The Cerberus's huge claws tapped leisurely, causing ripples in the air. Space twisted and even showed fine cracks, as if it couldn't bear its striking and was about to shatter.
Throughout the process, the Cerberus watched Ye Feng with a relaxed and pleasant expression, completely disregarding him.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the Cerberus's expression changed. Its two heads, which had been looking elsewhere, turned back, their four blood-red eyes fixed on Ye Feng.
To be precise, the Cerberus was staring at the ancient Tang dao in Ye Feng's hand.
"That... that saber... could it be...?"
The Cerberus's three massive mouths opened, revealing extremely sharp teeth, which looked terrifying, but the voice that emerged was filled with fear.
At this moment, the Cerberus's four blood-red eyes were wide open, even showing bloodshot veins, filled with terror...
"That saber... the fluctuation emanating from you, kid..."
"Ah~ Save me!"
The Cerberus, who had been extremely arrogant and completely disregarded Ye Feng and the others, suddenly let out a strange cry, as if remembering something. Filled with fear, it turned its head and fled directly in one direction.
"Save... save me... save me..."
"That saber... Lord Hades... that... that person is still alive..."
"Save me!"
The Cerberus madly fled through the air, screaming in terror.
The Cerberus ran extremely fast, soon putting a significant distance between itself and Ye Feng.
"Urgh~!"
At this moment, a wave of power surged through Ye Feng, making him unsteady and almost fall.
Watching the Cerberus flee rapidly, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. He gripped the Tang dao, then slowly closed his eyes, recalling the scene of the old man in plain clothes waving a branch under the ginkgo tree.
For the first time, Ye Feng watched the old man's movements so clearly, as if the old man were right in front of him.
Instinctively, he gripped the Tang dao in his hand, slowly raised it, and instantly, the myriad stars in the sky seemed to sense something. Strands of starlight descended from above, absorbed by the Tang dao...
"Starlight... It must be... That saber is..."
"Boom~!"
"Sizzle~ Crackle~ Crackle~!"
Seeing this, the Cerberus gritted its teeth. Its massive body flashed with red light, which quickly moved to its outstretched claws. It fiercely grabbed at the sky in front of it.
With this grab, the space in front of the Cerberus exploded with a bang. Cracks appeared in the space, followed by a series of sounds like shattering glass. The sky seemed to rip open, revealing utter darkness.
After the space shattered, the Cerberus's face lit up with joy, and it prepared to drill into it.
Just then, the Tang dao in Ye Feng's hand made a slicing motion towards the Cerberus.
"Whoosh!~"
A faint sound of breaking air was heard. As Ye Feng swung the Tang dao, a flash of white light flickered, and a slash as if carrying countless stars shot towards the Cerberus.
The Cerberus was running extremely fast, already far from Ye Feng, yet the slash Ye Feng unleashed seemed to traverse space, instantly appearing behind the Cerberus and piercing through it.
"Hades... Lord..."
The Cerberus's low groan faded, and it fell silent. Its massive body split in two and rapidly descended, crashing heavily onto the ground, creating a large pit.
"What the...!"
After accomplishing all this, Ye Feng didn't have time to celebrate before his body swayed and he began to fall.
This was because he felt the power within the Tang dao rapidly receding, and an immense fatigue washed over him from all parts of his body.
"Bang~ Puff!~"
"Boom!~"
After the mysterious power within the Tang dao dissipated, Ye Feng could no longer stand in mid-air. He stumbled and fell downwards. The space rippled as he tried to step on it to stop himself.
Initially, Ye Feng could stop himself once or twice by stepping on the air. But later, no matter how hard his legs pushed, his body simply fell.
"Bang~ Crackle~ Rumble~~"
"Boom~ Bang Bang!~"
Finally, Ye Feng fell into a pile of ruins, making a series of clattering sounds.
A short distance from where Ye Feng had been, Xiao Xiao, Shen Potian, and Shen Yunyao were still stunned by the brilliance of Ye Feng's star-filled saber strike, and hadn't even reacted.
"Whoosh~ Sizzle~!"
"Hoo~ Rumble!~"
Just then, a large fireball and many small lightning orbs attacked the three of them. It was Wang Batian making his move.
"Sizzle~!"
"Bang~ Rumble!~"
The lightning orbs shot by Wang Batian contained his own flesh and blood. As the three of them just managed to deflect the lightning orbs, they were met with the self-destruction of Wang Batian's body parts.
Wang Batian didn't even glance at the three of them trapped in the sea of fire and lightning. A light flashed in his hand, and a yellowish mech instantly appeared.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Batian jumped into the mech. The mech flashed with light and flew into the distant sky at extreme speed...
"Not good, it's a Grade 3 Xuan-tier flying mech, Wang Batian is running!"
Shen Yunyao's anxious voice echoed from within the fire and lightning.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Batian, piloting the mech, had already flown a considerable distance, and was about to disappear from their sight.
"Cough cough!~"
"Too far, in my current condition, I can't catch up..."
Shen Potian's suppressed and anxious voice came from the fire and lightning.
"Can you throw this at that guy?!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's voice sounded.
Apparently, she had produced a large black lump in her hand and was fiddling with it. It was the modified fire seed that Ye Feng had prepared for her, in case of emergencies.
"I'll do it!"
Shen Potian grunted and took the modified fire seed from Xiao Xiao's hand. A green light flashed, and he threw it forcefully towards Wang Batian, who was now almost a black dot in the distance.
The modified fire seed thrown by Shen Potian moved at an incredible speed, rapidly chasing after Wang Batian, who was piloting the flying mech. It quickly reached a point not too far from Wang Batian, but it began to lose momentum and couldn't keep up, gradually widening the gap.
"Hmph! Just you wait!"
Wang Batian snorted as he looked back and saw this. He looked towards Shen Potian, Xiao Xiao, and Shen Yunyao with a look of malice and triumph.
Just as Wang Batian thought he could escape and would bring people back for revenge, the modified fire seed, altered by Ye Feng, suddenly erupted with blinding light from within.
"Bang!~"
"Rumble!~"
A massive burst of blinding light instantly exploded, re-illuminating the evening sky, as if the sun had reappeared.
Immediately following, a deafening explosion resounded through the heavens.
Scorching flames instantly engulfed Wang Batian. His mech rapidly disintegrated, and his body turned to dust in the dazzling light...
"Hoo~ Hoo!~" See here!
The shockwave from the explosion swept outwards. Within a few breaths, it reached the location of the three of them, instantly scattering the flames that had trapped them.
The three of them, also affected by the shockwave, stumbled. Shen Potian, who had just taken a blast of lightning orbs for Xiao Xiao and Shen Yunyao, fell straight down...
"Bang!~ Boom!~"
"Sizzle~ Crack!~"
"Bang Bang!~"
The three of them crashed heavily onto the ground, tumbling and colliding. Dust kicked up from the surrounding ruins before they finally stopped.
The light from the fire seed explosion and the raging flames raged in the sky for a while before gradually subsiding.
"Urgh! Ah!~"
Xiao Xiao, Shen Yunyao, and Shen Potian finally let out a sigh of relief, only to suddenly hear Ye Feng's piercing scream.
