Chapter 371: Ye Shenglong’s Strength!
Seeing this scene, Ling’er and Luo Xi, who were relatively close, changed their expressions drastically.
Especially Luo Xi, who was so frightened that she screamed.
After Fang Yu disappeared from the ground, the surroundings became eerily quiet.
Yan Yao stood up from the ground, her right hand pressed against her chest.
After the battle just now, pain radiated from various parts of her body, especially her chest, which was excruciating.
She knew that her sternum had already cracked.
“This Fang Yu… is indeed not an ordinary warrior. No wonder the king specifically wanted him as a subordinate,” Yan Yao thought, her eyes filled with shock.
But upon seeing the hole in the ground before her, a cold and sinister smile appeared on Yan Yao’s face.
No matter how strong he is, what does it matter?
The person the Immortal King has his eyes on can never escape!
“You, what have you done to Fang Yu!?”
At this moment, a tender and innocent voice rang out.
Ling’er stepped forward, her small face tense as she glared at Yan Yao.
She clenched her fists tightly to suppress the fear in her heart.
Fang Yu had saved her before, and today he had taken her out to eat and buy clothes.
In Ling’er’s heart, Fang Yu had become second only to her senior sister and master.
So, even though she was terrified, Ling’er still stood up.
Seeing Ling’er step out, Luo Xi’s face turned pale.
Yan Yao was clearly not a good person; she wouldn’t let Ling’er off just because she was a child!
But fear left Luo Xi with no strength to even stand.
At this moment, hearing Ling’er’s voice, Yan Yao turned her head and stared directly at her.
The third eye on her forehead spun wildly.
“A master at such a young age? What luck, I’ve gained another subordinate.”
Yan Yao grinned and walked towards Ling’er.
“Ling’er, run!” Luo Xi couldn’t help but shout.
Ling’er did not take a step back; her gaze was resolute as she looked at the approaching Yan Yao, ready to unleash her true energy.
“Whoosh!”
Just then, a sound of breaking air came from behind.
A figure swiftly flashed through the air, landing in front of Ling’er and blocking Yan Yao’s path.
This person was tall and strong, it was Ye Shenglong, who had been watching from the back.
Ye Shenglong looked at Yan Yao in front of him, his brows furrowed, his expression fierce.
“To openly kill in the city is one thing, but to not even spare a little girl, you have quite the audacity,” Ye Shenglong said coldly.
Yan Yao looked at Ye Shenglong, her smile still radiant, and said, “What great luck today, so many foolish warriors have come to me.”
As she spoke, a chilling aura emanated from Yan Yao.
Ye Shenglong snorted coldly and took a step back.
Ling’er stood frozen in place, looking at the strong man in front of her.
Luo Xi, however, showed a look of surprise.
Ye Shenglong had arrived; they were saved.
“Luo Xi, we need to back up a bit more to avoid being caught in the crossfire.”
A clear and cold voice sounded beside them.
Luo Xi recognized this voice; it was Ye Shengxue’s voice.
After the voice appeared, Luo Xi felt her body lighten.
A gentle force appeared beneath her, lifting her up and slowly moving her backward.
Luo Xi could see that Ling’er was similarly enveloped in a pale blue light, floating to her side.
Moments later, Luo Xi gently landed on the ground, barely steadying herself.
“Luo Xi, are you hurt?” Ye Shengxue asked softly, looking at Luo Xi.
Luo Xi shook her head and gratefully said, “Thank you, Shengxue, for coming to my rescue.”
“It’s nothing,” Ye Shengxue replied calmly.
Ling’er landed on the ground, but her gaze remained focused ahead.
At this moment, Ye Shenglong roared, and a burst of white light erupted from his body.
Yan Yao brought her hands together and began to chant a spell.
“Whoosh!”
A pitch-black spear materialized in the air before her.
Yan Yao grasped the spear and charged at Ye Shenglong.
“Shengxue, your brother… should we call for reinforcements?” Luo Xi’s face looked grim, her eyes filled with worry.
With Fang Yu gone and his life or death uncertain, and Ye Shenglong continuing to fight that monstrous Yan Yao… the situation was not optimistic.
Ye Shengxue glanced at Luo Xi and said softly, “Luo Xi, my brother might be stronger than you think.”
“Bang!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud explosion erupted in the distance, sending dust and debris flying.
Yan Yao wielded the spear and attacked Ye Shenglong fiercely.
Ye Shenglong’s eyes glowed with white light, and two faint red energy spheres formed around his fists.
He was using his fists to counter the spear in Yan Yao’s hands!
The sharp spear clashed against Ye Shenglong’s energy-infused fists, producing a series of muffled sounds in the air.
Ye Shenglong’s defense and offense were balanced; Yan Yao couldn’t harm him at all!
However, because Yan Yao could predict every one of Ye Shenglong’s attacks, he couldn’t harm her either!
“Bang! Bang! Bang…”
The two fought from the ground to mid-air, their battle location constantly shifting, yet neither could gain the upper hand.
Ye Shenglong’s eyes shone with dazzling white light, his fighting spirit fierce.
Since returning to the Ye family, he had rarely fought like this tonight!
He felt exhilarated!
On the other hand, Yan Yao, who was fighting Ye Shenglong, felt the pressure mounting.
Although her current opponent was not as powerful in physical strength or attack speed as Fang Yu had been, Ye Shenglong was quite troublesome!
During their confrontation, it was evident that Ye Shenglong’s combat power was on a steep rise!
Typically, when a warrior exerts themselves in battle, their stamina gradually depletes, leading to a decrease in combat effectiveness.
But Ye Shenglong was the opposite!
The longer the fight went on, the stronger he became!
Yan Yao was gradually feeling the strain!
She had already sustained serious injuries from her battle with Fang Yu.
Now, she couldn’t unleash her full strength and was unable to defeat Ye Shenglong in front of her!
If this continued, she might even be knocked down by Ye Shenglong!
“I can’t keep fighting like this… The king’s target has already been dealt with; I should retreat,” Yan Yao thought while fending off Ye Shenglong’s attacks, her third eye on her forehead began to spin rapidly.
She started to foresee her escape route, wanting to determine the fastest and most efficient way to flee!
Soon, her prophetic eye revealed the best escape method.
“Boom!”
The spear in Yan Yao’s hand transformed into a powerful burst of true energy, thrusting forward.
Ye Shenglong crossed his arms in front of him to block the attack.
The explosion’s force pushed both Ye Shenglong and Yan Yao in opposite directions.
At that moment, a flash of light appeared in Yan Yao’s hand, revealing a talisman.
She held the talisman and formed hand seals.
“Whoosh!”
The talisman instantly burned away, releasing a thick cloud of black mist.
Yan Yao’s figure completely vanished into the black mist.
“Trying to escape!?”
Ye Shenglong landed on the ground, pushing off with his foot, his figure soaring towards the black mist at high speed.
“Whoosh!”
Just as Ye Shenglong was about to reach the black mist, it suddenly contracted, shrinking from large to small at an incredible speed, transforming into a fist-sized black sphere before completely disappearing.
Along with it, Yan Yao vanished.
The surroundings fell silent once more.
Ye Shenglong stood in place, scanning his surroundings to confirm that Yan Yao had left.
He swung a fist at the air in front of him in frustration.
“Bang!”
The force of his punch erupted, creating a muffled sound in the air.
Ye Shenglong’s aura gradually receded, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
He turned to look at Ye Shengxue in the distance, a questioning expression on his face.
Ye Shengxue frowned tightly and shook her head gently.
Yan Yao’s aura had completely vanished.
She had successfully escaped, and there was no way to track her.
As the dust settled, Ling’er’s heart raced violently.
Yan Yao had escaped, but what about Fang Yu!?
Her face pale, she looked up at Ye Shengxue and said, “Fang Yu is missing. Can you help me find him?”
Ye Shengxue looked at Ling’er, her expression complex.
She couldn’t help Ling’er find Fang Yu because she didn’t know where he had gone either.
She hadn’t even seen how Fang Yu had suddenly disappeared from the spot.
“Mr. Fang was pulled underground by a pair of pale hands…” At this moment, Luo Xi said tremulously from the side.
“Pale hands? Reaching up from the ground?” Ye Shengxue asked, frowning.
“Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes,” Luo Xi said, still shaken.
Ye Shengxue’s expression grew serious as she began to think.
Ye Shenglong returned to their side, looking at Luo Xi with concern, “Xi’er, are you okay?”
Luo Xi bit her red lip and said, “I’m fine, but Mr. Fang is missing…”
