Break through Chapter 436!
Break through Chapter 436!
With a thought, Lin Feng took out the Silent Bone Blade from his personal space.
This is the weapon that Tang Yuan gave him during the Zoo instance.
This knife has an extremely strong tearing and dispelling effect on resentment, spirits, and all beings formed from negative energy.
This is the perfect opportunity to sever the triple shackles on the statue.
He gripped the Silent Bone Blade tightly, slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and strode toward the white stone statue in the center of the hall.
The sound of Xiao Zhixia's laughter rang out in my ears, one after another, growing ever clearer and crisper.
Lin Feng was slightly dazed. He suddenly clenched the cocklebur in his palm with his left hand. The sharp pain suddenly exploded and instantly dispelled the daze.
The stone statue is getting closer.
Lin Feng gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, just as he was about to strike—
Above the thorny crown atop the stone statue's head, black energy suddenly surged, like thick ink being poured into water, churning and surging wildly.
The next second, the world before Lin Feng's eyes completely collapsed. The pure white Silent Heart Palace, the flowing mist, and the standing stone statues all twisted and dissipated in the black mist.
Suddenly, the room transformed into a luxuriously decorated, brightly lit top-floor office.
He sat in a large leather chair, wearing a bespoke haute couture suit and an expensive watch on his wrist.
Before you is a huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, outside which is a bustling metropolis with heavy traffic, and below you are rows of skyscrapers.
On the desk, there is a gold-embossed "Lin Feng CEO" nameplate, next to which are stacks of thick project plans, and the screen displays real-time revenue data.
"Mr. Lin, this is our newly developed artificial intelligence project proposal, valued at one billion yuan. The investors have already signed it, and we are just waiting for your approval."
The sexy female secretary stood respectfully in front of the desk, handing over the documents with both hands.
"President Lin, news from the technology department is that we've cracked our competitor's core code. Within three days, they'll be completely bankrupt, and the entire industry will be ours!"
Another executive strode in, his face beaming with elation.
Lin Feng slightly raised his eyes, his fingertips lightly tapping the table, and a feeling of complete control instantly swept over his body.
This was the scene he had always dreamed of—
As a programmer, he had struggled at the bottom, staying up all night writing code and being exploited by his boss. In countless late nights, he fantasized about standing at the top of the industry, commanding the wind and rain, controlling everything, and never having to look at anyone's face again.
"Very good," he said, his voice deep and authoritative, carrying the cold indifference of someone long accustomed to a high position. "Start the project immediately. As for the competitors, wipe them out without mercy."
"Yes, Mr. Lin!" Everyone responded in unison, turned around and left, and the office returned to silence.
Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the thrill of wielding power.
Just as he was about to become completely immersed in this ultimate dream of power, a sharp, piercing pain suddenly shot through his palm, dense and penetrating to the bone, instantly shattering the illusion before him.
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his fingertips instinctively clenching into fists—
It was the cocklebur that Xia Ning gave him; its sharp thorns pierced deep into his palm, forcibly pulling his consciousness back to reality.
The luxurious office, the respectful subordinates, and the fluctuating revenue figures all shattered like bubbles, and the pure white Silent Heart Palace reappeared before their eyes.
The thorn crown atop the statue's head was still shrouded in black mist, but its alluring power had diminished considerably due to his clarity of mind.
Moreover, Lin Feng discovered that at the point where the third thorn on the left side of the Thorn Crown connected to the crown body, there was a faint golden light that appeared and disappeared amidst the thick black mist.
weakness!
He took a deep breath and pressed the cocklebur in his palm harder, the stinging sensation reaching its peak.
"break!"
With a low shout, Lin Feng suddenly raised his hand, and the Silent Bone Blade, carrying a sharp gust of wind, slashed fiercely down towards the connection between the third spike on the left side of the Thorn Crown and the crown body.
The blade struck the spike with a crisp "clang," the ear-piercing metallic clang echoing through the silent hall.
The moment the blade made its way in, the golden light suddenly surged.
The black energy on the thorn crown began to churn and dissipate violently, and the eerie energy on the spikes instantly became disordered, emitting a "sizzling" sound, as if it were being burned.
Without pausing, Lin Feng slashed down again, and with a crisp "crack," the third thorn on the left side of the Thorn Crown snapped off.
Immediately afterwards, the entire crown of thorns began to develop numerous cracks, which spread along the crown, becoming more and more numerous and deeper.
With a soft thud, the thorn crown shattered completely, and fragments fell from the top of the statue's head, crashing onto the stone slab.
The moment the fragments hit the ground, they turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated into the air.
The moment the thorny crown shattered, the golden chains around the statue tightened abruptly, and the black energy condensed once more.
The illusion arrived as expected—before his eyes lay mountains of gold and silver jewels, a dazzling array of cash, diamonds, and jade, while fawning flattery urging him to indulge in this endless wealth.
Lin Feng smiled faintly. Money was just a number to him, and this temptation was nothing to him.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, the illusion of money collapsed instantly, and the scene of the Silent Heart Palace reappeared.
[Insight into Weakness] The light screen unfolds in time, indicating that the weakness of the golden chain lies in the link in the center of the chest.
Without further hesitation, Lin Feng gripped the Silent Bone Blade, leaped into the air, and precisely struck the chain link with the blade.
With a crisp "clang," the chain link snapped, the entire gold chain instantly lost its luster, became covered in cracks, and then shattered with a crash.
The moment the golden chains broke free, the beautiful snake at the waist of the stone statue suddenly awoke, its tail gently coiling around him. Amidst the swirling black mist, Lin Feng was once again drawn into an illusion—
He was in a luxurious club, the lighting was dim, and a dozen or so beautiful women with glamorous makeup surrounded him.
Some leaned lightly on the shoulder, others reached out to touch, their postures extremely charming.
Lin Feng swept his cold gaze over the women, scoffing, "You lot are far inferior to my six wives!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the surrounding beauties and the scene of the club instantly distorted and collapsed.
Lin Feng's gaze locked onto the snake woman's neck, which was the weak point indicated by the light screen. He gripped the Silent Bone Blade tightly, stepped forward quickly, and the blade precisely pierced the snake woman's neck. The snake woman let out a mournful hiss, and her body quickly twisted and shattered.
All three shackles were broken, and the chanting in the hall came to an abrupt halt.
Immediately afterwards—
Centered on the stone statue, the pervasive mist quickly thinned and faded until it completely dissipated.
The pure white hall was clear again.
Those who had already disappeared into the depths of the thick fog vanished completely, leaving no trace.
One by one, the people still sitting on the prayer mats slowly woke up.
Evelyn was the first to recover, looking at Lin Feng and asking in a low voice, "Did you do this?"
