"Quick, stop them!"
"No way, Cheng Shixiong, there are too many of them, and most of these are Fourth-Stage Winged Serpents, comparable to the Third Level of Yuan Martial Realm. They are tough to deal with!"
The voice came with heavy panting. Under the probe of Soul Thought, Ye Feng discovered an open area ahead of the Passage.
In this area, several torches had been inserted into the mountain walls, and the firelight illuminated the surroundings much more clearly.
Ye Feng did not reveal himself immediately; he quietly approached the cave entrance and observed carefully. He found that the ground was crawling with serpents of varying ranks. These serpents had flesh wings and could glide short distances in the air while leaping high, moving with strange speed.
Dozens of serpents faced off against a small team of more than ten Trial Disciples. Each Trial Disciple wore a look of terror on their faces. Although they had swords for defense, the scales on the serpents had extremely strong defensive capabilities; even if struck by swords, they would only leave shallow marks.
"Cheng Shixiong, there is a cave entrance ahead. If we can escape into it and then block the entrance, we should be able to hold off these serpents!" One Trial Disciple glanced towards Ye Feng's hiding spot and noticed the Passage he was in.
"Flying Wing Serpent? Huh, it's actually disciples from Golden Cloud Palace. How did they end up in a place like this?" Ye Feng was taken aback when he recognized the attire of one Trial Disciple. Golden Cloud Palace was one of the Northern Border Nine Sects and also participated in this Nine Sect Trial. Logically, Trial Disciples should be scattered around the outskirts of Qiu Yang Secret Realm gathering materials, yet they had gathered so early and ventured this deep.
"Could it be that Tianyi Daoist's whereabouts have been discovered by these disciples?" Ye Feng was filled with doubts. The movements of this group of Trial Disciples were too strange, so he did not reveal himself immediately but continued to wait cautiously nearby.
Cheng Xiaofeng, being the strongest among them, held a Mysterious Gold Sword and stood firmly at the front of the team. He practiced the most domineering Supreme Technique among the seven elements: Golden Sword Technique. Combined with his Mid-Level Xuan Stage Mysterious Gold Sword, he could unleash formidable combat power.
Although there were many Flying Wing Serpents, most were only around the Third Stage. The few Fourth-Stage Winged Serpents closely surrounded a Fifth Stage serpent that had not yet made a move. This Fifth-Stage Winged Serpent was significantly larger than the others and seemed to be the leader of this group. Its three pairs of flesh wings glowed with a blood-red light as its small eyes fixed intently on Cheng Xiaofeng.
Once a beast reaches Fifth Stage, it possesses some intelligence. This Fifth-Stage Winged Serpent had not acted recklessly, clearly wary of Cheng Xiaofeng's strength.
Cheng Xiaofeng might have a chance against this Fifth Stage serpent alone, but there were simply too many lower-tier serpents that had already drained much of his Vital Energy.
"You’re right!" Cheng Xiaofeng suddenly slashed horizontally at a low-tier serpent charging at him and nodded to a fellow disciple beside him. "If we keep dragging this out, we won't stand a chance against these serpents. We can only escape into that cave first!"
"Without further ado, I will carve a bloody path. You must follow closely behind!"
Cheng Xiaofeng roared, his wrist shaking as he unleashed a large swirl of golden sword flowers, slashing towards the Flying Wing Serpent blocking their way.
The first two Third-Stage Serpents, unable to escape the range of the sword flowers in time, found their scales ineffective for defense and were directly sliced into pieces by the Mysterious Gold Sword.
A large spray of blood filled the air, and the surrounding area was thick with the smell of blood. The Flying Wing Serpent seemed intimidated by Cheng Xiaofeng's ferocity and retreated in unison.
"Now's the time, charge!" Cheng Xiaofeng shouted, his steps quickening as he rushed towards the cave where Ye Feng was located.
The Fifth-Stage Winged Serpent, which had been watching Cheng Xiaofeng's movements, suddenly raised its head and let out a shriek.
"Not good, those Fourth-Stage Winged Serpents are moving again!" a disciple exclaimed in alarm.
Cheng Xiaofeng's expression changed dramatically.
The Third-Stage Serpents clearly retreated with intent. Just as Cheng Xiaofeng leaped over the demon serpents, a Fourth-Stage Winged Serpent flapped its powerful wings and quickly surrounded him, cutting off his team's path. The previously retreating Third-Stage Serpents suddenly twisted their bodies to encircle the more than ten disciples following Cheng Xiaofeng.
As a result, the more than ten disciples who couldn't keep up were blocked by groups of Third-Stage Serpents, while Cheng Xiaofeng found himself surrounded by five Fourth-Stage Winged Serpents.
Hiding at the cave entrance, Ye Feng sighed inwardly. The leading Trial Disciple had overestimated those disciples behind him. Due to their earlier entanglement, the slightly weaker disciples had already exhausted their Vital Energy and could not keep up with the speed of the leading Trial Disciple. Meanwhile, the Fourth-Stage Winged Serpents, having conserved their strength and being naturally fast, easily severed the path between Cheng Xiaofeng and his trailing disciples.
"Fight your way out and regroup with me!" The Fifth-Stage Winged Serpent Leader was eager to engage. Cheng Xiaofeng realized that if they delayed any longer, they would all perish here. He decisively issued an order for a full assault and turned back to fight!
Although the Fourth-Stage Winged Serpents were still no match for Cheng Xiaofeng, they managed to skillfully evade his Mysterious Gold Sword thanks to their two pairs of wings.
Their purpose was simple: to delay Cheng Xiaofeng.
The Fifth-Stage Winged Serpent leader finally moved, its three pairs of meaty wings spreading out, each about ten feet long. With a flick of its serpentine tail, it leaped high into the air, accompanied by a strange, piercing shriek that was imposing.
To Cheng Xiaofeng's surprise, the Winged Serpent Leader's target was not him, but rather the low-level disciples entangled by the third-stage Flying Wing Serpents.
Most of these disciples were at the fifth or sixth level of the Origin Martial Realm. While they could barely fend off dozens of third-stage Flying Wing Serpents' attacks, they were no match for the Fifth-Stage Winged Serpent!
"Not good, the Fifth-Grade Beast is coming! Run!" one disciple from Golden Cloud Palace cried out in horror, being the first to break away from his fellow disciples and flee back the way they came.
"Liu Xuan, don’t run! Without us supporting you from the side, you'll be in even more danger!" another disciple urgently warned. Unfortunately, Liu Xuan was already terrified and completely ignored the warning.
The Demon Serpent Leader flapped its wings and turned in mid-air, charging toward the fleeing disciple from Golden Cloud Palace.
"Ah!" After a scream of despair, this disciple was ensnared by the serpent's body, as thick as a water barrel, and lost his breath in an instant.
Only then did the Demon Serpent Leader leisurely open its massive jaws and bite down on this disciple's head, swallowing him whole!
With its tongue flicking out slightly, the satisfied Demon Serpent Leader slowly turned its head, its chilling gaze sweeping over the remaining disciples of Golden Cloud Palace.
Including Cheng Xiaofeng, all Trial Disciples turned pale, their Divine Souls shaken.
"Forget about him! Once we break formation, there's only death awaiting us. We must regroup with Cheng Shixiong as soon as possible!"
A slightly older disciple from Golden Cloud Palace quickly spoke up, trying to stabilize everyone's mindset.
"There's no escape, no escape! We're all going to be eaten by this demon serpent!" Many disciples were already in a daze, losing their will to resist.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Demon Serpent Leader spread its fleshy wings once more, casting a massive shadow under the flickering flames!
"Form up, attack!" Cheng Xiaofeng shouted hoarsely.
No one heeded Cheng Xiaofeng's command; the remaining disciples of Golden Cloud Palace trembled, unable to even grip their weapons steadily, let alone form a formation to face the enemy.
At that moment, a purple figure suddenly swept through the air, accompanied by a rumbling thunder, charging towards the leaping Demon Serpent Leader.
"Tide Sound Palm!"
Arcs of electricity surged towards the Winged Serpent Leader like a tide, creating a dazzling display of lightning.
The Demon Serpent Leader clearly did not expect someone to suddenly attack from the side; its body paused slightly, and before it could react, it was struck by the incoming figure.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three consecutive palms struck down, enveloping it in arcs of electricity. The terrifying Thunder Elemental Power penetrated the Demon Serpent Leader's flesh, wreaking havoc within.
With a strange hiss, the massive body of the Demon Serpent Leader crashed against the rock wall like a kite with its string cut.
"Quickly break out of the encirclement! Leave the Demon Serpent Leader to me!" As the electric light faded, a handsome figure dressed in Dragon Tiger Sect attire turned to the stunned crowd below and shouted loudly.
The timely rescuer was none other than Ye Feng, who had been waiting for an opportunity nearby. Although he had no ties with the disciples of Golden Cloud Palace, they were all part of the Northern Frontier and Nine Sect Trial disciples, so he naturally could not allow them to be picked off one by one by the Flying Wing Serpent.
"Thank you for your help, senior brother!" The disciples of Golden Cloud Palace did not know Ye Feng personally, but they recognized his Dragon Tiger Sect attire and quickly guessed his identity due to his displayed strength.
However, they did not directly call out Ye Feng's name, fearing it would provoke Cheng Xiaofeng, who was struggling to deal with the Demon Serpent.
The Fifth-Stage Winged Serpent Leader was clearly not easy to handle. After being struck by Ye Feng's Tide Sound Palm, it seemed to have only sustained minor injuries, losing just over a dozen scales.
Nevertheless, the paralysis effect of the Thunder Elemental Energy still left it somewhat disoriented. It only regained some mobility after Ye Feng approached again.
"Hiss!" The Demon Serpent Leader suddenly opened its massive jaws, unleashing a stream of yellow toxic mist aimed directly at Ye Feng.
The Flying Wing Serpent itself could not spit out toxic mist, but after gaining a certain level of power, it could accumulate toxins by consuming poisonous substances and often spewed them out in critical moments to catch enemies off guard.
Ye Feng had anticipated this. Using the Wind Treading Step, he ghosted to the side, swinging his Azure Dragon Sword in a horizontal slash.
The blade cut through the air, splattering blood. One of the Demon Serpent Leader's flesh wings was severed cleanly by Ye Feng.
The Demon Serpent Leader let out a shrill scream, and the remaining pairs of flesh wings flailed desperately, trying to sweep Ye Feng away.
It never expected that this seemingly ordinary human possessed such terrifying speed. While evading its toxic mist, he was able to turn and slash at its flesh wing.
"Show me what else you've got!" Ye Feng sneered. Empowered by the Thunder Elemental Energy, his Azure Dragon Sword shimmered with crackling electricity.
