Netherworld Ghost Steps!
An hour later.
After a thorough release of emotions, the Evil Qi within Ye Chenfeng’s body had completely dissipated, and the black gas in his Dantian stopped emitting the dense Evil Qi.
This gave him a deep sense of relief.
Ye Chenfeng knew that if he couldn’t expel the Evil Qi from his body, it would be extremely dangerous for Xia Zining, who was with him.
Moreover, if he entered an uncontrollable state of confusion, even he himself would be in great danger.
Recalling the sudden change in his body, Ye Chenfeng broke out in a cold sweat.
He carefully examined the black gas in his Dantian and found that it had almost turned into a dark red gas.
This dark red gas, which had mutated from the black gas, was now quietly coiled within Ye Chenfeng’s Dantian.
Now, Ye Chenfeng dared not attempt to touch the dark red gas with his Soul Force.
Who knew if it would release a dense Evil Qi again?
So, Ye Chenfeng decided to temporarily set aside the matter of the dark red gas.
Once he came back to his senses, he saw Xia Zining in his arms biting her red lips, staring at him fiercely with her beautiful eyes!
Ye Chenfeng sniffed the fragrance of Xia Zining’s body and smiled awkwardly, saying, “Zining, I lost control of my body just now.
Luckily you were here!
That’s what allowed me to regain my senses in time.”
Xia Zining’s beautiful eyes were filled with resentment as she spat, “Chenfeng, even if you want to, to do that to me, you shouldn’t have torn my clothes!
What am I supposed to wear now?”
Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders, patted Xia Zining’s bottom, and said, “Zining, stand up for now.
I will take care of your clothes.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Zining was about to stand up from Ye Chenfeng’s arms, but her legs went weak, and she fell back into his embrace.
She pounded on Ye Chenfeng’s chest with her small fists and said, “It’s all your fault, all your fault, making it so I can’t even stand up.”
Ye Chenfeng quickly helped Xia Zining stand and picked up her clothes from the ground.
A few tears were on the outer gauze garment she was wearing.
He quickly tied the torn strips together, temporarily closing the tears.
Then, Ye Chenfeng handed the clothes to Xia Zining, saying, “Zining, there, it’s fixed.
As long as you don’t make any sudden movements, the tears in the clothes won’t split open.
Later, just drape my outer garment over, and that will be foolproof.”
After Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining were properly dressed, Ye Chenfeng saw the strange way Xia Zining was walking and said with a laugh, “Zining, you should sit down and rest for a while.”
“Hmph!” Xia Zining snorted coyly through her nose, saying, “Chenfeng, you’re still laughing.
Men are all no good.”
With that, Xia Zining found a spot in the great hall and sat down.
Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng walked over to the side of three water tanks.
Indeed, he saw two dust-covered wooden boxes.
He bent over and picked up the two boxes, wiping the dust off them before opening the first box to reveal a book made of special material.
The cover bore the title “Complete Tome of Formations.”
Ye Chenfeng opened the Complete Tome of Formations and casually skimmed through it.
He found that the Desolate Maze was included in this tome, only deemed a mid-level Formation.
The highest-level Formation described in the tome was called Heaven’s Illusionary Formation.
According to the Complete Tome of Formations, the Heaven’s Illusionary Formation was a city-protection Formation.
For instance, if this Formation were deployed around the perimeter of Tianxing City, it would immediately generate a white mist.
Once someone entered the mist, they would undoubtedly lose their way and eventually perish within the Heaven’s Illusionary Formation.
After Ye Chenfeng had simply flipped through the Complete Tome of Formations, he felt that setting up the Heaven’s Illusionary Formation around Tianxing City was indeed a very good idea, since Tianxing City had already become his base among the top powers.
After tucking the Complete Tome of Formations into his bosom, Ye Chenfeng opened the second wooden box, which contained the Ghost King Sect’s unique technique, the Netherworld Ghost Steps.
Sitting next to Xia Zining with the Netherworld Ghost Steps in hand, Ye Chenfeng casually asked, “Zining, have you ever heard of this Netherworld Ghost Steps from the Ghost King Sect?”
Xia Zining pouted and said, “There’s very little information about the Ghost King Sect that circulates outside.
I’ve never heard of the Netherworld Ghost Steps.
Before, I found it quite strange that if the Ghost King Sect was once a top-notch sect, then even if it was destroyed, there certainly would have been many stories passed down.
It wasn’t until I came to the ruins of the Ghost King Sect that I truly understood—it must have been the Ancient Martial Punisher of that generation who suppressed the information about the Ghost King Sect, because it was a stain in his life.”
Having said that, Xia Zining turned her gaze towards the Netherworld Ghost Steps in Ye Chenfeng’s hands, her eyes brimming with curiosity.
Ye Chenfeng quickly flipped through it, and together they briefly went over the introduction and cultivation method of the Netherworld Ghost Steps.
The Netherworld Ghost Steps was indeed a very special technique.
If one could cultivate it, they would be able to produce a phantom image identical to their real body when executing it.
Not only that, the phantom’s aura was exactly the same as the real body’s, and whatever action the real body performed, the phantom would follow.
This would leave the enemy completely unable to distinguish which was real and which was the phantom.
As one’s cultivation in the Netherworld Ghost Steps grew deeper, up to five identical phantoms could be produced, but these phantoms existed for only a limited time.
Even if not dispersed by the enemy, they would automatically dissipate after one minute.
However, one should not underestimate this one minute’s duration.
In battles between experts, the outcome is often decided within a mere second or two.
Therefore, if one could truly cultivate the Netherworld Ghost Steps to perfection, it would definitely be an invincible trump card in combat.
Having learned about the Netherworld Ghost Steps, Ye Chenfeng suddenly became interested and laughed, asking, “Zining, do you think it’s difficult to cultivate the Netherworld Ghost Steps?”
Xia Zining gave Ye Chenfeng a glance and said, “For others, it’s definitely difficult, but for a freak like you, it’s hard to say, since it seems like nothing can really stump you?”
“Zining, since you have so much faith in your man, I’ll start trying to cultivate it right now.
You need to rest a bit anyway!
With your condition, you shouldn’t be able to walk yet, right?” Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.
Before Xia Zining could retort, Ye Chenfeng stood up, moving to the center of the great hall; he had already memorized the cultivation method of the Netherworld Ghost Steps.
Ye Chenfeng closed his eyes and went over the cultivation method of the Netherworld Ghost Steps in his mind.
Then, he suddenly opened his eyes and the Soul Force inside his body began to circulate slowly.
According to the required method of the Netherworld Ghost Steps, he directed the Soul Force around his body.
Ye Chenfeng quickly stepped forward, and a residual image appeared beside him, but it disappeared cleanly after one or two seconds.
Naturally, Ye Chenfeng was not one to easily admit defeat.
He continuously executed the Netherworld Ghost Steps, with his Soul Force rapidly draining away.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
Just when Xia Zining was about to persuade Ye Chenfeng to stop, she saw him suddenly take a huge step forward.
This time, a phantom identical to him appeared at his side.
Ye Chenfeng raised his right hand, and the phantom also raised its right hand; whatever Ye Chenfeng did, the phantom would do in sync immediately.
However, the existence of Ye Chenfeng’s phantom was brief, lasting only a short ten seconds before completely dissipating.
Despite this short duration, Xia Zining, who was watching, couldn’t help but mutter in shock, “He’s not human.”
