Bailuo had actually been secretly following Lan Yuanfeng, and his appearance here was not aimed at Ye Feng and the others. It was simply because Lan Yuanfeng had brazenly abandoned his clan to escape from the Phantom Demon’s attack, and Bailuo couldn't let a captured duck fly away.
However, like Lan Yuanfeng, he was surprised to encounter Ye Feng and his group upon emerging from the bottom of the high platform. The strength of Ye Feng made him hide again, thinking that he would wait for these two groups to fight each other before revealing himself.
But often, things do not develop in the direction one expects. Before he could wait for Lan Yuanfeng to be killed, Ye Feng sensed his presence. However, due to his confidence, he still revealed himself. He was indeed at the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm.
However, after transforming into a demon, he would become even stronger and could contend with a Martial Saint. At this moment, the only Martial Saint, Lan Yuanfeng, had already been incapacitated. Although Ye Feng was strong, he had not yet reached a level that made Bailuo afraid to show himself.
When Ye Feng intervened to save Lan Yuanfeng, Bailuo displayed a puzzled expression. He looked at Ye Feng and said lightly, “Don’t you want to kill him? He is the one responsible for the deaths of most of your disciples during this trial!”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ze and the others revealed fierce looks, wanting to devour Lan Yuanfeng alive. However, Ye Feng picked up on other information. He warily stared at Bailuo and replied calmly, “From what you said, it seems you know quite a bit!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Ze and the others realized that this guy above them might be their greatest threat!
Being aware of the conspiracy happening on the plain while possessing such unfathomable strength and not warning them from the start—such a person could hardly be considered good.
Bailuo was slightly taken aback; unexpectedly, he had revealed his hand just now and felt embarrassed. Quickly regaining his composure, he transformed his expression into a cold one and said, “So it seems you intentionally lured me out?”
Ye Feng saw his tacit acknowledgment and instead of getting angry, smiled and said, “That’s not it; it was just a matter of convenience!”
“Oh? So you intend to make a move against me?” Bailuo said with a smile hiding a knife!
Ye Feng secretly gathered his energy, ready to strike forcefully at any moment. However, he maintained a flattering demeanor as he said, “That’s not quite it either; it’s just that if you can’t provide a good reason, even if I believe you are just passing through here, I will still have to take some action.”
“After all, we humans have an irreconcilable hatred with your demon clan. Don’t you agree?” At the end of his statement, Ye Feng revealed a cold smile; he wanted to see what thoughts this hidden demon truly harbored!
To everyone's surprise, Bailuo did not reveal his evil nature upon hearing this. He smiled, seemingly unwilling to provoke Ye Feng, merely glancing at Lan Yuanfeng below before looking back at Ye Feng and saying, "Kid, you are strong, but also very arrogant."
"If you had killed Lan Yuanfeng from the start, I wouldn't have come out at all. You must know that my target is only him. But by doing this, you clearly intend to oppose me?"
Ye Feng also smiled, appearing quite pleased at first, but soon his tone turned cold: "Such words might fool a child, but are you really so old that you think you can play us humans for fools?"
A demon capable of transforming had lived for at least several hundred years, so speaking like this to the opponent wasn't entirely inappropriate!
However, Bailuo was no longer calm upon hearing this. He clenched his claws, revealing a cunning expression as he said, "So, you really intend to save this idiot? Just a moment ago you wanted to kill him, and now you want to save him. Is it that humans have no principles?"
This clever provocation did not incite Ye Feng's anger. Below, Zong Nan and the others began to shift their ire towards the demons upon realizing who they were dealing with. After all, no matter how much they hated Lan Yuanfeng, it couldn't compare to the scars the demons had left on the continent!
Humans and demons were like fire and water, natural enemies! This point was a shared belief among them!
While Ye Feng contemplated the role of the demons in this incident, he also began preparing to strike. After all, he did not believe that he could learn more information from this guy just by talking.
The crisis on Yue Ma Plain seemed to involve more than just simple schemes!
"Sorry, senior, but I don't have much time to waste with you. In the end, I just want to make one thing clear: no matter what your purpose for being here is, I will not let you go—just like how we humans defeated your Lord Asura many years ago!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they completely shocked Bailuo! He looked at these young individuals who appeared to be only in their teens or twenties and was taken aback that they would bring up events from a thousand years ago—this matter concerned the demons and was of great significance. He finally decided not to pretend any longer!
"You annoying brat! I'll make you understand what happens when you provoke a demon!" Bailuo revealed his sharp fangs! With a fierce expression, he immediately launched an attack!
A dark and ominous aura surrounded him; it served both as an offensive and defensive measure! As he struck out, he unleashed highly corrosive dark poison gas!
The poisonous gas slowly spread throughout the space! Ye Feng frowned and loudly reminded, "Use your Vital Energy to protect your minds, don't let it affect you!" At the same time, he gripped the Golden Dragon Sword and sharply thrust it upward!
As this action was taken, the brilliant blade formed by the Light Sword Shadow was summoned once again, directly attacking the opponent's face!
Compared to Lan Yuanfeng's miserable defeat, Bailuo was naturally not so easily overcome! He revealed an evil smile! With a flick of his claws, he shouted, "Demonic Fire! Block for me!"
As he spoke, a demonic aura emanated from his claws! The demon transformed into Azure Ghost Flame! The flames blazed fiercely and formed a fire array that boldly resisted Ye Feng's divine sword!
With one attack failing to succeed, Ye Feng's expression changed as he sensed that this person's strength was formidable. He couldn't help but retract the divine sword while simultaneously changing his movement technique. He combined Wind Step with Wind Control to weave countless afterimages in the air, making it difficult to discern his true form!
However, Bailuo looked at this and laughed heartily: "Such trivial skills cannot obstruct my demonic ambitions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly struck out with his claws again. The previous demonic fire transformed into an offensive technique, and the flames turned into several streams of fire. The Azure Ghost Fire Stream descended like a meteor shower, attacking the numerous afterimages!
Soon, under the assault of the Azure Ghost Fire Stream, Ye Feng was forced to reveal his true form! His chest bore black scorch marks! Gritting his teeth, he quickly retreated from the range of the fire stream's attack while using Thunder Fist to meet those flames head-on, successfully countering the opponent's assault!
However, in his heart, Ye Feng was greatly shaken. Just relying on this demonic fire ability had rendered his powerful divine sword ineffective. Even the afterimages were completely neutralized, leaving him momentarily at a loss!
At this moment, the clash between Thunder Fist waves and Azure Ghost Fire Stream continued. It was evident that the fire stream seemed capable of neutralizing all things while the fist waves could only slightly diminish its effects; defeating this opponent was far from achievable!
Although those below felt anxious for Ye Feng, none could assist him because the gap in strength between both sides was too great. Rushing in recklessly would only create chaos without any effect!
Cheng Ze couldn't help but anxiously say, "What can we do? One wave hasn't settled before another comes!"
Zong Nan beside him also expressed concern: "At this rate, no matter how strong Ye Feng is, he won't be able to withstand it!"
Compared to the thoughts of these two, the Huang Yao brothers were once again hesitant, but none of them dared to voice it!
Just as everyone was in a difficult situation, Lan Yuanfeng's deep voice broke through: "As long as you help me cast the spell, once I recover a bit, I can go up and assist!"
This statement immediately drew everyone's attention. Cheng Ze and the South Wall sect members showed joy, thinking that having such support would be quite beneficial!
However, Huang Yao was the first to shake his head and said, "How do we know that after you recover, you won't turn against Ye Feng?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Ze and the others realized this crucial point! After all, it was Ye Feng who had beaten him to this state! He probably wished for Ye Feng's demise!
But Lan Yuanfeng responded with a bitter smile: "Although I have a grudge against the Ye Feng you speak of, you heard it too; that demon clearly wants me dead. Ye Feng at least saved my life. Regardless of anything else, I must thank him! Why would I help that demon harm him?"
His reasoning was valid, yet Huang Yao seemed intent on making things difficult for him, continuing with cold words: "What if after you recover, you just run away without helping? We have no one here who can stop you! Who knows, if you get angry, you might take us all down before leaving!"
This statement was undeniably heart-wrenching! Even Lan Yuanfeng looked confused after hearing it, at a loss for words. In the end, he could only say: "Believe it or not, if you have a better option, then keep stalling. After all, stalling until the end will lead to death anyway!"
Cheng Ze and the others fell silent; both sides had valid points. Huang Yao was looking out for their lives after all. Lan Yuanfeng had a history, and this demon had suddenly appeared; who was good and who was bad was truly uncertain!
Meanwhile, the battle in the sky had reached a fever pitch! Ye Feng struggled to entangle with Bailuo using Raging Thunder Step and Thunder Fist! Although the Divine Sword of Light and Harmony was incredibly powerful, it could not break through that nameless demonic fire!
He could only fight while retreating, feeling extremely forced and awkward! It seemed that with just a slight mistake, Bailuo could take him down! Below, Cheng Ze and the others were anxious! Finally, Zong Nan gritted his teeth and said: "At this rate, it's futile; we might as well listen to that old man Lan and take a gamble!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately agreed upon by Cheng Ze! After all, this was better than waiting for death! But Huang Yao continued to stop them: "Have you thought this through? What if he has ill intentions toward us? Who among you can bear that responsibility?"
Zong Nan couldn't care less at this point! With a flushed neck, he shouted: "It's easy to talk when you're standing there; we haven't seen you do much fighting yourself! If there's no way out, don't play the good guy! Cheng Ze! If he won't go, we'll go ourselves!"
Tearing off the facade, no one could hinder anyone else. Huang Ge remained expressionless, while Huang Yao turned pale, watching Cheng Ze and another person head towards Lan Yuanfeng, feeling utterly helpless!
He had no choice but to turn to his brother and sighed, "This place is not suitable for staying long. I think we should take this opportunity to leave through the Underground Palace!"
This was the only survival method he could think of, but he never expected that as soon as he said this, he would be met with Huang Ge's cold sarcasm: "If you want to leave, go ahead. I'd rather follow them than stay with you!"
"You!" Huang Yao felt a surge of anger and pointed at Huang Ge, unsure of what to say!
Huang Ge continued coldly, "What? Still want to take action against me? Save your energy. With that strength, you might as well escape sooner! Coward!"
After hearing this, Huang Yao completely lost his temper. He began to realize that he had made an irreparable mistake; leaving alone was too dangerous. It seemed better to hope that Ye Feng could win!
Thinking this way, despite his reluctance, he took a step towards Lan Yuanfeng's direction.
Huang Ge remained unmoved like a mountain, only gazing at the two people above him, especially Ye Feng, not understanding what had happened to him that he had improved so terrifyingly. He harbored ulterior motives in his heart...
