Chapter 23 Inside the Barrier (4)

Just as Ye Feng was preparing to target those monsters, a group of Lion Clan members had assembled and were moving towards Ye Feng's location. Judging from their route, they were going to pass through Ye Feng's hiding place.

Of course, Ye Feng saw all of these people's actions. Similar groups gathered in several other places, and some Stardust Sect disciples were surrounded and killed.

Such events were happening simultaneously in many places, far from Ye Feng's location. Although he saw the situation, Ye Feng had no way to support his fellow disciples. Of course, even if Ye Feng went, facing the assembled Lion Clan members, he might not be able to save them. Perhaps Ye Feng never even intended to save them.

Of course, some disciples of the Stardust Sect had already encountered this and formed some smaller teams to resist the Lion Clan's attack. Of course, the fighting power of these hastily formed teams of a few people was obviously no match for a whole team of the Lion Clan, but at least it slowed down the rate of casualties.

Ye Feng was secretly alarmed by the Lion Clan's rapid assembly. He knew the terrain here was very complex, and it seemed that these people must have used some special method to communicate and gather so quickly.

Now that a group of people is coming this way, we should give them a surprise. Ye Feng smiled coldly. There's no need to hide anymore. Ye Feng decided to walk out of the cave and take down the group that's coming.

After leaving the cave, Ye Feng chose the bushes along the path these people were bound to take. Facing a group of more than a dozen people, including one who was a ninth-level Spirit Light martial artist, only a fool would dare to directly confront them. At this moment, Ye Feng's assassin specialty could come into play: setting traps.

The dense grass here made the terrain perfect for a sneak attack, and Ye Feng quickly set up several traps in the grass.

After setting the trap, Ye Feng's summoned monsters noticed that the group was about to arrive. Ye Feng immediately used stealth to hide and observe the situation in the bushes.

Sure enough, a dozen or so people soon appeared in front of Ye Feng. Only then did Ye Feng carefully observe the crowd. Every one of them had murderous intent in their eyes. It seemed that they were not here to find any precious materials, but to kill our Star Dust Sect. Ye Feng made a judgment in his mind.

Although the group moved quickly, they maintained a neat formation, with no one falling behind or teammates being too far away to provide support when attacked. It seems that this group is well-trained.

Soon the group arrived at the bushes where Ye Feng had set up a trap. The leader raised his hand and suddenly stopped, and the people following behind also stopped moving forward immediately.

After the group stopped advancing, two people quickly emerged from the group and swiftly entered the bushes. It seemed that these people were also very vigilant. They knew that the bushes here were a good ambush site, and they sent out two people as vanguards to scout the situation.

Ye Feng, who was lurking nearby, couldn't help but sneer, "Go ahead and search, let's see what you can find." He was confident that the traps he had set were also designed to be concealed, and not easily discovered.

In fact, if Ye Feng activated one of the traps now, he could kill the two guys instantly. However, Ye Feng did not choose to do so. He wanted to wait until everyone was within the trap's range before making his move.

Sure enough, after checking and confirming that there was no ambush in the bushes, the two returned to the group. The leader waved his hand, and the group moved forward again.

This time, the team seemed to be moving much faster than before entering the bushes. The leader subconsciously increased the team's speed, mainly because he felt there was some danger in the bushes. He couldn't explain why, but his intuition told him it was best to get through as soon as possible. He almost subconsciously increased his speed and paid more attention to his surroundings.

However, what the leader didn't know was that they had already entered Ye Feng's trap. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared around the group, and everyone felt a numbness in their bodies, completely unable to use their strength.

"Damn it!" The leader was secretly alarmed. It seemed his worries had come true; there was indeed an ambush here!
This is an electric energy protection trap placed by Ye Feng. It's a skill he just learned after leveling up to level 15, and it's also a core skill used by assassins for sneak attacks.

The Power Guardian skill can instantly release electricity upon activation, paralyzing enemies and rendering them unable to move. This control effect increases with the skill level.

In addition to its paralyzing effect, the Electric Guardian also deals some damage, which increases with its level. However, the main purpose of this trap is still control, so the damage is not very high.

However, this was exactly the effect Ye Feng wanted. As long as he could control them for a while, that would be enough. Seeing that everyone was under control, Ye Feng immediately activated another type of trap he had placed: Flame Guardian.

Fire Guardian is clearly a trap that releases a fire effect. Unlike Electric Guardian, Fire Guardian is more aggressive and deals more damage, making it a truly lethal trap.

At this moment, everyone was under control. The power of Flame Guardian was enough to ensure that everyone was hit. Ye Feng cleverly combined the two skills, Electric Guardian and Flame Guardian.

Furthermore, since the surrounding area is covered in grass, which can be ignited, it further enhances the power of the flame protection.

Setting up traps in a short time, with the traps working together, and utilizing bushes—a place that provides concealment and increases the traps' power—fully demonstrated Ye Feng's masterful assassin skills in this ambush.

Those engulfed by the flames died a truly unjust death. Spiritual Light warriors can use their spiritual power for some form of defense; even low-level Spiritual Light warriors could withstand the flames for a time. If they had used their spiritual power, they could have easily escaped the fire. However, they had been caught in Ye Feng's electric energy protection trap beforehand, instantly paralyzed and unable to move, unable to use their spiritual power. They tragically burned alive.

Gazing at the burning grass, Ye Feng remained vigilant. Although his plan was perfect and the enemy had fallen into his trap, never underestimating the enemy was Ye Feng's consistent style of play. At this moment, Ye Feng was observing the situation in the grass with high alert.

Ye Feng's vigilance was indeed correct. A figure suddenly flashed out from the bushes and attacked Ye Feng's position.

Ye Feng, who was completely focused, naturally noticed this and reacted instantly, raising his hand and throwing a blade at the approaching person.

Seeing the blade flying towards him, the newcomer blocked it with his weapon. A clang was heard, and the blade changed its trajectory, flying behind the newcomer.

The attacker was quite surprised that the attack was blocked so easily. He had expected the attack to contain powerful spiritual energy, but it was blocked so easily.

Because of the blade, his speed of advance was naturally slowed down, and at the same time, he gave up the idea of ​​attacking Ye Feng immediately.

Ye Feng had already spotted them and retreated a few steps while attacking, creating distance between them. Both were clearly watching each other closely, making a quick sneak attack impossible.

The newcomer was the captain of the squad from earlier, a ninth-level Spirit Light cultivator. Since there was no way to kill him quickly, they naturally had to engage in a battle of attrition. Because he had also been caught in Ye Feng's electric energy protection trap, if he hadn't forcibly broken through the paralysis control with his spiritual power, he would probably have been burned to death by now. Even so, he was still too exhausted, which is why he initially planned to launch a sneak attack to end the battle quickly, otherwise he would definitely be too weak to continue.

Although the sneak attack failed, the captain was a little disappointed, but he quickly calmed himself down and chose to temporarily refrain from attacking, seizing the time to recover his depleted spiritual energy.

Ye Feng also saw the person clearly. As expected, the captain, who was at the ninth level of the Spirit Light realm, had survived. It was within Ye Feng's expectations that the other party could escape from the trap.

However, Ye Feng did not rush to attack. On the one hand, Ye Feng was afraid that there might still be survivors in his trap attack. At this time, part of his attention was still on the burning grass.

On the other hand, Ye Feng already had a plan, so of course he wasn't in a hurry to attack.

The fire in the grass had almost burned out. Under Ye Feng's fierce attack on the flames, everything that could burn was quickly consumed, and the flames were beginning to die out.

After glancing at the gradually dying flames, Ye Feng was pretty sure that all the other guys were done for. He stopped paying attention to the bushes and focused his attention on the guy in front of him.

"Kid, who the hell are you?" The other person was also staring at Ye Feng and said viciously.

"Who I am is not important, what's important is that you're about to die." Without wasting any more words with this person, Ye Feng charged forward without hesitation.

"You're asking for death!" the captain roared. He had already discovered that the person in front of him was only a fifth-level Spiritual Awakening cultivator. Without hesitation, he gathered all the remaining spiritual power he had, preparing to kill this arrogant brat in one strike. Although he had consumed too much spiritual power, he was still confident that he could eliminate a mere fifth-level Spiritual Awakening cultivator who only knew how to use sneak attacks.

As they spoke, Ye Feng had already reached his opponent. At that moment, his opponent also swung his long sword at Ye Feng, but Ye Feng ignored it and thrust his short sword at his opponent's heart.

'Is this kid crazy?' the captain thought to himself. He was actually going to fight him to the death. However, he did not choose to retreat. He could not accept that a martial artist at the fifth level of the Spirit Realm was going to retreat. Moreover, even if he were to fight to the death, he was confident that his longsword would strike Ye Feng sooner.

Just as the long sword was about to strike Ye Feng, a blade suddenly flew out from the side. It was the same blade that Ye Feng had thrown out earlier. It flew out suddenly and instantly slashed at the arm of the man holding the sword.

The captain, who had been focused on fighting to the death, had concentrated all his spiritual power on this attack and had not used much for defense. At this moment, the suddenly appearing blade cut off his arm that was holding the sword.

"Ah!" Even a ninth-level Spirit Light martial artist couldn't help but scream when his arm was severed.

However, the screams quickly stopped because Ye Feng's attack did not stop; it pierced the man's heart, instantly ending the captain's life.

At the same time, Ye Feng reached out and caught the flying blade, sheathed his sword, and completed a series of cool moves. The captain collapsed to the ground silently...
