Chapter 004: Dragon Vein Awakening
"Is this waste still worth the three of us? Or should I handle it?"
Lin Feng only saw a flash before him, a dark figure wielding a long knife charging towards him.
Feeling the black figure approaching like a ghost, Lin Feng rubbed his eyes, and the world spun before him. "Dreaming, I must be dreaming!"
Heartbreak, combined with a blow, drunk and fighting again! Lin Feng's spirit had long collapsed, and at this moment, life and death meant nothing to him.
The long knife transformed into a fierce red light, slashing fiercely at Lin Feng's head. He felt his entire brain hit like a heavy hammer, a roar resounding, and dark golden energy surged from the depths of Lin Feng's soul, pouring out through his limbs and bones.
In the next moment, a surge of golden light erupted from Lin Feng's entire body, turning the surrounding space into gold in an instant!
The black-clad man was directly sent flying by substantial golden energy, retreating more than ten steps before stabilizing, bloodstains on the corners of his mouth.
The black-clad man exclaimed in shock, "Didn't you say his dragon vein didn't awaken! What the hell is going on!"
The leader of the black-clad men looked at the sky filled with golden energy, full of fear. His voice trembled, "This... this is the true awakening of the dragon vein!"
The person beside him said with some trepidation, "The awakening of the dragon vein requires facing life and death, completely putting life and death aside to awaken! Could it be that his dragon vein just awakened..."
"Don't waste time, run!"
Following a dragon roar, golden energy turned into a golden dragon with teeth and claws, descending from the sky. It pierced through the bodies of the three masked men without giving them a chance to scream, instantly turning them into ashes, completely annihilating them!
"Dreaming, I must be dreaming..." Lin Feng chuckled foolishly.
Lin Feng didn't know that it was precisely because he had suffered too much and his spirit had collapsed, combined with alcohol, that his soul was laid bare. It was putting life and death aside that allowed the sealed dragon vein within him to awaken. All the setbacks Lin Feng suffered turned into a great opportunity for him!
Suddenly, a strong sense of weakness struck Lin Feng's heart. In the moment before he passed out, he saw a familiar face in front of him.
In a daze, Lin Feng's spirit whispered, "Senior Brother Nie Tian, I must be dreaming..."
Nie Tian had just seen the flickering golden light here and rushed over. However, he found nothing at the scene except Lin Feng in a faint.
Nie Tian immediately picked up Lin Feng, hailed a taxi on the adjacent street, and said to the driver, "Take this person to the foot of Lingyun Mountain. Here's the fare."
Without waiting for the driver to speak, Nie Tian opened the car door, put Lin Feng in the back seat, and closed the door.
The driver stared at Nie Tian warily, "What's wrong with your friend?"
"Oh, he drank too much, got drunk. Smell him; he's full of alcohol."
The driver looked at the unconscious Lin Feng and said to Nie Tian, "Aren't you taking him home?"
"It's okay. Take him to the foot of the mountain. Wake him up, and he'll find his way back."
As the driver left, Nie Tian rushed to the vicinity of Lin Feng's rented house and got into a fight with two skilled individuals...
Forty minutes later, the driver carried Lin Feng to the foot of Lingyun Mountain. However, Lin Feng couldn't be awakened, so the driver left him in a grassy area and drove away.
Suddenly, a loud thunderclap woke Lin Feng.
Sitting on the ground, Lin Feng felt dizzy and heavy-headed. However, at this moment, his mind was exceptionally clear, filled with thoughts.
"Why am I here? Oh, maybe I walked here unconsciously while drunk."
The mountain wind blew gently as Lin Feng jogged on the rugged path through the mountains. The road was quite dry; every step raised numerous dust clouds, indicating that it hadn't rained in the mountains. It was already past two in the morning, and Lin Feng needed to hurry home.
Suddenly, the clear night sky was covered with dark clouds, and the silver moonlight disappeared in an instant. The night became so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, and even the road within a meter ahead was invisible.
"What's going on?"
Lin Feng immediately stopped, dared not take another step forward in the pitch-black space. He looked up at the sky, but there was nothing to see. The temperature around him dropped suddenly, making him feel chilly.
Rolling thunder...
The sky began to flash with silver lightning, crisscrossing in a dense pattern. After each intense lightning, explosive thunder roared in Lin Feng's ears.
A gust of gloomy wind swept through, and birds and beasts in the mountains cried out, scattering in all directions.
In this eerie weather, now completely black around him, the wind and clouds surged in the sky. Thunder and lightning intensified, as if the end of the world was approaching. Lin Feng, alone on the mountain path, couldn't help but feel increasingly nervous. He had grown up in the mountains and was used to adverse weather, but this abnormal weather was something he had never seen before.
More rumbling thunder echoed, resembling the cry of ghosts and howls of wolves. A series of lightning made the whole space alternately bright and dark, as if the black night were a giant web enveloping Lin Feng, and the entire sky seemed to collapse. Each thunder, as if striking at the bottom of Lin Feng's heart, brought loneliness, helplessness, confusion, and pain. Combined with his existing negative emotions, it made Lin Feng terrified beyond himself.
"Is even heaven going to bully me?"
In the sky, thunder continued to roar without a second of pause. Suddenly, the black clouds gathered towards one point, forming a huge vortex above Lin Feng. It seemed that an inexplicable powerful force was attracting the black clouds and lightning in the sky, converging them over the forest.
The vortex spun rapidly, getting faster and faster. After a moment, a massive black hole appeared at the center of the vortex. Immediately afterward, a white light shot out from the hole. It wasn't ordinary lightning; it was whiter and sharper, containing a powerful energy that ordinary lightning couldn't match. It was a sword-shaped light, substantial and sharp. It illuminated the entire sky and earth in an instant, as if freezing the whole world, turning everything into a pale white.
Time seemed to stop, space seemed to rupture, and all things in the world seemed to vanish in an instant. The entire sky and earth were left with only a blank white, as if everything had gone through a century-long or, on the contrary, a momentary process. This mysterious light, with a long tail like a shooting star, fell towards Lin Feng's position.
Lin Feng, with his eyes tightly closed, suddenly felt something touch the top of his head. At the same time, a sharp pain pierced deep into the depths of his soul.
"Hehe... Demonic Bloodline... The new generation of demons has finally appeared..."
A mysterious laughter echoed suddenly from the depths of Lin Feng's soul
.
"Am I dreaming again?"
But Lin Feng felt extremely awake at this moment.
"Ah!!!"
Lin Feng screamed. He felt something touch him, and this time, it felt very real. Being touched by something in such harsh conditions, the fear in his heart could be imagined. Lin Feng unconsciously moved backward.
In the flash of lightning, Lin Feng saw a person covered in blood lying on the ground, reaching out with blood-stained hands toward him. The person in front of him looked like a zombie from a zombie movie!
Lin Feng was almost scared unconscious. He reflexively moved backward, trembling all over, and this "zombie" didn't rush towards him but stayed still on the ground.
Several minutes passed, seeming like centuries. Lin Feng stared at the person without shifting his gaze. He saw that the person had no clothes covering her back, and judging from the body's outline, she was a woman!
Gradually, Lin Feng calmed down and moved slowly towards the woman.
With a nervous heart, Lin Feng turned the woman over. She was a beautiful woman covered in blood, and her facial features were perfect, albeit barely visible.
As the lightning and thunder dissipated in an instant, the dark clouds in the sky disappeared, as if everything that had happened before was just a dream. The moon hung high in the sky again, casting a soft silver glow over the entire mountain range, as if everything that had happened before had never occurred.
"Big Brother Feng, I thought I would never see you again..."
The beautiful woman immediately threw herself into Lin Feng's arms, tightly hugging his neck. It seemed as if she was struggling hard to support her nearly collapsing body, preventing herself from falling.
