Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 743 - 722: Protecting the Lord Leader!
It must be said that the wraiths within the gully were far stronger than those outside; at least, the wraith Ye Feng was facing now was much stronger than the one he had subdued and refined before. Its body had almost turned a dark red, and the malevolence it exuded was far denser and more powerful.
However, this was to be expected. After all, this was the real battlefield, where undoubtedly many unparalleled warriors must have fought!
Ye Feng moved swiftly and soon arrived, but on the way, he handed Hong Qingyan over to the two patriarchs of the Xiao Chi Families.
"Elders, please ensure her safety!" Ye Feng shouted.
"Rest assured, Lord Leader, with us here the lady will come to no harm. But Lord Leader, what are you..."
Before the patriarchs of the Xiao Chi Families could finish speaking, Ye Feng appeared beside Old Man Huang Niu, and at the same time, launched a direct attack on the dark red human-shaped wraith with his mental power.
Originally, this wraith was attacking Old Man Huang Niu and the others with full force, about to break through their golden protective shield, when suddenly, it saw a human race charging at it and provocatively attacking it.
Despite its residual spiritual wisdom, the wraith was immediately enraged. How dare this insignificant human challenge it? This was utterly insolent!
All of a sudden, the wraith let out a sharp cornering noise, then without any hesitation, turned around and charged towards Ye Feng.
Ye Feng did not take any defensive action, letting his opponent rush over and invade his body through the center of his eyebrows.
"Lord Leader..." The patriarchs of the Xiao Chi Families exclaimed in shock upon seeing this.
Though they could see the Lord Leader was trying to save Old Man Huang Niu and the others, they had never imagined that the Lord Leader would make no preparations for defense or counterattack. Ye Feng's actions just now looked as if he was offering himself up on a platter.
Old Man Huang Niu, however, was much calmer. After all, he had experienced something similar before, but he couldn't help but feel unsure; this wraith was much more formidable than the previous one, so it was natural for him to worry about Ye Feng.
Just at this critical moment, Hong Wuji, the Bu Family Patriarch, and others from the Four Great Powers rapidly descended from above, along with other great powers.
Counting quickly, there were more than twenty of them.
Old Man Huang Niu immediately said in a deep voice, "Protectors, quickly protect the Lord Leader!"
The two patriarchs from the Xiao Chi Families were the quickest to react. Despite being confused and unclear about why the Lord Leader had acted as he did, the urgent situation left no room for further thought, and in an instant, both were at Ye Feng's side, forming a triangular position with Old Man Huang Niu to safeguard Ye Feng.
Then, the Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm from Northwest Little Mountain Village, along with the Great Powers from the Xiao Chi Ancient Clan quickly moved towards Ye Feng and assumed a protective stance.
What was even more dire was that more wraiths were rushing in this direction. Fortunately, there were no other wraiths in this area, or the situation would have been perilous.
Hong Wuji and the others naturally noticed what was happening and stopped to hover in midair.
"What's going on over there? From the looks of it, could it be that Ye fellow has been attacked by a wraith's malevolent energy?" Hong Wuji asked.
"Impossible, it's not just malevolence. After all, everyone who came down has a magic treasure to fend off the malevolent energy. It must be a wraith. Judging by the situation, Ye Feng has probably been invaded by a wraith!" the Bu Family Patriarch uttered gravely.
"Hahaha, this is fantastic. What's this called again? This is called 'those who do evil bring about their downfall.' This kid actually dared to kill a Great Power of our Yin-Yang Temple, and now he gets his retribution!" Tian Chengjun and the other three Great Powers from the Yin-Yang Temple burst into laughter.
"Excellent, Ye Feng is now being invaded by a wraith. This is a wraith we're talking about; even we would be helpless if invaded and could only wait for death. It seems like this Ye fellow is doomed now!" Hong Wuji, too, smiled broadly.
Meanwhile, the Wizards from the Wizard Alliance and the Great Powers from the Vampire Divine Court started to shout frantically.
A Great Power from the Yin-Yang Mirror suddenly said gravely, "What should we do now? Should we take advantage of the situation and go finish off that Ye kid once and for all?"
"Charge in now, are you insane? Didn't you see more and more malevolent energy surging towards that side? If we go now, wouldn't we just be asking for trouble? Since the Ye kid is already a goner, why bother doing anything extra?" A Divine Lord from the Vampire Divine Court snapped.
"Indeed, there's no need to waste our effort. While the People of the Northwest and the Xiao Chi Ancient Clans can't break away, we should seize this opportunity to go down and get our hands on the treasure!" said the Bu Family Patriarch as he dashed downward towards the valley below.
Because of the commotion just now, most of the malevolent energy was heading towards Ye Feng's direction, while the Bu Family Patriarch and the others took advantage of the gap.
However, some malevolent energy did charge towards the Three Great Powers, but not much, and since every Great Power that came down had a special magic treasure to protect their bodies, their descent was only slightly affected by this malevolent energy, which couldn't breach their defenses.
But the further down they went, the more spatial rifts they encountered, and the space within the valley was extremely unstable, so they had to descend slowly and carefully, or else being caught in a spatial rift would almost certainly mean a life-and-death situation.
Meanwhile, Old Man Huang Niu and the others, upon seeing that the Great Powers from the Four Great Powers did not take the opportunity to charge at them, all heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, the combined strength of these Four Great Powers is not to be underestimated, and with Ye Feng's status unknown, the outcome of any conflict remains difficult to predict.
"Why did the new Lord Leader just rush over without resisting and allow the Wraith to invade his body?" asked the Ancestor of the Xiao Family, unable to hold back any longer.
"Yes, if it was just in his body, we could still help a bit, but now that it has invaded his body, we can only watch helplessly, unable to do anything. The Lord Leader was really too impulsive this time," complained the Patriarch of the Chi Family.
Old Man Huang Niu waved his hand and said, "You both don't know, last time we also faced an attack from a Wraith, and in the end, it was still thanks to the Lord Leader's intervention that we were able to exterminate the Wraith."
The Patriarchs of both the Xiao and Chi Families asked in unison, "Was the situation last time the same as this one?"
Old Man Huang Niu nodded and said, "Roughly the same. The Lord Leader also allowed the Wraith to invade his body before exterminating it. I too was scared out of my wits when I saw that unfold."
Having said this, Old Man Huang Niu chuckled and added, "Lord Leader is usually not a rash and impulsive person. Since he dares to do this, it means he is confident. Moreover, Lord Leader is, after all, the one chosen by Old Long, so naturally he has his own trump cards and methods."
"That's true, but we are still very worried. After all, this is a Wraith, no ordinary being. If things go wrong, it's very possible to become an idiot, or even fall into Deviation!" exclaimed the Chi Family Patriarch.
Old Man Huang Niu waved his hand and said, "Enough, there's no need to say more. Besides, saying anything now is pointless. We had better devote all our efforts to dealing with this malevolent energy. We must not let it invade our bodies, or we'll be in big trouble. What we can do now is wait, wait for the Lord Leader to wake up after exterminating the Wraith!"
In fact, at this very moment, despite Ye Feng's eyes being closed, he was fully aware of everything happening around him.
Just now, he was fully mobilizing the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll to suppress this Wraith, so he had no spare attention for anything else.
The moment the Wraith entered his body and invaded the Heavenly Heart Palace, Ye Feng had already deployed the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll to trap it inside.
The Wraith likewise launched an attack immediately, causing the entire scroll to shake repeatedly; Ye Feng's Heavenly Heart Palace also shook, and his consciousness blurred.
At this moment, Ye Feng even saw terrifying visions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with horrifying malice filling the space, his consciousness at risk of falling into corruption at any moment.
However, although the Wraith's malice was fierce, it was never able to break out of the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll, held tightly bound by the scroll. Therefore, Ye Feng's consciousness, although affected, was not seriously harmed.
Meanwhile, under Ye Feng's command, the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll emitted rays of Xuanhuang-colored light. The light shining on the Wraith soon produced a sizzling noise, much like the Wraith he faced before, gradually being refined.
"Ah... it hurts, it hurts so much, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please, please let me go!" Trapped firmly within the scroll, unable to escape, the Wraith could only watch as it was slowly refined.
"Let you go? That's impossible. From the moment you entered the scroll, you were destined to become my nourishment," Ye Feng said with a cold hum.
"No, I don't want to die, I don't want to disappear completely, please, let me go, I'd rather submit and be your servant forever!" the Wraith pleaded.
"Sorry, once I let you go, I won't be able to capture you again, so it's impossible to let you go, and I don't need your submission," Ye Feng coldly hummed, and maximized the activation of the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll. In a short while, the Wraith was completely refined, and then a golden energy grain, about the size of a soybean, appeared.
"Goodness, this drop of golden energy is much stronger than the previous Wraiths," Ye Feng thought excitedly. After all, cultivating spiritual power is very difficult, and these Wraiths are the best thing for advancement.
Without any hesitation, Ye Feng immediately absorbed the drop of golden energy. Given the extreme peril of the mountain valley, he naturally chose to maximize his Cultivation Strength.
Shortly after absorbing the golden energy, Ye Feng's Mental Power Nucleus had grown significantly larger, with his spiritual power being more than twice as strong as before. In addition, his previously pale golden Mental Power Nucleus now had a deeper golden hue.
"Great, at this rate, by exterminating a few more Wraiths, my Mental Power Nucleus should be able to undergo a complete transformation, achieving a qualitative leap," Ye Feng thought excitedly as he slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing this, the Patriarchs of Xiao Chi were overjoyed and eagerly asked, "Lord Leader, are you all right now? Has the Wraith indeed been destroyed by you?"
Ye Feng waved his hand and smiled, "A mere Wraith cannot trouble me. I apologize for causing concern to my seniors, and I thank everyone for their protection!"
Old Man Huang Niu couldn't help but laugh and say, "I knew it. Lord Leader is the Chosen One. Since he dares to do this, he must be sure of his ability to cope."
The Patriarchs of Xiao Chi nodded in agreement, both of them marveling internally at the selection by Old Long, recognizing Ye Feng's immense talent and potential. Not even thirty years old yet, his Cultivation Opportunity had already reached such heights.
Looking at this, it's not impossible that our Lord Leader may truly step into the Void Realm someday and become an unparalleled Great Power!
"Have Hong Wuji and the others gone down yet? Let's hurry up and follow; we can't let them get the upper hand!" Ye Feng said, reaching for Hong Qingyan's hand and quickly heading downwards.
