"Buzz!"
"Bang! Crack crack crack~!"
"Clatter!"
The spatial power ropes binding Ye Feng were instantly shattered by a dig from Miao Dao's hoe.
"What the hell?"
Ye Feng was greatly surprised, but surprise aside, he seized this opening, his figure flashing as he moved from his spot, bringing Miao Feng along with him. This was because Ye Feng noticed that after Miao Feng wielded the hoe to help him break free, his face had turned extremely pale, sweat pouring down like rain, and the man was utterly exhausted, plummeting straight down from the sky...
"Clang! Clang!"
"Whoosh! Boom! ~"
"Bang!"
After a brief exchange between Qiao Ying and Xikela, they both retreated. Qiao Ying quickly ran to Ye Feng, who had fallen to the ground, "Ye Feng, are you alright?"
Qiao Ying's expression was filled with concern, as Ye Feng looked like a bloodied mess.
"I'm fine, that was close!"
Ye Feng shook his head slightly towards Qiao Ying, then looked at Miao Feng, feeling somewhat perplexed. After all, Miao Feng had been on Xikela's side before, but he had just saved himself, and the hoe in his hand could actually break through the spatial power ropes created by Ilyas...
"A... divine artifact?"
After observing for a while, Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim. This was because he noticed the fluctuations emanating from the hoe in Miao Feng's hand, fluctuations he had felt before when he fought the Spear of War in the ancient ruins and against Tu Kui.
"De... Demeter?"
Qiao Ying's surprised voice followed suit. She recognized the hoe emitting strange fluctuations in Miao Feng's hand as belonging to Demeter, one of the twelve main gods.
"Yes... yes!"
Miao Feng managed to catch his breath slightly from his rapid breathing, but his face remained as pale as paper.
"This hoe was given to me years ago by an old man named Demeter when I was tilling a field, he said it was a divine artifact... I didn't expect it to be useful today..."
"But... but this power... I... I can only use it once..."
Miao Feng explained breathlessly to Ye Feng and Qiao Ying.
...
In the distance,
"Lin, we can't help at all in this level of battle. Going there would only be a burden!"
"Let's explore other parts of the Adventurer's Guild. Many people from the Zeng, Huang, and Lu families are taking advantage of this opportunity to rebel within the city, burning and looting everywhere!"
Old Man Liu put down the binoculars he was using to observe the situation of Ye Feng and the others, then looked at Wu Ye Lin, Miao Dao, and Xiao Xiao.
Wu Ye Lin frowned slightly, glancing at Lei Jian, who had just been dug out from the rubble and was now unconscious and seriously injured, then looked at Xiao Xiao with a questioning gaze.
"Sister Lin, I'll stay. I can team up with Sister Qiao Ying to deal with that monster named Xikela!"
Xiao Xiao had also seen Ye Feng's tragic state just now and naturally didn't want to leave.
"Alright! We also need someone to relay information promptly!"
Wu Ye Lin agreed, and Old Man Liu and Miao Dao also nodded. After all, Xiao Xiao was an angel, and their previous cooperation with Qiao Ying was evident to them.
"Okay!"
Soon, Wu Ye Lin, Old Man Liu, and Miao Dao departed, while Xiao Xiao quietly and quickly approached Ye Feng.
...
On Ye Feng's side,
"Lord... Lord Ilyas, Miao Dao has betrayed us... and... and the hoe in his hand seems to be... Demeter's divine artifact, the hoe..."
Xikela looked at Miao Dao, who was some distance away, with disbelief.
Ilyas's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he was also very confused. He couldn't understand why Miao Feng had the divine artifact of Demeter, one of the twelve main gods, and even used it to help Ye Feng...
"Ye Feng, you..."
Qiao Ying frowned as she saw Ye Feng gripping his Tang blade and taking a step towards Ilyas.
"Qiao Ying, you take Miao Feng and leave first... I'll deal with Ilyas!"
Under Qiao Ying's gaze, Ye Feng spoke slowly.
"Mm!"
Qiao Ying was about to say something when she suddenly turned her head to look in a certain direction, then nodded quickly, picked up Miao Feng, and left.
"Whoosh!"
After Qiao Ying left with Miao Feng, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, his Tang blade in hand, and he charged fiercely towards Ilyas.
"Hmph!"
Ilyas snorted coldly, not dodging or evading, and engaged Ye Feng with his hooked red blade.
"Clang! Clang~!"
"Buzz! Zzzt!"
"Clatter! Crack! Boom!"
The sounds of clashing metal, tearing spatial distortions, and impacts continuously rang out. As Ye Feng and Ilyas fought, Ye Feng's mastery of spatial power grew more proficient. At first, he would still make mistakes, stepping on empty air and falling, being wounded by Ilyas's spatial blades and hooked red blade. But later, he rarely made such errors, even managing to attempt to condense his own spatial power barrier, though it proved useless against Ilyas...
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Ye Feng stomped hard on empty space, turning sharply, and slashed at Ilyas's neck from an extremely tricky angle.
"Clang! Buzz!"
Ye Feng's Tang blade moved with incredible speed, and in an instant, it struck the spatial power barrier around the back of Ilyas's neck. The space at the blade's edge distorted slightly, shattering the spatial power barrier on Ilyas's neck. That peculiar true energy had already penetrated the spatial power barrier, heading straight for Ilyas's neck...
"Buzz!"
Just as the slash formed by Ye Feng's peculiar true energy was about to strike Ilyas's neck, the sun totem on Ilyas's forehead suddenly emitted a crimson-yellow light.
"Bang!"
"Zzzt!"
The next second, Ilyas's entire body was covered in armor formed by crimson-yellow light. Ye Feng's peculiar true energy slash struck the crimson-yellow armor, immediately rebounding. Ye Feng's left shoulder erupted in a spray of blood, and he was sent flying backward with a violent jolt...
"Foolish human!"
Ilyas snorted coldly, turned around, and looked at Ye Feng with a mocking and disdainful gaze, "You've comprehended some rudimentary spatial power and truly think you can compare to divine power?"
As he finished speaking, Ilyas once again gripped his hooked red blade and charged towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng's expression was grim as he met the attack with his Tang blade.
"Clang! Boom!"
"Zzzt! Clang!"
"Boom! Whoosh! Clang!"
After a series of intense combat sounds, Ye Feng, using the rebound from the opponent's armor, leaped away rapidly. Ye Feng was now covered in wounds, but most of them were not inflicted by Ilyas. They were mostly caused by his own true energy being reflected back by the crimson-yellow light armor on Ilyas...
"The armor on this guy can reflect one's arcane energy and true energy... It's very similar to the 'Retaliation' armor that Ark, who was beside Yuan Ling, possessed during the Goblin Kingdom..."
"Moreover, not only are the abilities similar, but the appearance is almost identical... although Ark's armor was physical, Ilyas's is composed of crimson light..."
Ye Feng stared intently at Ilyas, who was not far ahead, and thought rapidly, "Is Ilyas's crimson-yellow armor related to the sun totem in the center of his forehead...?"
"Kid, this is the God of War Ares's Retaliation Divine Armor!"
Before Ilyas could finish speaking, his figure had already appeared behind Ye Feng, and blades formed from spatial power and his hooked red blade slashed rapidly at Ye Feng.
