Xu Ye was very angry today. This was his second battle in the Liuxiang Kingdom, and he never expected to be beaten like a stray rat. In terms of strength, apart from the six Yuan Ying Cultivators in Liuxiang Kingdom, almost no one was his match. With his magical treasures, Xu Ye could easily take on five opponents at once.
However, now he had to face ten opponents, and the result of this overload was defeat and retreat.
Xu Ye was injured; a hole had been pierced in his left thigh. He wouldn't die from it, but it affected his speed.
After flying nearly ten miles deep into the Beast Wasteland, Lan Xiao finally caught up with Xu Ye.
"You can't escape now. Hand over your magical treasures willingly, and I'll make it quick to spare you from suffering," Lan Xiao said, blocking Xu Ye in an open area with a light smile.
In the recent Great War, Xu Ye had killed Kong Sanren, ranked seventh among the Heroes of the Fragrant Nation, but he himself was also seriously injured. Otherwise, Lan Xiao wouldn't dare to chase him alone.
"Unaware of your own limitations, do you really think you can catch up with me? Do you think I’m fleeing from you?" Xu Ye sneered coldly, his momentum rising as if he were not injured at all.
Lan Xiao's laughter faded as he realized that Xu Ye was indeed hurt, but the extent of the injury was likely much lighter than he had imagined.
Xu Ye glanced at Lan Xiao as if he were a dead dog and then turned his gaze toward a large tree in the distance. "Since you've come this far, let’s do this together. I’ll exert a bit more effort and send both of you on your way." Xu Ye had indeed noticed Xu Feng following him early on.
Xu Feng didn't expect to hide from Xu Ye either; instead, he decided to act as a hidden observer. With a flap of the Wings of the Strange Dragon, he flew to another tree not far from Xu Ye and joked, "Don't kill me first; kill him." He pointed at Lan Xiao with a mischievous grin.
Lan Xiao relaxed somewhat due to Xu Feng's antics but retorted angrily, "Xu Feng, don't gloat over misfortune. This is no ordinary Nine Dragon Pool expert; Kong Sanren has already been killed by him, and there are more who have been injured at his hands." After the last ambush, Xu Feng's reputation had grown significantly; he was no longer an unknown figure.
Upon seeing Xu Feng appear, Xu Ye's eyes turned icy. "It's you? You're the one who killed Zhou Zhuan? I never would have guessed." Both Xu Ye and Zhou Zhuan were leaders among this batch of Nine Dragon Pool cultivators, each leading ten people. Zhou Zhuan was a disciple of Gao Shou while Xu Ye was a disciple of Xiang Ge. The other leader, also a disciple of Duan Qizhang, had already been surrounded and killed.
With only Xu Ye remaining among the three leaders, he recognized Xu Feng's threat when he first appeared. At that time, he urged Zhou Zhuan to focus on killing Xu Feng but ended up losing Zhou Zhuan instead. Zhou Zhuan's death led to severe reprimands from Gao Shou for Xu Ye; if it weren't for Xiang Ge's protection, he might have been killed on the spot by Gao Shou.
Xu Ye harbored deep hatred for Xu Feng.
However, the arrogant Xu Feng felt quite good about himself and said, "Sorry, I accidentally killed Zhou Zhuan. It's not that I'm too strong; it's just that Zhou Zhuan's character is too poor."
Xu Feng had the strength to kill a disciple of Nine Dragon Pool, which was no longer news. This had already spread among the Top Ten Factions. Seeing that Xu Feng showed no fear, Lan Xiao felt relieved.
Xu Ye fixed his gaze on Xu Feng, seemingly intent on killing him quickly. Xu Feng sensed Xu Ye's murderous intent, and the Wings of the Strange Dragon soared again, lifting Xu Feng ten feet higher. Xu Feng knew he would definitely not be able to defeat Xu Ye in close combat; if he wanted to win, he could only resort to trickery.
"Just a minor skill," Xu Ye declared, his killing intent evident. This was his chance to regain face; only by killing Xu Feng could he go back and give Gao Shou an explanation. The Flying Sword shot up, a red shadow accompanied by a sharp whistle, striking towards Xu Feng like lightning.
"It's him!" Upon seeing Xu Ye wielding the whip-shaped magical artifact, Xu Feng immediately guessed that this was the Nine Dragon Pool cultivator who had sent Zhou Zhuan to kill him. Knowing that this person must have some status in Nine Dragon Pool, and that Zhou Zhuan had already ingratiated himself with Wu Yuchun but still had to follow this person's orders, it was clear that this individual was quite significant.
This was a Medium-Grade Magical Artifact specifically configured for Xu Ye by Xiang Ge, named the Fire Dragon Whip.
Xu Feng was already on guard; he swiftly dodged while simultaneously firing three arrows from the Moonchaser Bow at Xu Ye.
Xu Ye's Fire Dragon Whip was both fast and fierce. Before Xu Feng's arrows were even ten meters away from him, the Fire Dragon Whip had already struck in front of him. With three muffled sounds, Xu Feng's Spiritual Arrows were easily dispersed by the Fire Dragon Whip. This strike caused the Fire Dragon Whip to pause slightly, giving Xu Feng a chance to fly away again, though he was already drenched in cold sweat.
"Eh?" Xu Ye did not expect Xu Feng to escape from his full-force attack. Moreover, judging from the Arrow Force just now, it seemed that Xu Feng's Spiritual Arrows had significantly improved since their first encounter. In just a short time—had he advanced?
Little did Xu Ye know that Xu Feng's Arrow Force came entirely from the improved Moonchaser Bow. This super Moonchaser Bow was infinitely close to being a magical artifact; as long as he wasn't engaged in close combat, he would not be at a disadvantage against an Inferior Magical Artifact. If Xu Ye were hit by an arrow, he wouldn't be able to handle it easily.
"Are you ignoring me this much?" Lan Xiao, who had been watching from the ground, finally made a move. The spiritual sword in his hand disappeared and transformed into a hand seal. Suddenly, a Purple Gold Hammer flew out of the sky, growing to the size of a train engine and charging towards Xu Ye like an out-of-control vehicle.
Another Inferior Magical Artifact! This was the artifact stolen during their first encounter; unexpectedly, it had fallen into Lan Xiao's hands. Lan Xiao dared to chase after them alone; indeed, he came prepared.
Boom! Xu Ye quickly swung his whip to block Lan Xiao's Purple Gold Hammer. The immense impact caused Xu Ye to feel dizzy for a moment. In this hard collision, the soft Fire Dragon Whip was no match for the heavy Purple Gold Hammer. Forced to receive the blow with his whip, Xu Ye suffered another hidden loss in just one exchange.
Xu Feng was overjoyed to see Lan Xiao suddenly unleash his power. Xu Feng's Five Element Needle Technique was a trump card that he dared not use lightly unless absolutely necessary. Meanwhile, Xu Ye's Fire Dragon Whip had a wide attack range, making it difficult for the Ice Spider Web to ensnare him. Therefore, Xu Feng could only use the Moonchaser Bow to engage the enemy.
With Lan Xiao's close combat Purple Gold Hammer, Xu Feng now had more opportunities to use the Ice Spider Web effectively.
After being struck by Lan Xiao's Purple Gold Hammer, Xu Ye felt dizzy with anger. This artifact had originally come from the Nine Dragon Pool, and its previous owner was someone under his command. Now that the artifact had changed hands to the more powerful Lan Xiao, the Purple Gold Hammer, which had posed no threat to him before, suddenly became formidable.
Just as Xu Ye was trying to escape, he caught sight of Chu Wushang's Soul-Cutting Scissors, which only fueled his frustration. The Nine Dragon Pool wasn't invading; it was practically handing out artifacts. He blamed Mu Yingshan, who was responsible for scouting, for failing to bring back crucial information and misjudging the strength of Liuxiang Kingdom, leading to their current passive situation.
"Hmph!" Xu Ye knew the characteristics of the Purple Gold Hammer well. After Lan Xiao landed a hit, he could no longer gain any advantage. The Fire Dragon Whip combined both softness and hardness, rendering the Purple Gold Hammer's brute force ineffective. Fortunately, Xu Feng timely intervened and blocked many of Xu Ye's counterattacks; otherwise, Lan Xiao would have been injured.
The three were engaged in a great battle ten miles away, creating a powerful spectacle that could be clearly seen by other cultivators if they wished.
With Lan Xiao's support, Xu Feng's Moonchaser Bow unleashed its power once more. He spread his Wings of the Strange Dragon and circled in the sky while firing Spiritual Arrows in rapid succession, causing Xu Ye to become flustered.
Taking advantage of Xu Feng's ambush, Lan Xiao reaped significant benefits. Now he focused solely on offense while Xu Ye couldn't find an opportunity to counterattack. As the Cave Master of Eight Directions Cave, Lan Xiao was incredibly strong. After killing Kong Sanren, Xu Ye had suffered some loss of spiritual power and was further weakened by his injuries; he could only slightly suppress Lan Xiao.
With Xu Feng as a master archer nearby launching surprise attacks, Xu Ye found it increasingly difficult to retaliate effectively with his mid-grade Fire Dragon Whip. Xu Feng calculated the whip's attack range perfectly—just far enough away to avoid being hit while still able to strike at Xu Ye.
Due to the considerable distance, hitting Xu Ye was challenging for Xu Feng; however, he could not be ignored. If struck by an arrow, it would likely end the battle.
After half an hour of fierce fighting, trees lay toppled all around them. The sounds of battle from ten miles away grew closer as several groups of Golden Core Cultivators from the Top Ten Factions rushed over; some who couldn't discern the situation were already heading toward Xu Feng.
At this moment, both Xu Ye and Lan Xiao showed varying degrees of declining spiritual power. Only Xu Feng remained unaffected in his long-range assault state. After advancing to Golden Core stage, Xu Feng's unique Five-Element Golden Core was immensely powerful and sustained his spiritual energy without limit for the Moonchaser Bow. The consumption rate of Spiritual Arrows was far lower than his Five Element Golden Core's regeneration ability.
Unless Xu Feng resorted to using his Five Element Needle Technique with a full Wood Element release under immense spiritual power stimulation, he would not experience any depletion of energy.
Three cultivators arrived in response to the news. Xu Ye didn't have time to analyze their cultivation levels; his pale face tightened again as he used a whip to force Lan Xiao back and released his Flying Sword, flying deeper into the Beast Wasteland.
After dragging for half the distance, Xu Ye was truly making his escape this time.
With his mind set on fleeing, Xu Ye left Lan Xiao far behind after just a few miles. Lan Xiao sighed lightly and thought, "What a pity, he got away. I wonder if Xu Feng would dare to chase after him alone. With his strength, it would be risky to expect any gains."
Lan Xiao took a pill and turned back to fly away.
The eight Yuan Ying Cultivators were still locked in fierce battle. At this level of combat, when both sides are evenly matched, fighting for several nights is common. If one side wants to escape, it's not difficult at all; they can fight if they want or evade if they must. Without an absolute numerical advantage, it's nearly impossible to catch up.
At this moment, the Nine Dragon Pool Golden Core Cultivators had become like scattered dogs, no longer able to put up a fight. The Top Ten Factions, with their overwhelming numbers and strength, had beaten several Nine Dragon Pool cultivators to tears.
The cultivators from Nine Dragons Drift had initially flaunted their magical treasures but now wished they could throw them away to avoid trouble from the Top Ten Factions' relentless pursuers. They considered surrendering outright, but the bloodthirsty members of the Top Ten Factions were not interested in listening to their pleas. Their eyes were only on two things: magical treasures for power and lives to take down enemies for glory.
Occasional screams echoed within a ten-mile radius, causing some beasts that had fled far away to turn back: "Huh? Could that be one of our kind? That sound is quite special; I wonder if it's male or female."
