System prompts flashed wildly in his mind, and Lin Feng's crit points accumulated at a terrifying speed.

After walking for about half an hour, Huang Fugui suddenly stopped, all its yellow fur standing on end.

"Master, it's... it's just ahead! That cold and hard aura is coming from that largest cave!"

It pointed to a huge natural cave ahead, its voice trembling.

Lin Feng looked up and saw that at the entrance of the cave, black mist swirled, and resentment was almost condensed into liquid form, flowing slowly on the ground.

And in that dense resentment, there was also an extremely heavy corpse aura mixed in.

"Vengeful spirits nurturing corpses, what a grand undertaking."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed; he had already guessed what was inside.

Ordinary zombies are formed when corpses absorb the yin energy of the earth's veins.

Zombies nurtured by the resentment of a massive number of vengeful spirits are called "vengeful spirit zombies," which are far more ferocious and difficult to deal with than ordinary zombies of the same rank.

"You wait outside."

Lin Feng commanded, carrying his saber, and stepped into the black mist.

As soon as he entered the cave, the scene before him opened up.

It was a huge underground space, as large as several football fields. Countless crystals that shone with a dim light hung upside down from the cave's ceiling, illuminating the area with a ghastly green light.

On the ground of the cave, hundreds of "living corpses" wearing tattered miner's clothes stood densely packed!

Their skin was dark green, their eye sockets burned with eerie green ghost fire, their bodies were stiff, but their nails were as sharp as knives. They let out low "ho ho" growls, like a silent and terrifying army.

And in the center of this army of living corpses, a huge black stone coffin, about ten feet long, was placed!

The stone coffin was covered with twisted and strange runes, and streams of pure resentment and corpse aura were continuously absorbed into it like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

"Corpse Nurturing Coffin!"

Lin Feng instantly recognized the item.

This was a sinister artifact used by evil cultivators to mass-produce and cultivate high-level zombies!

It seemed that the Weeping Ghost Mine was not a naturally formed fierce land at all, but a man-made "farm" set up to cultivate powerful zombies!

"Roar!"

Lin Feng's intrusion as a living person instantly broke the peace here.

The hundreds of living corpses seemed to have received some kind of order, and they all turned their heads in unison, their hollow, ghost-fire eyes locking onto Lin Feng.

The next second.

"Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!"

Uniform footsteps sounded, and hundreds of living corpses charged towards Lin Feng like a tide!

The ground trembled slightly under the impact, and the corpse aura that rushed at him was enough to make any Meridian Opening Realm martial artist feel suffocated.

"Finally, some decent opponents have arrived."

A joyful smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.

He gripped the saber in his hand, pouring the True Qi of the ninth level of Meridian Opening Realm, complete, into it without reservation!

"Seven Fiends Saber Technique, Fourth Stance, Fiendish Mountain Split!"

He did not choose to dodge but met the tide of corpses head-on and slashed out with his saber!

[45x Crit Triggered!]

"Boom!"

A blood-red saber energy, more than ten feet long and condensed to the extreme, shot out from the tip of the saber!

The saber energy was domineering and unparalleled, as if it could split the mountains in front of it in two. Carrying rolling fiendish energy, it fiercely slashed into the tide of corpses!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

There were no screams, only the sound of a sharp blade cutting into rotten wood.

Dozens of living corpses at the forefront, in front of this terrifying saber energy, were as fragile as paper, instantly cut in half, with limbs and broken bodies flying everywhere!

The power of one saber strike was terrifying!

However, these living corpses were fearless of death, and the subsequent tide of corpses trampled on the remains of their companions and continued to surge forward madly.

Lin Feng's gaze remained unchanged, his body flickered, and he transformed into a blood-red whirlwind shuttling through the tide of corpses.

His saber turned into a death scythe that reaped lives. Every swing brought up large swaths of blood and severed limbs.

Under the siege of hundreds of living corpses, his figure not only showed no signs of being flustered but instead appeared to be at ease, as if performing a bloody and magnificent dance.

This was a massacre without suspense.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, silence returned to the cave.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of limbs and broken bodies, and the stench of corpse blood formed streams.

Those hundreds of living corpses had all been slaughtered by Lin Feng alone with his saber!

[System Notification: Successfully killed Second-Order Vengeful Spirit Zombie x378!] [Crit Multiplier increased to 55x! Obtained 37800 Crit Points!]

Lin Feng stood in the center of a sea of corpses, flicking away nonexistent bloodstains from his saber. His gaze fell upon a massive black stone coffin.

"Now, it's your turn."

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Heavy, powerful impacts echoed from within the black stone coffin, each one louder and more urgent than the last.

The entire cavern trembled with each impact.

A terrifying corpse aura, far exceeding any previous Vengeful Spirit Zombies and filled with extreme ferocity and dominance, leaked madly from the cracks in the stone coffin!

"Crack—"

Finally, after a deafening roar, the heavy coffin lid was blasted open from the inside by an immense force, smashing into the distant stone wall and shattering into pieces.

A tall figure slowly sat up from within the coffin.

It was a giant zombie, nine feet tall!

Its entire body was covered in a layer of dark golden, keratinous skin, as if clad in natural armor. Its muscles were knotted, exuding an explosive sense of power.

Its eyes were no longer the common green ghost fire of ordinary zombies, but two burning, flickering, lava-like crimson flames!

"Roar—!!!"

It raised its head and let out a terrifying roar that was not human, its sound waves rolling, causing stalactites to fall from the cave ceiling!

A Third-Order Demon—the Golden Corpse King!

Its strength was comparable to a peak True Qi Realm human martial artist!

"Finally out, huh?"

Lin Feng looked at the awe-inspiring Corpse King. Far from showing any fear, his eyes flashed with a burning fighting spirit.

Having reached the peak of the ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, he needed a worthy opponent to test his current strength!

The Golden Corpse King slowly lowered its head, its crimson flame pupils locking onto Lin Feng.

It could sense that this tiny human before it contained a supremely potent and yang Blood Essence that it found extremely repulsive and threatening.

"Kill!"

A cold, brutal intent exploded directly in Lin Feng's mind.

The next second, the Golden Corpse King moved!

Its figure left an afterimage in its place. Its seemingly clumsy body erupted with terrifying speed, completely disproportionate to its size, instantly covering dozens of meters to appear before Lin Feng!

Its giant claws, shimmering with metallic luster, carried a fierce wind that tore through the air, slashing viciously towards Lin Feng's crown!

The power of this claw strike was enough to split stone. An ordinary True Qi Realm martial artist would likely meet their end on the spot if struck.

"Good!"

Lin Feng advanced instead of retreating. His saber let out an excited hum!

He didn't choose to clash head-on. Instead, he stepped on the Flowing Wind Steps, his body sliding sideways like a phantom, narrowly dodging the fatal blow.

The Corpse King's claws missed, slamming into the ground. The hard rock surface was gouged out by a deep, half-meter-wide claw print, sending gravel flying!

"Good speed, but unfortunately, still too slow before me."

Lin Feng's voice sounded from behind the Corpse King.

Seven Fiends Saber Technique, Fifth Stance—Blood Fiend Chasing Soul!

A tricky and vicious blood-red saber light, like a persistent ghost, shot towards the Corpse King's nape!

However, the Golden Corpse King's combat instincts were terrifying. Without looking back, it swung its elbow, carrying immense force, and smashed fiercely towards the saber light!

"Clang!"

A deafening sound of metal striking metal rang out!

Lin Feng felt a surge of immense force from his saber, his hand going numb. He was forced back several steps.

On the Golden Corpse King's elbow, a deep white mark was left, but it failed to penetrate its dark golden keratinous skin!

"Such strong defense!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

As expected of a Third-Order Demon, its defense was so powerful that ordinary magic tools would struggle to injure it.

"Roar!"

Having forced Lin Feng back with one strike, the Golden Corpse King became even more ferocious, turning and unleashing a storm of attacks.

Claws, fists, elbows, knees...

It turned every part of its body into the deadliest weapon, its moves wide and powerful, filled with savage ferocity and madness.

The cave echoed with the constant clang of metal on metal, blade light and claw shadows colliding furiously, the resulting shockwaves scraping layers off the surrounding stone walls!

Under the Corpse King's frenzied assault, Lin Feng was like a lone boat in a raging storm, constantly dodging and weaving.

He no longer met the opponent head-on, instead pushing the advantages of his Flowing Wind Steps to the absolute extreme, his movements erratic and unpredictable.

Time and again, he slipped through the gaps in the Corpse King's deadly attacks, while his saber continuously struck at the Corpse King's joints, eye sockets, and other weak points from various tricky angles.

However, the Golden Corpse King's defense was simply too monstrous; its entire body was practically impenetrable.

Every attack from Lin Feng, while leaving white marks on its body, was unable to inflict any substantial damage.

The battle fell into a stalemate for a time.

Peeking from the cave entrance, Huang Fugui was already terrified out of his wits. He clutched his mouth with his tiny paws, daring not to make a sound.

"Master... Master won't lose, right? This big guy is too tough!"

He was extremely anxious in his heart, yet utterly helpless.

Inside the cave, Lin Feng's gaze grew calmer, sharper.

He was waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity for a killing blow!

"Roar!"

Unable to gain the upper hand, the Golden Corpse King finally flew into a rage. It abruptly stopped attacking, opened its massive maw, and a dense surge of corpse energy gathered within.

The next second, thick, ink-black pillars of corpse energy, as thick as buckets, shot out towards Lin Feng like death rays!

This was its innate skill—Vengeful Fiend Corpse Roar Cannon!

Its power was enough to instantly melt steel and corrode all things!

Now's the chance!

Lin Feng had been waiting for this moment!

The instant the opponent unleashed its ultimate move, its old strength exhausted and its new strength not yet formed!

An unprecedented brilliance erupted in his eyes!

Seven Fiends Saber Technique's seventh form.

Divine Fiend Returns to Origin.

[55x Crit Triggered!]

This strike was even more powerful than the previous 30x critical hit.

It had reached an unbelievable level!

His saber emitted a violent hum under the immense strain, and fine, blood-red arcs of electricity even appeared on its blade!

"Break... for me!"

Lin Feng roared, advancing instead of retreating, and thrust his saber into the black pillar of energy!

This strike had no blade aura, no fiendish energy, only pure penetration and destruction!

The moment the saber tip touched the corpse energy pillar, there was no earth-shattering explosion.

The black pillar, like a popped balloon, began to disintegrate from the tip of the saber, scattering to both sides!

Lin Feng's figure, like a hot knife through butter, pushed through the dispersing torrent of corpse energy and instantly charged in front of the Golden Corpse King!

The Golden Corpse King's crimson eyes were filled with endless horror. It wanted to dodge, but it was already too late!

Squelch!

The saber, wrapped in blood-red lightning arcs, pierced precisely and mercilessly into the Golden Corpse King's impenetrable chest!

The supremely potent and yang Blazing Sun Art True Qi, mixed with the destructive power of the Seven Fiends Saber Technique, erupted within the Corpse King!

"BOOM—!!!"

A dull, heavy roar emanated from within the Golden Corpse King.

Its massive body stiffened abruptly, a gaping hole exploding in its chest, sending countless dark-gold fragments of flesh mixed with foul-smelling corpse blood splattering outwards!

The Golden Corpse King looked down at its impaled chest, then at Lin Feng with disbelief. The flames in its crimson eyes rapidly extinguished.

Thump!

Its colossal body crashed to the ground, completely devoid of life.

[Ding! Successfully killed Third-Order Demon, Golden Corpse King!] [Crit Multiplier increased to 60x! Gained 10,000 Crit Points!]
