The Demon Serpent Leader opened its massive mouth once more, releasing a toxic mist that had accumulated over the years. However, having learned from previous encounters, the Demon Serpent Leader did not remain fixed in one position this time. Instead, it swayed its head, enveloping its entire body in the poisonous fog.
For an ordinary person, it would be impossible to track the Demon Serpent Leader's movements. Fortunately, Ye Feng had the assistance of Soul Thought; despite the obstructed vision, he could firmly lock onto the location of the Demon Serpent Leader and perceive its every move.
Within the toxic mist, the Demon Serpent Leader suddenly turned around, its tail sweeping horizontally and striking directly at Ye Feng through the fog.
Ye Feng had anticipated this action and swiftly activated Wind Treading Step, his figure blurring as he evaded the thunderous strike.
The Demon Serpent Leader clearly did not expect its powerful attack to miss. Its massive body lost balance and crashed heavily to the ground. At that moment, Ye Feng unleashed a sword strike aimed at the Demon Serpent Leader's tail.
With a light sound, the scales on the tail offered no defense against the Azure Dragon Sword's strike. The power of the sword, infused with terrifying Thunder Vital Energy, unleashed arcs of electricity that struck against the wounded tail.
The Demon Serpent Leader let out a roar, its furious eyes fixed on Ye Feng. Its body twisted and retreated into the mist, filled with fear and hesitating to launch another attack.
Ye Feng's earlier strike had penetrated deeply, but it also became tainted with toxic mist. The Azure Dragon Sword emitted a hissing sound as it corroded upon contact with the mist.
"This beast's toxic mist is truly terrifying," Ye Feng thought to himself. As a profound-grade weapon, he was surprised that even the Azure Dragon Sword could not withstand the corrosion of the mist.
He quickly released a wave of Vital Energy to cleanse the toxic mist from his sword before cautiously retracting it.
Upon closer inspection of his sword, Ye Feng felt a pang of pain; the tip of the Azure Dragon Sword had been severely corroded by the toxic mist. If it absorbed any more of that mist, this treasured sword that had accompanied him for so long would likely be ruined.
Having witnessed the horror of the toxic mist, Ye Feng no longer dared to act recklessly. His initial plan to use Vitality Shield to rush into the mist and attack the Demon Serpent Leader was abandoned.
After failing its ambush and suffering significant damage, the Demon Serpent Leader was also reluctant to attack Ye Feng again. It could only shrink its massive body within the fog, remaining still for an extended period.
After a tense standoff, the Demon Serpent Leader finally moved.
Its large mouth suddenly opened wide, sucking in part of the surrounding lingering toxic mist. Then its entire body trembled as it straightened up, and with a powerful swing of its tail against the ground, it shot toward a rock wall like a giant arrow.
The ground trembled as debris flew everywhere. Ye Feng had no time to think and quickly dodged flying stones while activating Wind Treading Step to swiftly follow behind the Demon Serpent Leader.
With the rebound force from the Ground and the powerful thrust of his flesh wings, Ye Feng, even when executing the Wind Treading Step to its highest realm, moving as fast as lightning, was still pulled away from the Demon Serpent Leader.
However, Ye Feng was not worried because although this area was much more spacious than the Passage in the cave, it still seemed extremely narrow for the massive body of the Demon Serpent Leader. If they were on the Ground, the Demon Serpent Leader might escape with this move, but in the cave, there was simply no room for it to maneuver.
"Has this beast gone mad? Suddenly moving at such speed, doesn't it fear crashing into the rock wall?" Ye Feng thought while closely pursuing from behind and dodging the poisonous mist occasionally spat out by the serpent, filled with doubt.
The Demon Serpent Leader did not charge towards the other two openings but headed straight for a rock wall, which puzzled him greatly.
"Is there something strange about that rock wall?" Ye Feng quickly summoned his Soul Thought to probe into the rock wall that the Demon Serpent Leader was rushing toward.
"Oh no, there’s actually another Secret Cave behind that rock wall!" The anomaly sensed by his Soul Thought startled Ye Feng. It turned out that in the direction where the Demon Serpent Leader charged, there was only a thin layer of mountain stone covering what was actually another hidden cave entrance.
Ye Feng gathered all his Vital Energy and pushed his Wind Treading Step to its limits. Unfortunately, he was still a beat slow. Suddenly, a loud rumble echoed ahead as the Demon Serpent Leader crashed through that layer of mountain stone and swiftly entered the cave.
Ye Feng followed closely behind, but a wave of green poisonous mist immediately spread out as the serpent, upon entering the cave, did not forget to expel its last breath of poison at the entrance.
With both hands raised in front of him, two Tide Sound Palms infused with Wind Elemental Force were unleashed just in time to disperse the incoming poisonous mist. At the same time, Ye Feng used this force to flip back and evade the remaining poison.
"What a clever tactic!" Ye Feng steadied himself and peered into the bottomless cave entrance, letting out a bitter laugh.
Although this Winged Serpent Leader only possessed Fifth Stage strength, its intelligence was likely no less than that of a human. After all, it was the leader of the Flying Wing Serpent clan; such cunning truly impressed him.
"Should I pursue or not?" Ye Feng found himself in a dilemma. The cave was pitch black; if he followed inside, he had no idea what new dangers he might encounter.
Just as he hesitated endlessly, several screams suddenly came from behind him.
Ye Feng's heart sank as he quickly turned to look at the disciples of Golden Cloud Palace behind him.
While Ye Feng and the Demon Serpent Leader were engaged in fierce combat, other Flying Wing Serpents had launched a brutal attack on the disciples of Golden Cloud Palace.
Cheng Xiaofeng was indeed a master at Yuanwu Eighth Layer. With a Mysterious Gold Sword in hand, he danced it skillfully despite being surrounded by four Fourth-Stage Winged Serpents; he showed no signs of weakness.
The ones screaming in horror were the disciples of Golden Cloud Palace, whose cultivation levels were clearly much lower. Although the Third-Stage Flying Wing Serpents were not difficult to deal with, their sheer numbers were overwhelming. Occasionally, a few serpents would dart into the still lingering poisonous mist, absorb it into their bodies, and then rush towards the Golden Cloud Palace disciples to spit it out.
The disciples of Golden Cloud Palace were already aware of the severe toxicity of the mist, but surrounded by dozens of demon serpents, they could not escape the poisonous fog in time and soon became contaminated.
The Vitality Shield they had raised shattered almost instantly as the poison mist crawled towards one disciple's arm as if it had a life of its own. In the blink of an eye, the disciple's arm was corroded to a bloody pulp, exposing stark white bone.
"We need to save them first!" Ye Feng's expression turned cold as he executed the Raging Thunder Step and charged into the midst of the serpents.
With a crackling sound, dense arcs of electricity formed a net that surged towards the demon serpents along the ground. Many serpents could not dodge in time and were struck, their paralyzed bodies becoming stepping stones for Ye Feng. After a series of stomps, they were blasted into charred remains by the Thunder Elemental Energy unleashed through Raging Thunder Step.
Relying solely on his footwork, Ye Feng directly crushed seven or eight demon serpents underfoot. This display of strength not only made the trapped disciples of Golden Cloud Palace cheer with excitement but also left Cheng Xiaofeng dumbfounded.
"Quickly disperse and use palm winds to blow away the poison mist!" Before anyone could react, Ye Feng had already jumped into the crowd. With a flip of his hands, he unleashed powerful gusts that blew away the rampant poison mist.
Encouraged by Ye Feng's actions, the disciples of Golden Cloud Palace felt their fighting spirit rise. They shouted in unison and unleashed their palm strikes to completely disperse the poison mist spewed forth by the serpents.
"Kill!" Ye Feng shouted coldly as he brandished his Azure Dragon Sword and stepped out from the crowd to charge directly into the serpent horde!
"Kill!" The disciples of Golden Cloud Palace had red eyes; after being stifled for so long, their pent-up anger was finally ignited. Almost instinctively, they followed closely behind Ye Feng and launched a counterattack against the clearly superior demon serpent horde.
In an instant, the situation reversed completely. The low-level Flying Wing Serpents lost their leader's command and fell into chaos. Despite their large numbers, they could not organize an effective counterattack. With Ye Feng moving through them like a Killing God, he quickly disrupted their formation.
The battle between humans and serpents reached a fever pitch, with a nauseating stench of blood filling the air. Many disciples from Golden Cloud Palace sustained serious injuries during this fight; fortunately, these Flying Wing Serpents themselves were not poisonous, so their injuries were not fatal.
The massive serpent formation composed of over seventy Third-Stage Serpents ultimately collapsed under Ye Feng's assault. His black hair danced wildly as lightning coiled around him like a thunder god descending from above—an imposing sight.
Ye Feng became increasingly exhilarated as he fought; with each step he took, bursts of lightning erupted from the ground. The Flying Wing Serpents attempting to surround him often found themselves paralyzed before they could take flight, left helplessly awaiting their doom.
The bloody battle gradually came to a halt after half an hour. Nearly all seventy Third-Stage Flying Wing Serpents had been slain, with fewer than ten managing to escape into the Mysterious Cave Entrance that had been broken open by the Demon Serpent Leader.
The remaining disciples of Golden Cloud Palace did not rest; disregarding their injuries, they immediately began attacking Cheng Xiaofeng's four Fourth-Stage Winged Serpents.
The intelligence of the Fourth-Stage Winged Serpent seemed quite high. Seeing the snake formation collapse and the low-level serpent demons suffer heavy casualties, it immediately lost its will to resist and turned to flee towards the Mysterious Cave Entrance.
Seizing this opportunity, Cheng Xiaofeng suddenly surged forward, golden light swirling in his hands, tightly ensnaring one Fourth-Stage Winged Serpent, ultimately killing it successfully.
Ye Feng and the surviving six disciples of Golden Cloud Palace also managed to intercept two Fourth-Stage Winged Serpents, killing them midway. However, one Fourth-Stage Winged Serpent still managed to escape into the cave.
Breathing heavily, Cheng Xiaofeng sheathed his sword and looked at the ground covered with serpent corpses and several mutilated bodies of Golden Cloud Palace disciples. After a moment of confusion, he finally reacted and hurried to assist the injured disciples.
Ye Feng also promptly took out several healing pills and handed them over, joining in the rescue efforts.
After some time spent aiding the wounded, only seven disciples of Golden Cloud Palace remained. Cheng Xiaofeng's eyes twitched; he hadn't expected such heavy losses before even reaching the location of the mysterious treasure. If it weren't for that Dragon Tiger Sect disciple suddenly appearing here, they would surely have perished as well.
Cheng Xiaofeng slowly walked over to Ye Feng and cupped his hands in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your timely assistance, Brother. I will never forget your great kindness. I am Cheng Xiaofeng, the senior disciple of Golden Cloud Palace. May I ask for your esteemed name?"
"We are both disciples of Nine Sects; there is no need for such formality," Ye Feng replied with a smile and a nod, casually saying, "I am Ye Feng!"
"Ye Feng? You are the Ye Feng from Dragon Tiger Sect?" Cheng Xiaofeng's expression changed dramatically.
