"Wh… What?"
"Teleportation?"
Ye Feng's eyes were filled with shock. The Goblin High Priest had been dancing on the altar just a hundred meters away.
But in an instant, it had vanished from its spot and appeared before him!
"Urgh!"
As the thought of confusion surfaced in Ye Feng's mind, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. He had been kicked in the chest by the Goblin High Priest.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Ye Feng was sent flying backward. But before he could land, the Goblin High Priest pursued him, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks.
"Urgh~ Ah!"
Ye Feng felt intense pain all over his body, but he was more surprised.
This was because the Goblin High Priest wasn't using arcane energy or anything similar in its attacks, but purely physical strength.
"I'm actually weaker in physical strength than this Goblin High Priest?!"
A thought that filled him with dread flashed through Ye Feng's mind.
"No!"
Ye Feng quickly negated it, as he could sense a peculiar energy fluctuation emanating from the Goblin High Priest. It seemed this special energy protected it, preventing his attacks from harming it…
"Clang!"
At this moment, the skull staff in the Goblin High Priest's hand flashed red. The base of the staff instantly transformed into a blood-red metal sword, which was about to pierce Ye Feng's chest.
Just then, a familiar purple light appeared again, and Ye Feng's figure vanished from the air, instantly reappearing beside Yuan Ling.
"Clang! Crash! ~"
The Goblin High Priest's blood-red metal sword failed to pierce Ye Feng's chest. Instead, it struck a boulder. With a flash of red light, the boulder disintegrated.
"Yuan Ling… you… your eyes…"
Ye Feng, lying on the ground, instinctively looked at Yuan Ling and was taken aback.
Yuan Ling had removed the black ribbon that had been covering her eyes. She wasn't blind as Ye Feng had previously thought. Instead, her eyes were purple, with faint, star-like glimmers.
Meeting Yuan Ling's gaze, Ye Feng felt as if he were in outer space, witnessing the myriad stars in the galaxy…
Moreover, Yuan Ling's gaze gave him a very peculiar feeling, as if it possessed a mysterious allure…
"Ye Feng, the formation!"
"Fill the runes in the formation with your true energy to activate it!"
Seeing Ye Feng in a daze, Yuan Ling quickly reminded him.
"Oh, right!"
Ye Feng snapped back to reality, realizing this was not the time to ponder the situation with Yuan Ling's eyes. His Tang dao instantly appeared in his hand.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Sizzle! Sizzle! ~"
With a flash of the Tang dao, a group of Goblin Paladins and Goblin Priest Guards surrounding Ye Feng fell to the ground.
As for the corrosive acid from the Goblin Priest Guards, Ye Feng wasn't worried. He had conducted experiments when studying the Tang dao, and it remained unaffected even when immersed in sulfuric acid.
He had also tested it with an ordinary metal knife earlier, and the bodily fluids of the Goblin Priest Guards were similar to sulfuric acid…
"Bang! Crackle~"
"Clang~ Whoosh!"
"Sizzle! ~"
Holding the Tang dao, Ye Feng killed several Goblin Paladins and Goblin Priest Guards with extreme speed. His figure flickered, and he arrived beneath the altar.
"Hmm?"
Before Ye Feng could even steady his footing, his expression changed drastically. A powerful sense of crisis suddenly washed over him.
The next second, Ye Feng's true energy surged, instantly covering the Tang dao. He spun around and slashed backward.
"Bang!"
"Crack! ~"
As Ye Feng turned, an intense pain shot through the wrist of the hand holding the Tang dao. He could even hear the faint sound of bones cracking. The Goblin High Priest's skull staff had struck his wrist.
Immediately after, the Tang dao slipped from Ye Feng's grasp and flew far away!
"This is bad!"
Ye Feng's heart sank.
The thing he had always feared the most had happened: without the Tang dao, how would he fight…
This was why he had diligently trained his body and never used the Tang dao lightly in battles…
"Hmph!"
Ye Feng endured the bone-piercing pain in his wrist. He clenched his fists, his true energy surged, and he struck the Goblin High Priest's chest with all his might.
The Goblin High Priest didn't use its teleportation ability to evade like before, either attacking Ye Feng suddenly or appearing behind him. It simply stood its ground, looking at Ye Feng with disdain.
"Bang bang!"
Two dull thuds echoed instantly. The Goblin High Priest remained unmoved, while the true energy on Ye Feng's fists dissipated.
"Crack crack~ Crackle~"
"Urgh~ Ah! ~"
Ye Feng let out another muffled groan. The immense recoil from those two punches had fractured both his wrists.
"Foolish human, daring to challenge the power of a god!"
At this moment, the Goblin High Priest spoke again, its voice filled with contempt.
"Whoosh! ~"
As the Goblin High Priest finished speaking, its skull staff rapidly struck towards Ye Feng's head. Its speed was so great that it even produced a whistling sound.
"Hum!"
At this moment, Ye Feng once again sensed a purple light flashing, and then his figure disappeared from its spot, instantly reappearing beside Yuan Ling.
"This teleportation… Yuan Ling did it… Is it related to her eyes?"
Ye Feng's earlier guess was confirmed, as he had seen the purple light originating from Yuan Ling's eyes.
"Quack quack~ Quack quack! ~"
The Goblin High Priest's attack missed again. It immediately turned towards Yuan Ling, let out some strange cries, and appeared quite angry.
"What the hell is that thing? Why isn't it speaking human language anymore?"
While Ye Feng was pondering this, two Goblin Paladins swung their swords at him, but their heads were crushed by Ye Feng's true energy-infused feet.
Three Goblin Priest Guards who had ambushed him from behind were impaled by the arcane talismans he unleashed, turning them into ice hedgehogs…
However, Ye Feng felt no joy or relief. He cast his gaze towards the direction where his Tang dao had been knocked away…
The Goblin High Priest seemed to sense Ye Feng's gaze. Its skull staff flashed yellow, and the ground where the Tang dao had fallen began to heave, completely altering the terrain…
"This guy…"
Seeing this, Ye Feng's face darkened as if it were the bottom of a pot.
"Quack quack~ Quack quack~"
At this moment, another group of Goblin Paladins and Goblin Priest Guards charged towards Ye Feng and Yuan Ling.
"Bang! ~ Crackle~!"
"Clang~ Sizzle! Boom! ~"
"Crack crack~"
After a fierce battle, more than a dozen Goblin Paladins and Goblin Priest Guards fell to the ground.
"Yuan Ling, watch out behind you!"
At this moment, Ye Feng shouted urgently.
Without anyone noticing, the Goblin High Priest had appeared behind Yuan Ling. Its skull staff was rapidly smashing towards the back of Yuan Ling's head, and the crimson runes on it were moving eerily.
