Chapter 865: Yang Fei Takes Action
"Thud... thud..."
Two bodies fell in the thickets.
The other three shadows rushing towards the Military Department members reacted swiftly, quickly distancing themselves. Someone raised an energy gun to fire, while another threw punches and palms to retaliate against their opponents.
"Bang!"
The energy gun fired successfully, the terrifying sound shattering the night's tranquility.
Cries of agony followed.
Among the attacking shadows, one was hit by the energy gun, blasted in half at the waist.
The other two engaged directly with the Military Department members. In haste, the two from the Military Department suffered significantly, each being slashed across the chest, sending them flying.
The enemy's appearance was far too sudden. Under the ambush, the patrol team led by Xiang Yunfei lost two dead and two injured, leaving only him and the one who killed an enemy with the energy gun unharmed.
Xiang Yunfei was both shocked and furious, never expecting that there would be enemies daring enough to break in here and commit violence.
Moreover, these five enemies were incredibly strong.
Their speed was astonishing, each radiating a chilling aura, eyes shining with a ghostly light in the darkness like wild beasts.
The two shadows who had killed two Military Department members charged at Xiang Yunfei.
Xiang Yunfei's pupils shrank, realizing their incredible speed while sensing a deathly stillness from them.

Under the faint moonlight, as the two enemies approached, Xiang Yunfei was terrified to notice that their faces were deathly pale, blood dripped from their mouths, and when they opened them, two long fangs were revealed.
They weren't even humans!
Legends of mysterious Western races flashed through Xiang Yunfei's mind, shocking him as he threw his fists with all his might.
"Boom boom!!"
The two Western alien race members felt the power of Xiang Yunfei's punch and responded with punches of their own.
With muffled grunts, the three clashed in an instant.
Xiang Yunfei felt the blood in his body churning, his fists burning with pain, sending him flying backward.
These two were incredibly strong; each could hold their own against him one-on-one. Fighting two at once, he was naturally sent flying.
In mid-air, Xiang Yunfei decisively shouted: "Retreat!"
There were four enemies, while on their side, two were already dead, two injured. Through this encounter, Xiang Yunfei realized the enemy far outmatched their side.
"Bang bang bang..."
The Military Department member who initially took down an enemy with an energy gun frantically targeted the enemy's shadows to shoot.
However, it was pointless.
After the first enemy was killed due to carelessness, the remaining four were wary and avoided direct confrontation with the energy gun. Instead, they used their frightening speed to maneuver through the woods, avoiding the gun's attacks.
The other two injured Military Department members were quickly engaged by their enemies. In mere moments, the two Military Department members were both sacrificed.
This team, except for Xiang Yunfei, who had reached the Innate Realm, primarily consisted of those in the Energy Transformation Eighth and Ninth Grade.
Even though they were skillful combatants honed in the military, they had no power to fight back against these Western aliens, obviously stronger and causing surprise under ambush.
Xiang Yunfei watched as four of his comrades fell instantly around him, feeling as if his liver and gall bladder were torn apart.
Yet he knew better than to fight desperately.
Thus, he desperately pulled along the comrade who managed to fend off enemies with the energy gun, swiftly retreating towards the base while letting out a loud whistle to alert the base of the night attack.
Since its establishment, Yunwu Mountain's Base had been regarded as the most secret military base on the Divine Continent.
Especially after the Hidden Sect rebellion, the strongest ground troops were stationed there even more so.
When Xiang Yunfei and his team were attacked, as the first energy gun shot sounded, the base garrison reacted swiftly, pinpointing the conflict zone at once. Drones quickly deployed, and the Military Department personnel took action, with several helicopters soon arriving from above.
But soon, the command center was left dumbfounded.
As drones approached the battlefield, they could only detect two of their own figures.
In the darkness, relying on thermal imaging to search for enemy targets, the drones found no trace of the enemy, unable to target them accurately.
This sight left the command center in shock—were they encountering ghosts?
Shortly, the helicopters arrived. Through spotlights, they could occasionally spot shadows in the dense woods pursuing Xiang Yunfei and another Military Department member. But when they tried to target them using instruments, they were horrified to find the instruments couldn't detect those shadows.
"Special situation: the enemies seem to be wearing special clothing that shields heat, making it impossible for instruments to lock onto their trails."
"Drones cannot lock onto the enemy either."
"Not good, they realize they're surrounded and are trying to escape."
"Helicopters, follow them; do not let them escape."
"But their speed is incredible, and thermal imagers can't detect them. Tracking in the dense woods at night is difficult."
"Request immediate Military Department ground support and tracking; we cannot let the enemies escape."
...
Yunwu Mountain's Base.
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang didn't cultivate today; they rested early instead.
Although cultivation can recover one's spirit, the restorative feeling natural sleep provides is much more nostalgic.
After the major upheaval, this was the first time the couple gathered peacefully, doing nothing but wishing to sleep in each other's embrace.
The sound of the energy gun firing came from afar, waking Qin Yanyang first.
Yang Fei, with his Physical Body Realm collapsed, lacked sensitivity while asleep and heard nothing, continuing to sleep soundly.
Qin Yanyang glanced at him, getting up gently.
Yang Fei was startled awake: "What's up, darling, where are you going?"
Qin Yanyang, seeing she woke him, apologized: "It's nothing, continue sleeping; I'll go and take a look."
Yang Fei, now awake, couldn't sleep again. Just about to speak, he faintly heard a gunshot, his expression changed: "Did someone fire?"
Qin Yanyang nodded gravely: "Yes, it's the sound of an energy gun, likely a discovery by the patrols outside."
Yang Fei's eyes gleamed coldly: "Who dares to intrude in here?"
Qin Yanyang snorted: "Now, to hostile forces, both domestic and foreign, the Yunwu Mountain's Base is a treasure trove. They all want to explore its secrets. I originally thought they'd come when the Hidden Sect Plane collapsed, didn't expect them to wait so long. Honey, stay here, I'll go check it out."
Yang Fei laughed: "Are you treating me like a useless person? Come, let's go take a look together."
Qin Yanyang quickly said: "No, I just think it's unnecessary to disturb us both. I'll go alone."
Yang Fei smiled at her words, decisively said: "Alright then, you needn't go. Let your husband have a look."
With that, he sat cross-legged, closing his eyes.
Qin Yanyang watched him suddenly do this, her expression changed, curiously staring at him.
At that moment, Yang Fei released his Divine Thought.
This vast and powerful Divine Thought materialized as if tangible, causing Qin Yanyang's soul to tremble, feeling an unprecedented oppressive terror.
Outside the room, Hu Lizhong, who had also been alarmed, just rushed out of his room to head towards the gunshots he heard, but suddenly felt his heart tighten, his scalp tingling.
He looked up, seeing nothing.
But the fear of being overlooked from high above, as if the other could wipe him out with a single thought, made him shiver uncontrollably.
What a formidable Divine Thought!
