Chapter 147: At Wit's End

  After Yang Feng had absorbed the memories of another divine ninja, he also casually took care of this divine ninja's life. From his memories, Yang Feng understood that the technique used by this divine ninja was the Five Elements Escape Technique, which utilized the Nine-Character True Words and some special hand seals to perform the magic. Looking at these, Yang Feng also became a little interested, but now was not the time for learning, finding the source of the demonic energy was more urgent.

  Yang Feng's right hand emitted a wisp of Jiu Yang Shen Gong true energy, turning the two corpses of the divine ninjas into ashes. The demonic aura here was so abundant that Yang Feng felt that perhaps the two corpses would undergo some kind of strange transformation, and it was better to completely destroy them.

  After doing all this, Yang Feng followed the direction of the surging demonic energy and walked slowly inside. He was extremely careful, having seen the scene earlier, he knew that if he rushed in recklessly, it would be troublesome to encounter those skull soldiers. His purpose for coming here was to find the source of the demonic energy, as long as he could destroy the source, there was no need to confront those skull soldiers.

  Yang Feng was displaying his lightness skill, holding back his breath, and quietly approaching the source of the demonic energy. Yang Feng didn't know how big this underground world was, but he knew that the deeper he went, the larger the space became, and the colder and more concentrated the demonic energy in the air became!

  Moreover, Yang Feng also discovered that the samurai sword in his hand, called Muramasa, could not only absorb the flames burning inside the skulls of the skeleton soldiers but also absorb the demonic energy in the surrounding air. Yang Feng saw that every thread of demonic energy would be absorbed into the sword as it approached the blade, and after absorbing the demonic energy, the samurai sword actually emitted a faint red glow.

  Yang Feng looked at the strange samurai sword in his hand, and was shocked in his heart. He didn't know what this samurai sword was forged from, but it actually had such an ability. Looking at the two characters "Mura" on the blade, Yang Feng didn't know what they meant, but he felt that these two characters were not suitable for this sword. This samurai sword would be more suitable if it was called a "Yao Dao" (Demon Sword)!

  Looking at the demon sword absorbing the demonic energy, Yang Feng didn't pay much attention to it and just let the demon sword absorb it. Yang Feng estimated that this demon sword might need these demonic energies to evolve into an even more powerful one, and if the demon sword became more powerful, it would be more convenient for him to use in the future. Such a beneficial thing for himself, Yang Feng naturally wouldn't stop it.

  Continue walking forward, Yang Feng felt that he had been walking downhill all the time, and didn't know how deep he was from the ground now. Yang Feng estimated that at his speed, no matter what, he should have walked more than ten miles by this time, but still hadn't reached the end. The space in front of him was actually getting bigger and bigger.

  After walking forward for about an hour, Yang Feng stopped, not because he didn't want to continue moving forward, but because he couldn't move forward. He saw a countless number of flames appearing in front of him, and those flames were burning from the skulls of the skeleton soldiers!

  A sea of skull soldiers blocked Yang Feng's view, completely sealing off the path ahead and leaving no room for him to sneak past. Yang Feng was baffled as to why these skull soldiers had all gathered here. He had traveled over ten miles from where he killed those two divine ninjas without encountering a single skull soldier, so why did he suddenly encounter so many here? Could it be that the two divine ninjas had also arrived here and tried to force their way through, but failed, and were then chased back to the previous location? This seemed like the only plausible explanation. Whatever the case, Yang Feng was now in trouble!

  Looking at the countless skull soldiers stationed in front of him, Yang Feng also had no way out. He wanted to sneak past quietly, but it was impossible. The entire passageway was already occupied by the skull soldiers, without a single gap for Yang Feng to slip through unnoticed. Yang Feng could have flown over using his Qi, but when he saw the rows of skull soldiers holding strong bows and crossbows, he abandoned this idea. He didn't want to be shot down like a bird by those archers while flying over.

  Yang Feng hid in a place far away from the skull soldiers, thinking of ways to safely pass through this area. After thinking for a while, Yang Feng really thought of a way, thanks to his absorption of the divine ninja's memory, and learned about the Five Elements Escape Technique, finding the method of Earth Escape.

  On the ground and in the air, it was impossible to pass through, so only underground was safe. So when Yang Feng saw this earth escape technique, he suddenly became excited and began to practice the earth escape technique. This earth escape technique was much more brilliant than the ones used by those ninjas sent by the Liu Shengyuan faction to assassinate him. Those ninjas who came to assassinate Yang Feng only hid underground with their earth escape techniques, but couldn't move. But the earth escape technique that Yang Feng found in the divine ninja's memory not only allowed himself to hide underground, but also allowed movement, and the stronger the cultivator was, the faster the speed of movement would be, it was said that it could reach the level of moving thousands of miles in an instant!

  Yang Feng practiced the hand seals and incantations of Earth Escape Technique several times, feeling that he could use it, so he started to cast it. The hand seals were thrown out one after another, and when throwing out the last hand seal, Yang Feng lightly spoke out the word "Dou" from the nine-character incantation, then saw his figure flash and disappear on the spot!

  Yang Feng saw a ground full of withered bones when he first entered the cave, but as he went deeper inside, they were gone, so he could use his earth escape technique. However, when Yang Feng used his earth escape technique to enter underground, he suddenly felt a strong pressure squeezing towards him from the earth. This pressure was coming from the ground, and Yang Feng quickly spread the true energy in his body around his surroundings, forming a protective aura, which made him feel slightly better.

  After calming down his tense mood, Yang Feng continued to perform the Earth Escape Technique and started moving forward. When he performed the technique earlier, Yang Feng had already determined the direction, so now he just needed to keep walking straight ahead. Since this was Yang Feng's first time performing the Earth Escape Technique, he wasn't very skilled at it yet. Moreover, the pressure underground was really too great, so Yang Feng's speed wasn't fast. However, Yang Feng wasn't in a hurry either, and he slowly moved forward bit by bit. Safety was the most important thing, although he was currently underground, who knew if those skeleton soldiers could discover him?! So it was better to move forward slowly and steadily!

  Yang Feng was slowly moving forward, using the Earth Escape Technique. As he became more familiar with the technique from behind, Yang Feng's speed gradually increased, but he still proceeded cautiously. Until Yang Feng felt that he had walked far enough and wanted to know if he had already left the range of those skull soldiers, Yang Feng expanded his spiritual awareness outward, wanting to check the situation on the ground.

  However, Yang Feng's spiritual awareness had just been released when it went wrong and was discovered by someone. His spiritual awareness had just exposed the surface when he found that he had already passed through the skull infantry area, but still remained in the position of the skull cavalry. And when his spiritual awareness had just probed out of the ground, the skull cavalry on the ground suddenly turned their skull heads to the place where Yang Feng's spiritual awareness was located. The flames in the eyes of the skull heads jumped violently, and then the long guns in the hands of the skull cavalry were thrown towards the place where Yang Feng's spiritual awareness was released like sharp arrows.

  Yang Feng used his spiritual awareness to see the long spear that was fiercely shot at him, and he was suddenly startled out of a cold sweat. He immediately continued to run forward with the Earth Escape Technique. Unfortunately, he had already been exposed, and wanting to escape again was already too late. One after another, the long spears were thrown at Yang Feng, and several times they almost stabbed him, scaring Yang Fan's heart into a jump.

  Yang Feng also tried to escape further down, but unfortunately his strength was only at the early stage of Jindan, and the pressure from the earth was too great. He was already lucky to be able to move quickly underground, and he didn't have the strength to continue escaping deeper! And Yang Feng couldn't understand why these skeleton soldiers could grasp his movements so accurately?! He had already retracted all his aura!

  Yang Feng didn't know that these skeleton soldiers were actually the vengeful spirits of the dead who couldn't leave their bodies, and the skulls on their heads were the flames of their souls. They were a cluster of spiritual energy, which was why they were so sensitive to Yang Feng's aura and had a precise grasp of his movements.

  If Yang Feng didn't use Ling Jue, these skeleton soldiers might not have discovered Yang Feng's aura, but after Yang Feng used Ling Jue, he naturally couldn't escape the pursuit of these skeleton soldiers!

  Yang Feng is now extremely depressed, never thought that he would be chased underground like a mouse, it's better to go out and have a good fight! Moreover, using the earth escape technique continuously consumes a lot of energy in his body. Once his internal energy is depleted, Yang Feng will be even more dangerous when he goes out again. So, Yang Feng finally directly escaped towards the ground surface, his figure flashed and appeared on the surface!

  Yang Feng had already opened up his spiritual awareness, scouting out the location he would be in after jumping out of the ground. He found that there were several skeleton cavalrymen in the area, so as soon as he emerged, he drew out his demonic knife and with one horizontal slash, chopped off the heads of two skeleton cavalrymen before landing on the ground.

  Yang Feng looked around and suddenly felt a sense of desperation in his heart. Although he had already charged through the Skull Infantry's area, the Skull Cavalry before him was countless, surrounding him from all sides!

  Looking at himself being surrounded, Yang Feng secretly sighed that he was unlucky, and immediately swung his sword to kill the surrounding cavalry. In this situation, he could only break through by force. As long as he broke through the range of these cavalry, he would have a chance to escape!
