Chapter 740: Peeed Himself with Fear
When Ye Feng and Huangfu Yuan emerged unharmed from that restriction, the other groups watching from the outside, waiting for results, couldn’t help but feel surprised.
Logically speaking, there was no way the two could have survived—there was a rule in this Meteor River that one couldn’t steal from newcomers, as reporting such acts would carry severe consequences. So usually, those who stole something would make sure to clean up all traces to avoid being exposed.
Of course, some suspected that Le Zhenglong might have shown mercy, simply taking the newcomer’s belongings and letting them go. It was likely he also made the newcomer and Huangfu Yuan swear an oath not to reveal what had happened that day, otherwise he wouldn’t have let them leave so easily.
A few others suspected the newcomer had used some trick to make Le Zhenglong’s group back down. But these were just a minority’s thoughts, and they vanished quickly.
No one could guess the real answer—Le Zhenglong’s group had been completely wiped out.
Still, most of the experienced ones knew something was odd and didn’t dare act rashly. Many patiently waited for Le Zhenglong and the others to leave the restriction zone, planning to ask the newcomer about his secrets once he came out. But even after Ye Feng and Huangfu Yuan disappeared, the restriction didn’t lift.
“What the hell is Le Zhenglong up to?” someone finally couldn’t hold back and stepped out from hiding, cursing loudly.
“This is weird—those two kids came out unharmed. Le Zhenglong’s side is silent. Could it be that new kid took him down?” someone laughed loudly, prompting others around to laugh as well.
At that moment, someone gathered energy and shouted at the restricted area, “Le Zhenglong, stop hiding like a turtle! They’ve already gone far. You can come out now…”
His shout caused more laughter.
But soon, someone noticed something strange and pointed at the restriction, “The restriction is broken…”
Hearing this, everyone looked over in surprise.
A broken restriction and an automatically dissolved restriction were two completely different things. A broken restriction resembled shattered glass, pieces falling apart. An automatically dissolved restriction, on the other hand, disappeared quickly without any fragmentation.
Before their eyes, the restriction was cracking like broken glass, leaving everyone stunned.
After the time for counting breaths passed, the entire restriction collapsed completely, revealing everything inside to everyone’s eyes. Blood splattered everywhere, yet there wasn’t a single corpse. Only one person lay collapsed on the ground, seemingly still alive. Seeing this scene, everyone’s minds short-circuited for a moment; they had no idea what had happened. Someone rushed to Le Zhenglong, who was lying there, and turned him over. “It’s Le Zhenglong!” Everyone immediately gathered around. “What happened?” they asked in unison. “That… newcomer…” Le Zhenglong managed to utter only a few words before passing out. “Was it that newcomer who did this?” Someone in the crowd quickly realized. “How is that possible? We saw earlier that Le Zhenglong’s group consisted of seventeen people, six of whom were level eight warriors. How could they be killed by just one level six warrior?” Others immediately objected. “Whatever happened, let’s revive him first and then ask questions…” … Besides the factions that stayed behind to wait for news from Le Zhenglong, two other groups secretly followed Ye Feng. One of these groups blocked Ye Feng’s path not long after Ye Feng and his companion left. This group consisted of only eleven people, with only three being level eight warriors. “It seems some people didn’t see what happened to Le Zhenglong’s group and came straight for us,” Ye Feng said to Huangfu Yuan through telepathy with a smile. Huangfu Yuan was still in shock from earlier; he never expected Ye Feng to be so powerful. His strength was no weaker than that of a level nine warrior. He could walk around freely outside the Meteor River, and even within its interior, he could protect himself without worry. Before the other party could speak, Ye Feng condensed his level ninety divine technique, dominated by the Dominant Sword Art, into a massive sword aura and charged at those eleven people. The level seven warriors couldn’t dodge in time and were instantly killed. As for the three level eight warriors, although they managed to avoid this attack, Ye Feng’s level ninety combined technique, dominated by the Swift Sword Art, pierced through their mental seas. The entire battle lasted less than three breaths from start to finish, leaving the other group secretly following Ye Feng terrified. They all held their breaths tightly, suppressing their auras to the utmost, fearing that Ye Feng would discover them and attack.
Although Ye Feng also knew that others were following, he had no intention of wasting time and looking for trouble. After gathering the eleven fallen corpses, Ye Feng and Huangfu Yuan rushed quickly toward the area where the Blood Demon appeared.
It wasn’t until Ye Feng’s presence disappeared from everyone’s perception that the group of powerful warriors who had narrowly avoided death finally revealed themselves.
“Damn, this is way too terrifying. He’s just a level-6 warrior, yet he could instantly kill us level-8 warriors…” The leader among them couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
“I was terrified. When I saw those moves of his, sweat poured down my back and soaked my clothes completely,” another level-8 warrior sighed.
“Just look at him—your situation is actually quite good,” someone nearby pointed at another man not far away.
Everyone turned to look, and that guy’s pants were also wet.
“I was terrified. The corpse he picked up was right not far from me… After picking it up, he even glanced in my direction. That look scared me to death…” the man explained, his face red.
“With such an incident happening today, we’ll have something to talk about in the future,” the leader laughed loudly. “Let’s go back. Thankfully we saw this today; otherwise, if we had encountered him recklessly later, it would have been us who ended up in his ring. It seems the Meteor River won’t be peaceful for a while. Anyone who dares to confront him recklessly here will only bring misfortune upon themselves.”
By this time, Huangfu Yuan, along with Ye Feng, had already arrived at the area where the Blood Demon appeared. Ye Feng planned to use the Blood Demon as a test subject to raise the level of his bloodline.
