Chapter 303: Merging One Sword
Roar!
The furious roar of the Dungeon Lord shook the ground, echoing through the vast underground space, accompanied by a faint pulse of energy. In the dark silence, rocks suddenly collapsed with a thunderous crash.
It lunged forward again, like a mountain, crashing through numerous stone structures.
Its target was the human clad in black armor, after all, it was this human who had driven that damned greatsword into its body.
The Dungeon Lord's form barreled forward like a massive armored beast, but the black figure was as nimble as the wind, dodging effortlessly. The Dungeon Lord's steel-like claws grasped at it, yet that tall black figure leaped gracefully as if made of paper, flipping to the side of the Dungeon Lord and seizing the Twilight Greatsword embedded within its body!
The blade erupted with a brilliant dark purple light. With a swift pull, whoosh!
The sharp edge carved a wound over a meter wide in the Dungeon Lord's body, dark viscous liquid spraying out, shimmering faintly. It was evident that the flesh and blood contained an abundance of pulse energy cells.
The Dungeon Lord was infuriated; its massive mouth opened wide in the darkness, spewing forth a brilliant emerald liquid that surged like a torrent. The Dark Knight quickly distanced himself from this colossal creature.
The liquid splattered onto the ground and rocks with a hissing sound, instantly corroding them and creating a large pit.
The corrosive strength of this venom was astonishing; one mouthful could erode a pit several meters wide. The pit continued to hiss and emit smoke, releasing a noxious stench. If this venom touched anyone, no matter how strong their armor was, even the Dark Knight would likely be severely corroded.
The Dark Knight realized that this Dungeon Lord was no ordinary foe. He quickly retreated in a circular motion, his greatsword occasionally glowing as he sought an opportunity to strike.
Seeing that this human was far too agile to catch, each of its attempts to pounce ended in failure. The speed of this figure was simply beyond its reach; even Lu Fei Fan watched in astonishment. Despite the darkness, Lu Fei Fan could see that the movements were exquisite and swift, devoid of any unnecessary actions.
The Black Knight left numerous sword marks on its body, but the Dungeon Lord would not sit idly by. Its surroundings erupted with swarms of locusts ignited in emerald green light, surging toward the Black Knight and Lu Fei Fan.
The Twilight Greatsword in the hands of the Black Knight formed an impenetrable web of blades, striking down numerous Swarm creatures that lunged at him with a thunderous force. However, the explosions from these Swarm continued to splatter Venom, which gradually stained his armor.
The Black Knight was forced to retreat, but the Swarm surged forth relentlessly from within.
Lu Fei Fan had no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation; he cleverly chose to turn and run back the way he came.
The Black Knight noticed that Lu Fei Fan had already escaped, but the massive body of the Dungeon Lord trembled, causing the ground to rumble and collapse beneath him. The Black Knight leaped and landed gracefully on a stone spike jutting from the cave ceiling, pushing off it like an arrow shooting forward.
With a splat, the incoming Venom quickly corroded the stone spike into molten rock.
The Black Knight spun like a whirlwind, delivering a swift strike with his sword that thundered against the Dungeon Lord!
Clang!
To his astonishment, the Dungeon Lord's body collided with the sword, creating brilliant sparks. The creature then swung its appendage in retaliation, forcing the Black Knight to retreat in shock.
Just moments ago, its body could be easily sliced through by his Twilight Greatsword, yet now, in such a short time, the Dungeon Lord's exterior had evolved to a point where even the Twilight Greatsword could not cut through it easily?
The rate of evolution was astonishing and alarmingly rapid!
The Black Knight quickly withdrew, observing this Dungeon Lord that was continuously evolving in battle. It seemed to be adjusting its weaknesses to counter its enemies—or rather, its prey!
It appeared that this would be a fierce battle.
In the darkness, the footsteps of Lu Fei Fan seemed to linger before rushing back even faster than before.
The Black Knight turned to see who was approaching from the shadows, and sure enough, the figure carrying the Greatsword was sprinting back toward him.
Lu Fei Fan stopped a few steps away from the Black Knight and explained, “A group of even fiercer ones is coming!”
As soon as Lu Fei Fan finished speaking, he drew his sword and faced the Black Knight, remaining on high alert.
Immediately after, a rustling sound like a tide rose from all directions. Before long, countless green lights flickered in the darkness, their sheer number almost frightening. The Black Knight lightly flicked his slender fingers against the Twilight Greatsword, producing a soft chime that echoed around them. The sword's blade emitted a faint glow, illuminating their surroundings.
Surrounding them was a ring of creatures resembling crawling beetles, each weighing several kilograms. Their backs were covered in unsettling bubbles filled with purple Fungal Liquid. They watched the two humans with predatory intent but did not attack immediately.
They dared not overstep the authority of their master.
The Dungeon Lord slowly crawled out of the shadows, and the Fungal Beetles encircling Lu Fei Fan and the Black Knight quickly parted to allow passage for the Dungeon Lord.
“It seems we have no choice but to join forces!” Lu Fei Fan declared as the Whale Devouring Sword in his hand crackled with energy, illuminating the swarm of Fungal Liquid that hesitated to advance. The mass extended across the ground, appearing to number in the hundreds or thousands, sending chills down their spines.
The Black Knight remained silent, raising his Twilight Greatsword, which was enveloped in a fierce Purple Black Pulsation. He did not turn back to strike Lu Fei Fan but clearly accepted his suggestion for cooperation.
“However, I never expected you to be a…”
A roar erupted from the Dungeon Lord, shaking the entire underground space. During this upheaval, numerous stone spikes shattered and fell, impaling many Fungal Beetles. The Fungal Liquid from their burst bubbles immediately flooded nearby Swarms, causing many to dissolve and corrode away, though several managed to evade swiftly.
The Twilight Greatsword vibrated with incredible speed, transforming astonishing swordsmanship into a black dragon that surged through the darkness, crashing toward the Dungeon Lord.
The clang of battle erupted behind Lu Fei Fan. Although he could not see the sparks of light or the explosions of energy, the thunderous collisions made it clear that the intensity of the fight was palpable.
As the Fungal Beetles stirred restlessly during the Dungeon Lord's distracted maneuvers, they slowly advanced in groups toward Lu Fei Fan. He took a few steps back, feeling he could retreat no further; otherwise, the space for the Black Knight to fight would become severely limited.
The Natural Devouring Sword suddenly plunged into the ground with a resounding thud!
Raging Pulse Energy surged into the earth, spreading out like an electric net in all directions. In an instant, the ground shook violently, erupting with explosive sounds and sparks of lightning. Countless Fungal Beetles were instantly turned to sludge by the impact of the energy surge, while the ground emitted hissing smoke and a foul odor.
Yet more Fungal Beetles quickly filled the void around them. Even after Lu Fei Fan's full-force strike, they remained undeterred, charging forward relentlessly, disregarding the Dungeon Lord's restraints.
Lu Fei Fan felt as if he had poked a hornet's nest. He had to summon a Mind Storm within himself, causing the entire underground space to tremble slightly. The Black Knight, entangled with the Dungeon Lord, was suddenly sent flying by a powerful blow. Before he hit the ground, he slammed his Greatsword down hard, unleashing Purple Pulse Energy that exploded and shattered dozens of Fungal Beetles beneath him as he landed and bounced back up.
All of the Pulse Energy began to be drawn in an instant by Lu Fei Fan's mental pull. They spun around him in a whirlwind, quickly forming pale white petals that constructed a Hurricane Circle enveloping both him and the Black Knight. As the Black Knight landed within this Energy Hurricane, he watched as the Pulse Energy Storm swirled like blades, with rolling Fungal Beetles being caught up in the rotating Energy Hurricane and bursting into liquid.
The Dungeon Lord roared in fury, opening its mouth to unleash a Green Energy Sphere that shot out like a roar—this time it was not sludge but pure Chaos Pulse Energy!
Boom!
The Pulse Energy crashed into the Energy Hurricane, creating a shockwave explosion that sent countless Fungal Beetles flying.
The Dungeon Lord suddenly spewed forth a second wave of chaotic energy toward the Black Knight. In response, the Black Knight gathered all his Pulse Energy to shield Lu Fei Fan, effectively providing him with protection.
However, Three Thousand Flying Blossoms was not Lu Fei Fan's ultimate killing move; what he sought was that fleeting moment when the Dungeon Lord opened its mouth!
Lu Fei Fan suddenly pulled back the Black Knight, and the Whale Devouring Sword erupted with a thunderous strike. Countless snowflakes drifted down as a violent Pulse Energy surged from Lu Fei Fan's body, transforming into an astonishing White Sword Rainbow that pierced through the air!
Boom!
The sword rainbow penetrated the Dungeon Lord's green Pulse Energy, colliding in mid-air. The turbulent shockwaves rolled like blades, tearing at Lu Fei Fan's armor, while his Mask cracked open in an instant, revealing his youthful and handsome face.
The Black Knight behind him was oblivious to the shattering of Lu Fei Fan's Mask; he could only feel the intense clash of Pulse Energies continuously depleting Lu Fei Fan's strength. The Dungeon Lord's Pulse Energy appeared robust and fierce, indicating its abundant and thick nature.
In contrast, Lu Fei Fan unleashed all his power in a single strike, the surging Pulse Energy flowing like a river. This astonishing consumption made even the Black Knight feel that it couldn't be sustained for long. After pondering for a few brief seconds, just as Lu Fei Fan felt his body being drained and torn apart, a spring-like Pulse Energy surged from behind him.
This Pulse Energy appeared dark purple; although it felt out of place with him, it still replenished Lu Fei Fan's nearly exhausted energy. He had initially thought one strike would penetrate the Dungeon Lord but had underestimated the terrifying depth of this formidable foe's Pulse Energy.
With the abundant Pulse Energy flowing into him, Lu Fei Fan boiled with renewed vigor, roaring as he infused all of it back into his body. This time, he dared not hold back!
Thus, the White Sword Rainbow was surrounded by dark purple electric sparks that crackled and surged forth, transforming into a thunderous strike!
Boom!
The green Dungeon Lord was violently struck by the combined force of the white and purple Greatsword rainbow, breaking through its massive form and shining light burst forth.
In the next moment, the Dungeon Lord's colossal body crashed down to the ground, lifeless.
Even the Fungal Beetles fell to the ground in a cascade of death.
With a crack, an oval Jin Dan rolled out from the Dungeon Lord's body and landed at Lu Fei Fan's feet.
“Hmm? What is this?” Lu Fei Fan looked at the object rolling out of the Dungeon Lord's body. Could it be its egg? That must be a valuable treasure!
The faint golden glow of the Jin Dan illuminated the somewhat pale yet stunning face of the Black Knight as he turned around.
“Here, for you?” Lu Fei Fan handed over the Jin Dan without any defenses.
Boom!
The Jin Dan suddenly exploded, transforming into a cloud of golden mist that enveloped both of them.
Caught off guard, the two exchanged astonished glances.
It's over!
A thought flashed quickly through Lu Fei Fan's mind.
Sometimes, what you have to fight against is not just this world, but also yourself. Longing can make time feel so difficult and slow.
