"Whoosh!~"
"Screech!~ Screech!~"
"Ah!~"
Before Zemola could counterattack, Ye Feng's Tang saber surged with True Energy, constantly cutting into the opponent's body.
Zemola let out several screams, the surrounding space distorted, and its body merged back into the void.
"Wh-what?"
The dog-headed strongman was astonished to see this.
Because in his estimation, Zemola should have instantly killed and devoured Ye Feng, but instead, Ye Feng had managed to make it cry out in pain.
Wu Ye Lin's eyes widened, disbelief etched on her face.
"Buzz!~"
"Whoosh~ Screech!~"
"Clang!~ Clang!~"
Next, Zemola kept vanishing into the void, launching attacks from behind Ye Feng with its sharp black claws and hellfire. However, Ye Feng sensed every attack.
Not only did it fail to injure Ye Feng, but it also sustained several wounds itself.
"Whoosh~ Clang!"
Ye Feng slashed a deep gash into a stone wall, his brow furrowed.
Although he could sense spatial ripples and track Zemola's movements, when the creature merged into the space occupied by the mountain and stone walls, he couldn't pursue it anymore.
After all, he couldn't merge into space. If he were to directly blast away the mountain and stone walls, the opponent would surely escape elsewhere.
"Ah!~ Ah!~"
At this moment, a piercing scream echoed throughout the entire space, even producing an echo. It was the dog-headed strongman, his neck bitten by Zemola.
"Ze... Lord Zemola... Why...?"
"Crack~"
"Chew~ Chew~ Sploosh~! Slurp~ Slurp~"
Under the dog-headed strongman's unwilling and astonished gaze, Zemola bit through his skull, quickly chewing and swallowing him whole.
"Buzz!"
After finishing, red light emanated from Zemola's body. Its previously gaunt form instantly became rosy, and its sharp black claws manifested as blade-shaped hellfire.
The next second, Zemola flashed and instantly appeared beside Ye Feng, its hellfire-infused black claws clawing towards Ye Feng's throat.
"Clang!~~ Screech!"
Although Ye Feng blocked with his Tang saber, the blade-shaped hellfire still cut through his flesh, instantly scorching his skin and muscles. A dark, malevolent energy spread from the wound.
"Ugh!~"
Ye Feng grunted, gripping his Tang saber, True Energy surging, and he fiercely slashed towards Zemola's large head.
Zemola instantly vanished into the void. The next moment, its hellfire-infused black claws clawed from behind Ye Feng.
"So fast!"
Ye Feng's heart tightened. He gripped his Tang saber and spun around to meet the attack.
"Clang!~"
As the crisp metallic sound rang out, Zemola's figure had already disappeared. In an instant, Zemola's hellfire rained down on Ye Feng from above.
"Rumble!~ Whoosh!~"
Ye Feng's True Energy surged. He stomped his foot and leaped away rapidly, but a large patch of his shoulder was scorched.
Zemola didn't stop. Its massive body surged with hellfire, and it lunged at Ye Feng again.
"Whoosh!~"
Ye Feng's Tang saber slashed out, but missed. He couldn't pursue further because Zemola had merged into the mountain and stone wall behind him.
"You three, get out of here quickly!"
As Ye Feng's voice fell, his eyes narrowed, and he gripped his Tang saber, charging directly into the mountain and stone wall where Zemola had merged.
"Whoosh whoosh!~"
"Clang~ Crackle~ Bang~ Rumble!~"
The incredibly hard mountain and stone wall was instantly gouged with a large hole by Ye Feng's Tang saber.
"Clang!~ Hiss~"
"Whoosh!~ Screech!~"
"Clang! Clang!~"
Inside the mountain, sounds of metal clashing, rocks shattering, hellfire whistling, and suppressed groans of pain continuously erupted.
Before long, the mountain where Ye Feng and the others were located displayed numerous large cracks, evidence of the fierce battle between Ye Feng and Zemola.
"Go, this place is about to collapse, hurry!"
Seeing the increasing cracks in the surrounding mountains and falling boulders, Qiao Ying immediately said.
"Shenwen Stone, grab one, even fragments will do!"
Wu Ye Lin's slightly anxious voice sounded.
"Okay!"
Qiao Ying responded, her figure flashing quickly. She grabbed several broken fragments of Shenwen Stone, handed them to Wu Ye Lin, and then was the first to run towards an exit.
Xiao Xiao and Wu Ye Lin glanced at Ye Feng's location, then quickly followed.
"Clang!~ Bang!"
"Screech!~ Ah!"
"Kid, you... t
Zemola retreated rapidly, creating a considerable distance between itself and Ye Feng. It looked terrified because Ye Feng's True Energy had just penetrated space and directly struck it.
An attack that pierced through the spatial barrier was something only a True God could achieve!
Ye Feng offered no explanation. His face showed excitement. Although he had sustained multiple injuries during the recent battle, his control over the peculiar True Energy within him had become even more refined.
Moreover, faintly, Ye Feng felt he was one step closer to breaking through to Diamond. Yet, for some reason, he always felt an intangible, imperceptible barrier blocking him.
"Hmph! Wait until I recover my peak strength, then I'll deal with you!"
Seeing Ye Feng's silence, Zemola snorted coldly. It paid Ye Feng no more mind, merged into the void, and fled directly upwards, clearly intending to escape.
"Hmm?"
Ye Feng frowned and immediately pursued.
"Bang!~ Bang bang!~"
"Clang~ Hiss!~ Rumble!~"
"Bang~ Crackle!~"
...
"This is truly troublesome!"
Ye Feng was somewhat frustrated.
To delay him as much as possible, Zemola had been moving through the spaces of exceptionally hard mountain rock. Coupled with its lack of intention to fight, it quickly opened up a distance.
Seeing this, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. True Energy surged within him, and he accelerated towards Zemola.
But at this very moment, Zemola, who had been fleeing, suddenly stopped. It used its black claws to slash open its palm, and crimson blood spurted out.
"Hell Blood Bind!"
Zemola roared, its two front paws rapidly forming a strange seal and slamming downwards.
