BOOM! CRASH!
The Ice Demon lifted its massive white cudgel, which instantly expanded to a staggering hundred meters in length, sweeping out with terrifying energy.
Seeing those sinister dark Spatial Blades slicing toward them, the four Dao Molding Realm experts were startled. They could sense the dangerous aura emanating from those black daggers.
At the same time, the Ice Demon’s assault also exerted significant pressure on the four masters.
After all, the Ice Demon possessed combat strength equivalent to the Dao Molding Realm!
Thus, under the combined barrage of the Spatial Blades and the Ice Demon’s attack, the four Plastic Dao masters were forced back a step.
The crux was that this interruption happened too abruptly. The four were wholly focused on seizing the Canghuang Origin and never anticipated Ye Yunfei would suddenly interfere.
Several Dao Entry Realm experts, standing too close, were swatted away by the Ice Demon's cudgel, letting out pained screams.
The other Dao Entry Realm cultivators rushing forward were also frightened and halted in their tracks.
"I’ll cover your escape!" Ye Yunfei transmitted his words to the little girl. He immediately released his own Spatial Energy and Spatial Laws, affecting the small space around her, countering the effects of the Air Prohibition Formation Flags.
At this moment, the girl felt both wronged and terrified. She stood there trembling, her small face pale, looking utterly helpless.
She didn't understand why these humans always wanted to capture her. It was the same before, and it was still the same now!
"Really?" Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the girl perked up a little.
"Yes, it’s true! You need to leave now!" Ye Yunfei said.
"Uncle, you are a good person." Discovering that Ye Yunfei was genuinely shielding her, the girl spoke gratefully, a relieved smile appearing on her face.
"Hurry and go! If you don’t, neither of us will escape!" Ye Yunfei urged.
"Okay, Uncle. I’ll listen to you, I'm leaving now!" The girl nodded. Her form began to fade, its edges dissolving like ripples on water.
"Ye Yunfei! What do you think you’re doing?!" At this moment, the four Plastic Dao masters charged forward again. Lü Wutian fixed Ye Yunfei with a furious glare and roared sharply.
The other three Plastic Dao experts were also incensed, their eyes brimming with killing intent as they stared at Ye Yunfei.
"Isn’t it obvious? The Canghuang Origin doesn't belong to you. Can't I try to claim it too?" Ye Yunfei smirked coldly.
"Da Bing, show no mercy." Ye Yunfei commanded.
"Understood!" The Ice Demon nodded, whirling its huge white cudgel like a windmill as it attacked the four Plastic Dao masters.
"Seeking death!" The four masters roared in unison, unleashing various fatal ultimate techniques aimed at the Ice Demon.
One against four, the Ice Demon was quickly overwhelmed, forced to retreat step by step.
"Uncle, do you want to capture me too?" At this moment, the girl's form had thinned to a mere wisp, faint and indistinct. Hearing Ye Yunfei's earlier words to the masters, she paused in confusion and asked.
"I was lying to them! Go, hurry!" Ye Yunfei felt a mix of amusement and exasperation, urging her once more.
"Ah, so that’s it!" The girl smiled again, then vanished without a trace in a flicker.
"No! The Canghuang Origin has fled!" At this moment, both Pang Taishi and Master Huangshi cried out in alarm.
"No…!" The four Dao Molding Realm masters and all the Dao Entry experts let out a collective sigh of unwillingness.
They had finally found the Canghuang Origin, only to watch it slip away like this!
"After being frightened this time, dealing with the Canghuang Origin will become much more difficult," Pang Taishi spat in frustration, stomping his foot.
"Ye Yunfei! This is all because of you! If you hadn't interfered, I would have already captured the Canghuang Origin!" Lü Wutian’s gaze locked onto Ye Yunfei, his killing intent overflowing.
"Hmph! You accomplish nothing but ruin everything!" The Moon Palace Master also stared coldly at Ye Yunfei.
"Brat, you scared away the Canghuang Origin. I won’t be satisfied until you’re sliced into a thousand pieces!" The black-clad old man gnashed his teeth, glaring venomously at Ye Yunfei.
"I will imprison your Soul Body in a specially crafted lamp and burn it for decades, letting you taste the agony of seeking death while life endures!" The gaze of the short, stout elder was filled with bitter resentment toward Ye Yunfei.
"Oh? Are you the only ones allowed to vie for the Canghuang Origin? Is it your personal property?" Ye Yunfei retorted with a cold laugh.
"An ant like you has no right to argue reason with us," the black-clad elder said icily.
"You two still dare to blame Ye Yunfei?! When the Canghuang Origin appeared, not only did you fail to protect it, you attempted to seize it yourselves! Are you worthy of our forebears from this world? In the past, to protect the safety of the Canghuang Origin, countless heroic souls from our world spilled their blood and gave their lives without hesitation! And you two are lower than beasts!" At this point, the grey-clad elder suddenly pointed at Lü Wutian and the Moon Palace Master, shouting angrily.
"Old fool, what do you know? I planned to take the Canghuang Origin back for strict protection," Lü Wutian replied with a darkened face.
"Ha ha… Do you even believe your own words?" The grey-clad elder laughed in extreme fury.
Lü Wutian's expression turned utterly gloomy, and he fell silent.
"Enough talk! All three of you will die!" The short, stout elder suddenly thrust out his right hand. His arm swelled continuously, reaching out to grab Ye Yunfei.
"Da Bing, cover us. We’re preparing to leave." Ye Yunfei said.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Yunfei sent his hands flying in a series of chops. Over a hundred sinister dark Spatial Blades materialized instantly, swirling towards the short, stout elder.
BOOM!
The Ice Demon unleashed its full power as well. Surging Ice and Snow Laws erupted from its body, causing the temperature in the surrounding space to plummet dramatically. Raging waves of frigid air roared, and dense hailstones rained down like a downpour from the heavens.
The white cudgel struck like a mountainous barrier, each swing shaking space violently. However, Ye Yunfei's intention wasn't really to fight; this was a feint to facilitate retreat.
"Go!" The next moment, Ye Yunfei spoke to the Ice Demon. He, along with the Ice Demon and the grey-clad elder, vanished into the depths of space.
"You can't escape!" The short, stout elder roared, taking a great step forward to pursue them through the spatial void.
However, by the time the stout elder charged into the spatial depths, Ye Yunfei and his companions had disappeared without a trace.
The moment Ye Yunfei entered the spatial depths, he immediately ushered the Ice Demon and the grey-clad elder into the Phantom Tower. He then instructed the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm to carry the tower away.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm utilized its race's unique Spatial Laws, vanishing instantly without a trace.
"Damn it! How can that brat be so slippery! To vanish so easily right under my nose!" The short, stout elder roared repeatedly, seething with resentment.
