"Careful!!!"
Seeing the Ghost Knight charging towards Qin Feng, Hu Ling and Snow Zither instinctively cried out.
But at this moment, Qin Feng also moved.
Qin Feng raised the Qing Ji Sword in his hand and blocked it in front of himself.
The next moment, just as the Ghost Knight charged in front of him, Qin Feng suddenly dodged to the side.
"Sizzle... crackle..."
The spear scraped against the Qing Ji Sword, producing a harsh, ear piercing sound, accompanied by a shower of sparks.
The powerful force, transmitted through the blade of the Qing Ji Sword to Qin Feng's hand, caused his tiger's mouth to split open, leaving him in considerable pain.
But Qin Feng held on!
Not only did he withstand the Ghost Knight's attack, but he also spun around on the spot and, with a swift motion, slashed fiercely at the Ghost Knight on horseback.
"Bang..."
The Qing Ji Sword struck the Ghost Knight's armor, instantly emitting a dull, heavy clang of metal.
Although the Ghost Knight on horseback was not injured, he stumbled, almost falling off his horse.
However, this Ghost Knight was not to be underestimated.
Experienced as he was, he merely adjusted his posture and stabilized himself, riding his warhorse away from Qin Feng.
Seeing this, Qin Feng bit his lip in frustration but did not give chase.
After all, Qin Feng was currently unable to pursue cavalry on a plain.
What's more, the Ghost Knight was not alone!
Behind him, more Ghost Knights had already formed a formation and were also charging fiercely towards Qin Feng!
"Damn it!"
Watching the one hundred eighty to ninety Ghost Knights howling towards him, Qin Feng couldn't help but curse under his breath.
But at this moment, Hu Ling suddenly darted out from beside Qin Feng.
"Damn it! This old lady has guts!!!"
Staring intently at the Ghost Knights before her, Hu Ling suddenly let out a loud roar.
Amidst her roar, Hu Ling charged towards the Ghost Knights, simultaneously pulling out four or five magic bombs from her personal storage pouch.
"Boom..."
A thunderous explosion erupted from the ground.
Four or five magic bombs detonated simultaneously.
The ferocious destructive power not only tore Hu Ling's body into pieces but also obliterated several Ghost Knights in the vicinity.
This scene greatly surprised Qin Feng.
He hadn't expected that the seemingly delicate Hu Ling would possess such a spirited side.
But very quickly... Qin Feng smiled, and he looked at Snow Zither beside him.
"Heh heh, it seems self destruction is our tradition... wouldn't it be a bit unsociable not to do it once?"
Qin Feng teased with a smile, which even made the usually expressionless Snow Zither reveal a knowing smile.
Suddenly, Qin Feng and Snow Zither both moved.
The two of them, without hesitation, charged towards the Ghost Knights rushing at them.
Just as the two were about to make contact with the Ghost Knights.
"Rumble..."
A heaven shaking explosion roared forth.
Surging flames, mixed with magic, swept through like a ferocious beast.
In an instant, eight or nine Ghost Knights were directly blown to smithereens.
Many more Ghost Knights were scorched by the flames, suffering unbearable pain, and eventually collapsed to the ground.
With this single strike, Qin Feng and Snow Zither actually killed over twenty Ghost Knights.
Such a feat was enough to be proud of.
However, after this strike, Snow Zither died on the spot, and Qin Feng was also blown to pieces, leaving only his shattered upper body, barely clinging to life.
"Clang clang... clang clang..."
In a daze, Qin Feng heard a sound.
It must have been the sound of armor clashing... Qin Feng wasn't entirely sure.
However, things were exactly as he had guessed.
At this moment, the leading Ghost Knight actually dismounted and slowly walked towards Qin Feng.
He didn't know what this ghost knight was thinking.
In his hollow eye socket, a ball of blue flame suddenly rose.
The Ghost Knight actually stopped beside Qin Feng, clenched his fist, and tapped his chest with his right hand, performing a knight's salute!
It was a pity... Qin Feng did not see this scene.
Because at this moment, he had already closed his eyes, losing his vitality... "Ding... Lord Trial ended..."
"During the Lord Trial, you led your citizens to survive for a total of 18 days, killing Mortal Rank * 12681, Elite Rank * 2647, Special Elite Rank * 1, Trial Participants * 6, for a total trial score of 488316..."
"Ding... Based on your trial score, you are awarded purple radiance rank lord crystal * 1..."
"purple radiance grade?!"
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Qin Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking somewhat shocked.
The quality grades of items, consistent with treasure chest grades, from low to high, are: Whiteboard, Bronze, Black Iron, Silver, Gold, Purple Radiance, Legendary, and Mythical Grade.
Qin Feng had thought that although he and Hu Ling had merged their territories and killed twice as many magical beasts as others.
But after all, he had only survived for 18 days and only defeated 15 waves of magical beasts.
Based on this, he figured that getting a gold grade lord crystal would probably be his limit.
But he hadn't expected to ultimately receive a purple radiance grade lord crystal...
"Is it because of that Special Elite Rank? That ghost ship?"
Qin Feng secretly guessed, but his heart was stirring with excitement.
Rarity makes things precious, and the quality of the lord crystal was naturally the higher the better.
It should be known that only two or three people in the entire Human Race ever obtained a top tier Mythical Grade lord crystal.
And looking at the entire myriad races, they were also few and far between, a rare sight indeed.
As for Legendary Grade lord crystals, although the number of people who obtained them was much higher than for Mythical Grade, in terms of the total population of the Human Race, it was still pitifully small.
Looking at it this way, a purple radiance grade lord crystal was already considered excellent!
Thinking of this, Qin Feng couldn't help but be happy, and even a little secretly pleased.
However, at this moment, a prompt sounded again in Qin Feng's mind.
"Ding... Due to killing the Special Elite Grade ghost war boat, you have additionally received a lord crystal Enhancement Stone (Island)..."
"Do you wish to use the lord crystal Enhancement Stone (Island)?..."
"Upgrade by one quality level? Island?"
Listening to the prompt, Qin Feng was slightly stunned.
But in the next moment, Qin Feng was suddenly overjoyed.
A purple radiance grade lord crystal, after being upgraded by one quality level, wouldn't that be a Legendary Grade lord crystal?!...
As for limiting the territory type, what did that matter!
There were many territory types, such as plains, mountains, forests, lakes, islands, and some rare ones like ruins, battlefields, cemeteries, dragon lairs, and undersea territories, and so on.
But so what!
Admittedly, territory type would affect the development of the territory to some extent.
But if a territory had no resources, then no matter what type it was, it would be useless.
And what determined the abundance of territory resources was the quality of the lord crystal!
What's more, a Legendary Grade island type territory had additional benefits!
Thinking this, Qin Feng directly used the lord crystal Enhancement Stone.
"Ding... Using lord crystal Enhancement Stone (Island), purple radiance grade lord crystal has been upgraded to Legendary Grade lord crystal (Island)..."
"Ding... lord crystal merging in progress, 24 hours remaining until merge completion..."
