342: Hard fight

Mu Feng felt a pang of discomfort seeing that the System’s feedback didn’t include any skill information.

This kind of situation had occasionally happened before.

Mu Feng didn’t understand what specifically caused it.

However, now wasn’t the time to delve into that, because as he was investigating the Silver-Winged Yaksha’s information, the creature also discovered the two intruders.

It immediately let go of the foul-smelling, tough Puppet Lizard.

Its legs pushed off forcefully.

With a gentle flap of the silver wings on its back,

it appeared before the two of them.

Han Yuyan’s face drastically changed as she saw the Silver-Winged Yaksha charging.

The power gap between them was too great; she hadn’t even fully reacted when the green-haired monster was already in front of her.

However, just as she thought she was about to meet her end here, an icy iron fist suddenly slammed into the attacking green-haired monster.

Boom!

When the two collided, a huge sound instantly erupted from the point of impact.

This Silver-Winged Yaksha was indeed as the System’s information said, possessing astonishing strength.

Mu Feng felt like the web between his thumb and forefinger was about to split open.

One must know that his Physical Body had undergone multiple enhancements, and its toughness was already comparable to a Medium Grade Magic Treasure.

Yet, with just a normal clash, he felt as if his knuckles were about to crack.

Mu Feng shook his slightly numb fist.

Then he turned to Han Yuyan beside him and said, “This Yao Beast’s strength and speed are astonishing. You should retreat to the side and help me set up a formation, looking for opportunities to ambush and harass it.”

Han Yuyan was currently only at the Dan Formation Stage Initial Phase.

Although she also had some hidden trump cards, they were somewhat insufficient against a Silver-Winged Yaksha that was nearing the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Therefore, Mu Feng also told her to retreat to the side, so he wouldn’t have to be distracted helping her.

At the same time, he also wanted her to look for opportunities, perhaps to provide some crowd control, which would be much better than just standing there.

“Alright!”

Han Yuyan nodded.

She also knew there was a gap between her strength and the Silver-Winged Yaksha’s.

She then followed Mu Feng’s instructions, retreating to a corner to look for an opportunity.

She possessed an Ice-elemental Spiritual Root and had several powerful control Divine Abilities.

“Roar!”

While the two were talking, the Silver-Winged Yaksha attacked again.

It had already developed sentience.

It knew Han Yuyan was an easy target.

Naturally, it was unwilling to let her leave.

After a flap of its wings, it reappeared in front of Han Yuyan.

It wanted to use Han Yuyan to restrain Mu Feng.

Boom!

Just as it was about to succeed, a silver shadow suddenly burst forth, knocking its figure back again.

This time, it wasn’t Mu Feng who attacked.

It was the Puppet Lizard that had been entangled with the Silver-Winged Yaksha earlier.

At this moment, it had already activated Super Berserk Art.

Silver light radiated from its body.

Silver runes flowed wildly within its body, forming various irregular patterns.

After absorbing the Unicorn Rhino’s horn last time, the silver runes on the Little Lizard’s body began to change.

However, because Mu Feng had been constantly on the move and fleeing yesterday, he hadn’t had time to investigate.

Seeing the Little Lizard’s changes now, he was also momentarily stunned.

It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to investigate the Little Lizard’s changes.

Of course, definitely not now.

Because the Silver-Winged Yaksha’s assault came again.

Seeing the Little Lizard’s transformation, the Silver-Winged Yaksha’s eyes flashed.

Then, a large flash of gray light shot out.

“Puff, puff, puff!”

The gray light was very fast, like a series of cannonballs, surging towards the two of them.

Feeling the terrifying energy within the gray light,

Mu Feng dared not take it head-on.

The Blood Magic Robe was quickly activated, and he rapidly dodged.

Compared to Mu Feng’s side,

the Little Lizard’s response was much simpler.

It put both palms forward, and all the attacking gray light was caught in its hands.

Its defense was already comparable to a Spirit Treasure, so it naturally wasn’t afraid of these gray light attacks.

It even managed to spare some effort to block some of the gray light heading towards Han Yuyan,

greatly reducing the pressure on Han Yuyan behind it.

Although she was only at the Dan Formation Stage Initial Phase, Han Yuyan’s methods still seemed quite effective.

When some gray light that the Little Lizard couldn’t catch came towards her, she would use an ice-sealing Divine Ability to freeze her body,

causing all the gray light heading for her to miss.

The Silver-Winged Yaksha didn’t expect its released killing move to have no effect at all; some dodged, some took it head-on.

Those that couldn’t be dodged or taken head-on were evaded with Divine Ability.

This forced it to retract the gray light skill.

“Go!”

Taking advantage of the opponent not yet launching its next round of attacks, Mu Feng flung his palm, and a large number of Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords swarmed out,

encircling the Silver-Winged Yaksha.

Facing the attacking Flying Swords, the Silver-Winged Yaksha sneered, opened its mouth, and a large amount of gray sound waves emanated from its mouth.

As soon as the sound waves came out,

the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords, which were originally flying at extreme speed, seemed to be fixed by something, falling from the sky one after another.

Seeing this, Mu Feng quickly used his Divine Sense to control the falling Lifebound Treasure.

However, for some unknown reason, the Lifebound Treasure Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword, which he had always kept within his body for nurturing, had lost contact with him.

No matter how Mu Feng summoned them, the fallen Lifebound Treasure could no longer be recalled by him.

This made Mu Feng’s expression somewhat grim.

Fortunately, he had recalled some Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords when he saw the situation was unfavorable, otherwise, the number of fallen Magic Treasure would have doubled.

Because he couldn’t check the opponent’s skill effects earlier,

Mu Feng currently didn’t know why his Lifebound Treasure had lost control.

Mu Feng guessed it might be related to the sound waves the opponent released from its mouth earlier.

However, now was not the time to delve into it.

Having succeeded with one strike, the opponent opened its mouth again, attempting to spray at Mu Feng’s remaining Lifebound Treasure again.

This made Mu Feng inwardly think, “Not good.”

Just as he was about to recall all the remaining Lifebound Treasure, the Silver-Winged Yaksha merely feinted.

It seemed to want to open its mouth and continue spraying sound waves, but in reality, it wanted to force back Mu Feng’s Magic Treasure and then launch a close-range sneak attack.

Mu Feng didn’t expect the opponent’s sentience to be so high.

It even knew how to use tactics.

It was already too late to dodge.

However, just as Mu Feng thought he was about to take a hit, a sturdy ice frost cage suddenly appeared around the Silver-Winged Yaksha, freezing it tightly within!

It was Han Yuyan, who had been observing from the side, who, upon realizing Mu Feng had fallen for the trick, used her Divine Ability secret art to help.

Crack!

The power gap between the two sides was too great; the ice frost cage was broken by the Silver-Winged Yaksha in less than half a second.

However, this was already enough for Mu Feng.

Using this freezing time, Mu Feng activated the Blood Magic Robe to avoid the opponent’s close-range attack.

At the same time, he swept forward.

He collected all the fallen Lifebound Treasure Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords into his Storage Ring.

Although he didn’t understand why his Lifebound Treasure suddenly became uncontrollable,

Mu Feng didn’t want to leave them lying on the ground.

Lifebound Treasure were intimately connected with one’s Divine Sense.

If they were accidentally destroyed by the opponent, it would have a significant impact on him.

After collecting the fallen Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords,

Mu Feng immediately ordered the Little Lizard to go forward and entangle the Silver-Winged Yaksha, giving him time for Jiao Transformation.

In his normal state, Mu Feng’s physical defense, strength, and speed were all significantly inferior to the opponent.

Only through Jiao Transformation could he possibly keep up with the opponent.

Otherwise, he could only passively take hits.

“Swish!”

The Little Lizard and Mu Feng were connected by mind.

After understanding Mu Feng’s thoughts, it immediately entangled the Silver-Winged Yaksha in front of it.

While the Silver-Winged Yaksha and Mu Feng were fighting earlier, the irregular patterns on the Little Lizard’s body had already been completed.

This was a red Fire Jiao pattern.

However, the Jiao Dragon’s claws were not four, but five.

After the Fire Jiao pattern formed,

it moved around the Little Lizard’s body.

The original silver flowing light, under the rendering of the Fire Jiao, turned into a dazzling silver-red color, making it extremely striking in the dim underground palace.

“Puff!”

After a series of movements, the Fire Jiao suddenly opened its mouth.

Immediately, a mouthful of golden flames spewed out from its mouth, shooting towards the Silver-Winged Yaksha.

The power of these flames was extremely strong.

As soon as they appeared, they illuminated the entire dim underground palace brightly.

Seemingly sensing the extraordinary nature of the flames, the Silver-Winged Yaksha’s face showed a solemn expression for the first time.

Its body trembled, and the silver wings on its back suddenly spread open, retreating hundreds of meters back.

Facing these unknown flames, it very wisely chose to avoid their edge!

What a pity.

The Little Lizard had fought alongside Mu Feng for a long time.

Its combat awareness was naturally not bad.

Seeing the opponent dodge,

it also pushed off with its legs, and its entire body followed like a cannonball.

Sizzle!

The flames spewed by the Fire Jiao followed the Little Lizard’s body forward.

Before the Silver-Winged Yaksha could stabilize its stance, the golden flames, like a fire snake, moved towards it.

Seeing this, the Silver-Winged Yaksha

flapped its silver wings behind it, dodging again, trying to use its speed to pull away from the Little Lizard.

However, this time, before it could even start moving, it felt its legs heavy.

It looked down and found that its feet were somehow bound by two ice frost chains.

The strength of these ice frost chains was ordinary; normally, it wouldn’t even care.

But at this moment, it was somewhat fatal.

Because with this delay, the Little Lizard had already brought the fire snake on its body surging towards it.

There was no avoiding it.

The Silver-Winged Yaksha could only spread its silver flesh wings to protect its body within them.

Rumble!

The golden flames collided with the silver flesh wings, producing a violent sound.

Dust rose from the explosion area, making it impossible to see what was happening inside, which made Han Yuyan, who was behind, anxiously watch.

Having released several powerful secret arts and Divine Ability in succession, her consumption was also significant.

However, from the results, it was still worth it.

Because she was at least helpful to the battle.

Now was not the time to worry about physical consumption.

She knew that if she couldn’t help Mu Feng and the Little Lizard deal with this Silver-Winged Yaksha,

then only death awaited her.

At that point, what difference would physical consumption make?

She could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.

“Is it resolved?”

Han Yuyan stared wide-eyed, checking the situation ahead.

“Probably not yet.”

It was Mu Feng who answered her.

He had just used his Spiritual Eye Divine Power to investigate the explosion. The flames released by the Fire Jiao were very powerful.

However, the Silver-Winged Yaksha’s flesh wings had very strong defense.

Plus, its inherent earth and wind dual attributes provided a certain immunity to flames.

The previous explosion only made its figure a bit disheveled, but it didn’t have much impact on its combat power.

Of course, it wasn’t entirely bad news.

The good news was that the Yaksha’s wings were still slightly affected by the explosion, making its speed less erratic than before.

“Not yet? Then what do we do? My Origin power is almost used up; I can at most release it one more time. And that Silver-Winged Yaksha has already suffered two losses, so it’s on guard now. I’m afraid it will be very difficult to make a difference in the subsequent battle.”

Han Yuyan said with a bitter smile.

She was the weakest one here.

Her ability to help was truly limited.

“Don’t worry, the explosion still had some effect on it. From now on, just protect yourself, and leave the rest to us!”

After Mu Feng finished speaking,

he stopped talking to her.

Because the Silver-Winged Yaksha had already burst out of the explosion area.

As the Silver-Winged Yaksha rushed out, Mu Feng’s Jiao Transformation guidance was also completed.

As the massive Jiao Dragon phantom behind him entered his body,

Mu Feng, under Han Yuyan’s astonished gaze, transformed into a red Blood Jiao with horns on its head and scales on its body.

Jiao Transformation successful.

Mu Feng’s strength and speed greatly increased.

The rolling smoke on his body became exceptionally dazzling in this dim underground palace.

“Roar!”

After a sky-shattering roar,

Mu Feng swayed his body and met the charging Silver-Winged Yaksha.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two exchanged blows.

In less than a second, they clashed dozens of times.

The speed of the battle was so fast that Han Yuyan’s Divine Sense could barely keep up with their offensive rhythm.

“So handsome, so strong.”

Han Yuyan was filled with shock.

She finally understood why Mu Feng could escape from the joint pursuit of several transformed Yao Beasts.

He was simply too strong.

She had seen descriptions of the Silver-Winged Yaksha’s strength in some ancient texts, stating that it was a refined corpse ghost creature capable of directly killing ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Yet now, Mu Feng, a Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator, was able to fight it to a stalemate.

If the ancient texts were not mistaken,

then Mu Feng’s strength had reached a level she couldn’t imagine.

She leaned more towards the latter.

Because the Silver-Winged Yaksha gave her a strong sense of oppression, much like what was described in the ancient texts.

As for the Jiao Dragon that Mu Feng transformed into, she had no clue whatsoever.

She estimated it was some powerful Divine Ability.

“Roar!”

At the center of the battlefield, the clash between the two sides continued.

This Silver-Winged Yaksha’s strength was indeed close to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Facing the Jiao-transformed Mu Feng and the Little Lizard, which had already activated Super Berserk Art, it still didn’t fall into a disadvantage even fighting one against two.

On the contrary, the more Mu Feng fought, the more he felt something was off.

Because he found that he seemed unable to break through the opponent’s defense.

And every time the opponent clashed with him, it made his arm ache.

If it weren’t for his own decent recovery ability, he probably wouldn’t be able to continue fighting.

“No.”

“I can’t continue close-quarters combat with the opponent.”

“I need to find an opportunity to unleash the sword formation and Golden Lightning Arrow attacks!”

About ten or so Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords were blown away by the Silver-Winged Yaksha’s sound waves earlier.

He actually still had over ninety of them inside his body.

They were more than enough to set up a sword formation.

However, the current problem was how to prevent the opponent from releasing that sound wave, otherwise, his Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords wouldn’t be able to form a formation at all.

As for the Golden Lightning Arrow,

Mu Feng didn’t dare to release it easily, fearing it would be roared down by the opponent, just like his Lifebound Treasure earlier.
