The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 917 [Attack]
Phoenix also came over, now extremely curious.
"He’s probably trying to fully awaken the strange power within me. I don’t know what benefit this is to him. The power inside me is incredibly terrifying. Asura has witnessed this firsthand. If it’s fully awakened, even Aquino and his people won’t be able to control it!" said Ye Chenfeng.
Asura nodded gravely: "Yes, it’s terrifying. If it were me, I couldn’t suppress it at all. But what is Aquino trying to do?"
Phoenix was completely confused; she didn’t know what had happened.
"Doesn’t matter. After all, this power is in me. Unless I willingly give it up, no one else can remove it from me!" said Ye Chenfeng.
Asura nodded, agreeing that Ye Chenfeng was right. If he wasn’t willing, no one could take the terrifying power from him.
"What exactly are you talking about?" Phoenix asked anxiously.
Ye Chenfeng smiled and looked at Phoenix: "Alright, Phoenix, if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll tell you! For now, let’s leave; it’s probably getting dark outside!"
"Alright!"
Then, Asura led the way, and the three of them cautiously left.
Along the way, Ye Chenfeng was pondering what Aquino wanted to do with that power. From Phoenix and Asura, he learned about what had just happened, and there was blood flowing in the channel.
This reminded him of the time in the Ancient Tomb, where a giant millstone was powered by the blood of children flowing through the channels. Wasn’t it used by Gan Luo for alchemy? And the ceremony was somewhat similar! The power within him was obtained from a character on that millstone. It wasn’t surprising that Aquino would covet the power within him.
Oh! Children!
Ye Chenfeng suddenly recalled the three trucks of children that he and Asura had seen. The local armed warlords definitely wouldn’t need dead children.
The only explanation is that these dead children were being sent to the Soul Hiding family, prepared by Aquino for himself.
"Aquino, it seems you’ve prepared everything for me!" Ye Chenfeng murmured.
"And the so-called sorcery, I bet it’s a diversion, initially placed on Phoenix but actually transferred to me. This thing surely has a significant purpose and is closely linked to your goal, wouldn’t you say?"
Ye Chenfeng showed a hint of a smile. Unlike Phoenix, the sorcery had been transferred onto him for quite a while, yet he felt no strange sensations.
After all, according to Aquino, the sorcery on him should be much more domineering than the one on Phoenix, but so far, nothing has happened.
So Ye Chenfeng suspected Aquino deliberately designed it this way, that the so-called sorcery is actually used to trigger his power.
This time the three of them skillfully and quickly made their way out of the forest in front of the Soul Hiding family.
Even in the dark night, with the bright moonlight, they could clearly see the scene ahead. An endless forest, like a vast ocean, resembling the open maw of an ancient beast ready to devour anyone who enters!
Nonetheless, Ye Chenfeng and his companions still hoped to leave as soon as possible. The thought of spending a night in the Soul Hiding family’s residence was unbearable to them.
"Divine King, we’ve arrived!" Phoenix said to Ye Chenfeng not far.
This was the place Phoenix and Wen Lai had planned in advance. Wen Lai was waiting here with his people.
The terrain on the edge was peculiar. In front was an endless forest, behind was a meter-high earth embankment, and in the middle was a narrow buffer zone. If described as a battlefield, Ye Chenfeng and his group were now surrounded! Ambushed from all sides!
Yet Ye Chenfeng just glanced lightly, a sense of vigilance appearing in his eyes.
"Miss Jiang Yunyan, you’re out!" A cheerful voice came from afar, along with gradually clearing figures.
The leader was surprisingly Wen Lai. Beside him was the person they saw earlier today, followed by eight strong men in black attire.
"Oh, wasn’t today dangerous? So I specifically got a few experts to accompany us," Wen Lai explained.
"Oh, oh!"
Phoenix nodded.
Amid roaring sounds, two vehicles drove out from behind.
"Miss Jiang Yunyan, please get in the car!" Wen Lai invited.
Then, Ye Chenfeng boarded the car behind.
However, Ye Chenfeng’s face remained unsettlingly somber, especially his eyes narrowed to slits, as if some dazzling light was shining upon them. Noticing this, Phoenix couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"
Just settling into his seat, Ye Chenfeng suddenly shouted!
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Since they were in the back compartment, Asura, as if hyped up, smashed against the car door, which unexpectedly flew off. In a split second, he distanced himself from the vehicle.
Ye Chenfeng and Phoenix reacted quickly, jumping out right after.
"Explode!"
At the same time, Wen Lai in the front car showed a look of killing intent, fiercely pressing the red button on the remote in his hand!
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A series of earth-shaking explosions erupted as if they were going to shatter the heavens. Flames soared like fire dragons, and scorching waves billowed, damaging surrounding trees! Countless shrapnel scattered violently, causing significant destructive force!
"Damn, this is interesting!" Asura chuckled,
"Divine King, are you all okay?" Asura promptly asked.
"We’re fine!"
"They’re not dead! Kill them for me!"
Wen Lai roared angrily. Immediately, dozens of figures appeared from the earth embankment behind them, all armed to the teeth with gun emblems clearly showing: a ship symbol was embroidered on them.
These are people from the Philippine Salt Gang!
"Ratatat..."
A barrage of bullets rained down, covering the area and forming a net of dazzling fire, instantly suppressing Ye Chenfeng and his group’s movements.
Ye Chenfeng directly stated: "Into the forest!"
Asura was taken aback, unable to help but say, "Divine King, the forest is bound to have ambushes! Let me handle them first?"
But Ye Chenfeng’s resolve was unprecedented: "Into the forest, trust me, it’s the right move!"
"We’re heading into the forest!" Phoenix echoed, trusting Ye Chenfeng unconditionally.
"Okay!"
Asura also agreed, following Ye Chenfeng into the woods!
"Go!"
The three of them suddenly sprang up. Under the cover of car debris, they dashed into the vast, dark ocean-like forest.
"Ratatat..."
Seeing Ye Chenfeng and his group escaping, those from the Philippine Salt Gang grabbed their submachine guns and other weapons, firing indiscriminately.
"Haha, entering the forest is certain death!" one of Wen Lai’s followers, Marcos, laughed to Wen Lai.
