NOVEL WEB Chapter 626: A Powerful Tree Demon? Meeting Again!_2
Luo Yao's strength had already reached the Half-step Transcendence Realm, barely enough to hold his ground.
Ye Yunfei nodded and immediately charged toward the Tree Demons.
He had long sensed the eerie aura emanating from the Tree Demons—it seemed capable of confusing one's mind.
Ye Yunfei summoned his flying sword and slashed at the Tree Demons.
Whoosh whoosh...
Wave after wave of sharp and fierce Sword Qi erupted from the flying sword, slicing towards the Tree Demons.
"You dare court death, boy!"
One of the Tree Demons, far stronger than the others, suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a Black Bead, hurtling it toward Ye Yunfei.
Rumble...
The Black Bead collided forward, unleashing a torrent of black demonic energy that surged toward Ye Yunfei like an unstoppable tide.
Ye Yunfei felt his mind start to blur, losing clarity.
"Not good! These Tree Demons can truly confuse one's mind!"
Ye Yunfei was shocked and immediately directed his mind energy to strike at his own Sea of Consciousness.
The next moment.
Ye Yunfei's mind suddenly cleared significantly.
Swoosh!
With a mere thought, Ye Yunfei sent his flying sword slashing at the Black Bead.
Rumble...
The flying sword erupted with an overwhelming burst of Sword Qi, forcing the Black Bead to retreat continuously.
Taking advantage of the situation.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand and summoned a dozen black whips, lashing them at the Tree Demons.
These black whips were crafted from Black Iron, refined into Magical Treasures by Ye Yunfei himself.
The Black Iron was a unique, energy-rich metal of immense power.
After refining it into Magical Treasures, their might was extraordinary.
The dozen black whips lashed at the Tree Demons, instantly forcing them to retreat while letting out wretched screams.
"Good!"
Seeing this, Luo Yao couldn't help but cheer with joy.
He had always known that Ye Yunfei possessed remarkable strength.
Now, seeing Ye Yunfei merely wave his hand to drive back the Tree Demons, Luo Yao was naturally delighted.
Ye Yunfei also breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that these Tree Demons were not only powerful, but also bizarre, capable of bewitched one's mind.
Were it not for his mind energy, he might have already fallen victim to their tricks.
Now, Ye Yunfei had secured his mind with his mind energy, rendering the Tree Demons powerless to confuse him any further.
"Kill!"
Ye Yunfei roared as the dozen black whips lashed out again, eliciting another wave of agonized screeches from the Tree Demons.
"Brother Ye, I'll assist you!"
Luo Yao shouted and charged at the Tree Demons.
Despite their formidable strength, the Tree Demons began retreating under the combined assaults of Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao.
Finally.
Unable to withstand the attack, the Tree Demons turned to flee.
Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao naturally would not let them escape, immediately pursuing the fleeing Tree Demons.
An hour later.
Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao successfully slaughtered all the Tree Demons.
"Brother Ye, I owe you greatly for this time,"
said Luo Yao, looking at Ye Yunfei.
He knew that his survival came at great expense—if not for Ye Yunfei's presence, escape might have been possible, but the cost would have been devastating.
"Brother Luo, no need for thanks."
Ye Yunfei smiled lightly and replied.
Afterward.
Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao continued exploring the depths of Sunset Mountains.
Two days later.
Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao reached an exceedingly remote mountain valley.
The valley was so isolated that it seldom saw any visitors.
At that moment.
In the valley, a group of a dozen men was besieging a young man.
The young man had extraordinary good looks and a distinguished temperament—clearly no ordinary person.
Though surrounded and battered by the dozen men, the young man kept resisting fiercely.
"Hahaha, Lin Fei, you're at death's door! Why struggle anymore? Just surrender and die!"
A tall and muscular man looked at the young man and sneered viciously.
The towering man was the leader of a notorious bandit gang in the Sunset Mountains, his strength belonging to the Intermediate Stage of the Mortal Transcendence Realm.
Few prey escaped his grasp once he set his sights on them.
At this point, he was utterly convinced that the young man already belonged to him.
"Hmph! If you think killing me will be easy, you're sorely mistaken!"
Despite the siege, the young man remained calm, continuing his relentless defense.
In his hand, he wielded a longsword that struck down a bandit with every swing, leaving screams and gushing blood in its wake.
"Lin Fei, your skills are decent, but today, you're doomed!"
The towering man grew furious seeing his men repeatedly fall. With a roar, he charged at the young man.
His black-bladed machete radiated fierce energy as it slashed toward the young man.
The youth named Lin Fei, facing the towering man's ferocious attack, suddenly grew more serious.
He knew that the man's Intermediate Stage Mortal Transcendence strength far surpassed his own.
Yet, instead of retreating, he advanced to meet the attack.
Swoosh!
Lin Fei's sword burst forth dazzling Sword Qi that clashed against the machete.
Rumble...
The longsword and machete collided, generating a deafening blast like thunder resonating through the valley.
Lin Fei felt a powerful force transmitting from the machete, forcing him to stagger backward repeatedly.
"Lin Fei, today is your end!"
The towering man roared again and rushed at Lin Fei once more.
His speed was astonishing—he reached Lin Fei in an instant, delivering another powerful strike.
Lin Fei's expression shifted as he retreated quickly.
But the man was faster and brought his blade down before Lin Fei could evade.
Left with no choice, Lin Fei raised his sword to block.
Clang!
The sword and machete collided again, producing a piercing metallic ring.
This time, Lin Fei was directly blasted away, smashing into a nearby peak and coughing up blood.
"Hahaha, Lin Fei, your end is here!"
The towering man laughed heartily when he saw Lin Fei injured.
With one stride, he closed in on Lin Fei, lifting his machete high to deliver the finishing blow.
Lin Fei's face turned pale, knowing his fate looked grim.
Just then.
Swoosh!
A razor-sharp Sword Qi suddenly shot across from a distance, reaching the towering man instantly.
The man panicked and hurriedly raised his machete to block.
With a loud crash.
The Sword Qi slammed into the machete, forcing the towering man to retreat repeatedly.
Lin Fei seized the chance to rise, his gaze shifting toward the distance.
Far off, two figures were rapidly approaching the valley.
One of them was Ye Yunfei.
The other was Luo Yao.
The sharp Sword Qi earlier was sent out by Ye Yunfei.
"Brother Ye, Brother Luo, you're here!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao, Lin Fei broke into a relieved smile.
"Lin Fei, are you alright?"
Luo Yao walked up to Lin Fei, voicing his concern.
"I'm fine."
Lin Fei shook his head.
By now, the towering man and his dozen subordinates had encircled Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao.
"Who are you, boy, daring to meddle in my business?"
The towering man glared at Ye Yunfei and demanded.
"Who I am doesn't matter.
What matters is that you threatened my friend, so all of you must die."
Ye Yunfei said calmly.
