Even though she had only spent a short period of time with Ye Yunfei, her impression of him was exceptionally deep. In such a critical moment, she couldn't help but think of him.
Because when she and her sister were being hunted by the Black Wind Group before, it was Ye Yunfei who intervened and helped them escape their predicament.
"You won't be able to escape."
Just as Xiao Yueyue was desperately fleeing and anxiously muttering to herself, a tall and thin middle-aged man with a fierce countenance suddenly appeared at the other end of the street ahead. He looked at Xiao Yueyue with icy eyes and spoke coldly.
Xiao Yueyue was fleeing directly towards the direction where the middle-aged man stood. Suddenly hearing his voice, she panicked and quickly stopped.
"No!
This is a Heavenly Immortal expert from the Black Wind Group! I can't escape!"
As Xiao Yueyue looked at the middle-aged man blocking her path, it felt as if a basin of snow water had been poured over her head. A chill ran through her entire body, and despair instantly took hold.
"Hahaha...
You little slut, run, why aren't you running? You're too hateful, making us chase you for so long!"
Several Black Wind Group members with superior movement speed had also caught up and entered this street from behind, rushing toward Xiao Yueyue while letting out triumphant, savage laughter.
"It's over. I definitely can't escape." By now, Xiao Yueyue was utterly desperate.
"I absolutely cannot fall into the hands of these Black Wind Group scoundrels!
I should just kill myself. That way, I can avoid disgrace."
Xiao Yueyue gave a bitter smile as she spoke.
"Sister Huanhuan, I hope you can escape safely. In the future, avenge me. Kill these Black Wind Group fiends and that beast Zhan Yuan!"
Xiao Yueyue continued, watching the Black Wind Group members closing in from both front and back.
"Young Master Ye, where exactly are you? How wonderful it would be if you were here now. If you were here, you could definitely save me."
Facing death, Xiao Yueyue thought of Ye Yunfei once again.
"You Black Wind Group scoundrels wait! Our Xiao Family will definitely settle accounts with you!"
Xiao Yueyue glanced at the Black Wind Group members, speaking through gritted teeth.
"Not good! This little slut wants to kill herself!"
The tall, thin middle-aged man blocking the front sensed something was wrong. He immediately activated his movement technique, charging toward Xiao Yueyue at a shocking speed.
Boom...
Before he even arrived, he released a terrifying aura of energy pressure, along with profound laws of space and time, suppressing the area around Xiao Yueyue, aiming to lock down the space she occupied and prevent her suicide.
"No! My body can't move. Can I not even manage to kill myself?"
Sensing the terrifying energy pressure bearing down from the middle-aged man, Xiao Yueyue felt a chill in her heart.
"Fortunately, I brought a family treasure before I left home. As long as I activate this treasure and make it self-destruct, I can end my life."
Xiao Yueyue thought to herself. Then, with a thought, she activated a treasure within her body, causing it to manifest.
It was a beautifully crafted jade hairpin, containing a powerful seal of energy within.
This was Xiao Yueyue's personal defense treasure. When necessary, it could be self-destructed, releasing immense power.
Knowing she was completely surrounded with no hope of escape, Xiao Yueyue wanted to detonate this treasure to commit suicide.
She understood that if she fell into Zhan Yuan's hands, she would surely suffer endless humiliation. That's why she was determined to choose death.
"You little slut, behave yourself!"
The tall, thin middle-aged man rushing toward her sensed the energy released from the treasure on Xiao Yueyue's body. His expression changed slightly as he roared loudly.
He knew that if Xiao Yueyue used this treasure to resist him, she could still seize the opportunity to kill herself.
Because this treasure harbored an extremely potent energy.
"You fiends will definitely get your retribution!"
Xiao Yueyue shot a furious glance at the Black Wind Group members around her, then prepared to activate the treasure.
Boom...
The tall, thin middle-aged man had already reached right in front of Xiao Yueyue. He stretched out a palm, which continuously enlarged, reaching down from above to grab Xiao Yueyue's body.
Xiao Yueyue clenched her teeth, her eyes revealing a resolute determination.
Boom...
The jade hairpin that had manifested from within Xiao Yueyue's body earlier suddenly erupted with a powerful destructive aura, preparing to explode.
"This little slut really isn't afraid to die!"
The tall, thin Black Wind Group middle-aged man was both startled and furious. However, the energy erupting from the jade hairpin was too strong. He couldn't suppress it instantly, and thus couldn't prevent the treasure from exploding.
Once this treasure exploded, Xiao Yueyue would undoubtedly be blown to pieces along with it.
This Black Wind Group Heavenly Immortal expert's face twisted with rage.
Yet, just at this moment.
"Miss Xiao, rest assured. You will be fine."
A voice rang out.
Then, a young man appeared beside Xiao Yueyue.
It was none other than Ye Yunfei.
Upon perceiving Xiao Yueyue, Ye Yunfei had rushed over at his absolute fastest speed.
Because Ye Yunfei's speed was simply too astonishing, it wasn't until he stood beside Xiao Yueyue and spoke that the surrounding Black Wind Group members noticed an extra person had appeared in the scene.
"Such terrifying speed!"
The tall, thin middle-aged man's expression shifted slightly, shocked by Ye Yunfei's speed.
"Young Master Ye?
How is that possible?
How did you suddenly appear here?
Am I hallucinating?"
Seeing Ye Yunfei, Xiao Yueyue froze on the spot. Standing there, she looked at Ye Yunfei with a mix of confusion and hope.
She doubted this was a hallucination, yet hoped it was real.
At this moment, the jade hairpin in her hand was still continuously releasing powerful destructive energy, on the verge of explosion.
"It's not a hallucination. It's real.
We'll talk later.
Let me deal with these Black Wind Group scoundrels first."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"So it's you, that surnamed Ye brat!
You actually dare deliver yourself to our doorstep. Fine, I'll kill you first!"
The tall, thin Black Wind Group middle-aged man had now recognized Ye Yunfei. His face darkened as he spoke coldly.
Boom...
While speaking, this middle-aged man sent a palm strike flying toward Ye Yunfei.
In his eyes, no matter how strong Ye Yunfei might be, he was merely a Golden Immortal. Thus, he didn't take Ye Yunfei too seriously.
"Just a Primary Heavenly Immortal."
Ye Yunfei glanced at the tall, thin middle-aged man and spoke indifferently. Then, he directly executed the Formless Heart Sword.
The middle-aged man suddenly felt an invisible, bizarre longsword appear within his body, frantically slicing and cutting, subjecting him to waves of excruciating pain. His face drastically changed.
Aah... Aah!
All the other Black Wind Group members nearby began screaming miserably. While attacking the middle-aged man, Ye Yunfei had simultaneously assaulted the other Black Wind Group members.
The attack speed of the Formless Heart Sword was incredibly fast. It could target dozens, even hundreds, of people in an instant.
However, the more people attacked, the more dispersed its power became.
While screaming, those Black Wind Group members were sent flying backward one after another, falling in the distance. Some died on the spot, while others lay there groaning in pain; though temporarily alive, they were seriously injured.
Ye Yunfei reached out and pulled Xiao Yueyue, instantly putting a considerable distance between them and the tall, thin middle-aged man.
"Miss Xiao, are you all right?"
Ye Yunfei released Xiao Yueyue's hand and asked with a smile.
"Young Master Ye, it's really you! You've come to save me! This is truly wonderful!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei standing beside her, Xiao Yueyue finally confirmed that it was indeed Ye Yunfei who had come to rescue her. Overwhelmed with excitement, she couldn't help but cry out loudly.
"Brat, what kind of evil sorcery did you just use?!"
The middle-aged man glared at Ye Yunfei with wary eyes, harshly questioning him.
By now, dozens of Black Wind Group members had been killed, their corpses littering the street, blood staining the ground.
Among those killed were a few Perfected Golden Immortals who had no idea what happened before losing their lives.
This situation left the middle-aged man shocked and furious.
Ye Yunfei swept a cold glance at the middle-aged man but didn't answer his question.
At this moment, Peng Rou and her brother, along with Xiao Yueyue, stood behind Ye Yunfei. The Black Wind Group members stood behind the middle-aged man. The two sides stood in confrontation.
"You surnamed Ye brat, you keep sabotaging our Black Wind Group's operations, showing absolutely no regard for us. Brat, from now on, our Black Wind Group is locked in a life-and-death struggle with you!"
The tall, thin middle-aged man fixed his murderous gaze on Ye Yunfei, speaking icily.
"I'm ready to oblige at any time." Ye Yunfei answered lightly.
Ye Yunfei understood that the grudge between him and the Black Wind Group was irreconcilable. Therefore, talking was meaningless now. When it was time to act, he would decisively kill.
"Hmph! At such a young age, you dare to be so arrogant. Prepare to die!"
The tall, thin middle-aged man suddenly flickered and pounced toward Ye Yunfei to attack.
Boom...
As his figure moved, a vast torrent of energy, like an ocean, pressed down toward Ye Yunfei. Besides immortal power energy, there was Soul Power energy and various law energies, rolling and surging with frightening momentum.
Ye Yunfei flicked his sleeve, simultaneously lifting up Peng Rou, her brother, and Xiao Yueyue. His body retreated, instantly putting distance between them and the tall, thin middle-aged man.
Feeling the energy pressure released by the middle-aged man bearing down on them, Peng Rou and her brother, along with Xiao Yueyue, grew pale. Their blood and Qi churned within, but fortunately, Ye Yunfei blocked most of the energy pressure for them.
"That's right!
Young Master Ye, go quickly and save Sister Huanhuan! Earlier, we split up while fleeing. I don't know how she is now!
Another group of Black Wind Group fiends are hunting her!
Young Master Ye, you are the only one here who can save Sister Huanhuan!"
At this moment, Xiao Yueyue remembered Xiao Huanhuan and couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Which direction did she go?"
Ye Yunfei's heart also jolted as he asked.
Xiao Huanhuan's strength was only slightly superior to Xiao Yueyue's, so he estimated her current situation likely wasn't any better.
"Sister Huanhuan fled in that direction.
We were together earlier, chased and intercepted by several groups of Black Wind Group members. Later, Sister Huanhuan said that if we fled together and got surrounded by the Black Wind Group, we'd both suffer. It would be better to split up, increasing our chances of escape. So, we ran off in different directions."
Xiao Yueyue pointed in a certain direction.
"Good. Let's go find her immediately." Ye Yunfei nodded.
Whoosh!
The moment his words fell, Ye Yunfei was already heading in that direction, vanishing into the streets in an instant.
The tall, thin middle-aged man wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.
"Chase!"
The tall, thin man burned with fury. As a Heavenly Immortal, encountering a mere Golden Immortal left him so helpless, unable to gain any advantage, which made him feel extremely frustrated.
With murderous intent radiating from him, the tall, thin man led the Black Wind Group members in pursuit in the direction Ye Yunfei had left.
Ye Yunfei, with Xiao Yueyue and the Peng siblings, swiftly flew over one street after another.
"Young Master Ye, it's fortunate that you also came to explore this city and encountered me. Otherwise, I'd be dead by now!"
Having narrowly escaped death, Xiao Yueyue recalled how she had almost detonated the treasure to kill herself, her heart still trembling with lingering fear.
"Actually, I entered this city because I heard you two sisters were being hunted, so I came searching for you."
Ye Yunfei didn't conceal anything and spoke directly.
"Really?
Young Master Ye, so you actually heard that we two sisters were being hunted and came specifically to save us?"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Xiao Yueyue was both grateful and overjoyed.
"That is indeed the case." Ye Yunfei's speed was frighteningly fast as he spoke while advancing.
"So he came specifically to save us two sisters…
He truly is too good to us.
For our sake, he provoked the Black Wind Group and Zhan Yuan, unafraid even though there are Heavenly Immortal experts among them!"
Xiao Yueyue was moved beyond measure. Deep within her beautiful eyes, faint traces of tears shimmered.
Unconsciously, the gaze with which she looked at Ye Yunfei began to change, becoming much gentler, seeming to carry a certain subtle affection.
"By the way, I have two Heartforce Tokens.
While escaping, I was also searching for a third Heartforce Token. If I had found it, I would have long since teleported away from this strange city and escaped the pursuit of those Black Wind Group fiends.
Unfortunately, I could never find the third token."
Xiao Yueyue suddenly said.
"Oh? You have two Heartforce Tokens? That's wonderful! Lend them to me immediately."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunfei was overjoyed.
Ye Yunfei precisely needed Heartforce Tokens for cultivation.
"Alright. Here they are. Take them."
Without thinking, Xiao Yueyue directly took out two tokens and handed them to Ye Yunfei.
She held no wariness whatsoever towards Ye Yunfei now.
Forget lending—even if Ye Yunfei wanted these two tokens, she would send them over without hesitation.
After obtaining the two tokens, Ye Yunfei immediately stuffed them into his Soul Sea, using one of his Soul Bodies to contemplate their mysteries.
Possessing two Soul Bodies allowed Ye Yunfei to engage in cultivation and comprehension in any situation.
Because another Soul Body remained focused on external matters.
"Huh?
Isn't that Ye Yunfei from the Great World Universe? I didn't expect he also entered this city!
Stop him! He killed many of our Demon City members. This time, we have to settle accounts with him properly!"
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei encountered a squad from the Demon Race. The leader, a demon with his entire body covered in green demon armor and dragging a barbed tail, immediately recognized Ye Yunfei and shouted.
Immediately, that squad of demons clamored and rushed over to surround Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei concentrated his will and executed the Formless Heart Sword.
Aah… Aah…
Members of the demon squad let out miserable screams one after another.
The majority of the weaker demons were flung backward, falling dead onto the ground.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei flashed past.
"Damn it!
That surnamed Ye brat killed seventy to eighty of our clansmen! Chase him!
We cannot let him go!"
The leading demon was struck by the Formless Heart Sword, feeling immense pain within his body. Startled and enraged, he roared.
This demon waved his hand, leading the remaining demons in pursuit of Ye Yunfei.
Not long after, the Black Wind Group members also caught up from behind.
Thus, two groups were now chasing Ye Yunfei, one after the other.
