"The Blood Ancestor can hide in the void, but when he moves, the power of space leaves ripples in the void, however faint!"
Ye Feng explained to Leng Yue, then turned to face the Blood Ancestor.
In truth, he was also surprised, because while he was staring blankly at the scene in his mind of the old man in plain clothes drawing lines across the sky with a branch, he had actually seen the spatial ripples created by the branch's trajectory…
Recalling this, Ye Feng immediately noticed faint ripples of movement in the surrounding space.
After a moment of confusion, he quickly thought of the Blood Ancestor, who had vanished into the void, leaving him troubled about how to deal with him…
This led to the scene where Ye Feng had acted preemptively to block the Blood Ancestor's sneak attack on Leng Yue.
"Swish! Whoosh!"
At this moment, the Blood Ancestor moved the pair of fleshy wings on his back, and his entire figure once again merged into the void.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
The next second, a crisp metallic impact echoed, accompanied by a shower of red and white sparks. Ye Feng had once again blocked the Blood Ancestor's sneak attack on Ling Xi.
"Clang clang clang!"
Ye Feng didn't stop there. Gripping his Tang saber, the peculiar true energy within him surged, hacking, thrusting, and parrying…
After a series of sharp attacks, Ye Feng forced the Blood Ancestor back. The Blood Ancestor sustained several wounds, though they were all minor.
"Big brother is so amazing!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.
"So… so strong!"
Qiao Ying was also astonished, for the Blood Ancestor was significantly stronger than before, yet he was being suppressed by Ye Feng.
"Damn it!"
"Thump! Whoosh!"
The Blood Ancestor roared and, after a clash with Ye Feng, retreated rapidly. In mid-air, demonic runes surged from his hands as he formed a peculiar seal.
"Buzz!"
A four-sided pyramid formation, composed of spatial energy barriers, instantly appeared around Ye Feng, trapping him within.
The next second, the Blood Ancestor's figure merged into the void once more, disappearing.
"Clang clang!"
Ye Feng tentatively slashed at the barriers twice with his Tang saber but found they couldn't be cut.
"Swish! Whoosh!"
Upon realizing this, Leng Yue frowned. The angelic power within her surged, and she darted rapidly towards Ye Feng, clearly intending to help him break the four-sided pyramid spatial formation.
"Screech!"
Suddenly, a splash of blood erupted from Leng Yue's body. The Blood Ancestor, appearing out of nowhere from the void, had struck her shoulder with a demonic dagger.
Xiao Xiao, Ling Xi, and Qiao Ying all moved forward, but the Blood Ancestor had already vanished back into the void.
"Don't come over!"
Ye Feng roared as Xiao Xiao, Ling Xi, Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying moved towards him.
The four women exchanged confused glances and, following Ye Feng's command, did not rush to his side. Instead, they stood back-to-back, scanning their surroundings with extreme vigilance.
Trapped within the four-sided pyramid spatial formation, Ye Feng remained unperturbed. He didn't continue to hack at the spatial energy barriers with his Tang saber; instead, he closed his eyes.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Ke Leji, who had been staring at Ye Feng, knitted his brows slightly. Meanwhile, "Shen Botian" and Yue Miao, who had been wary of Ke Leji, also changed their expressions, looking ready to act at any moment.
Inside the four-sided pyramid spatial formation, Ye Feng once again recalled the scene of an autumn farmhouse, the old man in plain clothes holding a branch and drawing it across the sky beneath the giant ginkgo tree…
As he watched, Ye Feng gradually became engrossed. Finally, he gripped his Tang saber, slowly raised it, and, mimicking the old man in plain clothes, drew it gently.
Unlike before, Ye Feng could now clearly perceive that he wasn't just imitating; he had truly learned something… even though his movements didn't quite resemble the old man's.
With his eyes closed, Ye Feng was unaware that as he drew his Tang saber, the space around the blade, which pulsed with a peculiar true energy light, began to distort slightly…
"Crack!"
"Clatter!"
The spatial barriers of the four-sided pyramid formation that trapped Ye Feng shattered instantly upon contact with the Tang saber.
Almost simultaneously, the space in the center of the four women, who had formed a circle back-to-back, suddenly distorted. Spatial energy surged, and strange runes appeared on the ground beneath them.
"Hum hum hum!"
After a low and peculiar humming sound, the four women, like Ye Feng, found themselves trapped within four-sided pyramid spatial formations.
"Gulp!"
At this moment, the Blood Ancestor's figure also emerged from the void.
Demonic runes flashed from his hands as he formed a peculiar seal and pressed it onto a four-sided pyramid spatial formation. The demonic runes instantly spread across the formation.
"Ah!"
The next second, Qiao Ying, inside the four-sided pyramid spatial formation, let out a pained cry. Her body seemed to be sliced by countless sharp blades, and a large amount of blood gushed out, flowing rapidly towards the Blood Ancestor's inhuman hands.
"Swish!"
"Screech!"
Suddenly, a piercing sound of air breaking echoed. Ye Feng's figure flashed, appearing beside the Blood Ancestor.
The light of his Tang saber flashed, and one of the Blood Ancestor's arms was instantly severed, spurting out dark red blood…
"Swish!"
Ye Feng's Tang saber swept out again, its target the Blood Ancestor's head.
"Gulp!"
The space around the Blood Ancestor distorted, and his body merged into the void. The next second, his severed right arm also vanished from the sight of Ye Feng and the others.
"Big brother~!"
"Little one!"
"Ye Feng?!"
Xiao Xiao, Ling Xi, and Leng Yue exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with astonishment.
From the moment Ye Feng was trapped in the four-sided pyramid spatial formation, to their own separation and entrapment by the Blood Ancestor, only a few breaths had passed. Yet, Ye Feng had not only broken free of the formation that confined him but had also injured the Blood Ancestor and rescued them…
Most shocked was Leng Yue, who clearly understood what it meant to be able to break through spatial energy barriers…
"That kid… things are getting tricky!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Ke Leji's expression turned grim, and his hands retreated into his sleeves.
"Swish swish swish!"
Sensing that Ke Leji might make a move, Yue Miao immediately unleashed a barrage of water arrows and rune-inscribed blades towards him.
Ke Leji did not dodge. He remained standing in place.
In the blink of an eye, the water arrows and rune-inscribed blades sent by Yue Miao struck Ke Leji, but they passed directly through him.
Ke Leji turned and glanced indifferently at Yue Miao, ignoring her, and then focused his gaze back towards Ye Feng and the others.
"This…"
Seeing this, Yue Miao knitted her brows tightly. From the look in Ke Leji's eyes, he didn't seem to recognize her…
This was completely unexpected, as they had a deep blood feud!
