"Blood-Devouring Mantis, stop running! Let's fight for real, have a go! If we lose, you can kill us as you please. If you lose, become my Battle Pet! How about it?"
Relying on the Secret Method and a continuous supply of Spirit Crystals, despite the huge gap in strength, Luo Wuming actually managed to catch up to the rapidly fleeing Blood-Devouring Mantis. Ye Feng also looked seriously at the Blood-Devouring Mantis flying alongside them and stated his terms for the match.
"No fight!"
"I already returned those ten drops of Great Yao Essence Blood to you! Please, I beg you, let me go!"
Looking at the serious Ye Feng beside him, the Blood-Devouring Mantis felt like going mad. If the other party didn't have confidence, would they dare chase after him and issue a challenge?
Even though he could directly attack Luo Wuming now, he absolutely didn't dare!
"Ye Feng, quickly think of something! I can't hold on much longer!"
Luo Wuming quickly reminded him in a low voice at this moment.
"Grandmaster, use all your strength to overtake him, then just throw me off alone! At his speed, he definitely can't stop immediately. Then I'll be in danger, and everything will be resolved."
Hearing this, Ye Feng pondered for three seconds and quickly stated his idea.
If there's no crisis, create a crisis!
Luo Wuming started accelerating again, simultaneously making a mental note: if Ye Feng encountered danger, something far beyond his imagination might happen.
"Ye Feng, be careful!"
Overtaking the Blood-Devouring Mantis by ten meters, Luo Wuming moved directly into a straight line path with it, then pushed Ye Feng off the Flying Sword while plummeting downwards rapidly himself on the sword.
Ten meters!
At the Blood-Devouring Mantis's current terrifying flight speed, it was merely the blink of an eye. Before Ye Feng's body could even fall far, the bewildered Blood-Devouring Mantis appeared right before him. Its terrifying forward momentum was enough for it to directly smash Ye Feng's fragile body into a blood mist!
"Harm not my Lord!"
At this critical moment, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped this space. Whether it was the Blood-Devouring Mantis still charging forward or Luo Wuming plummeting rapidly below, at this moment, they were all frozen in place. Apart from their eyeballs being able to move, their entire bodies couldn't move in the slightest.
A burly man clad in golden battle armor tore space and appeared directly before the two humans and one Yao.
As the golden-armored burly man walked step by step towards Ye Feng, the space wherever he passed collapsed. Utterly terrifying!
Seeing this scene, the Blood-Devouring Mantis was already scared out of his wits. Its eyes filled with tears of remorse Why did it provoke this terrifying human? If it hadn't provoked him, how could it have encountered this fatal danger!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, thunder boomed in the sky. A Tribulation Cloud radiating endless heavenly might rapidly condensed overhead.
"Noisy!"
The golden-armored burly man abruptly looked up at the condensed Tribulation Cloud in the sky, roared angrily, and with a flash of golden light in his hand, swung his golden battle saber fiercely towards the Tribulation Cloud!
Boom!
A golden Saber Qi hundreds of zhang long tore through space, carrying an indomitable might as it directly cleaved the Tribulation Cloud in two!
Inducing a tribulation!
Tearing space!
This golden-armored warrior is an Upper Realm expert!
Madness! Below, Luo Wuming, seeing this scene, was so shocked his eyes nearly popped out. He didn't even dare to speculate about Ye Feng's identity anymore. Putting aside everything else, just this golden-armored warrior who could shatter a Tribulation Cloud with one slash was likely an extremely terrifying existence even in the Upper Realm.
Crying!
The Blood-Devouring Mantis, being the closest, was already scared to tears. The aura of the Tribulation Cloud just now was freaking more terrifying than the ninth Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulation, yet it was actually split in half by a single slash! What kind of terrifying existence had it provoked?!
"My Lord, shall I obliterate the immediate danger?"
The golden-armored warrior arrived before Ye Feng, knelt on one knee, and asked with utmost respect.
"You are a member of the Divine Magnate Guard?"
"Are you the only one?"
Ye Feng looked at the boundlessly domineering guard member clad in golden battle armor before him and asked curiously.
"My Lord, based on the current crisis you are facing, I alone am sufficient to resolve it."
"The members of the Divine Magnate Guard number in the countless thousands. Different numbers of members will be dispatched depending on the severity of your crisis."
The golden-armored warrior explained respectfully.
Crazy! Crazy!
This terrifying golden-armored warrior... there are countless thousands more like him?! You're just a Qi Movement Realm underling! Does your identity need to be this terrifying?! I'm freaking about to be scared to death!
The Blood-Devouring Mantis nearby, hearing the conversation between the two, was about to go mad with fear.
"Is that so!"
"Alright, the crisis here has been lifted. You can go back first. If he tries to kill me again, you come back. Not too much trouble, right?"
Ye Feng looked at the golden-armored warrior and asked directly.
"No trouble. To be able to serve My Lord is our honor."
Finished speaking, the golden-armored warrior stood up, glared angrily at the Blood-Devouring Mantis, then directly tore space bare-handed and vanished before the eyes of the two humans and one Yao.
"Now I give you two choices: either become my Battle Pet, or die. You only get one chance."
Ye Feng looked at the Blood-Devouring Mantis kneeling before him and directly presented the options. Although he quite liked this Blood-Devouring Mantis Great Yao, if it kept dilly-dallying and didn't know what was good for it, he wasn't in the mood to spoil it. At worst, he could just catch another Blood-Devouring Mantis later; it wasn't like it had to be this specific one.
Hm?
Seeing a bizarre blood inscription gradually emerge out of thin air before him, Ye Feng was also baffled, completely unable to understand what it was.
"Heavenly Dao Blood Contract!"
"Just drip a drop of fresh blood onto this Heavenly Dao Blood Contract, and everything about this Great Yao will be under your control."
At this moment, Luo Wuming, riding his Flying Sword back up, directly explained.
Watching Ye Feng quickly complete the process to acknowledge master via the Heavenly Dao Blood Contract, Luo Wuming actually felt somewhat envious of the Blood-Devouring Mantis before him. Being able to follow by the side of a prodigal Divine Magnate like Ye Feng, its future achievements would no longer have an upper limit.
They set off again, only this time Ye Feng and Luo Wuming were both sitting on the Blood-Devouring Mantis's back. After all, Luo Wuming had used a Secret Method and now needed to recuperate properly.
Not to mention, the Blood-Devouring Mantis's speed was countless times faster than him riding his sword.
"Ye Feng, who exactly are you?"
After a moment, Luo Wuming finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Ye Feng.
"Grandmaster, I am just me. Master's Eldest Direct Disciple."
Hearing this, Ye Feng didn't want to explain too much, because it couldn't be explained clearly anyway. Better to state his identity simply with one sentence.
"Hahaha!"
Luo Wuming was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then couldn't help but burst out laughing. He didn't pursue Ye Feng's identity further, but he knew, with Ye Feng around, the Xingji Sect was truly about to take off!
Time passed. As the sky gradually dimmed, the two humans and one Yao finally arrived before the Teleportation Tower nearest the Xingji Sect leading to the Heavenly Dao Battlefield.
