Chapter 88: Entering the Mountains
“Yin Wind!”
“Chaotic Flow!”
The Black-white Twin Ghosts shouted angrily together. Balls of eerie ghost fire suddenly appeared in the air. They moved without wind, floating swiftly toward the Eighteen Evil Ghosts. If even a thread touched them, their bodies immediately burst into roaring flames. Following that, after a piercing shriek, more ghost fires appeared in the air, transforming into sinister wraiths. They turned and surrounded the Eighteen Evil Ghosts summoned by the Blood Shaman’s order.
Wraith Technique!
In this critical situation, the North Flow Twin Ghosts held nothing back. They joined forces to use their famous ultimate skill, aiming to crush the Yinfeng Formation in one strike.
“Boundless Yin Wind, suppress them!”
Mu Feng quickly changed the formation, making the hand seal for the ‘suppress’ technique. Instantly, the pressure inside the Yinfeng Formation became as heavy as a mountain. Whether it was the eerie ghost fires or the dense group of wraiths, their movements became slow and heavy. The Eighteen Evil Ghosts charged forward, scattering and crushing them all. Although their bodies were burning fiercely, each evil ghost seemed completely unaffected. On the contrary, they looked even more ferocious and hideous.
Exchanging a glance, the Black-white Twin Ghosts both felt a chill. They silently recited a few incantations, and their bodies suddenly vanished. At the same time, the air grew thick with sinister ghostly energy. More ghost fires appeared, floating past the Eighteen Evil Ghosts directly toward Mu Feng.
Not good!
As soon as the North Flow Twin Ghosts disappeared, Mu Feng’s heart sank. He instinctively grabbed Mu Qingyuan and stumbled back several steps. The moment they left their original spot, two strange ghost fires suddenly exploded, revealing the figures of the North Flow Twin Ghosts. One on each side, they tried to grab Mu Feng’s hands and feet suddenly, just like last time, with a weird attack. Unfortunately, their scheme failed this time.
Before they could attack again, a harsh Yin Wind suddenly rose all around them. The eighteen flags flapped loudly. In the next moment, the Eighteen Evil Ghosts leaped high into the air with Hu, Hu, Hu sounds, tightly surrounding the two of them.
“Shuang’er, Chu San, are you alright?”
Mu Feng dared not prolong the fight. He commanded the Eighteen Evil Ghosts to entangle the two Devil Leaders, the North Flow Twin Ghosts. Then he quickly cut the ropes binding Jing Wushuang and Chu San. Once freed, Jing Wushuang swiftly picked up a long sword to defend herself. Chu San, who had lost both arms, still stared blankly, muttering to himself while looking at his mother’s corpse.
Looking at the motionless Sky Splitting Tiger on Mu Feng’s back, Jing Wushuang said anxiously, “Brother Mu Feng, I’m fine. What happened to big brother?”
“He just lost too much blood. He’ll recover after some rest. Shuang’er, you carry Chu San. Let’s go!”
Glancing back at the two Devil Leaders who were gradually gaining the upper hand and had already killed several evil ghosts, Mu Feng’s expression turned grim. He told Jing Wushuang to carry Chu San and rush out quickly into the dense forest. He himself carried Sky Splitting Tiger on his back and dragged the hostage Mu Qingyuan, covering their retreat.
These two old Devil Leaders, the North Flow Twin Ghosts, were both top experts at the Late Mortal Realm. They could break through to the Mortal Realm Peak at any time and were very powerful. If Mu Feng were alone, he wouldn’t be afraid; even if they were strong, they might not be a match for him. But carrying the unconscious Sky Splitting Tiger, plus having to protect Jing Wushuang and Chu San, he dared not drag out the battle. He decisively chose to break out.
Just these two old Devil Leaders were already so hard to deal with. If the enemy’s main force arrived, it would be even more troublesome. They had to leave decisively, the sooner the better!
“Save me, North Flow Twin Elders, save me!”
Mu Qingyuan let out a desperate, piercing scream. His voice echoed through the valley for a long time, sounding especially mournful and haunting.
Mu Feng’s furious kick had not only destroyed his manhood but also made him pass out from the pain. When he woke up, he happened to see the North Flow Twin Ghosts being held back. He saw himself being taken by Mu Feng out of the Green Mountain Villa and dragged into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
This Mu Feng kid was really ruthless!
Looking at his bloody pants, Mu Qingyuan gave up completely. He abandoned any thought of begging Mu Feng for mercy and pinned his only hope on the North Flow Twin Ghosts.
Given Mu Feng’s ruthlessness and decisiveness, being dragged into the Hundred Thousand Mountains by him, was there any chance of survival?
Along with his hatred, Mu Qingyuan’s heart was filled with fear. At this moment, he finally, truly smelled the scent of death. His body was dragged along rapidly by Mu Feng, sometimes hitting protruding tree roots or rocks. He was covered in blood. But now, he couldn’t feel the pain anymore. His eyes stared fixedly at the increasingly distant North Flow Twin Ghosts as he screamed for help with all his might.
“Kill!”
Seeing Mu Feng and the others about to disappear into the vast Forest Sea, the North Flow Twin Ghosts were both alarmed and furious. They attacked wildly, regardless of the cost, against the many evil ghosts that were clinging stubbornly to them. After joining forces to destroy the last evil ghost, the surrounding eighteen flags then whooshed, whooshed, whooshed up into the sky. They quickly shrank to the size of a palm, turned into streaks of red light, and disappeared, vanishing far into Mu Feng’s body.
By this time, Mu Feng and the others had already crossed over a large mountain and quickly disappeared into the dense Forest Sea. Heavy footsteps sounded as the many guards who had been out searching for Mu Feng’s whereabouts finally arrived, panting heavily. They had gritted their teeth and run desperately, but in the end, they were still a step too late.
“After them! They are quite injured, they can’t have gone far!”
The North Flow Twin Ghosts gave the order and led the many guards in hot pursuit.
If it were only Mu Feng alone, they might have to just sigh in frustration at the mountains. But with the unconscious Sky Splitting Tiger, the delicate Jing Wushuang, and the severely injured Chu San, it was different. No matter how powerful Mu Feng was, he was only one person. In a short time, he couldn’t have taken this many people very far!
As expected, after crossing just two mountains, they gradually caught up with Mu Feng’s group.
Jing Wushuang herself was a weak woman. Although she had broken through to the Early Mortal Realm long ago, she usually focused her energy on healing and refining medicine, and hadn’t really cultivated much. The mountain path was rugged, and in some places, there was no path at all. She couldn’t walk fast even by herself; carrying another person made her even slower. Looking back at the closing pursuers, in her nervousness, her foot slipped. She nearly fell, along with Chu San on her back, into the thousand-foot high cliff beside them. Luckily, Mu Feng was quick-eyed and swift-handed, supporting her at the critical moment.
No good!
Continuing like this was definitely not a solution!
Mu Feng suddenly stopped and turned around, coldly watching the approaching pursuers.
“Chase them, hurry!”
“Spread out, surround them, rescue the Second Young Master, quickly!”
…
The voices of the pursuers grew loud and chaotic as they got closer. The powerful Black Ghost took the lead, bringing balls of eerie ghost fire with him. As the distance closed, his dry, withered hand rose, about to shoot out balls of ghost fire. Unexpectedly, a gust of strong wind suddenly rushed toward his face. Looking up, he saw a blood-red spear whistling toward him. It appeared before his eyes in an instant, carrying a wave of scorching heat.
Whoosh…
Startled, Black Ghost had no time to attack. He hurriedly dodged sideways. The ferocious spear grazed past his scalp. Although his body wasn’t pierced, the moment the spear brushed by him, the blood and energy inside his body churned. Blood rushed to his head; he felt chest tightness, suffocation, and extreme discomfort!
Blood Spear!
Mu Feng had been gathering his energy, waiting. When Black Ghost recklessly pursued closer, Mu Feng suddenly threw a fierce Blood Spear with all his strength.
Formidable!
Black Ghost, who had rarely met his match in Beiliu Mountain, turned pale. He couldn’t help but stop and dodge behind a large tree. Looking up, he saw that Mu Feng, who had been standing on the ridge, was now gone. He turned to look at the slow-moving guards behind him, gritted his teeth, and continued the chase forward, a cruel and fierce grin on his face.
