Wen Feichenâs attack was not aimed at killing, but merely to block Xia Ningshangâs retreat.
Xia Ningshangâs reaction was also quite swift. Although she was caught off guard and thrown out by Yang Kai, she managed to turn around before Wen Feichenâs palm strike arrived. She fiercely exchanged a palm strike with Wen Feichen, using his force to land lightly back beside Yang Kai.
"Ah!" Seeing this, Yang Kai couldnât help but sigh. With a True Essence Realm expert present, and the other side being well-prepared and strong, this time they might really be inescapable.
"Wen Hall Master, capture this woman for me. If she resists..." Long Hui smiled coldly, "Breaking her limbs is fine, just donât damage her face! I want to see what kind of stunning beauty is hidden under that veil!"
Wen Feichen chuckled, "Young Master Long, rest assured, I will not fail you."
Originally, he was somewhat worried that injuring Xia Ningshang during the fight would be blamed by Long Hui, but since he said breaking her limbs was fine, what did Wen Feichen have to worry about?
This young master of the Long family seemed quite excited and finally had some self-awareness, knowing he was no match for this woman. If he could cripple her, he could do as he pleased.
The conversation between the two made Yang Kai and Xia Ningshangâs eyes flash with anger!
Wen Feichen laughed loudly, "Young lady, youâve heard what Young Master Long said. If youâre sensible, youâll surrender quietly. I promise not to hurt you. If you insist on resisting, donât blame Young Master Long for being ruthless!"
Xia Ningshang spat, "Donât even think about it!"
"Fine, fine, fine!" Wen Feichen laughed coldly, "This is your own doing."
As he spoke, he leaped into the air like a flying swallow, his palms striking out in quick succession. The power of a True Essence Realm expert erupted, and the sound of tiger roars could be heard amidst the whistling palm winds. The palm strikes transformed into tiger heads, baring their teeth and snarling as they lunged at Xia Ningshang.
Feeling the power contained in these strikes, Xia Ningshangâs expression turned serious. Her delicate hands danced, quickly sending out several finger strikes to meet the attack. Then, she formed a strange seal and touched the blue gem on her forehead, causing her aura to surge.
The finger strikes, though powerful, could not stop Wen Feichenâs attack. They merely slowed down the tiger heads before being completely swallowed.
In the next moment, the attack reached Xia Ningshang.
The sudden change happened so quickly that by the time Yang Kai reacted, it was already too late.
The tiger heads lunged at Xia Ningshang one after another, about to severely injure her. Suddenly, the blue gem on her forehead rippled with a mysterious aura, and a semi-circular light barrier appeared, like an inverted bowl, enveloping both her and Yang Kai.
Wen Feichenâs attack finally arrived, but the fierce tiger heads dissipated upon contact with the light barrier, vanishing without a trace!
Xia Ningshang remained still, her face calm.
Wen Feichen landed on the ground, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at the light barrier, exclaiming, "A Heaven-grade secret treasure!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyoneâs eyes turned hot, including Long Hui, who had been leering at Xia Ningshang!
"What?" Long Hui finally shifted his attention from Xia Ningshang, turning to look at Wen Feichen, his voice trembling slightly, "Hall Master Wen, what did you just say?"
Wen Feichenâs face twitched, his eyes gleaming with greed as he swallowed hard, "A Heaven-grade secret treasure! It easily blocked my attack, it must be a Heaven-grade secret treasure!"
"Really?" Long Hui couldnât help but get excited. He hadnât expected that this time, just to eliminate the minor character Yang Kai, he would unintentionally gain a beauty and a Heaven-grade secret treasure! Moreover, it was a defensive secret treasure, which was even more valuable than an offensive one.
A Heaven-grade secret treasure was worth a fortune, and the Blood Battle Gang had only one, which was in Hu Manâs possession.
If he could present this secret treasure to his grandfather, his grandfatherâs strength would increase significantly, and even Hu Man wouldnât be a match for him.
He must seize it, he must! Long Hui shouted excitedly, "Hall Master Wen, if you can seize this, the position of Deputy Leader of the Blood Battle Gang will be yours!"
Wen Feichenâs expression brightened, "Thank you, Young Master Long!"
Although he said this, Wen Feichen knew that breaking through the defense of this Heaven-grade secret treasure wouldnât be easy. His attack had been completely ineffective, and he knew this would be a tough nut to crack.
However, fortunately, this girlâs strength was not high, and she couldnât maintain the barrier for long. As long as they kept attacking, there would be a chance to break the light barrier!
"Attack!" With this thought, Wen Feichen shouted and struck the light barrier first. At the same time, the Blood Battle Gangâs experts unleashed their full power.
The light barrier rippled layer upon layer, but Xia Ningshang and Yang Kai, protected inside, were unharmed. All the attacks were blocked by the barrier.
The sudden change gave Yang Kai a glimmer of hope for escape. His eyes sparkled with intelligence as he rapidly thought of a way to find an escape before the barrier was broken.
"Little brother, are you afraid?" Xia Ningshang suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Yang Kai turned to look at her.
"We might die, are you afraid?"
"Whatâs there to be afraid of, donât be afraid!" Yang Kai replied, looking coldly at Long Hui from a distance. If he could capture this person, they would have a bargaining chip.
However, breaking through the Blood Battle Gangâs many experts to capture Long Hui was no easy task, even Xia Ningshang might not be able to do it.
"Iâm not afraid!" Xia Ningshang smiled lightly, "They donât know what theyâre facing!"
Yang Kai was taken aback by her words, not quite understanding her meaning. Suddenly, the entire valley changed.
It was midnight!
On the seventh day of the seventh month, yin energy gathered! From the ground, a cold yin energy suddenly surged, like strange hands reaching out from the earth, climbing upward, making everyone feel uneasy.
In an instant, the temperature in the valley dropped sharply, and the bone-chilling cold made everyone shiver involuntarily.
The Blood Battle Gangâs experts, who were attacking the light barrier, sensed the danger and hurriedly used their aura to resist the yin energy.
Fortunately, although the yin energy was uncomfortable, it was not lethal. As long as they used their aura to resist, there would be no major harm. Even the minor characters from the Stormy Tower could withstand it, let alone the Blood Battle Gangâs experts. However, if they stayed here for too long, their aura would be exhausted, and they would freeze to death.
After a short while, the entire valley was shrouded in yin energy! Xia Ningshang suddenly moved, her figure graceful, as if dancing. She formed strange hand seals, and her aura split into countless streams, spreading in all directions.
