Volume 1 Chapter 149: Skull General

  Although the skull cavalry and infantry of Xiao Qing and others were countless, surrounding Yang Feng, but as time passed, the number of skull soldiers surrounding them had become fewer and fewer. The area where they were located was filled with the corpses of skull soldiers. Although these skull soldiers had no consciousness and only relied on their instincts to attack Yang Feng and others, under the slaughter of Yang Feng and others, these fearless skull soldiers also began to fear and retreat!

  Just as the skull soldiers were retreating, a roar that seemed to come from the nine layers of hell echoed over. With this roar, all the skull soldiers who had retreated slightly were shattered and their soul fires extinguished in an instant! The skull soldiers who were still attacking Yang Feng, Xiao Qing and others stopped their attack after hearing the roar, knelt down, and each of their bodies seemed to be trembling!

  Yang Feng saw that the skeleton soldiers who were attacking them had stopped their attack, and he didn't care what reason made them stop. He hurriedly operated his internal energy to recover his strength. The golden elixir in his body was rotating at an unbelievable speed, while the four strands of true energy emitted from the golden elixir were circulating with each breath, three Tian Gang Tian Sha Da Zhou Tian cycles, according to the Nine Yin True Classic and Nine Yang Divine Skill's Qi Qian Kun Da Nao Yi Xin Fa.

  However, the true energy consumed by the Golden Elixir can only be replenished with spiritual energy. Yang Feng is in the mortal world, where spiritual energy is extremely scarce, so since forming the Golden Elixir, it has never grown again. Now, a lot was consumed in the battle just now, so it's urgent to replenish as soon as possible. Because of the roar heard earlier, it seems that an even more formidable guy is coming over, Yang Feng needs to quickly recover his strength, otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with what comes next.

  Yang Feng suddenly discovered that he could also absorb the thick demonic energy in this underground space when he started to operate his heart method! Moreover, the demonic energy with strong killing intent in the dark and toxic air can be transformed into four kinds of true energy when it enters Yang Feng's body. This made Yang Feng extremely excited, and he didn't care where he was now, so he sat down on the ground and began to cultivate.

  When Yang Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, operating his heart method to absorb the surrounding demonic energy, a very thick demonic energy immediately gathered around his body, enveloping him entirely. A large amount of demonic energy surged into Yang Feng's body through the acupoints all over his body, and was then refined into various true energies, compressed into liquid form, and finally absorbed by the Golden Elixir.

  Those demonic auras were just like the true dragon's purple aura, and could be completely transformed into four different types of true energy. Yang Feng didn't know what was going on, but as long as he could recover his strength as soon as possible, that was all that mattered; as for other things, he couldn't care less!

  The so-called demonic energy in this underground world is actually the resentment of the soldiers who were killed in the Battle of Changping and the killing energy accumulated on the battlefield, which has been brewed for thousands of years. It does not have any attributes itself, unlike the spiritual energy nurtured by the spiritual veins, whose attribute is what the spiritual vein's attribute is.

  It's precisely because the demonic energy in this underground world has no attributes that it can be absorbed by Yang Feng and refined into the four true energies within his body, just like the True Dragon Purple Energy. If he were to absorb any other spiritual energy with attributes, although there would be no problem, when transforming them into the four true energies, it might become somewhat difficult, unlike these attribute-less demonic energies that can directly transform into the four true energies within Yang Feng's body.

  The demonic aura around Yang Feng grew thicker and more intense, and he desperately absorbed it. Yang Feng knew that he was currently facing danger, so he didn't let himself enter a state of emptiness in cultivation, but instead quickly absorbed and refined the demonic aura to replenish his depleted energy.

  The sound of thumping footsteps echoed in Yang Feng's ears, and he knew that danger was getting closer and closer. Therefore, he urgently absorbed the surrounding demonic energy even more rapidly. Since Yang Feng already knew that the acupoints on his body could be used to store spiritual energy, he controlled all the acupoints with his mind to accelerate the absorption of the surrounding demonic energy. There was no time for refinement now, so he stored it in the acupoints first and would absorb and refine it during battle!

  The thudding sound was getting closer and closer, and every time the sound rang out, the entire ground would shake slightly. Yang Feng had already replenished most of the true energy he had consumed earlier, so after absorbing all the demonic energy around his body, he opened his eyes. However, what he saw made him jump in fright!

  Yang Feng saw that it was still a skull, but this skull was extremely unusual. It was over five meters tall, with a robust body that defied all reason. The ribs on its chest were as thick as the thighs of other skulls. In its hand, it grasped a two-and-a-half-meter-long saber, emitting an icy aura and unleashing a torrent of killing intent from its body!

  Moreover, the skeletons on other skulls are that ordinary white color, while the skeleton on this skull is indeed silver-white, which is similar to Yang Feng's body skeleton after being nourished by the moon. However, it is clear that the silver color of this skull's skeleton is even deeper than Yang Feng's!

  This five-meter-tall skull also has a very large head, with a soul fire burning inside, but the problem is that the soul fires of other skulls are all dark red, while this skull's soul fire is black. The black soul fire jumped in his two eyes, looking very terrifying!

  Feeling the aura emanating from this giant skull, Yang Feng already knew he was extremely powerful. Yang Feng didn't know if he could win against him, but since this giant skull had appeared, he would face it head-on anyway. He stood up and walked to Xiao Qing's side, preparing to battle this giant skull!

  Although the giant skull was five meters high and stretched out to one hundred and fifty meters, coiled up it was several stories high, which for Xiao Qing was still considered short. However, Yang Feng clearly felt that when facing this giant skull, Xiao Qing's body began to tremble involuntarily.

  This was Xiao Qing's instinct, it was just a giant python in the juvenile stage, even if its body grew longer, it would be of no use. The aura on the giant skull made Xiao Qing feel extremely dangerous, so out of instinct, its body began to tremble. Yang Feng gently patted Xiao Qing's body, which gave Xiao Qing great encouragement and allowed its trembling body to calm down quickly.

  Just then, a faint rustling sound came into Yang Feng's ear, and when he turned his head to look, it was the Golden Silkworm Mother flying to the edge of his ear. What made Yang Feng laugh extremely hard was that the two small eyes of the Golden Silkworm Mother were staring tightly at the giant skull, and even drooling from its mouth! Was it also considering this giant skull as a delicacy?!

  Yang Feng shook his head and stopped paying attention to the Golden Silkworm Mother, focusing all his attention on the increasingly close giant skull. As the giant skull approached, the skull soldiers kneeling on the ground retreated in a hurry, clearing out a large area. Yang Feng looked at this giant skull, which should be the leader of the skull soldiers here. Perhaps if he defeated him, he could safely pass through here to find the source of the demonic energy.

  Moreover, Yang Feng also found a way to destroy the source of the demonic energy. He used his body's special acupoints to absorb all the demonic energy, as these energies were extremely toxic and cold, containing strong resentment and killing intent. However, for Yang Feng, they were invaluable spiritual energies. Absorbing the demonic energy not only prevented it from affecting the people of Huaxia but also allowed him to break through his current limitations, achieving a win-win situation that was exactly what Yang Feng desired.

  However, for now, he still needs to solve this giant skull first. During the time Yang Feng was thinking, the giant skull had already stepped in front of him. It seemed that due to its large body size, the giant skull's movement speed was not fast.

  A giant skull stood a few steps away from Yang Feng, first letting out a loud roar, and the massive sound wave surged towards Yang Feng, but such a sound wave couldn't cause any harm to Yang Feng. After the giant skull finished its roar, it suddenly raised the huge horse-killing knife in its hand, which was about 2.5 meters long, and chopped it towards Yang Feng.

  Although the giant skull's movement speed was not very fast, the huge guillotine in his hand swung at a considerable speed. The guillotine brought a whistling wind sound and chopped towards Yang Feng's head. The giant skull took action against Yang Feng as soon as it came up, seemingly completely disregarding the small green snake coiled there, which was much higher than him, as well as the Golden Silkworm Mother hanging above him with its stinger at the ready!

  Yang Feng looked at the giant skull's scimitar, which was swung towards him with a loud whooshing sound, and knew that such a large skull must also possess immense strength. Therefore, he did not plan to engage in a head-on collision, but instead chose to dodge. If Yang Feng were to exert his full speed, he could already create nine illusory clones using Spiral Nine Shadows, but against the slow-moving giant skull, such speed was unnecessary. So, Yang Feng simply flashed to the side and dodged the giant skull's attack!

  However, after this slash, the giant skull immediately turned its halberd sideways and slashed horizontally in the direction Yang Feng had dodged to. Yang Feng did not expect the giant skull's reaction to be so fast, and as soon as he dodged over, the halberd followed. Looking at the halberd that was like a shadow following him, Yang Feng raised his demon sword high and then slashed down just like the giant skull's halberd had done.

  Yang Feng's demon blade and the giant skull's executioner's sword clashed together, emitting a sharp "ka" sound, as a massive spark burst out. At this moment, the giant skull was still standing there, but Yang Feng felt an overwhelming force transmitted from the demon blade to his arm, then from his arm to his body, and suddenly he flew out like a cannonball!

  The giant skull took only a second or two to strike Yang Feng and send him flying, leaving Xiao Qing and Jin Can Quan Mu still reeling from the sudden attack. By the time they reacted, both of them let out a furious roar and charged at the giant skull!
