Chapter 479: Chapter 478: Wife, I’m Here
"Qin Yanyang has always been in that wooden tower, and the tower is surrounded by powerful guards. Even if you break through to meet with her, you won’t be able to escape,"
In a hidden corner, Yang Fei and Helian Rong were speaking in low voices as they looked at the distant wooden tower.
The two had not been there long when they arrived and found countless experts around. Qin Yanyang’s location was heavily guarded, so Yang Fei did not act rashly.
"But if we wait like this, not only will we not find a chance, the enemy will only grow stronger, and it will be harder to escape later," Yang Fei said in a serious voice.
Helian Rong nodded and replied, "Indeed, that’s the case."
A gleam flashed in Yang Fei’s eyes as he spoke in a deep voice, "We’ll have to take the risk now. With fewer people around and the poisons you carry, I’m confident I can break through and meet with Yanyang. Once we join forces, my wife and I should have a chance to escape the Hidden Sect."
He left something unsaid.
That was that before coming in, his master had mentioned that they would have assistance inside.
If there really was assistance, those people might take action secretly when he and Qin Yanyang tried to break through.
Helian Rong heard this but scoffed coldly, shaking her head, "It’s not that I underestimate you, but even if you reunite with Qin Yanyang, you won’t be able to break out."
Yang Fei frowned and looked at her, asking, "Why is that?"
Helian Rong said, "My master is over there."
Yang Fei’s heart sank.
With that old poisoner from the Poison Sect there, the effect of the toxins Helian Rong carried from the Poison Sect would be significantly reduced, making it hard to create much chaos.
"Even without my master there, just dealing with the Sword Obsession from the Wang Family, you won’t be able to break through. Not to mention the manor owner of Giant Sword Manor, Wang Changchun. Though his fame is not as great as my master or Sword Obsession, his Cultivation is profound and mysterious, and the power of his giant sword is boundless. In a head-on clash, you might not be able to defeat him," Helian Rong cautioned.
Yang Fei was also aware of the names of top experts of the Hidden Sect but had not personally experienced their combat abilities, so he neither agreed nor disagreed.
However, Helian Rong’s warning could not be ignored.
According to Helian Rong, facing the three individuals, Ouyang He, Wang Chunyang, and Wang Changchun alone, he would not be able to defeat any of them, let alone three opponents?
Besides, Mo Li, Zuo Wenjun, and Chen Liangzhong were also Divine Travel Realm experts.
Previously, when he was at Duanmu Manor, just the sight of one Divine Travel Realm expert had frightened him into fleeing, nearly being caught. Now facing such a lineup, even if his and Qin Yanyang’s combined combat ability significantly increased, they probably would still not withstand a direct confrontation.
At this moment, a sense of helplessness arose deep within Yang Fei.
Although the pinnacle of the experts in the Hidden Sect was only Divine Travel Realm, he and Qin Yanyang had not yet reached the Divine Travel Realm, essentially being completely overshadowed in terms of Realm.
As for numbers, they were equally disadvantaged.
"But if we continue to wait, the enemy’s forces will only grow stronger, and our chances of escaping will become even slimmer," Yang Fei pondered for a long time, and finally decided to take a risk.
His wife had come to rescue him, if he didn’t meet up with her now while the enemy’s numbers were few and try to escape, was he supposed to just wait here for death?
Helian Rong too had been thinking of strategies, but faced with the current situation, even with her exceptional intelligence, she found herself out of options.
After thinking it over, she could only say, "Then you go. Since these people are all here and they haven’t attacked Qin Yanyang, it shows that Qin Yanyang poses a certain threat to the Hidden Sect."
Yang Fei nodded and said, "Indeed, right now, our survival depends on the external deterrence against the Hidden Sect."
"If I get a chance, I will help you," Helian Rong finally said.
Yang Fei felt touched and looked at her, "If you get a chance, you can come find me; I may have a way to cure your illness."
Helian Rong was not hopeful about this; even her three martial uncles Qin Sizhong and her master could not cure her completely. How could Yang Fei, a young man who grew up outside, have more Medical Skill than her uncles and master?
But Yang Fei’s words still pleased Helian Rong, who said, "You should first see if you can escape."
Yang Fei laughed, "Wealth is in Heaven’s hands, life and death are decreed by fate; I, Yang Fei, will not stand by idly. As for those people wanting to capture my wife and me, they will likely have to pay a steep price."
Having said that, he suddenly felt as if a tremendous force was propelling him forward, his body shot up like a cannonball, rushing towards the wooden building at an astonishing speed.
Helian Rong saw his magnificent aura. In such a desperate situation, he still exuded such confidence, which made her secretly impressed.
As Yang Fei charged towards the wooden building, a commanding voice followed: "Old man, who are you, stop immediately!"
In an instant, several powerful presences locked onto this area.
Helian Rong felt a chill in her heart, put on her mask, and crouched down to hide in the forest.
On the other side, as Yang Fei rushed towards the wooden building, he was already prepared to face an attack from a Divine Travel Realm expert. When a patrolling expert scolded and charged at him, Yang Fei wasted no words and casually scattered a handful of powder.
"Poison!"
A cry of alarm followed.
The expert intercepting Yang Fei collided with the powder. Although he managed to block most of the toxin with a swing of his palm, he was still affected by the poison, feeling a burning pain on his arm and face, horrified, he no longer thought of intercepting Yang Fei, and decisively fell to the ground, practicing to force out the poison.
"Wife, I’m here!"
While Yang Fei was in mid-air, he shouted loudly.
Inside the wooden building, Qin Yanyang, hearing Yang Fei’s voice, instantly became excited.
She was worried that Yang Fei hadn’t received her message to come to look for him, and even more worried that Yang Fei would be captured and imprisoned. She hadn’t expected that less than a day after the message had been sent, Yang Fei had already come upon hearing the news.
She hurried out of the room and saw Yang Fei landing in front of the wooden building. At the same time, a series of fierce attacks bombarded Yang Fei.
Qin Yanyang paled with fright and quickly cried out, "Stop, don’t hurt him."
However, once the attack was launched, it could not be stopped.
Especially several fierce Sword Qi, irreversible as spilled water, shot towards Yang Fei at an astonishing speed, trying to slash him to the ground.
The moment Yang Fei touched the ground, he felt the fierce attacks incoming and was secretly alarmed. Without any hesitation, he powered his legs and his body soared into the air again.
"Hiss!"
"Puff Puff!!"
As he soared into the sky, the area where he had just landed now bore a deep sword mark, followed by several fierce auras that struck, creating a huge pit and sending dirt flying.
While in mid-air, Yang Fei had just breathed a sigh of relief when his heart suddenly sank.
Several powerful auras enveloped and swept over him like a blanket covering the sky.
Looking up, he saw three figures rushing towards him at astonishing speeds.
One of them, from a distance of several meters, suddenly clawed through the air at him.
A gust of wind blew, and a massive suction force enveloped Yang Fei, pulling him towards that person.
Yang Fei’s Divine Thought stirred and scattered the Power Elements wrapping around him.
The next moment, the other two reached him, one an old man with white hair, the other appearing like a scholarly gentleman.
Both of them reached out simultaneously, grabbing at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei’s pupils contracted, and he scattered a large amount of toxin while simultaneously throwing an aged secret manual high into the air, saying, "Here, take the Taoist secret manual!"
Wang Chunyang, Ouyang He, and Wang Changchun were the first to act upon Yang Fei’s arrival.
Their goal was simple, capture Yang Fei and control him.
Seeing Yang Fei throwing out an ancient manual and calling it a Taoist secret manual, all three suspected a trick, but dared not risk it, and hurriedly reached for the manual.
