In Danger

Facing the sky-obscuring, crimson giant palm imbued with the terrifying power of a quasi-fifth-rank expert.

Lin Feng's eyes flashed with sharp light. Far from retreating, he pushed the Pebble True Skill to its absolute limit!

"Boom!!"

The bloody palm print struck Lin Feng's horizontally held long saber with a deafening roar!

A violent wave of energy exploded outwards in a ring, tearing up and shattering the bluestone slabs of the surrounding ground!

Lin Feng's bronze-like glow flickered intensely, the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and his feet sank deep into it.

He was forcefully pushed back several feet by the immense force, plowing two deep furrows.

His throat felt a sweetness, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

However, he had blocked it!

With the Unity of Man and Heaven's Pebble True Skill and pure True Essence, he had actually withstood this killing blow that surpassed his own realm!

"What?!" Wang Xiong's blood-red eyes flickered with surprise. The power he had paid a heavy price for couldn't instantly crush the opponent?

It was this moment of surprise!

Lin Feng seized the opportunity and made his move!

He used the momentum of his backward slide to abruptly stop. Although his Blood Essence churned within him, his gaze was as cold as a blade.

His combat experience told him this was his only chance!

"Old dog, your pills may be potent, but your foundation is unstable, and your flaws are exposed! Die for me!"

Before his voice even fell, Lin Feng moved like lightning, not retreating but advancing, charging towards the aggressive Wang Xiong!

The long saber in his hand drew a strange arc. It wasn't a direct chop, but an upward slash, directly targeting the opening under Wang Xiong's ribs, which had become slightly sluggish due to the surge of power!

This strike was fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

It condensed all his spirit, energy, and essence!

Wang Xiong's old strength had just faded, and his new strength had yet to arise. The violent medicinal power within his body was clashing fiercely with his meridians. Facing this tricky strike, he was momentarily unable to block effectively!

"Pfft—!"

The crimson-gold blade energy accurately sliced into the relatively weak area of blood-colored True Qi, tearing through muscle and severing bone!

Wang Xiong let out an extremely piercing scream. Half of his body was almost split open by this saber strike, and blood gushed out like a waterfall!

He looked down at his massive wound in disbelief, the blood color in his eyes rapidly receding, replaced by endless fear and despair.

"I... I'm not reconciled..."

[Successfully suppressed and killed Wang Family Patriarch Wang Xiong, gaining 7500 Slaughter Points.]

A cold system prompt sounded, and a warm current flowed into his body.

Lin Feng's heart settled, and he swept his gaze across the terrified Wang Family members.

"The Patriarch... is dead?!"

"Run!"

"Spare us! Lord Lin, spare us!"

Wails, pleas, and cries instantly filled the entire Wang Family mansion.

Lin Feng's eyes remained devoid of emotion.

Mercy towards enemies is cruelty towards oneself.

The Wang Family shall be destroyed today!

"Leave no one alive!"

He uttered four cold words, and his figure moved like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Amidst the flashing saber light, he brought forth bursts of bloody rain.

Without their leader, the Wang Family members were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered before him.

Slaughter, efficient slaughter.

[Annihilated the entire Wang Family, gaining an additional 3500 Slaughter Points.]

The prompt sounded again.

A total of 14500 Slaughter Points acquired!

The immense gains invigorated Lin Feng.

He quickly found the Wang Family's treasury.

When the heavy treasury door was forcibly broken open, even though Lin Feng had been mentally prepared, he was slightly shaken by the sight before him.

Mountains of gold, silver, and jewels glittered enticingly, their value immeasurable, enough to support a small to medium-sized sect for decades.

But this was not the main point.

His gaze bypassed the secular treasures and landed on several specially made jade boxes and shelves in the depths.

Three manuals of extraordinary material lay quietly there—Thunderous Blade Technique, Rippling Waves Triple Strike, and Soaring Dragon Movement Technique, all of which were top-grade Earth-tier martial arts!

Any that fell into the martial world would cause bloodshed.

Beside them were several jade bottles, containing "True Condensing Pills" to aid cultivation, the miraculous healing medicine "Life-Creating Pills," and more.

There were also several magical artifacts with contained brilliance, such as a "Heart-Cleansing Jade Pendant" capable of resisting mental attacks, and an "Autumn Water Sword" so sharp it could sever fine gold.

"A massive haul."

Lin Feng quickly swept the most valuable items into his storage ring.

With these resources, his strength would undergo a leap in the short term!

Just as he was taking stock of his gains, a completely black flying pigeon pierced through the lingering bloody air above the Wang family's estate and landed precisely on his shoulder.

A small bamboo tube was tied to the pigeon's leg.

Lin Feng removed it, unfolded the paper strip inside, and his expression suddenly turned grim.

"Urgent report from Black Rock City! Demons are besieging the city, numbers unknown, multiple sections of the city walls are damaged, the city is in grave danger! Deputy Envoy Zhou has already led the remnants to reinforce, requesting your swift return!!"

Black Rock City was where he, as the Northern Commander, was stationed. He had a duty to protect it, and it held the concern for Zhou Gang, whom he had just saved.

"Demons..." A cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, his figure transformed into a streak of light, and he sped towards Black Rock City.

The matter of the Wang family was settled; a new crisis had already descended!

He unleashed his movement technique at full power, his speed incredibly fast.

From afar, he could see demonic energy soaring from the direction of Black Rock City, and the sounds of shouting and screams faintly reached his ears.

As he approached the city gate area, the scene was even more shocking. Several sections of the city wall had collapsed, and demons were pouring in like a tide. The defending army was in a steady retreat, suffering heavy casualties.

Amidst the chaos, Lin Feng's gaze sharpened, locking onto a spot beside a broken beam.

A Canine Demon, as large as a calf, with fangs bared and drool dripping, was growling as it approached a little girl huddled in a corner.

The little girl's clothes were ragged, her face covered in dirt and tear stains. She trembled all over, too scared to even cry out.

Beside her lay several gnawed, mangled, and broken skeletons. From the tattered remnants of clothing, they could vaguely be identified as adult men and women.

Clearly, they were her family.

The scene was utterly horrific!

Just then, the system prompt sounded coldly:

[Quest Triggered: Slay the Canine Demon, Reward: 8000 Slaughter Points.]

8000 points!

Higher than Wang Xiong!

This Canine Demon's strength must be extraordinary.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Feng's figure flickered, and he appeared like a phantom, blocking the path between the Canine Demon and the little girl.

The Canine Demon clearly hadn't expected anyone to dare to stop it from feeding. A hint of surprise flashed in its scarlet beast eyes, followed by a human-like mockery and ferocity.

"Roar? Another two-legged sheep coming to die?" It actually spoke human language, its voice hoarse and grating. "Soft skin and tender flesh, with vigorous Blood Essence. Perfect for a snack for this lord! Get lost. After I eat this little dessert, I'll deal with you slowly!"

Before its voice even faded, its thick hind legs suddenly stomped the ground. Its massive body, carrying a stench of blood, lunged at Lin Feng. Its gaping maw aimed directly for Lin Feng's head, intending to crush it in one bite!

Its fangs were chillingly sharp, and the stench of blood was overpowering!

This pounce was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder!
