Suddenly, the sounds of battle and intense fluctuations of true energy came from afar.
Are martial artists fighting?
Ye Feng immediately took flight and fled towards the source of the energy fluctuations.
Dozens of martial artists formed a formation and were besieging a demonic beast.
The monster was enormous, like a small mountain, covered in thick armor, and its surface looked like it was covered in churning lava!
Those martial artists were mostly at the True Essence Realm, although there were also a handful at the Divine Travel Realm.
So many people formed a great formation to attack this monster, but they couldn't break through it after a long time. Instead, they were injured one after another, and the situation became extremely precarious!
"Brother Wang, Fairy Lu, you must think of something quickly!"
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, a young martial artist shouted urgently, his face showing great anxiety.
The two leading figures were the only two martial artists at the Divine Ascension Realm. They were handsome, but their expressions were extremely unpleasant.
“Junior Brother Chen, this is the first time my junior sister and I have encountered a peak eighth-grade demon beast. We are afraid our methods are insufficient. Although you are of lower cultivation levels, you should have more combat experience than us. Can you come up with any strategies?” the leading male martial artist asked.
The male warrior and the female warrior in a pink dress used their flying swords to continuously attack the peak eighth-grade demon beast.
The male warrior's flying sword was like a stream of fire, while the female warrior's flying sword was like a shimmering blue wave. The two of them complemented each other perfectly, which showed that they often practiced their swordsmanship together.
A middle-aged female martial artist who looked to be around thirty years old, with a very gloomy face, coldly said, "Wang Feng, Lu Bingxue, if you hadn't said that this demonic beast was in a weakened state due to giving birth, how could we have followed you to this place to surround and kill the demonic beast! Now that things have turned out this way, you should be held responsible!"
"Is this the time to shirk responsibility?" Wang Feng, the leader, shouted.
The peak eighth-grade demonic beast roared and spewed out large balls of flames as it attacked.
A young female warrior was unable to dodge in time, and her protective aura was no match for the monster's attack. She was engulfed by the flames and turned to ashes in the blink of an eye!
"Junior Sister Ling!"
The young male martial artist who spoke first shouted in grief and indignation, but he was helpless.
Suddenly, Wang Feng looked at a female martial artist with a delicate face in the crowd and said, "Tao Yanrou, didn't you say you had a talisman that could summon your master's avatar?"
"That's my life-saving item, how can you use it so easily?" the True Essence Realm female martial artist named Tao Yanrou said angrily.
"What time is it now? You still want to hide your strength? If you don't use it now, you'll never have another chance to use it!" Wang Feng shouted.
Other martial artists also quickly began to persuade him.
Tao Yanrou hesitated for a moment, then finally took out a pink talisman and said, "Alright, I'll activate the talisman now, but I can't guarantee that my master's avatar will arrive in time..."
Just then, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky!
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out, and the shockwave spread outwards.
Wang Feng, Lu Bingxue, Tao Yanrou, and the others were all blown away by the shockwave, landing on the ground in a disheveled state, covered in dust and dirt.
They didn't even bother to get up from the ground before looking up at the center of the explosion.
There, a large crater several hundred paces in circumference had appeared, and lying in the crater was the peak eighth-grade demon beast!
"They're still alive? Their shells have pretty good defense."
A man's voice came from the air.
The next moment, lightning struck again!
This time, everyone present finally saw it clearly.
It was a five-colored lightning bolt, which seemed to contain the power of the five elements!
Crack!
The peak eighth-grade demonic beast completely exploded, its corpse turning into fragmented pieces, and its inner core flew away to who knows where.
All the martial artists were stunned. They stared in shock at the male martial artist slowly descending from the sky. For a moment, no one dared to believe it was real.
And who else could it be but the night wind that fell from the sky!
"He actually killed a peak eighth-grade demonic beast with a wave of his hand. Just what realm is this person?"
“Even someone at the Transcendent Realm couldn’t kill a peak Rank 8 demon beast so easily! He’s at least a senior at the Saint Realm!” Wang Feng said with great certainty.
The martial artists discussed amongst themselves and cast shocked glances at Ye Feng.
But they quickly realized what was happening and stepped forward to bow to the night wind.
"Thank you so much for saving our lives, senior. We will never forget your kindness!" Wang Feng said emphatically.
Lu Bingxue and Tao Yanrou looked at Ye Feng with curiosity, seemingly trying to figure out his identity.
Suddenly, Tao Yanrou stepped forward and said, "Senior, I am Tao Yanrou. My master is the immortal Gao Wanling. May I ask your honorable name?"
Night Breeze was somewhat surprised.
He casually saved a group of martial artists, one of whom turned out to be a disciple of a Void Returning Realm Immortal.
Was this good luck or bad luck?
Ye Feng sensed the probing intent in Tao Yanrou's words and said calmly, "I am a reclusive cultivator named Ye Feng who has lived in seclusion for many years. I haven't walked the world for over a thousand years. I got a little bored with my seclusion, so I came out to wander around and happened to come across you fighting that monster."
"Killing that monster was a trivial matter for me, not worth mentioning."
A hermit cultivator who has lived in seclusion for over a thousand years?
And it's a name I've never heard of before?
Tao Yanrou thought for a moment and said, "I see. No wonder we've never heard of your name before. Senior, you saved my life, and I must do something to repay you. I wonder if you have the time to come with me to our sect? My master will definitely thank you."
Tao Yanrou's face was full of gratitude, and she looked at Ye Feng with expectant eyes.
But the night breeze sensed something was wrong.
This girl named Tao Yanrou revealed who her master was, but did not disclose the name of her sect.
Moreover, she was so eager to invite him to her sect. How could this be considered repaying a life-saving debt?
This is clearly a case of harboring ill intentions towards Ye Feng, wanting to lure him into the sect before taking action against him!
Ye Feng glanced at the other martial artists and, sure enough, noticed that the expressions on their faces were somewhat strange.
It seems these people all know that Tao Yanrou's motives are impure.
Some of them seemed to want to warn Ye Feng, but were stopped by those around them, while others were simply watching the show.
I really did save a bunch of ungrateful wretches!
Night Breeze chuckled inwardly, feeling rather disappointed.
These days, it's really hard to be a good person.
"senior?"
Seeing that Ye Feng remained silent, Tao Yanrou spoke up to ask.
Ye Feng laughed and said, "Since you've extended such a warm invitation, I'll go with you. Lead the way now."
"It is my honor to meet you, senior. My master would certainly be happy to exchange ideas and learn from you," Tao Yanrou said with a smile, her expression so innocent.
