Chapter 104 - 104 The Importance of Nannies and Spiritual Spring
At the very front of this troop stood two people.
One was an old Taoist whose eyes couldn’t be seen.
The other, draped in a cloak with their true face hidden, only exposed two sturdy and sharp tiger claws from within the robes, gleaming with a strange metallic luster.
This person was none other than the Demon General of Fuyun Gloomy Forest.
An Element Gathering Realm transformative Tiger Demon!
“All units, heed my command, attack Misty Peak, sever the Spirit Vein, seize the Core Nucleus, assassinate Sect Leader Ye Feng!” the Tiger General issued a hoarse and intimidating voice.
His subordinate Demonic Beasts obeyed, all baring their teeth in a smile and charging forward.
Atop Misty Peak.
Ye Feng’s sense of crisis grew stronger and stronger.
He had already activated the Five Elements Continuous Array, shrouded in mist all around, leaving only what seemed to be a frail entrance on the stone steps leading up the mountain—should a powerful enemy attack, most would choose to attack from the front.
“Sect Leader, what has happened?”
Mo Ying approached on her flying sword, her black veil fluttering in the brisk wind, revealing another layer of black veil meant to cover her face.
Ye Feng stood in the air, his face full of seriousness, “I just have a restless feeling, as if some powerful enemy is about to strike, go and notify the others to be extremely cautious!”
The defenses of the Five Elements Continuous Array were not weak, but after all, it was just a small array—should an overwhelmingly strong enemy come, the array couldn’t hold.
“Disciple obeys.”
Mo Ying bowed with her fists together, then returned to the back courtyard to spread the news, and the disciples walked out of their rooms one after another, ready for battle.
“Woo-woo!”
Just then, an excited wolf howl came from the foot of the mountain, sounding exceptionally chilling under the pitch-black night sky.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, instantly illuminating the earth.
Ye Feng, high in the sky, suddenly saw dozens of massive figures scaling the periphery of Misty Peak at high speed.
The leaders were none other than the One-Armed Young Wolf General and the Tail-cut Black-striped Snake Demon.
“Not good! Two demi-transformed Demon Beasts and dozens of High-rank Demon Soldier Level Demon Beasts are climbing up; we can’t hold them off!” Mo Ying took to the skies on her flying sword and noticed the rapidly ascending Demonic Beasts around her, her pupils shrinking.
“Don’t panic, our Five Elements Continuous Array isn’t this weak,” Ye Feng said in a deep voice.
The next moment, many Demonic Beasts had already charged into the outermost part of the Five Elements Continuous Array and entered the Misty Area, immediately finding themselves deprived of their sense of smell and even losing their sense of direction, all anxiously spinning in place.
“What a formidable formation!” Mo Ying was astonished to see that even strong beings like the Black Patterned Serpent Demon and the Little Wolf General were trapped, “Sect Leader, let me take care of them.”
Ye Feng nodded, “Disciple, heed my command, enter the Misty Area and eliminate all trapped Demonic Beasts, leave none behind!”
“Disciple obeys!”
Excluding Nanny Yan Ruyu, who had no combat experience, the other ten disciples mobilized.
The Five Elements Continuous Array, a Sect Protection Array produced by the System, allowed Mo Ying and her System-verified fellow disciples to move freely in and out.
They lit up the area with Moonlight Stones and activated their Spirit Eyes, moving as if in a land with no enemies, striking down any Demonic Beasts they encountered.
“Sword Drawing Technique!”
Huo Yunjie saw a two-meter-long scorpion beast and charged at it, his Cold Light Sword, flashing with a sharp glow, suddenly unsheathed.
But then, he missed…
“I haven’t mastered the Sword Drawing Technique, I can’t even hit a Demonic Beast.” Huo Yunjie immediately utilized “Glittering Sword Qi” and pierced the scorpion beast’s head with his sword, slaying it.
On the other side, Mo Ying employed her unique Sword Combat Technique, and with the support of Qi Refinement Stage Nine, she easily cut down a Snake Demon spinning in place.
Apart from the two, the other disciples were also making their moves.
In the high sky.
Ye Feng watched this scene, feeling greatly satisfied.
Mere Demon Soldier Level Monster Beasts, even if plentiful in number, could be instantly wiped out if the killing power of the Five Elements Continuous Array was deployed.
But that would deprive the disciples of an opportunity for training.
“It’s your turn to put on a show,” Ye Feng called out to Brother Flathead, who was already excitedly spinning in place.
Upon hearing that he could fight, Brother Flathead’s eyes nearly shot out beams of light, and he swooped down the mountain path, his sharp claws heading straight for the strongest Little Wolf General.
Ye Feng’s mouth twitched.
His original intention was for Brother Flathead to take care of the other High-rank Demon Soldier Level Demon Beasts, but this guy picked the toughest one to fight.
Rip!
The Little Wolf General was injured by Brother Flathead, his face covered in blood, but he had noticed Brother Flathead too, and with a flying kick, he sent him flying tens of meters away.
“Wow!”
Brother Flathead, having grown fat and strong at Misty Peak, was even stronger in defense. Although he couldn’t beat the Little Wolf General, he kept lunging again and again, scratching his opponent all over.
“Damn it! Misty Sect… You bunch of rats, you actually dare to set up formations to kill us, do you dare to fight us head-on?”
The Little Wolf General, roaring, transformed into a wild wolf with a broken leg, and began to viciously rip apart everything in sight, overwhelming even the fearless Brother Flathead.
Meanwhile, the Black Patterned Serpent Demon was locked in battle with Mo Ying.
Clang!
The Breeze-riding Sword fell, only to be smacked away by the tail of the Black Patterned Serpent Demon, and then it stuck into the rock wall like an arrow released from a bow.
“You little wretch, I want your life!”
The Black Patterned Serpent Demon, even with its tail cut, was able to leap forward by powering off its tail, smashing into Mo Ying and sending her flying to land on the peak.
“Sister, are you all right?” Yan Ruyu immediately helped Mo Ying up, transferring her Life Spirit Force to her.
Mo Ying, who had felt suppressed all over and was nearly spitting blood, instantly recovered to peak condition upon receiving the nurturing power of Life Spirit Force, and her heart swelled with joy.
“Thank you, Junior Sister Ru Yu!”
After expressing her thanks, Mo Ying called back the Breeze-riding Sword with a hand sign, and once again, a fierce battle erupted between her and the Black Patterned Serpent Demon.
Ye Feng landed on the ground and patted Yan Ruyu on the shoulder, saying, “Ru Yu, you are the healer, just focus on healing. If you feel that your spiritual power is insufficient, immediately use the Spiritual Spring to replenish it.”
“Yes, okay!” Yan Ruyu unconditionally obeyed Ye Feng’s command.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was greatly relieved.
With a healer, a Spiritual Spring, and the Sect Protection Array, it wouldn’t take long to kill all the Demonic Beasts attacking the mountain.
However, Ye Feng did not dare to let his guard down.
The Black Patterned Serpent Demon and Little Wolf General alone weren’t enough to make him feel a sense of crisis. Ye Feng guessed that there must be a strong opponent of the Element Gathering Realm level lurking in the shadows, and given the situation, it was very possible that the Demon General from the Fuyun Gloomy Forest was personally taking action.
“War General, merge!”
The Whitefloat Five Immortals, no longer afraid, released their combined Paper Warrior General, who leaped down the mountain exuding an aura of valiant resistance, only to be smashed to pieces by a Netherworld Wolf with one swipe of its claw.
“Ah!”
The Whitefloat Five Immortals stood there dumbfounded.
Ye Feng immediately laughed: “Your Paper Warrior General is only at the level of a sixfold peak in Qi Refinement, not a match for a High-rank Demon Soldier Level Demon Beast.”
Scratching their heads, the Whitefloat Five Immortals switched to waving their flags and cheering.
“Cough cough, the opponent is a bit tough!” Just then, Long Tianxing ran back to the top of the peak, wounded all over. Yan Ruyu immediately healed him with one go, allowing him to fully recover instantly, and he roared again as he charged back into battle.
As the disciples of Misty Sect worked together to surround and kill, aided by the foggy effect of the Five Elements Continuous Array, it didn’t take long for the dozens of Demonic Beasts to be slaughtered, leaving only the Black Patterned Serpent Demon and Little Wolf General alive.
But even as the disciples joined forces, they were still being thrown around by the two.
The power of the Demi-transformed Demon Beasts was too great, and even Mo Ying’s strength was only a fraction of theirs, no match at all.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
The Little Wolf General, going completely mad, lunged forward and broke through the combined attack of Huo Yunjie and Mo Ying with one pounce, biting towards Mo Ying, who was the closest.
“Wicked beast, stop your rampaging!”
Just then, Ye Feng’s resounding voice came from the sky.
The Little Wolf General was frozen in mid-air, and then, a sharply honed Spirit Sword appeared in an instant, pinning it to the ground.
“Ye Feng has grown stronger yet again!” The Black Patterned Serpent Demon was startled into a panicked flight.
But the next moment, a slash of a Five-Colored Light Blade swept across, cutting the Black Patterned Serpent Demon into several pieces, and in a brief moment, it fell dead on the spot.
