21: Chapter 21: Nine Levels of Meridian Opening, 30x Critical Hit!

Meanwhile, deep within the county yamen dungeon.

This place had been transformed into a massive altar of flesh and blood. The walls were covered in eerie blood-red runes, and pools of blood on the ground gathered into a river, slowly flowing toward the center of the altar.

In the center of the altar, a giant blood cocoon, condensed from countless corpses and resentment, throbbed violently like an evil heart.

Chu Mengxi’s figure, like a bolt of ice-blue lightning, broke through numerous obstacles and finally arrived here.

When she saw the giant blood cocoon, even with her firm resolve, she couldn't help but gasp.

"Blood Fiend Asura!"

She recognized this peerless, ferocious creature recorded in ancient demonic scrolls!

This demon feeds on blood and draws power from resentment. Once fully formed, it would be an existence at the Peak of the True Qi Realm, capable of slaughtering cities and destroying nations!

"I must stop it!"

Chu Mengxi didn't hesitate for a moment. Her longsword flourished into a brilliant sword flower, and her strength as a True Qi Realm expert erupted without reservation!

"Mystic Ice Sword Art!"

She gave a delicate shout and thrust her sword!

In an instant, the temperature of the entire dungeon plummeted to the freezing point, and countless ice crystals condensed in the air.

A visible, ultimate icy Sword Qi, like a roaring ice Dragon, slammed violently into the giant blood cocoon!

This single strike was enough to freeze rivers and seal mountains in ice!

However, just at the moment the Sword Qi was about to hit!

"Crack—"

A huge crack split open on the blood cocoon.

A massive claw covered in black scales and shimmering with a metallic luster suddenly reached out from within, accurately grabbing the ice Dragon Sword Qi!

"Boom!"

The claw clenched violently!

That Sword Qi, capable of freezing everything, was actually crushed into pieces by brute force, turning into a shower of ice crystals!

Then, the blood cocoon exploded completely!

A terrifying monster, three zhang tall and resembling an Asura Demon with three heads and six arms, its body burning with blood-red flames, appeared before Chu Mengxi!

Its six crimson eyes fixed on Chu Mengxi simultaneously, filled with tyranny and hunger.

"Spir... Peak of the True Qi Realm!"

Chu Mengxi’s face instantly turned pale.

She had miscalculated.

This Blood Fiend Asura, with the help of the resentment and blood Qi of an entire city's inhabitants, actually possessed the terrifying strength of the Peak of the True Qi Realm the moment it was born!

As for herself, although she was a heaven-sent genius, her actual cultivation was only at the seventh level of the True Qi Realm, a far cry from the Peak.

"Roar!"

The Blood Fiend Asura let out a world-shaking roar. Its six arms waved simultaneously, bringing six blood-red claw shadows that tore through the air, covering Chu Mengxi like a blanket!

Chu Mengxi bit her silver teeth. Knowing that today's outcome was bleak, she did not retreat.

As a Demon Slayer of the Demon Suppression Division, behind her were thousands of commoners!

"Fight!"

She gave a soft shout, circulating her entire body's True Qi, turning into an ice-blue sword light, and met the attack without hesitation!

An earth-shattering battle broke out instantly!

Outside, Lin Feng, who had just gathered enough critical hit points, unhesitatingly threw all his points into the Blazing Sun Art!

[Ding! Consumed 15,000 critical hit points, Blazing Sun Art critical hit successful!]

Rumble!

The True Qi within his body boiled once more!

Seventh level of the Meridian Opening Realm!

Eighth level of the Meridian Opening Realm!

Ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm!

The Ren and Du Meridians were forcefully cleared under the impact of this immense power!

Within his body, the True Qi circulated to form a flawless Great Zhou Tian, endless and ever-flowing!

"Ninth level of Meridian Opening Realm Perfection, 30x critical hit, blade technique at Perfection..."

Feeling the power within his body capable of destroying heaven and earth, a terrifying glint flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes.

"Now, it's my turn to take the stage!"

...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Inside the county yamen dungeon, terrifying energy shocks continued to erupt. The entire underground space was shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The battle between Chu Mengxi and the Blood Fiend Asura had reached a fever pitch.

Ice-blue sword light and blood-red demonic flames clashed wildly. Every collision was enough to shatter rocks and make the earth tremble.

Under the siege of the six arms, Chu Mengxi’s figure was like a small boat in a stormy sea, fraught with danger.

She pushed the Mystic Ice Sword Art to its limit. Every strike contained a terrifying chill that could freeze the Soul. However, the Blood Fiend Asura’s power was too overbearing. Those blood-red demonic flames seemed capable of burning everything, faintly suppressing her icy True Qi.

"Puff!"

Chu Mengxi failed to dodge in time and was struck on her delicate shoulder by a claw shadow. She was sent flying back like a broken kite, slamming hard against the stone wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Her black martial outfit was stained red with blood. Her beautiful face was pale, and her Aura became weak and listless.

On the other hand, although the Blood Fiend Asura was also covered in crisscrossing sword scars and even had two arms severed at the root, under the support of that vast blood Qi, the wounds were actually wriggling and healing at a visible speed!

With one side weakening and the other maintaining strength, her defeat and death were only a matter of time.

"Jie jie jie... Little girl from the Demon Suppression Division, your scent smells truly delicious!"

The Blood Fiend Asura let out a piercing, strange laugh. Its six eyes were filled with greed and mockery.

"Become this seat's food! Your flesh and blood will become part of my power. This is your supreme glory!"

It stepped forward, its massive body carrying an unparalleled sense of pressure as it walked step by step toward the fallen Chu Mengxi.

Chu Mengxi struggled to stand, but the True Qi in her body was already exhausted, and her injuries were extremely severe. Even moving a finger had become incredibly difficult.

She looked at the monster approaching like a mountain. In her cold Phoenix eyes, a trace of despair and unwillingness appeared for the first time.

Was she really going to perish here today?

Just at this critical moment.

A calm voice with a hint of playfulness rang out in the dungeon without warning.

"I say, have you forgotten that there's still another person here?"

"Who?!"

The Blood Fiend Asura snapped its head around, its six eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

Chu Mengxi also struggled to lift her head, looking toward the source of the voice.

At the entrance of the dungeon, a slender figure had quietly appeared at some point.

He was dressed in clean clothes, untainted by dust, looking completely out of place in this bloody scene of Hell.

It was Lin Feng.

"You... you didn't run?"

Chu Mengxi looked at Lin Feng, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Run?"

Lin Feng smiled. "How could I bear to miss such a spectacular show?"

He stepped forward, slowly, step by step, walking down from the entrance.

His pace was not fast, but it carried a strange rhythm, as if every step landed on the nodes of the world's ultimate principles. The Qi of the entire space trembled slightly with his movement.

"An... ant of the Meridian Opening Realm?"

After its initial caution, the Blood Fiend Asura sensed the Aura on Lin Feng and immediately let out a disdainful, wild laugh.

"Hahaha! This seat thought some kind of helper had arrived, but it's just a bug that doesn't know death! Fine, I'll let you and this girl be my snack together!"

It abandoned Chu Mengxi and turned its target toward Lin Feng.

Although the battle with Chu Mengxi had consumed a lot of its energy.

It was still in the True Qi Realm. Wouldn't killing a Meridian Opening Realm Martial Artist be easier than crushing an ant?

It raised a healthy arm, fingers spread wide. A mass of blood-red demonic flames, concentrated to the extreme, gathered in its palm, turning into a giant blood-red fireball that slammed violently toward Lin Feng!!

This strike was enough to level a small mountain!

However, facing this world-destroying strike, there wasn't even a ripple of emotion on Lin Feng’s face.

He didn't even stop his pace. He simply, slowly, raised his right hand and gripped the hilt of the blade at his waist.

"Buzz—"

A clear and resonant blade hum echoed throughout the dungeon.

That sound didn't seem to come from the mortal Realm, but from above the Nine Heavens, carrying the supreme majesty of judging all living beings!

[30x critical hit triggered!]

In an instant, Lin Feng’s entire Aura changed drastically!

An indescribable, overbearing, and terrifying Saber Intent soared from his body!

That blade was sharp, pure, and filled with the murderous will to destroy everything!

In the face of this Saber Intent, the so-called True Qi Realm pressure of the Blood Fiend Asura was as fragile as a joke!

"This... what kind of Saber Intent is this?!"
