"Clang!"
A faint metallic sound rang out. The needle of Wu Ye Lin's syringe had broken.
Ye Feng's physique had long since surpassed that of ordinary people. When he didn't intentionally control it, his body was in a state of automatic defense, which naturally blocked the needle. Coupled with Wu Ye Lin's force, the syringe needle snapped instantly...
"Damn it!"
Wu Ye Lin was speechless. Just as she was about to change to a new needle, Ye Feng reached out and stopped her.
"I'm fine!" Ye Feng didn't speak, but mouthed the words to Wu Ye Lin. Wu Ye Lin, after her surprise, immediately understood and put the antidote back into her space rift bracelet.
"Wu Ye Lan's strength is already half a step into the Epic realm. The energy-devouring paralysis poison probably won't have much effect... And Wu Ye Lin also has an antidote for the energy-devouring paralysis poison... Did these two prepare for this long ago?"
Looking at Wu Ye Lin beside him, and then at Wu Ye Lan in the distance, who was confronting Xikela with a three-pointed, double-edged saber and hadn't rushed over, Ye Feng began to understand.
On the other side,
"Xiao Xiao, calm down, Ye Feng is fine!"
As Qiao Ying fell, Xiao Xiao went to pull her up. Qiao Ying used the momentum to pull Xiao Xiao into a collapsed, damaged cement house. As soon as they entered the concrete ruins, she spoke to Xiao Xiao in a low, rapid voice.
"Sister Qiao Ying, you're okay too!"
Xiao Xiao, after her surprise, also reacted. She frowned slightly, "I don't think... I'm okay either!"
"Mm!"
Qiao Ying nodded. "My angel power just now cleared the energy-devouring paralysis poison. Ye Feng's fall just now was probably intentional!"
"Xiao Xiao, don't use your Angel Blade and Angel Power so easily. Only Xikela has appeared so far. The divine envoy Elias that Wu Ye Lan mentioned earlier hasn't shown up. It's better to keep some trump cards for combat!"
Qiao Ying spoke quickly in a low voice to Xiao Xiao while vigilantly observing the outside.
"Kid, pay for my grandson's life!"
As soon as Qiao Ying finished speaking, an enraged voice echoed through the demon forest. Huang Renxin had swiftly appeared at the spot where Ye Feng had fallen and threw a handful of talismans at Ye Feng.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble!~"
The talismans shot towards Ye Feng. With a flash of red light, the area where Ye Feng and Wu Ye Lin were instantly turned into a sea of fire.
"Whoosh! Splash!~ Splash!"
A sound of water erupted. It was Wu Ye Lin unleashing a water wall, blocking the flames and shockwaves from the talisman explosion.
"Sizzle~ Hiss!~"
"Phew!~ Boom!"
Amidst a large amount of steam and flames, Wu Ye Lin, holding Ye Feng at her waist with her left hand, leaped out. Simultaneously, she swung her sword with her right hand, unleashing several water-rippling slashes at Huang Renxin.
"Hmph!"
Huang Renxin snorted coldly, not dodging. He wielded a long halberd inscribed with numerous runes and topped with a six-sided mirror, and swung it towards Wu Ye Lin.
"Whoosh! Sizzle sizzle!"
Wu Ye Lin's water-elemental arcane energy slashes struck Huang Renxin in moments, but they were neutralized by the strange absorption formation on his body.
Almost simultaneously, Huang Renxin's rune-inscribed halberd slashed through the air towards Wu Ye Lin.
"Boom!~ Boom!"
A massive flame saber instantly appeared, slashing towards Wu Ye Lin, who was holding Ye Feng. A collapsed tall building was reduced to dust in mere breaths.
The demon forest created by Zeng Jing was also burned, but it quickly regrew with a flash of green light, becoming even denser...
In Wu Ye Lin's hasty dodge, combined with holding the seemingly unconscious Ye Feng at her waist with her left hand, she couldn't completely evade the giant flame saber unleashed by Huang Renxin's halberd. Her left shoulder was struck by the flames, instantly creating a scorched wound.
The shockwave of the flames also sent Wu Ye Lin flying, causing her to slam heavily into a large tree. Wu Ye Lin grunted, and her left hand failed to hold onto Ye Feng. Ye Feng plummeted straight down...
"Oh ho, another Grade Seven Gold experimental subject!"
Lu Yi, directly below Ye Feng's falling path, sneered coldly. He extended his right hand, which instantly transformed into a silver-ringed snake, its tongue flicking as it lunged towards Ye Feng.
At this very moment, Ye Feng, who was in freefall, suddenly stomped on a nearby tree trunk.
"Bounce!"
Ye Feng's kick was incredibly powerful. With a single stomp, the tree trunk disintegrated.
In the next second, Ye Feng's figure was already in front of Lu Yi. The sharp mithril long saber in his hand flashed, and he slashed across Lu Yi's chest.
"Whoosh! Squelch!"
Lu Yi's chest spurted a stream of blood. His upper body had been split in two.
"That brat isn't poisoned?"
"Bang bang!"
Zeng Ji's surprised voice rang out. At the same time, he fired his arcane energy sniper rifle at Ye Feng, but Ye Feng dodged them all.
After a few leaps, Ye Feng arrived beside Wu Ye Lin. This was something they had agreed upon earlier, except for the part where Wu Ye Lin was genuinely injured...
"Are you okay?"
Ye Feng looked at the scorched wound on Wu Ye Lin's left shoulder and frowned slightly.
"I'm fine!"
Wu Ye Lin shook her head. "My water-elemental arcane energy can heal quickly..."
"Whoosh~ Sizzle sizzle!~"
Before Wu Ye Lin could finish speaking, vines with abundant green light surged from behind her and began to entwine her.
She immediately unleashed several water-rippling slashes. Although they severed some vines, more were absorbed by those vines.
After absorbing Wu Ye Lin's arcane energy attacks, the vines' green light intensified, and their numbers and speed increased...
"Let's go!"
Ye Feng's mithril long saber sliced rapidly, cutting through a pile of vines before he pulled Wu Ye Lin and leaped away.
"Lin, the vines and branches in this demon forest are very strange. They absorb arcane energy. Try not to use arcane energy if possible!"
Arriving on a broken concrete pillar, Ye Feng said to Wu Ye Lin.
"Sorry... that was my instinctive reaction!"
Wu Ye Lin's expression was grim. "Ye Feng, you seem very accustomed to fighting without using arcane energy!"
"Mm!"
Ye Feng looked at Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying, who were fighting Huang Zhi Kun in the distance, and nodded. "I awakened my arcane energy quite late, and I don't rely on it much!"
Then, he looked at Wu Ye Lin. "Lin, you and your grandfather must have a plan, right?"
Hearing this, Wu Ye Lin frowned. She glanced at Wu Ye Lan, who was still confronting Xikela in the distance, then took out a cylindrical object from her spatial ring. With several leaps, she reached the top of the demon forest and pulled a rope attached to the bottom of the cylinder.
"Chirp!"
After a sharp sound, a "boom!" sounded in the air, and a ball of red flame erupted.
"A flare to summon reinforcements?"
Seeing this, Ye Feng seemed to understand. The next moment, his expression changed.
Because he saw a figure appear abruptly behind Wu Ye Lin. Then, two silver-ringed snakes, which he had just seen, opened their mouths wide and lunged rapidly towards Wu Ye Lin...
...
