The darkness of the night enveloped everything. In the forest, even the cries of the bugs vanished.
In a thirty miles radius where the demons were gathering, a zone of deathly silence was formed.
In the darkness, seven nimble figures rapidly leaped through the trees in the forest.
They were none other than Lin Feng, who was the leader, and the other six from the Jialan Academy.
They took advantage of nightfall and snuck into the gathering place of the demons.
"Look, there's a giant cave there. What a terrifying aura. There's definitely an extremely powerful demon or devil in the cave." Ouyang Li pointed at the mountain peak in the distance.
On the mountain peak, a gigantic cave could be seen.
There were demons and devils such as flying asuras, white-haired asuras, earthfiend devils, and a gigantic demon of about eight meters tall patrolling the area around it.
"Seems like the powerful existence in the cave isn't simple." Lin Feng had a cold smile on his face.
"Junior brother Lin, what should we do now?" Zhang Muzhi asked.
"We must infiltrate the cave. Let me deal with the Yaksha Commander, and as for the six of you, help me fend off the surrounding devils and demons. Don't let them disturb my fight with the Yaksha Commander," Lin Feng spoke.
"No problem." Zhang Qichu nodded.
Using the night as cover, they completely retracted all their auras and silently infiltrated the mountain range. They arrived at the area outside the cave and hid themselves behind the trees.
Finally, they found a one-in-a-thousand chance and managed to sneak into the cave.
Inside, there were no signs of any other devils and demons.
It seemed like all those devils and demons were out patrolling the area.
Not too long later, Lin Feng's group entered the depths of the cave and the mountain's waist appeared before their eyes.
Right in the center, a middle-aged cultivator in black could be seen sitting cross-legged.
At this moment, he seemed to be resting.
"Good lord, this yaksha can take on human form, so his strength is at least at the Martial Master Realm. No wonder he dares to come out and wreak havoc." Lin Feng was startled.
Some demons and devils upon gaining intelligence would understand cultivation and could transform into humans.
Such demons and devils could conceal themselves well and were extremely sinister and crafty.
"Swish~'
Lin Feng pulled out his sword and rapidly launched a stab.
However, the spiritual sense of this devil was extremely sharp.
When Lin Feng attacked, he was instantly startled awake.
"Hmph. A human cultivator actually dares to barge into the cave I'm resting in. You must be courting death," the devil sinisterly spoke.
As he rose into the air, a pair of huge black wings unfolded. He instantly transformed back into a gigantic flying yaksha.
This flying yaksha's wingspan was about five meters long. It had a green face and sharp fangs, and it looked incomparably hideous. The difference between his look now and his human form was like the difference between heavens and earth.
The flying yaksha directly stretched its sharp claws out and grabbed toward Lin Feng.
"Demon, how dare you create trouble and wreak havoc in the True Martial Country. Today, this daddy is here to kill you." Lin Feng felt no fear at all and brandished his sword as he rushed toward the demon army commander, the flying yaksha.
Keng!
The sword in Lin Feng's hands clashed against the flying yaksha's sharp claws, causing the sound of metal hitting against metal to ring out.
Lin Feng instantly felt a terrifying force blasting over. He was knocked backward through the air before he came to a stop from the impact.
"As expected, his strength has reached the Martial Master Realm." Lin Feng's expression grew heavy.
The flying yaksha's strength was in the Martial Master Realm. What was different from human cultivators was that the flying yaksha didn't cultivate any secret arts or martial skills such as sword techniques, fist arts, palm attacks, etc. All his attacks were based on brute force.
"ROAR, ROAR, ROAR!" The demons and devils outside let out earth-shattering roars when they heard the commotion within the cave.
A total of three hundred demons and devils rushed in.
Originally, there were over a thousand of them in the cave. But now, many of them went to other areas to plunder and kill. Only these three hundred remained.
Upon seeing so many devils and demons, the countenances of Zhang Qichu and the others went pale.
After all, they had too much of a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
"Block the cave entrance! Do not allow these demons and devils to enter." Zhang Qichu was the calmest. He called out the orders in a loud voice.
Fortunately, this cave wasn't extremely large, and there could at most be tens of demons and devils entering each time. Hence, it was easier for Zhang Qichu and the other five to block them.
The six of them began to clash against the demons and devils outside the cave.
"Despicable humans, no matter how much you all struggle, there's only death," said the flying yaksha commander sinisterly.
Swish~
He spread his wings and lunged once again toward Lin Feng.
The yaksha's weapon was none other than its incomparably sharp claws.
As long as he managed to inflict a light scratch on Lin Feng's body, Lin Feng would be poisoned and die easily under the yaksha's claws.
Keng, keng, keng!
Lin Feng brandished his sword and slashed it out. Both parties fought tens of rounds, but Lin Feng didn't manage to gain any advantage at all.
The flying yaksha suddenly leaned forward as its sharp claws grabbed toward Lin Feng's chest.
"Danger!" Lin Feng's expression changed. Luckily, his reaction speed was quick enough. When the dangerous moment came, he managed to retreat with explosive speed.
"Hehehehe. Brat, I will take your life soon." said the flying yaksha while letting out sinister-sounding laughter.
He once again rushed Lin Feng.
The sharp claws flashed with a fearsome cold light, like sharp blades of incomparable might.
Lin Feng's expression was cold. He held his sword vertically before his body.
"Blazing Sun Sword Art!"
RUMBLE~
Upon facing the flying yaksha's attack, Lin Feng held nothing back.
"Brat, it is useless. You will die for sure today."
The piercing light didn't cause too much obstruction to the flying yaksha's vision. The strength of this monster was too tyrannical!
The flying yaksha rapidly rushed in front of Lin Feng and slashed his claws out, meeting the sword slash.
Keng!
The flying yaksha smiled malevolently. One of his claws grabbed hold of Lin Feng's sword while his other claw swiped toward Lin Feng.
At this moment of extreme danger, Lin Feng actually had a cold smile on his face.
"Devouring martial soul!"
RUMBLE~
Lin Feng activated his martial soul. The devouring martial soul flew out of his dantian and transformed into a black hole.
It distorted the surroundings, and the immobilizing force enveloped the yaksha, causing its speed to be reduced greatly.
"Haha. Brat, your martial soul is very special, but it's useless. You won't be able to stop me!"
"Oh is that so?" Lin Feng smiled coldly.
At this moment, the effects of three devouring martial souls stacked together.
RUMBLE~
The second and third devouring martial souls were activated by Lin Feng.
Their effects superimposed and enveloped the flying yaksha commander.
Right now, the yaksha found it extremely difficult to move any part of his body.
"Ah, how could someone have three identical martial souls?" cried the flying yaksha commander in disbelief.
Lin Feng's expression was cold. Holding the sword hilt with both of his hands, he erupted forth with domineering strength.
Pu~
That sword was directly pried free from the claws of the yaksha, directly penetrating the flying yaksha commander's chest.
Thud!
The flying yaksha commander fell to the ground. He twitched a few times before taking his last breath and dying completely.
