Chapter 147: The Power of Blood, Wind
Chapter 147: The Power of Blood, Wind (Please subscribe!)
Zhou Qiang was holding his breath, wondering how a martial arts student from Outer Ring City could surpass him, take part in the provincial exam, and even represent Jiangbei Province in the national exam.
You have to know that he is the heir of the Xingyao Group, the direct descendant of the Zhou family, and the inheritor of the bloodline. Whether it is training resources or living allowances, he is far better than Zhang Lingfeng.
What qualifications does Zhang Lingfeng have to be compared with him?
He has already activated the fourth level of Dharmakāya, and his physical fitness is even stronger than Zhang Lingfeng. Combined with his sword skills, he killed many catfish monsters in his way.
Wherever the sword light passed, it left behind the corpses of a group of catfish monsters. For a moment, people were attracted by his figure, and many people were discussing his identity.
When they learned that he was a member of the Zhou family, everyone was envious and jealous, but also full of admiration.
Everyone knows that children of aristocratic families have naturally abundant resources and conditions for cultivation. The end point of everyone's lifelong struggle is just their starting point.
Such a young Dharma-Appearance Warrior makes many female martial arts students fantasize about marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a superior person. How many of them don’t have such thoughts?
"I'm exhausted."
Zhang Lingfeng returned to warehouse No. 3. There was no catfish monster here, so he could have a good rest.
"Thank you, sorry for that."
Seeing Zhang Lingfeng coming back, Zhou Xiaotong said apologetically.
"It's okay. I wonder what the situation is like in the abyss?"
Zhang Lingfeng has been paying attention to the movements over there.
He discovered that the sound fluctuations released by the Catfish Demon King from the abyss, although intermittent, were always there. It was obvious that Xuan Yue and the others could not do anything to the Catfish Demon King for the time being.
"The time is up and they haven't come back yet."
Zhou Xiaotong said a little worriedly.
"not good."
Zhang Lingfeng stood up and said.
Perceiving through his sea of consciousness, he discovered that the roar of the catfish demon king coming from the abyss suddenly became much louder, and the frequency of the roar was more intense and extremely penetrating.
The group of catfish monsters that were attacking Base No. 7 suddenly went crazy. There seemed to be a ray of blood in their eyes, and they charged towards this side desperately.
In an instant, the group of catfish monsters that had been repelled continued to rush towards Base No. 7, fearlessly and recklessly, and rushed towards Base No. 7 in a black mass.
"what happened?"
Zhou Qiang felt something was wrong.
However, as a strong man in the Bone Realm, who successfully opened the fourth level of Dharmakāya and cultivated his sword skills into potential energy, he was still able to handle it with ease and was not in any danger.
But those martial artists who controlled the armor or charged into battle in groups were in a miserable state. Facing the attack of tens of thousands of catfish monsters, especially when the hair-raising cries came like a tide, many people almost collapsed.
"boom!"
At this moment, a figure shot back from a distance.
But after ejecting three times in a row, when he was about to eject from the catfish monster group for the fourth time, a catfish monster king with a combat power value close to 300.0 grabbed his ankle and pulled him back.
A bloody scene appeared.
The man was quickly eaten up by several catfish monster kings.
"Uncle Li!"
Miss Zhou collapsed.
That man was one of the three genetic bloodline warriors who followed Xuan Yue to the abyss to kill the catfish monster king. It was obvious that he was injured. He escaped from the abyss with great difficulty, but was eventually swallowed by the group of catfish monsters outside the abyss.
"Something must have happened to them."
Zhang Lingfeng felt something was not good. Xuan Yue's combat power was higher than his. At this moment, the screams of the Catfish Demon King were getting louder and louder, which meant that Xuan Yue had failed to kill the opponent and might even be in a dangerous situation. That was why the Catfish Demon King was so excited and crazy.
Think that the other person is here to protect yourself.
Zhang Lingfeng couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
He quickly shot towards the abyss. He saw Zhou Qiang still killing everyone on the other side of the defense line. His swordsmanship had reached the master level. Although it was only the first level of potential energy, it was not something that ordinary people could match.
So he shouted at him, "Mr. Zhou, do you dare to go to the abyss with me to kill the catfish monster king?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Zhou Qiang replied.
"Then let's see who kills the catfish demon king first!"
Zhang Lingfeng snorted coldly.
"it is good!"
Zhou Qiang quickly got rid of the catfish monsters around him and shot towards the abyss.
"Zhou Qiang, come back!"
Zhou Xiaotong shouted anxiously, trying to stop the other party, but she couldn't. She had to stay to look after warehouse No. 3, not to mention that her speed was far inferior to Zhou Qiang.
"I will reach the abyss before you."
Zhang Lingfeng said proudly.
"dream!"
Zhou Qiang's face was full of disdain. As a child of a noble family, he had practiced body movement skills. In addition, his physical fitness surpassed Zhang Lingfeng, and he successfully opened the fourth level of Dharma. His bones were strong and powerful, and each time he could launch a distance that was 10 to 20 meters higher than Zhang Lingfeng.
So he quickly left Zhang Lingfeng behind.
"What kind of body movement is this? Wait for me?"
Zhang Lingfeng shouted from behind.
If he used the power of his bloodline and the wind of the five elements, his speed would surpass Zhou Qiang in an instant, and he would be able to reach Zhou Qiang in just a few bounces.
But the abyss is dangerous, he can't be too reckless.
Zhou Qiang seemed not to have heard it, and even rushed towards the abyss even faster. With his last bounce, he jumped directly into the abyss, and rushed down along the stone wall of the abyss, killing the catfish monster that rushed up.
"Master Zhou!"
The remaining two genetic bloodline warriors who followed Xuan Yue were still in the abyss. They were unable to escape for the time being, but were also seriously injured.
When they saw Zhou Qiang falling from the sky, they couldn't believe it and thought Zhou Qiang was here to save them.
"Stop these two beasts for me. I'll kill their leader."
Xuan Yue said.
There are a total of four catfish demon kings in the abyss, and their combat power values are all above 400.0. At this moment, she has killed one, and there are three left.
Two are guardians, and one gives orders.
Because the two genetic bloodline warriors were severely injured and their blood was exhausted, they could no longer help her at the moment. Facing the attacks of two catfish demon kings at the same time, although Xuan Yue could gain the upper hand, it was difficult for her to break through the defense.
For this reason, the catfish demon king who was giving orders also became impatient, and the frequency of the sounds he released became more and more intense. He wanted the catfish demons to break through the defense line of Base No. 7 so that he could free up his hands to deal with Xuan Yue.
For this reason, Xuan Yue was ready to retreat.
I didn't expect that a strong man in the Bone Realm would come and activate the fourth level of Dharma Realm.
"You deal with these two beasts, and I'll take care of their leader."
How could Zhou Qiang obey Xuan Yue's orders? Moreover, he came here mainly to kill the catfish monster king and prove that he was stronger than Zhang Lingfeng.
How could we let the leader of the Catfish Demon King die in Xuan Yue’s hands?
So the three of them saw Zhou Qiang charging all the way down and swooping down towards the catfish demon king who was standing on a protruding stone in the center of the abyss. He was more than four meters tall, with mucus all over his body evolved into armor and grew serrations. His hands were stronger than his feet, and he was countless times stronger than humans. He was holding a steel fork and a giant axe.
"Quack quack!"
This catfish monster king was releasing special sound waves through a piece of red keratin protruding from the center of its eyebrows. When it saw Zhou Qiang swooping down, it released the sound waves, forcing the catfish monsters to frantically invade Base No. 7, and at the same time swung an axe from the bottom to the top.
As a catfish demon king with a strong physique and a combat power value of over 400.0, the power of his axe is comparable to that of a warrior who has opened the fourth level of bone structure.
Zhou Qiang swooped down and had nowhere to gain leverage in the air, so he suffered a loss. Fortunately, he was an excellent swordsman and his skills had reached the master level. He had the ability to lock on, and with two consecutive sword thrusts, he landed steadily and stood on the boulder to fight against the catfish monster king.
Because of Zhou Qiang's joining, the frequency of the sound released by the catfish monster king was affected. The scarlet color in the eyes of the catfish monsters outside also dimmed a lot, and some catfish monsters even showed confused expressions.
Everyone just felt that the pressure was relieved a lot.
But the catfish monster was bloodthirsty by nature, and especially liked to devour human flesh and gnaw on human bodies. So after seeing so many human warriors in front of it, it continued to rush towards humans, but not as crazy as before.
"Captain Xuan!"
At this time Zhang Lingfeng also rushed into the abyss.
Finally met Xuan Yue.
"Buzz!"
Seeing Xuan Yue being attacked by two catfish monster kings, he immediately released mental power fluctuations. As a first-level attack mental power master, Zhang Lingfeng's 1.6 sea of consciousness power was not enough to threaten the catfish monster kings, but it could give them a headache for a while and buy an opportunity for Xuan Yue.
"Pfft!"
Xuan Yue is the real master of swordsmanship.
And realized the second level of power.
Her combat power not only surpassed Zhang Lingfeng, but also Zhou Qiang. With the assistance of Zhang Lingfeng's mental power fluctuations, her swordsmanship easily broke through the defense of one of the catfish demon kings and cut off one of the opponent's arms.
Blood splattered.
The catfish demon king had a crazy look on his face. After evolving to this point, its physical strength and vitality were not much inferior to those of human-blooded warriors. It retreated quickly, wanting to wait until its arms grew out before dealing with Xuan Yue.
Zhang Lingfeng swooped down.
The gun technique quickly locked it.
"Buzz!"
At the same time, he released the mental power fluctuations again. As he became a first-level mental power master, Zhang Lingfeng had mastered the trick of releasing mental power. Even if the mental power surged out all at once, he would not feel pain.
In addition, he has comprehended the second level of power of spear, and his skills are not inferior to Xuan Yue and Zhou Qiang, and are even slightly stronger than them.
"Zhang Lingfeng!"
Xuan Yue was shocked and thought that Zhang Lingfeng was asking for trouble.
"puff!"
However, the next moment, she was horrified to see that Zhang Lingfeng locked onto the catfish demon king with his spear skills and, combined with his mental power fluctuations, killed it with three shots.
The long spear pierced through the catfish demon king's chest, forehead and throat in three places.
No matter how strong the vitality of the catfish demon king was, he died instantly and his body fell into the abyss.
"The second level of gun power?"
Xuan Yue was caught off guard.
The shots Zhang Lingfeng fired just now were too fast, following like a shadow, leaving the catfish demon king, who had lost an arm, nowhere to hide. He was stabbed in the vitals in an instant and died on the spot.
"puff!"
With only one catfish demon king left, Xuan Yue quickly gained the upper hand, and finally in the next few rounds, he cut off the catfish demon king's head with one sword.
"Master Zhou!"
The two injured genetic bloodline warriors swooped down when they saw Zhou Qiang was in danger.
It was seen that the catfish demon king leader that Zhou Qiang was dealing with had a combat power value of obviously above 450.0, even exceeding 460.0. The mucus armor on his body was more solid and reliable than the fourth level of Dharmakaya.
Although Zhou Qiang's swordsmanship could break through the defense of the catfish demon king, it was difficult to hurt the opponent. For a while, he could not do anything to the catfish demon king leader, and he himself was suppressed by the catfish demon king leader, thus creating danger.
Those two warriors with genetic bloodline had achieved their current status due to the training of the Zhou family. When they saw Zhou Qiang in danger, they looked helpless, but they did not back down. They swooped down to help Zhou Qiang.
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, the strength of the catfish monster king was far beyond their imagination. An axe light appeared, and the weapons in the hands of the two men shattered, as if they were hit by a giant axe. They flew backwards and flew directly out of the abyss and fell on the ground outside the abyss. The two men vomited blood, their blood power was exhausted, and they were torn to pieces by the group of catfish monsters outside in an instant.
Zhang Lingfeng wanted to rescue him, but unfortunately he didn't have enough time.
He could only continue to release mental power fluctuations. At the critical moment, he could only release mental power to attack the catfish monster king below. Unfortunately, the opponent had thick skin and flesh, and the layer of red keratin between his eyebrows could not only release sound fluctuations that made the catfish monster group crazy, but also had the function of defending against mental power attacks.
Zhang Lingfeng seemed to see that the layer of cuticle was even higher quality than the jade pendant on Wu Shaoqing's body.
The jade pendant on Wu Shaoqing's body simulates a sea of consciousness, which makes his mental power fluctuate and involuntarily go to the jade pendant.
The keratin of the catfish demon king has formed a force that can counter mental power. He feels that unless the level of the sea of consciousness reaches 2.0, the mental power fluctuations released can only have a tickling effect on the catfish demon king in front of him.
"Stay here, don't go down!"
"Howl!"
Xuan Yue swooped down, not forgetting to give instructions to Zhang Lingfeng.
As the captain of the Hidden Killing Department, she is extremely powerful and can blend into darkness and light and swoop down suddenly. The Catfish Demon King could only sense the breath of danger but could not capture her figure.
But the keratin between its eyebrows quickly released arc-shaped waves and immediately detected Xuan Yue's direction. It knocked Zhou Qiang back with an axe, and swung the steel fork and giant axe in its hands continuously upwards towards Xuan Yue.
Xuan Yue changed his body movements, and his body seemed to pause briefly in the air. His long sword clashed continuously with the giant axe and steel fork of the catfish monster king, completely attracting the attention of the catfish monster king.
"Whoosh!"
Zhang Lingfeng seized this rare opportunity through the sensing power of his sea of consciousness, dived down quickly, and stabbed the catfish monster king in the center of his eyebrows with his spear.
"Buzz!"
The first and second levels of spear power erupted almost at the same time. The catfish demon king sensed the crisis and quickly broke free from the Xuan Yue sword technique with the steel fork in his hand and swept towards Zhang Lingfeng's spear.
But that's it.
A bloody light appeared in Zhang Lingfeng's spear technique.
Along with it came a gust of strong wind.
The spear passed through the gap in the steel fork like a meteor, at lightning speed, and pierced into the center of the catfish monster king's eyebrows, breaking through the layer of keratin blockade and piercing the center of the catfish monster king's eyebrows.
"This……"
Xuan Yue was stunned.
She felt that Zhang Lingfeng's shot just now was so fast that even she could not defend against it. At the same time, there was a terrifying sharpness in his shooting skills, as if it could penetrate all defenses, allowing the shot to sublimate several times in a row.
Thus, the catfish demon king was killed with one shot.
The scarlet blood in the eyes of the catfish monsters surrounding the seven bases completely disappeared. Many catfish monsters with combat power values above 100.0 seemed to be aware of something and ran into the cracks and sewers.
Those catfish monsters that had not yet awakened their spiritual intelligence and only knew how to obey orders continued to attack humans, but they had lost their previous desperate momentum and ferocious appearance.
"The catfish demon king is dead, kill him!"
Captain Liu looked excited and shouted hurriedly.
The soldiers who were originally on the defensive began to switch from defense to offense and started killing the group of catfish monsters.
"when!"
Zhang Lingfeng pierced the head of the Catfish Demon King with his spear, and the spear tip penetrated into the stone pillar. The body of the Catfish Demon King fell on the stone pillar, and he stood on the chest of the Catfish Demon King.
He could feel that the vital functions of the Catfish Demon King were disappearing as quickly as the tide, and the layer of arrow-shadow slimy armor on his body quickly softened and turned into sticky venom again.
"Did you kill it?"
Zhou Qiang looked at Zhang Lingfeng in disbelief.
"The power of blood."
Xuan Yue said in her heart.
She saw very carefully the shot Zhang Lingfeng fired just now. It was not the power formed by the transformation of skills, but the power from the blood and veins. She didn't expect that Zhang Lingfeng had become a bloodline warrior.
"Captain Xuan, Base No. 7 has been defended."
Zhang Lingfeng smiled.
"Thanks to you for killing the catfish demon king."
Xuan Yue praised.
"How could he kill the Catfish Demon King? You are helping him."
Zhou Qiang said angrily.
"It was the three of us who killed the Catfish Demon King together."
Zhang Lingfeng didn't want to argue with Zhou Qiang. Of course, he also knew that without Xuan Yue's support and Zhou Qiang's attention diverting, he would not be able to kill the catfish monster king with one shot even if he used his bloodline power.
"Get out of here first!"
Xuan Yue admired Zhang Lingfeng even more in her heart.
So the three of them rushed out of the abyss one after another and started slaughtering the catfish monsters outside Base No. 7. The surrounding catfish monsters were visibly disappearing with the naked eye.
The crisis at Base No. 7 was also resolved.
Captain Liu was surprised and quickly reported his achievements to prevent Xu Songlin and others from worrying too much about the situation here and losing the opportunity to kill the catfish demon queen.
As long as the catfish demon queen is killed, the reproduction of the catfish demon group will be affected, and the catfish demons in the large radiation zone may be completely eradicated.
The factory can be moved back to the south city.
The large radiation zone will be able to operate again, and the resource subsidies that South City receives from the Seven Star System Alliance will also be raised to a higher level, which will benefit everyone.
"You killed the catfish demon king."
Zhou Xiaotong said excitedly, especially when she saw Zhou Qiang return safely.
"Zhang Lingfeng killed him."
Xuan Yue reminded that this was about resource subsidies and Zhou Qiang should not be allowed to steal the limelight.
"It was only under our protection that he was able to kill the Catfish Demon King."
Zhou Qiang refused to accept.
"Yes, we all contributed."
Zhang Lingfeng nodded.
Merit can increase points, and points can be exchanged for training resource subsidies and improved benefits, so everyone attaches great importance to merit, and he is no exception.
But he knew that he could not take all the credit for killing the catfish demon king by himself, and it was indeed not his credit alone.
At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng hurriedly looked around.
Fortunately, Ye Chen, Qiu Kui, Chen Duling, Liu Baoqin and others were only injured and were not in danger of their lives.
"I can't contact my master. He is still in the Queen Mother's Lair. I wonder how he is doing now?"
Qiu Kui said worriedly.
"Your master is very powerful, he will be fine."
Chen Duling comforted.
"Your mother is also in the Queen Mother's Lair."
Okra reminded.
Chen Duling's expression froze.
"Captain Liu, what's the situation at the Queen Mother's Lair?"
Zhang Lingfeng asked.
He knew that Yan Fei, Wang Dashan, Zhuge Hou and others, even Lao Deng, and even the city lord Xu Songlin were also in there. Presumably, the number of catfish demon kings there would be very terrifying.
In order to annihilate the Queen Mother, Xu Songlin took away almost all the people in South City whose combat power reached the Bone Phase level.
The martial arts hall personnel and city guards were also inside.
"I haven't received any news yet. I feel the situation is more serious than we thought."
Captain Liu said worriedly.
"Let's go support them."
Chen Duling said, but after she finished speaking, she lowered her head, knowing that doing so would not only fail to help, but would also bring trouble to the people over there.
"I can go take a look."
Zhou Qiang said.
The credit of killing the catfish demon king was snatched away by Zhang Lingfeng. He was unwilling to accept this and wanted to go to the queen mother's lair to kill a catfish demon king and return with great merit.
"You're not going anywhere."
Zhou Xiaotong ordered.
"Level 3 airship?"
"If we take that airship in, even if we encounter danger, we can get out safely."
Xuan Yue was attracted by a third-level airship near Warehouse No. 3.
That airship was Zhou Qiang's vehicle.
"Captain Xuan, if you need to use the airship, our Zhou family can lend it to you, but my brother can't go."
Zhou Xiaotong said quickly.
"The War Eagle only recognizes me. If I don't go up, no one else can drive it."
Zhou Qiang said.
"Then unlock the permissions."
Zhou Xiaotong said angrily.
"Now that I'm here, I must go."
Zhou Qiang would not listen to Zhou Xiaotong's instructions at all. He opened the cabin door, got in first, and said to Xuan Yue: "Captain Xuan, let's go together!"
"it is good."
Xuan Yue did not hesitate.
As the captain of the Hidden Killing Department, her main task is to ensure Zhang Lingfeng's safety, but killing the catfish demon queen is related to the safety of South City, so she cannot retreat at this time.
Even after getting on the airship, she instinctively looked at Zhang Lingfeng.
Zhang Lingfeng noticed that Ye Chen, Chen Duling, Qiu Kui and others were all looking at him. Everyone hoped that he could help. Thinking that without the careful teaching of Wang Dashan and others, his combat power would not have been able to increase so quickly, he sighed and boarded the airship.
"I'll drive it!"
Zhou Xiaotong had no choice but to follow him into the airship.
Now that the crisis at Base No. 7 has been resolved, Captain Liu and his men only need to stay to defend it. If she doesn't go with them, she will be worried about Zhou Qiang.
If anything happens, she can also fly the airship and take Zhou Qiang and others away.
So Zhou Xiaotong drove the airship, carrying Zhang Lingfeng, Xuan Yue and Zhou Qiang, to the lair of the catfish demon queen.
The queen mother's lair is in an underground cave, just below the abyss.
The airship swooped down and headed all the way to the Queen Mother's Lair. Sitting in the airship, Zhang Lingfeng and Xuan Yue saw that the bottom of the abyss was like another world, as if the depths of the large radiation zone had been hollowed out, and the cave was so large that it had spread to below the seabed.
Once the sea water pours in and fills the cave, even the bloodline warriors will not be able to withstand it.
"boom!"
The airship roared, and traces of catfish monsters could be seen along the way. They hid in the cracks of rock caves. There were cave entrances as densely packed as honeycombs on the walls and above the caves, and the catfish monsters lived in them.
When Zhou Xiaotong was flying by in the airship, the airship shot out high-temperature lasers in the left and right directions and upwards, turning many catfish monsters into charcoal. The other catfish monsters were scared and fled in all directions, hiding in underground rivers or deep in their own caves, never daring to come out again.
