"Tiezi, it's not that I didn't want to save you, it's that I didn't have the ability... I'm sorry..."
The guard kowtowed repeatedly on the ground towards an empty space, wailing and howling like a banshee.
It seems that the guard was also affected by the Skeleton King's innate ability to attack the soul, and his deepest fears were stirred up.
Bai Muxue glanced at the guard and said, "He is my guard leader, named Chen Haoyang, and my previous guard leader was named Lin Tiehan. Once, Lin Tiehan and Chen Haoyang and others went out with me. As a result, Lin Tiehan died tragically in the mouth of a monster. Chen Haoyang was not strong enough at the time and could only watch helplessly as Lin Tiehan was eaten by that monster."
"I arrived too late, so I couldn't save Lin Tiehan. I could only kill the monster to avenge him. After Lin Tiehan died, Chen Haoyang became my guard leader."
"Although Chen Haoyang is now a martial artist in the True Essence Realm, that incident has become his nightmare."
Bai Muxue's explanation made Ye Feng suddenly understand.
Ye Feng initially thought that Chen Haoyang's actions, driven by fear, were quite comical.
But now, Night Wind felt a little sorry for that guy.
"So what exactly was that terrifying memory that was just triggered in you? Would you mind telling me? I'm very curious," Ye Feng asked with a smile.
Bai Muxue was silent for a moment before finally saying, "I saw my deceased mother. My mother died in childbirth, and I had only ever seen her portrait. But after being struck by the vengeful spirit of the Skeleton King, I saw my mother turn into a vengeful ghost seeking my death, which is why I..."
I see.
Bai Muxue's deepest fear was the guilt she felt towards her mother.
Bai Muxue must have felt that she owed her mother a lot, which is why she was affected by the innate supernatural power of the vengeful spirit Skeleton King. Seeing her mother, who had turned into a vengeful ghost, coming to claim her life, Bai Muxue was so frightened.
Another guard has been infected, and he's wailing and howling there.
Bai Muxue glared at Ye Feng, annoyed, and said, "Didn't you come to help me? In that case, don't just stand here and watch. Go and take care of that vengeful skeleton king!"
"I think you're just jealous and want me to fall for your tricks so you can see how pathetic I look, right?" Ye Feng chuckled.
Bai Muxue blushed, it seemed that this was most likely what she was thinking.
Ye Feng found it quite amusing; the Soul King's innate ability to attack the soul, no matter how you looked at it, had the feel of a truth or dare game.
"Actually, your guards could have killed that vengeful skeleton king, but its innate ability to attack the soul is quite troublesome, which is why it has taken so long. In a little while, your guards will definitely defeat that vengeful skeleton king," Ye Feng said slowly.
"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly," Bai Muxue urged.
It seems that Bai Muxue is really eager to see what Ye Feng looks like when his deepest, most fearful memories are stirred up.
Night Wind smiled and strode towards the vengeful skeleton king.
The approaching night breeze immediately attracted the attention of the vengeful Skeleton King.
The vengeful skeleton king, his cloak billowing, suddenly turned and looked at the night wind.
"Night Wind, we're here to help you!"
"We've taken care of all the wronged spirits and skeletons over there, hee hee!"
Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan suddenly emerged from the mist and flew across the night wind to the front of the vengeful skeleton king.
However, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were no match for the Wraith Skeleton King and were defeated by him in a single exchange!
The vengeful skeleton king grabbed Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan with his left and right hands respectively, tearing at their flesh.
"Night Wind, save me!"
"I don't want to die..."
Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan let out a pitiful wail.
Night Wind wanted to go to the rescue, but found that he couldn't move his body at all!
Did I get infected?
The Soul King's attack on the soul is truly impossible to defend against!
No wonder Bai Muxue fell for it; the Skeleton King's innate divine power is indeed formidable!
However, now that he knew he had been tricked, how could Ye Feng be scared?
All of this is an illusion, not real. So how could Ye Feng feel fear?
"Golden Eyes of All Laws, open!"
The night wind let out a roar, and its eyes instantly turned into golden pupils.
In an instant, Ye Feng broke free from the soul attack of the vengeful skeleton king.
The vengeful skeleton king was still fighting fiercely with the guards, while Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan had never arrived at all; what Ye Feng had just seen was merely an illusion.
"Compared to the Heavenly Music Illusion Array, your illusionary attack is far inferior!"
Night Wind laughed loudly and raised his right hand, pointing into the distance.
The Void Primordial Divine Finger!
The vengeful skeleton king stopped abruptly, its body trembling violently.
The next moment, the body of the vengeful skeleton king began to collapse and disintegrate, turning into powder and dissipating into the air.
The guards were all stunned, and they all looked at Ye Feng.
Bai Muxue came up to Ye Feng and looked at him with surprise.
Bai Muxue suspected that Ye Feng was a martial artist, and now her suspicions have been confirmed. However, even after carefully examining Ye Feng from head to toe and sensing the aura he exuded, Bai Muxue still couldn't determine Ye Feng's specific cultivation level.
"I didn't expect you to kill the Wraith Skeleton King in one move. The Wraith Skeleton King is a whole realm higher than ordinary Wraith Skeletons; it's a seventh-tier demonic beast, equivalent to the True Essence Realm of a human martial artist. You killed a seventh-tier demonic beast, the Wraith Skeleton King, with a single martial skill. What realm are you in? The Divine Travel Realm or..."
"My level of cultivation is not important," Ye Feng said, shaking his head.
The vengeful skeleton king died, and the other vengeful skeletons retreated like a tide.
But the fog did not dissipate.
Ye Feng was still worried about Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan, so he said, "You're safe here now, I need to go check on my two companions."
After saying that, Ye Feng turned around and left without looking back.
It wasn't long before Ye Feng found Jiang Lingxuan.
Jiang Lingxuan was chasing a vengeful skeleton, seemingly addicted to the fight, constantly shouting, "Don't run away! Stop if you dare..."
"Alright, there's no need to chase after them anymore."
Ye Feng pressed down on Jiang Lingxuan's shoulder to stop her and looked around.
But after looking around, Ye Feng still couldn't find Sun Muqing.
"Where's Mu Qing? Isn't she with you?" Ye Feng asked.
"That's strange, she was just next to me a moment ago." Jiang Lingxuan scratched her head, looking completely confused.
Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat!
Could it be that Sun Muqing was injured, or even killed?
How is that possible!
