Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

Chapter 99 Entanglement

"Senior Xuan Gu, if you linger here, be careful that Ancestor Ji Yin may come looking for you."

"If you are caught by the Yin Ancestor, you will wish you were dead."

Zhang Feng flicked his flying sword, which was tainted with demonic energy, with a slight look of disdain.

Upon hearing this, Jin Qing and the others looked at Zhang Feng with slight fear and whispered among themselves.

"Brother Zhang, don't provoke him! I still want to live!"

"Brother Zhang, hold on. He can't take us down right now, he'll leave on his own."

"Brother Zhang, the Seven-Colored Lotus is fake. We'd better not provoke this demon, or we won't be able to escape unscathed!"

Zhang Feng picked at his ear. What everyone said made sense, but he was even more certain that Xuan Gu dared not confront him.

If he were confident he could take them all down, he would have become arrogant and overbearing long ago.

"Kid, you—"

The green shadowy figure pointed directly at Zhang Feng, its finger bones trembling slightly, extremely angry.

"Very well, it seems you won't know the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator until I teach you a lesson today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a tremendous force violently tore open several gaps in the sky above the hall.

A chilling demonic aura surged continuously within the opening.

Divine consciousness takes form!

An overwhelming pressure descended upon everyone, and they felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Feng summoned the Langshui Xuanyu Sword in his palm, gripped the hilt, and unleashed a torrent of spiritual energy from his body.

Strands of black soul power continuously surged from his body and adhered to the sword.

It can't even drag my mind into a spiritual illusion, so who are you trying to scare by showing your physical form?

Zhang Feng snorted coldly, raised his hand and slashed out with his sword. A sword beam several meters wide, completely enveloped in black soul power, slashed straight towards the crack in the sky.

He had already experienced the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator's divine sense.

"Huh!"

Upon seeing the black sword light several meters wide, Xuan Gu was slightly startled and fell into deep thought, the red light in his eyes dimming slightly.

Wow!

The opening in the sky vanished instantly, and the sword beam struck the rock at the top, leaving a deep pit tens of feet long.

The severed stone pillars collapsed and fell, and crushed stones rained down.

The hall was instantly turned into a mess.

"Senior Xuan Gu, why are you still afraid of a mere attack from a Core Formation cultivator like me?"

Zhang Feng immediately sensed that Xuan Gu had withdrawn his divine sense and transformed into human form, but the sword light he had unleashed could not be withdrawn.

"Haha, you're pretty good, kid."

"Your spiritual cultivation and body tempering are both quite good!"

"However, I am a little curious as to why you, who cultivate the Yin Soul Technique, have not fallen into the ghost realm, but are still alive and kicking."

Xuan Gu laughed wildly, completely ignoring Zhang Feng's sarcasm, and instead asked Zhang Feng about the reason for refining his soul.

"Senior Xuan Gu, everyone has their own destiny. Just like how you were able to withstand the limitations of lifespan and pass away, you were able to refine this ghostly body of a Yin soul."

""

"Young man, why can't you cultivate the Yin Soul Technique?"

Zhang Feng countered with a question.

There's nothing he can do. With the experience panel, he can start practicing as soon as he gets started. If he has any questions, he should ask God.

"Good, good, you're quite capable, just my type."

"6

"You've passed. State your name!"

Xuan Gu clapped his bone palms loudly, shouting "Bravo!"

"Star Palace, Venus Departs!"

Zhang Feng shamelessly announced Jin Li's name.

After Jin Li gave him several spiritual items that could replenish his essence and blood, Zhang Feng felt that this person was worth befriending.

Zhang Feng volunteered to use Jin Li's name when he was out in the world, in order to accumulate merit and reputation for him to rise in rank.

Jin Li readily agreed and even revealed a little inside information: in fact, all the credit for the task assigned by Jin Kui would ultimately go to Jin Li.

As soon as Zhang Feng spoke, everyone turned to look at him.

A strange light flashed in Jin Qing's eyes. No wonder his cousin had accumulated enough merits for advancement so quickly; it turned out that Zhang Feng was supporting and helping him from the outside.

Hu Yue and the others were shocked that Zhang Feng dared to impersonate a Star Palace cultivator.

However, the group was quick-witted and cooperated with Zhang Feng in a timely manner, without giving themselves away.

"People from the Star Palace?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Xuan Gu's eyes.

"Alright, the Star Palace is still in charge in the Chaotic Star Sea!"

"Since you know my identity, you should know that my traitorous disciple sensed the breaking of the sealing formation and will arrive soon."

"If you don't want to die, kill one of them and hand him over to me."

"I'll spare the others, how about that?"

Xuan Gu stood before the enormous skeleton puppet, exuding a chilling aura of killing intent.

"dream!"

"Senior Xuan Gu, are you still trying to divide us? You'd better refrain from making threats!"

"If we drag this out until the Patriarch of Extreme Yin arrives, I wonder if his target is us, or you?"

Zhang Feng's tone was fierce, and he became more and more certain. Xuan Gu dared not make a move against the crowd, nor did he dare to delay any longer.

So what should he do?

"Hmph! Junior, do you really think I dare not make a move!"

"I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

When his proposal was rejected, a flash of anger appeared in Xuan Gu's eyes, and several dark blue-green spiritual energy chains emerged from his body.

Two bluish-gray flames clung to the enormous, pale white ghost claw behind it.

"go!"

Xuan Gu let out a soft cry.

A dense, ghostly mist surged forth, obscuring divine senses.

Dozens of spiritual energy chains took the opportunity to entangle the group.

Bone claws, imbued with chilling ghostly flames, followed closely behind.

Let's protect ourselves together!

Zhang Feng transmitted his voice.

The group worked together to erect a blue-red protective shield.

Shi Die quickly threw out three array flags, setting up a small protective array.

Boom!

A devastating explosion rang out.

The cyan-red spiritual energy shield remained completely still.

Zhang Feng became suspicious. Although Xuan Gu's attack looked imposing, it actually had no killing power whatsoever.

Something is not right.

Zhang Feng's gaze swept over a black figure beside him.

I happened to see "Qu Hun's" slightly mocking eyes.

Zhang Feng's three flying swords flew out instantly, surrounding him for protection.

He was constantly monitoring his own soul power, wanting to stop Xuan Gu from possessing Qu Hun in advance.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Gu was able to control Qu Hun through several layers of shields and formations.

"Fellow Daoist Han, watch out for your clone!"

Zhang Feng offered a reminder.

Han Li's expression shifted, and he realized the strange movement of Qu Hun.

"Soul of the Melody, return!"

Han Li formed hand seals and tried his best to exert control.

A slight smile appeared on Qu Hun's lips.

"Fellow Daoist Han, quickly, destroy this clone!"

Zhang Feng said.

Knowing that the Xuan Bone could control the Sha Dan clones, he sealed all four Sha Dan clones he had refined in the jade coffin and placed them in his storage bag.

As Qu Hun was Han Li's external avatar, Zhang Feng couldn't find a reason to remind him.

Han Li looked at Qu Hun as he walked away into the distance, the spiritual seal in his hand flickering uncertainly.

Zhang Feng could see that he was hesitant. As a childhood friend, and someone who had been with him for almost a hundred years, it was perfectly normal for him to hesitate.

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Zhang, Qu Hun has a special connection with me, and I find it difficult to do this."

Han Li gritted his teeth and transmitted his voice.

A slight smile appeared on Zhang Feng's lips. Very good, it's good that there are feelings involved, otherwise Zhang Feng really wouldn't dare to continue to cooperate with him.

"No problem, he's even easier to deal with now that he's taken over a physical body!"

Zhang Feng transmitted his voice.

Once the Xuan Gu transforms into a Yin spirit and hides within the island, it becomes extremely difficult for Zhang Feng to detect it.

If Xuan Gu had a physical form, he would have many more ways to deal with it.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, there is no need to worry. I, Han, have my own supernatural abilities to restrain this person. If things change, I, Han, will not abandon you and flee on my own."

Realizing he might cause a major disaster, Han Li, for the first time ever, stood at the forefront.

This is quite rare; Zhang Feng was rather impressed with Han Li.

"Hahaha, Blood Refining Divine Light! Demon Core Avatar!"

"I noticed you the moment you entered, and this is exactly what I've been waiting for!"

"It's a pity, if it weren't for Jin Li's caution..."

"You have all been turned into my paint."

"However, don't be arrogant. Once I've completed the possession and adapted to the body, I will settle accounts with you one by one!"

Having achieved his goal, Xuan Gu laughed wildly.
