Chapter 25: Restless Night
"Whew, whew, whew..."
Lin Feng knelt on the ground, having consecutively slain two warriors of the Martial General Realm; he had used all his techniques. For him, this was an intense drain—Lin Feng felt as if all the strength had been sapped from his body, leaving him weak and drained.
This was Lin Feng's first true confrontation with a warrior of the Martial General Realm, head-to-head!
Moreover, it was a series of fierce battles with two warriors of the Martial General Realm, one after the other. The immense exhaustion was unimaginable.
Lin Feng felt very tired!
Not just physically weak, but also mentally drained to the extreme.
After resting for a while, Lin Feng finally felt as though he had regained some strength.
At that moment, Jii Yuhuan and Dantai Xuan both looked towards Lin Feng with astonishment.
Not only because Lin Feng, a cultivator at the Martial Master Realm, had cut down two powerful warriors of the Martial General Realm.
But also because Lin Feng was a Spirit Array Master.
Judging from the way Lin Feng had just executed the Spirit Array Skill, his prowess concerning Spirit Arrays should be considered quite profound.
This was what truly baffled them; becoming a cultivator of Spirit Arrays was extremely difficult. To see someone so young adeptly deploy a Spirit Array Skill during a battle of Life and Death? Such ability wasn't something the average person possessed. Given time, Lin Feng might become a Spirit Array Master who would stir the Three Thousand States.
"Hide yourselves, I'm going to dispose of these two bodies outside—they can't be left here."
Lin Feng said as he stood up, picked up the corpses of the blue-clothed and white-clothed cultivators, then quickly darted off into the distance. He returned after 15 minutes, then moved a giant boulder to block the entrance to the mountain ravine, and concealed himself within it.
The ravine was narrow, barely able to accommodate three people.
Jii Yuhuan hid at the deepest part, while the beautiful woman concealed herself in the middle, and Lin Feng took the outermost spot.
Due to the cramped space, both Lin Feng and the beautiful woman felt slightly embarrassed, but given the unusual circumstances, they pretended as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
After nightfall, beastly roars echoed through the skies.
Terrifying Fierce Beasts appeared atop the peaks, bellowing up to the heavens. The Eternal Demon Mountain stretched endlessly, and now, from countless directions within the Eternal Demon Mountain, resounded the echoing calls of the Fierce Beasts.
This phenomena had not occurred before; nighttime was usually when the Army of the Dead Spirit was active. The beastly roars that shook Heaven and Earth were indeed peculiar.
The beautiful woman suggested, "Could it be that these Fierce Beasts are planning to wage war against the Army of the Dead Spirit?"
"It's said that the Army of the Dead Spirit appeared suddenly in a certain era; they originally did not belong to the Eternal Demon Mountain. Their emergence naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Fierce Beasts of the mountain. Moreover, these Dead Spirits harvest lives like the Death God, having slain many Fierce Beasts. This has further fueled the animosity of the Eternal Demon Mountain's Fierce Beasts towards the Army of the Dead Spirit," Lin Feng explained.
Late into the night, when the Army of the Dead Spirit appeared, a ground-shaking, monumental war erupted.
The Army of the Dead Spirit and the Fierce Beast Army engaged in a deadly struggle, almost tearing Heaven and Earth apart.
It was a restless night; the surviving cultivators all hid, not daring to venture out in the dead of night.
The battle between the undead and the beasts was evidently fierce, the conflict raging throughout the entire night.
Only as daylight gradually returned did the roars of the Fierce Beasts and the howls of the Army of the Dead Spirit start to fade away.
Finally, the Army of the Dead Spirit departed.
The Fierce Beasts also lay dormant, needing to recuperate and recover after the terrifying battle of the previous night.
