366: Dai Yi died after driving away the tiger and swallowing the wolf

Mu Feng's Clone can swap positions between his illusionary body and his Clone.

Therefore, he didn't need to worry too much before all his Clones were destroyed.

So, he also took a moment to glance at the situation of the others.

Han Yuyan was the weakest among the three.

However, because she had a defensive ancient treasure on her person, coupled with her unassuming strength, the Ancient Demon's attacks on her were merely incidental.

As a result, she was actually the most comfortable of the three.

Compared to Han Yuyan, Dai Yi was much worse off.

The Ancient Demon, knowing his strength, focused most of its attacks on him among the three.

Four Demon Treasures, plus its fists, continuously bombarded him.

This left Dai Yi, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator, in utter misery.

Earlier, when confronting Mu Feng, one of his defensive Magic Treasures had already been destroyed.

Now, facing the Ancient Demon's close-quarters attacks, he could only conjure the Jade Ruyi he had used before to defend himself.

That Jade Ruyi was a rare treasure he had acquired not long ago.

It was capable of both offense and defense.

It could not only release two-headed evil wolves to attack others but also transform into a round shield to fend off assaults.

However, its defense was slightly inferior to its offense.

Under the Ancient Demon's assault with four Demon Treasures, he was beaten back repeatedly.

The power of the Jade Ruyi in his hand was also continuously being consumed.

He knew that if he didn't find a way to break through the Ancient Demon's offense, his Jade Ruyi would be completely shattered in no time.

But at the moment, this Ancient Demon regarded him as its strongest enemy.

Originally, he had planned to either run away directly or wait for the Ancient Demon to instantly kill Mu Feng and the other person to seize their Magic Treasures, once Mu Feng and the other person became entangled with this Demon Tiger.

However, he didn't expect that his plan hadn't even begun to be implemented when he himself was inexplicably trapped.

Upon seeing Mu Feng and the other person constantly slacking off in the face of the Ancient Demon's attacks, leaving him, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, to bear the pressure alone, he couldn't help but feel both anxious and enraged.

He shouted loudly:

"Seniors, this old man has already entangled this Ancient Demon; quickly use your powerful Moves and help me kill it."

His words were utterly shameless.

He was clearly trapped and entangled by the Ancient Demon's attacks, yet he insisted on saying that he had entangled the opponent.

However, Mu Feng still needed his strength to deal with this Ancient Demon, so he naturally didn't want to fall out with him so quickly.

After giving Han Yuyan a meaningful glance, she immediately understood.

While controlling her ancient treasure, the Blue Light Shield, for defense, she also manipulated her slender jade hands, and after a few continuous taps, the ice chain she had used earlier was released again.

On Mu Feng's side, he also flicked his sleeve, and a sky full of Azure Origin Sword Light surged towards the Ancient Demon.

Both of them knew that Dai Yi harbored ill intentions.

Naturally, they wouldn't attack with full force, only using some superficial Moves.

Especially Mu Feng.

He was even more obviously slacking off; with the current depth of his Magic Power and True Qi, he could produce as much Azure Origin Sword Light as he wished.

Dai Yi didn't know much about the two of them, and seeing that they had already made their Moves, he couldn't say anything more.

Moreover, Han Yuyan's ice chain had a good effect, directly slowing down the Ancient Demon's elusive speed significantly.

This allowed him, who had been constantly on the defensive, to catch his breath a little.

He even managed to find time to counterattack.

As for Mu Feng's offensive, it looked extremely imposing, but it was all thunder and no rain.

It didn't even leave any marks on the Ancient Demon's scales; rather than saying he was attacking the opponent, it was more like he was tickling it.

His low-key actions also made the Ancient Demon relax its guard against him considerably.

Coupled with Dai Yi starting to use a new Magic Treasure, the Ancient Demon's attention was completely drawn to him.

"Go!"

As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Dai Yi had quite a few Magic Treasures.

He reached out and pulled out a small black flag from his sleeve.

As he gently twirled it, the black flag instantly grew to seven feet in size.

And from within it came various sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

This flag's effect was actually similar to the black flag used by the Ghost King Mu Feng encountered earlier in the Yin Spirit Land.

However, the black flag in Dai Yi's hand seemed to be much more powerful than the one he had seen.

Speaking of which, he still kept that Ghost Dao Magic Treasure.

Now, seeing Dai Yi, this Nascent Soul Old Monster, use a weapon similar to the Ghost Dao Magic Treasure in his hand again, he was greatly surprised.

Dai Yi did not notice the change in Mu Feng's expression; at this moment, he was fully swinging the Yellow Springs Flag above his head.

He had obtained this treasure not long ago from a diamond treasure chest.

It was a powerful and rare treasure.

Once activated, it could release a large amount of ghost mist to corrode enemies.

Speaking of which, this attack method was actually similar to the Devilish Qi bombs released by the Ancient Demon earlier.

The ghost mist released by his Yellow Springs Flag also had a confusing and corrosive effect.

If ordinary defensive Magic Treasures came into contact with it, they would directly turn into molten iron.

Some Yao Beasts were also affected in the same way.

However, he truly had no confidence in using it against the Ancient Demon covered in scales before him.

Fortunately, his target was not just the Ancient Demon, but also included Mu Feng and the other person in his calculations.

He knew that with the strength they currently displayed, trying to defeat this Ancient Demon in a short period was simply wishful thinking.

So, he also harbored malicious intentions, releasing the ghost mist from this Yellow Springs Flag to launch an indiscriminate attack.

This way, even if he couldn't resolve the Ancient Demon, if he could eliminate one of Mu Feng and the other person and seize their Magic Treasure, he would be able to escape successfully with the power of the Magic Treasures in his hand.

When Mu Feng first saw him release a large amount of ghost mist, he thought it was due to his hurried and imprecise control of the Magic Treasure.

He was about to speak up to remind him.

Unexpectedly, before the words left his mouth, he saw the murderous glint in his eyes and immediately knew he harbored ill intentions.

He couldn't help but transmit his voice to Han Yuyan: "Be careful of those black mists; this old man is probably going to turn hostile on us."

"Get ready for battle; if he makes any unusual Moves later, you release your Five-Colored Ice Flame Divine Ability to freeze him, and we'll deal with him first before together facing that Ancient Demon!"

Earlier, when attacking the Silver-Winged Yaksha with Mu Feng, Han Yuyan had heard Mu Feng's voice transmission.

So, hearing it again, she was not surprised.

While increasing the Magic Power input into the ancient treasure Blue Light Shield in her hand, she also nodded subtly to Mu Feng.

Indicating that she understood Mu Feng's meaning.

"That's good."

Seeing Han Yuyan's response, Mu Feng also relaxed.

He believed that with her intelligence, he only needed to hint once.

As for why they didn't deal with the Ancient Demon first but instead resolved this Nascent Soul Old Monster, the reason was simple.

That is, the Ancient Demon was not easy to deal with.

It was impossible to take it down in a short period.

Moreover, they couldn't just let someone with ill intentions lie in wait nearby.

This way, they would not only have to deal with the Ancient Demon but also guard against Dai Yi's sneak attacks.

As a result, they wouldn't be able to exert their full strength at all.

The Ancient Demon was already difficult to handle; if they still had to divert their attention to watch over Dai Yi, they would surely die.

Therefore, instead of being constrained on both sides, it was better to first use powerful Moves to eliminate one side, and then jointly deal with the remaining one.

This was also the reason why Mu Feng took the initiative to attack when he first saw Dai Yi approaching.

Later, when he discovered that Dai Yi intended to use the two of them, he deliberately held back, playing along with the plan, intending to use Dai Yi's strength to help him consume the Ancient Demon's power.

Initially, it did have some effect.

With Dai Yi helping them hold the line in front, the pressure was considerably eased.

Mu Feng originally wanted to continue letting the other party entangle with the Ancient Demon.

However, he didn't expect that Dai Yi wasn't foolish either.

Seeing the actions of Mu Feng and the other person, he also knew what they were thinking.

So, as soon as he had a moment of respite, he immediately released the indiscriminate ghost mist.

He intended to deal with the Ancient Demon, along with Mu Feng and the other person, all at once.

He even knew that the ghost mist couldn't cause too much damage to the Ancient Demon, so he could mobilize a large amount of ghost mist to engulf the two of them.

He planned to directly kill them and escape with their treasures!

"Senior, what is the meaning of this?"

"Instead of attacking that Devil Head with this ghost mist, you are using it against the two of us?"

His actions naturally couldn't be hidden from Mu Feng.

As soon as he saw him release it, he understood his intention.

However, the three of them were currently in a cooperative state, so Mu Feng pretended not to know.

He opened his mouth to question him.

After speaking, without waiting for the other party's reply, he immediately transmitted his voice to Han Yuyan:

"Act!"

The other party had already torn off his facade, so he naturally wouldn't foolishly wait for his reply; the words he had just spoken were merely to mislead the other party, making him think that he was still unaware of his scheme, thus causing him to relax.

"This old man… Gah!"

When Dai Yi heard Mu Feng's childish words, he thought he was incredibly naive.

His eyes darted, just as he was wondering whether to try and deceive him.

Suddenly, he felt a chill behind him.

Then he realized that he had been frozen into an ice sculpture by an unknown flame.

He tried to exert force to shatter the ice on his body.

However, he found that with his current Nascent Soul's Magic Power and Divine Ability, he couldn't shake it off for a moment.

This filled him with terror, and the words he was speaking abruptly stopped.

Fortunately, although he was frozen, he was unharmed for a short time due to the protective Magic Treasure on his body.

And he tried it and found that if he fully activated all his Magic Power, it would only take three or four seconds to break free from the ice on his body.

Immediately, Dai Yi's eyes darted, and he feigned confusion, saying: "Fellow Daoists, what is the meaning of this?"

"Didn't we agree to deal with that Devil Head together? Why are you attacking this old man instead?"

"Fellow Daoist, we both know what's going on, so stop pretending."

"Dare you say that you didn't bring this Ancient Demon here with the intention of shifting the blame?"

"Moreover, you were the one who first attacked us with ghost mist!"

Han Yuyan snorted coldly, disdainfully.

Seeing Han Yuyan reply, Dai Yi wanted to continue using delaying tactics to hold her back.

However, before he could speak again, he saw a sky full of sword shadows bombard his location!

It was Mu Feng, who, while he was speaking with Han Yuyan, had already unleashed his Lifebound Treasure, the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword, to ambush him.

Dai Yi had previously fought with Mu Feng and knew that his Lifebound Treasure was incredibly powerful.

He wanted to dodge.

But at the moment, he was frozen and couldn't escape at all.

He could only channel all his Magic Power into his protective Magic Treasure, attempting to avoid the current attack first.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!!!!

A large amount of sword light and sword shadows struck Dai Yi's body.

Dai Yi initially fully activated his protective Magic Treasure to resist, but soon he discovered a problem.

That is, the Lifebound Treasure released by Mu Feng looked incredibly imposing, even more massive than when it first attacked his Two Instruments Rings.

But after it struck his body, he realized that the opponent's attack was all thunder and no rain.

At first, he thought it was because his protective Magic Treasure was too powerful, causing him to feel nothing.

However, this thought was quickly dismissed by him.

He had witnessed the attack of the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword and knew that its power couldn't be so weak.

"Could it be that the opponent's continuous attacks have depleted his Magic Power and True Qi, causing the power of the Magic Treasure attacking me to greatly decrease?"

Dai Yi thought to himself.

"No, even though the opponent is continuously attacking and defending, his aura is stable; he doesn't seem to be exhausted of True Qi."

"Forget it, no matter what scheme he's planning, I'll break this solid ice first."

"I didn't expect that little girl, who seemed to be unremarkable in strength, would possess such a powerful ice Divine Ability; fortunately, I activated my protective Magic Treasure in advance, otherwise, I would have almost capsized in the gutter!"

Dai Yi thought as he mobilized all his Magic Power to fully break the Five-Colored Ice Flame's confinement.

His Magic Power was much stronger than Han Yuyan's.

With a determined effort to break free, Han Yuyan couldn't hold him for long at all.

So, as soon as he began to use his Magic Power to break the ice, Mu Feng transmitted his voice, telling Han Yuyan to voluntarily release the confinement.

Although Han Yuyan was puzzled by Mu Feng's actions, out of her trust in him, she directly withdrew her Divine Ability.

As soon as Dai Yi cast his Spell, he found that the ice had broken by itself.

This filled him with joy.

He thought Han Yuyan's Magic Power was running out.

However, before he could rejoice for long, a black shadow swiftly flew behind him in the ghost mist.

The axe, halberd, hook, and fork in its hand glowed crimson.

The sudden appearance of the black shadow startled Dai Yi.

He had been so engrossed in competing with Mu Feng and the other person that he had completely forgotten there was an even more powerful character waiting for him here.

"Thump!"

He instinctively wanted to dodge, but the black shadow's speed was too fast for him.

The four weapons swiftly broke through his defenses.

Then, a black hand reached out and grabbed a still-beating heart.

"Puff!"

With a muffled sound, his Physical Body's heart was directly crushed by the ghostly hand.

"Hehehe!"

Pulling out Dai Yi's heart, the Ancient Demon smiled triumphantly and put the crushed heart into its mouth, savoring it.

With his Physical Body dead, a miniature version of "Dai Yi" fearfully escaped from within!

Who else could it be but Dai Yi's Nascent Soul.

Although Mu Feng had killed many Nascent Soul Old Monsters, they were all Yao Beasts or some monsters; it was his first time seeing a Cultivator's Nascent Soul, and he couldn't help but curiously examine it.

He heard that a Cultivator's Nascent Soul could instantly teleport.

Just as he was wondering how the other party would teleport, a pair of ghostly hands reached out again.

Dai Yi quickly tried to cast Nascent Soul teleportation to avoid it.

However, before he could release the Spell, he felt his head spin, and then his Nascent Soul was uncontrollably sucked in by the ghostly hands.

"No!"

"Little friend, save me!"

Feeling the threat to his life, Dai Yi's miniature Nascent Soul immediately cried for help, wanting Mu Feng to rescue him.

However, no matter how he shouted, Mu Feng remained completely still.

Instead, his mouth kept moving, as if he was transmitting instructions.

"Ah…!!"

With a painful scream, Dai Yi's Nascent Soul was swallowed by the Ancient Demon.
