Although they heard the roars of the beasts, Bai Jing and the others did not notice the presence of the creatures. The four charging beasts blended almost seamlessly with the dense Demonic Energy in the jungle. Apart from Ye Feng, the other nine members of the Demon Squad were completely unaware of the impending threat.
Ye Feng relied on his powerful Soul Thought to detect a slight change in the concentration of Demonic Energy, which led him to discover the approaching beasts.
The eight members of the Demon Squad quickly gathered together, drawing their weapons with serious expressions, ready for battle.
Three demon beasts appeared first, surrounding Ye Feng and his companions from three directions, seemingly intent on capturing them all at once.
Ye Feng remained calm as he carefully observed the three demon beasts encircling them. He noticed that they were not much different from ordinary monsters, resembling a combination of lions and tigers, but slightly larger in size. Black smoke swirled around them, and they occasionally emitted chilling low growls that sent shivers down one’s spine.
Ye Feng was no stranger to demon beasts. The black smoke enveloping their bodies was a manifestation of Mysterious Demonic Energy, which possessed a higher power level than Vital Energy and had a strong corrosive effect on Vitality Shields.
"This is the Demon Lion Beast. Do not let them get close! Your Vitality Shields cannot withstand their attacks. If they corrode your shields, you risk becoming crazed and demonized!" Just as Ye Feng was about to warn them, Wang Qin cried out first.
The strength of the Demon Lion Beast was not particularly formidable; normally, two mid-level Origin Martial Realm warriors could defeat such beasts without much danger. However, when attacking, the Demon Lion Beast could concentrate all its Demonic Energy at its claws. If caught off guard and struck, unless one wore High-Grade Profound Technique level Armor, they would inevitably suffer from Demonic Energy corrosion, leading to confusion and potential demonization.
In Ye Feng's Demon Squad, apart from Bai Jing, four members had attained the fourth level of Origin Martial Realm, while three others reached the fifth level. There was also a young man named Leihong who had achieved the Seventh Level of Yuan Martial Realm, matching Ye Feng's strength.
Unlike mid-level Origin Martial Realm warriors, those who reached Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level had begun refining their Vital Energy. Leihong had refined a quarter of Thunder Elemental Energy; at this moment, arcs of electricity crackled across his body as his Vital Energy surged, creating a powerful display.
Ye Feng had originally entered Gangwu Realm through training with Thunder Elemental Vital Energy and was very familiar with it. He sensed that Leihong's Thunder Elemental Energy seemed extraordinary; although his refinement level was not high, each bolt of Thunder Elemental Energy possessed immense power and was remarkably pure.
"It seems this person possesses an impressive Thunder Supreme Technique; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to refine Thunder Elemental Energy so purely," Ye Feng remarked.
Based on the attributes of everyone's Vital Energy and their Martial Techniques in the area, Ye Feng instructed the members of Demon Squad to form a circle. The stronger members with good close-combat abilities were positioned on the outside to counter the attacks of the Demon Lion Beast while those capable of ranged combat—able to unleash sword energy and Blade Qi—were stationed inside the circle, waiting for an opportunity to ambush the Demon Lion Beast.
The Three-Headed Demon Lion Beast quickly engaged in battle with Ye Feng's Demon Squad. Bai Jing, lacking in strength, could only stay beside Ye Feng on a branch, relying on his protection.
Below, the battle raged on. The Demon Squad was stronger and, with Ye Feng's reminders, had made ample preparations in advance, allowing them to handle the Three-Headed Demon Lion Beast's attacks with ease.
Soon, the Demon Squad shifted from defense to offense. The strongest member, Leihong, unleashed the Thunderstorm Blade Technique. The lightning-like blade light sliced through the air wildly, and single-handedly, he forced one of the Demon Lion Beasts to retreat, breaking away from the fray.
The remaining seven team members felt a chill in their hearts, deeply shocked by Leihong's power. However, they did not forget their responsibilities and unleashed their strongest Martial Techniques to counterattack the other two Demon Lion Beasts. With their overwhelming numbers and strength, the Three-Headed Demon Lion Beast was left howling in distress, its body engulfed in chaotic black smoke, unable to mount an effective counterattack and forced to flee in disarray.
"Hahaha, the legendary magical beasts are nothing more than this!" Bai Jing exclaimed proudly from his perch on the branch. In his eyes, these three low-level magical beasts would soon become a significant source of wealth for him.
"The materials from low-level magical beasts can be exchanged for Contribution Points. If you want to monopolize them, you should ask if they are willing," Ye Feng replied tersely.
Bai Jing glanced at the increasingly fierce members of the Demon Squad below and secretly stuck out his tongue. He was self-aware enough to realize that this group was clearly holding back out of respect for Ye Feng; otherwise, they might have fought him for some ordinary beast materials. However, the low-level magical beast materials could be exchanged for Contribution Points, so he would not easily give them up.
"Fine, fine. I've made enough profit already. After eating meat, I should leave some soup for my subordinates," Bai Jing said pretentiously generously.
Ye Feng's expression remained grave; he did not relax even slightly due to the favorable situation below. This surprised Bai Jing—was there some danger he was unaware of?
Just then, a shadow suddenly burst forth from deep within the jungle. The shadow moved as fast as lightning and swiftly entered the battlefield below.
The shadow completely ignored the seven gathered members of the Demon Squad and targeted Leihong, who had separated from the group to face a Demon Lion Beast alone.
At that moment, Leihong had fully unleashed the Thunderstorm Blade Technique. His body was surrounded by electric light, and arcs of electricity as thick as fingers shot out from his purple blade, striking the protective Demonic Energy of the Demon Lion Beast and causing severe injuries.
So engrossed was Leihong in his attack that he did not notice the shadow approaching from behind. However, instead of directly attacking him, the shadow suddenly halted half a step behind Leihong and solidified in mid-air, revealing its true form.
Bai Jing focused and clearly saw the shape of the dark shadow.
It was a snake-like beast completely enveloped in gray mist.
"Soul-Eating Evil Python!" Ye Feng's hand slowly moved to the hilt of his sword as he murmured.
The Soul-Eating Evil Python, a low-level Soul Beast, had a triangular head and countless small gray spots all over its body. Each spot could release a gray evil mist that eroded mental strength. This gray mist was refined from Demonic Energy consumed by the Soul-Eating Evil Python; anyone, whether human or beast, who was eroded by the mist released from the gray spots would immediately become its puppet.
Upon the appearance of the Soul-Eating Evil Python, the Demon Lion Beast fighting against Leihong let out a joyful roar, as if it had seen a savior.
Ye Feng was slightly startled; it seemed this Soul-Eating Evil Python possessed considerable intelligence. The Three-Headed Demon Lion Beast that attacked first was merely its subordinate. It used the Three-Headed Demon Lion Beast to attract the opponent's attacks and then struck from the shadows when the opponent was distracted.
At this moment, Leihong finally sensed something unusual. The terrifying killing intent that surged from behind made his heart tremble with fear.
Almost instinctively, Leihong drew his sword and turned around, not caring what threat had appeared behind him, and launched an attack first. His quick reflexes in a crisis made Ye Feng watching from the side secretly admire him.
Thunder Elemental Energy had a strong restraining property against evil entities; however, although Leihong's Supreme Technique was impressive and his Thunder Elemental Energy far exceeded that of ordinary Thunder Elemental Warriors, his cultivation level was still insufficient. Moreover, since he was reacting on impulse, he couldn't unleash the full potential of his Thunder Elemental Energy.
The Soul-Eating Evil Python hissed, its body undulating like waves. The gray spots all over it suddenly seemed to come alive, spewing out clouds of gray evil mist that corroded and swallowed the incoming Blade Qi.
Taking advantage of Leihong's turn, the Demon Lion Beast behind him immediately launched a counterattack. Black smoke surged around it, gathering at its one-foot-long claws as it crazily attacked Leihong's back.
Caught between two threats, Leihong felt a wave of despair wash over him. He realized there was no chance for survival left. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel great regret; after an intense battle earlier, he had forgotten Ye Feng's warning and left the fray, leading to his vulnerable back being ambushed by another beast.
Soon, members of the Demon Squad noticed Leihong's predicament and gasped in shock. They intended to rush forward to help him but found that the two Demon Lion Beasts had suddenly gone berserk, unleashing terrifying combat power without regard for their own injuries as they crazily entangled them.
Unable to extricate themselves to help, they could only cast their pleading gazes toward Ye Feng. However, when they realized Ye Feng's position, they immediately abandoned this idea, as he was currently standing on a branch of a large tree, several dozen meters away from them and even further from Leihong.
They understood that at such a distance, even if Ye Feng attempted to save him, it would be impossible.
Just when everyone thought Leihong was doomed and could only hope for assistance from the hidden disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Ye Feng on the branch suddenly drew his long sword from his waist and slashed toward the direction where Leihong was located.
The team members were astonished; at a distance of a hundred meters, even if he could unleash sword energy from afar, it would be too late to rescue Leihong. Was the captain being overly confident?
Bai Jing, who was close by, also witnessed Ye Feng draw his sword for the first time. From drawing the sword from its sheath to swinging it down, the entire process was smooth and fluid, without any hesitation or pause. His expression was exceptionally calm, as if this strike had been brewing for a long time, and he simply executed it when the moment called for it.
What left Bai Jing and the other team members even more shocked and bewildered was that as Ye Feng swung his sword, the long sword with its azure blade seemed to vanish from his hand. It wasn't until he sheathed the sword that its form reappeared with a light clink. Only then did everyone realize that Ye Feng had indeed struck with his sword; it was just that the speed of his swing was so fast that they couldn't see the light or energy of the cut.
With a whoosh!
At the moment he sheathed his sword, a flash of sword light abruptly appeared behind the Soul-Eating Evil Python as if it had breached the barriers of time and space.
It was a streak of azure sword light that seemed both fast and slow, creating an illusion that a sword was hovering behind the Soul-Eating Evil Python, only to suddenly strike at the necessary moment, unleashing this extraordinarily strange sword light.
