Lizardman Leader

The smoke and dust hadn't even settled, and the scent of Qi and Blood steamed and permeated the air.

Jin Chang'en and the other two slumped amidst the blood and corpses, their chests heaving, their eyes still filled with shock.

They looked at the crimson figure before them with disbelief.

They exchanged glances, but no words were spoken.

The monstrous biological armor flowed with a dark red luster, its golden-red pupils scanning the battlefield through the keratinous faceplate.

It was like a terrifying monarch inspecting his territory.

And at this moment, beneath the mask, Xu Feng's attention was focused on the status panel only he could see:

[Name: Xu Feng]
[Breakthrough Points: 80]
[Qi Realm: Late Blood Replacement Realm]
[Body Realm: Fourth Refinement]

He calculated rapidly in his mind.

The previous slaughter had wiped out at least five hundred Lizardmen, but the Breakthrough Points had only increased by 90 in total.

As he killed more, it took five Lizardmen to gain just 1 Breakthrough Point.

After spending 70 points to upgrade his Qi Realm to the Late Blood Replacement Realm, the panel showed he couldn't upgrade further for now.

However, the Qi and Blood within his body had condensed into seven strands, and the energy surging in his dantian became more potent and vigorous.

Xu Feng raised his head, his gaze locking onto the hill ahead where magic power was surging.

Although his naked eyes couldn't pinpoint the invisible killer's exact location, his enhanced physical senses had long surpassed ordinary people.

His skin could feel the slightest air current changes, and his ears could distinguish the sound of a falling leaf tens of meters away.

Just as Jin Chang'en and the other two were about to speak a warning, Xu Feng moved.

He didn't attack forward but shifted slightly to the side.

Three nearly imperceptible, icy blue beams of light grazed past his faceplate, the resulting gust of wind even stirring the steaming Qi and Blood between the armor's seams.

The moment the attack missed, Xu Feng's right hand shot out like lightning, his five fingers tightening into a fist in mid-air--

"Got you."

A low voice came from beneath the keratinous mask.

The air suddenly distorted, and a Lizardman leader, less than 1.5 meters tall, covered in fine, icy blue scales and wielding two bone daggers, was forced into visibility!

Its vertical pupils were filled with disbelief and horror.

How is this possible?

This human, radiating Qi and Blood, actually caught it...

Jin Chang'en and the other two's pupils contracted sharply.

It was them!

It was this elusive monster that had taken the lives of their five teammates in less than a minute just now!

They had tried their best but couldn't track its movements, only watching helplessly as their comrades fell one by one.

But now, this monster that had plunged them into despair was being held by the neck with one hand by this suddenly appearing figure in crimson armor.

It was like carrying a giant fish ready for slaughter!

The Lizardman leader struggled frantically, its icy blue scales erupting with dazzling magic power, its daggers turning into two afterimages, stabbing towards Xu Feng's arm joints.

Those were the weak points where the armor connected!

Clang! Clang!

The moment the daggers struck the armor, they emitted a crisp sound like metal hitting metal, only leaving two shallow white scratches on the dark red keratin layer, which quickly faded.

Xu Feng's arm didn't even tremble.

"Too weak."

A indifferent voice sounded.

The next moment, under the stunned gazes of the three, Xu Feng began to swing the Lizardman leader left and right!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM--!

Each impact shook the ground, cracking rocks.

The Lizardman leader's icy blue scales shattered over a large area on the first impact, blood gushing from its mouth and nose.

It tried to cast some kind of life-saving magic, but the magic power it had just gathered was scattered by Xu Feng's next, more violent slam!

Left slam, right slam, then left slam, then right slam...

Simple, brutal, yet possessing a suffocating aesthetic of power.

The Lizardman leader was like a human-shaped punching bag, utterly defenseless in Xu Feng's hands, each impact leaving a cracked crater in the ground.

Ten seconds.

Just ten seconds.

When Xu Feng stopped moving and released his palm, the Lizardman leader that had plunged a complete expedition team into despair was already slumped on the ground like a puddle of mud.

Its chest rose and fell faintly, proving it was still alive, but the light in its vertical pupils had faded. Its bones were shattered, its internal organs ruptured, and it was only a breath away from death.

Xu Feng raised his right foot, covered in armor, and under the complicated gazes of the three, gently stepped down.

Crunch--

The sound of a skull cracking was clearly audible.

[Breakthrough Points +100]

The rewards for killing an underground city leader were indeed generous.

Adding to his previous accumulation, his Breakthrough Points reached 180 again.

Although improving his Body Realm was temporarily out of reach, his Qi Realm... he could break through now.

Xu Feng bent down and stuffed the Lizardman leader's corpse into the backpack on his back.

Just as he straightened up, his gaze swept over the magic stone ore shimmering in the magic power aura at the top of the hill.

A glint flashed in his eyes.

He then strode towards the hill, his Blood Dragon armor emitting a slight rustling sound with each step.

But this action caused the faces of Jin Chang'en and the other two, who had just snapped out of their shock, to change drastically.
