Chapter 21: Vampire Squad

Roar…

A cold, deathly, and violent aura spread far and wide, permeating every corner of the valley. Wherever the Dark Mist passed, zombies or skeletons broke out of the soil one by one, swaying as they walked towards Hu Feng. Whether it was the wild monsters wandering in the valley or the birds and beasts inhabiting it, they all lay low in terror at this moment, instinctively sensing a majestic pressure from the depths of their souls.

Peak of Tier 9!

Hu Feng opened his arms and closed his eyes, fully sensing the boundless fluctuations of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. After completely devouring the power of Jian Yu, although he had not broken through the final bottleneck to become a powerful Magician, he had successfully broken through to the Peak of Tier 9 realm of a Magic Apprentice. The Magic Crystal and Soul Crystal inherited from Lich King Ovisis were still just a phantom, but the Magic Power and soul power contained within had increased significantly. The power of ancient magics like the Great Spirit Gathering Technique and Great Devour Technique became even stronger!

“Vampire Underground Palace?”

Hu Feng smiled coldly, knowing it was time to make a move. Originally, he had planned to refine the Monastery’s Holy Bead to improve his cultivation before acting; he hadn’t expected that Jian Yu, a powerful Demon Hunter, would deliver himself right to his door.

Killing and plundering were indeed the fastest shortcuts to cultivation!

After erasing the traces of the fight, Hu Feng quickly left, burning a large number of Crystals to instantly return to the distant Lich Castle. After nightfall, driving the Ferrari Chariot, he personally led the massive Lich Legion into battle, heading straight for the Vampire lair hundreds of miles away. Immobile as a mountain, invading like fire; either do not move, or strike straight at the heart!

With the help of reports from the outer patrol teams, the Lich Legion headed west, avoiding wild monsters and patrolling vampires on the road. Under the cover of night, they successfully sneaked near the Vampire lair. Slowly, there were more and more patrolling vampires, spreading their pitch-black wings and flying in groups across the Wasteland.

“Stop!”

After passing through a mountain hollow, Hu Feng raised his right hand, signaling the Lich Legion behind him to stop. The pitch-black Dark Magic Pen traced a line in the air, and a sharp spear whistled out silently, pinning a Vampire scout hiding in the bushes ahead to the ground. One hit was fatal.

These powerful Vampires were naturally good at hiding their tracks, but they could fool the Skeleton Archers scouting the situation, yet they could not fool him, the Lich King!

After breaking through to the Peak of Tier 9 Magic Apprentice, his Divine Sense induction rose with the tide, expanding to a range of several miles. The closer to the Vampire lair, the stronger a cold, bloodthirsty Magic Power fluctuation became, as if a ferocious prehistoric beast was lurking ahead. That invisible pressure made even him feel palpitations, forcing him to be careful all the way.

A wingspan of up to three meters, with fine scales under pitch-black feathers, eyes red and bloodthirsty, and two fangs growing on the left and right sides of the mouth…

Hu Feng carefully observed the dying Vampire scout on the ground. He reached out his right hand and coldly pressed it on the scout’s forehead, devouring his power and soul. Scenes of unfamiliar memories flashed through his mind. With a ‘whoosh’, a pair of wings condensed from Dark Mist suddenly appeared behind him, looking like a legendary fallen Angel. Every feather emitted a cold and gloomy aura. The broad wings flapped gently, and with a ‘whoosh’, he teleported onto the Ferrari Chariot.

“This is Vampire teleportation?” Hu Feng slowly opened his eyes, carefully sensing the power of the Dark Wings behind him.

Devouring the enemy’s power and soul, plundering the opponent’s unique skills or Innate Divine Ability, this was the most powerful aspect of the Great Devour Technique. After condensing the Dark Wings, Hu Feng was like a tiger with wings. He turned and ordered Yisu to lead the Lich Legion to continue forward. Then he flapped his wings and sped away, flying close to the ground and quickly disappearing into the darkness, seeking opportunities to hunt down lone Vampire Warriors.

Locking onto the target’s Soul Fluctuation, approaching silently, then suddenly lunging for a Fatal Strike…

In just a few breaths, more than a dozen Vampire Warriors died one by one at Hu Feng’s hands. There were no wounds on their bodies, only a small hole left between their eyebrows. Often, before they could see Hu Feng’s true face, they only felt a black light flash before their eyes and fell down, their Magic Power and soul disappearing rapidly.

As a Lich King, Hu Feng’s magic had reached perfection, and his close-combat attacks had also reached an astonishing level. Every time he broke through a bottleneck, his body was greatly strengthened! After devouring the blood energy of more than a dozen Vampire Warriors, the Dark Wings on his back gradually began to materialize. His speed became faster and faster as he quickly cleared the scouts on the Lich Legion’s path. Soon, a huge building appeared before his eyes.

On a desolate small plain, a cave as deep as a sinkhole was exposed. Looking down through the entrance, one could vaguely see a majestic building with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, and mysterious Runes engraved on the stone walls. It didn’t look like a lair, but rather like a towering and elegant palace!

Vampire Underground Palace!

The Vampire Underground Palace, which nurtured numerous Vampire Warriors, finally appeared before Hu Feng. Looking at the faint palace deep underground, his feeling of unease grew stronger!

He was about to sneak over to observe carefully, but unexpectedly, a slight strange noise suddenly came from the surroundings. Looking up, he saw that a team of fierce Vampires had appeared around him at some point, surrounding him tightly. Unlike ordinary Vampires, these guys were all clad in pitch-black scale armor and had five-inch-long red nails on their hands. They flew almost silently.

Vampire Squad?

Hu Feng’s expression changed. With a wave of his Dark Magic Pen, he instinctively used earth magic to set up heavy protections. Just as he made his move, many Vampire Warriors whistled over. Their five-inch-long nails were sharper than daggers; with a light scratch, several hard earth walls quickly collapsed. The coordination of more than a dozen Vampire Warriors was seamless, and their movements were uniform.

“Kill!”

Hu Feng shouted harshly, spun his body, and suddenly turned into fifteen black shadows, launching a sharp counterattack against the pouncing Vampire Warriors.

Thousand Layer Slash!

After devouring the power and soul of Jian Yu, Hu Feng successfully comprehended his ultimate skill. The number of changing phantoms was not large, but the attack was sharper. Every Vampire Warrior instantly felt that Hu Feng’s real body was pouncing on them, carrying the pressure of a superior being and a majestic Death Aura.

Puff…

A Vampire Warrior had just raised his hands, but before his sharp nails could touch Hu Feng’s clothes, he suffered a Fatal Strike. His brow was deeply pierced by the cold Dark Magic Pen, and the Magic Power and soul energy in his body quickly drained away. Looking at Hu Feng who was so close, he widened his eyes and fell down in disbelief.

Vampire Warriors were naturally gifted with teleportation. Compared to ordinary Vampires with only Sixth Step strength, this team of advanced Seventh Step guards was almost twice as fast. After surrounding the uninvited guest Hu Feng, they thought he could not escape even with wings, but unexpectedly, Hu Feng was even faster than them!

“None of you can escape!”

After devouring the power of a Vampire Guard, Hu Feng could not help but let out a moan. The Magic Power in his body surged, and the Dark Wings on his back rippled with black light. Seventh Step Vampire Guards! In the eyes of many Undead, this was an invincible existence. But in the eyes of him, the Lich King, they were all plump prey, and not a single one could be let go!
