crystal, like a world-class ferocious beast that had been suppressed for a long time rushing into Luo Feng’s body. Luo Feng, who had been sitting there confidently, suddenly changed expression, his face contorting.
“Damn it!” Luo Feng gritted his teeth.
Boom!
An incredibly fierce will descended, directly merging into Luo Feng’s consciousness sea.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Countless cries of slaughter echoed in his consciousness sea. The incredibly fierce and violent will clashed repeatedly with Luo Feng’s own will. This was a pure test of will… Will and consciousness were different. Consciousness depended on the thickness and strength of mental power, while will was purely a result of personal belief.
The will of an apprentice-level warrior could still be more terrifying than that of a Monarch!
“Is this kind of will trying to conquer me?” A voice echoed in Luo Feng’s consciousness sea. “Turn it all to ashes!”
Boom!
Luo Feng’s formidable will transformed into a colossal mountain, directly crushing the incoming wills into dust. As he crushed them, Luo Feng was also puzzled: “Mental pressure, mental pressure… it’s usually the mind that attacks. How can a pure will penetrate my body? How strange? Oh no!”
“Boom~” At the same time that the will was crushed, the true and fundamental strange power within the Blood-Net Crystal erupted. Threads of red light shot wildly into Luo Feng’s body from the crystal.
Luo Feng’s body involuntarily trembled.
His facial muscles twitched uncontrollably; his skin surface alternated between forming a carapace and breaking open with blood. His arms swelled violently, and countless blood vessels alternated between becoming absolutely transparent, like crystal tubes, and turning pure golden. His muscles changed continuously.
Pain!
Pain beyond the extreme!
“What’s going on? What exactly is this Blood-Net Crystal?” Luo Feng roared inwardly. He felt his entire body’s temperature instantly reach an inconceivable high, as if he were about to be burned to ashes. But in an instant, it dropped to an astonishing low, freezing him to the point of no longer feeling his own body.
Hiss hiss~~ Luo Feng’s fingernails slowly extended like metallic claws. Then they rapidly retracted, and at the same time, his ten fingers mutated, even the bones inside changed, transforming his hands into hoof-like claws, and hair slowly grew out.
Not just his fingers, but his arms, legs, feet, and face also grew black hair. In a short while, Luo Feng had turned into a hairy man.
But a few minutes later, these hairs quickly retracted and disappeared.
Hiss hiss~~
Countless black scales emerged from Luo Feng’s arms, fingers, legs, feet, and even his face, and his entire body became stronger and taller.
“What the heck is this Blood-Net Crystal? Oh my god!” Even with his vivid imagination, Luo Feng had never expected such a thing to happen. And the process of fusing with the Blood-Net Crystal was still ongoing…
