218: Chapter 218 Encounter

"Do not make a move yet, wait for Chenghe and the others to arrive." Wei Chengyue's eyes were sharp as he stopped the eager Wei Chengxing.

"Brother Yue, aren't you being too cautious? One Martial Ancestor Late Stage, one Martial Ancestor Middle Stage—I doubt they can escape from our grasp." Although Wei Chengxing was unconvinced in his heart, he did not act on his own, obediently hunkering down in the snowdrift without moving.

"Caution is the parent of safety. We must capture this brat, Ye Yisong, this time." Wei Chengyue watched the two people gradually approaching, speaking in a firm tone.

"Yisong, what is it? Looking for the king of the mountain again?" Boss Ye still did not understand why a three-day journey had dragged on for five days.

When Mortals travel, they cut through mountains when they encounter them and build bridges when they encounter water.

The two of them were currently on the run for their lives!

But Ye Yisong, regardless of whether they encountered mountains or water, was in no rush to travel; instead, he insisted on finding the local Yao Beast leader and killing it before continuing on his way.

"Something is wrong, Old Uncle, retreat!" Ye Yisong stopped in his tracks and quickly retreated.

"Brother Yue, we've been discovered, chase!" Seeing the two people retreating at high speed, Wei Chengxing could no longer restrain his restless heart; his body shot out from the snow nest like an arrow from a bow, rapidly pursuing the two.

"Thirteenth Young Master, how did you discover something was wrong?" Boss Ye asked curiously while retreating.

"Have you ever seen a deep forest without a single Yao Beast?" Ye Yisong reminded him.

"No wonder every time you arrive at a new place, you insist on searching for the tracks of Yao Beasts. So that's how you can avoid enemy ambushes." Boss Ye suddenly realized.

Ye Yisong had been considering how to explain his abnormal behavior afterwards, but unexpectedly, Boss Ye had filled in the blanks himself, covering this loophole for him and invisibly solving the problem. Excellent!

"Brat, you cannot run today." Wei Chengxing transformed into a streak of light, following closely behind the two.

"Two Martial Ancestor Late Stage experts, this is troublesome." Boss Ye looked back and recognized one of them as Wei Chengyue of the Wei Family.

"Thirteenth Young Master, you go first, I will cover the rear."

"Old Uncle, don't be impulsive. I know one of them; he just had an arm severed a few months ago and surely hasn't recovered yet." Ye Yisong said quickly while fleeing. "We will lure them into the poisonous miasma ahead and take care of them together."

"Two against two, a quick battle to settle it. Once we deal with those two, we can quickly pass through Nanya Commandery and will surely be able to return to Luomu Mountain safely."

"Good." Boss Ye thought for a moment and agreed.

After these few days of fleeing for their lives, Boss Ye had a new understanding of Ye Yisong's strength; holding off an injured Martial Ancestor Late Stage Martial Artist should be no problem.

"Brother Yue, the two of them have broken into the poisonous miasma ahead. What should we do?" Wei Chengxing said with a frown.

"We go in too, chase!" Wei Chengyue said without hesitation. Before entering the poisonous miasma, he shared a Tier 4 Antidote Pill with Wei Chengxing.

Neither of them dared to delay. Waiting for clan members to come and support them was the best choice, but if too much time passed, it was uncertain whether the two would escape from different exits.

Wei Chengxing and Wei Chengyue set up a Spiritual Qi barrier around their bodies to block the infiltration of poisonous gas. The poisonous miasma forest had such dense poisonous gas that it blocked their vision, so they slowed down their pursuit of Ye Yisong and the other.

"How can such a place exist in Nanya Commandery? Poisonous gas is everywhere. Don't the nearby Families clean up this place?" Wei Chengxing complained. If they hadn't still been able to track the traces of the two fleeing, they would have left this place long ago.

"Chengxing, don't move!"

Wei Chengyue shouted and blocked in front of Wei Chengxing.

Two blood-red eyeballs, as large as lanterns, suddenly appeared before them, emitting a hissing sound.

"Blood Fiend Spider."

Cold sweat streamed down Wei Chengxing's face; if not for Wei Chengyue's warning, he would have nearly collided right into this Yao Beast.

"Retreat!"

How would the Blood Fiend Spider let them have their way? It spat out spider silk, forming a fishy and foul-smelling steel wire net that wrapped around them.

"Something is wrong, we only trespassed into its territory; why did this beast go berserk as soon as it appeared?" Wei Chengxing drew his sword to cut the spider silk wrapped around him, struggling to move his body to dodge the piercing of the Blood Fiend Spider's claws, which flashed with cold light.

But this Blood Fiend Spider was a Tier 4 Late Stage Yao Beast, and being in a state of rage, its combat power soared, leaving Wei Chengxing covered in wounds after just a few rounds.

Moreover, this Yao Beast possessed potent poison; even a Martial Ancestor expert, if not careful, would be struck and fall into a state of mental dissipation, with their life hanging by a thread.

"Quickly leave this poisonous miasma, we are not its match here." Wei Chengyue was equally unable to look after himself, as the more spider silk he cut, the more there was.

Crimson Flame Heart-Locking Sword!

Wei Chengyue used one sword strike to sever the spider limb stuck in Wei Chengxing's right foot, then grabbed Wei Chengxing and flew towards the sky, attempting to rush directly out of the poisonous miasma.

"Hiss, you killed my child, where are you going?"

Enduring intense pain, the Blood Fiend Spider spat out two new strands of spider silk, wrapping them around Wei Chengxing's injured ankle and pulling the two, not letting them escape.

"Vile beast, we didn't kill your child; you've got the wrong person for revenge."

Wei Chengxing cursed angrily, his hands not slowing down in the slightest as he directly cut the spider silk wrapped around his ankle and continued to fly toward the outside of the poisonous miasma.

"It's a trap."

Wei Chengyue, carrying Wei Chengxing, emerged from the tree canopy and crashed headlong into a spider web, suddenly unable to move at all.

The Blood Fiend Spider had just been trying hard to entangle them only to make them lower their guard; in fact, it had long since secretly set a trap above their heads, waiting for them to drill into it!

What a vicious Blood Fiend Spider!

"You go first, I will deal with this beast."

Wei Chengyue pushed Wei Chengxing away, wanting to face the Blood Fiend Spider that was chasing up the spider silk alone. The Blood Fiend Spider took advantage of the gap while Wei Chengyue was entangled in the spider web and bit down on Wei Chengyue's thigh. Purple-black blood immediately seeped from his thigh, flowing onto the leaves.

After the leaves were stained with this purple-black blood, they immediately emitted black smoke and turned into ashes.

"Ah!"

Wei Chengyue cried out in pain, his face turning pale, but ignoring his injuries, he locked his legs in a scissor-kick shape, firmly locking the Blood Fiend Spider. Then, gathering all his Spiritual Qi and pouring it into his long sword, he stabbed through the Blood Fiend Spider's back in one strike, going straight to the heart and shredding the Blood Fiend Spider's internal organs.

Although the Blood Fiend Spider's internal organs were severely damaged, it was not yet dead. It opened its mouth, intending to bite Wei Chengyue's Qi Sea Dantian again, but was slashed away by Wei Chengxing, who had rushed back, falling into the dense forest below.

"Brother Yue!"

Wei Chengxing supported the black-blood-spitting Wei Chengyue and cried out in pain, his eyes filled with hot tears as he swung his sword desperately to cut the dense spider webs, trying to rescue Wei Chengyue.

"Go quickly!"

Wei Chengyue shouted weakly, his hands lifting with difficulty to push Wei Chengxing.

Although Wei Chengxing and Wei Chengyue both belonged to the Cheng generation of Martial Artists in the Wei Family, there was a vast difference in their ages. It could almost be said that Wei Chengxing was raised by Wei Chengyue's own hands; he taught Wei Chengxing knowledge, guided him in literacy, and personally instructed him in his martial arts Cultivation. Although the two were of the same clan and named brothers, their relationship was in fact deep, just like father and son.

At this moment, how could Wei Chengxing flee alone!

"Swish!"

A golden Talisman transformed into a giant sword, precisely striking the Blood Fiend Spider below at its most vulnerable spot, its mouth, splitting it in two.
