Mortal: Fellow Daoist! May I borrow your essence for a moment?

"Fellow Daoist, to be honest..."

Ye Chengde, unwilling to give up, cupped his hands and said, "We five brothers are of one mind, and my eldest brother and I have a means of communication."

"Having seen your extraordinary strength, I have already notified my elder brother to come here."

"I'm afraid that at this very moment, my elder brother Ye Chengren is already on his way to provide assistance."

"If you insist on being enemies with the Ye family, my brother and I, though no match for them, will fight to the death."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything about it for the time being."

"If we wait until my elder brother arrives, you will be in grave danger."

"If that's the case, why insist on forcing me, fellow Daoist?"

"It would be better to give them a break and leave."

"My Ye family will absolutely not make things difficult for our friends afterward."

A small, black gold shield appeared in Ye Chengde's hand, protecting the two brothers.

When the small shield appeared, Li Feiyu's pupils shrank.

"Black Gold Shield!"

"Haha, fellow Daoist has a good eye. This is indeed my elder brother's superior magic weapon, the Black Gold Shield."

"This shield is incredibly powerful; if it were to be unleashed..."

"Even with your abilities, fellow Daoist, it would be difficult to break through."

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you leave now?"

Ye Chengde forced a smile while holding the black gold shield, watching Li Feiyu warily.

Magical implements are divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior. In addition, there are the most precious top-grade magical implements.

It is already extremely difficult for ordinary Qi Refining cultivators to obtain a low-grade magic weapon.

After all, even a decent low-grade magic weapon costs thirty spirit stones.

This is a price that cultivators, especially rogue cultivators, can hardly bear.

Among the five Ye brothers, the fourth brother Ye Chengli and the fifth brother Ye Chengyi did not even have any magical artifacts.

Although Ye Chengde and Ye Chengxin both possessed magical artifacts, they were only of inferior quality.

But their elder brother, Ye Chengren, was different.

Ye Chengren is not only highly capable and valued by his family, but he has also made numerous contributions to the Ye family.

Thanks to his outstanding achievements, he had long ago obtained a magic weapon, and it was a high-grade magic weapon worth more than a hundred spirit stones.

This magical artifact is the black gold shield in Ye Chengde's hand.

Although this shield has almost no killing power, it can be used as a whole when deployed.

Its extremely strong defensive capabilities are enough to allow the user to protect themselves.

This is also the source of Ye Chengde's confidence in negotiating with Li Feiyu.

With the Black Gold Shield in place, even if the opponent is highly skilled, it will be difficult to break through Ye Chengde's defense.

"Second brother, since eldest brother has entrusted his black gold shield to you..."

"Why waste words with this scoundrel!"

Ye Chengxin gripped his arm and spoke angrily.

"Shut up!"

But Ye Chengde rebuked him sternly.

Although the Black Gold Shield has strong defensive capabilities, Li Feiyu's methods are ultimately unpredictable.

Although Ye Chengde was confident that he could protect himself with this high-grade magic weapon if a real fight broke out,

But Ye Chengxin was already seriously injured.

How could Ye Chengde possibly keep up with him all the time?

If something were to happen, this younger brother would perish here.

Even if Ye Chengde could protect himself, what face would he have to see his elder brother Ye Chengren?

Therefore, he used the Black Gold Shield as a bargaining chip, Ye Chengren's arrival as a backup, and then brought out the entire Ye family to exert pressure.

Forcing Li Feiyu to retreat was the best solution Ye Chengde could think of.

He had to protect his younger brother Ye Chengxin no matter what.

However, in his hopeful gaze,

Li Feiyu said dismissively, "Guardian De, are you finished?"

"Now that you've said your piece, prepare to die."

"Fellow Daoist, is that really the case?" Ye Chengde gritted his teeth.

Li Feiyu's lack of response, coupled with the surge of demonic energy emanating from his body, spoke volumes.

Ye Chengde's gaze was extremely sinister.

"Since you insist on this, then..."

"Just go die!"

He roared, and the black gold shield in his hand burst forth with dazzling light.

Ye Chengde charged forward, wielding a dagger in one hand and a shield in the other, fueled by boundless rage.

"Heaven-Devouring Palm!"

Li Feiyu gave a soft shout and slammed his palm onto the black gold shield.

The once unstoppable Devouring Palm technique has now lost its effectiveness.

He couldn't break through this top-grade magic weapon with a single palm strike.

Instead, his body trembled violently, and he almost flew backward.

"go!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Chengde's pupils contracted, and he was secretly delighted.

The gleaming dagger in his hand shot out, aimed directly at Li Feiyu's throat.

However, in a flash of cold light...

Li Feiyu had nowhere to dodge in mid-air, but a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

There was a clang.

He gripped the magical artifact firmly with his large hand.

This greatly shocked Han Li.

But Ye Chengde's eyes widened, and joy welled up on his face.

Because Li Feiyu had captured his magical artifact.

But bright red blood flowed down from the gleaming dagger.

Although Li Feiyu often tempered his body with the blood of ferocious beasts, his physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators.

However, his physical strength was ultimately inferior to that of a magical artifact like the Cold Light Dagger.

This caused the dagger to cut the skin.

The cold air that Ye Chengde had been hoping for began to enter his body.

"You scoundrel, you'll pay for my two brothers' lives!"

He flew into a rage, whether genuine, feigned, or both.

They charged fiercely at Li Feiyu.

The two fought fiercely for more than ten rounds.

Although Li Feiyu was able to handle the situation with ease thanks to his Devouring Heaven Palm and Devouring Void Step.

But as Ye Chengde said before.

He wielded a black gold shield, his defense impenetrable, and even in a fierce battle, Li Feiyu couldn't do anything to him.

"They're quite resilient."

A chilling, deathly cold aura swept through his body.

The chill emanating from Li Feiyu's chest spread from his abdominal muscles all the way to his heart.

This is the result that Ye Chengde would like to see most.

Once the chilling aura from the Cold Light Dagger penetrates the heart.

I'm afraid even if a celestial being were to come, Li Feiyu would be beyond saving!

Even so, Li Feiyu acted as if she hadn't noticed anything.

He continued his aggressive and unrestrained style of fighting against Ye Chengde.

This made his joy even more uncontrollable.

Boom boom boom!

In front of the thatched hut, the two fought fiercely, and the battle became increasingly intense.

A duel between two experts at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

One possesses demonic powers, while the other wields a high-grade magical artifact.

Li Feiyu and Ye Chengde fought fiercely for dozens of rounds, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

The intense battle left Han Li, who was hiding to the side, utterly shocked.

Ye Chengxin, however, smiled as he held his broken arm.

Because it wasn't just his brother who saw the chilling aura spreading through Li Feiyu's body during the fierce battle.

Ye Chengde also understood everything.

His elder brother's chilling aura had already seeped into his body, and Li Feiyu's defeat was not far off.

"Heaven-Devouring Palm!"

Li Feiyu let out a soft shout, and the spiritual power within his body collided with all its might, striking the black gold shield with a powerful palm strike.

Ye Chengde's mouth was bleeding, and he almost couldn't hold on, retreating more than ten steps.

But after being repelled by Li Feiyu, he was not afraid but rather pleased.

His chilling aura had already invaded Li Feiyu's internal organs and was about to reach his heart.

"So close, so very close!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood and stared intently at Li Feiyu's chest.

The black gold shield in his hand shone brightly once more as it slammed into his opponent.

With a deafening roar, a fierce wind raged in front of the thatched hut, and the aftershocks of the battle swept over everything around it.

With this attack, Li Feiyu suffered another defeat and the opponent gained the upper hand.

It can accompany the intense circulation of spiritual energy within the body.

Under Ye Chengde's ecstatic gaze, the chill finally reached Li Feiyu's heart.
