"Da da da!~"
A series of rapid gunshots rang out as Ye Feng's AK47 opened fire.
The two silver-ringed snakes attempting to ambush Wu Yelan were instantly obliterated. The figure behind Wu Yeren was shot in the head and heart, but instead of falling, it lunged forward, towards Wu Yeren.
"Whoosh! Zzing!"
At this moment, Wu Yeren reacted, her long sword slashing behind her as she leaped away from her spot.
"Lu Yi?"
Ye Feng was stunned when he recognized the figure attempting to ambush Wu Yeren, for it was Lu Yi, whom he had just cleaved in two from chest to shoulder.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng's heart lurched as a sense of danger appeared abruptly behind him.
"Ye Feng, watch out behind you!"
Almost simultaneously, Wu Yeren's urgent voice sounded.
Ye Feng spun around abruptly to find another Lu Yi standing behind him. The opponent's mouth was split open, revealing a gaping maw from which numerous red tentacles sprayed out towards him.
"Da da da!"
In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng pulled the trigger of his AK47, emptying an entire magazine into Lu Yi's bloody mouth…
"Click~ Click!"
"Da da da!"
As Ye Feng sidestepped, he reloaded his AK47 and opened fire on Lu Yi again.
"Nen, what kind of ghost is this Lu Yi? I clearly cut him in half earlier…"
"Now there isn't just one, but two Lu Yis? And his heart and head are riddled with bullets, yet he's still alive!"
Ye Feng approached Wu Yeren, looking perplexedly at the two Lu Yis not far away.
"Ye Feng, I heard Grandpa mention that Lu Yi injected a serum derived from an ancient bacterium called 'Ji'. The abilities he displayed before were all potent toxins, many of which I'd never even heard of…"
"Now it seems those were just part of the 'Ji' serum's capabilities. This ability to survive being cut in half, or even shot in the heart and head, is likely another one… and the appearance of two Lu Yis is probably also part of it!"
Wu Yeren frowned, quickly explaining to Ye Feng.
"This is troublesome. How can this guy be killed?"
Ye Feng finished another magazine on Lu Yi and muttered.
He had observed that Lu Yi was the easiest opponent among the present group. Lu Yi's strength was only Gold Rank 6, as he had previously understood. Zeng Ji and Huang Zhikun were already Gold Rank 8.
Zeng Ji, in particular, wielded an arcane energy sniper rifle, clearly specializing in long-range attacks. As for Zeng Jing, Huang Renxin, and Miao Feng, they were all Diamond-level experts…
Thus, Ye Feng had planned to use a small trick to deal with the weakest one, Lu Yi, first. His attack had indeed succeeded, but Lu Yi hadn't died…
"You two little brats, pay with your lives for my grandson!"
At this moment, Huang Renxin's enraged voice interrupted Ye Feng's thoughts.
"Swish swish swish!~"
Following closely, a series of dense whistling sounds filled the air as Huang Renxin again swung his rune-etched halberd, unleashing a torrent of fine metal needles like a rainstorm towards Ye Feng and Wu Yeren.
"Chirr chirr chirr!"
"Clang clang! Clink-clang!"
Ye Feng and Wu Yeren blocked and dodged with their swords and blades. The rain-like metal spikes instantly turned the trees behind them into sieves.
"Nen, be careful!"
Ye Feng exclaimed, as the wind accompanying the metal needles carried wind-attribute arcane energy.
"Chirr chirr chirr! Zzzz!~"
"Swish~ Crackle! Whoosh!"
The incomparably sharp wind-attribute arcane energy grazed Ye Feng and Wu Yeren. Ye Feng's clothes were instantly tattered, with many places showing red bloodstains. His AK47 and Mithril longsword also broke into several pieces.
Wu Yeren summoned a water wall of arcane energy to defend herself, but it was almost instantly sliced through by the wind blades. As the wind blades were about to slash her neck, at this critical moment, Ye Feng stomped the ground, his body turning into an afterimage as he pulled Wu Yeren aside, narrowly evading Huang Renxin's wind blades…
"Not good!"
As Ye Feng pulled Wu Yeren to the side, he leaped, but before landing, his expression changed as blinding flames erupted from where the metal needles had struck.
"Boom boom boom!~"
"Rumble!~ Rumble! Boom!"
A deafening explosion sounded in an instant, engulfing Ye Feng and Wu Yeren in flames.
"Damn, fire-attribute arcane energy… Huang Renxin's attack just now simultaneously contained metal, wind, and fire arcane energy, and the attacks were sequential…"
Inside the water sphere shield created by Wu Yeren, Ye Feng looked solemn.
"Pfft~ Whoosh!"
At this moment, a mass of vines crawled onto Wu Yeren's water sphere shield. With a flash of green light, the arcane energy was absorbed, and the water sphere instantly thinned, breaking apart the next second.
However, Ye Feng and Wu Yeren were prepared and jumped out. But in mid-air, several black water arrows shot up from below, sprayed from Lu Yi's mouth.
"Holy crap!"
Ye Feng yelped, forced to create a water rope of arcane energy, which he used to swing onto a nearby tree branch, pulling Wu Yeren to safety.
"Little brats, pay with your lives for my grandson!"
At this moment, Huang Renxin's furious voice sounded again.
"Boom! Clang!"
"Swish~ Skrrash! Clink clink clink!"
"Zzzz~ Rumble! Whoosh!~"
Huang Renxin, wielding his rune-etched halberd, relentlessly attacked Ye Feng and Wu Yeren. Flames erupted throughout the demonic forest, with entire patches of vines and trees being chopped down and falling, the result of Huang Renxin's attacks.
However, the arcane energy flames quickly extinguished, and the vines and trees recovered at a visible rate, growing even denser…
Seeing this, Zeng Jing, who was observing from a distance, wore a sinister smile…
"Boom!~ Clink!"
"Rumble~ Clang!"
After another exchange, Ye Feng retreated rapidly with Wu Yeren to a large rock, warily watching Huang Renxin, whose eyes were blood-red and filled with hatred, not far ahead.
"Nen… this Huang Renxin is the grandfather of those three guys, Huang Heshang. Huang Zhikun is the father of Huang Heshang, right…"
"Huang Zhikun didn't seem to harbor much animosity towards us, nor did he attack us. Instead, this Huang Renxin is impatient to kill us…"
"This feels more like Huang Renxin is the father of those three guys!"
Looking at Huang Renxin, whose face was contorted with rage and hatred, Ye Feng spoke with great perplexity.
