Hearing Xue Yi’s words, Xue Lu and Xue Ba immediately understood, rapidly retreated, and leaped back onto the rooftops, landing precisely at Xue Er’s position.
At this moment, Xue San, Xue Si, Xue Lu, Xue Ba, and Xue Jiu all formed complex hand seals. The strange red runes on their bodies surged and extended rapidly, intertwining with the red runes conjured by Xue Yi.
In a short while, the bizarre blood-red runes summoned by the Xue Guards formed a special formation around Ye Feng and the others!
“This fluctuation! Spatial power?”
Ye Feng was very surprised by the wave emanating from the assembled Xue Guards.
It was the same peculiar fluctuation he had felt during his previous encounters with spatial power barriers.
What surprised Ye Feng even more was that the rune formation summoned by the Xue Guards contained a significant number of demonic runes.
“Clang!”
Ye Feng tentatively slashed at the formation surrounding them with his Tang Dao. He discovered it was indeed a barrier composed of spatial power.
“Qiao Ying, when you previously infiltrated Xue Yue City, how did you escape this Sinless Barrier?”
Ye Feng asked Qiao Ying while cautiously observing their surroundings.
“This Sinless Barrier…”
Qiao Ying’s expression turned solemn. “I did not encounter this when I came to the Blood Base previously!”
“I did encounter Xue Guards using spatial power as a barrier, but the barrier areas were relatively small. I haven’t seen such a large-scale spatial power barrier in a long time…”
“And this magnitude of spatial power, by all rights, should not be something these Xue clan members can control…”
“Is it because of that Cain’s Tower?”
Qiao Ying frowned, looking at the black stone monument in the distance, towering high and topped with a large blood-red eyeball.
“Big Brother, be careful!”
Just then, Xiao Xiao exclaimed. Xue San had attacked Ye Feng from behind with extreme speed, the crimson rune blade embedded with bone flashing with sharp light.
“Clang! Clang!”
Ye Feng parried Xue San’s attacks several times with his Tang Dao, but could not harm him in the slightest, even though his blade had come within a hair’s breadth of Xue San’s neck multiple times.
“Whoosh! Clang!”
“Clang! Clang! Whoosh!”
Following this, not only Xue San, but also Xue Si, Xue Lu, Xue Ba, and Xue Jiu attacked Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying from various bizarre angles.
Yue Miao, perhaps due to his weaker performance, did not receive much direct attack, but his expression was equally grim.
“Ye Feng, this Sinless Barrier not only forms a cage of spatial power around us, but it also protects each Xue Guard with a barrier made of spatial power!”
“The two sides of the spatial power barrier can be seen as two worlds; we cannot harm each other… unless…”
Before Qiao Ying could finish speaking, Ye Feng sidestepped, moved closer to Qiao Ying, and quietly finished her sentence, “Unless we counterattack at the exact moment they launch their attack?”
“Clang!”
Ye Feng’s Tang Dao clashed with Xue Lu’s bloodthirsty rune blade, emitting a piercing sound. Only Qiao Ying could hear his words.
“Ye Feng… you… you know?”
Qiao Ying’s bright eyes were filled with shock. The mysterious young man she had met for the first time had given her far too many surprises…
“Big Brother, the weapons these guys are using are inlaid with strange bones that possess fluctuations of angelic power. What’s going on?”
“Especially Xue Lu and Xue Jiu, their weapons are almost entirely made from bones imbued with angelic power!”
Xiao Xiao’s previous attacks, which emitted angelic power, had all been repelled, leaving her quite frustrated.
“Xiao Xiao, the bones inlaid in the Xue Guards’ weapons are likely the bones of angels!” Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.
“What?!”
Xiao Xiao was slightly stunned, then her face turned pale. She had clearly realized something.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
At this moment, Xue San attacked Ye Feng again. Xue Shi, who had remained inactive, also made a move, and his speed was no slower than Xue San’s.
“Clang! Clang!”
After two clashes, immense force sent Ye Feng staggering back several meters.
Xue San, who had clashed with Ye Feng first, had his bloodthirsty rune blade knocked away. However, he did not retreat. Instead, his eyes turned cold, and he lunged forward, his right hand, covered in sharp black nails, stabbing directly towards Ye Feng’s chest.
Seeing this, Ye Feng showed no panic. His eyes sharpened, and the Tang Dao in his hand flashed.
“Slice!”
“Ah!”
A crisp cutting sound rang out, followed immediately by Xue San’s scream. His outstretched right hand had been severed by Ye Feng.
A torrent of blood gushed from Xue San’s severed arm, making the spatial power barrier visibly apparent.
“Bang!”
Ye Feng did not stop there. He stomped on the ground and moved directly towards Xiao Xiao, who was fighting Xue Ba.
This was because Xue Shi had already flown behind Xiao Xiao, clearly preparing to ambush her.
“Whoosh! Clang! Bang!”
Ye Feng moved with incredible speed, reaching Xue Shi in an instant. Xue Shi was not slow either; he contorted his body in mid-air, his body flashing with red light, and lunged towards Ye Feng.
“Ye Feng, be careful! Don’t let that guy entangle you!”
Before Qiao Ying’s anxious voice could fade, Ye Feng twisted his body, dodging Xue Shi at an uncanny angle, and simultaneously swung his blade.
“This angle!”
Just as Ye Feng was considering whether to use this blind spot to kill Xue Shi, as he had done with Xue Wu, the other party uttered a voice that he found unbelievable, “Ye Feng, it’s me…”
“Clang!”
In an instant, Xue Shi’s bloodthirsty rune blade met Ye Feng’s Tang Dao. Using the force of the parry, he retreated.
“Ye Feng, are you alright?”
Qiao Ying ran over. “Xue Shi’s ability is very strange. No matter what attack you launch, he seems to be able to absorb it. If he entangles you, he will drain you dry!”
“I’m fine!”
Ye Feng waved his hand lightly. Though his expression was normal, he was inwardly greatly shocked.
Because when Xue Shi had spoken to him just now, the voice had been Shen Potian’s.
“Hey, Xue Shi, what are you doing? Why didn’t you attack when you had such a good opportunity?”
Xue San, clutching his bloody right arm, angrily questioned Xue Shi.
“Lord Xue San, I was scared…”
Xue Shi waved his hand helplessly. “Lord Xue San, you’re bleeding a lot. Let me bandage it for you!”
“You… useless thing!”
Xue Shi’s words almost made Xue San spit blood. He snorted coldly and turned to look at Ye Feng.
“Huh? What?”
Almost simultaneously, Ye Feng’s expression changed. He felt his right arm disobeying him, tightening its grip on the Tang Dao and swinging it towards Xiao Xiao beside him.
