Chapter 12: Stranded

  "Haha, I didn't expect you to be here, it seems our trip wasn't in vain after all." Wan Feng said with a cold smile as he saw Ye Fei.

  He took a glance at Ye Fei, the grey-clothed youth furrowed his brow and nodded: "It's this kid, he robbed you? Heh heh, doesn't seem like much."

  Upon hearing this, Wan Feng nodded slightly. Meanwhile, his companion had already slipped away unnoticed, sensing the unfavorable situation. The two of them didn't pay attention to anything else and simply stared coldly at Ye Fei.

  "Wan Qi, I let you go with good intentions, but you actually found someone to take revenge?" Ye Fei also saw the situation and said with a flash of anger on his face, thinking that human hearts are indeed treacherous, it seems that he was too kind.

  "Hmph, you inexperienced brat, quickly hand over my treasure and leave your magic tool behind. We don't want to hurt you." Wan Feng said with a serious face.

  "Haha, Wanqi? You've even changed your name, you really are capable of doing so. Alright, no need to say more, let's just get straight to it." As soon as the words fell, Hu Shuang's figure leapt up and charged towards Ye Fei.

  Yeh Fei suddenly changed direction, made a leap and disappeared at the corner of the second floor. Wan Feng's expression changed, he hastily followed Hu Shuang to chase after him.

  The owner of the inn moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't open his mouth, and just stared fiercely at the young clerk. Both of them looked nervous.

  As soon as he arrived on the second floor, Ye Fei rushed to the window and kicked it open with a loud bang. He flashed out of the room and jumped down, rolling on the ground before leaping up again. Without even looking back, he ran towards the street corner.

  The two of them, Wan and Feng, watched as Ye Fei turned into the alleyway and jumped out of the window. They hastily chased after him, cursing and swearing in their mouths: "This little brat runs pretty fast, when we catch up to him, we'll have to give him a good scolding."

  Yè Fēi was getting more and more frightened as he ran, already at his limit. Unable to speed up any further, yet still unable to shake off the two behind him, this made Yè Fēi somewhat anxious. Sweat dripped down from his forehead.

  His physical condition was originally poor and even more unsuitable for such a long period of intense exercise, and even the same level of competition in terms of strength, Ye Fei also suffered a lot, recovering slower than others.

  Before, Ye Fei had clearly felt a killing intent in the young man's eyes. It wasn't something he saw, but rather sensed with his own spiritual awareness. And yet, his opponent was an eighth-level Qi Practitioner, someone he couldn't possibly defeat. Not to mention there was also Wan Qi.

  So, Ye Fei didn't dare to stop, gritting his teeth and persevering, continuing to run, his face also becoming somewhat pale. If not for the support of his spiritual power, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on any longer.

  In this way, the two chased and one fled, unknowingly, the sky also gradually darkened, and the three people ran into the edge of a dense forest, just as Ye Fei was about to drill in.

  "Not good, the sky is getting dark, once he gets into the woods, it's going to be hard to find him." Wan Feng said with some urgency, but as both he and Ye Fei were at the 7th level of Qi training, they couldn't easily catch up to each other.

  Just then, a cold glint flashed in Hu's eyes, and with a sudden slap on his waist, a grey long gun appeared in his hand. Immediately afterwards, he pinched a seal with one hand, and beneath his feet, a white blur flashed.

  Whoosh, with a single foot exerting force, in one rise and fall, it was already several zhang away, leaving Wan Feng far behind. Whoosh, after a few leaps, the distance between them was less than a zhang.

  Seeing this, Wan Feng couldn't help but pause for a moment. But at this time, there was no time to think more, and he hurriedly quickened his pace to chase after the two of them.

  "You can't escape, humph." Hu Shuang's mouth corner rose, and he immediately threw the long spear into the air. With a whooshing sound, the gray spear flashed, and in an instant, it was thrust towards Ye Fei's back.

  As long as Ye Fei didn't want to die, he had to turn around and parry or dodge the long spear. This way, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks. Once he was caught up by himself, it would be impossible for him to run away. Hu Shuang sneered coldly in her heart.

  Ye Fei didn't even turn his head, but when the long spear was about to pierce his back, he suddenly twisted his waist and dodged the attack with a "whoosh", continuing to flee forward.

  "What? Has this kid grown eyes in the back of his head?" Seeing this, Hu Shuang was clearly taken aback, looking somewhat disbelieving, but his feet didn't stop moving for a moment.

  With a fixed gaze, he raised his hand and beckoned once, the grey long spear became blurry, and it flew back into Hu Shuang's hands. At the same time, he gritted his teeth, forcing out an incantation with some difficulty.

  With a whoosh, under its feet, a white blur flashed wildly, seemingly filled with infinite power. After several leaps, it landed steadily in front of Ye Fei, blocking his path.

  Seeing this, Ye Fei calmed down and stopped in his tracks. His chest heaved up and down as he struggled to catch his breath. A pale face with a calm expression, but in reality, if it weren't for the dense forest ahead, Ye Fei would have stopped running long ago.

  After a long time, I may not even have the strength to wield the treasure. Looking at Hu Shuang, Ye Fei said softly: "I'll hand over the treasure, will you let me go?"

  Upon hearing this, Hu's eyes narrowed and he smiled, saying: "Heh heh, of course. Then hand over the treasure first, and we won't make things difficult for you."

  After a moment's thought, Ye Fei nodded and patted his waist with one hand. With a whoosh, the Yuan Guang sword appeared in his hand. He glanced at the young man and then threw it to him.

  "It's just a dream." As soon as the words fell, Ye Fei raised his hand and cast a spell, with a "poof" sound, he entered the Yuanguang sword. The sword body immediately trembled slightly, and with a "hua" sound, it slashed towards Hu Shuang.

  At the same time, his hands popped up one after another, and he continuously shot out several fist-sized fireballs. Although this kind of attack couldn't hurt the opponent with small fireball techniques, Ye Fei only sought to disrupt the opponent's mind, making it difficult for him to take the next blow from the Yuanguang sword, as he had already seen that this young man would never let himself go.

  "Hmph, young one, you're still a bit tender. Don't try to play tricks on me." Hu Shuang seemed to have been prepared all along, and almost as soon as Ye Fei had cast the small fireball technique, his long spear flashed with a grey light, striking towards the Half-Empty Sword in mid-air.

  As for the several fireballs that came flying towards him, Hu Shuang merely raised the corner of his mouth and with a flick of his sleeve, whoosh, over ten ice cones, each about a foot long, shot out.

  Puff puff puff, whether it's an ice cone or a fireball, they all burst open with a dull thud.

  At the sight, Ye Fei's eyes condensed, and at the same time, two treasures in mid-air collided with each other, emitting a loud "Boom" sound, and a dazzling light burst open.

  "Mid-tier artifact?" Ye Fei's expression changed as he glanced at the grey long spear.

  Two treasures were locked in a stalemate, Hu Shuang raised his hand and pointed the long spear at mid-air, with a humming sound, the gray mist flashed, the long spear trembled slightly, and with one move, Ye Fei's Yuanguang sword was easily knocked flying.

  At the same time, a muffled hum sounded, Ye Fei's shoulders trembled slightly, his face turned pale, and the treasure was knocked down. Ye Fei had obviously suffered some backlash. Whether it was the treasure or his cultivation, the opponent was one level higher than him, and Ye Fei secretly lamented in his heart.

  Just then, Wan Feng finally caught up, panting, and was about to ask Ye Fei to hand over the treasure when a long spear flashed in the gray mist, swooshing down towards Ye Fei with a single slash.

  Just as Hu Shuang was about to make his move, Ye Fei's divine sense had already detected it. He thought of recalling the Yuanguang Sword to block it, but it was clearly too late, and besides, he wouldn't be able to block it anyway. Thinking this, Ye Fei reached for his waist with one hand.

  With a loud crash, suddenly, a silver long spear collided with the gray long spear. A burst of dazzling light exploded out.

  "Hu Shuang, what are you doing? I told you not to take anyone's life, just retrieve the treasure and don't make things difficult for him." Wan Feng said with a hint of difficulty, struggling to control the treasure as it resisted the gray long gun.

  Seeing this, Ye Fei was also slightly stunned, and his movements in his hand came to a halt.

  "Haha, I, Hu Shuang, have never been one to dawdle or leave myself with worries. His life is mine to decide." With that, Hu Shuang let out a cold laugh.

  Under his powerful urging, a loud crash was heard, and the treasure of Wanfeng flew out with one strike. Wanfeng's face turned pale immediately. And Ye Fei took the opportunity to recall the Yuanguang Sword.

  At this point, Wan Feng was also somewhat helpless. He was not Hu Shuang's opponent at all, and he couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. As for Ye Fei, he seemed to have no strength to resist either.

  "This little brother, I'm really sorry, originally I didn't plan to..." Before he could finish speaking, Wan Feng's face suddenly changed, and a whistling wind sound came from mid-air."

  That grey long spear did not slash towards Ye Fei, but instead, slashed towards Wan Feng. This couldn't help but make Wan Feng first stunned, then a flash of anger appeared on his face. But since his own treasure had just been knocked flying, this was actually a fatal blow to Wan Feng's unpreparedness.

  At this moment, a cyan long sword flashed out and hit the gun body with precision, and the long spear was deflected. With Wan Feng's quick movement, he also dodged the attack.

  Seeing this, Wan Feng looked at Ye Fei with some gratitude. He then coldly stared at Hu Shuang.

  "Hmph, I said from the start, why didn't you use your 'Extreme Light Step' to catch up with that person? It turns out you've been waiting, waiting for us to all leave Wuhua Town. You wanted to kill two birds with one stone, did I say it wrong?" Wan Feng looked at Hu Shuang with extreme shock and anger, saying this.

  First, he took a glance at the pale-faced Ye Fei, then Hu Shuang smiled slightly at Wan Feng and nodded: "Things have come to this point, there's no need to hide anything. Yes, I indeed planned to get rid of you two and take the treasure for myself."

  But what I didn't expect was that you would actually help each other out, haha, it's really unexpected. However, even if you join forces, there is only one dead end."

  Upon hearing this, Wan Feng's face changed and he coldly laughed: "That's right, we are indeed not your match, but don't forget that our plan is also known to Shi Yan Daoist.

  "Our relationship is clear to you, isn't it? If I don't return, hehe, I suppose you won't have a good ending either." Upon hearing this, Hu Shuang's expression changed. (End of chapter)
