Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Tch, so I couldn't avoid it after all..."

Blocked from retreat by Zhang Miao, Lu Feng sensed something was wrong and his face suddenly turned serious. "This is bad..."

The opponent was a veteran expert ranked thirty-second on the list of villains, whose cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Condensation Realm. The blood-red spear in his hand was also quite powerful, comparable to a third-grade spiritual treasure.

In contrast, Lu Feng only had the cultivation level of the second level of the Condensation Realm, and his internal energy was depleted due to the previous battle with Sha Wuqiu, the leader of the Tomb Raider Sect, and he had not yet fully recovered.

Therefore, Lu Feng was very clear that if he were to fight Zhang Miao head-on, even with the protection of the Panlong Breath Technique, his chances of winning would be no more than 30%, or even lower!

"Pretty boy, you're actually quite handsome. How about I give you another option..."

Seeing Lu Feng standing motionless, Zhang Miao seemed to get excited for a moment, and a lewd look appeared on his face. "If you kneel down and submit now, and then obediently serve me, I might consider letting you go, or even giving you a little something extra."

"Holy crap!"

"This pervert really does like men...?!"

As soon as the other person finished speaking, Lu Feng's face also darkened, and he instantly lost his composure, feeling a chill and goosebumps all over his body.

Not to mention that the word "surrender" doesn't exist in Lu Feng's dictionary, he is also a completely straight man. Right now, making him sell his sex appeal to pedophiles is more painful than killing him!

"Tsk tsk, this is going to be good."

"Rumors have it that Zhang Miao has homosexual tendencies, and now it seems to be true..."

"This kid is doomed today. The scene is too gruesome for me to bear..."

Faced with Zhang Miao's peculiar hobby, all the martial artists and rogue cultivators present turned their attention to him. For a moment, everyone had different expressions and discussed it among themselves, but most of them were gloating.

"Damn it, looks like I have no choice but to fight this gay bastard!"

Faced with the onlookers and Zhang Miao's relentless pressure, Lu Feng gritted his teeth, circulated his inner energy in his dantian once more, and reached for the Flame-Swallowing Blade on his back, clearly intending to fight to the death.

Since he was going to die either way, he would rather die in battle than sell his body and be played to death.

"Young Master Lu, wait a minute."

Just as Lu Feng was about to make a move, Gu Canyang's voice suddenly interrupted him from inside the treasure basin.

"ancient!"

Overjoyed at the news, Lu Feng quickly asked, "Could it be that you, sir, have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

"no."

Gu Canyang said calmly, "What I mean is that you should agree to him."

"Damn, I have no interest in this gay bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's face stiffened at first, then he couldn't help but curse on the spot, "You old bastard, instead of helping me get through this calamity, you're just playing me!"

He had thought that Gu Canyang had some ingenious plan, but it turned out that the other party was just asking him to back down and sell his body. It would have been better not to have made the suggestion at all!

"Hmph, young people are always so impulsive. I haven't even finished speaking, what's with your haste..."

Facing Lu Feng, who was jumping up and down on the spot, Gu Canyang remained calm as always, and said in a steady tone, "Right now, if you want to kill this person by yourself, the probability is at most 30%, but if you have external help, it will be much easier."

"External assistance?"

Lu Feng frowned slightly.

"That's right."

Gu Canyang said in a low voice, "Not far to your left, at about nine o'clock, there is a still intact skeleton of a demon beast, and it is filled with an extremely dense corpse aura."

"If my judgment is correct, this beast skeleton should be a carrion bear, and its bloodline demonic power was at least at the low level of the Xuan rank, comparable to a seventh-level Ningyuan realm martial artist among human cultivators."

"So, what you mean, Old Gu, is...?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng seemed to understand something, but he didn't fully grasp it.

"Take it!"

Suddenly, a faint light flashed inside the treasure basin, and the next moment, a wrinkled purple talisman appeared in Lu Feng's right palm. The surface of the talisman was engraved with obscure spiritual patterns, and the back was printed with a skull, which seemed to be of a high grade.

"Huh? Isn't this one of the many treasures I just looted in the secret room..."

Holding the purple talisman, Lu Feng's eyes lit up, revealing surprise.

"That's right."

Gu Canyang continued, "This is a spirit summoning talisman. It can not only accelerate the condensation of corpse energy and flesh, but also revive the dead. Although this talisman is of average grade, only a seventh-grade spirit talisman, it is still barely enough."

"A seventh-grade spirit talisman is just so-so? Your standards are truly exceptionally high, Elder..."

Lu Feng clicked his tongue. Although he didn't know what Gu Canyang was going to do next, he still obeyed orders.

After all, his relationship with Gu Canyang was not only as close as that of master and disciple, but they were also in the same boat, and the other would never harm him.

"Brother Zhang is renowned throughout the land, a veteran master on the list of villains. Even the government officials of the four kingdoms of Lingnan are helpless against you, so how could I dare disobey?"

Clutching the summoning talisman in his hand, Lu Feng looked at Zhang Miao not far away again, suppressing the nausea and disgust in his heart, and forced a smile, "Besides, being able to serve Brother Zhang is a hard-won blessing for me..."

"Hahahaha! Pretty boy, looks like you're pretty savvy, not bad!"

Seeing Lu Feng's submission, Zhang Miao was overjoyed and immediately laughed loudly, "Don't worry, as long as you serve me well, I'll make sure you get plenty of benefits. You can even take whatever treasures are in this secret room!"

"Thank you very much, Brother Zhang."

Lu Feng bowed slightly to Zhang Miao, then suddenly turned and retreated, rushing into the depths of the secret chamber.

"There really is a complete skeleton of a demonic beast here!"

Deep within the secret chamber, Lu Feng raised his hand and swept away the scattered broken bricks and tiles on the ground. Then, his gaze slowly fell upon a massive beast skeleton, its form enormous and its aura thick with the scent of death.

"Although this monster skeleton is filled with an extremely dense corpse aura, to revive it, a single summoning talisman is not enough; a large amount of flesh and blood and demonic power are also needed."

Gu Canyang's voice came again.

"Supported by flesh and blood and demonic power? That's easy!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's eyes flickered, as if he had remembered something. He immediately took out a huge wolf head and several thumb-sized demon core crystals from his storage ring.

These were all spoils he had obtained from hunting monsters in the past, including the head and core of the Bloodthirsty Twin-Tailed Wolf, a high-level Yellow-rank monster, which could now be used as sacrificial materials to revive the Carrion Bear.

"Place the summoning talisman on the spine of this carrion bear skeleton. In a maximum of sixty breaths, once the remaining corpse energy and demonic power of the flesh and blood on the skeleton have completely merged, this carrion bear will be fully resurrected."

Gu Canyang slowly gave his instructions, and Lu Feng obeyed.

"Pretty boy, what are you doing?"

Seeing Lu Feng suddenly retreat to the depths of the secret room and behave strangely, Zhang Miao narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of suspicion.

"Brother Zhang, it's nothing."

Faced with Zhang Miao's probing, Lu Feng simply grinned and said, "I am naturally shy, and there are too many people here, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I'm afraid it might spoil your fun, brother."

"Hmph, that's easy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Miao's face revealed an arrogant expression. He immediately turned to look at the crowd around him, "You! All of you get the hell out of here, or don't blame me for killing without blinking an eye!"

Faced with Zhang Miao's threat, the people present were indignant, but dared not speak out and could only scatter like birds and beasts.

"There is blood and corpses everywhere here. I still feel uncomfortable looking at it. I'm afraid it might spoil Brother Zhang's enjoyment."

Seeing the crowd disperse in a panic, Lu Feng shook his head again, seemingly deliberately stalling for time.

His goal was simple: to wait for the carrion bear to revive and then turn the tide!

"You pretty boy, you always cause so much trouble..."

Hearing this, Zhang Miao was slightly impatient, but he still swung his blood-red spear and swept it outwards again, instantly turning the surrounding corpses into dust.

As for the bloodstains on the ground, they were all absorbed by the blood-red spear in Zhang Miao's hand, like a stream flowing into the sea, making it even more sharp and terrifying.

"This guy's weapon is indeed impressive. Although it's a third-grade spiritual treasure, its power can be multiplied by absorbing the flesh and blood of corpses, making it comparable to some fourth-grade spiritual treasures!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of covetousness.

"Pretty boy, are you alright now?"

Zhang Miao put away his gun and stood up, looking at Lu Feng not far away. He saw Lu Feng beckoning to him slightly, and a lewd look appeared on his face.

Swish!

However, just as Zhang Miao was about to get close to Lu Feng, the latter suddenly unleashed a palm strike, and the surging Yuan energy transformed into a dark demonic wind, instantly targeting the former's vital point!

"What?!"

As the crisis struck, Zhang Miao's expression changed slightly. He immediately swung his spear to defend, and at the same time, his Yuan Power burst forth, transforming into layers of protective barriers, which barely managed to block Lu Feng's full-force palm strike.

"You little bastard, how dare you play me for a fool?!"

He retreated rapidly until he landed awkwardly. Zhang Miao looked at Lu Feng not far away again, his eyes filled with rage and killing intent.

The opponent's sneak attack was swift, accurate, and ruthless. If he hadn't been so skilled and protected by a third-grade spiritual treasure, he would have been caught off guard and seriously injured, if not killed!

"So this guy finally figured it out... What a pity."

Seeing Zhang Miao block his full-force palm strike, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of regret flashing across his face. "With just a second-grade martial art, trying to kill this person is indeed a bit of a stretch..."

This palm technique was not created by him personally, but was learned by Sha Wuqiu, the master of the Tomb Raiders Sect. It is also the opponent's unique move, "Heart-Shattering and Bone-Cracking Palm", which is as powerful as a second-grade martial art.

However, Lu Feng's understanding of the Heart-Shattering Palm technique is not yet deep, only at the minor completion level. Furthermore, due to his slightly lower Yuan Power cultivation, he was unable to kill Zhang Miao with a single palm strike.
