Chapter 1 The Blood炼 Passage

After Shi Feng arranged everything, he directly entered the Blood煉 Passage.

Regarding the Seven Sins Flower, all he could do now was increase his strength.

He had already obtained an Epic weapon before completing the mission. If he finished it, the equipment might be upgraded further. If he could get an Epic weapon that he could use, his combat power would definitely increase significantly.

"Is this the interior of the Blood煉 Passage?" Shi Feng looked around, feeling an indescribable sense of oppression.

Inside the Blood煉 Passage was a narrow corridor, and the end could not be seen. On both sides of the passage were engraved numerous blood-colored magic紋 (magic patterns), emitting a faint divine power that made people feel very uncomfortable, as if they were constantly in deep water, making movement difficult.

If he had to fight in this environment, he wouldn't be able to use even half of his strength.

Just as Shi Feng entered, the entrance to the Blood煉 Passage closed. It was impossible to get out unless he used a City Return Scroll to abandon the mission.

With no way out, Shi Feng could only move forward along the passage.

However, before Shi Feng had walked 100 yards, two monsters suddenly emerged from the stone walls on both sides of the passage. Both monsters wore blood-red armor and wielded silver-white spears.

Blood煉 Warrior, Undead creature, Elite, Level 50, HP 100,000.

"Undead creature?" Shi Feng glanced at the two 3-meter-tall Blood煉 Warriors, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, they are only level 50 Elites."

Suppressed by divine power, his strength was limited.

If a Leader monster had appeared, he would have had to summon a Tier 3 Demon to fight.

However, the number of times he could use the Mana Enhancement Scroll was limited, and Shi Feng didn't want to waste it.

After the two Blood煉 Warriors appeared, they charged directly at Shi Feng, their spears dancing. One spear became three, as if they were experienced spear masters. The spear shadows stabbed directly at Shi Feng's three vital points. With the two Blood煉 Warriors working together, even Shi Feng had to avoid their sharp edges.

"Such high skill!" Shi Feng was slightly surprised.

Their spear techniques were already approaching the level of a master. Elite players would have no power to resist in a close-quarters battle.

Shi Feng dodged backward repeatedly, occasionally using his swords to block.

The passage was a bit narrow, and the two Blood煉 Warriors almost completely filled it. It was impossible to绕 (rào, go around) to the side to attack, so he could only fight head-on.

"Die!"

After testing the Blood煉 Warriors' skills, Shi Feng took a half step back, raised the Abyss Blade, and prepared to use Wind Lightning Flash to quickly end the battle.

Suddenly, the Abyss Blade drew a black light.

However, no azure arc of lightning appeared, and the two Blood煉 Warriors were not harmed in any way. Instead, they took the opportunity to thrust their spears at Shi Feng's brow. The Abyssal Shadow in Shi Feng's other hand quickly blocked and deflected the silver spears' attack.

"Unable to use skills?" Shi Feng couldn't help but have a headache.

The advantage that players have over monsters is the use of skills. If they can't use skills, players lose most of their advantage.

However, Shi Feng was no newbie.

Players who were new to God's Domain mainly used skills to fight, but expert players no longer relied on skills to fight, but on their own combat techniques.

The two Blood煉 Warriors were indeed powerful when working together, but their attack patterns were too monotonous and lacked flexibility. For a sword master like Shi Feng, he could find gaps and cause damage in just a few moves.

The Abyss Blade struck the gap in a Blood煉 Warrior's blood-red armor. The hit Blood煉 Warrior stepped back, cracks appeared in the bones inside the armor, and a damage number of -1056 appeared above its head.

"Such strong defense and magic body."

Shi Feng knew how high his attack power was. Not to mention that the Abyss Blade in his hand was equipped with a Magic導器 (magic-conducting device), greatly increasing its destructive power. Against ordinary level 50 Elite monsters, it could cause at least 1500 points of damage. Hitting the opponent would also affect their combat power to a certain extent, not to mention hitting a vital point.

But hitting the Blood煉 Warrior's bones only caused a little over a thousand points of damage, and only a slight crack appeared in the bones. This level was comparable to a Leader-level monster.

However, after repelling one Blood煉 Warrior, the space for combat increased significantly. Shi Feng took the opportunity to turn his steps and suddenly darted next to another Blood煉 Warrior. The Abyssal Shadow stabbed the joint in the Blood煉 Warrior's arm, stopping its attack and forcing it to reorganize its offense. Meanwhile, the Abyss Blade followed up with an attack on the Blood煉 Warrior's vital point.

One joint attack, one vital point attack, launching a flurry of combos, gave the attacked Blood煉 Warrior no chance to counterattack. Its HP dropped rapidly.

Even with 100,000 HP, each attack dealing 1000+ damage added up.

In less than five minutes, the two Blood煉 Warriors fell to the ground, turning into a pile of bones and armor, dropping a piece of level 50 Common equipment and dozens of copper coins. They also provided Shi Feng with a lot of experience points.

After the Blood煉 Warriors died, two streaks of blood-red mist suddenly emerged and flowed into Shi Feng's body.

System: Blood煉 Stone has gained one point of Blood煉 Qi.

System: Blood煉 Stone has gained one point of Blood煉 Qi.

"This is..." Shi Feng took out the Blood煉 Stone dropped by the Nine-Headed 魔蛇 (mó shé, demon snake) from his backpack.

At this time, the Blood煉 Stone was emitting a faint red glow, and the displayed data had also changed slightly.

Blood煉 Stone, can absorb 1000 points of Blood煉 Qi to evolve into a Blood煉 Crystal. (2/1000)

Although he didn't know what the use of the Blood煉 Stone evolving into a Blood煉 Crystal was, Shi Feng thought it should be the key to completing the mission. Moreover, the experience points from the Blood煉 Warriors were very generous, almost three times the experience points of Elites of the same level. Leveling up here was not a bad choice.

Afterward, Shi Feng continued to move forward.

Blood煉 Warriors would appear every so many steps.

However, as he walked further, the number of Blood煉 Warriors appearing also began to change, from two at the beginning to three, and later to four.

But this was not the biggest change.

As the number increased, the attacks of the Blood煉 Warriors also became more犀利 (xī lì, sharp and incisive). When there were four, their spear techniques also became more agile. The changing attack patterns constantly increased the difficulty of the battle, making it increasingly difficult to kill the Blood煉 Warriors, and the time it took also became longer and longer.

After three or four hours of intense battles, even Elite players would feel mentally exhausted and bored, but Shi Feng was already used to the battles in God's Domain.

Fighting these Blood煉 Warriors was actually quite interesting.

Pure melee life-and-death battles were rare.

Fighting the Blood煉 Warriors without being able to use skills, Shi Feng also gradually discovered the shortcomings of his swordsmanship.

That was, he had more than enough attack, but insufficient defense, and had to rely on footwork to make up for it.

So Shi Feng began to try using only swordsmanship to attack and defend, no longer relying on footwork.

As the number of battles increased, Shi Feng's sword defense became more and more complete.

Originally, he needed to dodge when facing the attacks of two Blood煉 Warriors, but after only a few hours of fighting, Shi Feng no longer needed to dodge, and could block with just his two swords.

"Hmm, another change?"

When Shi Feng was preparing to deal with the next wave of Blood煉 Warriors, this time no Blood煉 Warriors emerged from the walls on either side. Instead, it was a skeleton holding a battle blade and wearing exquisite armor. The skeleton's eyes were flashing with a red light, full of灵性 (líng xìng, sentience), completely unlike the previous Blood煉 Warriors who seemed like robots.
