C490 The Strange Woods
The longer they obtained the treasures, the more things they had seen. Sikong Ba knew that none of them wanted to die. After all, they had already cultivated to the Spirit Essence Stage, and could be considered as powerful experts. That was the reason why they were afraid of Sikong Ba, and didn't dare to make a move against him.
There were thousands of people, and all of them were Spirit Essence Stage Expert. If they attacked at the same time, how could Sikong Ba possibly be a match for them?
"Senior Sikong, you should bring me and escape as soon as possible! You alone can't suppress them for long!"
A Divine Sense entered Sikong Ba's mind. Xu Feng had done too many things to play the pig to eat the tiger. Now, this technique had no effect on them at all.
As soon as his voice faded, five to six streams of Yuan energy appeared in midair. At the same time, they rushed towards Sikong Ba. In order to obtain the reward, they couldn't care less and found a way immediately!
"Hmph!"
Sikong Ba coldly harrumphed, but he didn't attack with a backhand. Instead, he picked up Xu Feng, who was lying on the ground. He rose into the air and flew into the distance.
What surprised Xu Feng was that Sikong Ba's speed was extremely fast. He couldn't see what was happening in front of him. The cultivators who were chasing after them... They were left far behind, even within the range of Xu Feng's Divine Sense. He couldn't find any trace of them.
"This... Senior Sikong, is this the Ghost Shadow Step?"
In Sikong Ba's arms, Xu Feng couldn't help but ask curiously.
He knew that he had already mastered the Ghost Shadow Step to its peak, but it definitely wasn't as powerful as Sikong Ba's. If he had this kind of speed, he wouldn't be afraid of being hunted down by cultivators. After walking two rounds in front of them, he drifted away. It was also possible.
"Hmph, of course! After all, this is the superior movement technique of our Sikong family!"
A trace of pride flashed across Sikong Ba's eyes, and his face was filled with pride.
"Wait... Didn't you say that the Ghost Shadow Step had gone missing last time?"
Xu Feng immediately realized that something was wrong. Xu Feng had only returned the Ghost Shadow Step for less than half a month. No matter how powerful Sikong Ba was, it was impossible for him to cultivate the Ghost Shadow Step to such an extent in such a short period of time!
"This..."
Sikong Ba thought for a second and immediately said, "I am talented and intelligent, and I can comprehend it quickly. Can't I?"
"Tell me... your real purpose, is it that piece of black iron?!"
Xu Feng immediately thought of the key point of the problem. That time, apart from the Ghost Shadow Step, there was also that mysterious piece of black iron. And he was 100% sure that the black body was even more important than the Ghost Shadow Step.
"Sigh... I'm afraid of you!"
Sikong Ba was flying in the sky as he said, "That piece of black iron is the secret of our Sikong family. I can't tell you. But I can assure you that the Sikong family will always treat you as a distinguished guest. Of course, as long as you don't kill my grandson or granddaughter... I don't want to be like Gu Xinann. I don't want you to kill a son for no reason!"
"Didn't they provoke me first?"
Xu Feng rolled his eyes at Sikong Ba. He was starting to like this old man. After all, he had saved Xu Feng's life during the difficult time just now.
The two of them didn't say anything else. Sikong Ba flew for about an hour. After making sure that he had left those cultivators behind, he slowly stopped. This place was already a mountain range.
"Thank you Senior Sikong for saving us!"
After an hour, Xu Feng's injuries had recovered a lot. When he landed on the ground, he sincerely said.
"You'd better find a place to hide. I'm going to find the Sky Breaking Spell. Remember, if you have the chance in the future, you can come to the Sikong family as a guest!"
Sikong Ba didn't stop. He didn't show any intention of expressing his gratitude to Xu Feng. He leapt into the air and casted the Ghost Shadow Step. Not long after that, he disappeared from Xu Feng's sight.
"Uhh... Puff..."
After Sikong Ba left, the internal injuries in his body could no longer be suppressed. He felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood was directly spat out by him.
Without the slightest delay, he took out a Tier 4 Wood Rejuvenating Pill from the Storage Ring. Swallowing it, he slowly repaired his injured body. At the same time, a flame shot out from his hand, landing on the blood that he spat out. It directly burned the pool of blood.
After wiping away all traces, Xu Feng didn't stay any longer. He dived into the mountain range. This world was extremely vast, and it was very likely that the Sky Breaking Spell would appear anywhere. Therefore, it wasn't impossible for him to obtain the Sky Breaking Spell by chance.
Facing the unknown environment, Xu Feng didn't immediately explore this mountain range. Instead, he found an empty place and stopped there. He slowly circulated the Spiritual Force of the Wood Returning Pill and circulated it within his body, slowly healing his injuries.
He didn't directly bump into the attacks of those cultivators, but the aftermath of the countless martial arts explosions. It's enough to hurt him. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that if Sikong Ba hadn't intervened... No matter how powerful Xu Feng was, he wouldn't have any chance of surviving.
After roughly half an hour of recovery, Xu Feng could already feel the Qi of a cultivator rushing over from afar. His injuries had also recovered by seventy to eighty percent. Without further ado, he casted the Ghost Dance and walked towards the depths of the mountain range.
One of the reasons why he could recover so quickly was because his physical body was very strong. The other reason was because of the power contained within the Wood Returning Pill. It was too abundant. The Fourth Grade Medicinal Pill was a rare Medicine Pill to the Spirit Essence Stage Expert. Now that Xu Feng had consumed it without any hesitation, it was imaginable. How extravagant was Xu Feng?!
It couldn't be helped. As a Pill Alchemist, and with the Medicine King Cauldron in his hand, he was very willful. Furthermore, there was a fierce tiger behind him. If he didn't recover as soon as possible, he would die. Of course, Xu Feng wouldn't hesitate at all.
He casted the Ghost Dance and slowly moved forward, avoiding the pursuit of more and more cultivators. At the same time, he carefully observed the scene of the mountain range.
"Creak! Creak! Creak!"
After about two hours, the trees in the mountain range grew bigger and bigger. It was not an exaggeration to call it a towering tree. Around him, a seemingly non-existent voice attracted Xu Feng's attention. However, when he tried to search carefully, he found nothing.
One should know that when Xu Feng used the Ghost Dance, the Aura of Heaven and Earth was the most sensitive period. There were only two reasons why he didn't find anything. Either it was because the opponent also had a very strange movement technique, just like Senior Human Demon. It was even more profound than his current cultivation realm, and the other reason was... The other reason was that his strength was much, much stronger than Xu Feng's.
However, no matter which one it was, it wouldn't be a good result for Xu Feng.
"En? It's very likely that this is a spatial zone created by Battle Holy Monarch. If there are living creatures here... perhaps they are guarding the Sky Breaking Spell!"
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Feng couldn't help but feel delighted. If this was true, he could secretly obtain the Sky Breaking Spell and escape.
However, what disappointed him was that no matter how he tried to sense the Qi in this place, no matter how he wandered in the forest, he could only hear the sound and not the source of the sound.
"Ji Huo, can you feel the difference in this place?"
Xu Feng softly called out to the Blue Beauty Fire on his arm, but the Blue Beauty Fire ignored his call. This was because during the last fight against Gu Yantian, Xu Feng gave him three drops of green liquid. After absorbing it, he fell into a deep sleep. Until now... He still hadn't woken up.
"Looks like I can only rely on myself!"
Xu Feng sighed in his heart. He didn't continue moving forward. No matter what, he had to figure out what was going on with the squeaking sound. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in the mood to continue searching, no matter how big the world was.
He waited for three days and three nights in a row. Strange sounds kept ringing in his ears. However, Xu Feng couldn't find the source of the sound, because there were constantly cultivators walking back and forth. It was not good for him to show himself, so he could only suppress the curiosity in his heart. He continued to wait patiently.
Five days later, the practitioners who were chasing after Xu Feng gradually disappeared. After confirming that there were no practitioners in the forest, Xu Feng slowly revealed himself and began to search in the dense forest.
"Roar!"
Xu Feng's figure was revealed, and a loud beast roar was heard. Xu Feng was sure that this sound was the same as the squeaking sound he had heard in the past five days.
However, it still made Xu Feng distressed. He couldn't see the source of the sound. What made Xu Feng feel even more strange was that those cultivators who were chasing after him... When he passed by this dense forest, they didn't stop at all. It was as if they didn't hear this strange cry.
"Could it be... a ghost?"
Xu Feng was secretly shocked. After a person died, their resentment would be extremely deep, and they would transform into a ghost. After countless years of cultivation, they might even become ghost cultivators. Finally, their body would be reconstructed, and they would be no different from cultivators.
"Roar!"
Another roar was heard. Xu Feng seemed to have hit a wall, and he was bounced back. He also felt a faintly discernible Qi at the place where he had crashed into just now!
"Who are you?! Come out. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Immediately retreating a few hundred meters away, the Yuan energy in Xu Feng's hand began to roll, ready to attack at any time.
"Bang!"
Without any warning, Xu Feng was sent flying four to five hundred meters away by a powerful force. He rolled six to seven times on the ground before he was able to neutralize the powerful force.
He didn't dare to be neglectful. He rolled and immediately stood up, ready to defend himself with all his might.
It was strange! It was too strange! Xu Feng had never seen such a situation before. The Ghost Dance was an outstanding concealing technique, but the opponent's concealment technique... Even when he circulated the Aura of Heaven and Earth, he still couldn't detect the opponent's movement.
Being born in the dense forest, he wasn't familiar with the situation here. Perhaps he would be buried here if he wasn't careful. Xu Feng had no choice but to be careful. The so-called 'taking one step at a time' was his current condition.
