Chapter 73

Feeling the familiar scent in the space, Ye Feng's chaotic mind finally calmed down a bit. Reversing the time ratio to 3:1 in the space, he won himself precious time. It no longer mattered why Liu Yong had suddenly become so powerful; what mattered was that Ye Feng had to kill him now. As for the consequences of the murder, he no longer cared. The brutal deaths of Zhu Zi and the others had shaken him to his core, causing the principles and beliefs he had held for over a decade to crumble.

In the real world, chaos had erupted. Although the process of Ghost Wolf killing people and later confronting Ye Feng was quick and quiet, it was still witnessed by some workers who were smoking and watching the rain at the entrance of the shed. The workers who saw the terrifying and bloody scene could hardly believe their eyes. Some screamed in shock, some ran around the shed, and the more courageous ones started to call the police. However, more people, not knowing what was happening, walked out of the shed to see what was going on.

After Ye Feng suddenly disappeared, Ghost Wolf felt a bit nervous. He knew that Ye Feng possessed the ability to become invisible, and his four ghost slaves had been destroyed the last time Ye Feng used this ability. However, Ghost Wolf was confident that his cultivation was now higher than Ye Feng's. He was determined to seize this opportunity to kill Ye Feng. Since Ye Feng did not appear on his own, he decided to lure him out. So, Ghost Wolf immediately ordered the four super ghost slaves to rush towards the crowd outside the shed, preparing to start another bloody massacre.

In the space, Ye Feng watched the real-world scene unfold very slowly, which was the greatest advantage of the 3:1 time ratio. When he saw the four strange figures (ghost slaves) heading towards the crowd outside the shed, he understood Liu Yong's (Ghost Wolf's) intentions. With a thought, Ye Feng appeared in a place within the space where strange flowers and trees grew. There was a type of fruit tree he couldn't name, with small, hard fruits that had tiny thorns on the shell. Ye Feng quickly picked dozens of these thorny fruits, put them in his storage ring, and then used the law to exchange evil points for the ability to become invisible. He then used his mind to leave the space.

As soon as he emerged, Ye Feng immediately used 4 virtue points to create a clone, and then used his divine sense to control the two invisible clones to throw the thorny fruits at the heads of three super ghost slaves. The "Full Sky Star Throwing Technique" required no aiming, and it worked perfectly. The three super ghost slaves were instantly hit and turned into pools of yellow liquid. The remaining ghost slave was also pursued and punched into yellow liquid by Ye Feng himself.

At this point, the panicked crowd began to scatter.

This was the first time Ye Feng had engaged in a real battle after reaching the peak of the Qi Condensation stage. Fortunately, his efficiency was quite good. His speed, strength, and reaction time had all improved significantly compared to when he was at the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation realm.

Next, Ye Feng focused on dealing with Ghost Wolf, who had transformed into Liu Yong. Ghost Wolf had already sensed Ye Feng's position. Previously, because Ye Feng had hidden in the Nine Stars Space, Ghost Wolf could not sense him with his ghost sense. However, since his cultivation was now higher than Ye Feng's, as soon as Ye Feng left the Nine Stars Space, even if he was invisible, Ghost Wolf could still sense him.

But Ghost Wolf pretended not to know where Ye Feng was, trying to lure him into attacking and lower his guard. However, Ye Feng's next move foiled his plan. Without hesitation, Ye Feng used his divine sense to control the two clones to throw thorny fruits at Ghost Wolf continuously.

This time, Ghost Wolf couldn't pretend anymore. He used the Ghost Shadow Technique to avoid the thorny fruits and increased his speed to the maximum, charging towards Ye Feng. But just as he was about to get close to Ye Feng, Ye Feng disappeared again.

Watching the slowed-down Liu Yong in the space, Ye Feng understood that this Liu Yong, whether controlled by an evil cultivator or possessed, was not the real Liu Yong. The real Liu Yong would never have such abilities. He also knew that this "Liu Yong" was stronger than him, as he could clearly feel that the other's divine sense was more powerful. Therefore, even if he wanted to kill him, he couldn't fight him head-on, or he would not only fail to avenge Zhu Zi and the others but also lose his own life.

So, Ye Feng decided to use the time difference between the space and the real world to confuse, anger, and exhaust the opponent. If he couldn't match the opponent's strength, he would try to disrupt his mind and drain his energy.

Thus, a scene that infuriated Ghost Wolf unfolded. Every time he could sense Ye Feng with his ghost sense, he immediately faced a barrage of thorny fruits. When he used the Ghost Shadow Technique to charge at Ye Feng, Ye Feng would disappear. This repeated over and over, and it seemed that Ye Feng had an endless supply of thorny fruits, appearing from different positions each time.

This made Ghost Wolf feel desperate. As his ghost energy was consumed and time passed, he realized that Ye Feng was intentionally trying to wear him down. Although his cultivation was clearly higher than Ye Feng's, if this continued, he would not be able to kill Ye Feng before midnight, and he would also be unable to kill Ye Feng. This prolonged struggle was clearly very disadvantageous for him.

Ghost Wolf was anxious and conflicted. If he gave up on killing Ye Feng and fled, he would not be able to resolve Liu Yong's resentment and would miss the best opportunity to advance his cultivation to the mid-stage of the Ghost Leopard realm on the 14th of July. But if he continued to fight Ye Feng, as time passed, he would ultimately be the one to suffer.

He couldn't afford to waste any more time. Just as Ghost Wolf was distracted by this conflict, Ye Feng suddenly changed his strategy. This time, when he emerged from the space, he did not throw thorny fruits but controlled the two clones to attack Ghost Wolf from three directions.

Caught off guard, Ghost Wolf managed to dodge in time, but his arm was still torn by Ye Feng. The human-form Ghost Wolf felt intense pain and realized that although his cultivation was higher than Ye Feng's, Ye Feng had some kind of treasure that could continuously block his ghost sense. If he continued to fight Ye Feng, he would not have a good outcome.

Without hesitation, Ghost Wolf decided to retreat. He used the Ghost Escape Technique, his body enveloped in ghost energy, and sank deep into the ground, trying to suppress his ghost energy as much as possible. This way, he could ensure that Ye Feng could not track him with his divine sense. If he continued to compete in speed, he might not be able to outpace Ye Feng, given his current state of exhaustion.

Even if he couldn't use the Yin female and the Earth Spirit Child to advance his cultivation, as long as he was alive, he could return to the secret realm, to his Ten Thousand Ghost Sect, and find his master, Ghost Ancestor. Perhaps Ghost Ancestor would have a way to resolve the resentment Liu Yong had left in his consciousness.

With this in mind, Ghost Wolf immediately used the Ghost Escape Technique, his body sinking deep into the ground, and he suppressed his ghost energy to the maximum, ensuring that Ye Feng could not track him.
