With a boom, a thick bolt of lightning struck the already dying Sword Saint. The latter's massive body dissipated into specks of starlight, followed by a prompt in Qin Feng's mind.
[Ding...]
[Congratulations on defeating a legendary monster, gaining 500,000 experience, 200,000 gold, a peerless good sword, a sword control technique, and a diamond treasure chest.]
This reward prompt not only echoed in Qin Feng's mind but also triggered a special announcement in the regional chat panel. Everyone still alive in the area received this special message.
The vampire Andrew also received this news and said furiously, "You are too detestable, benefiting from our efforts! We put in so much work to heavily injure this monster, and you just swooped in to take the kill. Truly despicable. I will take your life."
Qin Feng ignored Andrew's threats and focused on his own panel.

At this moment, a prompt sounded.
[Ding...]
[Congratulations on reaching level 100, you have received a platinum treasure chest!]
Looking at the significant increase in his level and the abundant harvest in his inventory, he was very satisfied. He then focused his attention on the Peerless Good Sword.
[Equipping the Peerless Good Sword can increase combat power by 500. Proficiently using the Peerless Good Sword can increase combat power by 1000.]
Upon seeing this prompt, Qin Feng unhesitatingly took the Peerless Good Sword from his inventory and grasped it.
Instantly, a feeling of invincibility enveloped Qin Feng's heart. Holding the sword, he felt capable of piercing anything and defeating everything. This significant boost in combat power, coupled with the Peerless Good Sword's sharpness, instilled in him an unshakeable confidence.
He then shifted his attention to the Sword Control Technique.
It contained the Sword Saint's lifelong learning. Qin Feng only glanced at it and felt he had instantly mastered it. This Sword Control Technique presented no difficulty for him. With his Golden Core stage cultivation, he had already become an immortal cultivator. Such worldly sword arts were child's play to him; he grasped their essence with just a glance.
The Peerless Good Sword in his hand felt as if it had taken root, connected to his very bloodline. After mastering the essence of the Sword Control Technique, he could now proficiently wield the Peerless Good Sword. His combat power had directly soared by 1000, reaching 2000.
Even at his peak, the vampire's combat power was no more than 2000. Now, Qin Feng was confident he could completely kill Andrew. Not to mention the weakened vampire, even a fully powered one, he was confident he could fight. Holding the Peerless Good Sword, he felt like a war god.
At this moment, the fake formation flags had all burned out, and the grand formation had completely lost its effect. The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the mist that had sealed the area vanished without a trace.
Andrew saw the dark clouds dissipate and began to reveal himself. His face was as pale as a sheet of white paper, and his body was scorched black from the lightning strikes, making him appear terrifying. He stood motionless, like a withered old tree.
Although severely injured, Andrew was not dead. His vampire abilities remained. He glanced at Qin Feng and said angrily, "Hand over those treasures to me, and I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer torment and kill you slowly."
Andrew's words struck Qin Feng as utterly ridiculous. He said, "You are severely injured and not fleeing, yet you dare to utter such absurd words to me? You are truly foolish and laughable! Can't you see the significant gap in our combat power now?"
Hearing this, Andrew focused his power on his eyes. His blood-red eyes, capable of seeing everything, stared intently at Qin Feng, then exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? How did your strength suddenly become so great? Killing monsters only gives you experience for leveling up, and you shouldn't have spent that money yet. Why has your strength increased so much? What is going on?"
Qin Feng, holding the Peerless Good Sword, walked towards Andrew step by step and said calmly, "Unlike the way you vampires gain power, we immortal cultivators grow stronger through destiny. When destiny arrives, our power naturally surges. This is something you cannot comprehend. You only understand that the more blood you absorb, the stronger you become, but you cannot understand this connection between heaven and man, this natural way, nor can you understand what it means to be one with the sword."
As Qin Feng drew closer, Andrew felt fear. Through his eyes, he knew he could not defeat the person before him. The opponent's strength was far superior to his. He needed to absorb more human blood to even stand a chance.
Although he couldn't confront Qin Feng directly, escaping was easy for him. As a vampire, his escape methods and survival skills were his pride.
With this thought, he sneered and said, "In that case, we shall meet again. Next time we meet, I will surely take your life!"
With that, he turned and fled. His speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, he was a thousand meters away from Qin Feng.
Seeing the opponent flee, Qin Feng was unhurried. Holding the Peerless Good Sword, he casually swung it towards the distant Andrew.
A thousand meters away, Andrew suddenly felt the surrounding space shift. Several golden flashes attacked from all directions, instantly piercing his body.
He fell to the ground, looking at the sword light embedded in him!
This sword was not physical but composed of light, incredibly wondrous. If blood hadn't gushed from the light, he would have thought it wasn't real.
A sword made of light had pierced him and was draining his life force. It was simply unimaginable.
Now he finally understood what it meant to be an immortal cultivator. The opponent's attack was like magic, catching him completely off guard. Even from a thousand meters away, a casual swing of his hand could produce such a powerful attack. A vampire like him had never possessed such a skill and never would.
Andrew closed his eyes and died completely.
Qin Feng looked at the Peerless Good Sword in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.
The Sword Control Technique was indeed magical, and the Peerless Good Sword was truly powerful. It could kill from a thousand meters away. This improvement in his own strength made him feel extremely satisfied.
He glanced at the numerous corpses in the area, sighed, and then left.
When he returned to Ye Shen's location, the latter was jumping with joy.
"You're amazing! I also received a lot of experience and gold from the legendary monster you killed. We've had such a rich harvest this time. By the way, did you finish off that vampire named Andrew? Once you controlled that formation, I could no longer sense what was happening in that area. You killed him, right?"
Qin Feng nodded.
