Chapter 317: Volume-3 Chapter-19!
He knew that he had to strike fast.
Noticing Ye Ming's closed eyes, Lin Feng's confidence shot up.
Controlling the whips of scarlet lightning, he sent them swinging at Ye Ming.
They were like venomous snakes striking at their prey with their fangs.
The whips moved at a terrifyingly fast speed, cutting through the air without any resistance.
After all, they were made of lightning, right?
Whoosh!
They let out a cutting sound as they moved through the air.
Lin Feng's lips were about to curl up, feeling confident in ending Ye Ming's life today.
However—
Something unexpected happened!
Just as the whips were about to strike Ye Ming, a golden barrier manifested around him, blocking the first whip without any problem.
However, the following whips managed to develop cracks in it.
A white pendant around Ye Ming's neck glowed with a blinding white light. It left the support of Ye Ming's chest and floated in the air.
Although Ye Ming's eyes were closed, he could feel the pendant leaving his chest and the sound of whips striking against something around him.
"W-What happened all of a sudden?" Ye Ming could only act surprised and terrified by the situation.
He was perfectly hidden in the direction when a sudden blinding scarlet light covered the entire area.
He knew that it was Lin Feng who had conjured that light; however, he was more surprised by the fact that Lin Feng already knew the weakness of his skill.
On the other hand, Lin Feng could also see through the blinding light, however, he couldn't understand what was happening.
What was that barrier?
How was it stopping his whips?
His whips should be more than capable of breaking any barrier.
Moreover, he had struck that barrier with more than fifteen whips one after another in succession, but even then, only cracks appeared on it.
However, Lin Feng was still confident that the barrier would break before even the light dissipated.
Moreover, he could maintain this light for more than fifteen seconds.
He had enough time to kill this bug.
And as he had expected, the barrier was cracking faster with each strike.
Then, in the next moment, it shattered!
Another whip moved to finish Ye Ming, who wasn't protected by anything anymore.
However,
Just at that moment—
Someone manifested in front of Ye Ming.
He was a handsome man, his shoulders broad, and an aura of power exuded from him.
He stood clad in pristine white royal robes, the fabric embroidered with faint golden patterns that shimmered softly under the light.
His long auburn hair was gathered neatly at the crown with golden hairpins, yet the rest flowed freely past his neck, cascading down his back like strands of polished silk stirred by a gentle breeze.
His crystal blue eyes were calm. There was no arrogance in them, only an effortless confidence, the kind that came from someone who had never needed to doubt his own place in the world. They looked almost lazy at first glance, yet beneath that ease lay a quiet sharpness, as though nothing around him could truly escape his notice.
As soon as he manifested in front of Ye Ming, his lazed eyes moved, almost instantly recognizing the threat to his life.
It was as if he was experiencing time relatively slower than others.
Without even needing to turn his face toward the whip, he raised his hand and swatted away the whip with a single swing of his hand.
Lin Feng's eyes widened in shock at this scene. He almost wanted to cough out blood due to the ridiculousness of the sight in front of him.
The man in front of him could see through the blinding light, and as if that wasn't unusual, he seemed too lax.
The ease with which he swatted his whip away was concerning.
And as if that wasn't enough, he didn't even look at the whip.
He just glanced at it from the corner of his eyes and then slapped it away.
However, Lin Feng wasn't one to be discouraged just because of that.
Without wasting any time, he sent more than ten whips at different angles, all aiming to kill Ye Ming instead of the man that had made his appearance.
Right now, Lin Feng's only target was the helpless Ye Ming instead of the man who could defend himself without any problems.
The whips moved at different angles like the tentacles of an octopus, trying to smash the entire area around Ye Ming.
The man scoffed at this, and suddenly, dark tentacles rose out of the ground, colliding with the whips.
Even though the darkness was weak against the lightning whips, the dark tentacles held out.
Through sheer force, they sent the whips flying back.
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and moved more whips to strike Ye Ming.
However, the same scene repeated itself as dark tentacles rose from the ground, creating a circle around Ye Ming and the man himself.
The whips were getting sent back by the dark tentacles.
Even though the light was chasing away the darkness in these tentacles, making them weaker, the mysterious man used his own qi to sustain the tentacles long enough to defend Ye Ming.
"Yawn..." He yawned, looking at Lin Feng with a bored expression. "Hey, why don't we end it here? I'm just here to protect this child. I have no animosity with you. Just let me leave with him, and we won't have to fight."
He then smirked confidently and added: "Moreover, you must have understood the gap in our strength. If I want to, I can end your life, but I'm feeling generous today. Be clever and take my offer."
Hearing his boastful offer, Lin Feng halted.
The light receded, letting everyone see once again.
Ye Ming's vision also returned.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, could be seen floating with a contemplating expression.
He was looking at the man with caution and curiosity.
"Who are you? Identify yourself first." Lin Feng demanded.
