Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 499 - 495: Striking Back at the Brink of Death
As Ye Feng's voice fell, he soared into the sky, and even under such strong gravity, he remained incredibly swift; in the blink of an eye, he had already streaked past.
Meanwhile, Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, Leng Wuming, and others had all swiftly come over. However, the rest of the team members didn't follow and just stopped at the edge of the lake, partly because the gravity of the Outer Battlefield was too great for them to remain airborne for long, and partly because this deep blue lake was too peculiar.
More precisely, the water in the lake was too terrifying. It could spontaneously combust and if one were to fall into the lake, it would likely be a situation of nine deaths and one life.
"Cultivators from Xuanyuan Nation?"
The three Fusang Yin-Yang Masters couldn't help but change their expressions, but the next moment, they sneered. Showing disdain, they sneered, "They are not cultivators but mere martial artists. They indeed have guts for such martial artists to try to snatch the prize!"
After nearly a hundred years of competition, the power balance between the two nations had been roughly understood by everyone. The martial artists from Xuanyuan Nation were about equivalent to the ninjas and samurai from Fusang Sword Saint Palace, while the Fusang Yin-Yang Masters were on par with the cultivators from Xuanyuan Nation. Therefore, the three Yin-Yang Masters, upon seeing that the others were only martial artists, immediately showed a scornful look.
After all, for cultivators, overpowering martial artists was typically a crushing defeat of a lower dimension.
"That's not right, there are a few cultivators among them, but their Realm is too low. Not even reaching the Golden Core Realm, they think of snatching; truly ignorant of their own limitations," one of the Yin-Yang Masters sneered coldly.
The few cultivators were undoubtedly Ye Feng, Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, Leng Wuming, and others. However, as the Yin-Yang Master just mentioned, Ye Feng and others were currently only at the Foundation Establishment Stage and hadn't yet stepped onto the path of the Golden Core Great Dao.
Ye Feng kept silent, his gaze intently fixed on the huge deep blue creature. Only now, at such close range, did he truly sense the creature's violent aura. Its aura was simply too horrifying, even stronger than that of an average Golden Core Realm cultivator, no wonder these three Yin-Yang Masters had to expend so much effort to trap it.
The gigantic creature struggled frantically but was firmly bound by the talisman, unable to escape. However, it was evident that the two Yin-Yang Masters casting the Curse Technique were also reaching a very difficult stage, approaching their limits.
As for the central Yin-Yang Master, he had already been wounded earlier, and at this moment, his energy was extremely feeble.
"I'll hold them off. You quickly take the beast core from this creature. If we allow it to enter the lake, all our efforts will be in vain," the central Yin-Yang Master suddenly said.
The Yin-Yang Master on the left questioned, "Lord Beya, you're already wounded, are you sure you can stop them?"
The central Onmyoji Beya sneered, "They are just a few Xuanyuan Nation Foundation Establishment cultivators. Don't worry; I have more than enough to handle them. Just go ahead with your action."
"Alright, once we take the beast core, we will come back to assist Lord Beya. Then, we will surely eliminate all these Xuanyuan Nation martial artists!" The two Yin-Yang Masters said, and once again, energy surged within them, the talisman tightened swiftly as if they were about to close the net.
Ye Feng asked with a serious tone, "Xiao Chuanqi, you three, do you have the confidence to hold off this guy?"
Xiao Chuanqi immediately replied, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, it won't be a problem."
"Your Majesty, just go ahead and seize the beast core; leave this old thing to us!" Sima Zhantian was brimming with fighting spirit.
Almost in an instant, Xiao Chuan rode out a sword out of thin air, while a brightly shining golden blade appeared in Sima Zhantian's hand. Leng Wuming, with slightly inferior cultivation, provided support from the side.
"Mere Foundation Establishment Realm's cultivation, truly courting death!" Onmyoji Beya quickly formed a Dharma Seal with his hands, and soon a talisman rushed towards the three.
"Break!" Xiao Chuan's sword sliced through the air, the long Sword Momentum like a comet sweeping across the sky horizon.
Sima Zhantian's blade was bold and powerful, swinging down with enough force to change the color of the winds and clouds. With their combined sword and blade attack, Onmyoji Beya's talisman immediately shattered.
"What!" Onmyoji Beya's face suddenly changed dramatically. He had not anticipated that two mere Foundation Establishment individuals could break his talisman with a single move.
"How could you possibly do this!" Onmyoji Beya had to be shocked, although to a large extent it was because his injuries had diminished his combat power. More than that, it was the terrifying combat strength of Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian.
Despite being at the Foundation Establishment Realm, their special physiques meant that if they went all out, they might not be powerless against an ordinary Golden Core Grandmaster.
"Kill!" Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian exchanged glances; the silver Immortal Sword and the golden Immortal Blade rose up again, slashing towards Onmyoji Beya.
"Barrier Guardian Spell!" Onmyoji Beya, not daring to be careless, formed Seal Formations rapidly with his hands. In a flash, a surge of energy erupted from within him, creating a giant Barrier Talisman to shield himself.
The silver Immortal Sword and the great Immortal Blade crashed down, only to be stopped by the powerful Barrier Guardian Spell, unable to advance any further. However, this still required Onmyoji Beya to use all his remaining energy to defend against Xiao Chuanqi's and Sima Zhantian's attacks; otherwise, he couldn't have held them off. It seemed that both parties were temporarily at a stalemate, but since Onmyoji Beya was injured, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"Dammit, those two are much too strong. We must quickly deal with this creature and get the beast core; otherwise, Lord Beya will be in danger!" The two Yin-Yang Masters said.
At this moment, Ye Feng was intently staring at the two people but did not immediately choose to strike. Of course, though the two Onmyoji did take notice of Ye Feng, they simply didn't care. After all, they didn't think much of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"Shikigami, go!" Having no other options, the two Onmyoji once again commanded their three shikigami to charge at the enormous azure monster.
However, what no one expected was that just as the four shikigami rushed in, the body of the monster suddenly erupted with terrifying flames, instantly engulfing the four shikigami. The shikigami struggled frantically to escape, but within a moment, they were incinerated.
But as a result, the monstrous creature became even weaker, no longer able to resist, and was completely trapped by the talisman.
"Damn it, even at death's door, it still had to strike back!" The two Onmyoji were seething with rage, as summoning and nurturing a shikigami were not easy feats. Now that they had lost two shikigami at once, their hearts ached unbearably.
"I'll bind it to prevent any deception, you quickly retrieve its beast core!" the Onmyoji on the left ordered.
The Onmyoji on the right instantly sprang into action, spreading his enormous Yin-Yang robe and swept toward the monster.
"Now is the time!" Ye Feng's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he made his move. The Emperor's Sword materialized in an instant, and he slashed horizontally through the air.
The Onmyoji had not expected Ye Feng to strike at this critical moment, and even if he had, he would never have imagined the opponent's power to be so terrifying.
The Sword of the King was too dreadful; its Sword Qi was world-destroying, and its speed unbelievably fast. In just an instant, it was already above his head. By the time the Onmyoji thought to form a Dharma Seal to conjure a talisman, it was already too late.
With a thunderous boom!
The Onmyoji was directly bisected by a single strike and was undeniably dead. These Fusang Onmyoji, though they possessed layers of powerful talisman techniques, had relatively weak flesh bodies. Once someone managed to get close enough to attack, it usually spelled extreme danger for them.
"Ah, you damned thing, you actually... actually killed him!" The other Onmyoji erupted like thunder, his entire being nearly going mad.
Ye Feng turned his head to gaze at him and said word by word, "I not only wanted to kill him, but I also want to kill you!"
Even before his words had fallen, a black long spear suddenly appeared from the void, whooshing as it tore through the air.
By this time, the Onmyoji was prepared, quickly forming a Dharma Seal. In an instant, a Barrier Guardian Spell materialized in front of him.
Yet, the next moment, the Onmyoji was dumbfounded because his supposedly strong Barrier Guardian Spell crumbled like paper when faced with the black spear. The black spear pierced through the Barrier Guardian Spell with absolute dominance, as easily as cutting through tofu.
"No..." The Onmyoji only managed to let out a resentful roar of indignation before the black spear pierced through his throat, killing him instantly.
At that moment, no longer bound by the Curse Seal, the massive creature suddenly twisted its body, attempting to burrow into the depths of the lake.

"Thinking of running away!" Ye Feng had long anticipated this moment. With a wave of his hand, another Sky-breaking Long Spear materialized, and then shot forth, piercing the monster's head before it could dive beneath the lake surface.
At this time, several team members who had been lingering by the lake's edge suddenly leapt up, seemingly aiming to seize the beast core.
However well they may have planned, how could their speed possibly match Ye Feng's? With a single flash, he reached the monster's side, and reaching out with a large hand, he extracted a white beast core, the size of a pigeon's egg, from the blasted head.
Only then did the team members, including Li Benzhong, make their approach.
Ye Feng turned to look at them and sneered, "What brings you all here at this time? What do you want to do?"
The team members could only offer a sheepish smile: "Aren't we here because we're concerned for your safety, Captain, and thought to come over and lend a hand?"
Ye Feng laughed coldly, "If you wanted to lend a hand, you should be helping Xiao Chuanqi and the others, not coming over here, right?"
Now, the team members had no response, but their eyes remained glued to the beast core in Ye Feng's hands, clearly understanding that the beast core contained the essence of a demonic beast's life and was immensely beneficial for cultivating.
Ye Feng simply flipped his wrist and pocketed the beast core, then finally turned his head towards Xiao Chuanqi's side.
Just then, Onmyoji Beya, who had been struggling fiercely, saw his two companions slain in succession and instantly thought of retreat. Just as Ye Feng turned to look over, the last remaining shikigami launched itself straight at Xiao Chuanqi and the others.
"Be careful..." Seeing this, Ye Feng's expression drastically changed.
