Chapter 134 The Might of the Mysterious Dragon
"Too late," Yan Kai said with a ferocious expression.

Just as Ye Feng was about to break through the blockade, an invisible barrier formed, and Ye Feng crashed solidly into this invisible barrier, being bounced back by the force.

Ye Feng frowned as he looked at the barrier in front of him. Although he hadn't been injured in the previous attack, his physical strength was considerable. Yet, he had been completely bounced back, while the barrier hadn't even rippled.

"Go ahead and run, go ahead and run!" Yan Kai laughed from the side, a smug look on his face.

Having suffered a loss at Ye Feng's hands, Yan Kai had long harbored resentment, and now that he could finally vent it, he felt extremely relieved.

Although Yan Kai had determined Ye Feng's location long ago, he was still some distance away from Ye Feng's location. Yan Kai, along with the thirteen protectors, had to avoid some magical beasts along the way, so he finally found Ye Feng just before dawn.

At the same time, Yan Kai was also most impressed by Ye Feng's strength. Therefore, after finding Ye Feng, Yan Kai immediately ordered the thirteen guardians to set up an array, and he had no intention of sneaking up on Ye Feng. He did not want to fight Ye Feng head-on again, as such serious injuries would damage his cultivation if they happened a few more times.

"Kid, you didn't expect that, did you? We had already tampered with those two martial artists. We got the news as soon as they died." Yan Kai laughed maniacally. In his mind, victory was already in his grasp. "I didn't expect you to kill people and not run away. How naive of you."

Ye Feng thought to himself, "This is bad." The power of these thirteen formations was indeed very strong, even stronger than Ye Feng had imagined. Although Ye Feng had not used any martial arts techniques, the force of the impact from his physical body was still very powerful.

This immense power did not cause any fluctuations in the formation at all, which clearly demonstrates the formation's strength.

At this moment, Ye Feng finally realized that his position had been exposed because of the two martial artists last night. Ye Feng was careless and did not expect Yan Kai to have so many tricks up his sleeve, which was also beyond Ye Feng's expectations.

Ye Feng was anxious. Although the formation had only temporarily trapped him, judging from Yan Kai's confident demeanor, Ye Feng did not believe that the formation could only trap him. There must be other dangers hidden within the formation, but it just needed time to prepare. Once the Thirteen Protectors successfully prepared the formation's killing move, he would probably be in grave danger.

As expected, Yan Kai appeared calm and unhurried, even engaging Ye Feng in conversation to buy time, showing no intention of personally coming up to fight Ye Feng.

This formation is the strongest that the Thirteen Protectors can use. It is the "Taiyi Thirteen Formation," which combines super-strong defensive and offensive power. The Taiyi Thirteen Formation must be used simultaneously by thirteen martial artists who understand formations. The Taiyi Thirteen Formation can completely combine the true energy of the thirteen martial artists for defense or offense. Therefore, it is entirely reasonable that it easily blocked Ye Feng's attack.

However, the Taiyi Thirteen Formations also have their biggest weakness. For example, the preparation time required to activate this formation is too long. Under such circumstances, it is easy for martial artists to evade the range of the formation. Once they escape the control range of the formation, the Taiyi Thirteen Formations become a useless existence.

However, after many formation masters modified the Taiyi Thirteen Formations, the current method of using the Taiyi Thirteen Formations was formed. This method is to first activate the trapping formation of the Taiyi Thirteen Formations to trap the enemy in the formation, and then, after enough time, slowly prepare the killing formation of the Taiyi Thirteen Formations to attack the enemy in the formation.

It must be said that although such improvements seem troublesome, they have indeed made the Taiyi Thirteen Formations much more applicable.

Now, the true energy within the thirteen guardians is constantly surging out, forming a wondrous connection with the Taiyi Thirteen Formations. It seems that the killing formation will be completely completed soon.

"If I don't act now, it might be too late," Ye Feng thought to himself. He had to break the formation before it was fully completed, or he would have no chance of turning the tide.

The two streams of true energy separated and converged within Ye Feng's body, unleashing powerful flames and lightning. At the same moment, Ye Feng activated the auxiliary secret technique, the power of gods and demons.

The power of the Thunderfire Strike amplified by the power of gods and demons is extraordinary, a fact that Yan Kai has experienced most deeply. Seeing Ye Feng's actions, Yan Kai was also somewhat worried. After all, Yan Kai had a clear understanding of the power of the Thunderfire Strike, but he was not very confident about the strength of the Taiyi Thirteen Formations, as he did not understand formations.

Faced with such immense power, each of the thirteen guardians wore a solemn expression, and without prior agreement, they all poured more true energy into reinforcing the defenses of the Taiyi Thirteen Formations.

The violent power of the Thunderfire Strike struck the defensive barrier, creating deafening explosions. The barrier itself trembled violently due to the force of the Thunderfire Strike.

Although the formation appeared somewhat disheveled and on the verge of collapse, it ultimately managed to block Ye Feng's attack. After Ye Feng's Thunderfire Strike, the barrier of the Taiyi Thirteen Formations only appeared somewhat dimmed, but the defensive barrier still stood in front of Ye Feng, preventing him from leaving.

Although the thirteen protectors were all sweating profusely, and dealing with Ye Feng's Thunderfire Kill was not easy, the combined efforts of the thirteen of them meant that the energy expenditure per person was still within their tolerance.

Originally, the Taiyi Thirteen Formation was a grand formation formed by the combined efforts of thirteen guardians. Moreover, the defending side always has a certain advantage. Furthermore, the Taiyi Thirteen Formation can remember the surrounding天地力 (heaven and earth power) and recover quickly. On the other hand, Ye Feng cannot absorb the surrounding天地力 (heaven and earth power) within the Taiyi Thirteen Formation, so his strength recovery speed will be much slower.

Therefore, Ye Feng is already in a disadvantageous position. The Thirteen Protectors seem to still have some strength left, while Ye Feng has also consumed a lot of energy after his Thunderfire Strike. Although he still has enough power in his body to unleash Thunderfire Strike once more, even if he breaks through the defensive barrier, Ye Feng will probably be completely exhausted. At that time, he will definitely not be a match for Yan Kai.

What to do? Ye Feng is now in a dilemma. If he goes all out, he will run out of manpower and may not be able to escape. If he doesn't go all out, the killing formation will probably become even more dangerous, and he will likely be in grave danger.

"Never mind, I'll risk it all. This formation is too strange; I have to escape first." After a brief moment of thought, Ye Feng had his answer.

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's too late." Yan Kai chuckled evilly. Looking at the energy bursting from Ye Feng's body, Yan Kai naturally knew what Ye Feng wanted to do. However, unfortunately, the Taiyi Thirteen Formations had already been completed at this moment.

Yan Kai was always cautious. Now that the Taiyi Thirteen Formations were complete, Yan Kai would naturally not give Ye Feng any chance to break through the formation, because in Yan Kai’s view, such a situation would be an unforeseen tactic, and things might get complicated if things dragged on.

Having perfectly blocked Ye Feng's attack, Yan Kai had gained an understanding of the Taiyi Thirteen Formations. This formation was more than enough to deal with Ye Feng.

"Damn it." Just as Ye Feng was about to unleash his strongest Thunderfire Strike, he sensed a drastic change in the Taiyi Thirteen Formations. What was previously just an ordinary defensive barrier was now emanating a violent and terrifying energy.

Faced with this energy, Ye Feng gasped. The power was even more terrifying than his own Thunderfire Kill. This was a rare moment for Ye Feng to feel the danger of death. Compared to the strength of the attack, Ye Feng knew that his defensive strength was relatively weak. Therefore, the formation posed a strong threat to Ye Feng.

Despite facing the impending terrifying threat, Ye Feng remained remarkably calm. At this moment, Ye Feng felt no fear of death whatsoever. Since he couldn't defend against it, Ye Feng didn't intend to defend anymore. The power of the Thunderfire Kill never ceased; Ye Feng was determined to confront it head-on.

The wind bird that had been perched on a tree trunk near Ye Feng also let out a startled cry. The wind bird had clearly sensed Ye Feng's predicament, but since it hadn't even recovered its wind-walking ability yet, it was obviously unable to help.

Just as Ye Feng was preparing to fight desperately, a startling cry suddenly came from mid-air.

The startled cry seemed to be a response to the cry of the windbird.

After the startled cry, a powerful energy spread through the air, and as this energy spread, gusts of wind swept around Ye Feng.

Sensing this power, Ye Feng was astonished. He was still inside the formation, which had sealed off his connection to external energy. Yet, this whirlwind of energy seemed completely unaffected by the formation. How could Ye Feng not be alarmed?

The thirteen guardians all wore expressions of shock, and at the same time, they were desperately trying to urge their true energy to resist this power, including Yan Kai who was standing to the side.

This force was primarily directed at the Thirteen Protectors and Yan Kai; what Ye Feng sensed was merely the aftershock of this force.

Finally, a massive body flew into everyone's view. "It's a dragon bird!" Yan Kai exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

The dragon bird's body shape is somewhat like a dragon and somewhat like a bird. The dragon bird's head is the majestic dragon head of the dragon race, and it also has a pair of dragon horns on its head. However, the dragon bird's tail is somewhat like a bird's, hence the name dragon bird.

The dragon bird also has another name, Xuanlong, and in ancient times, it is said that Xuanlong was also known as the wind god.

Seeing this, Yan Kai naturally understood where the terrifying wind elemental power had come from. Now, Yan Kai could only hope that the Xuanlong was merely passing through and didn't take him seriously at all. Such a divine dragon possessed its own pride and wouldn't necessarily pay attention to others.

However, when Yan Kai saw Xuanlong looking down at everyone, his heart sank to the bottom.

Ye Feng also noticed Xuanlong's actions. It was clear that Xuanlong had noticed them long ago. Ye Feng turned to look at the Wind Bird. The Wind Bird was also a wind-attribute magical beast. Could it be that it had some connection with Xuanlong? Otherwise, Ye Feng couldn't figure out why Xuanlong would appear here.

As expected, Xuanlong's actions quickly confirmed Ye Feng's guess. When Xuanlong saw the wind bird was injured, Ye Feng clearly felt a flash of anger in Xuanlong's eyes.

"Run!" Yan Kai had also seen this action. Facing the wrath of the Xuanlong, Yan Kai had no time to care about Ye Feng's life or death in the formation. He called on the thirteen protectors to escape from this place as soon as possible.

However, Yan Kai's cry was clearly too late. Xuanlong only let out a slight angry snort, and a powerful air vortex spewed out from Xuanlong's mouth, forming a powerful air bullet that heavily struck the Taiyi Thirteen Formation.

The Taiyi Thirteen Formations, with their formidable defensive power, were as fragile as paper. In a single exchange, the defensive barrier was shattered, the formation was broken, and the thirteen guardians simultaneously coughed up blood. The destruction of the formation, which was connected to their internal power, left all thirteen of them with serious injuries.

The fact that the powerful array that had been blocking his way was so fragile and easily destroyed was hard for Ye Feng to accept.

Yan Kai also became a target of the air blast. Faced with this air blast, Yan Kai was almost powerless to resist and was knocked away.

He flew dozens of meters away and crashed heavily to the ground, seemingly breaking several of his ribs.

Ye Feng used the Heavenly Wind Step, and in the blink of an eye, he had already covered several hundred meters. This Xuanlong was too terrifying. Although it was not attacking him now, Ye Feng still dared not stay there any longer. As for the Thirteen Protectors and Yan Kai, Ye Feng had no mind to care about them now.

As for the wind bird, Ye Feng felt that it seemed to have a connection with the Xuanlong, so Ye Feng was not worried that the wind bird would have any problems.

After running several kilometers in one breath, Ye Feng looked back and saw that Xuanlong had already gotten up and was preparing to fly in another direction. Only then did Ye Feng feel relieved.

Xuanlong was incredibly fast, disappearing from Ye Feng's sight in the blink of an eye. Given its speed, it would be easy for Xuanlong to catch up with Ye Feng. If Xuanlong were to give chase, Ye Feng would have no chance of escaping.

Ye Feng stared in surprise at the direction Xuanlong had gone. He wasn't surprised by Xuanlong's speed or strength, but rather because, in the instant Xuanlong disappeared, Ye Feng seemed to see a woman dressed in white sitting on the back of Xuanlong's body.

Although he was too far away to see the woman's face clearly, Ye Feng was certain that he was seeing a woman. A human appearing on the back of the Xuanlong—could she be the Xuanlong's master? This was hard for Ye Feng to believe.

The wind bird was also on the black dragon's body, and the woman seemed to be checking the wind bird's injuries, which put Ye Feng at ease.

Manipulating the undead rabbit to check on the situation after Xuanlong left, Ye Feng discovered that the Thirteen Protectors and Yan Kai were only seriously injured and did not seem to be in mortal danger. It seemed that Xuanlong had only injured them and had not killed them indiscriminately.

Ye Feng felt a slight regret that Yan Kai hadn't died. Ye Feng had even considered taking this opportunity to kill Yan Kai, since they were all seriously injured and certainly wouldn't be able to unleash their full strength.

However, Ye Feng sensed a large number of martial artists converging in this direction. These people were obviously attracted by the power of the Xuanlong just now. Ye Feng decided to temporarily abandon this plan. If other martial artists were involved, his killing plan would definitely not go smoothly. Judging from their performance in the past few days, many of these martial artists had already been bribed by Yan Kai and others.

In the end, Ye Feng decided not to take the risk and decided to avoid it for a while.

"Huh? What's this?" Among the undead army sent out by Ye Feng, it seemed that one of the undead rabbits had discovered a strange place.

The strange cave entrance shimmered with an odd light, and it seemed to be something extraordinary.

"Could this be the legendary treasure?" Ye Feng wondered to himself. The strange situation at the entrance of this cave made it seem very likely that this was the place where the legendary treasure had appeared, given the widespread rumors about it.

"Let's go take a look anyway." Since it might be a rare treasure, we certainly can't miss it.

However, Ye Feng did not go directly to the place where the treasure appeared. The location of this cave entrance was very hidden, and the light from the cave entrance only appeared occasionally. Most of the time, the cave entrance seemed very ordinary. Under such circumstances, coupled with the monitoring of the undead rabbit, Ye Feng was not worried that anyone would rush into the cave entrance first.

Although Ye Feng was not injured when he was surrounded by Yan Kai, he was still greatly exhausted. Usually, the location where a rare treasure appears is accompanied by great danger, and Ye Feng would not be foolish enough to go looking for a rare treasure in such a physical state.

Ye Feng's top priority is to restore himself to his full strength.

After finding a place to recuperate briefly, Ye Feng's true essence recovered very quickly. Although the consumption was considerable, Ye Feng still quickly recovered all his strength.

"No matter what kind of treasure it is, I must get my hands on it." After witnessing the Xuanlong, Ye Feng realized that his strength was still very insignificant. The appearance of the Xuanlong aroused Ye Feng's determination to seek greater strength.

Furthermore, there was a human woman atop the black dragon. Judging from the situation, the black dragon was clearly her mount. To have such a powerful black dragon as her mount, this woman's strength must be incredibly formidable.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Feng knew that at this moment he had a higher goal in mind.

However, there are no shortcuts in cultivation; one must be down-to-earth. Ye Feng understood this principle. Although he envied the strength of the human woman in front of him, Ye Feng was also very confident. He had a powerful system, and as long as he used pills, he was confident that he could improve to a higher level.

Thinking about this, Ye Feng began to guess what this extraordinary treasure was. In Ye Feng's heart, he most hoped that the extraordinary treasure was a rare medicinal herb that could enhance strength. This was the kind of thing that Ye Feng currently lacked the most and urgently needed.

Using the Heavenly Wind Step to traverse the Southern Wilderness, Ye Feng moved forward at an extremely rapid speed. At the same time, because Ye Feng already had a deep understanding of the Southern Wilderness, he knew very well where the powerful magical beasts were, so he easily avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble.

It didn't take long for Ye Feng to arrive near the cave entrance that was shimmering with strange light.
