"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng's brows furrowed deeply, as the figures emerging from the bulging trees of the demon forest all possessed fluctuations of spatial energy.
"Ye Feng, my angel power has recovered a lot, and I can penetrate spatial energy barriers. But the number of opponents... and Iliyas, who hasn't shown up yet..."
Qiao Ying's expression was extremely serious, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Ye Feng frowned slightly and whispered to Qiao Ying, "Be careful. I'll take care of Zeng Jing first!"
Without waiting for Xiao Xiao or Qiao Ying to respond, Ye Feng, wielding his metal tungsten rod, charged towards Huang Renxin, who had recovered a good amount of energy and was attempting to flank and sneak attack Liu Lao Tou and the others.
True energy surged within Ye Feng's tungsten rod as he swung it at Huang Renxin's head with extreme speed.
"Hmph! Seeking death!"
"It's time to avenge my three sons!"
Huang Renxin snorted coldly, redirected his Mirror Demon Halberd, and met Ye Feng's tungsten rod head-on.
"What?"
Ye Feng felt the mirror at the tip of Huang Renxin's Mirror Demon Halberd flash, and then a tungsten rod also appeared, striking towards him, also surging with true energy.
"Clang! Bang!!"
A dull metallic impact resounded instantly, true energy erupted, and a fierce wave of air swept out. Ye Feng was directly repelled, sent flying backward.
"Boom! ~ Crash! ~"
Ye Feng's body smashed through several large rocks and tumbled. Xiao Xiao's face showed a hint of worry, but she did not act, her gaze fixed on the figures emerging from the demon forest in the distance...
"Ding! Clang!"
A not-so-loud impact sound echoed. A box fell from Ye Feng's arms – it was the Seven-Star Concealment Cage containing the Enhancement Fruit.
As the Seven-Star Concealment Cage fell, a unique red light immediately emanated from within.
"Damn it, the Enhancement Fruit!"
Ye Feng yelped and rushed forward to pick up the Seven-Star Concealment Cage. However, by now, both Zeng Jing and Huang Renxin had noticed the box, as had Sikla in the distance.
The space around Sikla rippled, indicating an attempt to move, but he was intercepted by Wu Ye Lan.
"Go! Bring back the Enhancement Fruit!"
Sikla's voice carried from afar.
Upon hearing this, Zeng Jing and Huang Renxin moved almost simultaneously. Zeng Jing directly abandoned his fight with Liu Lao Tou and the others and rushed towards Ye Feng.
As Huang Renxin was about to make a move, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face paling considerably...
"Earlier, Wu Ye Lan's extremely forceful method of defeating Huang Renxin's Mirror Demon clone had indeed severely injured him..."
"And the attack he just unleashed using the Mirror Demon Halberd, an attack almost identical to his own, seemed to have put a significant strain on him as well!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng speculated internally. Otherwise, with Huang Renxin's Diamond Rank Six cultivation, dealing with Golden Rank Liu Lao Tou wouldn't require a sneak attack.
Of course, it was also possible that this was just Huang Renxin's insidious nature, considering those multiple Mirror Demon clones earlier...
While Ye Feng was analyzing, he had already run quite a distance, with Zeng Jing close behind.
"Kid, you're not escaping!"
Zeng Jing's face was filled with obvious excitement because he had seen the Enhancement Fruit. Although he had only seen an Enhancement Fruit many years ago, he would never forget the unique red light that fruit emanated back then.
In his excitement, Zeng Jing even forgot that his son, Zeng Ji, had been turned to ash by Ye Feng's nuclear bomb earlier. His mind was entirely filled with how Sikla would reward him after obtaining the Enhancement Fruit...
With this thought, Zeng Jing's pursuit speed increased once more!
"That Enhancement Fruit is only half of it... it's the one you obtained twenty years ago, isn't it..."
"The rumors were false. When you attempted to ascend to Epic Rank back then and encountered heavenly tribulation, you only consumed half an Enhancement Fruit... otherwise, you should be an Epic Rank expert by now... were you afraid of dying faster if you consumed the whole fruit..."
Four of Sikla's six eyes were fixed on Ye Feng, whose figure was almost invisible, while the other two eyes were on Wu Ye Lan, who was crackling with lightning in front of him.
"Wu Ye Lan, I must admit, as a human, you are indeed quite exceptional!"
"It's a shame that's all there is!"
Sikla sneered coldly. "Your trump cards... should be those two angels... that half Enhancement Fruit was the reward, wasn't it!"
As he spoke, Sikla glanced at Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying on the ground in the distance, their expressions wary. "The taller woman earlier, although she masked it well, I still detected the unique, nauseating aura of an angel, and now they've even brought out the Angel Blade!"
"This guy!"
Wu Ye Lan offered no reply. He was also shocked by Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying producing the Angel Blade, as Ye Feng hadn't mentioned having two angels by his side.
Of course, Wu Ye Lan was also puzzled why Ye Feng would expose the Enhancement Fruit on himself. He didn't believe that the person who killed the Blood Ancestor, according to Shen Bo Tian, would drop the Enhancement Fruit during that recent blow...
...
Meanwhile,
Ye Feng weaved and dodged, finally arriving at a considerable distance. The area was in chaos, with pits left by various explosions, collapsed buildings everywhere, and raging fires.
Clearly, the Huang family, Zeng family, and others had not only attacked the Wu Ye Explorer Guild building...
"Kid, not running anymore!"
At this moment, Zeng Jing's sinister voice rang out, as he noticed Ye Feng had stopped.
"Whoosh! Bang!"
Ye Feng stomped on the ground forcefully, wielding his tungsten rod, true energy glowing as he rapidly swung it at Zeng Jing.
Zeng Jing's eyes turned cold. He didn't dodge, allowing Ye Feng's tungsten rod to strike him.
"Clang! Hum!"
A dull metallic hum sounded. Ye Feng's tungsten rod struck Zeng Jing squarely on the head, but it caused no harm. Instead, Ye Feng's hand holding the rod went numb, blocked by the spatial energy barrier.
"Swish swish swish!"
The next second, green light flashed from Zeng Jing's body, and numerous vines grew out, coiling towards Ye Feng. The vines were covered with countless sharp blades...
"Clink clink clang! ~"
After exchanging blows with the blades using his tungsten rod, Ye Feng rapidly retreated.
"Don't think you're getting away!"
Seeing Ye Feng charging forward again, Zeng Jing roared and immediately gave chase, as previous experience had taught him that Ye Feng, while not particularly strong, was incredibly fast at escaping.
"Boom! Clang~!"
"Clang ~ Whoosh ~ Boom!"
"Da da da!"
As Ye Feng ran, he fired his gun behind him and threw out bombs and the like, hindering Zeng Jing's pursuit.
After a chase back and forth, the already ruined area became even more chaotic, with smoke billowing everywhere...
"Everyone's fled this place! Perfect!"
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. He stomped on a rock and lunged forward.
At this precise moment, green light flashed from Zeng Jing's body, and he suddenly accelerated, appearing behind Ye Feng in an instant.
Just as the vines on Zeng Jing's body were about to entangle Ye Feng, Ye Feng abruptly turned around, his body flashing with light. The tungsten rod was replaced by a Tang Dao, and the mysterious true energy within him instantly covered the blade as he slashed rapidly towards Zeng Jing.
