Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

...

In a corner of the main hall

"I never expected these two guys could hold out against the Undying Bone Lion for so long..."

"Heh, interesting..."

Several mutilated corpses lay scattered on the ground, from which a wisp of dark shadow could be vaguely seen. It then swirled and dissipated, seemingly a wisp of a cultivator's divine consciousness, but its aura was so faint as to be almost imperceptible.

"Dragon's Assault!"

In the midst of the fierce battle, Lu Feng circulated his Yuan Power to transform it into dragon scale armor to defend against the Undying Bone Lion's attacks, while simultaneously retreating rapidly to try and lure the opponent away from the location of the Azure Sea Illusionary Spirit Map.

Roar!

Faced with Lu Feng's attempt to lure the enemy with his own body, the immortal bone lion relentlessly pursued him, letting out a series of angry roars, having already regarded the former as a sworn enemy. Meanwhile, Ren Xuanfei was able to catch her breath.

"Tch, almost at its limit, huh...?"

With another leap, he narrowly avoided the crushing impact of the Undying Bone Lion. Lu Feng's face was solemn as he slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Although he could somewhat contend with the Undying Bone Lion by relying on the "Four Absolute Techniques of the Panlong", this strategy was ultimately not a long-term solution. Moreover, the frequent use of "Dragon Guard" for protection and "Dragon Dance" for flight greatly depleted Lu Feng's dantian energy.

If the battle drags on like this, once Lu Feng's dantian energy is exhausted, not to mention the Undying Bone Lion in front of him, even a random Body Refinement Realm martial artist could easily kill him!

"No! No! Still no...!"

While Lu Feng was entangled with the Undying Bone Lion, Ren Xuanfei was also looking for the location of the array eye of the Azure Sea Illusionary Spirit Diagram. However, her expression was not good, as if she had encountered some kind of problem.

"Damn it! Which stroke of ink is the true key to the formation...!"

Ren Xuanfei's expression turned extremely grim as she glanced at the long and massive Canghai Illusionary Spirit Map. Beneath her yellow robes, her hands clenched tightly, beads of sweat forming on them, indicating her extreme tension and anxiety.

After all, she herself did not master the Canghai Sect's original sect-protecting technique, "Canghai Illusionary Spirit Technique," and this scroll depicted more than a dozen undead creatures of various appearances, with at least a thousand strokes in the brush alone. The undead bone lion that had just run out was just one of them.

The only way to accurately locate the array's core is to use the "Azure Sea Illusionary Spirit Technique." If they were to search one by one using crude methods, it would probably take forever, and Lu Feng would definitely not last that long.

Roar!

Just as Ren Xuanfei was searching for the array's core, the corpse energy on the Undying Bone Lion suddenly surged several times over. At the same time, it raised its head to the sky and let out a sharp roar, as if it was getting impatient and was about to give Lu Feng, the intruder, a final blow!

"Damn it! Has this guy gone mad?"

Lu Feng also noticed the sudden surge of corpse energy on the Undying Bone Lion, and his expression changed drastically, his heart pounding faster than ever before.

At that moment, he also clearly sensed a death threat instantly enveloping him.

Originally, the strength of this immortal bone lion was comparable to that of a human martial artist at the first level of the Spirit Soul Realm. Now that it has entered a "mad" state, its strength has increased dramatically, making it comparable to a human at the third level of the Spirit Soul Realm. Even if Lu Feng were to risk his life, he would still be unable to defeat it!

boom!

Without giving Lu Feng any chance to catch his breath, the Undying Bone Lion twisted its massive body, which was as big as a small hill, and immediately pressed down heavily on Lu Feng, seemingly intending to crush him into mincemeat on the spot!

Moreover, after entering a "mad" state, the movement speed of this immortal story also increased significantly, changing its previous clumsy posture. Ordinary martial artists in the Opening Meridian Realm would find it almost impossible to dodge its attacks!

"not good!"

Faced with the Undying Bone Lion's "Mount Tai Pressing Down", Lu Feng was also startled. He immediately flew back and opened his mouth wide, releasing the last bit of Yuan Power in his dantian without reservation!

"The Four Absolute Techniques of Panlong: Dragon's Breath!"

Strands of pure Yuan energy surged from his dantian, then transformed into a large amount of blazing spiritual flames, which spewed out from Lu Feng's mouth like the breath of a dragon. In almost an instant, they swept across the entire hall, their aura shaking the heavens!

Roar! Roar! Roar!

A massive amount of blazing spiritual flames, like an endless surging tide, spread and swept towards the Undying Bone Lion opposite, causing the air temperature to rise considerably. In an instant, the entire hall was enveloped in raging spiritual flames, resembling a sea of ​​fire and a purgatory!

"Wow, what amazing martial arts!..."

"Even my Heavenly Phoenix Spiritual Phoenix Technique doesn't possess such power...!"

Upon seeing this, even Ren Xuanfei, who was focused on finding the array's core, was stunned, her pretty face filled with shock.

She originally thought Lu Feng was just an unknown rogue cultivator, and also a bit greedy and lustful.

Now it seems she was completely wrong; the Lu Feng before her was no ordinary person!

"Lu Feng, who exactly are you...?"

Thinking of this, Ren Xuanfei was momentarily lost in thought, as if a ripple had suddenly stirred in the depths of her long-dormant heart, and she inexplicably felt a sense of curiosity about Lu Feng.

"roar...!"

Faced with the scorching spiritual flames coming from all directions, the Undying Bone Lion also let out a startled roar. Its originally massive, mountain-like body retreated repeatedly, seemingly unable to withstand the tidal wave of spiritual flames, and its momentum plummeted.

"Miss Ren, how much longer until you're done on your end? I can't hold on much longer...!"

Having successfully repelled the Undying Bone Lion's attack, Lu Feng felt no joy whatsoever. Instead, he turned to look at Ren Xuanfei, who was still in a daze not far away, his tone full of anxiety.

After all, that dragon breath attack was his strongest trump card, and it had almost exhausted all of Lu Feng's internal energy.

In other words, Lu Feng is currently at his limit, with almost one-tenth of his strength remaining. If he cannot find the location of the array's core and seal the Undying Bone Lion, then he can only wait to die!

"Lu Feng, I...I..."

Faced with Lu Feng's question, Ren Xuanfei's pretty face panicked, and she was momentarily speechless.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the other person's strange expression, Lu Feng also frowned slightly, with a vague sense of foreboding.

"There are at least a thousand strokes of ink on this scroll. I just tried my best and only found about fifty. As for the location of the array's core, I haven't found it yet..."

Ren Xuanfei's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, her tone trembling slightly, as if she were extremely frightened.

"Damn it! We still haven't found the key point of the formation?!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's vision blurred, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down on the spot.

It turns out all his efforts to hold on for so long were in vain!

"Could it be that I, young master, am destined to die here today?!"

Just as Lu Feng was filled with despair, a faint, aged laugh slowly came from within the treasure basin. "Hehe, young man of the Lu family, I never expected to see you in such a sorry state today. It's quite a rare sight..."

Gu Canyang spoke in a mocking tone, as if he had been secretly observing the battle without revealing himself.

"Old Age, you're awake?"

Upon seeing Gu Canyang suddenly appear, Lu Feng was first startled, then said with resentment, "Old Gu, what time is it now? Why are you still making sarcastic remarks? If I'm done for today, your fate won't be much better, will it...?"

There has been no further activity since the other party helped him repair the treasure basin.

Lu Feng originally thought that Gu Canyang had fallen into a deep sleep again due to excessive depletion of his soul power, but he did not expect that the other party had always been there, but was just too lazy to show himself.

"Don't worry, with me here, you're not going to die anytime soon..."

"It's just a mere immortal spirit; it can't possibly harm me...!"

Faced with Lu Feng's complaints, Gu Canyang stroked his beard and chuckled, his tone confident, as if he already had a plan to defeat the enemy.
