Chapter 83: The Eighteen Evil Ghosts

It was clear and translucent, shimmering with red light, filled with the essence of blood and the energy of Yang…

Mu Feng glanced at the Blood Pearl in his hand, suppressed his inner excitement, and swallowed it in one gulp. Instantly, a surge of pure power emerged within his body, nourishing his dried-up meridians. With a whoosh, the eighteen flags around him grew with the wind, their power intensifying!

The essence blood and Yang Energy of one starving wolf could not fully restore his strength quickly, but at a critical moment, every bit of power was extremely crucial.

Howl…

Smelling the scent of blood, the hungry wolf pack indeed became restless. One by one, the starving wolves howled at the moon and, as if by agreement, closed in a few steps. Their breaths were heavy, huffing and puffing, their eyes gleaming with ferocity, as if they were about to swarm forward at any moment. Following the lead wolf’s command, two starving wolves charged out.

This time, these two starving wolves did not rush to attack immediately. Instead, they circled around Mu Feng, carefully observing him and the eighteen flags beside him. Wolves were vicious and cunning, and after the fate of the first starving wolf, these two were much more cautious.

“Come on, come at me together!”

Looking at the two ferocious starving wolves, Mu Feng gave a cold smile and slowly raised his Overlord Spear. At this moment, he was in no hurry to break through.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains under the cover of night were the domain of fierce beasts and extremely dangerous. Rather than carrying the Sky Splitting Tiger and desperately trying to break out, traveling in constant fear, it was better to conserve energy here, plunder the blood power and Yang Energy of these starving wolves, and quickly return to Jing Family Village after recovering his strength.

A workman must first sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well!

It would take some time to kill this pack of starving wolves, but as long as he recovered his strength, he could make it back in a much shorter time.

Howl…

After extending their front paws into the Yinfeng Formation and feeling nothing unusual while moving around for a while, the two starving wolves lost their patience. One after the other, they suddenly pounced on Mu Feng. They ran faster and faster, and finally, their bodies leaped high, their agile forms directly clearing the flags. One aimed for Mu Feng’s neck with its bite, while the other clawed at the back of his head, attacking from both sides.

Without any sudden pressure, the two starving wolves moved as fast as meteors, instantly closing in on Mu Feng. However, just as they opened their jaws and extended their sharp claws, ready to kill Mu Feng, a cold gleam suddenly appeared before their eyes. Almost at the same time, pain shot through their foreheads, and their agile bodies heavily crashed to the ground.

Emperor’s Thrust!

This time, Mu Feng did not use the Yinfeng Formation. Holding the sharp Overlord Spear, he struck out with full force, thrusting twice in an instant. Without exception, both strikes accurately hit the foreheads of the two starving wolves. The ferocity of his attack somewhat resembled the Sky Splitting Tiger’s execution of the Emperor’s Thrust!

Ha…

With a fierce shout from Mu Feng, two Blood Pearls appeared in his hand. He swallowed them both at once, and his spirits lifted. The blood inside his body began to flow faster, gurgling as it flushed away the Yin Energy that had invaded him. The layer of bluish-gray Ancestral Sorcerer’s Essence Blood also gradually renewed, and powerful strength slowly returned to his body.

After losing three starving wolves in a row, the lead wolf, who had been watching from the side, could no longer hold back. It abruptly stood up. With a long howl, the wolf pack began to press toward Mu Feng. One by one, they bared their ferocious fangs, gradually shrinking the encirclement. When they closed in to about twenty paces, more than a dozen particularly robust starving wolves swarmed forward, leading the attack.

“Well timed!”

Mu Feng raised his head and straightened his chest. Facing the dozen or so ferociously charging starving wolves, his expression remained unchanged. The moment they rushed in, he suddenly changed the formation.

In an instant, the eighteen flags swelled uniformly. A Yin Wind rose sharply, carrying sounds like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. The next moment, eighteen eerie skeletons appeared on the flags. However, just as Mu Feng thought they were about to jump out from the flags, something unexpected happened.

The eighteen flags shook uniformly, and the figures of the eighteen skeletons quickly vanished, replaced by eighteen even more sinister and cruel evil ghosts.

Their crimson eyes, sharp fangs, and those several-inch-long, ghostly nails were all horrifying. After raising their heads and roaring in unison, they leaped out from the flags, stirring up a fierce Yin Wind. In their first encounter, their sharp claws simultaneously pierced into the heads of the dozen or so starving wolves. Whether in speed, strength, or attacking power, they were far superior to the original eighteen skeletons!

The Eighteen Evil Ghosts?

Overjoyed, Mu Feng quickly understood what was happening. He vigorously stirred the Ancestral Sorcerer’s Essence Blood within him and formed a mysterious hand seal. Immediately, the eighteen flags emitted waves of Yin Wind, enveloping an area of a hundred meters around, aiming to eliminate the entire wolf pack.

According to Ghost Mother’s explanation, the Eighteen Blood Witch Commands were originally the treasure of the Yinfeng Sect. The stronger the user’s own power, the greater the effect. Now, suddenly summoning eighteen even more powerful evil ghosts was clearly the result of greatly enhanced strength after plundering the Millennium Tree Demon’s thousand years of cultivation. Although it was a bit disappointing that he had not reached the Late Mortal Realm in one go, with the fierce Eighteen Evil Ghosts assisting him, it was undoubtedly adding wings to a tiger.

Those below the Late Mortal Realm would surely be killed!

Mu Feng’s fighting spirit surged. With the help of the Eighteen Evil Ghosts, even if he encountered those two Devil Leaders, the North Flow Twin Ghosts, head-on again, he would have the power to fight. Stretching out his hand, the dozen or so fallen starving wolves let out mournful cries. The blood and Yang Energy within them transformed into Blood Pearls that whistled through the air, landing together in his hand. At the same time, without any command, the Eighteen Evil Ghosts charged at the wolf pack, initiating a fierce attack.

Their thin nails were their sharpest weapons. With a forward thrust, they unmistakably pierced into the starving wolves’ bodies. With a light slash, they cut their throats. In the blink of an eye, the ground was littered with corpses. One by one, the previously ferocious starving wolves fell to the ground, while the Eighteen Evil Ghosts grew even more courageous in their killing.

The starving wolves were cruel and cunning, but in the face of even crueler evil ghosts, they were no match at all!

Soon, the essence blood and Yang Energy within them all transformed into Blood Pearls, landing in Mu Feng’s hand. After swallowing them on the spot, his strength quickly recovered, and he had the overall situation under control. With a thought, the surging essence blood within him seeped out, transforming into menacing Blood Vines. The vigor of his energy and blood, and the intensity of his killing intent, surpassed even that of the Millennium Tree Demon!

Howl…

Glancing at Mu Feng, whose killing intent had greatly intensified, the lead wolf in the distance felt like retreating. After a long howl, it turned and fled at top speed, desperate to get away from Mu Feng, this god of slaughter. Behind it, the remaining dozen or so starving wolves frantically followed, hastily withdrawing from the battlefield.

However, just as they rushed out of the Yinfeng Formation’s area, thinking they had escaped disaster, hundreds of blood-red Blood Vines silently appeared in the air, deeply piercing into their bodies. The lead wolf at the front was even wrapped up in coils, unable to move.

Death Entanglement!

With his strength rapidly restored, Mu Feng had long been prepared. At the critical moment, he executed the Millennium Tree Demon’s innate divine ability, sparing none!
