"Can't just let them escape like this!"
The Dark Dream Demon hidden deep in the darkness, far to the rear, stared at Ye Yunfei and his four companions, speaking in a voice full of venomous hatred.
After thinking for a moment, it sent out a message, and soon, three companions arrived.
"Everyone, help me get revenge! You can split these five beings among yourselves!"
This Dark Dream Demon said to its three companions. It was currently consumed by hatred, wanting only revenge.
"Let's move!"
The three other Dark Dream Demons glanced at the distant figures of Ye Yunfei's group. Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately began to act.
These three Dark Dream Demons had been cultivating until now when their comrade summoned them. Finding five beings that had intruded into their territory, their mouths were watering; they wanted to seize Ye Yunfei and the others right away.
*Whoosh whoosh…*
Four Dark Dream Demons in total began chasing after the five.
This dark area was the territory of these Dark Dream Demons. The energy and laws here were extremely advantageous for them. Here, they possessed incredibly keen perception and astonishingly fast movement speeds.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was leading Yan Xiaoquan and the others forward at a rapid pace.
Ye Yunfei's Mental Force energy had been continuously sensing the situation in all directions. He had guessed the Dark Dream Demon wouldn't let them go so easily.
Sure enough, moments later, Ye Yunfei's expression shifted slightly as he sensed four dark figures racing toward them at an astonishing speed from behind.
*Huu huu…*
Weird sounds suddenly echoed through the space.
Ye Yunfei discovered it was the four Dark Dream Demons casting that bizarre, sleep-inducing law again. Vast amounts of this strange law were transmitted from a distance, producing these spine-chilling sounds.
"This is trouble, now there are four Dark Dream Demons chasing us!" Hun Lao, who also perceived them, exclaimed in surprise.
"What is that sound?"
Yan Xiaoquan and the others heard the strange noises, their hair standing on end.
"Everyone, we must speed up even more. Now, there are four Dark Dream Demons targeting us," Ye Yunfei said to Yan Xiaoquan and the other three in a grave voice.
"What? Four Dark Dream Demons are targeting us?!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Yan Xiaoquan and the others all started in fright.
One Dark Dream Demon had been difficult enough to deal with; now there were four! It was simply mind-boggling!
"Then let's hurry and run! What are we waiting for! Ye Yunfei, lead the way!" Yan Xiaoquan shouted.
"Brother Ye, earlier I heard you mention that Dark Dream Demons use a special law, somewhat similar to Illusion Dao laws, to induce sleep in others, is that correct?" Wu Tianyu suddenly spoke up.
"Yes," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Earlier, Ye Yunfei had clearly perceived how that Dark Dream Demon used that strange law to make Yan Xiaoquan fall asleep.
"My master once gave me a Ten-Thousand-Dharmas-Impervious Ancient Talisman specifically to resist various laws. If Dark Dream Demons use laws to make people fall asleep, perhaps this talisman of mine can be of some use."
Wu Tianyu suddenly produced a worn-out, black piece of talisman paper and spoke.
"Brother Wu, then activate it immediately! What are you waiting for!" Zhou Ye urged.
"Alright!"
Wu Tianyu nodded and directly activated the black talisman. It erupted with a multitude of dark, runic characters, like clusters of small black tadpoles, swimming around the five of them, instantly weaving into a dark net of laws that protected them all.
"It works! Excellent! Brother Wu, use that Ten-Thousand-Dharmas-Impervious Ancient Talisman to protect us! At the same time, let's increase our speed, try to cross this dark area quickly!"
Ye Yunfei discovered that all the strange laws being released by the four pursuing Dark Dream Demons were being successfully blocked by the surrounding black law-net. Unable to suppress his delight, he spoke.
"It really works! Looks like Master didn't lie to me! This Ten-Thousand-Dharmas-Impervious Ancient Talisman is indeed very useful!" Wu Tianyu said happily.
*Huu huu…*
The four Dark Dream Demons had already caught up, releasing vast amounts of their strange, sleep-inducing laws that enveloped Ye Yunfei's group from all directions.
However, all these strange laws were successfully blocked by the Ten-Thousand-Dharmas-Impervious Ancient Talisman.
"Talissmans are truly formidable! It's a shame there's no tradition of talisman refining in our current era of this void; such inheritances only exist in other external voids."
Glancing at the black talisman in Wu Tianyu's hand, Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"Eh? What's going on? Our Dream Realm Great Technique seems to have no effect on these five fellows!"
The four Dark Dream Demons were starting to grow frantic with frustration.
They exerted their full strength, trying to forcibly make Ye Yunfei and the others fall asleep, but they simply couldn't do it.
"Could it be that kid's doing? I couldn't make him fall asleep either earlier. He might have some method to resist our Dream Realm Great Technique!"
The Dark Dream Demon previously injured by Ye Yunfei glared at him as it spoke.
"I think it might be that black talisman paper. It seems to be blocking all our attacks!" Another Dark Dream Demon said, staring at the black talisman in Wu Tianyu's hand.
"No choice then, use our ultimate move! We finally got some beings intruding here; we absolutely cannot let them escape like this!" One of the Dark Dream Demons declared.
"Agreed! No matter what, we can't let these fellows get away!"
The three other Dark Dream Demons nodded.
However, right at this moment.
"Oh no! That weird face is coming! Let's get out of here, quick!"
One of the Dark Dream Demons screamed in terror.
"Run!"
Hearing this, the other three Dark Dream Demons didn't hesitate in the slightest. They all turned and fled.
In the darkness far away, a massive, rotting face was slowly emerging. Its two eerie, ghastly white eyes swept a glance at the four fleeing Dark Dream Demons before disregarding them, then locked onto Ye Yunfei's group of five.
"Eh? How does this human youth have an aura of Mr. Liu? Could this human youth have some connection to Mr. Liu?"
The massive face suddenly let out a light exclamation, staring at Ye Yunfei with a trace of trepidation appearing on its features.
It could never forget its encounter with Mr. Liu back then. With one gentle palm strike, Mr. Liu had nearly obliterated his spirit. Fortunately, Mr. Liu had considered how rare their kind had become, nearly extinct, and let him go.
"Since he's a person of Mr. Liu, I'd better not touch him. To avoid bringing trouble upon myself."
The massive face studied Ye Yunfei for a moment more before muttering to itself. It then began to fade gradually, disappearing from the spot.
"Good news! We're about to leave this dark area!"
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's spirits suddenly lifted. Perceiving with his Mental Force energy, he faintly detected light ahead in the distance and exclaimed joyfully.
"Excellent! We can finally leave this weird dark region!" Yan Xiaoquan and the others were also overjoyed.
"The four Dark Dream Demons seem to have disappeared!" By now, Ye Yunfei noticed the four Dark Dream Demons were gone; they were no longer pursuing.
