The Three Thousand Bandits are clearly a more disciplined force. Although the individual combat strength of these Rogue Bandits is lacking, their collective power is enough to trap a Martial Saint!
The average strength of the Rogue Bandits is around the fifth level of the Origin Martial Realm. Among the small leaders, there are not a few experts from the Gangwu Realm. However, these leaders remain at the back of the group, methodically directing their subordinates to continuously assault the defenses of the two Martial Saints!
The sounds of battle are incessant, with weapons clashing and blood flying everywhere. Under the release of waves of Vital Energy, groups of Rogue Bandits are thrown into the air like parabolas. However, it turns out that this seemingly suicidal behavior is not without effect!
The techniques employed by the two Martial Saints gradually slow down. It seems that after sacrificing a significant number of Rogue Bandits, their stamina has finally begun to wane. The truth that numbers matter remains undeniable below the Divine Martial Realm; unless one reaches the legendary Divine Human Realm, where one can stand against thousands,
even Martial Saints cannot remain unscathed under such continuous assaults!
At this moment, the leaders of the Rogue Bandits, who are solely focused on countering the Martial Saints, seem unaware that several even more powerful figures are lurking just above them on the hillside!
Ye Feng and his companions initially intended to observe but were taken aback by such a brutal scene of slaughter. However, they are perceptive enough to realize that if things continue as they are, within a short time, this group of Rogue Bandits will likely lose a significant portion of their numbers.
But what they gain in return is the dire situation of two Martial Saints. Ye Feng seems to have noticed the expressions on the faces of those leaders waiting for reinforcements; otherwise, those mounted individuals would not show no signs of panic when facing experts from the Xuanwu Realm!
"What should we do? Should we help?" The Flying Spirit Lion asked calmly beside him. The fate of humans has never concerned him, yet he still seeks Ye Feng's affirmation.
Ye Feng remained silent, uncertain about what to do. After all, if they went down and fell into an ambush set by reinforcements, it could spell disaster for them as well!
"Senior, what do you think?" In his hesitation, he had no choice but to leave the dilemma to his seniors, Qianjizi and Zhu Feng!
However, these two could also see the danger in going down to provide assistance and remained equally silent. They could not clearly identify those trapped individuals, but from their aura, it seemed they were not from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Since that was the case, it appeared unnecessary for them to take such risks alone!
Just as the atmosphere became somewhat tense, the situation at the bottom suddenly reversed! The two Martial Saints erupted with explosive power and launched a devastating attack that opened a gap in the encirclement formed by the Rogue Bandits! This caused chaos among the Rogue Bandit leaders as they shouted frantically about something!
Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and was shocked to discover that those two Martial Saints were actually charging toward their direction!
"Hmph, I'm afraid we've already been discovered by those two. They see that we are reluctant to help, so they have turned their attention this way. If we don't leave now, we will inevitably be drawn into the battle. Humans, oh humans, are as insidious as ever!" Flying Spirit Lion said incisively.
Ye Feng was taken aback and felt somewhat awkward, while Qianjizi and Zhu Feng looked at Flying Spirit Lion with strange expressions, feeling that something was off about his words.
At this moment, the leader of the Rogue Bandits at the bottom seemed to have reacted as well. After giving a command, no fewer than a hundred Rogue Bandits surged forward to begin their pursuit. Behind them, a row of crossbowmen stood ready, their arrows glinting coldly in the night, sending chills down one's spine.
This was practically the formation of a regular army! It seemed that Lan Yuanfeng had greatly underestimated the strength of these Rogue Bandits.
However, Ye Feng and the others had no time to angrily curse the deceased Lan Yuanfeng. They quickly realized that with the speed of those two Martial Saints, it wouldn't take long for them to shift their attention entirely to this side!
"Forget it! We retreat!" Ye Feng thought quickly and decisively said. Since those two mysterious figures acted this way, he didn't want to take any risks! He thought that if those two Martial Saints couldn't be defeated, surely they could still escape!
This suggestion was immediately affirmed by Qianjizi and Zhu Feng! But just as they were about to move, Wang Wei and the others froze in place, their expressions complex. Then they shouted, "It's Elder Lei!"
"And Elder Yang! Our reinforcements have arrived!" Liao Fan said in surprise.
As soon as these words fell, Ye Feng and the others abandoned their previous thoughts. They exchanged glances, not expecting things to develop this way! Their eyes refocused on the two approaching Martial Saints and they were astonished to find that they were indeed wearing the distinctive elder robes of Taiyi Tower and Azure Thunder Sect!
"Well, now we have no choice but to help!" Before Ye Feng could say anything, Qianjizi sighed. Although there were intrigues among the Three Great Heavenly-Level Sects of Sky Abyss Empire, when facing evil forces, they would always unite against a common enemy!
Zhu Feng remained silent for a moment before saying, "Since they are allies, then let's simply wipe out this group of Rogue Bandits!"
As soon as he said this, Wang Wei and Liao Fan showed expressions of gratitude! If these elders were unwilling to help them, relying solely on their own strength would have been impossible!
At this moment, Sky-Soaring Spirit Lion mocked, "What time is it? Why are you still concerned with such useless matters? Haven't you noticed that large forces are already converging from all directions? Surely they can't be your people!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. As the Divine Consciousness was unleashed, the fluctuations coming from various directions were indeed as he said, clearly audible. Previously, they had only focused on the movements at the bottom, drowned out by the sounds of battle; only Divine Consciousness could discern these signals!
"This won't do. I'll lead those two away; you all go first! We can't let ourselves be discovered completely!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth and said.
Qianjizi and the others immediately opposed, "No! If we're going, we go together. You can't take any more risks!" They had finally found Ye Feng within the Underground Palace. Although he had saved them, they could not afford to be careless in this situation. What if something unexpected happened? How could they bear it?
Ye Feng bitterly replied, "If we go together, we'll just become targets. I'll be safer alone. Didn't you see those crossbow bolts? They haven't fired yet because they're waiting for those two Martial Saints to reach halfway up this Summit; that's the easiest place to expose and strike! The more people there are, the more troublesome it becomes!"
Hearing this, Qianjizi and the others showed difficult expressions. Wang Wei and the others were already anxious, their blood rushing to their heads, and without thinking twice, they planned to charge down!
The Flying Spirit Lion acted quickly and stopped him, coldly shouting, "Are you trying to die? Don't drag us down!"
The aura of the Xuanwu Realm was released, frightening Wang Wei into not acting impulsively again. At that moment, a chilling sound came from below!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The arrows were on the string and could not be held back! The sound of arrows slicing through the air was terrifying!
Ye Feng suddenly looked down and roared, "You all hurry and leave! I'll hold them off! Don't hesitate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless crossbow bolts were already approaching their target! There was a series of loud bangs! These were actually runic-powered crossbow bolts!
"Damn it! Where did these Rogue Bandits find such Spellcasters? Who are they?!" Qianjizi and the others were alarmed. A unit enhanced by a Spellcaster was akin to having an Array Master; typically, only the most elite forces of an empire would be paired with Spellcasters or Array Masters.
Yet this group of Rogue Bandits below them appeared to be a rabble but exhibited a terrifying level of power!
"Ye Feng is right! No more hesitation; follow me!" Qianjizi understood that there was no room for debate at this moment. He also realized that once Ye Feng made a decision, even he as Hall Master could not stop him. Moreover, upon careful consideration, with Ye Feng's extraordinary strength, he was indeed the most suitable for saving others!
As soon as Qianjizi spoke, Wang Wei and the others dared not linger any longer and quickly followed him, retreating in another direction. However, the Flying Spirit Lion stayed behind.
"You are playing with fire..."
"I know..."
"Then why do you have to do this? You could leave on your own!"
"That's something you don't understand. Besides being treacherous, what is most precious about us humans is our humanity!" Ye Feng took a deep breath and said.
The Flying Spirit Lion was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "What a concept of humanity! It seems that the spirit of this spirit beast must bow down in admiration!"
Ye Feng was stunned and shook his head: "You should go. You really don't need to follow me!"
The Flying Spirit Lion lowered its head and said somewhat cryptically: "You should understand that if the Rogue Bandits from all directions really come to rescue, even you won't be able to escape!"
"I know, but I still want to give it a try!" Ye Feng said with determination in his eyes.
The Flying Spirit Lion seemed to have already guessed his answer and calmly replied: "Then let me assist you. With me around, at least there's a chance of survival!"
Ye Feng frowned; did that mean if he were alone, there would be no chance of survival?
"Here they come!" At that moment, the Flying Spirit Lion became serious.
Ye Feng was startled and immediately sensed two powerful auras approaching! It seemed that those two Martial Saints had not been deterred by the Spellcaster or the Rogue Bandits' crossbows after all!
"When the Rogue Bandits catch up later, we need someone to buy time and lead that group of Rogue Bandits in a direction where there are no people. Only then can we divert the Rogue Bandits coming from all sides!" Ye Feng said quickly, not daring to delay any longer.
The Flying Spirit Lion paused slightly and asked, "And then?"
"And then?" Ye Feng revealed a hint of a bitter smile. "Then, we leave it to fate. If we can escape from the pursuit and encirclement of the Rogue Bandits, we will meet up with Senior Qianjizi. If not, then we just have to accept our fate!"
"Who will lead those Rogue Bandits away?" The Flying Spirit Lion had an uneasy feeling.
"It won't be you, nor will it be them..." Ye Feng said in a low voice. At that moment, Yangzi and Thundercloud Step finally appeared before them!
Their first meeting was in a state of disarray. Compared to their previous spirited demeanor, Yangzi and Thundercloud Step were no longer in their ethereal forms; they were covered in bloodstains, most of which were likely from the Rogue Bandits. This was enough to showcase the severity of the battle they had just endured.
Seeing the astonished and pale expressions on their faces, Ye Feng couldn't afford to be angry. He directly revealed his identity and said, "The surviving disciples and our Hall Master went in that direction. Now, you should hurry and escape to meet up with them!"
He pointed towards the direction where Qianjizi and the others had left. Yangzi and Thundercloud Step didn't have time to express their gratitude; they only said with complex emotions, "We won't forget this great kindness. If there is ever a chance to meet again with you, we will surely repay you generously!"
Before Ye Feng could respond, the Flying Spirit Lion sarcastically interjected, "No need for this act. The route you took to escape was calculated by you. Since we are willing to help draw away the Rogue Bandits, there's no need for you to pretend!"
This statement was quite a slap in the face but was also true...
