215: Chapter 215 Don't Hurt My Brother's Father! The Genius Squad Fights for Their Lives in a Desperate Situation!

Taking advantage of the clouds of dust kicked up by that violent bombardment, the eyes of Tiger Fiend on the other side of the battlefield suddenly turned cold.

The mountain demon was smashing away like a madman; that strange brat must be dead.

He needed to end his own battle quickly and take down Spider King!

He still maintained his one-third beast form, his legs erupting with a burst of silver light as he transformed into a silver ghost, instantly killing his way to the front of Ye Canglan.

Ye Canglan responded in a rush, his already heavily injured body rupturing once more, spilling a large amount of dark blue Source Energy blood.

Facing a Peak sixth-rank assassin who was at full strength and in a beast-transformed state, Ye Canglan, who had just Awakened and lost the assistance of his Magic Spiders, was completely suppressed, his massive body retreating steadily under Tiger Fiend's extremely fierce offensive.

Before long, three of the eight dark blue spider legs on Spider King's back had been snapped off, more than half of the protective shell on his chest was shattered, and dark blue Source Energy blood was continuously seeping from wounds large and small.

Pfft! Tiger Fiend's silver-white tiger claw precisely slashed across Spider King's side, adding another wound deep enough to see bone.

Pfft! The second claw followed closely behind, tearing open the already cracked area on the back armor, the claw tip sinking two inches into the muscle.

Pfft! The third claw...

Ye Canglan's massive body suddenly stumbled, and he knelt on one knee on the gravel ground.

Tiger Fiend landed on a broken rock three meters away, licked the fangs outside his lips, and his ice-blue slit pupils were filled with the cruel pleasure of a cat playing with a mouse.

"Why are you still holding on? Your spider lackeys are all dead, and the Seal network you've maintained for five years is gone too."

He paced forward a step, the silver-white tiger stripes shimmering with cold light in the shadows.

"Hand over the King Gene obediently, and I'll give you a quick death."

"Boom!" A loud explosion came from the direction of the passageway entrance.

The massive vibration made Tiger Fiend pause his words, and he instinctively turned his head.

Three figures, braving the clouds of flying dust, charged out from the dark rock wall passageway.

The youth leading them, shrouded in dense dark shadow Source Energy, held a pitch-black dagger in his hand, his eyes blood-red, his speed so fast that even Tiger Fiend couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Behind him followed a sixth-rank Earth-element Awakened with golden sand surging all over his body, and a youth crackling with lightning.

Tiger Fiend frowned slightly: "Oh ho, where did these three rats come from...?"

He didn't get to finish his sentence.

The leading youth had already ignored his existence, passing directly by his flank and landing in front of the half-kneeling Ye Canglan.

Night Crow's gaze was locked dead onto that "monster" covered in wounds.

Eight dark blue spider legs, half a chitinous mask, and dark blue Source Energy blood all over!

Any normal human seeing this appearance would have their first reaction be fear and retreat.

But Night Crow did not retreat a single step.

His whole body was trembling; the string that had been taut in his chest for five years snapped completely at this moment.

That familiar face. That palpitation of Bloodline connection. And deep within those dark purple slit pupils, that flash of panic belonging to a human father.

"Dad...!" A call, hoarse to the extreme yet filled with endless longing and pain, spilled from Night Crow's trembling lips.

"Let's go home together!"

This call struck hard into the depths of Ye Canglan's Soul.

Those dark purple slit pupils, originally filled with bestial nature and killing intent, were instantly replaced by the panic and fear only humans possess.

Xiao Mo?! How could he be here?!

He had trapped himself in Hell to protect his son and Dingxi City, enduring five years of inhuman torture.

Yet the person he wanted to protect most had appeared at this moment in the deepest part of the Source Abyss, a place with no hope of survival!

Ye Canglan froze in place, all eight spider legs trembling violently and uncontrollably.

He instinctively reached out that hand covered in Source Energy blood and blue armor, but the moment it was about to touch his son's cheek, it stopped abruptly in mid-air.

He didn't dare to touch him. He was afraid that his monster-like appearance would scare him. He was even more afraid that the remaining bestial nature in his body would hurt him.

Night Crow saw that hovering hand. He didn't hesitate, stepped forward, and took the initiative to press his cheek against it.

The cold sensation of the exoskeleton, the rough chitinous texture. But the temperature coming from that palm was clearly the temperature of a living person.

"Dad, look." Night Crow spoke in a low voice, his tone calm, but the bloodshot eyes and tears betrayed him.

"I've grown up, I can fight."

"So..." He flipped his wrist, gripped the [Dawn] dagger tightly, and slowly turned to face Tiger Fiend.

"No one can hurt you again."

"Heh." Tiger Fiend sneered, interrupting this bitter drama that he found extremely ridiculous.

"Truly touching. Then die together."

The silver-white tiger claw lit up again, carrying the aura of death, and lunged straight at Night Crow!

"Don't you dare hurt my brother's dad!" Young Master Gu Lingfeng roared, and his SS-Rank Talent [Mysterious Gold Quicksand], which had long been ready, erupted at full power.

The golden sand filling the sky stacked and compacted crazily, instantly condensing into a three-meter-thick wall of Mysterious Gold Sand in front of Night Crow. [Sand Dust Absolute Wall]!

At the same time, Ye Xiao also turned into a bolt of lightning and killed his way over.

"Get lost for me!" Lightning surged across his whole body, driving the sixth-rank Thunder Beast crystal core Origin to its limit, condensing a Thunder Bird in his right palm, and with a trace of determination, he smashed it fiercely towards Tiger Fiend's claw. [Nine Heavens · Chidori]!

"Seeking death." A trace of brutality and disdain flashed in Tiger Fiend's eyes.

He didn't even retract the tiger claw he had swung out; he just suddenly puffed out his chest, and that half-human, half-tiger face opened its bloody maw towards the charging Ye Xiao. Roar...! [Tiger Roar Sonic Wave]!

A visible silver sound wave was like a heavy cannon firing, even causing the air along its path to vibrate with a circle of distorted ripples.

"Bang!" Ye Xiao, who bore the brunt, couldn't even get within ten meters of Tiger Fiend before the Thunder Bird in his palm was shattered on the spot by the sound wave, and the defensive Source Energy on his chest instantly broke.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward, slammed heavily into the rock wall behind, and slid to the ground.

"Ye Xiao!!" Young Master Gu Lingfeng's eyes were splitting with rage. But he didn't even have time to turn his head to look.

Tiger Fiend's sharp claws had already slapped onto his sand wall. "Boom!" With a loud noise, the Mysterious Gold Sand wall was torn by a claw, creating huge spiderweb-like cracks.

"Crack!" The second claw fell, and the sand wall collapsed with a roar!

Young Master Gu Lingfeng spat out a mouthful of blood and also flew backward, barely using the Mysterious Gold Sand to protect his heart so he wouldn't pass out on the spot.

Only two blows. Two geniuses on the heavenly pride ranking couldn't even last three seconds in front of a Peak sixth-rank Beast Seal Envoy.

"Now, no one is disturbing us." Tiger Fiend licked the blade-teeth at the corner of his mouth, looking at Night Crow who was blocking in front of his father, his expression like he was looking at prey that had delivered itself to his door. "Shall I send you both to Yellow Springs?"

Night Crow said nothing. He stood dead in front of his father, the [Dawn] dagger held in a reverse grip, his eyes filled with determination to die.

He knew he couldn't stop him. But he wouldn't retreat a single step.

He had been searching for five years. From thirteen to eighteen, from a boy to a young man. For five years, he had pretended to believe the communications sent by that fake "father," pretended not to know the truth, pretended everything was fine. Just to become stronger. Just to one day be able to walk here.

Now he was standing here. Standing in front of his father. Even if the enemy in front of him was ridiculously strong. Even if he was trembling with every breath right now. He would not step aside even half a step.

"Pfft." Tiger Fiend raised his right hand covered in silver-white tiger stripes, the five sharp claws shimmering with cold light.

"Xiao... Mo...!" A voice, hoarse to the point of being almost unrecognizable, sounded from behind Night Crow.

Night Crow's body stiffened. Ye Canglan was half-kneeling on the ground, his heavily injured body still continuously seeping dark blue Source Energy blood. Three of his eight dark blue spider legs were already shattered, and the remaining five were also trembling slightly.

But in those dark purple slit pupils, there was no bestial nature, no killing intent. There was only a kind of pure, near-collapsing fear. It was not fear of death. It was the fear that "my son will die in front of me."

"Go..." Ye Canglan's voice squeezed out from the depths of his throat, every word like he was fighting with another version of himself. "I beg you... go..."

Night Crow did not turn back. "I'm not leaving!"

"Are you done acting?" Tiger Fiend's patience had reached its end. His sharp claws reached forward, and silver-white Source Energy condensed at the claw tips. "Tiger Fang..."

Rumble...! Before Tiger Fiend could finish shouting his Move, a bolt of azure lightning suddenly struck down from the sky! [Nine Heavens · Thunder Pillar]!

The thick lightning bolt accurately smashed onto Tiger Fiend's back, the silver-white beast fur instantly exploding into a patch of charred black, and the violent lightning-attribute high-voltage electric field caused his extremely fast movements to suffer a fatal half-second stiffness!

It was this fleeting gap. A cold light flashed in Night Crow's eyes, he grabbed Ye Canglan's wrist, erupted with full Shadow power, dragged him and dashed several yards backward, instantly escaping Tiger Fiend's attack range.

"Roar!! I'll kill you!!" Just as the numbness faded by half, Tiger Fiend let out a furious roar that shook debris from the rock walls.

He turned his head abruptly, his scarlet gaze locked dead onto Ye Xiao, who was still maintaining his casting posture not far away.

Ye Xiao was covered in blood, his whole body trembling, yet he was still stubbornly standing there, lightning flickering uncertainly on his arms.

Kicking off the ground with all four limbs, Tiger Fiend's figure turned into a silver lightning bolt and pounced straight over!

Ye Xiao was scared out of his wits! Seeing the seventh-rank Tiger King charging at him now, he felt like crying!

"Damn it, Brother Ming didn't say we had to fight a seventh-rank monster when we left!"

"Someone save me!"
