Chapter 148: Golden Silkworm Devours Soul
Yang Feng appeared on the ground and swung his demonic knife, making a breakthrough. Although Yang Feng didn't have any knife skills in mind, he had practiced swordsmanship for some time before. Although there was a huge difference between swordsmanship and knife skills, he had no choice but to use his practiced swordsmanship with this demonic knife.
Although the swordsmanship and knife methods are very different, due to the samurai sword and Huaxia's long sword actually not having a big difference in shape, no more than the samurai sword being curved and single-edged, while Huaxia's long sword is double-edged but has no curvature. So when Yang Feng uses his hand-held demon knife to perform swordsmanship, although it looks a bit awkward, its power is still quite good.
The demon sword was extremely sharp, so sharp that it surprised Yang Feng. The skull cavalry in front of him were all wearing heavy armor and thick helmets, but the demon sword in their hands easily cut through the heavy armor, splitting the skull cavalry in two. The thick helmet was cut open like a piece of paper, and then the soul fire inside the skull cavalry's head was absorbed into the demon sword.
Yang Feng held the demon sword in his hand, coming and going freely among the many skull cavalrymen. Every time he passed through a place, he would leave behind several corpses of skull cavalrymen. The soul fire of these skull cavalrymen seemed to be much stronger than those outside skull infantrymen. After absorbing the soul fire of these skull cavalrymen, the red glow on the sword body became clearer and clearer, and it could even automatically emit a sword glow without Yang Feng inputting true energy!
As he watched the changes in the demon knife, Yang Feng's heart became even more excited, and the demon knife in his hand killed even more vigorously. However, although Yang Feng's speed was very fast, shuttling back and forth among the cavalry like a gust of wind, no one could stop him. But as the chaos on Yang Feng's side grew, more and more skeleton cavalry rushed over here, and even those skeleton infantry came over. Suddenly, they surrounded the battlefield where Yang Feng and his men were fighting, making it impossible to escape!
Yang Feng is now surrounded, he killed a batch of skeleton soldiers, and then more skeleton soldiers will rush up. Sometimes Yang Feng almost simultaneously faced the attack of ten or so cavalry spears, the situation is getting more and more dangerous. At this time, a white awn suddenly flew out from Yang Feng's arms, and then a huge object appeared in front of Yang Feng. This huge object was none other than Xiao Qing, who had transformed into his true form!
Xiao Qing is now a hundred and fifty meters long, with a diameter of three to four meters thick. As soon as it appeared and fell to the ground, it crushed a large group of skull cavalry to death. Then, its massive snake tail swept across, instantly sweeping away another large group of skull cavalry, sending them rolling out in all directions, making Yang Feng's surroundings suddenly much more spacious!
Xiao Qing's sudden appearance instantly eased Yang Feng's pressure, and seeing Xiao Qing so brave, Yang Feng immediately charged forward as well. At this time, Yang Feng no longer used any specific martial arts moves, the demonic knife in his hand simply chopped, hacked, stabbed, and slashed with basic movements. However, although the movements were simple, the power was much greater than when Yang Feng used sword techniques earlier. Every swing of the knife emitted several feet of blade energy, and wherever the blade energy passed, everything was cut down, nothing could stop it!
Yang Feng gradually came to understand the correct way to use the demon blade, killing and slowly comprehending at the same time. The number of skeleton soldier corpses around him grew, and the soul fire of those skeleton soldiers who were cut down by the demon blade was absorbed by it, making the demon blade increasingly powerful. Yang Feng also gradually became immersed in the thrill of slaughter, until later, every knife he swung could take out several skeleton cavalrymen at once!
Compared to Yang Feng's side, Xiao Qing's side was more efficient! Every time Xiao Qing swung its massive tail, it would sweep away a large group of skull soldiers. Those skull soldiers who were swept by its tail were all crushed to powder, and their soul fires also dispersed into the air. Sometimes, Xiao Qing would even spit out a mouthful of cold air, directly freezing the incoming skull soldiers into ice blocks, thus extinguishing their soul fires.
However, in most cases, Xiao Qing still only uses its huge tail to sweep, but this way, the skull soldiers in front of it will have an opportunity to attack it. Only at this time does Xiao Qing spit out a mouthful of cold air to deal with the skull soldiers in front of it. These cold airs are all condensed from the energy inside Xiao Qing's body, and using one will reduce one, so Xiao Qing rarely uses them and tries to fight with its own body as much as possible.
As Xiao Qing's Taoist practice improved, his body became increasingly powerful, not only did his strength increase greatly, but his defensive power also grew exponentially. The scales on his body had truly reached the realm of being impervious to swords and guns. Those skeleton soldiers' long spears that stabbed at him couldn't even penetrate Xiao Qing's scale defense, unable to cause him the slightest harm!
Xiao Qing swept away a large group of skull soldiers, causing the soul fire in the air to grow thicker and more abundant. Clusters of jumping soul fire floated in the air, growing denser and slowly gathering above Yang Feng and Xiao Qing's heads. These soul fires then began to merge together, forming a human shape composed of gathered soul fire, which was about to pounce on Yang Feng!
Yang Feng was now fully immersed in the thrill of chopping, not paying much attention to the situation above his head, so that the human figure gathered by the soul fire quickly arrived in front of Yang Feng, but Yang Feng still did not feel it.
At this moment, Yang Feng's chest suddenly transmitted a tearing pain, and then a thumb-sized golden light burst out of his chest. After flying out of Yang Feng's chest, it rushed towards the human-shaped monster composed of soul fire in the air, and the golden light seemed to emit a very happy chirping sound!
That golden light flying out of Yang Feng's mouth was the Golden Silkworm Mother that had already evolved into a six-winged golden silkworm larva. It was originally still lying motionless on Yang Feng's heart, but its plump head suddenly lifted up, and then it sniffed around like a small dog smelling something delicious, and then became extremely excited, directly drilling out of Yang Feng's mouth and flying towards the sky.
The evolution of the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm requires not only the sacred blood of Jiuli, but also a large number of souls. The Six-Winged Golden Silkworm is violent and bloodthirsty by nature, and it loves to devour souls. The soul fires here are all derived from powerful military souls, making them an unparalleled delicacy for the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm!
So when the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm smelled such a delicious smell right in front of it, it didn't care whether Yang Feng had ordered it to act or not, and directly drilled out of Yang Feng's chest, flying towards its deliciousness. This made Yang Feng suffer a heart-wrenching pain for no reason! However, the larva of this Six-Winged Golden Silkworm was also formidable, with Yang Feng's body transformed into a preliminary witch tribe by the Nine Li Holy Blood, it was actually torn open so easily by it!
Yang Feng looked at the wound on his chest, then raised his head to look at the golden light that had flown out. He knew that it was the Golden Silkworm Mother that had drilled out of his body. However, Yang Feng was somewhat puzzled as to why the Golden Silkworm Mother had acted without his command. But when he saw the Golden Silkworm Mother fly into the humanoid creature composed of soul fire above his head, he saw that the creature was rapidly shrinking, with a large amount of soul fire being absorbed by the Golden Silkworm Mother!
Yang Feng looked at Golden Silkworm Mother and was delighted to see that she had such an ability. He didn't know that Golden Silkworm Mother had already evolved into a larva, although he saw a pair of thin, transparent wings on her back when he used his inner sight. However, he didn't think much of it and thought it was just a normal evolution for Golden Silkworm Mother. But unexpectedly, after growing wings, Golden Silkworm Mother also had the ability to devour souls!
Yang Feng was chopping down the incoming skull soldiers while watching the Golden Silkworm Mother in the air, continuously devouring the soul fire. This Golden Silkworm Mother was left to Yang Feng by his mother, and he had always thought that it could only cast silkworm techniques, but unexpectedly, it had such an ability. Just as he was thinking about this, he felt a numbness in his chest, and when he looked down, Yang Feng found that the wound on his chest had actually scabbed over and fallen off, without leaving any trace!
When did my body's recovery ability become so powerful? In less than a minute, the wound has scabbed and fallen off without leaving any scars. To think that in the past, it would take at least ten days or half a month to scab over! Now it's healed so quickly!
This was another thing that made Yang Feng feel like his body was a monster, but fortunately these things were all very beneficial to himself, so Yang Feng didn't pay attention to it anymore and directly swung his sword at the approaching skull soldiers again. As more and more skull soldiers were killed, the demon sword in his hand seemed to have a tendency to evolve as well. The originally cold and shining blade emitted a red glow after absorbing the soul fire, but as it absorbed more and more soul fire, the demon sword's blade actually began to turn black, finally becoming a jet-black demon sword!
Although the color has changed, its power has become even more enormous. Yang Feng can now easily release a blade aura that is almost ten meters long, and this blade aura is actually black! Wherever the black blade aura passes, it's as if everything is being swept away like autumn leaves, turning all the skull soldiers cut by the black blade aura into ashes! As a result, the number of skull soldiers Yang Feng has eliminated is not much less than Xiao Qing's.
After completely devouring the monster made of soul fire in the sky, the six-winged golden silkworm let out a loud cry and flew towards the skull soldiers below with its wings fluttering. The speed of the six-winged golden silkworm was extremely fast, flying was just a flash of golden light, it directly drilled into the skull soldier's head, then directly absorbed the soul fire of the skull soldier before continuing to find the next target, for a time the entire battlefield was flashing with golden light, and wherever the golden light went, there would be skull soldiers falling down.
The Six-Winged Golden Silkworm didn't forget the soul fires of those skull soldiers that were swept away by Xiao Qing and dispersed into the sky while it was devouring the soul fires of these skull soldiers underground. As long as the soul fires in the sky gathered to a certain extent, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm would let out a joyful chirp before rushing into the air to devour those soul fires!
In this way, Yang Feng, Xiao Qing and Liu Chi Jin Can continued to reap the lives of these skull soldiers, causing both the number of skull cavalry and infantry to decrease drastically. They would soon be able to break through the encirclement of the Skull Army!
