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

"You scoundrel, what kind of demonic art do you possess?!"

"It can actually devour my brother's cultivation!"

He was filled with both hatred and fear; his brother's tragic death gave him the urge to charge forward and fight to the death.

But the eeriness that Li Feiyu displayed terrified him.

"Guardian De, not only your cultivation level, but also your brother's cultivation technique and even his spiritual root are now mine."

Li Feiyu smiled slightly, looking at the famous Ye family protector as if he were looking at prey.

He clenched his right hand, and a yellowish-brown light suddenly burst forth.

This made Ye Chengde tremble all over.

"Mountain-Shaking Fist!"

"Exactly!"

With a loud bang, Li Feiyu punched the black gold shield.

Ye Chengde was forced to retreat in large strides and coughed up large amounts of blood.

His brother's tragic death and Li Feiyu's eerie and terrifying nature had thrown him into a state of mental turmoil.

The prolonged battle further depleted his spiritual power.

Even with the Black Gold Shield, a top-grade magic artifact, Ye Chengde could no longer hold on.

"Dharma Protector, to be honest, I should thank your Ye family."

"Ye Mei was the first, Ye Chengyi was the second, Ye Chengli was the third, and Ye Chengxin was the fourth."

"And you'll soon be the fifth."

"If it weren't for the Ye family members who fought so relentlessly, how could I, Li Feiyu, have reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining?"

Li Feiyu smiled calmly and spoke with emotion.

He originally had no cultivation, but after absorbing Ye Mei, he directly transformed from a mortal into a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

After killing Ye Chengyi, he even reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

After capturing Ye Chengli, they will rely on the eighth level of cultivation of this Ye family protector.

Li Feiyu broke through directly to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, almost reaching the tenth level.

Now, with Ye Chengxin's death, his ninth level of cultivation has also been taken away by Li Feiyu.

This not only helped him break through the tenth floor, but also allowed him to overcome the eleventh floor barrier.

Although the difference in realms during the Qi Refining stage is not significant.

But Li Feiyu was able to reach the height of the eleventh floor in just ten days.

Besides the incredible power of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, he also had to thank the Ye family members for their contributions.

If it weren't for them, how could Li Feiyu have achieved his current level of cultivation?

"You—! You—!"

Ye Chengde was so angry that his nose twisted.

But faced with Li Feiyu's eeriness and terror, he felt his scalp tingle and his hands and feet turn ice cold.

I felt utterly hopeless.

This thief's techniques are so terrifying that they can steal a person's cultivation and even their cultivation method.

Now, all three of his younger brothers have died tragically at the hands of Li Feiyu.

His own spiritual power was almost gone, so how could he possibly escape alive!

For a time, Ye Chengde was exhausted and almost lost his will to fight.

Only the hatred for his brother's tragic death could sustain him to continue fighting.

But how long can all this last in the face of such a terrifying Li Feiyu?

"Guardian De, rest assured, since you brothers are so deeply attached to each other..."

"Then I will immediately send you to reunite with your three younger brothers."

"And after your death, not only will your cultivation be taken by me."

"I will also send your elder brother Ye Chengren and even the entire Ye family down to accompany you."

"After all, what can you do when you brothers share such a deep bond?"

Li Feiyu smiled strangely, staring at Ye Chengde as he strolled around with an air of nonchalance.

This made Ye Chengde even more horrified.

But at that moment, there was another whoosh.

Han Li, who had vanished without a trace, miraculously returned.

This scene left Li Feiyu completely puzzled.

But before he could speak, Han Li exclaimed in shock:

"Brother Li, quickly use your demonic powers to dispel the Golden Light Curse for me!"

"I have a feeling Ye Chengren is coming!"

These words shocked everyone present.

Li Feiyu flashed away, but not to rush to Han Li to help him break the curse.

Instead, he struck swiftly, aiming straight for Ye Chengde's throat in the blink of an eye.

Ye Chengde had said long ago that he had a way to contact Ye Chengren.

The two have been fighting for a long time now. Although Li Feiyu killed Ye Chengxin, he has not been able to defeat Ye Chengde, who has the Black Gold Shield.

If Ye Chengren were to arrive, Li Feiyu would likely have to retreat immediately.

Although he was able to protect himself and retreat in front of Ye Chengren by using the Devouring Void Step.

But Han Li didn't get away so easily.

If Paopao falls into Ye Chengren's hands, it goes without saying that he will be skinned alive and dismembered.

The Heavenly Bottle on his person might also be exposed.

Li Feiyu was unwilling to let his cheap brother die like this.

Therefore, seizing the opportunity to take down Ye Chengde is the only way.

If he could eliminate Ye Chengde before Ye Chengren arrived.

Even Li Feiyu, the head of the Ye family's protectors, was not afraid at all.

Instead, they can rely on the cultivation and techniques of the four Ye brothers.

They'll take care of their leader tonight.

Thinking of this, Li Feiyu acted swiftly and decisively, striking Ye Chengde's head with lightning speed.

However, at this critical moment

The dark gold color suddenly burst forth.

Ye Chengde shone brightly, but it was not the icy color of his martial arts technique.

It was blood-red, a deep, rich blood-red!

A loud bang.

The palms and shields clashed again, and Ye Chengde's momentum suddenly surged.

With his spiritual power nearly exhausted, he once again repelled Li Feiyu with the help of the Black Gold Shield.

"Burning essence and blood?"

"Ye Chengde, you certainly have some clever methods."

Li Feiyu frowned slightly, and the powerful spiritual energy within her body surged wildly as she attacked Ye Chengde once more.

"You scoundrel, what's burning your life essence compared to this!"

"Even if it costs me my life, I will keep you here tonight!"

Ye Chengde shouted wildly, and the black gold shield in his hand shone even brighter.

At this moment, upon learning that his elder brother Ye Chengren was about to arrive...

The Ye family's guardian spirit was rekindled, and he disregarded everything else, even using his own blood essence as a catalyst.

He forcibly activated the top-grade magic weapon and continued his fierce battle with Li Feiyu.

In an instant, the two exchanged blows, their fists and shields clashing, and fought for another twenty rounds.

Although Li Feiyu's cultivation level increased greatly after absorbing Ye Chengxin, his techniques became increasingly fierce.

But Ye Chengde exerted all his strength, burning his life essence.

This greatly increased the power of the Black Gold Shield, a top-grade magic weapon, allowing it to repeatedly block Li Feiyu's killing moves.

Although high-grade magical artifacts are incredibly powerful,

However, to unleash its true power, it requires a corresponding level of cultivation.

The reason why Ye Chengde was previously suppressed by Li Feiyu was...

Besides his strange abilities and powerful demonic powers,

Ye Chengde's cultivation level was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, which prevented him from unleashing the true power of this superior-grade magic weapon, was also an important reason.

But now, this Ye family protector is burning his life essence, which not only makes him incredibly powerful in a short period of time.

This also unleashed the full power of the Black Gold Shield.

This left Li Feiyu with no way to deal with him for a while, despite his relentless and deadly attacks!

"Brother Li, please break the curse!"

"Ye Chengren is coming soon!"

Feeling the fluctuations of the Golden Light Mantra within his body, Han Li grew increasingly fearful.

At this very moment, Ye Chengren will arrive.

Li Feiyu had no way to deal with Ye Chengde.

Once the powerful head of the Ye family arrives, Han Li will have no way out!

"Hahahahaha!"

"You scoundrel, my brother will be here soon! When he arrives, you! And you! You will all die!"

Ye Chengde's body shone with intense blood-red light, and he became increasingly frenzied.

Even if he burns his life essence, what difference will it make?

As long as Li Feiyu is held back.

Everything will be alright once his older brother arrives!
