Chapter 1885 - 1913: Blocking the Escape
Afterwards, Ye Feng stood up, and upon seeing Ye Feng had completed his cultivation, Jiuyi and Long Yu excitedly approached Ye Feng: "Ye Feng junior brother, have you broken through?" Ye Feng nodded lightly: "Yes, late stage of Proof of Dao..."
Excitement sparkled in Jiuyi and Long Yu’s eyes. They knew that after Ye Feng’s breakthrough, his strength would become even more formidable. In their view, Ye Feng was already a Dao Venerate strong person with combat power surpassing Super Three.
Of course, once reaching the late stage of Proof of Dao, a Dao Venerate can no longer achieve combat power surpassing Super Three. But now, Ye Feng’s combat power can certainly rival that of a top-level Great Perfection Proof of Dao expert, meaning currently, below Saint Realm experts, there aren’t many who can defeat Ye Feng. Even Su Yourong probably isn’t Ye Feng’s match.
"Alright, let’s go..." Ye Feng said calmly. This operation, although costing the lives of four Green Lotus Sword Sect disciples, had brought them great gains, lifting everyone’s spirits. They then followed Ye Feng and left.
Ye Feng and his companions returned the way they came and in less than a day, they had already left the relics of the Soul Devouring Clan.
Jiuyi and Long Yu were very expectant; this harvest would be enough for them to exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources upon returning to the Green Lotus Sword Sect. It is estimated that their cultivation could also break through in a short time, causing both of them to look forward.
"Boom~~" However, at that moment, a terrible pressure suddenly erupted. That pressure, like a waterfall from the clouds, instantly pressed down on Ye Feng and his companions.
Space rippled with waves, the ground constantly caved in. A murderous intent, dense to the extreme, immediately targeted Ye Feng and his companions. Subsequently, a powerful aura descended, accompanied by eight-colored light.
"Not good!" Anxiety showed in the eyes of Long Yu and Jiuyi as they cautiously looked ahead.
In the void, two figures suddenly appeared, and the leader had reached the realm of Great Perfection Proof of Dao. On his forehead, two Dao Patterns shimmered with eight-colored light, and he held a blood-red blade in his hand.
Upon seeing that figure, a wary expression appeared in the eyes of Jiuyi and Long Yu, instantly recognizing him.
"Lord Ba Dao!" Jiuyi and Long Yu shouted almost in unison, immediately becoming fully alert.
"Exactly!" The person was none other than Lord Ba Dao of the younger generation from Fierce Blade Sect, one of the four prodigies of Shenwu Continent; there was no need to ask why Lord Ba Dao appeared here.
"It’s been a while, the three of you!" Lord Ba Dao coldly looked at Ye Feng and his companions with a Fierce Blade Sect disciple.
The aura of the two figures instantly enveloped Ye Feng and his companions; the Fierce Blade Sect disciple next to Lord Ba Dao was also very formidable, having reached the realm of Great Perfection Proof of Dao. Although just ordinary Great Perfection Proof of Dao, his combat power was terrifying. However, Ye Feng was not surprised at all upon seeing them, as if he had anticipated this.
If it weren’t for the constraints of the Heavenly Dao promise within the Soul Devouring Clan’s relics, Ye Feng would have killed them long ago. Ye Feng had already guessed they wouldn’t just let it go and hand over his belongings.
Lord Ba Dao looked at Ye Feng, his eyes fierce, lips slightly curved upward, finally sticking out his tongue. Long Yu frowned and asked: "Feng Yao, what do you mean? Why are you blocking our way?"
Lord Ba Dao chuckled: "Isn’t it quite clear in your hearts? It’s quite simple, Feng Ye, you actually dared to rob my belongings. You truly don’t have me in your eyes. So now I am very angry. I, Lord Ba Dao Feng Yao, have always been the one robbing others’ belongings. No one has ever dared to rob mine.
Therefore, now I want to ask you to die; will you do it yourself, or shall I do it? A friendly reminder, if you cut yourself in front of me, it will be easier. If I do it, it will be very painful for you..."
Upon hearing Lord Ba Dao’s words, Long Yu and Jiuyi were very worried, their faces grim. The two exchanged a glance, almost without thought, standing in front of Ye Feng: "Feng Ye junior brother, you hurry and go; we will find a way to hold them off to let you escape. Inform the sect on your return, allowing the Sect Master and others to avenge us!"
Jiuyi and Long Yu looked prepared to face death, clearly ready for a desperate struggle against Lord Ba Dao, believing Ye Feng was a Dao Venerate level strong person, the future of Green Lotus Sword Sect. Therefore, Ye Feng’s survival was more valuable than theirs, and Ye Feng’s strength was greater.
Thus, letting Ye Feng run away was the most promising option among the three.
Ye Feng was surprised, as his relationship with Long Yu and Jiuyi wasn’t deep, yet they were willing to sacrifice their lives to cover his retreat, making Ye Feng feel unexpected and deeply moved inside.
Lord Ba Dao sneered: "You two weaklings want to delay us; don’t worry, you three will all die!"
However, Long Yu and Jiuyi didn’t respond to Lord Ba Dao but urged Ye Feng loudly: "Feng Ye junior brother, why are you still standing there? Hurry and escape, we’re buying time for you, find a way to leave!"
But Ye Feng remained calm, his face showing no sign of worry.
"No, why run away? I’ve been waiting for Lord Ba Dao myself." Ye Feng shook his head lightly, not leaving immediately.
Long Yu and Jiuyi became anxious immediately: "Feng Ye junior brother, what are you thinking? We three aren’t their match, Lord Ba Dao’s strength is comparable to a general Semi-Saint expert. If you stay, he’ll kill you!"
Yet Ye Feng maintained a relaxed demeanor: "Kill me? Him? He doesn’t have what it takes!"
"What!" Hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone present was stunned, and Lord Ba Dao looked at Ye Feng surprised, not expecting Ye Feng to say such a thing, wondering if his brain was okay.
"Kid, what did you say?" Lord Ba Dao glared at Ye Feng.
