Free Web NovelChapter 1878: Chapter 1877: Narrow Escape from Death
The blood-red mouth closed directly, and Li Feng wouldn’t just stand idly by.
In the nick of time, Li Feng drew the King Sword, and the Domineering Thunder Flame instantly swept across the blade. Using the sword as a knife, he swung towards the closing blood-red mouth.
Domineering Blade Style, Gale Fury.
The rampant Sword Qi swept forward, colliding with the fierce beast’s sharp teeth, but couldn’t even make a scratch, leaving Li Feng gasping in awe.
Upon seeing the fierce beast’s mouth lined with dense teeth like a meat grinder, Li Feng was fortunate that his figure was too small to get caught in the beast’s mouth. Otherwise, a single bite would have instantly ground him to pieces.
The crisscrossed Sword Qi merely left the fierce beast with some minor injuries, and the closing mouth was imminent.
Li Feng took a deep breath. At the brink of many life-and-death crises over the years, he knew he couldn’t panic. The fierce beast was not only massive but also extraordinarily powerful, and his sword couldn’t break through at the moment, indicating the beast’s formidable strength.
Li Feng didn’t plan to imitate Sun Wukong by causing havoc in Heaven Palace, who knew what lay inside this beast’s belly.
At this instant, the giant beast’s blood-red mouth had fully closed.
Eying this scene, Sikong Yu gritted her teeth silently but was helpless. She could only hope that Li Feng wasn’t so easily killed, for many times before, he had turned peril into safety.
The fierce beast swallowed Li Feng, and its enormous body couldn’t stay afloat for long, suddenly plunging downward towards the Magma Lake.
From a height of a hundred meters, based on gravitational acceleration, the entire descent wouldn’t last more than ten seconds.
Nestled in the beast’s mouth, Li Feng was sucked toward its throat by a gust of air, and just as he was about to fall into the abyss-like esophagus, a sudden light appeared before him.
Finally found it.
Li Feng turned swiftly, using the King Sword in his hand to slash forcefully behind, Thunder Flame Sword Energy like waves released, and simultaneously, the Sword Qi exploded continuously, offsetting the beast’s suction.
Using this thrust, Li Feng turned back and flapped the Vermilion Bird wings, rushing towards a pit recessed above, this pit appearing like a tunnel, presumably the beast’s breathing nostril.
Li Feng drilled directly into it, swiftly traversing through this at least ten-zhang long nasal tunnel, escaping to freedom.
As Li Feng dashed out, the fierce beast also fell into the Magma Lake, its massive frame plunging like a boulder into the lake, instantly stirring a giant wave, splashed magma like shells shooting towards the volcano walls nearby.
This beast’s fall resembled a miniature volcanic eruption destruction scene, and Li Feng closest to it was directly tossed into the air, fortunately, the magma couldn’t harm him, all blocked outside by Domineering Gang Qi.
Li Feng narrowly escaped danger but didn’t hesitate for a moment, nor did he have time to lament life. Looking down at the fierce beast falling into the Magma Lake and swimming in the magma, the opponent adjusted posture for the next brutal attack.
Glancing towards Sikong Yu and her group along the route of Zhu Rong, albeit temporarily rid of the entangled vines, barely a third of the journey had passed, and when the beast launched its second wave of attack, they’d barely make it into the entrance of the Underground Maze.
Li Feng took a deep breath, suddenly turned around, needing to buy some time, looking down at the enormous shadow beneath in the Magma Lake, without immediately slashing with the sword.
Simultaneously, the Burning Technique operated within him, opening the Eight Gates.
However, Li Feng didn’t recklessly open all Eight Gates at once, the cost is too high, after one strike, even he would be instantly exhausted, so this time he merely opened the Life, Open, and Rest Gates.
Opening Three Gates directly enhances strength eightfold, with the Burning Technique operating within, akin to a high-speed internal combustion engine, squeezing body potential, elevating power tenfold is no problem.
Though Li Feng hasn’t yet broken through to Golden Core Late Stage, after devouring numerous powers, he’s long surpassed ordinary Golden Core Middle Stage.
Adding tenfold, Li Feng’s instantaneous sword strike would at least have the full-force strength of a Golden Core Late Stage.
This power could cover ten miles, causing lands to crack and mountains to collapse, leaving no grass behind.
After all, this is a Molten Lava Volcano, full of Fire Element Energy, Li Feng doesn’t worry about running out of strength.
As the Burning Technique continually absorbs surrounding power, through Bloodline operation inputting into Dantian, the Thunder Flame Golden Core within also bursts with powerful Golden Core Power.
Like a sports car, this Golden Core is the engine, under surging power, waves of Thunder Flame Power converge into the King Sword held in hand.
Unfortunately, the King Sword is a sword, if it were a knife it might be more handy, but at this moment nothing can be forced.
Yet the King Sword isn’t worthless, as a Chen Family’s heavily-funded crafted heritage sword, the material is unique, capable of storing a large amount of accumulated power, meaning this sword can store power.
Don’t underestimate this point, if a normal sword is used only for conduction, there would inevitably be loss, naturally reducing the released Sword Energy, delivering only nine-tenths of power at best.
However, the King Sword, made from star metal, can absorb Golden Core Power like a battery, under charging, capable of unleashing more than double the power.
And this isn’t the King Sword’s limit.
Li Feng continuously infuses Golden Core Power into the King Sword, intentionally suppressing it. The sword’s body instantly burns, entirely crimson, a surge of Thunder Light.
And with Li Feng’s consistent infusion of power, the King Sword’s blade slightly trembles, emitting continuous dragon whistles, as if a latent dragon in the abyss, ready to make a shocking roar.
Below, in the Magma Lake, the fierce beast has adjusted its posture, seeing the human escaping through its nostril, yet not running away.
The beast instantly accelerated, then lunged again, leaping out of the Magma Lake, diving directly at Li Feng in mid-air.
Underground Maze entrance, a chaotic scene, with the demon clan left here suffering heavy losses, fortunately not completely annihilated.
The surviving demon clan supported each other, healing wounds, when one demon clan’s ears twitched, then looked ahead.
"Did you hear?"
"Hear what?"
"Seems there’s disturbance outside." The alert demon clan perked its ears, this demon clan one of the Cat Demon clan, with exceptionally keen hearing.
"Could another force be appearing?" The Demon Cat of the Cat Demon clan frowned.
"Don’t jinx it."
Spoke the Lion Clan, the Cat Demon clan merely a vassal, and presently, the demons outside were led by the young lion clan member.
As for the prior leading demon clan member, now turned to dust, and they dared not have any temper.
Their survival was a miracle, no one dared to utter a word.
"I too seem to hear, sounds like that beast in the Magma Lake is thrashing about, but this beast only makes such noises upon seeing prey, perhaps someone is coming again?"
