The man in leather pants, a giant, sealed off Ye Feng's potential escape routes with his massive hands. Golden light flashed on his palms, and in an instant, countless spikes and blades forged from condensed gold-attribute arcane energy appeared.
"Bang! ~ Clang clang clang! ~"
A dull clapping sound instantly echoed, accompanied by the sharp ringing of metal being cut.
"Big brother!"
Xiao Xiao, who had just emerged from the dark shadows, cried out in surprise upon seeing this.
"Whoosh~ Clang! Keng keng~"
The blade energy of the Tang dao in Ye Feng's hand flashed incessantly, emitting piercing sounds of air being cut and metallic clangs.
"Chirp~ Puff~!"
"Puff~ Hiss~"
This was followed by the sounds of several more cuts and spurts of blood, as Ye Feng had severed the wrists of the giant in leather pants and also cut off his legs at the knees.
"Ugh~ Ah! ~"
"Bang! Thud~"
The giant in leather pants let out a piercing scream as his enormous body toppled backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Xiao Xiao, are you alright? What just happened?"
Having finished, Ye Feng quickly jumped to Xiao Xiao's side, asking with concern.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao was not only holding the Angel Blade 'Royal Decree' but was also fully clad in Angel Armor.
Her face was pale, and she was breathing somewhat heavily. Her hand holding the Angel Blade trembled, as if she had just endured an extremely taxing battle.
"Big brother, I.... I think that guy dragged me into the shadows just now..."
"It was a world without light, filled with darkness... I called out to you a few times, but there was no response... I was very scared... so I took out the Angel Blade..."
As she spoke, Xiao Xiao pointed to the large, dark figure lying lifeless on the ground beside them.
"That guy... the Black Ghost's ability?"
Ye Feng followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and frowned.
"Yes! It was him!"
Xiao Xiao nodded and continued, "I was terrified then... Strangely, after I took out this Angel Blade, the Angel Armor in the Space Rift Bracelet seemed to sense something and came out to wear itself on me!"
"That... Black... Black Ghost, he turns into a giant ghastly face in the darkness, I... with the Angel Blade, I swung with all my might... I think I heard him scream..."
"Then the Black Ghost's figure disappeared... I tried to cut through the surrounding darkness with the Angel Blade... and then I appeared here..."
By the end of her explanation, Xiao Xiao looked down at the shadow beneath her feet. "I seem to have come out from the shadow!"
"I see..."
Ye Feng watched as the power of angels flowed through the Angel Blade and Angel Armor, and he frowned slightly. "This Angel Blade called 'Royal Decree' seems rather special, and it has some connection with the Angel Armor?"
Immediately, Ye Feng crouched down to examine the Black Ghost on the ground again, confirming that the opponent was dead.
At this moment, he was quite surprised by Xiao Xiao's strength and also felt a surge of fear!
After all, even he wouldn't know what to do if he were dragged into a shadow...
"Xiao Xiao, sit down and eat something, drink some water, and rest. I'll handle the scene!"
After a moment of thought, Ye Feng settled Xiao Xiao in a shady spot.
However, perhaps due to being dragged into the shadows earlier, Xiao Xiao didn't want to sit in a shaded area, preferring to sit in the bright sunlight without even an umbrella.
Seeing this, Ye Feng let her be.
The next second, Ye Feng walked to the edge of the rooftop and jumped down.
"Ah! ~"
A moment later, a pig-slaughtering scream echoed from below. It wasn't Ye Feng, but the crooked-mouthed man in leather pants.
When the giant transformed from the man in leather pants had fallen backward onto the ground, his true self had secretly slipped out from the back of his head. Taking advantage of the impact of the giant's fall, he had stealthily escaped to the floors below.
Ye Feng had naturally noticed this, but at the time, his attention was focused on Xiao Xiao, so he didn't deal with it...
"Ah! ~ Crack~ ! Crack~"
In less than a minute, the thin, crooked-mouthed man in leather pants reappeared in Shen Yun Yao's field of vision.
His face was very pale, his forehead beaded with sweat the size of beans, and he looked distressed. His limbs were twisted at an odd angle...
"You... what are you going to do to me?"
Seeing Ye Feng approaching with a syringe, the thin, crooked-mouthed man in leather pants screamed in terror.
"What am I going to do? This is what that guy with the gold-rimmed glasses wanted to do to me just now!"
Ye Feng smiled coldly and directly inserted the syringe into the crooked-mouthed man's carotid artery, injecting the liquid within.
The syringe Ye Feng held was the one the man with the gold-rimmed glasses had tried to inject into his carotid artery when he had transformed into Xiao Xiao's appearance, but Ye Feng had discovered it and twisted his hand.
The moment the syringe fell, Ye Feng caught it...
"Ah! Ah! ~ Ugh ah~"
The crooked-mouthed man in leather pants screamed and struggled on the ground. In a short while, he lay on the ground, gasping for breath, his face withered.
"Huh?"
Ye Feng was quite surprised.
Because after being injected with that vial of medicine, the arcane energy fluctuations on the crooked-mouthed man in leather pants had disappeared...
"Ye Feng, that... that might be Arcane Poison... a special liquid that, once injected into the body, prevents the user from using arcane energy for up to five hours!"
At this moment, Shen Yun Yao's voice sounded. She also looked surprised. "This thing... even in the City of Arcane Arts, not many people have it!"
"Unable to use arcane energy? 5 hours!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but recall the time in the Dune Sea, when those explorers who had been injected with strange potions by Mei You and Bi Mao, including one named Qiqudan.
At that time, after being injected, they were unable to use arcane energy for 5 hours and were almost eaten by a pack of hyenas...
"Arcane Poison?"
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and searched the crooked-mouthed man in leather pants on the ground. He indeed found another syringe filled with medicine.
"Yun Yao!"
As soon as Ye Feng spoke, Shen Yun Yao understood. She controlled the arcane energy water sphere, exposing the neck of the man with the gold-rimmed glasses.
"Bang! ~"
Just as the man with the gold-rimmed glasses' neck was about to rupture and turn into a slug, Ye Feng, who had turned around and walked up to him, landed a punch.
Seeing this, Shen Yun Yao quickly shrunk the opening of the water sphere. Ye Feng didn't hesitate and injected the medicine he had found on the crooked-mouthed man in leather pants.
"Ugh ah! ~"
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses immediately struggled, his expression extremely pained, causing the arcane energy water sphere to distort.
In a short while, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses stopped struggling, and the arcane energy fluctuations on his body rapidly receded.
Seeing this, Shen Yun Yao gradually withdrew the water sphere.
After all, maintaining an arcane energy water sphere to restrain a Golden Rank expert, even with the enhancement of the arcane formation, had left her quite exhausted!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a dazzling red light appeared from within the chest of the man with the gold-rimmed glasses, who had been on the verge of death and had a withered appearance. Immediately after, a powerful pressure erupted from his body.
The fire-attribute arcane energy in his body surged, and the pressure he emitted rapidly increased...
