Yang Tangting led a group of people in their escape, and the strength of the two of them naturally went without saying. Without the obstruction of the Mengmeng bird, no one was their match.
But even so, they were not having an easy time. The hundred or so people brought by the Mengmeng bird were all formidable cultivators, and the few at the front even possessed the strength of high grade emperors.
If Yang Tangting and Su Banshi faced them alone, they would naturally have no fear. However, at this moment, they were also leading over a hundred people, making it extremely strenuous to protect them all.
“Ah Huang, take them and go!” Su Banshi shouted to Ah Huang and the others after blocking the crowd, various powers constantly rolling out, shaking and killing the group besieging them.
As he spoke, they continuously deployed various marvellous techniques, blocking the front, using the strength of just the two of them to hold off all these people, feeling immensely strained.
Several attacks landed on their bodies, beating them until they spewed blood. With cuts and bruises all over their bodies, they gritted their teeth and held on, resisting the front without retreating a single step, buying time for Zhong Wei and her group to escape.
“Reckless fools! Kill them all, leave no one alive!” the strong expert besieging Yang Tangting roared, his power surging even more violently. Every single impact was incredibly domineering, striking straight for the vital points of the two, wanting to break through them and kill this group of youths.
Zhong Wei and the group retreated, watching Yang Tangting and the other grit their teeth and hold the line, their bodies covered in countless bloody marks, their exquisitely beautiful faces showing a trace of desolation.
If the fight continued like this, the two of them, Yang Tangting and Su Banshi, would probably not be able to hold on much longer.
“Go!” Yang Tangting and the others roared, heaven defying power surging out, like a tsunami, rolling forward and crashing into the group, forcing them to retreat several steps, buying some precious time for Zhong Wei and her group.
Ah Huang and the others gritted their teeth, leading the group and running quickly into the distance.
“Ah…” Not long after Ah Huang and the others had run a short distance, the miserable screams of Yang Tangting and the others reached their ears.
The opposing hundred people surrounded them, continuously unleashing fierce attacks. The two did not dodge or evade, using their own strength to block the front, not allowing a single person to pass.
Just as everyone was turning bloodshot eyed with worry for Yang Tangting and the others, from above the void, an ancient vine resembling a giant python sprayed down with murderous aura. As it rolled and killed, over a dozen cultivators were caught in the murderous aura and corroded into white bones. Ye Chu appeared in front of Yang Tangting, the murderous aura permeating the surroundings, and Ye Chu looked at Yang Tangting and said, “You take them and go, I will hold these people off!”
Yang Tangting was overjoyed, not expecting Ye Chu to break free from the Mengmeng bird so quickly. Seeing that no one dared to step forward while Ye Chu danced with murderous aura, he and Su Banshi exchanged a glance, then immediately leapt away into the distance, leading the crowd to move quickly.
Watching Yang Tangting leave, the crowd that had been besieging them was also terrified in their hearts, staring straight at Ye Chu, who stood at the front dancing with murderous aura.
“Did Lord Mengmeng bird fail to keep him here?”
The shock in the hearts of the crowd was unimaginable. How formidable was the Mengmeng bird? Yet he had actually managed to shake off the opponent so quickly. Looking at the dozen or so white bones in front of Ye Chu, and then watching the murderous aura dance before him, they exchanged glances and gripped their weapons even tighter.
“I already beat the Mengmeng bird away. What? Do you still want to come up?” Ye Chu stared at the group and said.
Ye Chu’s words made these people show expressions of shock, but soon someone roared angrily, “Who are you trying to scare? How could Lord War General be defeated by you.”
Ye Chu shrugged and said, “If you are not afraid of death, just come at me.”
After speaking, Ye Chu’s murderous aura danced, and with every movement, heaven and earth corroded with a hissing sound, making people feel deeply unsettled.
Unlike Yang Tangting, the deterrent power of the murderous aura was far too great for them. With Ye Chu standing at the front, no one dared to make the first move.
“If you do not dare to come, then get the hell out of here!” Ye Chu shouted at the group.
These people exchanged glances, thinking about how even the Mengmeng bird had failed to keep the opponent. Knowing that continuing to fight would not help them defeat him, especially since the opponent now had three strong experts, it was impossible to keep them here.
“Do not get too smug. This time we let you escape, but next time you will face even more strong experts,” the opponent stared at Ye Chu and roared.
Ye Chu shrugged and said, “If you are not afraid of death, come!”
“Let us go!” the few high grade emperors at the front roared, snorted, and led the group away quickly. Without the Mengmeng bird presiding, they truly did not dare to fight the person in front of them.
Seeing these people leave, Ye Chu finally flashed his figure and quickly chased after Yang Tangting and the others.
Seeing Ye Chu arrive, Zhong Wei’s exquisitely beautiful face revealed joy, her smiling face blooming, “Are you alright?”
Ye Chu shook his head and said, “I am fine! However, that guy is truly strong. I fought to a draw with him, and it would be extremely difficult to kill him. I am afraid that the news of you following us will spread very soon.”
“Fought to a draw with him?” Yang Tangting stared at Ye Chu with wide eyes, his heart shaken immensely. He had originally thought Ye Chu had simply shaken off the opponent and escaped, not expecting such a result.
Yang Tangting had originally been jealous that Ye Chu could make Zhong Wei look at him with special favour, but at this moment, there was not a trace of jealousy in his heart. He could not be jealous of someone who could fight the Mengmeng bird to a draw.
“Thank you, sir, for saving our lives!” Yang Tangting and Su Banshi cupped their hands and thanked Ye Chu.
Ye Chu shook his head and said, “No need to be polite! However, we only beat them back. They definitely will not give up, and…”
Ye Chu paused here, looked at Zhong Wei, and said, “The Mengmeng bird has seen you, and it should not take long for them to figure out your identity. When that time comes, the trouble will be even greater.”
Zhong Wei gave a bitter smile and said, “If it really comes to that, I will just go with them.”
Hearing Zhong Wei say this, Ye Chu replied, “There is no rush for that, let us see first. If it is only the Mengmeng bird and a few high grade emperors, they still cannot take you away. I only fear they will dispatch even stronger war generals to come!”
Zhong Wei showed a worried expression, “Do not worry, if it really comes to that time, at worst I will go with him. For my sake, he will not make things difficult for you.”
Ye Chu did not dwell on Zhong Wei’s worst case scenario, and instead turned to look at Yang Tangting and said, “I actually have a good place to go. As long as we reach there, unless a Supreme Being goes there, no one can do anything to us.”
“Where?” Yang Tangting’s eyes lit up.
“It is very far from here, we have to pass through a passage, that place is called Mount Xia,” Ye Chu answered him. That place was the sacred ground of the Wu clan. As long as they could reach there, unless a Supreme Being took action, who could break the sacred ground of the Wu clan.
“So far?” Yang Tangting’s eyes instantly dimmed. It was too far. He was afraid that before they even arrived, the Mengmeng bird would bring people to surround and kill them.
“Let us head that way first. Young Master Ye Chu, if it really reaches a point where we cannot resist, I beg you to take care of these children,” Yang Tangting bowed and paid his respects to Ye Chu.
“I naturally will not sit by and ignore it! But you do not need to worry too much, it has not reached that point yet. It is a pity that my few senior brothers are not here. Otherwise, even if he came in person, I would have no fear,” Ye Chu said, with a cold light in his eyes!
