Chapter 31

Ye Feng crouched in the grass, not daring to breathe heavily, tightly gripping the letter containing secrets that his mother had given him.

The young girl seemed to be injured, the long rainbow-like aura behind her beginning to wither, entangled by a dark gas, her vital energy unstable.

The man who had just spoken had a lecherous smile on his face. The three men behind him were all at the peak of the Ninth Level of the Later Heaven Realm, grinning ferociously as they looked at the girl, their mouths almost drooling.

"Li Tiansheng, you have a lot of nerve, actually using poison to harm Senior Sister. When we return to the academy, I will make sure you are punished according to the rules of the sect," the girl panted heavily, the poison clearly starting to take effect, causing her great discomfort.

"Senior Sister, are you really that foolish? Even at this critical moment, you still talk tough. There's not a single person around here, only us brothers. As long as you submit to us, I can promise to let you go," the man who spoke was named Li Tiansheng. It seemed they had been plotting for a long time, luring the girl to this place.

"You are despicable!" the girl shouted angrily. Li Tiansheng had been lusting after her beauty for a long time, and this time he had committed such a heinous act, secretly poisoning her during this training session and forcing her to this place.

"Senior Sister, you speak well, but there will be even more despicable things to come!" Li Tiansheng was not at all concerned. No matter what, he was determined to get Qi Ruomei today. A look of possessiveness flashed in his eyes, and he wished he could pounce on her right now.

Ye Feng looked at the girl. She was tall and slender, with delicate skin that seemed almost translucent, her skin like fine jade, exuding a faint fragrance. Her black hair, glossy and elegant, framed her face, and her clear, transparent eyes were like a lake, her lips as beautiful as roses, slightly upturned, and so alluring that one would want to kiss them. Unfortunately, her face was now filled with anger.

"So beautiful!" Ye Feng thought to himself. No wonder Li Tiansheng wanted to possess her so strongly.

From their conversation, Ye Feng could easily deduce that Li Tiansheng and the others had secretly drugged her and forced her to this place, planning to take action in this desolate valley.

What shocked Ye Feng even more was that these people were wearing the uniforms of the Tianling Academy, but not from the Outer Court, rather from the Inner Court. Therefore, Ye Feng did not dare to act rashly. Although he now had the strength of the Early Heaven Realm, he had never fought against someone at that level. He decided to observe the situation and only intervene if necessary.

Li Tiansheng gave a signal, and the three men behind him surrounded the girl, forming a circle to prevent her from escaping.

"Senior Sister, just give up quietly. It will be better for everyone if we don't have to use force and hurt you."

Li Tiansheng slowly approached, still fearing Qi Ruomei. After all, she was at the Early Heaven Realm, while he was at the Middle Heaven Realm. If she hadn't been poisoned, these people would have been easily killed by her.

"Even if I die, I will not let you succeed!" A streak of colorful light flew from the girl's hand, a pair of collar-like weapons, spinning rapidly, with many bells on them, making a pleasant tinkling sound. They didn't look like weapons but more like musical instruments.

The collars drew two circles, attacking Li Tiansheng's entire body. Using true qi to control weapons from a distance was only possible at the Early Heaven Realm. Ye Feng watched carefully, not wanting to miss any opportunity. Such a battle was extremely beneficial to him.

Li Tiansheng did not dare to be careless, holding a long sword and slashing it to deflect the collars.

"Clang!"

A wave of air surged, and Li Tiansheng's body was pushed back, almost being swept away by the air wave. The girl, though poisoned, still had considerable power.

The collars returned and continued to attack Li Tiansheng. The girl needed to end the fight quickly because she felt her true qi rapidly disappearing. This poison was very powerful, capable of dispersing her true qi.

Li Tiansheng was not in a hurry, stepping back and using his long sword to deflect the collars, his movements neither too fast nor too slow.

"Senior Sister, do you feel your true qi rapidly disappearing? The faster you attack, the faster your true qi disappears."

Li Tiansheng laughed lecherously, feeling the force from the collars weakening, knowing that the poison was taking effect.

Qi Ruomei's face turned ashen. If she did not act, her true qi would be gradually consumed. Attacking only accelerated the consumption of her true qi. A look of determination flashed in her eyes. Even if she died, she would not let these men defile her.

Suddenly, the long rainbow-like aura behind her intensified, suppressing the black gas. The collars spun even faster, as if sensing their owner's distress. The two collars suddenly merged into a large, curved bow, with a shadow appearing on it, like an arrow.

"Bad!" Li Tiansheng seemed to fear this move, drawing his long sword to create a sword barrier to block the arrow.

Ye Feng watched in awe, his eyes fixed on every move of the two. He saw more changes in martial techniques, wondering if these were Early Heaven Realm techniques. At the Early Heaven Realm, most of the techniques practiced were Early Heaven Realm techniques. Ye Feng's best technique was the Xue Tian Axe, which was only a mid-level technique.

The shadow shot out, transforming into a fierce light, piercing through the air, leaving a trail of sparks.

"Clang!"

The sword barrier shattered, unable to block the arrow. In an instant, it appeared before Li Tiansheng, who was shocked. He quickly shook his long sword, creating a sword aura that cut through the air with a hissing sound.

"Clang!"

The surroundings were in turmoil, the grass in the distance swaying like a hurricane, forming waves. Fortunately, Ye Feng was well hidden, or he would have been exposed.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A series of bangs echoed in the air, the arrow disappearing. Li Tiansheng, holding his long sword, looked extremely pale, his clothes mostly torn, and even blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Qi Ruomei's angry attack had almost severely injured him.

The collars returned to Qi Ruomei's hands, and she staggered, almost falling. Her true qi was completely depleted, and she could barely stand. She had lost even the ability to commit suicide.

Li Tiansheng's face was twisted with rage, slowly approaching Qi Ruomei. The previous attack had almost cost him his life. If her true qi hadn't run out, he would have been killed by that move.

"Ha, ha, ha! I see how you can resist now!" Li Tiansheng, seeing that Qi Ruomei's true qi had dissipated and the poison had taken effect, laughed sharply, a sound that was very piercing.

"You will not die a good death!" The girl's body retreated, trembling, thinking of his sinister appearance, a wave of sorrow rising in her heart.

"Rest assured, we will take good care of you!" The four men, with their lecherous smiles, slowly approached the girl, and she was retreating in the direction of Ye Feng.

The four men's eyes glowed like those of wild beasts, their lecherous laughter echoing in the valley. One of the men had already stripped off his shirt.

Qi Ruomei laughed bitterly, two tears streaming down her cheeks, her vision gradually blurring as the poison began to attack her heart.

Ye Feng clenched his fists, his heart burning with anger. These four men were no different from beasts. He drew the axe from his waist, waiting for the right moment. Ye Feng had only one chance to act, and he could not be careless against someone at the Early Heaven Realm.

The distance grew closer, and the girl had retreated over ten steps. Ye Feng tightly gripped the axe, and the four men seemed completely focused on the girl, not noticing Ye Feng crouching in the grass.

At the Early Heaven Realm, one could project their spirit, and even at a distance of several dozen meters, everything was clear. However, Li Tiansheng, blinded by lust, had ignored the surroundings, wishing he could pounce on her right now.

At that moment, an axe mark appeared, bursting out from behind the girl, a fierce and powerful strike, capable of destroying heaven and earth.

"Xue Tian Axe!"

Ye Feng used his strongest move, his body shooting up, the force pressing down, the air exploding with a loud sound. Ye Feng appeared in mid-air.

"Who is attacking from behind!"

Li Tiansheng, being the closest and the target of Ye Feng's attack, was the first to see Ye Feng's shadow, and he roared in anger, his long sword appearing and sweeping across the axe mark.

The girl saw someone hiding there, a shadow flashing before her eyes, and then she lost consciousness, her body falling into the grass.

The axe mark struck the long sword fiercely, and Ye Feng's ambush unleashed the power of three flying dragons, sweeping across the area. Li Tiansheng, forced to counterattack, was at a disadvantage in mobilizing his true qi, his strength greatly reduced, not even reaching half.

"Boom!"

A wave of force rippled like a tide, rolling out in layers, impacting the surroundings. The grass rustled, and the three men behind Li Tiansheng, caught off guard, were swept away by the force, landing ten meters away.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Li Tiansheng, unable to dodge, was pushed back, suffering a powerful impact. The power of the three flying dragons made him suffer, almost being split by the axe.

"Spit!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Li Tiansheng was injured. He had already been lightly injured by Qi Ruomei's attack, and now, with another blow from Ye Feng, his internal organs were shaken, his face turning pale.

He glared at Ye Feng, his body radiating a killing aura. When he saw that Ye Feng was only at the Eighth Level of the Later Heaven Realm, his killing intent grew even stronger.

Ye Feng's body did not stop, his foot stepping down, disappearing from the spot, and he shot into the air, delivering another fierce strike, his momentum even stronger.

"Boy, who are you, and why are you ruining my plans?"

Ye Feng ignored Li Tiansheng's roar, his attack speed increasing. He had only one chance and could not give the other any breathing room.

One strike after another, continuous and unbroken, in the blink of an eye, Ye Feng had delivered five strikes, each one stronger than the last, the power stacking like waves, each impact stronger than the previous one.

"Boom!"

After delivering ten consecutive strikes, Ye Feng finally seized the opportunity, striking Li Tiansheng with a powerful blow. The sound of bones breaking echoed in the valley.

"Crack!"

Li Tiansheng felt several ribs in his chest shatter, another mouthful of blood spewing out. He was extremely frustrated, as Ye Feng did not give him any chance, continuously pressing the attack.

Just as he was about to mobilize his true qi, Ye Feng's axe struck again, this time with even more ferocity, transforming into a flying dragon, roaring as it fiercely slashed Li Tiansheng.
