1043: Chapter 1036: The Underground City!
Strange Vines!
Kong Fei, pulled along by Bao Yutao, saw the corpse of his younger brother in the Lake of Death.
Murderous intent was unmistakably emanating from him as his pupils were fixed dead on Lin Xinyi, who had returned to Ye Chenfeng’s side.
He pushed his Venerable Level Middle Stage Soul Force to its limits, causing the dust at his feet to slowly begin swirling around.
Bao Yutao and his brother Bao Yuqiang also maxed out their Soul Force in preparation—they could not afford any further delays; who knew if Ye Chenfeng and the others would pull any more tricks?
As Ye Chenfeng felt the murderous aura from Kong Fei and the other two, he glanced at Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the others beside him.
All three enemies were at the Middle Stage of Venerable Level.
It could be said that Ye Chenfeng’s group had virtually no chance of winning.
If they could somehow split Kong Fei and the others, taking them on one by one, the odds would heavily favor Ye Chenfeng’s group.
Having thought of a preliminary plan, Ye Chenfeng whispered, “The moment we get a chance, we all run to the north.
It would be best to shake these three off.
If we can’t lose them, we must split them up.
With the five of us, taking down one person with Middle Stage Venerable Level strength is still possible.”
Just as Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi and the others had nodded in agreement, Kong Fei, Bao Yutao, and Bao Yuqiang sped up and attacked Ye Chenfeng’s group.
Ye Chenfeng urgently shouted, “Everyone, stick together—don’t get separated!”
Ye Chenfeng positioned himself at the forefront of his group.
Kong Fei, though seething with rage internally, was cautious of Ye Chenfeng who possessed the corrosive Bone Corrosion Liquid.
So, with his right fist charged with Middle Stage Venerable Level Soul Force, he aimed a blow at Ye Chenfeng’s chest.
While Kong Fei attacked Ye Chenfeng, Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang simultaneously appeared before Shen Mingxuan and Lin Xinyi.
As for Xiao Li Yuan and Cheng Dahhu, they could only assist Shen Mingxuan and Lin Xinyi from the side.
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
——” The thudding sounds of the confrontation were incessant.
Ye Chenfeng and his allies were clearly outmatched by Kong Fei and the others, constantly retreating step by step.
Seeing that they would surely be worn down by Kong Fei and his comrades, Ye Chenfeng directly took out three bottles of Bone Corrosion Liquid from his pocket and splashed them at Kong Fei, Bao Yutao, and Bao Yuqiang, shouting, “We retreat now!”
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s command, Shen Mingxuan and Lin Xinyi turned and ran to the north.
Kong Fei and the others, seeing the Bone Corrosion Liquid being thrown, quickly dodged away.
Kong Fei, with the quickest reflexes, caught up to Ye Chenfeng and company shortly after evading; it seemed his brother’s death had pushed him beyond his limits.
After avoiding the Bone Corrosion Liquid, Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang only paused momentarily before chasing after them.
Bao Yutao shouted, “You won’t escape today!
Better to stay and face death obediently!”
Once they were rapidly caught up to by Kong Fei, Ye Chenfeng and his group were again bogged down by the three from the Heavenly Alliance.
The situation for Ye Chenfeng was still relatively better, but four others, including Shen Mingxuan and Lin Xinyi, kept accumulating new injuries.
“You five prepare to accompany my brother in the Land of Death!” Kong Fei roared through his throat, his attacks growing even more ferocious.
Facing Kong Fei’s fierce assaults, wounds of varying degrees were beginning to appear on Ye Chenfeng.
Without Shen Mingxuan and Lin Xinyi’s help, Ye Chenfeng might have a chance to escape.
Now, he was left with only five bottles of Bone Corrosion Liquid and was gearing up for one last attempt.
But just as Ye Chenfeng was about to throw the Bone Corrosion Liquid again, he suddenly felt something wrong beneath his feet—the sand seemed to have a suction force that was pulling him slowly down into the ground.
At the same time, Ye Chenfeng no longer felt Kong Fei’s attacks.
When he looked up at Kong Fei, he saw that he was in the same predicament.
Then, turning his gaze to Shen Mingxuan and Lin Xinyi, he found that everyone present was similarly sinking into the sandy soil.
Watching as Cheng Dahhu’s struggles only made him sink faster, Ye Chenfeng urgently roared, “Dahhu, all of you stop moving!
The more you struggle, the faster you’ll sink.”
Cheng Dahhu stopped struggling immediately after hearing Ye Chenfeng’s shout, and indeed, the pace at which he was sinking slowed down.
However, Ye Chenfeng’s lower half was completely buried.
He tried to extricate himself from the sand, but the suction was too strong to overcome.
Feeling the scorching sun above, a bitter taste emerged at the corner of Ye Chenfeng’s mouth.
Trapped in loose sand, he couldn’t muster any strength at all.
Could he really die here?
He could not die here.
Meanwhile, Kong Fei, Bao Yutao, and Bao Yuqiang, initially frantic in their struggles, stopped moving once they realized that struggling only made them sink faster.
Fuming, they glared at Ye Chenfeng and his group.
In their eyes, it was all because of Ye Chenfeng and his allies that they found themselves in this dire situation.
“What are you staring at?
Believe it or not, Grandpa Cheng will punch your heads to explode?” Cheng Dahhu said angrily.
He knew the chances of getting out of the sand were slim to none, so he decided to indulge in some verbal satisfaction before death.
Buried up to his chest in sand, Shen Mingxuan asked Ye Chenfeng, “Chenfeng, are we just going to wait here and die?
Do you have any other way out?”
Lin Xinyi’s beautiful eyes also stared unwaveringly at Ye Chenfeng.
After all, Ye Chenfeng had created many miracles before, but this time, Ye Chenfeng just shook his head helplessly and said, “I also have no way to get out of here.”
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s reply, Shen Mingxuan’s eyes showed a hint of unwillingness and despair.
He struggled violently once more, and the sand that had buried his chest soon engulfed him completely.
After Shen Mingxuan was completely submerged by the sand, Cheng Dahhu, Xiao Liyuan, Lin Xinyi, and three members from Heavenly Alliance including Kong Fei also sank into the sand.
As the sand reached his neck, Ye Chenfeng let out a fierce roar and pushed his mid-stage Venerable Level Soul Force to the extreme, trying to break free from the sand.
But in the end, he was instantly submerged by the sand as well.
Submerged in the sand, Ye Chenfeng could feel the scorching temperature of the sand.
For a Soul Force warrior of their strength, not breathing for a short time wouldn’t be immediately fatal, but he didn’t know how long he continued sinking.
Ye Chenfeng felt it was getting harder and harder to breathe, until at last he completely lost consciousness.
Before losing consciousness, only one thought lingered in Ye Chenfeng’s mind: “I cannot die!
I cannot die!” After all, he had many family members and women waiting for him back in Capital City, and Chen Siyu was pregnant with his child, and soon, he was going to be a father.
…
How much time had passed?
Ye Chenfeng felt extremely dizzy in his head.
When he opened his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of an extremely ancient city gate.
He slapped his head hard and saw Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and others from the Heavenly Alliance including Kong Fei lying not far from him.
Before Ye Chenfeng could fully clear his thoughts, Kong Fei and the other two members from Heavenly Alliance also woke up one after another, followed by Shen Mingxuan and Lin Xinyi.
Shen Mingxuan, who had come to his senses after a while, looked at the ancient city gate before him and asked, “Chenfeng, where are we?”
Ye Chenfeng struggled to stand up and said, “This must be beneath the sand.
What we see before us might be a city that was once buried by the sand.
However, there is one thing we should be grateful for, at least we’re not dead yet.”
Not far away, Kong Fei, Bao Yutao, and Bao Yuqiang, who had also come to their senses, stood up from the ground.
Kong Fei sneered and said, “Now you are not dead, but soon you’ll become a corpse.”
“Rustle!
Rustle!
Rustle!
Rustle!
Rustle!
Rustle!——”
As soon as Kong Fei’s words fell and Ye Chenfeng started to furrow his brows, a faint noise came from the ancient city gate ahead.
Then, a number of holes appeared in the gate, and through these holes, numerous vines emerged.
The gate, weathered by countless years, had become decayed and was easily penetrated by these strange vines.
Soon, the city gate was covered with dense vines, which were spreading towards Ye Chenfeng and the others, giving them a strange feeling as if these vines were specifically coming for them.
Kong Fei and the other two, who were about to attack Ye Chenfeng and the others again, also frowned upon the appearance of these strange vines and temporarily shifted their attention away from Ye Chenfeng and his group.
