Under the influence of Beastification, Xiao Yefeng's power was astonishing. The Flying Needle almost had the force to tear through the air and create a sonic boom. Lu Zhan was no weakling either; with a sweep of the Desire Slave Ruler, another Flying Needle was driven into the Ruler, and the two Flying Needles sliced through two Talismans. The Ruler had completely lost its Inspiration.
At that moment, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the distant buildings, instantly blinding Xiao Yefeng with a flash of white. He felt a primal roar echoing from afar.
"Roar!"
After the roar, a massive tiger engulfed in ghostly green flames lunged at Xiao Yefeng. Its eyes burned with a pale yellow flame as it supported itself on its sword-like claws. Xiao Yefeng rolled over and met the tiger's paws with his feet. The Symbol Bone on his feet lit up instantly, and with a powerful push, he repelled the beast's attack. Using the momentum from his roll, he drew out the Black Sword and landed firmly on the ground behind him.
"A Ghost Tiger? How is it possible for such a spirit to exist in the human realm? Doesn't Yin Si care?" Xiao Yefeng exclaimed in surprise.
"Hmph! You still have much to learn. It seems Xiao Wen hasn't told you everything!" An ancient voice drifted from afar, seemingly emanating from the Ghost Tiger itself, giving Xiao Yefeng an odd sensation.
Hearing his father mentioned, Xiao Yefeng frowned and said, "Whoever you are, those from Perfect World have no right to speak my father's name. Just a bunch of despicable people!"
At that moment, the Ghost Tiger seemed enraged; it stomped its front paw and let out a furious roar directed at Xiao Yefeng. The sound waves sent Xiao Yefeng's clothes flapping wildly. In response, he swiftly pulled out the Bagua Mirror from his backpack, pointed his fingertip to unleash Qi, and an octagonal Azure Light directly imprinted on the Ghost Tiger's forehead. In that instant, the Ghost Tiger was sent flying as if struck by a heavy hammer.
"Clap clap clap!" A series of applause echoed from afar as the ancient voice spoke again: "Not bad! Your decisiveness in killing is far superior to your father's. If he hadn't been so merciful back then, things would have been different! Now, do me a favor and spare him! I don't care who else you kill; just don't touch this one; his identity is not as simple as you think!"
Meanwhile, Lu Zhan had stopped fleeing. He initially thought that with the arrival of the Ghost Tiger's master, he could turn the tables on Xiao Yefeng. However, he did not expect their conversation to unfold like this; it appeared that even the Ghost Tiger's master held some fear regarding Xiao Yefeng's identity and had to use threats to protect Lu Zhan.
"Beast Elder, you..." Lu Zhan stood frozen in place. At this moment, he was only about twenty meters away from Xiao Yefeng, separated by the recently repelled Ghost Tiger. But Xiao Yefeng had his sword lowered and his body poised like a bow, clearly ready to strike at any moment.
Suddenly, the mysterious figure known as Beast Elder shouted angrily: "Why aren't you leaving? Do you think he's afraid of me for not pursuing you?"
As soon as those words left his mouth, a ghostly light appeared above Xiao Yefeng's head; Zhao Yin Gate slowly materialized. The Ghost Tiger dared not look directly at Xiao Yefeng anymore; however, Beast Elder ordered it to guard Lu Zhan's escape route. With Lu Zhan still present, the Ghost Tiger could not retreat. Realizing Beast Elder's warning tone, Lu Zhan had no choice but to turn and flee. Just then, Zhao Yin Gate opened, and ghostly blue light chased after the Ghost Tiger.
Seizing this opportunity while the Ghost Tiger dodged away, Xiao Yefeng bent like a drawn bow and shot towards Lu Zhan with his sword as if it were an arrow. At that moment, Lu Zhan realized that Xiao Yefeng was not afraid of Beast Elder’s threat at all. Feeling the sword tip about to pierce his back, Lu Zhan immediately prepared to activate his upper-level technique to defend himself when suddenly a foot flew in from nowhere and kicked him squarely in the rear.
Using this unexpected force, Lu Zhan dove into an approaching car. The vehicle swerved elegantly before speeding away from the scene. In peak condition, Xiao Yefeng could indeed chase down cars over short distances; however, he had no chance now because an elderly man with white hair and holding a Bronze Ancient Seal stood in his path.
Xiao Yefeng sized up this old man. He truly belonged to that rare breed of individuals who looked youthful despite having white hair; although his beard was white, there were few wrinkles on his face. He wore an ornate golden carp robe—Xiao Yefeng recognized this attire well; when he was five years old and before his parents passed away, he had once discovered a similar garment in his father's wardrobe. For that brief glimpse into his father's belongings, he had received quite a scolding.
Xiao Yefeng remembered that the long robe his father wore was of the same style as the one worn by the old man before him. However, the pattern on his father's robe featured a design of a flute intertwined with a bronze cauldron. Seeing a similar garment now stirred a mix of emotions within Xiao Yefeng; he felt a twinge of excitement, but it was overshadowed by anger. The old man's appearance and methods made Xiao Yefeng realize that this robe was likely the uniform of members within Perfect World.
"Are you one of Perfect World? Half-step to the Immortal Realm is indeed powerful!" Xiao Yefeng said, sizing up the old man.
"We are certainly powerful, but unfortunately, we can only hide beneath those ordinary people!" The old man's voice was filled with a desolate tone, revealing his frustration at being suppressed by commoners.
"What do you want? To rebuild the era of cultivation? Don't be foolish. Qi is dissipating now. Even I, as someone from the True Spirit Realm, know that in just a few years, Earth's Qi will completely vanish. At that time, we will all be replaced by the Technological Era," Xiao Yefeng remarked, observing the old man's face turning red with anger.
The old man pointed an accusing finger at Xiao Yefeng and said angrily, "As a member of Extraordinary Persons, how can you speak such despairing words? Are you willing to be ruled by ordinary people? You traitors have forgotten the glory of Extraordinary Persons."
Xiao Yefeng sighed helplessly and replied, "No matter what, sacrificing others' lives for your own cultivation is simply wrong!"
Finally, the old man seemed to calm down and pointed at Xiao Yefeng. "Let me ask you this: when you are hungry and pick fruit from a tree, do you feel sorry for the tree? Do you feel guilty towards the hen that laid the eggs? Humanity stands above all creatures and naturally has the right to manage these matters. Similarly, powerful humans have the right to deal with everything concerning the weak; life is no exception!"
The old man's words were resolute, leaving Xiao Yefeng unable to refute them. While he acknowledged the truth in what was said, he could not agree with it. To casually extinguish others' lives for personal gain was something even a cold-blooded mercenary like him could not accept.
"I must admit you have a point, but as long as I, Xiao Yefeng, am alive, I will not allow you to harm others!" Xiao Yefeng declared.
The old man chuckled lightly and said, "Actually, there’s no need for all this reasoning. Your reason for dealing with us is quite simple: we killed your parents. You seek revenge for them; it’s that straightforward!"
"That's true! But I have my principles. I must avenge my parents; however, one thing does not negate another. You raise Yin Si's beasts—aren't you afraid Yin Si will come after you?" Xiao Yefeng countered.
"You still don’t understand. The Extraordinary Persons are heading towards extinction; our realm has already sunk into depravity. Yin Si has lost control over humanity!" the old man explained.
"How can that be possible?"
"How can it not be possible?"
Their conversation lingered in silence until Xiao Yefeng noticed that the distance between him and the old man seemed to be increasing. It dawned on him that the old man was stalling for time. Suddenly pulling out a yellow Flying Needle from his side pocket, he hurled it at the old man. In response, the old man flipped his Bronze Seal, and a green light directly pinned down the Flying Needle entangled with a Yellow Talisman onto the ground.
"Listen well! I am Beast Elder of Perfect World. Today I've explained so much to you; letting you go is already repaying your father's kindness from back then. We shall meet again in the future! Don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
As Xiao Yefeng shot out two more Yellow Talismans and Flying Needles, the two needles landed on the talismans before falling limply to the ground. With that, the Beast Elder vanished, and Lu Zhan fled, leaving only Xiao Yefeng and three obstructed Flying Needles behind.
Xiao Yefeng discovered that the last two needles had been trapped by a Substitution Talisman, which was identical to his own. It was evident that Xiao Wen's Substitution Talisman was a skill learned from the Perfect World.
"Ding ding ding."
Xiao Yefeng's phone rang. Upon answering, he heard a voice on the other end say, "Feng, Lu Zhan is a fake. The Qi Symbol and human skin mask were left behind at the hotel. What's your situation?"
"Oh! President, I've rescued the person, but Lu Zhan escaped! He was taken away by someone claiming to be the Beast Elder!" Xiao Yefeng replied.
"That's good. I'll send someone to the Mei Family to pick you up tomorrow!" After their brief exchange, Xiao Yefeng returned to the basement, where chaos reigned. Liu Yiyi and Mei Mo'er, two young maidens in disheveled clothing, were crying in a corner.
As Xiao Yefeng's footsteps approached, the Two Goddesses immediately assumed defensive stances. Xiao Yefeng's vision was exceptional; he noticed Mei Mo'er's internal energy swirling around her limbs in a faint glow. What surprised him even more was Liu Yiyi—she was holding a ball of azure Qi in her right hand, emanating an icy chill that made even Xiao Yefeng feel its coldness from a distance.
"Who?" Mei Mo'er asked, looking at the shadowy figure in the darkness.
"It's me!" Xiao Yefeng rasped. As his voice echoed out, he stepped into view of the Two Goddesses, carrying a backpack and holding the Black Sword upside down while wearing tattered clothes. Upon seeing him, the Two Goddesses lowered their guard.
Compared to the two girls in slightly damaged dresses, Xiao Yefeng looked as though he had been robbed of his clothes. His garments barely covered him; his shirt was only held together by the straps of his backpack, while his pants were barely held up by a belt—otherwise, they would have fallen apart completely. This was all due to the recent effects of Beastification, which had caused his muscles to expand dramatically and tear through his clothing.
