Chapter 87 Predicament (Four Updates, Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks)

  It was unknown how long had passed when Ye Fei, who was in a coma, felt his body go numb and his head spin dizzily. But then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes suddenly snapped open.

  The scorching sunlight made her squint, and after a moment of adaptation, she looked around and remembered that Lijou was by her side when she fainted. Hadn't she died?

  "What?" Ye Fei's face changed in an instant, and he exclaimed in surprise.

  Ye Fei didn't die, but that guy actually died. And Ye Fei's body was still lying in the same place as before he fainted, of course, this wasn't what shocked him.

  Not far from Ye Fei, an old man with white hair sat cross-legged, his face pale, with some bloodstains on his body, and his breathing was also unstable, looking like he had suffered a serious injury.

  Li Rou's body lay quietly beside the old man, lifeless and still.

  Ye Fei looked at the corpse of the demon beast, then looked at Li Rou, and finally, his gaze fell on the old man's body, with a worried and solemn expression, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

  This old man was none other than Lianhuo Zhengyang, the Blazing Flame Elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion!

  "Haha, you've fallen for my Mysterious Needle, yet you woke up so quickly. Not bad indeed." Lian Huo Lao Zu's eyes snapped open as he coldly smiled at Ye Fei.

  "Was it you who saved us? What do you want? Don't hurt her!" Ye Fei said to the Lava Elder.

  "Haha, save you? Don't mention her, neither of you two old men will let the other go, but I won't let you die so easily. I want to torture you properly." Leng Huo said coldly.

  "Were you watching us from here when we were hunting the demonic beast?" Ye Fei suddenly remembered that he had always felt like someone was staring at him before.

  Upon hearing this, the elder Lihuo's mouth curled up and he nodded, saying: "You're not stupid, but I've been following you since you left Qianya Sect."

  If it weren't for your large numbers, I would have taken action to capture you earlier. Fortunately, the arrival of this cursed beast has kept the two of you here.

  However, you've heavily injured this Qu Yuan Spider, which ultimately benefited me. This time, I've gained multiple benefits - not only have I captured you all, but I also killed a Golden Core stage demon beast. Although I was slightly injured, it was all worth it!

  Ye Fei was shocked upon hearing this, secretly sighing at the depth of Lian Huo's schemes and his ability to remain calm. If he and the other had fallen into his hands, they would definitely not have a good outcome.

  Although this person was injured, he was indeed a solid foundation and a great perfection. Even if he were in his prime, he would not be able to resist him. Moreover, Lui Rou's condition was unknown, and he was even less of a match for Lie Huo's elder.

  "Haha, young one, don't think about resisting. I'll rest for a while and then take you back to the Wan Jian Pavilion. As soon as you leave, I'll kill this girl. Besides, you can't escape from my grasp anyway." The old man said, seemingly seeing through Ye Fei's intentions.

  "Want to take a break? It seems that the fierce old man is also seriously injured?" Ye Fei said with narrowed eyes, but he didn't dare to make a move.

  Upon hearing this, the Lava Elder's expression changed, and he sneered. "You can try it out, then you'll know how severe my injuries are. Since I didn't kill you, naturally there's a way to deal with you. Do you still think that with your mere Foundation Stage middle period cultivation, you can withstand me?"

  "Ah-choo!" A light cough escaped from Li Rou's mouth, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed as she woke up. She opened her eyes with some confusion, but when she saw Lie Huo Lao standing beside her, she quickly scrambled to get up, retreating backward like she had encountered a snake or scorpion. Her instincts led her to Ye Fei's side, but unlike Ye Fei, she didn't seem surprised, apparently having already known about this situation.

  "Witch, what's wrong with you? I thought you were dead!" Ye Fei looked at Li Rou and felt a stone lifted off his heart.

  Ling Ruo's body was stained with a hint of blood, her face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with worry. Her figure seemed somewhat weak, looking pitiful. But in Ye Fei's eyes, there was a strange kind of beauty.

  "It's almost as if we're dead already, with this old thing around, how can things go well for us?" Li Rou said, looking at the distant Leng Huo Old Man, her worn-out face revealing a hint of helpless smile.

  "Are you okay? What's next?" Li Rou asked Ye Fei.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Fei's eyebrows furrowed, he absolutely couldn't wait to be captured, but at the moment, even with Qingyuan Mang added, Ye Fei still didn't have confidence that both of them could escape simultaneously.

  "I'm fine, but we're no match for him, and there's almost no chance of escaping." Ye Fei said in a low voice.

  "Haha, not bad, now you really don't have a single chance." Just then, the Lava Elder suddenly let out a loud laugh, and with one hand stretched out, several drops of black liquid seeped out from his fingertips. The plants on the ground that were stained by it immediately withered away, and emitted thick black smoke, looking extremely toxic.

  Under Ye Fei's astonished gaze, Lie Huo stood up with a smile on his face.

  "Little one, if you had spoken up about your own escape earlier, there would have been some hope. I originally thought that after killing this demon beast, I could take you all back with me. Who knew that the demon beast would make me fall into a trap of severe poison before it died? Helpless, I had to cultivate my energy to force out the poison here, and at that time, I really couldn't spare any attention to stop your escape."

  However, now that you have no hope left, will you surrender quietly or do I need to take action myself? Of course, if I were to take action, I would first kill this girl and then capture you, taking you back to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion for a good torture. Haha! The fierce fire elder burst out laughing as if he had already seen Ye Fei being tortured miserably.

  "You go first, don't bother with me this time. I can barely move my hands now and my magic hasn't recovered yet. I'll try to stall him for a while." Li Rou suddenly said to Ye Fei.

  Ye Fei didn't answer, but instead furrowed his brow in thought. His mind racing, he suddenly shook his sleeve and a three-foot-long green snake shot out with a whoosh.

  Although he himself was also a lawless person who had not recovered, and had no chance of winning, in any case, Ye Fei would never be able to wait for death with his hands tied.

  "I won't abandon you." Ye Fei said lightly, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the distant Lian Huo Old Man.

  Upon hearing this, Li Rou's heart warmed up and she looked at Ye Fei with a moved expression. A sweet smile appeared on her face. "Thank you!" Li Rou said, then straightened her face and turned to Leng Huo Zun Zhe.

  "Haha, what a wonderful pair of star-crossed lovers! No wonder you wanted to kill my disciple back then. It turns out that your relationship with this girl is not ordinary. Seeing her being affectionate with Sheng'er must have stirred up murderous intentions in you."

  "Hmph, since you won't surrender, I'll take action myself. In front of you, I'll kill your woman and see what ability you have to resist?" Leng Huo's elder let out a cold laugh, and then with a loud crash, a powerful aura burst forth from his body. (End of chapter)
