Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

...

"I once heard my family elders mention that the so-called spirit body is a power bestowed by heaven, and only exceptionally talented geniuses have a slight chance of awakening it, and it cannot be replicated..."

Upon hearing this, Ren Xuanfei's beautiful eyes sparkled, and her tone was somewhat emotional, "I didn't expect that meeting him today would reveal his extraordinary abilities. It seems that he was deliberately showing weakness before, and his strength is not truly inferior to Jiang Beihai's."

Although Jiang Beihai had also comprehended the minor sword intent and his strength was not to be underestimated, his power of intent was ultimately slightly inferior to his power of spiritual body.

After all, spiritual power is a gift from heaven, which can only be awakened by the individual martial artist and cannot be changed through later efforts. It is a representative term for "geniuses and prodigies".

In contrast, the power of intent is different. This power can be comprehended by a martial artist through hard work, and its power is slightly weaker, even less than the lowest level "mortal path" spiritual body!

"That's not necessarily true."

Lu Feng's faint laughter came from the side again, seemingly indicating a slightly different view from Ren Xuanfei's: "Although Qin Dingce's killing spirit body is strong, it also has significant drawbacks. Unless absolutely necessary, he most likely won't use this power..."

"The fact that he is now using the Killing Spirit Body is only because he has been forced into a desperate situation and has run out of tricks. With his current level of Yuan Power cultivation, he simply cannot maintain this power for long."

"Lu Feng, I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of spiritual power..."

After saying this, Ren Xuanfei couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, her pretty face full of amazement.

Although Lu Feng was just a rogue cultivator, his knowledge in certain areas was actually more extensive than that of this wealthy young lady!

"Hahaha! Murder! I love it...!"

"This is so much fun! It's so much fun! Hahahaha...!"

Inside the tomb, Qin Dingze, who was in a "demonic" state, let out a maniacal laugh. He then threw Ding Shiqun's headless corpse aside and immediately pounced on the crowd of onlookers opposite him, his killing intent undiminished!

Just as Lu Feng had predicted, Qin Dingce had completely lost his mind after using the "Slaughter Spirit Body," and now his mind was filled with nothing but killing!

"ah...!"

A piercing scream rang out, and the next moment a cultivator in blue robes was struck through the heart by Qin Dingce's claw, then collapsed to the ground, blood splattering everywhere, his eyes filled with terror before he died.

The cultivator in blue robes was not weak in terms of Yuan energy cultivation, having reached the first level of the Opening Meridian Realm, but he was still no match for Qin Dingce, who was in a demonic state. He didn't even see the other party's movements clearly before he was instantly killed!

Not only that, but the Qin family guards who had risked their lives alongside Qin Dingce also did not escape this calamity!

Apart from a few lucky Qin family guards who managed to escape, most of the rest were brutally killed by Qin Dingce. They were either disemboweled or beheaded and had their hearts ripped out, their deaths were truly gruesome!

"Damn it! Is this guy insane...?!"

Seeing Qin Dingce go completely mad and wreak havoc in the tomb, Jiang Beihai, who had been confident of victory, was also terrified, and his face turned extremely ugly.

After all, even Ding Shiqun, the "Eight-Handed Old Monster" who was at the fifth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, was killed by Qin Dingce with a single claw, let alone him who only had the cultivation of the third level of the Meridian Opening Realm!

Even with his minor sword intent protecting him, Jiang Beihai had no confidence whatsoever in the face of Qin Dingce, who had gone mad and become possessed by demons!

"With my current strength and cultivation, I am not yet able to fight this madman head-on. It's not too late to make a move after he exhausts his spiritual power..."

Silently pushing his stomach, Jiang Beihai immediately withdrew his natal sword. Then, he lightly stepped on the ground and retreated towards the entrance of the tomb like a nimble bird, seemingly planning to make the best of the thirty-six stratagems by running away.

As the head of a prestigious sect, the leader of the Beihai Blade Sect, he was not a hot-blooded young man who liked to show off his strength. Knowing that he was no match for the opponent, he naturally would not force a fight.

"Hahahaha! Don't run away...! I haven't killed enough yet!"

Seeing that Jiang Beihai was about to run away, Qin Dingce also leaped forward and rushed towards him like an arrow, blocking his retreat and striking out with his claws again!

"not good!"

Sensing a deadly danger coming from behind, Jiang Beihai's expression changed drastically, and he immediately met it with a backhand palm strike.

*Sizzle...!*

As their claws clashed, several gruesome gashes instantly appeared on the center of Jiang Beihai's palm, exposing tendons and bones, causing him intense pain and making his face turn pale.

Qin Dingce's casual claw strike not only easily shattered his protective Yuan energy, but also nearly crippled half of his hand!

Upon thinking of this, Jiang Beihai was terrified and lost all will to fight!

"Hahahaha! This young master will slaughter you all...! Leave not a single one alive! Hahahaha!"

Qin Dingce let out another burst of maniacal laughter, and then opened his mouth and bit down hard on Jiang Beihai's neck, as if he wanted to bite off the other's head on the spot. His appearance became even more insane, and he was completely different from the elegant young nobleman he used to be!

"You damn lunatic! Get the hell out of my way!"

Seeing Qin Dingce rushing towards him again, Jiang Beihai dared not be distracted and immediately forced the opponent back with a backhand slash.

Swish!

After forcing Qin Dingce back with a single strike, Jiang Beihai, disregarding the need to bandage his bloody right hand wound, fled towards the outside of the tomb like a frightened bird.

As for the disciples of the Beihai Sword Sect who followed Jiang Beihai, they were also used as shields and abandoned in the underground tomb.

"metropolitan!"

"Sect Master, save me!"

"ah...!"

Seeing Jiang Beihai escape the tomb alone, the remaining disciples of the Beihai Sword Sect were also terrified and fell into chaos. However, no matter how much they cried for help and begged for mercy, they could not escape death in the end and all became the dead souls of Qin Dingce!

"He's gone mad, this guy really is insane!"

Upon witnessing this bloody scene, Ren Xuanfei's pretty face showed fear for the first time. She couldn't help but turn to Lu Feng beside her, "Lu Feng, we'd better leave this place quickly while this guy isn't paying attention, or we'll be in trouble!"

"Miss Ren, your suggestion is good, but it seems to be too late..." Lu Feng said with a meaningful look, his gaze fixed on the golden throne opposite the tomb palace, as if he had discovered something.

"What did you say?!"

Looking up as well, Ren Xuanfei froze on the spot, her pretty face filled with shock.

The treasure chests that were originally scattered around the golden throne had disappeared without a trace, and in their place was a huge skeleton general wearing silver armor. Several narrow cracks were exposed under its feet, as if it had crawled out from underground.

Not only that, the corpse energy reaction on this skeleton general was also very strong, as if it had been dead for thousands of years. Even just releasing a wisp of pressure was enough to make ordinary martial artists in the Opening Meridian Realm unable to move. It was far inferior to the Undying Bone Lion that fought against Lu Feng and the others!

"At first I was a little curious that this underground tomb, which is the mausoleum of the Loyal King, has no formations or guards, as if it were a treasure vault that anyone could enter and leave at will. Now it seems that I underestimated the Loyal King's methods..."

Lu Feng frowned, his attention focused entirely on the skeleton general opposite him. At the same time, the Yuan Power in his dantian swept out without reservation, transforming into layers of dragon scale armor to protect his body.

"If I'm not mistaken, the guardians of this tomb were originally asleep beneath the throne. If anyone approached and touched the remains of the Loyal King, they would awaken from underground and crawl away. However, Qin Dingze's earlier disturbance inside the tomb has prematurely awakened the guardians..."

Lu Feng's tone was solemn.

Right now, compared to Qin Dingce who has "gone mad," he is more wary of the skeleton general who has emerged from the ground.

Because the opponent is not only the guardian of this tomb palace, but also has terrifying strength, even far above the Spirit Soul Realm experts, and is not someone that Lu Feng and others can contend with!
