A figure emanating a misty aura appeared before Feng Wuji.
The figure slowly strode towards him, each step creating subtle ripples in the air.
With a casual wave of his hand, the long sabers in Xiao Biao and the others' grasp transformed into specks of starlight and vanished into the air.
In that moment, Feng Wuji felt as if he were witnessing a deity!
Even Hei Hu and the others stood frozen, bewildered.
What incredible power was this!
"What are you waiting for?"
Ye Ming arrived before Feng Wuji and asked calmly.
Hearing the voice, Feng Wuji snapped back to reality and quickly cupped his hands. "Many... many thanks for your grace in saving them!"
His heart was still in a state of shock. After all, the transition from despair to hope was not something an ordinary person could adapt to quickly.
"I will only help protect them. As for your enemies, you must resolve them yourself." Ye Ming looked at Hei Hu and the others, showing no intention of assisting Feng Wuji.
At this moment, Hei Hu recognized Ye Ming.
Although he had never met Ye Ming before, he had a deep impression of this young man from the intelligence he had gathered.
However, he had never imagined that this mysterious young man would be so terrifying.
At that moment, time seemed to have truly stopped.
Steadfastly calming his mind, Hei Hu said, with a forced courage, "Your excellency, if you wish to save them, I dare not act!"
Ye Ming looked at him, his tone slightly cold. "You don't need to provoke me. I said, your matters are for him to settle!"
Then, Ye Ming looked at Feng Wuji and warned, "If you die, everyone behind you will be buried with you. So, do not place your hopes on me!"
"Your previous intervention has already earned my deepest gratitude. I will naturally not trouble you further." Feng Wuji showed no resentment for Ye Ming's passive stance.
On the contrary, he was filled with gratitude.
"Mm!"
Ye Ming nodded and said no more.
Afterward, Feng Wuji turned around, his eyes filled with an unwavering conviction. It was at this moment that he truly realized that the brothers behind him must be protected by himself.
And to achieve this, he could only become stronger!
Faster!
In the despair of before, he had felt his own weakness and powerlessness. Thus, he did not want such a situation to repeat itself.
Feng Wuji walked towards Hei Hu. With each step he took, his aura intensified, and the conviction in his heart responded.
He was undergoing a metamorphosis.
By the time Feng Wuji reached Hei Hu, his aura had surged to a terrifying degree.
"Come, fight!"
With a low roar, Feng Wuji's figure appeared before Hei Hu.
Bang!
A punch, without any warning, landed directly on his forehead. Hei Hu immediately felt dizzy, and his entire body was sent flying backward.
He hadn't seen the previous strike clearly.
However, Hei Hu remained a strong Martial King realm expert and did not falter after that punch. He quickly stabilized himself, pushing off the ground.
He launched his first attack.
Fierce true qi surged from his body as he sent a palm strike towards Feng Wuji.
But it landed empty.
Feng Wuji's speed had undergone a qualitative change. Everywhere he passed, an afterimage was left behind.
Gradually, the afterimages before Hei Hu multiplied.
"Damn it!"
He remained vigilant, expanding his senses to their limit. A single lapse in attention could lead to dire consequences.
"I am here!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared to Hei Hu's left. Acting on instinct, he gathered true qi in his palm and struck at the figure on his left.
Without any surprise, his palm passed straight through the figure.
However, he felt no impact.
Then, the figure his palm had pierced transformed into a wisp of smoke and dissipated into the air.
"Bad!"
As Hei Hu realized the danger, he spun around, but it was too late.
A fist that felt as heavy as a thousand pounds slammed into his chest. Caught off guard, a mouthful of blood erupted from his mouth, and his body was sent flying backward.
CRASH!
He then fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a shower of debris.
This punch carried all of Feng Wuji's strength, aimed at delivering a fatal blow to Hei Hu.
Beneath this punch, Hei Hu's chest bones had caved in, his internal organs were severely damaged, and other parts of his body also sustained injuries of varying degrees.
It was clearly impossible for him to stand up again.
"Pfft!"
Another gush of blood spurted from Hei Hu's mouth. His aura at this moment was so weak it was barely perceptible.
"I lost!"
He lay on the ground, making no futile struggles.
"Sect Master!"
At this moment, the members of the Hei Hu Sect quickly surged forward, surrounding Hei Hu in the center and warily eyeing Feng Wuji.
However, their eyes held more fear than anything else.
At this time, Feng Wuji naturally would not show mercy.
He recalled the many brothers who had perished at their hands.
Feng Wuji's figure flickered, and he appeared before the members of the Hei Hu Sect.
"Scram!" His eyes were cold, filled with intense killing intent.
His first priority was to finish off Hei Hu.
Facing the murderous Feng Wuji, the Hei Hu Sect began to retreat, no longer daring to obstruct him.
In the end, only two figures remained before Feng Wuji.
One of them still maintained a fighting spirit, ready to engage Feng Wuji at any moment.
This was naturally Chi Lang—Wu Yan.
The other was a young man wearing glasses, who looked like a frail scholar.
His name was Xu Ming, one of the Four Leopards of the Hei Hu Sect—Wen Bao.
In truth, Xu Ming's own strength was not great.
The reason he was one of the Four Leopards of the Hei Hu Sect was due to his outstanding intelligence gathering and management abilities. Thus, he held a position among the Four Leopards.
Yet, facing Feng Wuji now, Xu Ming could still stand before him with composure. This showed that he was not someone who feared death.
"You two believe you can stop me!"
Although they were enemies, Feng Wuji admired the courage of the two men who dared to stand in his path.
Alas, enemies remained enemies.
His admiration would not change that.
"You two, step aside!"
At this moment, Hei Hu's weak voice echoed from behind the two.
Though his voice was soft, it carried an authoritative tone.
"Yes!"
Although the two obeyed Hei Hu's command, they only stepped back two paces, positioning themselves on either side of Hei Hu.
Maintaining their vigilance.
"I never expected that even someone like you would have loyal subordinates," Feng Wuji stepped forward, his words laced with mockery and a hint of surprise.
"Heh heh! I didn't expect it either!"
Hei Hu was not lying with this statement.
He was genuinely surprised by the loyalty of Xu Ming and Wu Yan.
"Then you are truly pathetic!" Feng Wuji responded coldly.
"Perhaps you are right!" Hei Hu looked at the killing intent that had been lurking in Feng Wuji's eyes and grinned. "Are you planning to kill us all now?"
Did Feng Wuji possess such ruthless methods?
"Of course!" Feng Wuji's killing intent did not wane. "In the battle against you, sixteen of my brothers died. Therefore, blood must be repaid with blood!"
"Hahahaha! Well said, blood repaid with blood!" Hei Hu let out a laugh and said, "How about one life for one life?"
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Wuji frowned.
"It means exactly what it says!"
Before Feng Wuji could decipher the meaning, Hei Hu's body suddenly vanished from his spot.
However, Feng Wuji did not sense any threat.
But in the next second, when he saw the scene before him, he was stunned.
