"Gurgle! ~Chit~gurgle~"
A bizarre black magic circle inexplicably appeared on Yuan Ling's neck, and a mass of red flesh rapidly pulsed from within the circle, emerging and condensing into the likeness of Kolleggi within a few breaths. However, the number behind his ear was 7.
"This guy..."
Ye Feng frowned slightly.
"You are indeed strong, but do you think I can kill this woman before you kill me... Ah..."
Before Kolleggi No. 7 could finish threatening Ye Feng, he let out a scream. Yue Yan had made her move. The ice-blue light flashed on her hand, instantly piercing and freezing Kolleggi No. 7's body.
The ice-blue light flickered on Yue Yan's hand, and the strange black magic circle on Yuan Ling's neck instantly collapsed and disintegrated...
"Hmph, just a parasitic magic circle!"
Yue Yan snorted coldly and walked up to Ye Feng. "Hey, Ye Feng, how do we deal with this guy!"
"Buzz!"
As Ye Feng was contemplating, the space in front of him suddenly twisted and tore open. A powerful pressure emanated, and two figures slowly emerged from it.
"This..."
Upon seeing the arrivals, Ye Feng's expression changed.
Because the other party was another Kolleggi, but this one had no number behind his ear. Beside Kolleggi was Ares, whom Ye Feng had driven away in the City of Arcane Arts.
Ares still had an unhealed wound on his forehead. Moreover, unlike when Ye Feng saw him in the City of Arcane Arts, he was now wearing a gleaming golden armor inscribed with runes, which was clearly the Counterattack Armor previously worn by Alarak.
"I didn't expect to meet again so soon!"
Ares narrowed his eyes, staring at Ye Feng, his voice almost gritted out.
"Whoosh!"
Ye Feng did not reply. His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared before Ares, his Tang Dao slashing swiftly towards the opponent.
"What?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng felt a wave of horror.
Because as he gripped the Tang Dao and swung it halfway, his body abruptly halted, completely unable to move... And a strange black magic circle appeared beneath his feet...
"Such an impatient young man!"
Kolleggi glanced indifferently at Ye Feng, who was now within arm's reach.
"Impatient to die!"
Ares's roar followed closely.
As he spoke, Ares had already produced the Spear of War. Red-gray divine power surged on the Spear of War, and it was piercing towards Ye Feng's chest at an extreme speed...
"Bang!"
In a flash of lightning, a large hand shot out and grasped the Spear of War, instantly dispersing the red-gray divine power on it. However, it was not Qiao Ying, Yue Yan, or Yue Feixue who had made the move, but the Kolleggi beside Ares.
"Hey, Kolleggi, what the hell are you doing? Let me go, I'm going to kill this kid!"
Seeing this, Ares immediately struggled in dissatisfaction, trying to pull out the Spear of War, but it was firmly held by Kolleggi.
"Stop!"
Kolleggi turned his head and said calmly to the grim-faced Ares. Ares, who was about to continue struggling, was stunned by Kolleggi's cold gaze...
"This..."
Ye Feng, noticing this scene, was very surprised. "What is this Kolleggi's background? Even this Ares seems to... be a little afraid of him?"
"This kid is cunning!"
Kolleggi narrowed his eyes as he sized up Ye Feng, then reached out and grabbed Kolleggi No. 1, No. 5, and No. 7. A red-gray substance instantly flew out of the bodies of these three Kolleggi with ear codes and landed in Kolleggi's hand.
"Whoosh! ~Whoosh~!"
Almost at the same time, the bodies of the three Kolleggi with ear codes became extremely withered. Within a few breaths, they turned into ashes and scattered with the wind...
After doing all this, Kolleggi cast a cold glance at Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, Yue Yan, and Yue Feixue, then tore open space and left...
Ares, from beginning to end, stared at Ye Feng with immense hatred until the spatial rift closed...
"Big brother, are you alright?"
Xiao Xiao and the others wanted to run towards Ye Feng but hesitated. They had wanted to act just now, but Ye Feng had stopped them with a look.
"I'm fine!"
Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief and looked at the ground. "This black magic circle is very strange. It causes the powers within your body to conflict with each other... Strictly speaking, I wasn't trapped by this magic circle... but by the power within myself..."
"If you run into this magic circle, you will likely end up like me..."
"Kolleggi stopping Ares from attacking me just now wasn't out of kindness... but because he didn't want Ares's attack to break the balance of internal power suppression..."
"In that case, this black magic circle on the ground would likely be ineffective!"
Saying this, Ye Feng turned his head with some difficulty and looked at Xiao Xiao. "Xiao Xiao, try attacking me with fire!"
"Oh, okay!"
Xiao Xiao nodded and sent out a small stream of flames.
"Ugh!"
Ye Feng grunted and took a few steps back, a sense of surprise in his heart.
Because logically speaking, Xiao Xiao's attack just now shouldn't have caused his internal blood qi to surge...
However, Ye Feng had no time to think further and quickly ran to Yuan Ling's side, concerned. "Yuan Ling, are you alright?"
"Ye... Ye Feng, it's really you... I... I'm fine..."
Seeing Ye Feng, who had matured considerably, Yuan Ling was surprised and delighted.
"I... I am in trouble..."
At this moment, Alarak's weak voice came from not far away, and He Shang, who was pale and unable to speak, nodded in agreement.
...
Evening,
After being bandaged, Alarak and He Shang took some medicine and went to rest. Yuan Ling and Xiao Lu, whose injuries were lighter, did not rest but were talking with Xiao Xiao...
......
On the other side, Ye Feng, along with Qiao Ying, Yue Yan, and Yue Feixue, was studying the peculiar black magic circle that Kolleggi had created earlier, which had almost instantly controlled Ye Feng.
"I've never seen this magic circle before... However, the runes on it seem to be demonic runes..."
Qiao Ying said after some observation.
It wasn't just Ye Feng; Qiao Ying and the others also took the black magic circle very seriously. After all, if it could instantly subdue Ye Feng, it could likely instantly subdue them as well... This would be extremely dangerous in a fight...
"Indeed!"
Ye Feng, who had collected two demon daggers previously, nodded. "This demonic rune magic circle can cause the powers within the body of the person within the circle to mutually restrain and cancel each other out... That's how I was instantly controlled before..."
As he spoke, Ye Feng frowned deeply because, for some unknown reason, ever since he escaped from the demonic rune magic circle, the Heavenly Tribulation Fire and Calamity Water within his body seemed to be restless...
"Yue Yan, what do you think of that guy named Kolleggi?"
At this moment, Yue Feixue looked at Yue Yan, her expression solemn.
...
