CHAPTER 433: CHAPTER 103: FINAL STRIKE

"Die!"

The fierce blade sliced through the air like a venomous snake, stabbing straight toward Second Master’s throat. By this time, Second Master was already severely injured, utterly exhausted under Han Fatty’s relentless pursuit, at the point of a flickering, exhausted light.

"Damn you, Han Ergou, even in death, I won’t let you have it easy!"

Blood-drenched, Second Master displayed a ferocious look on his face. Regardless of the pain, he thrust out the palm of his hand pierced by a steel needle, striking Han Fatty’s chest with magnificent force.

Riiip!

Like the sound of torn fabric, Second Master’s throat was instantly torn open with a massive gash.

At the same time, despite his wrist fracturing, the immense Qi blood exploded on Han Fatty’s chest, sending him flying backward.

"You...ugh...ugh..."

Second Master’s completely mangled hand tried to hold his throat, but it couldn’t stop the gushing blood. He stared fiercely at Han Fatty, who was flying away, disbelief filling his eyes.

"Heh heh, old bastard, didn’t expect this, did you..."

Han Fatty dusted off his clothes, climbed up from the ground, and looked mockingly at Second Master, who still refused to fall.

His chest had exploded open from that death-defying palm, revealing a visible palm imprint. However, underneath, there wasn’t muscle and sinew, but an undamaged piece of soft armor!

"Hmph, old man, to deal with your Iron Sand Palm, I specifically bought a D-level soft armor from the black market!"

The D-level soft armor made from Demon Beast Hide Armor possessed the ability to resist Qi and Blood Attacks.

Most of the force from Second Master’s final blow was absorbed by the soft armor, while the remaining power, despite causing Han Fatty’s Qi and blood to churn, was ultimately defended against.

Otherwise, with Han Fatty’s strength, under Second Master’s final counterattack, his entire chest would likely have been shattered.

"Ugh ugh..."

Resentment shone in Second Master’s eyes.

But eventually, with the last of his strength spent, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Died with open eyes!

"Huff huff..."

Han Fatty took deep breaths, swallowing several Qi Blood Pills, feeling the strength in his body recover to some extent.

"Heh heh, looks like there’s still a kid left..."

With a bizarre smile on his face, Han Fatty tucked the spike into his sleeve and returned to the tent.

Inside the tent, which had a large hole torn into it,

the boy named Li Weifeng had dragged Third Brother’s corpse out, covering it with some straw, while collecting the previously scattered Energy Crystal Stones.

The atmosphere was rather eerie.

Han Fatty cautiously walked in through the hole made by Second Master, scanning his surroundings, heart vigilant.

"Kid, are you scared stiff? Don’t worry, as long as you bury this matter and tell me the secret of how you discovered the Energy Stone in the rocks, I’ll spare you."

Cautiously entering, there were no traps hidden around.

He breathed a small sigh of relief.

It seems this kid was just bluffing after all.

"People die, they deserve a place to rest in peace. Even if I can’t take them back, they were companions once; I can’t let them be left to the wild. Don’t you think so?"

With a calm demeanor, Li Weifeng even had the leisure to wipe the bloodstained Energy Crystal Stones clean with a cloth.

As if nothing had happened at all.

In this silent black night, the scent of blood permeated the air, making for an exceptionally strange scene.

"Kid, stop pretending, hand over your secret; maybe I’ll let you off."

Han Fatty gripped the spike behind him and slowly approached Li Weifeng.

A sharp glint flickered deep in his eyes.

Outside the tent, the campfire gently shimmered under the cold night wind, reflecting a field of crimson, with the bodies lying quietly on the ground.

No one had expected the end would be so tragic.

Only two remained.

Soon, perhaps only one would survive.

"You shouldn’t have brought me along..."

A sigh suddenly echoed from inside the tent.

Before Han Fatty could react,

Boom!!!

A torrent of energy exploded like a flood, visible to the naked eye as it rippled like waves, spreading in all directions. In an instant, the entire tent was torn apart.

Simultaneously, terrifying force coursed through Han Fatty’s body, transforming into a column of explosive energy, sweeping across the ground, kicking up dust and stones.

"You..."

At the original site of the tent, a tall and short figure stood quietly.

Han Fatty gazed dumbly downward; a fist was planted in his belly, and his clothes behind were all burst open, even the body-hugging soft armor showed cracks.

Just as he was about to speak, a mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth.

With eyes wide open, he stared at Li Weifeng, unaccepting as he fell to the ground.

"Actually, at first, I just wanted to learn some survival experience in the Underground Cave World with you, and collect some resources for cultivation."

"If you hadn’t harbored malice toward me from the start, why would I have watched you all die here..."

"You reap what you sow, that’s all."

The night sky was silent.

Li Weifeng gathered all the bodies and set them ablaze cleanly.

Then, taking the Energy Crystal Stones in the tent, along with the supplies looted from each corpse, he swiftly disappeared into the night.

Time flowed slowly.

After that adventure, Li Weifeng became even more cautious.

After all, dealing with people’s hidden motives, he carefully cultivated and grew in Pioneer City.

In short time, using the resources gained from that adventure as a starting point, Li Weifeng raised his power to the Third Grade within a month.

Not long after, Uncle Chen finally returned, but by then one of his arms was missing, and the South Fields Adventure Team disbanded due to heavy losses.

Uncle Chen was astonished at Li Weifeng’s strength and strongly recommended him to the officials, but Li Weifeng refused. He had too many secrets and didn’t want to get involved with officials just yet.

Soon after, Uncle Chen left Pioneer City, and Li Weifeng continued his path of cultivation and rise.

In Pioneer City, he acted alone.

Occasionally venturing out, sometimes joining teams, or exploring alone, to gather cultivation resources from the Underground Cave World.

Relying on Pioneer City, Li Weifeng’s strength gradually increased bit by bit.

Simultaneously, Li Weifeng began researching the use of Qi and Blood for weapon enchantments, modifying Alchemy techniques, delving into various arcane arts such as the Qi and Blood Array.

Soon, a magical little shop appeared in a corner of Pioneer City.

Selling various oddly-shaped tools, offering weapon crafting, potion refinement, and more, including arcane arts and Eight Trigrams, offering everything imagined, though no one was guaranteed success as materials had to be supplied by the customer. Thus, the shop only spread within a limited circle.

Through the shop, Li Weifeng collected vast resources, rapidly enhancing his cultivation.
