Chapter 60: Joining Hands Against the Enemy
After hearing the old man's cold words, Ye Fei couldn't help but change his expression. This thin and dry old man who claimed to be Huang Que Zai Hou was actually a mid-stage foundation-building cultivator.
He wore a grey robe, his body was lean and thin, his face was somewhat cold, especially those bright and shining eyes, seemed to be devoid of any human emotions.
"Oh, sir, what do you mean by that? Is there such a big difference between the middle and early stages of building a foundation?" Ye Fei looked at the old man with some confusion and said.
That old man was only slightly different from himself, and if it weren't for Xiao Qing being there, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. But that old man had clearly seen Xiao Qing, yet still had such great confidence. Could it be that his mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation could overpower the combined forces of his own early-stage Foundation Establishment self and Xiao Qing?
"Heh heh, no need to be puzzled, you only know a few superficial magic tricks. Looking at you, you should be a loose cultivator who accidentally obtained some opportunity to advance and build your foundation, and also got a top-grade magic tool, and also got along with this demon."
"So you don't pose any threat to me, let alone a mid-term nuclear beast. I can still handle it, and it's been poisoned by the ink poison centipede's deadly venom. Although it won't be fatal, once it starts moving, it will affect its strength." The old man said expressionlessly.
Ye Fei heard this and first looked at Qing Yuan's python. On its body, there were indeed some signs of skin corrosion, apparently from the venom of the centipedes it had encountered earlier.
"It seems that you have been observing us for a long time, do we have any grudges?" Ye Fei couldn't help but secretly admire the old man's meticulous thinking and careful observation, he was absolutely a difficult person to deal with. By asking this question, he was just stalling for time, trying to recover some energy.
Upon hearing this, the old man's mouth curled up and he said in a cold voice: "Three corpses of demonic beasts, plus your treasure on you, are worth my effort. You don't need to play smart in front of me, I won't give you an opportunity to recover your strength."
Before the words had fallen, the old man raised his hand and with a flick, the treasure that had just been retrieved turned into three streams of light, shooting towards Ye Fei at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, they appeared two or three zhang away from Ye Fei's eyes.
It turned out that he intended to kill Ye Fei first, who looked weaker, and then focus on dealing with Qing Yuan.
With a whoosh, as if he had been prepared in advance, Ye Fei controlled the blue thin blade, and a flashing impact landed on the three flowing lights. Suddenly, a buzzing sound exploded in mid-air.
A burst of light flashed, and Ye Fei suddenly discovered that the old man's treasure was actually three short swords about the size of a ruler, similar to daggers. The blades were thin as paper, looking extremely sharp, flashing with a cold cyan glow.
"Fei Jian?" Ye Fei had heard of this type of artifact, but it was his first time seeing one. It was said that the attacking power of this artifact wasn't very strong, but its methods were numerous and often came with sword arrays. The most important point was that its speed was extremely fast, generally unmatched by other artifacts.
"Haha, you haven't even seen a flying sword before, you're indeed a young whippersnapper!" As soon as the words fell, the old man raised his hand and pointed at the three flying swords, which let out a humming sound and flashed with a blue light.
The three flying swords suddenly retreated one step back, forming a triangle to surround Ye Fei. Before Ye Fei could react, the three flying swords quickly started spinning, vaguely surrounding him in the middle.
As soon as he saw this scene, Ye Fei quickly brought the gray shield in front of him, with a solemn expression, looking around at the invisible flying swords.
Suddenly, Ye Fei's expression changed, and a gray shield vaguely appeared behind him.
At the same time, a loud "pa" sound was heard, and a cyan flying sword just cut onto the shield, but immediately afterwards, it flashed back.
Whoosh!
A cold glint flashed before Ye Fei's eyes. He thought of recalling his shield to block it, but it was already too late. His face changed color as his body twisted.
A burst of fresh blood spurted out from Ye Fei's left shoulder, the flying sword flashed back, and the three flying swords revolved around Ye Fei again, seeking an opportunity to attack.
Bang! A muffled sound!
The green python's tail slapped the ground, its body brought up a strong gust of wind and pounced on the old man. At the same time, it spewed out a stream of cold air and white mist, rolling towards the old man in a big wave.
Seeing this, the old man's mouth corner rose, and he pinched his fingers together with one hand, then pointed to the ground in front of him.
A strange scene unfolded, the originally flat ground suddenly twisted and writhed, in the blink of an eye, a high mound of earth rose up, after a violent shaking, a giant mud man about ten feet tall was formed. It looked incredibly powerful.
Immediately afterwards, a water wall appeared in front of the old man, blocking all the cold arrows spat out by Qingyuan Mang.
A loud muffled sound!
The Yellow Earth Giant punched out with a loud crash, steadily smashing onto the body of Qingyuan Snake. Both were slightly shaken and retreated backwards, then immediately entwined in battle once again.
At this moment, Ye Fei took the opportunity to escape from the sword array, his hands waving continuously, dense and numerous ice cones and fireballs shooting out, sweeping towards the old man. Although individual might is not great, but so many low-level spells superimposed, the foundation period is also impressive.
Next, Ye Fei raised his hand and beckoned, a blue light flashed in mid-air, and he slashed towards the old man.
As the fireballs and ice cones came towards him from all directions, the old man didn't seem to make any movement, but a flash of light appeared around his body, and with a whoosh, a layer of pale yellow light shield flashed out, enveloping the old man within.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out one after another, but whether it was a fireball that seemed to be quite powerful or an ice cone, neither could damage the light shield in the slightest, which couldn't help but furrow Ye Fei's brow.
"Protective Aura?" Ye Fei said with some confusion, it's said that only those in the Foundation Building stage and above can cast this spell, no need for any magical tools or treasures, just casting this technique is enough to withstand some magical tool attacks, of course, it also depends on the caster's cultivation level and the level of the opposing magical tool, but Ye Fei's low-level magic would naturally be easily withstood.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The three flying swords flew back in a flash, and the blue thin blade was blocked by one of them. The three flying swords shone brightly, and the blue thin blade seemed to be somewhat unsteady.
Rumble!
A deafening explosion shook the earth, a cloud of yellow dust spread out, and under Qingyuan's mighty blow, the giant finally scattered into the air as yellow dust.
Plop!
At this moment, the giant python's mouth opened wide, and a white light column as thick as a water bucket shot out, striking the old man. The surrounding area transmitted a buzzing sound.
"What? The innate divine ability of the ancient sacred beast Baihu?" The old man exclaimed in shock, his face changing color immediately.
I remember that I had never seen the Qingyuan snake's move before, and the old man had also heard of its terrifying power, but it seemed that it shouldn't appear on this snake's body. Therefore, there was no strong defense. Now seeing it again, and at such a close distance to himself, how could the old man not be surprised? (End of chapter)
