Volume 1 Chapter 146: Skull Legion

  Yang Feng had thought that the sound of fighting he heard was the previous Shinobi of the Yanagizawa and Yamaguchi families who came in earlier, but when he walked to the source of the sound, what he saw made Yang Feng take a surprise, feeling it was also too inconceivable!

  Yang Feng indeed saw two people dressed as ninjas, and they were indeed fighting, but the object of their fight was not each other, nor was it another ninja. They were fighting against something else, or rather, a multitude of somethings that could not be counted - skulls! Yes, skulls, standing upright, holding various weapons in their hands!

  Yang Feng's mind went blank when he saw this scene, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He quickly composed himself and hid on the side, secretly watching. Yang Feng saw that those skulls were unusually tall and robust, although they were just bones, but they looked even more vigorous than a normal person. In the heads of these skull soldiers, a dark red flame was burning, and the flame shot out from their eyes, making them look particularly terrifying.

  Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these skeleton soldiers was particularly strong. Yang Feng estimated that if these skeleton soldiers went out and fought with the outside soldiers bare-handed, there would be no soldier who could be their opponent! Moreover, these soldiers were not afraid of death, the front row of skeleton soldiers fell down, and the back row immediately rushed up, wave after wave of skeleton soldiers rushed towards the two Shinobi, surrounding them tightly.

  However, despite the large number of skeleton soldiers, they had been fighting for so long but still hadn't broken through the defenses of those two divine ninjas. Yang Feng looked at the strength of those two divine ninjas and was secretly shocked, thinking to himself whether his current strength could be their match, and the result he came up with was that although he could win, it would definitely end in him being severely injured!

  Yang Feng hid in the distance and saw that these two ninjas, although from different families, cooperated quite well. One was responsible for long-range attacks, while the other took care of close-quarters defense. Together, they slaughtered batch after batch of skull soldiers who rushed up.

  The ninja responsible for the long-range attack was constantly casting hand seals, then either spewing out a huge fireball with a diameter of about two to three meters from his mouth towards the skull soldiers in front of him, or suddenly appearing many wind blades, cutting the skull soldiers in front of him into pieces, or suddenly appearing a few cold airs, freezing all the surging skull soldiers together.

  The ninja responsible for close-range defense was clearly a highly skilled martial artist, wielding a samurai sword and cutting down the skull soldiers that broke through to their position one by one. This person's martial skills were indeed impressive, but in Yang Feng's eyes, they still didn't compare to his own mastery of martial arts. The only thing that piqued Yang Feng's interest was the samurai sword in the ninja's hand!

  The samurai sword in the godly ninja's hand was extremely unusual, not only was it exceptionally sharp, but all the skeleton soldiers who were cut by it had their bodies sliced open like tofu. Moreover, the sword absorbed the flames burning inside the skeletons' skulls into its blade. As more and more skeletons' flames were absorbed, Yang Feng discovered that the sword's power grew stronger, and the blade's aura extended further!

  As the blade of the samurai sword grew, more and more skull soldiers were beheaded by it! Yang Feng looked at the samurai sword with increasing interest, thinking to himself that he was currently lacking a suitable weapon, and this samurai sword seemed pretty good. Shouldn't he just take it from that divine ninja's hand?!

  Yang Feng's broken sword was incredibly powerful, but it required an enormous amount of true energy. Before reaching the Golden Elixir realm, Yang Feng would have to expend half of his body's true energy just to unleash a three-foot sword aura. Now that he had reached the Golden Elixir realm, unleashing a three-foot sword aura still required a quarter of his true energy, and channeling all his true energy into the broken sword only made the two orange gemstones on its blade glow brighter. This level of consumption was too great, so Yang Feng needed a weapon with low energy consumption but high power - this warrior's knife seemed to fit his requirements perfectly.

  Batch after batch of skull soldiers kept pouring out, as if there was no end in sight. Although the two divine ninjas were very powerful, even ants could kill an elephant with sheer numbers. Under the attack of batch after batch of fearless skull soldiers, the two divine ninjas seemed to be struggling to hold on. However, they still seemed to be persisting. Yang Feng couldn't understand what they were holding out for. He really didn't know what that piece of Qingyun Jade was, yet it could make these two divine ninjas disregard even their own lives just to obtain it!

  Yang Feng still restrained his breath, hiding in the corner and peeking at them. He didn't want to go up and help those two island nation's Shinobi. Who told you two not to stay honest on the island, but instead ran to Huaxia to cause trouble? Dying here is also what they deserved. Although after they died, he would have to face those countless skull soldiers himself, Yang Feng didn't care at all. He would rather face those skull soldiers alone than join hands with the island nation's people! Moreover, Yang Feng had been thinking of snatching that martial artist sword from that Shinobi's hand, and was eager for them to die quickly!

  After the skeleton soldiers had been attacking for so long without being able to defeat the two divine ninjas, a drumbeat suddenly came from somewhere, and upon hearing the drumbeat, the skeleton soldiers immediately disappeared like receding seawater. The two divine ninjas saw that the skeleton soldiers retreated and visibly let out a sigh of relief. But just at this moment, a sound of rapid footsteps came from the opposite side, similar to that of a horse galloping quickly.

  As the sound of horseshoes drew closer, the two divine ninjas became increasingly tense. When they finally saw what was in front of them, Yang Feng noticed that their bodies trembled slightly before involuntarily taking a few steps back. What appeared before their eyes was a thousand-strong army of skeleton cavalry!

  A skeletal warhorse, much larger than the horses of today, galloped towards this side, with black flames erupting from its four hooves, and dark red flames burning within its skull. Each warhorse was also clad in heavy armor, looking like a miniature tank.

  On the back of each war horse was a skeleton soldier wearing heavy armor, these skeleton soldiers were even taller than the previous ones, estimated to be about two meters tall. They all held long spears in their hands and the knives hanging from their waists were similar to the long sword held by that divine ninja warrior.

  This team of skeleton cavalrymen charged directly at the two divine ninjas, each one holding their long spears horizontally with the spearheads pointing straight at the two divine ninjas! The spearheads, emitting a cold glow, were getting closer and closer to the two divine ninjas. At this point, they could no longer maintain their calm demeanor from earlier. Faced with such a pair of cavalrymen, even if they had stronger abilities, it would be useless. Moreover, they had already consumed too much energy in their previous battles with the skeleton infantry, and now they couldn't even think about putting up a fight.

  So when they saw the cavalry approaching, both divine ninjas chose to retreat and turned around to walk outside. Yang Feng watched as the two divine ninjas ran towards him, naturally not allowing them to come over. He lightly flicked his fingers twice, and two strands of Finger Gun Divine Technique's energy silently shot towards the calves of the two divine ninjas.

  If the two divine ninjas were in normal condition, Yang Feng's Finger Divine Art energy would not be able to hurt these two ninjas who had reached the divine ninja level. However, these two ninjas had already consumed a lot of energy before and were being chased by cavalry from behind, so they both panicked. As a result, the two unfortunate divine ninjas were ambushed by Yang Feng!

  Two loud thuds were heard, and Yang Feng saw that the powerful air he released had pierced through the calves of the two divine ninjas, creating two bloody holes on their legs. The two divine ninjas fell to the ground but immediately got back up again, not caring if they had been ambushed or what, and continued running forward.

  But in the instant they fell, the cavalry behind them had already arrived at the back of the two Shinobi, and the two skull cavalrymen's long guns stabbed into the backs of the two Shinobi without hesitation. With a soft "poof" sound, the two Shinobi were pierced like sugar gourds, and then the two cavalrymen exerted force to lift the two Shinobi up.

  Fresh blood fell from the bodies of the two Shinobi gods, landing on the two skull cavalrymen. The moment they were splashed with blood, the mouths of the two skull cavalrymen opened wide, and a roar of excitement came out from inside. Following the roars of the two cavalrymen in front, all the cavalrymen behind also raised their long guns and loudly roared along with the two cavalrymen in front!

  Fierce, it's really too fierce! Seeing this scene, Yang Feng's blood was boiling, and the only two words he could think of to describe these cavalrymen were "fierce" and "formidable"! He never thought that ancient cavalry charges would have such a ferocious and powerful momentum, and the unstoppable force of their advance deeply moved Yang Feng!

  As the blood on the two divine ninjas flowed more and more, the bodies of the two cavalrymen in front had already been dyed red. When the last drop of blood fell, the two divine ninjas were left with only one breath. The two skull cavalrymen swung their long guns and directly flung the two divine ninjas to one side, then led this team of cavalrymen back!

  When the Skull Cavalry had gone far away, Yang Feng waited for a while before walking out. He walked to the side of the two Divine Nins, looking at the two Divine Nins who were already on their last breath. Yang Feng first took the warrior sword from one of the Divine Nins' hands, but what made Yang Feng depressed was that this Divine Nin refused to let go of the warrior sword even in death, still gripping it tightly. In the end, Yang Feng had to break his fingers before he could take away the warrior sword!

  Yang Feng looked at the samurai sword in his hand and found that there were two characters engraved on the blade with ancient Chinese characters. Yang Feng identified them as "Muramasa". It seemed that this samurai sword was named Muramasa. However, Yang Feng didn't care what the name of the sword was, he only cared that it now belonged to him!

  Yang Feng held the warrior's sword and looked at the Shinobi who had been deprived of his sword, staring at him. With a swing of his sword, he emitted a three-foot-long sword aura that beheaded the Shinobi, ending his life! What made Yang Feng happy was that the sword aura he had just released had consumed very little of his true energy, so little that it could almost be ignored!

  This made Yang Feng feel very happy, and he looked at another terrified god ninja who was still left with a breath of life. Yang Feng thought about the fireballs and wind blades he had just used, which seemed to be quite effective, so he used the Soul Capture Technique to snatch away all the memories in that god ninja's brain, and then solved the problem of that god ninja's life.

  After settling these matters, Yang Feng finally walked towards the depths of the cave, where the source of the surging demonic energy was located!
