Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Suddenly, all the characters engraved on the bamboo slips lit up with a dazzling golden light!

These ancient texts seem to come alive; each character floats up from the bamboo slips and drifts into the air!

Hundreds of thousands of words floated in the forest, like bright golden fireflies.

Xia Xiyao was stunned.

She felt as if the scene before her was a special effect from a movie; all the text was floating around her, and it was rapidly arranging itself...

Nangong Qiuyue stammered, "Wow...that's such a cool skill..."

"Snapped!"

Cang Feng's eyes were calm as he clasped his hands together and said, "Freeze!"

Columns of text formed incantations that climbed onto the bodies of those who were corrupted.

The next moment, all the polluters in the room were frozen in place!

Their movements of swinging axes and raising their arms were suddenly halted at the same time, as if they had been frozen in place, completely unable to move...

Then, Cang Feng calmly changed his hand seal: "Burning Soul!"

Then, the golden characters attached to the polluters began to burn.

The polluted beings regained their mobility, but golden flames burned their bodies, causing them excruciating pain, making them stumble, fall, and writhe on the ground in agony...

"This should only buy us some time." Cang Feng let out a heavy sigh and said, "Prepare to retreat! You go first, I'll cover your retreat, and then I'll catch up with you."

"Yes!"

Long Ying drove the off-road transport vehicle over.

Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, and Nangong Qiuyue immediately got into the car.

Just as they were about to start the car, they suddenly heard a loud "bang!" from the roof, startling Ye Ge and the others inside.

Something heavy slammed into the windshield of the transport truck!

Ye Ge looked up and saw that it was a pair of feet.

Standing in front of the windshield of the transport vehicle was a tall and muscular man, at least two meters tall, shirtless, with a muscular physique and tattoos all over his chest. He held a huge broadsword wider than his shoulder and looked at Ye Ge and the others inside the vehicle with a contemptuous sneer.

The loud bang was from his broadsword striking the roof of the transport vehicle. Although the vehicle was covered in iron armor and wouldn't have been destroyed by his single strike, a noticeable dent appeared in the metal shell!

He also stepped on the windshield of the transport vehicle, causing a small crack.

The tall man looked down at Ye Ge and the others inside the car with a cold, disdainful gaze, and said, "Now that you're on our turf, you think you can leave without paying some toll?"

Ye Ge frowned slightly, looking at the tall man standing in front of the windshield, and used the system to check his attribute information.

[Character]: Madman

Age: 45

[Level]: Thousand Soul Realm, Stage 8 (currently suppressed to Stage 9 of Hundred Soul Realm)

[Occupation]: Martial artist, mutant.

【property】:......

.......

This person is not a corrupted by the blood of darkness...

Or are they genuine extraordinary beings?

Night Song ponders.

Upon seeing the madman appear, Cang Feng immediately wanted to come and help.

However, at that moment, another strange aura came from behind him...

"Ha~!~"

A strange roar.

Cang Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around abruptly and saw two female ghosts baring their fangs and claws as they lunged at him!

"Shh-"

With lightning speed, Cang Feng drew a golden longsword and slew one of the ghosts in one strike!

At the same time, he took several quick steps backward to create distance.

"Is there another mid-level transcendent?" Ye Ge looked towards the woods on the other side.

A man with an effeminate appearance emerged from the woods. His face was deathly pale, and he was tall and thin, looking like a dead man. A long-haired female ghost was attached to his back.

Ye Ge then checked the person's attribute panel.

[Character]: Yang Yin

Age: 37

[Level]: Thousand Souls Realm, Stage 5 (currently suppressed to Stage 9 of Hundred Souls Realm)

[Occupation]: Ghost Tamer

【property】:......

Ye Ge thought to himself, 'This is a Ghost Master...'

"Hehehe... The instructor in charge of the War Academy is indeed quite skilled; he actually managed to dodge my ghost girl sneak attack."

Yang chuckled sinisterly, a laugh that sent chills down one's spine.

Cang Feng glanced at Yang Yin, the effeminate man who had ambushed him, and then at the tall, burly man standing on the off-road transport vehicle. He quickly considered countermeasures and tactics.

He calmly said, "I originally thought that these rebellious forces in the wilderness were a group of ordinary people corrupted by the blood of darkness, but I didn't expect that there would be superhumans among them."

Yang Yin said, "Oh? Surprised?"

Cang Feng narrowed his eyes: "You are all extraordinary beings, and at a high level. Even in the mainland, you should be able to have a good future. Why do you want to be robbers who rob transport vehicles in the wilderness?"

"What do you know?" The madman scoffed disdainfully, pointing his massive broadsword at Cang Feng. "Not everyone is willing to serve that damned empire and that tyrannical emperor!"

"No wonder the Wilderness Force has been able to grow so powerful in this land; it turns out they have the support of extraordinary individuals." Cang Feng said expressionlessly, "There must be other forces behind you, right? Who is your boss?"

"Heh, you're already on the verge of death, and you're still asking so many stupid questions." The madman slowly raised his broadsword, hovering it over the roof of the transport vehicle: "With one strike now, I can take the lives of all of you students."

Cang Feng frowned.

"What, worried?" Yang Yin mocked.

"...What do you want?" Cang Feng asked.

"Is that even a question?" Yang Yin said, "Of course it's all the valuables you have on you, and then..."

Yang Yin turned his head and looked at the off-road transport vehicle. Through the windshield, he looked at Ye Ge in the passenger seat and said in a sinister tone, "You still have to come with us to see our boss."

Cang Feng paused for a moment, then said, "That's impossible."

"Damn it, you idiot, you think I'm haggling with you?!" the madman cursed, easily raising his broadsword high with his thick arm. "Since you're unwilling, then I'll send your students to meet the King of Hell first!"

Cang Feng's expression changed: "Wait!"

But it was too late...

The madman swung his broadsword down heavily!

call--

"Ding!"

A crisp sound was heard!

A slender, black straight sword appeared, blocking the broadsword as thick as a chest!

The madman's eyes widened as he recognized the boy before him.

He never expected that Ye Ge would dare to get out of the car!
