"Kill you, and the stuff will still be mine!"
Li Fei said coldly.
The next second, he raised his hand, and one of the sharpest tentacles stabbed straight toward Kunsha's heart.
"Stop!!!!"
However, at that critical moment, an aura of heavy blade energy cleaved down from the sky.
"Hm?"
This time, Li Fei was taken aback.
This heavy blade energy was no ordinary attack.
Boom!!!!
The next second, an explosion rang out as smoke billowed upward.
Li Fei's body was pushed back by the shockwave.
However, he was not injured.
That was perhaps the attacker's intention.
The smoke dispersed.
The willow branches snapped apart inch by inch, but supported by their vigorous life force, they quickly regrew. The severed portions also reformed into complete willow branches.
Kunsha had already disappeared.
Li Fei sensed something and looked in the direction his perception indicated.
He saw several figures descending from the sky, landing beneath some of the surrounding buildings.
One of them carried a massive heavy blade on his back.
They exuded a dense bloody aura. Their clothing was similar to Kunsha's, each bearing a Blood Red mark.
They were Kunsha's Iron Blood Squad members!
This was a small squad that had spent years walking the line between life and death, enduring countless bloody trials. They possessed extensive combat experience and excellent coordination.
Six people had come. Including the rescued Kunsha, there were seven in total.
"Seventh, are you kidding me? You got yourself into such a sorry state fighting one kid!"
"Why didn't you just die?"
"If word gets out, won't people laugh at our Iron Blood Squad for being trash?"
"Especially when that guy is just a Plant Willow Tree."
The others began taunting him in low voices.
"I won't die, but if you'd come any later, I would have."
"Be careful. That kid's martial soul and that Black and White Pattern are strange. Once I entered its range, everything about me was weakened, and I couldn't build up any speed!"
"Do you know what it is?"
Kunsha snorted and spoke.
The bloody holes in his body sent piercing pain through him.
"That golden Willow Tree should be a Mutated Martial Soul."
"As for that Black and White Pattern... based on what you described... could it be the legendary domain!"
The Middle-aged Man standing at the highest point, with the heavy blade on his back, looked at the golden Willow Tree behind Li Fei and spoke in a low voice.
As he said this, the Middle-aged Man's pupils contracted.
Clearly, he was quite knowledgeable.
After all, he had traveled far and wide and seen much.
"What!?"
"A domain!?"
The others revealed shocked expressions upon hearing this.
"Not bad. I thought you were just a bunch of simple-minded brutes."
Li Fei clearly heard their conversation. The corners of his lips curled up as he spoke calmly.
"Damn little brat!"
"You're dead!"
"I'm only the weakest of Iron Blood!"
Kunsha gritted his teeth.
"Kid, I am Zhao Tiesheng, captain of the Iron Blood Squad! A Level 37 Close-Combat Soul Elder!"
"Considering that your cultivation has not come easily and that you are a genius, how about this? Join our Iron Blood Squad, and we will let bygones be bygones. What do you say?"
The man carrying the heavy blade spoke coldly.
"What!?"
"You want to recruit him?"
"Captain, don't! Otherwise, I got beaten for nothing!"
Kunsha's pupils shrank, and he immediately panicked.
"Shut up!"
"You were inferior in skill, and you still have the nerve to speak?"
Zhao Tiesheng looked coldly at Kunsha and shouted.
Kunsha gritted his teeth, then finally lowered his head helplessly.
He could only compromise.
"Kid, make your choice quickly!"
Zhao Tiesheng turned his gaze back to Li Fei.
Li Fei said disdainfully, "Not interested. If you want to fight, then fight. Why so much nonsense?"
He did not think much of a mere Soul Elder squad.
"Excellent. This kid is dead for sure!" Kunsha was delighted inside, a vicious glint flashing through his eyes.
"Then we cannot spare you!"
"Go! Kill it!"
"His domain definitely cannot last long! Wear him down from afar!"
Zhao Tiesheng snorted coldly, intense killing intent bursting from his eyes.
The next second, five people charged toward Li Fei from different directions.
However, having been warned by Kunsha, they did not directly enter the domain's range.
Instead, they launched ranged attacks from afar to wear him down.
The remaining person was a support-system Soul Master. She was the only woman in the team, a Level Thirty-Two Support System Soul Elder, and she was treating Kunsha's injuries.
Once Kunsha recovered from his injuries, he would also be able to join the battle.
"First Soul Skill—Wind Blade Cutting!"
One of them merged with his Wind Hawk martial soul and flew into the air.
He activated his first soul skill, summoning sharp wind blades that rained down toward Li Fei.
"Second Soul Skill—Tiger Roar Light Wave!"
Another summoned a black fierce tiger to merge with his body. The tiger's roar shook the heavens as it fired a black light wave from its mouth toward Li Fei.
This was also his only ranged soul skill.
The others also unleashed their ranged soul skills, coordinating their attacks against Li Fei!
Due to the nature of being mercenaries, they would always consider hunting a Soul Beast with a ranged soul skill to absorb its Soul Ring. This ensured that they would not be left helpless after widening the distance for safety.
Just like when they encountered Li Fei, who possessed a domain.
Without the aid of ranged soul skills, they could only keep their distance from Li Fei at the perimeter until his domain vanished because he lacked the Soul Power to maintain it, only then daring to attack.
However, they did not know that as long as Li Fei wished it, his domain could remain active indefinitely.
"Wood Release—Wood Ingot Wall!"
Li Fei raised his hand and lightly clenched it.
The next second, rows of thick Ambrosial Arbor formed from willow branches curved up from the ground into an arched wall, protecting him.
And it formed extremely quickly!
It was completed almost instantly!
This also showed that Li Fei had exceptional control over his Soul Power and this skill.
Bang bang bang bang bang!!!!!!!
The Wood Ingot Wall not only had Yang Force enhancing its defensive strength, but also Yin Force weakening the attacks. The weakened portion was converted into defensive strength, while Gold Attribute and Earth Attribute were added as well.
The Water Attribute provided further cushioning.
After the explosions ended, the smoke dispersed.
The Wood Ingot Wall stood firmly in place, showing no signs of damage.
"What!?"
"Its defense is actually this high!"
"What is this thing? It's so hard!"
"How does this kid have so many soul skills?"
The five revealed greatly shocked expressions.
Zhao Tiesheng said in astonishment, "This should be a Self-Created Soul Skill! It would have been wonderful if such a genius could join us. What a pity!"
"His domain disappeared!"
"Now!"
"Third Soul Skill—Broken Slash!"
Zhao Tiesheng suddenly noticed that the Black and White Pattern had vanished. He immediately raised the heavy blade in his hand, rushed before the Wood Ingot Wall, and unleashed his killing move, slashing down viciously!
The others also charged forward, similarly unleashing their third soul skills and striking the Wood Ingot Wall with all their might!
Boom!
Under the combined attack of several third soul skills, the Wood Ingot Wall still exploded into smoke beneath the overwhelming power.
Though this thing was powerful, it was not invincible.
Before an absolute abundance of immense power, it would still be crushed.
Li Fei's figure was sent flying backward from the smoke of the explosion.
"Now this is interesting."
"Don't think you're the only ones with numbers."
"Wood Release—Body Double Technique!"
Li Fei's lips curled upward, completely unhurried.
He was enjoying this battle.
If these people could not even break through the Wood Ingot Wall, then they were not qualified to be his opponents. That would be far too boring.
He slowly raised his hands and formed a hand seal.
The next second.
Figures identical to him appeared behind him one after another.
Willow branches formed armor over their bodies as they charged toward Zhao Tiesheng and the other five.
These clones possessed one hundred percent of the Main Body's strength!
