Chapter 71: Twin Ghosts at the Door

Boom…

A loud noise pierced the night sky, exceptionally sharp in the silent dawn.

Before Mu Feng could step forward to open the door, the heavy wooden door was kicked into splinters. Unexpectedly, the person standing outside was not the expected Chief Transmission Disciple Mu Tie, but the one-eyed bully Mu Qingyuan! As usual, he was surrounded by a group of tall, burly guards, but different from before, behind him stood two strangely-looking old men.

One was tall and thin, black as charcoal; aside from his white teeth, everything else was black. His face was cold, as if everyone owed him hundreds of taels of silver. The other was short and fat, with skin even paler than a young lady who never went out all year, and a big belly like a pregnant woman. He had a smile on his face, a smile that made people feel uneasy.

“Mu Feng, did you sleep comfortably last night?”

Seeing Mu Feng walking out alone, Mu Qingyuan sneered coldly, “It’s daylight now, time for you to go. These are the North Flow Twin Ghosts my eldest brother Mu Tie subdued during his training at Beiliu Mountain. Each has cultivated to the Late Mortal Realm. What they love most in life is taking out their enemies’ hearts to go with their drinks. Let these two elders send you off, hahaha!”

Mu Qingyuan laughed loudly, giving a signal as he spoke, leading his guards to step back and give the North Flow Twin Ghosts some space. Looking at the unprepared, unarmed Mu Feng, he felt a rush of satisfaction, waiting to see his head fall.

Late Mortal Realm, and two of them!

This time, he didn’t believe this brat Mu Feng could escape death again!

“Young man, you are Mu Feng, right?”

The short, fat White Ghost spoke first, sighing before continuing slowly, “We, the North Flow Twin Ghosts, may not be peerless masters, but we have some reputation in the Beiliu Mountain area. Originally, there was no need for us to personally deal with a weak scholar like you. Unfortunately, our master Mu Tie is temporarily unavailable and asked us to return first to help the Second Young Master vent his anger, so we reluctantly obliged. Don’t blame us for being cruel; blame your own bad luck!”

White Ghost spoke with a smile, stepping forward, his face full of cheer. But in an instant, Mu Feng felt his soul fluctuations locked by a soft, eerie aura, and the pressure suddenly increased.

“You, Mu Feng, die!”

Unlike the smiling White Ghost, the tall, thin Black Ghost was expressionless, speaking word by word as if each syllable took great effort. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly swayed, and he fiercely charged at Mu Feng. Before getting close, he waved his black sleeve forcefully, and clusters of Ghost Fire appeared around them, accompanied by gusts of Yin Wind.

North Flow Twin Ghosts?

Mu Feng’s pupils contracted; just hearing these two old men’s names made it clear they were no good.

Seeing the cold Black Ghost charging fiercely, Mu Feng swayed his body, dodging to the side first to avoid the brunt and see how strong they were. Just as he thought he had dodged the attack, unexpectedly, a gust of forceful wind suddenly came, and White Ghost, who had been over ten steps away moments ago, appeared before him in the blink of an eye. His short, fat body curled into a ball and slammed directly into Mu Feng.

Thud…

A dull sound echoed as the fierce White Ghost struck and retreated, flipping backward to land over ten steps away. Meanwhile, Mu Feng stumbled back several steps, his body crashing into the earthen wall behind him. His blood and energy churned inside as if a mountain had slammed into him. The seemingly pale, fat, and smiling White Ghost had unimaginable strength!

Late Mortal Realm?

Mu Feng was shocked, his expression turning grave.

He never expected that even two subordinates of Chief Transmission Disciple Mu Tie could be this powerful!

The smiling White Ghost seemed friendly but showed no mercy. If not for his exceptionally strong body, that one strike would have crushed him into paste!

“Huh, you really have some skill!”

Mu Feng was greatly surprised, unaware that White Ghost, who had struck and retreated, was even more astonished.

According to what the bully Mu Qingyuan had said, Mu Feng had only recently started cultivating, a late bloomer. He had just broken through to the Early Mortal Realm not long ago and went to Chuangong Hall to level up. White Ghost thought one strike would leave Mu Feng either dead or half-alive, but he seemed completely unaffected.

Not even an Early Mortal Realm cultivator, maybe not even a Late Mortal Realm expert, could have such a robust body!

“Wraiths, kill!”

Before Mu Feng could catch his breath, Black Ghost shouted sharply and attacked again. As soon as he spoke, the surrounding clusters of Ghost Fire flared up with a “Hu” sound, transforming into wailing, lonely souls. After a mournful cry, they swarmed in from all directions. Instantly, the Yin Wind intensified as if the gates of hell had opened, releasing a group of terrifying wraiths.

The onlookers who had gathered felt a chill, their scalps tingling, and they instinctively stepped back rapidly. Even Mu Qingyuan was no exception. Though surrounded by guards, when the Yin Wind blew, it felt like the wraiths might attack them at any moment.

“Hahaha, young man, it’s your luck to die under our North Flow Twin Ghosts’ Wraith Technique!”

Seeing Black Ghost going all out, the smiling White Ghost also held back no longer. With a laugh, the eerie wraiths suddenly accelerated, surrounding Mu Feng from all sides.

The onlookers felt the chilling Yin Wind, their limbs growing cold. Mu Feng, at the forefront, was under immense pressure, suddenly plunged into danger. The penetrating Yin Wind seeped through his thin robe into his body, reaching deep into his soul. Instantly, his limbs turned cold and numb, and his Spiritual Soul wavered as if about to be torn apart by the wraiths. His consciousness blurred.

Wraith Technique!

More and more people from Mu Manor gathered to watch. To avoid complications, the North Flow Twin Ghosts simultaneously used their famous skill, coordinating their joint attack seamlessly. They aimed to shatter Mu Feng’s soul and tear him to pieces with one move.

Twin Ghosts at the Door!

Even in the remote Jianning City, the fearsome reputation of the North Flow Twin Ghosts was widely known. These two villains were notorious not just for their strength but for their brutality, ferocity, and shamelessness.

They were almost inseparable all year round. Whether facing one enemy or many, they always attacked together without hesitation. Even if they encountered an ordinary person they disliked, they would strike together without a second thought; each grabbing one half of the victim, they would tear the person apart alive. Their cruelty was horrifying.

With their Late Mortal Realm strength, either one going all out would be enough to overwhelm Mu Feng. Together, even a Mortal Realm Peak expert would hesitate to confront them. Though Mu Feng was talented, he was unarmed. How could he possibly stand against both of them?

The watching clansmen nervously widened their eyes, sweating for Mu Feng. Sensing the danger, a few outer disciples of Mu Manor turned and left, quickly heading to the Punishment Hall to report and seek help.
