Gray Nether Needle, Yue Ye Captured Ahead of Time

"I advise you two not to act rashly."

Yue Ye paced over to Lin Feng and looked him over before continuing, "I admit that I wouldn't have been able to withstand that move of yours just now either."

"But now, your spiritual power is exhausted. The thunderclouds were dispersed by that attack as well."

"What do you have left to contend with me?"

"Why not obediently return to the Demon Race with me? I can also forgive you for ruining my plans earlier."

After witnessing Lin Feng's performance just now, Yue Ye was even more satisfied with him.

If someone this exceptional could be used by her, then given Lin Feng a few more years to grow to a sufficient height, the influence of her Moon Night Merchant Guild might become even greater.

Lin Feng looked at Yue Ye, who was eighteen and still had traces of childishness on her face, yet possessed Fifth Stage Level Five strength. In his current state, he truly could not defeat her.

The reason he had been able to defeat Leng Xiao's Heaven Defying Demon Dragon was indeed because he had borrowed the right timing, location, and circumstances. Otherwise, with his spiritual power, Musou Slash could at most reach the level of Peak Fifth Rank.

Killing a Heaven Defying Demon Dragon with a body comparable to the Sixth Stage was indeed unlikely.

However, he had already taken Yue Ye into consideration. Just as Lin Feng was about to say something—

Cai'er's icy voice rang out from beside him.

"Stay away from him!" Cai'er said coldly as she watched Yue Ye approach Lin Feng.

"...What if I don't?" Not only did Yue Ye ignore Cai'er's warning, she reached through the barrier and placed her hand on Lin Feng's cheek.

"He will be mine from now on." Yue Ye looked at Cai'er provocatively.

Just as Lin Feng was about to slap Yue Ye's hand away, a terrifying killing intent erupted from Cai'er.

Then, Cai'er vanished from within the protective barrier with her spatial ability. When she reappeared, she was already beside Yue Ye, and the Reincarnation Sword in her hand slashed without hesitation at Yue Ye's outstretched arm.

Yue Ye reacted quickly. The instant Cai'er vanished, she had already covered herself with a layer of magical defense.

After successfully evading Cai'er's attack, Yue Ye said with some surprise, "I'd forgotten that you have spatial abilities too."

Cai'er had never been good with words. Her only answer to Yue Ye was the Reincarnation Sword in her hand.

Yet she felt somewhat jealous. She had never touched Lin Feng's face like that, so why could this woman, whom they had only just met, do it?

"Do you know that I really hate the way you speak to me? It reminds me of some people I hate." Yue Ye seemed to recall some unpleasant memories as well, and the playful look in her eyes vanished.

Cai'er's tone reminded her of her father, her brother, and the Demon God Emperor...

As a Human-Demon Hybrid, even though her talent was already the best in the Moon Demon Race, those demons still gossiped about her behind her back. Even her own father did not acknowledge her abilities. Clearly, she was stronger than everyone her age, yet she did not even have the qualifications to become a Demon God's successor.

As the daughter of the Moon Demon God, that identity merely allowed her to survive.

After fighting her way through life since childhood, she had come to understand one truth: this world was one where the strong preyed on the weak. Only when one was strong enough could one control their own fate.

Only then could one secure a place in this world.

That was also why she provoked Cai'er in front of her. She merely saw Cai'er as a reflection of those people she hated.

"I don't like you either." Cai'er's speed increased further.

Faced with Cai'er's assault, Yue Ye easily dodged her attacks with her terrifying reserves of spiritual power and understanding of magic.

At the same time, she teased, "I know you like him, but he has to be mine."

Cai'er said, "Shut up!"

Lin Feng: "..."

Naturally, Lin Feng had heard the two of them bickering. When Yue Ye suddenly touched him, it had felt rather strange. He was handsome, sure, but not so absurdly handsome that Yue Ye would fall in love with him at first sight.

Still, watching the two fight, Lin Feng was somewhat worried.

With Cai'er's speed, Yue Ye had no way to deal with her in the short term. But Yue Ye was, after all, Fifth Stage, and her spiritual power was far more abundant than Cai'er's.

If this dragged on, Cai'er's spiritual power would definitely run out first.

"Paimon, come out and help."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Paimon flew out from between his brows and stretched lazily in midair.

"Why is Cai'er fighting someone?" Paimon said, rubbing her eyes.

Though Paimon complained, a towering Gate of Living Beings still rose before her.

Soon, the sound of machinery activating came from within the Gate of Living Beings.

"Eh, it seems to be a Ruin Grader." Paimon scratched her head.

At the same time, Yue Ye, who was fighting Cai'er, noticed the situation on Lin Feng's side.

A humanoid robot emerged from the Gate of Living Beings. Under Lin Feng's command, it shattered the shield around Lin Feng with a single punch.

Then, the yellow core on the bulky robot's head gathered yellow light and fired a yellow laser at her.

Its power was approaching Peak Fifth Rank.

Yue Ye: ???

Faced with this sudden attack, Yue Ye did not react in time.

Fortunately, she managed to throw up several protective barriers around herself. However, against a laser with the destructive power of Peak Fifth Rank, Yue Ye's barriers were like paper.

They shattered one after another.

Just when she thought she would have to take the attack head-on with her body, the laser vanished.

But Cai'er had seized the opportunity. The Reincarnation Sword was pressed directly against Yue Ye's neck...

Cai'er had originally wanted to kill her, but when she saw that Lin Feng could have killed Yue Ye yet suddenly stopped, she understood that Lin Feng had his own purpose.

Lin Feng gave a small hop and sat in the Ruin Grader's palm, directing it to walk over to Yue Ye.

Even Yue Ye, who had seen much of the world, wore a puzzled expression when she saw this mechanical contraption before her.

"I never expected you to be a fourth-stage Grand Summoner. I did not lose for nothing." Even while being held hostage by Cai'er, Yue Ye remained neither servile nor overbearing.

Seeing this, Lin Feng said directly to Cai'er, "Cai'er, Gray Nether Needle."

Cai'er froze for a moment, but quickly understood. While Yue Ye was still looking bewildered, Cai'er struck her chest with her palm.

The intense pain made Yue Ye instinctively let out a moan.

It felt as if her heart had stopped beating.

Only after a moment did Yue Ye react. Clutching her chest and gasping for breath, she looked at Lin Feng. "What... what did you do to me? What is the Gray Nether Needle?"

Seeing Yue Ye suffer, the displeasure in Cai'er's heart finally faded.

She spread open her palm, and a needle formed from the aura of death appeared in her hand.

"Hmph." Cai'er snorted. "I planted a Gray Nether Needle like this one in your heart. No matter where you are, as long as I will it, I can detonate the Gray Nether Needle in your heart and crush your heart!"

Yue Ye's expression turned extremely ugly upon hearing Cai'er's words.

Just moments ago, Cai'er had been a lamb waiting to be slaughtered before her. In an instant, their positions had completely reversed.

Seeing Yue Ye's expression, Cai'er added insult to injury. "And only I can remove this restriction. If I die, the Gray Nether Needle will erupt as well."
