The sword light swept in with great momentum, but it suddenly vanished before Feng Jia, only to reappear at his side.
"Spiral Counterattack!" Feng Jia reacted quickly, shifting his body as he summoned the Golden Elemental Force. With a flick of his right hand, he conjured a Light Shield made of Spiral Sword Qi at his side.
With a hum, the sword light dissipated as if it had sunk into the sea.
"What an eerie sword light. How is this possible? It clearly came in a horizontal slash, yet it suddenly disappeared and appeared somewhere else." Outside the arena, many were still immersed in the shock of Ye Feng's narrow escape from death, not expecting that the sword technique he unleashed next would be even more mysterious and unfathomable.
Among the observing Rescue Disciples, the Beautiful Young Girl also had this question.
"This is an effect caused by swinging the sword at such incredible speed that it touches the edge of spatial realms," Lu Yu said with a wry smile.
"Spatial realm? Isn't that something only a Xuanwu Realm Martial Saint could possibly master? And it's the most difficult spatial realm to grasp. How could this be? Could he be a hidden Xuanwu Realm Martial Saint? That can't be true. If he were really a Martial Saint, why would he come to our Heavenly Mechanism Sect to participate in the disciple assessment?" The Beautiful Young Girl's face turned pale, her shock rendering her somewhat incoherent.
While others were merely astonished by Ye Feng's mysterious sword light, Feng Jia, as Ye Feng's opponent, felt a chill deep within.
If it weren't for his keen instincts honed through rich combat experience, he would have found it nearly impossible to withstand such an unfathomable strike.
"Not bad. You've blocked my Void Sword Technique twice now. I wonder how many more times you can block it!" Ye Feng smiled leisurely, raising his Lingfeng Sword once again.
With another seemingly casual strike, the sword light swept through the air at a moderate speed but suddenly vanished midway. When it reappeared, it was already behind Feng Jia's head.
"Clang!"
Feng Jia's long sword seemed to sense it in advance and timely blocked the direction of the incoming sword light.
Even though he managed to block this strike again, he couldn't feel any joy. The Spiral Counterattack was only suitable for close combat and could only protect one-third of his body. If Ye Feng continued to launch long-range attacks, he would inevitably fall into a passive position of being beaten.
Moreover, it was evident that the Void Sword Technique mentioned by Ye Feng had the potential to increase in power further.
"You can block one beam of sword light; I wonder if you can safely block two or three."
Ye Feng smiled lightly, shaking the Lingfeng Sword in his hand, exuding an unusual confidence.
"Even if you can defeat me, what good will it do? Can you handle everyone present?" Feng Jia shouted with a fierce expression, feeling uneasy. Upon realizing that Ye Feng could summon more strange sword lights simultaneously, he found it hard to believe that such a level of sword technique could be executed multiple times at once. However, he admitted to himself that he indeed lacked the strength to block more than two strange sword lights.
"Demon Hunting Squad, what are you waiting for?" Feng Jia finally remembered that he was the captain of the strongest team among all the Trial Teams. He had no need to fight Ye Feng one-on-one, even though he had always been reluctant to admit that he was inferior to Ye Feng.
At Feng Jia's call, more than ten Trial Disciples awkwardly stepped forward.
"You can't win alone; are you planning to gang up on me?" Ye Feng smiled slightly and said proudly, "Why don't you all come at me together and see how many sword lights I can unleash in an instant!"
The members of the Demon Hunting Squad exchanged glances. Their strength was far inferior to their captain's. If even the captain struggled against the sword lights, how could they cope? Although they had mustered the courage to step forward, none dared to get too close.
"Xiang Shaowen, Luo Yong, I didn't expect you two to be here as well. Are you also here to collect points and materials?" Seeing that the Demon Hunting Squad dared not act rashly, Ye Feng lost interest in saying much more and glanced toward the positions of the Brave Squad and Dragon Soaring Squad, speaking coldly.
"No, no, no, we are just here to watch the excitement!" Long before Ye Feng appeared, they had already considered retreating. After all, the shadows in their hearts couldn't be erased in just a day or two. They only had one last chance for rescue left; if wasted, they would lose their qualification to pass the assessment.
"It wouldn't be good if you lost your entry qualification while watching the show. Don't you think so, Xiang Shao?" Ye Feng said with a half-smile.
No one dared to meet Ye Feng's gaze. Even Xiang Shaowen, who had previously been arrogant and confrontational with Leng Wei, rarely lowered his head now. Under Ye Feng's warning, he led his subordinates away in embarrassment.
Outside the stronghold, many Trial Teams quickly scattered and left. A few remaining teams were closely acquainted with Feng Jia and believed their team's strength was considerable. They thought that even if Ye Feng was strong, he couldn't possibly defeat them all, which gave them the courage to stay.
Cheng Ze's Demon Slaughter Squad was also among those who remained. The Bald Young Man looked quite grim; his fierce gaze kept sweeping over Ye Feng. The sword techniques Ye Feng had displayed made him extremely wary. He hadn't expected even his old friend Feng Jia would find it so difficult to deal with him. However, he knew that Feng Jia wouldn't give up easily; if a major battle broke out between the two sides, he would have a chance to take advantage of the chaos.
A light drizzle began to fall from the misty sky, soaking the ground and landing on everyone's faces.
The already dark Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons appeared even more desolate under the rain's backdrop.
The atmosphere inside was incredibly tense. This small-scale rain wouldn't affect them at all; as long as they wished, they could open their Vitality Shields at any time to dispel the rain.
No one took the initiative to strike first. The Demon Hunting Squad hesitated due to Ye Feng's strength, while the Demon Squad waited for Ye Feng's orders.
"The strength of the Demon Hunting Squad is generally at the late stage of the Origin Martial Realm. We, the Demon Squad, are definitely not their match. This is troublesome. Just relying on Brother Zhou alone may not be enough to hold off the Demon Hunting Squad. This Feng Jia is too shameless, actually using the advantage of his team to pressure Brother Zhou," Wang Qin said angrily.
"Don't worry, Brother Zhou will definitely have a way to handle this," Bai Jing said, though even he was somewhat skeptical. After all, besides the Demon Hunting Squad, there were several top-tier teams surrounding them. The ones that had left were either weak or had only one chance for rescue and were unwilling to take risks.
"Are you planning to come at me one by one, or all together?" Ye Feng said, sword held before him, speaking loudly.
"What a big mouth! Do you think you can handle all of us by yourself?" Feng Jia replied coldly.
Having already lost face in a one-on-one fight against Ye Feng, he was embarrassed that Ye Feng showed him no mercy in front of all the members of the Demon Hunting Squad.
"Why would I need to face all of you alone?" Ye Feng suddenly laughed. "Haven't you noticed that your commotion has already attracted enough beasts? In fact, the number of beasts coming this time is enough to form a Beast Tide. Tsk tsk, I wonder if you can survive the Beast Tide from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng leaped back into the stronghold of the Demon Squad and then gestured with his right hand for everyone to leave quickly with him.
"A Beast Tide?" Panic surged among the crowd as they looked around but found no signs of movement.
Feng Jia was suddenly alarmed; indeed, with so many people gathered in one place, a strong Elemental Wave could easily attract all nearby beasts' attention.
He felt a vague sense of worry, but when he saw Ye Feng retreating and no signs of movement around them, he couldn't help but curse, "What nonsense Beast Tide! Most of the beasts in the Trial Ground have been cleared out; there won't be a large-scale Beast Tide at all. This kid is just talking nonsense to scare us into letting him lead his team away."
"What are you still dawdling for? Go after them!"
Seeing his team members looking confused and unsure of what to do, Feng Jia felt anxious and leaped forward, ready to chase after them.
"Boom!"
It was as if an earthquake had occurred; the entire ground began to shake violently. Many Trial Disciples jumped up to look from above and quickly spotted a massive swarm of beasts rushing in from miles away, raising clouds of dust that obscured the sky and coming in with great momentum.
Everyone's face turned pale as they watched Ye Feng lead the members of the Demon Squad disappear into the depths of the jungle, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
"What are you still doing? Hurry and escape! With so many exotic beasts, even the Rescue Disciple can't save us!" Someone finally realized the severity of the situation. The Beast Tide from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons was on a completely different level than what they usually encountered; it was beyond their ability to resist.
"How could a Beast Tide form in the Trial Ground? Wasn't it said that there were barriers on the outskirts?" Cheng Ze shouted with a pale face, questioning the hidden Rescue Disciple in the air.
The Outer Sect Disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect responsible for rescue also appeared somewhat dazed, hastily taking out their Heavenly Mechanism Mirrors.
"The barriers are completely destroyed, how is that possible?" someone exclaimed, their feet trembling beneath them. Overwhelmed by fear, they nearly fell off the Azure Sky Disc.
The Heavenly Mechanism Mirror was covered with red dots of various sizes. Based on the size of these dots, the disciples could gauge the strength of the exotic beasts within the Beast Tide. To their astonishment, although low-level exotic beasts made up the vast majority, there were also quite a number of mid-level and high-level exotic beasts, and even several top-tier exotic beasts. The terror of this Beast Tide was beyond their imagination.
"Let's hurry and leave; escape as much as we can. If we head north from here, we should be able to get out of the Trial Ground before the Beast Tide arrives!" Lu Yu forced himself to step forward in front of everyone. Facing the accusations from the Trial Disciples, he offered no explanations but urged them to flee early to leave a glimmer of hope.
"Hurry and notify the Sect's higher-ups about the current situation and have them send people for rescue as soon as possible," Lu Yu said, ignoring everyone's questions, turning to the worried Beautiful Young Girl.
"Understood!" The girl nodded, lightly tapping her toes on the disc and swiftly soaring away from above.
Lu Yu looked up at the direction where Ye Feng had disappeared and thought to himself: "The location where the Beast Tide erupted is exceptionally far from here; my Soul Thought can't sense it at all. Could it be that he possesses Soul Thought comparable to an Expert of the Gale Martial Realm?"
