Chapter 285: A Powerful Enemy

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Before anyone could react, they saw Ye Feng flying backward.
Zhenzhu and the others stared at Long Tian in shock, unsure why he had suddenly attacked. Only those with sharp eyes like Fat could see that Long Tian hadn’t touched Ye Feng at all—it was something inside him that had pushed Ye Feng away.
Amidst the panic, Kastedio caught Ye Feng, who was already unconscious.
“Long Tian, what did you do?” Zhenzhu was the first to demand an explanation.
“I…” Long Tian tried to speak but shook his head bitterly. Though he hadn’t taken action himself, Ye Feng’s injury was still his responsibility.
“Brother, you…” Even Long Yue looked utterly incredulous.
“It wasn’t Long Tian who did it. It was something inside him that attacked the boss,” Lilith interjected, seeing that everyone thought Long Tian was to blame. “It’s normal for you not to have seen clearly what happened. If I’m not mistaken, Long Tian himself can’t control that thing inside him.”
Long Tian nodded helplessly and said nothing more. Instead, he walked worriedly toward the unconscious Ye Feng. “Xiao Feng, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect this to happen. You must hold on. If you lose your cultivation, I’ll search the whole world to find a pill that can heal you…”
“What exactly happened?” Zhenzhu was the first to calm down. She wanted to know what had just occurred.
“It was that guy who helped me improve my cultivation. I couldn’t have reached this level so quickly on my own. Ye Feng noticed something strange inside me and tried to investigate, and that’s when he discovered it. He attacked Ye Feng, and I couldn’t stop him in time…” Long Tian’s face showed helplessness.
“He told me that in three days, Ye Feng will lose all his cultivation,” Long Tian said, his voice tinged with bitterness. He knew that if Ye Feng really lost his cultivation, he might blame him, even if not outright, but there would definitely be distance between them. That was the last thing he wanted to see.

“Isn’t there any other way to save him? That person should have a way to retrieve his technique, right?” Pearl asked anxiously. “Long Tian, you have to understand that if Ye Feng really loses all his cultivation skills, you and he might even stop being brothers! He once had great power; how can he accept living as an ordinary person now?”
“I’ve asked. His strength has been greatly reduced now, and he’s unable to retrieve that technique,” Long Tian said helplessly, shaking his head. “But I’ll find a way. I can’t let Ye Feng hate me for life!”
“His energy is very unstable, which means he’s in great danger!” Kastedio shouted to everyone. “Come and help!”
At that moment, louder noises and terrifying screams came from outside the hall. When silence fell outside, everyone looked warily toward the door.
A tall man in golden armor stood there, his left palm covered in blood that kept dripping to the ground. With a sinister smile, he scanned the crowd before fixing his gaze on the unconscious Ye Feng.
“Hand him over,” the man in golden armor said, raising his right hand and pointing in Ye Feng’s direction.
“Are you from the Demon Realm’s Execution Army?” Fat recognized his identity at once from his attire. But Fat’s expression wasn’t relaxed; it seemed this so-called Execution Army was quite difficult to deal with.
“Oh! I didn’t expect someone to know about us!” the man in golden armor laughed loudly. “You guys have reached the Heavenly Immortal level yet still stay in this realm. You must have done something wrong!”
“That’s none of your business. We’re not from the Demon Realm, so you have no right to arrest us!” Fat and the others subtly stepped in front of Ye Feng, shielding him behind them.
“The most powerful experts in the entire cultivation world have gathered in just one place—quite interesting!” The man in golden armor casually sized up Fat and the others.
“What’s going on?” A man with a powerful aura suddenly appeared beside Fat and the others. His aura was even stronger than Fat’s and Lilith’s.
“Interesting,” the man in golden armor stared at the newcomer for a while. “Your cultivation technique is quite special!”
The newcomer was Meng Shan, who had just come out of the cauldron.
“I just received the news that the boss has returned. What happened to the boss? Who is this man?” Meng Shan couldn’t help but ask.

“I’ll explain the details about the blade to you later. Let’s deal with this big problem first!” Fat stared intently at the man in golden armor, afraid he might take action.
“He’s strong!” Meng Shan watched him for a while before uttering those words.
“I’ll just wait until everyone arrives!” The man in golden armor crossed his arms, seemingly still waiting for something. “Huh, two kids? Their cultivation isn’t bad at all!”
Seeing the man’s reaction, Fat and the others were puzzled. After all, aside from Bernard and the two beasts, Xiao Yu, almost everyone else had arrived.
However, since the opponent wasn’t attacking, it was actually a good thing for them. If a fight really broke out, although they were in the majority, their chances of winning were slim.
In just a few breaths, another disturbance arose in space. This time, it was two teenagers who appeared to be around thirteen or fourteen years old.
One was dressed in pure white, with a cold gaze, while the other wore black robes, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
The two teenagers scanned the area, pausing briefly on the unconscious Ye Feng before fixing their gaze on the man in golden armor.
“Xiao Yu, let’s kill him!” The boy in black clenched his fists tightly, a hint of crimson appearing in his originally black eyes.
The boy in white said nothing, but a fierce killing intent flashed in his cold eyes. “You deserve to die!”
As soon as he spoke, he disappeared.
“Huh.” Even the man in golden armor let out an exclamation of surprise, clearly taken aback by the white-clad boy’s sudden disappearance.
“Hmph, die!” The boy in black sent ten black whips flying from his fingers, which intertwined to form a black net.
The man in golden armor was instantly trapped, but he didn’t resist, showing only an indifferent expression.
At that moment, green needles suddenly emerged from the joints of the whips, piercing into the gaps in his armor.
“What?” The man in golden armor was shocked. His immense energy surged forth, trying to shake off the whips.
“It’s useless. This is the Immortal-Annihilating Vine I worked hard to obtain. It ignores all energy barriers. Your armor is nothing but decoration to it. Trying to shake it off with energy is impossible. The more you struggle, the tighter it will get,” the boy in black sneered. “For daring to hurt our boss, you should be prepared to die!”
“Doom’s Punishment!” The voice of the boy in white echoed across the entire planet.

Everyone looked up and immediately dropped their jaws, unable to close them for a long time. In the sky, a cluster of over a dozen meteorites was falling from the heavens with terrifying flames. Fat and the others saw that all the meteorites had a triangular shape with a sharp tip, rotating at an almost imperceptible speed. The blazing flames at their tails and their entire fiery red appearance left no doubt about the intensity of this attack. “Damn, are they trying to kill us all as well?” Fat couldn’t help but curse. “Who are these two kids? So strong!” Long Tian’s face was filled with shock. “It must be Xiao Yu and Xiao Bei who took the Transformation Pills,” Lilith said, clearly still not optimistic about them. “Interesting. You two little guys must be from the demon race, right?” The man in golden armor wasn’t panicked at all; in an instant, he grew eight hands and grabbed eight strands of the emerald-green Immortal-Annihilating Vines. “Kids, let me tell you something common sense: the Immortal-Annihilating Vines indeed ignore any energy from the celestial realm, but pure physical attacks can deal them heavy damage.” As soon as he finished speaking, he twisted with a fierce expression and forcefully tore the vines apart, throwing them on the ground. Bernard hadn’t expected the opponent to be so strong. He knew the Immortal-Annihilating Vines couldn’t ignore pure physical attacks, but even with his strength, he couldn’t damage them at all. Yet this man had torn them apart outright—something he never could have imagined. “That move is interesting too!” The man in golden armor grinned widely and looked up at the sky. At that moment, the meteorites in the sky accelerated sharply and crashed to the ground. With several loud booms, thick dust rose from the ground, covering the man in golden armor. “Did it work?” Zhuge Ling’er and the others shouted excitedly. But the white-clothed youth looked displeased. When the dust settled slightly, everyone saw a shocking scene: the man in golden armor had grown over a dozen hands and caught all the falling meteorites. The dust on the ground wasn’t caused by the meteorites hitting the ground but by the man’s feet crushing the ground beneath him. “Hehe…” The man in golden armor tossed the meteorites aside and laughed excitedly, “What other moves do you have? Use them all!”
