In front of the official disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, no one dared to resist even slightly.
This Outer Sect Disciple seemed completely uninterested in anything else, not even glancing at the Blood Wolf on the ground, and directly took away five members of the Demon Slaughter Squad, disappearing into the depths of the jungle.
Not far away, Bai Jing and Wang Qin exchanged glances, marveling at the situation while feeling a slight sense of relief. The Heavenly Mechanism Sect truly lived up to its reputation as a top-tier sect, keeping its word and providing every disciple with an additional chance for rescue.
The Demon Slaughter Squad now had only seven members left. These members had passed at least two assessments during the previous Talent Assessment, so they inherently had one chance for rescue. This recent rescue only consumed the temporarily granted opportunity, allowing them to continue participating in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons assessment.
Ye Feng lowered his head in deep thought, recalling the scene when Blood Wolf executed the Demon Wolf Flash. Through his spiritual energy probe, he memorized the energy operation method after Blood Wolf activated its self-destruct core. He felt that he might be able to comprehend something of his own from such a sudden outburst of powerful energy in Martial Techniques in the future.
"The cultivation level of that Outer Sect Disciple just now seemed to be only at the Eighth Layer of Yuan Martial Realm. Why did it give me such an overwhelming feeling?" Leihong frowned and said.
Most Outer Sect Disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect linger around the Origin Martial Realm. Once they enter the Gangwu Realm, they can directly advance to Inner Sect Disciples and enjoy better treatment.
"The depth of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is remarkable. The disciples within the sect, whether in their Supreme Techniques or Martial Techniques, are far superior to those outside. Although that senior brother's cultivation level was only at the Eighth Layer of Yuan Martial Realm, if it came to a fight, even Cheng Ze would definitely not be a match!"
The greatest advantage of cultivating within a sect is having renowned masters for guidance and access to more resources. The foundational strength also increases infinitely with the level of the sect one joins.
At equal cultivation levels, disciples from Heavenly Level Sects can easily overpower those from other sects and ordinary family disciples, excluding exceptional talents like Ye Feng.
Ye Feng didn’t pay much attention to that Outer Sect Disciple from Heavenly Mechanism Sect. For him, creating an illusion of being unmatched was quite simple; with his higher realm, he could manipulate his Elemental Wave freely. If he wanted to, he could easily make Leihong feel the same illusion. In comparison, that Outer Sect Disciple could not completely restrain their Elemental Wave; their control over Vital Energy was on a vastly lower level than Ye Feng's.
The five members of the Demon Slaughter Squad who lost their qualification for assessment had relatively average strength, around the fourth layer of Origin Martial Realm. However, this was undoubtedly a significant blow to the Demon Slaughter Squad since they had already lost over one-third of their personnel just as the assessment began.
"What a pity! After those Blood Wolves self-destructed, their most valuable Demon Cores were wasted. Fortunately, those claws and teeth can be exchanged for a small amount of points!" one Demon Slayer Team Member said dejectedly.
He is one of the two team members responsible for collecting materials in the entire Demon Slaughter Squad. From the recent Demon Wolf Flash, it is clear that the inner cores of these Blood Wolves no longer exist.
Cheng Ze looked grimly at the corpses of the Blood Wolves scattered on the ground, filled with regret. If they hadn't been greedy for a small advantage and troubled Ye Feng, they wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
Compared to the materials from these Blood Wolves, the loss of team members weighed more heavily on his mind. He knew very well that as the assessment progressed, the dangers would increase, and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would not intervene in conflicts between Trial Disciples unless lives were at stake. Of course, if they were forced to intervene, it would consume one of their precious rescue opportunities.
As the assessment reached its later stages, most of the materials that needed to be collected would already have been gathered. At this stage, basically all Trial Disciples who remained in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons could pass the assessment. At that point, they would start competing for more contribution points.
This meant that materials obtained by other teams would become targets for stronger teams. If they handed over their materials, they might still have a chance to pass the assessment; if they refused, they could lose their last chance for rescue and directly fail the assessment.
Cheng Ze now had only two rescue opportunities left, while the remaining team members had just one. If a dispute arose with another team, these members might disregard his warnings and hand over their contribution materials.
“Zhou Jun, just wait! I swear I won't rest until I avenge this!”
Clearly, it was Cheng Ze's own decision-making error, yet he vented his anger on Ye Feng, who had left early. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, vaguely sensing that he had been outsmarted by Ye Feng.
“Quickly gather contribution materials! We must leave here as soon as possible and head to the next base for rest!” Cheng Ze gritted his teeth and said.
The Demon Slayer Team Member responsible for gathering materials sighed helplessly. Originally, there was another person in the team who could share his workload, but that person had already been taken away from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons. From now on, all collection work would fall solely on him.
“Wait!” A light shout suddenly echoed from deep within the jungle.
The members of the Demon Slaughter Squad, who had just relaxed, immediately tensed up and raised their weapons toward the source of the sound.
Ye Feng slowly emerged from the jungle wearing a short green shirt and carrying a long sword on his back. Behind him were members of the Demon Squad who had separated from them not long ago.
“Zhou Jun, it’s really you. It seems you anticipated that we would attract these Blood Wolves!” Cheng Ze felt a long-suppressed anger surge up, rushing to his mind. He drew his twin blades, and his Vital Energy began to circulate again, generating waves of fiery energy that raised the surrounding temperature sharply.
“No wonder you practice the Fire Element Supreme Technique; your temper is just as explosive!” Ye Feng remained unfazed, casually sizing up Cheng Ze. In a calm tone, he said, “Brother Cheng, why such words? We hadn’t gone far when we heard commotion from this direction and hurried over to help. We didn’t expect to arrive late, but it seems Brother Cheng is fine after all, having dealt with these magical beasts so quickly. I truly admire you.”
“It seems like you’re missing a few people.” Bai Jing stepped out from behind Ye Feng with a smile. As the vice-captain, he felt it necessary to give the Demon Squad some face at this moment.
“These are Blood Wolves. When they go all out, even an Expert of the Gale Martial Realm would retreat. What does it matter if a few are missing? Right, Brother Cheng?” Ye Feng’s tone was extremely calm, devoid of mockery, yet each word felt like a sharp blade cutting into Cheng Ze’s heart.
“Looks like you’ve come back to seek death?” Cheng Ze laughed in anger. Although he had expended a lot in the previous battle, he believed dealing with a Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level warrior was still manageable. “Since you have seven chances for rescue, then I’ll just kill you seven times!”
“Oh really?!” Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. “I wonder how many chances you have left; I’m quite interested to know!”
As this provocative statement left Ye Feng's lips, the members of the Demon Squad stepped forward one by one, glaring fiercely at the members of the Demon Slaughter Squad.
Aside from one member of the Demon Slaughter Squad who still had fighting strength as a late-stage Origin Martial Realm warrior, the rest had nearly exhausted their Vital Energy. Even if they quickly consumed some recovery pills, they would need time to recuperate before they could fight again.
Seeing the Demon Squad poised for confrontation, one member of the Demon Slaughter Squad finally couldn’t hold back and stepped forward to say, “This is between your Captain Zhou and our Captain Cheng; it doesn’t concern you much. There’s no need to get involved. Besides, if our two squads clash completely, it will only create more noise and attract more magical beasts. Are you willing to waste your chances for rescue?”
“Haha, you underestimate me, Leihong! It’s just a single chance for rescue; if I lose it, so be it! At worst, I won’t be a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect anymore. But this anger in my chest needs an outlet; as long as I can teach you all a good lesson, why not?” Leihong patted his chest and declared with righteous fervor.
“That’s right, Captain! Let’s go together! Since we’re part of the same squad, we should advance and retreat together!” The members of the Demon Squad were filled with enthusiasm. Although they had their reservations, recalling the ridicule and humiliation they had faced before pushed them to step forward without hesitation.
“Captain, we can’t fight! Although their strength is average, if we engage them now and manage to win, it will still be a pyrrhic victory. Many may lose their chances for rescue and be forced out of the squad; that would make things even harder!” A member of the Demon Slayer Team approached Cheng Ze with concern and whispered.
Despite being furious to the extreme, Cheng Ze ultimately held back upon hearing his team member's advice. He shot Ye Feng a fierce glare and said sternly, “I’ll let you off this time. But if I encounter you again next time, I’ll make sure you regret it!”
"Why wait for the next time!" Ye Feng exclaimed, his expression gradually turning cold. He felt it necessary to properly punish this person, and ideally, spread his infamous reputation so that any random team would think twice before targeting the Demon Squad.
"Are you sure you can let me go? Did I promise to spare you?" Ye Feng said arrogantly. "Don't worry, if it's just the two of us fighting, it shouldn't cause too much commotion. At most, in three moves, I can eliminate your chance for rescue!"
Once these words were spoken, everyone present erupted in excitement.
"What! This kid is too arrogant! Our captain has the strength of Yuanwu Realm Ninth Level and practices Profound Level Top-tier Martial Arts, Cosmic Palm Fire Technique!" a member of the Demon Slaughter Squad exclaimed in shock.
"Boss, are you crazy! He's a master who has reached Yuanwu Realm Ninth Level!" Bai Jing quickly interjected. Although Ye Feng had previously displayed incredible sword skills and his opponent was heavily exhausted, there was still a two-level gap in cultivation that could not be compensated by mere Martial Techniques or this little Vital Energy loss.
"Captain, think twice! The Martial Technique he just used instantly killed Blood Wolf. We only need to drive them back; there's no need to actually fight him!" Leihong whispered urgently.
Wang Qin's face turned pale, unsure of how to persuade Ye Feng.
"No need for more words. Within three moves, if I can't eliminate your chance for rescue, we will leave this place immediately and hand over all our points and materials!"
Ye Feng took a big step forward, walking directly into the open space between the two teams. He slightly raised his right hand and beckoned Cheng Ze with his index finger!
