Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267

As they spoke, the oppressive aura of murder, along with a chilling atmosphere, burst forth from Elder Xi Feng’s body.

Everyone around felt the cold, and the ground began to freeze. Thanks to Elder Xi Feng, the temperature had already dropped below minus 10℃...

Those present were martial artists with strong Inner Strength and could naturally endure such cold. However, for those who don’t know martial arts or are severely injured, this cold was somewhat unbearable!

"Transfer the wounded! Transfer the ordinary people!"

Ye Tian shouted, and Bilis and her medical team immediately took orders!

"Boss, I know what to do!"

With that, Bilis, along with the martial artists in the medical team, began transferring the heavily wounded companions, and Yun Xinyan did the same.

Yun Xinyan, holding a sleeping baby in her arms, gazed with eyes full of reluctance, but she was also helpless because she didn’t know martial arts. Staying here would only cause trouble for Ye Tian...

"Trying to run? It’s not that easy!"

Elder Xi Feng sneered coldly, then waved his hand, sending a blast of cold air directly in the direction where Yun Xinyan was.

The cold was threatening, and Bilis, personally escorting Yun Xinyan, found it troublesome. With her own Inner Strength, she couldn’t resist the oppressive cold of Elder Xi Feng. If she forcibly took it, both she and Yun Xinyan might be frozen.

Fortunately, just as Elder Xi Feng’s cold was about to hit the two, a stream of Vacuum Qi Force collided with that cold...

The fierce forces collided, immediately erupting in a violent sound.

"Oh? You can actually rival my strength?"

Elder Xi Feng sneered, looking at the person who unleashed that Vacuum Qi Force. Who else could it be but Tian Qi?

Although Elder Xi Feng hadn’t exerted all his strength, the cold he emitted was actually blocked by one of the mere thirteen guards, which left him quite displeased...

Facing Elder Xi Feng’s sharp sarcasm, Tian Qi was already panting.

Even if Elder Xi Feng held back, his strength was formidable. Tian Qi had to exert all her efforts to resist his strength, and Tian Qi’s injuries had not yet recovered. The remaining strength within her was originally not much, and the previous shot of Qi Force left her exhausted.

Seeing that Tian Qi saved her again, Yun Xinyan felt a surge of gratitude. But at this urgent moment, she couldn’t thank Tian Qi in person. All she needed to do was to flee the battlefield with Bilis.

Bilis and her medical team, though not skilled in Qinggong, were still powerful martial artists. It didn’t take long for them to move Yun Xinyan and the severely injured out of the battlefield. The most update n0vels are published on NoveI(F)ire.net

Now, facing the mighty Elder Xi Feng were only the martial artists who could still fight!

Tian Qi’s Vacuum Qi Force blocked Elder Xi Feng’s attack, which had some positive effects, and all the Annihilation Squad martial artists were impressed by the strength of this new Commander!

"Commander, you’re truly astonishing. Your strength has reached a level that can rival the elders!"

"Indeed! It seems we didn’t follow the wrong person. With your strength, how could you decline just now?"

"It’s our great fortune to fight under your leadership, Commander!"

"As expected of the Commander, even in front of you, an elder of the Black Hole Clan is nothing!"

The martial artists’ words of praise were relentless, making Tian Qi somewhat uneasy. She waved her hand and hurriedly said, "Everyone, since we are comrades, let’s not talk about flattery!"

With those words, the martial artists of the Annihilation Squad quieted down...

In the eyes of the martial artists of the Annihilation Squad, the strength of the thirteen guards was indeed formidable, but compared to the elders and even the personal guards of the Black Hole Clan, they were not even worthy to carry their shoes.

Therefore, their expectations of Tian Qi’s strength were originally not high, believing she was only slightly stronger than the martial artists of the Annihilation Squad and that she couldn’t match the previous Commanders: Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, Vermilion Bird, and Xuan Wu...

However, they underestimated Tian Qi’s strength. Since her severe injuries from battling Dong Mei, she had been recovering and training for years in a different space where time was static. In the end, she also consumed a Carefree Pill that could enhance her strength.

With such progress, Tian Qi’s strength now stood at the peak among the thirteen guards, almost comparable to Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, Vermilion Bird, and Xuan Wu...

"Commander... Tian Qi..."

When Elder Xi Feng heard the warriors of the Annihilation Squad addressing Tian Qi as Commander, his anger flared uncontrollably.

After the Annihilation Squad betrayed the Black Hole Clan, they had the audacity to quickly forget their roots and elect Tian Qi, the Black Hole Clan’s number one traitor, as their new commander...

This is intolerable, absolutely intolerable!

Elder Xi Feng gritted his teeth in fury, and at this moment, he decided to temporarily ignore Ye Tian and directly made a move towards Tian Qi!

"Tian Qi, let’s see if you’re destined to be this ’commander’?"

Elder Xi Feng shouted, his Palm Force carrying a chilling cold as it swiftly advanced towards Tian Qi.

Tian Qi, still recovering from her injuries, had already expended a significant amount of strength defending against Elder Xi Feng’s cold, and therefore had no means to counter this strike!

Fortunately, someone stood in front of her!

The sound was clear and crisp, and the person blocking Elder Xi Feng’s attack was none other than Ye Tian.

Ye Tian’s hand intertwined with Elder Xi Feng’s, their forces clashing continuously, neither willing to give in...

"You... how could you..."

Elder Xi Feng was astonished. He had believed that Ye Tian, injured from his battle with Elder Nan Feng, wouldn’t have the strength to fight.

Yet from Ye Tian’s hand, endless strength erupted, rendering the mighty Elder Xi Feng unable to bring him down.

Not only could he match Xi Feng’s force, but his cold aura couldn’t freeze Ye Tian. What power was he using?

"Heh heh heh... Elder Xi Feng, my power is very warm, so why don’t you experience the sunshine and rain?"

Ye Tian responded playfully to Elder Xi Feng, his demeanor infuriating the elder!

"How dare you! Ye Tian, how dare you belittle me!"

Elder Xi Feng shouted, his internal strength surging, abandoning any tentative attacks and unleashing a fierce assault towards Ye Tian.

Knowing Elder Xi Feng’s attack was fierce, Ye Tian naturally couldn’t meet it head-on, so he swiftly withdrew his hand and lightly stepped back.

However, despite his rapid retreat, Elder Xi Feng’s cold still injured Ye Tian. His entire right hand was encased in ice, and he immediately channeled all his strength to resist Xi Feng’s chill. Soon, the ice on his right hand finally melted...

"Ye Tian, how could your injuries heal so quickly?"

Though Elder Xi Feng held the advantage, he dared not attack recklessly, instead choosing to question Ye Tian.

But Ye Tian ignored him, turning his gaze in another direction, where the disciples Daichong sent had just returned.

Ye Tian immediately addressed Daichong and Tian Qi, saying, "Daichong, Qiqi, the urgent matter at hand is to quickly evacuate and transfer the ordinary citizens. We’ll use the method we discussed earlier, sending out our brothers to move the innocent citizens out. Remember, not one should be left behind!"

The situation was urgent, so Daichong and Tian Qi had no time to think and simply nodded.

"Don’t worry, Ye Tian, I’ll send the most dependable brothers!"

"That’s right! This time, we must ensure the elders get nothing from their efforts!"

With that, the two immediately began making arrangements.

Among the participants of the Annihilation Squad were naturally numbers 38, 54, 75, and so on... and among the disciples of Tianmen were the ones sent out previously...

Neither the Annihilation Squad’s warriors nor Tianmen’s disciples had worked together before, but the situation demanded urgency, leaving no time for practicing coordinated efforts. Thus, several warriors involved in aiding the citizens of the Southern City left the battlefield after receiving their orders.

Elder Xi Feng did not stop these warriors, merely casting a cold glance at Ye Tian, saying, "How amusing, attempting to evacuate the citizens of the Southern City. Now that the entire city is under lockdown, how could I possibly let even a fly escape? You are all our food, and losing even one would be troubling!"

Ye Tian merely smiled slightly, saying, "Whether the citizens can be evacuated isn’t for you to decide, Elder Xi Feng. No matter how strong you are, you can’t defeat the power of people’s hearts! You go against the heart, and you will be abandoned by all sooner or later!"

"Abandoned? Do you really think you can escape?" Elder Xi Feng’s expression was icy, not seeming to take Ye Tian seriously at all. "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting. Now that the Southern City is under lockdown, the entire city is enveloped in a barrier unique to the Black Hole Clan. Escape is impossible, whether by air or underground.

So, your only method of transferring ordinary citizens away from the Southern City is through the Different Space passage in the Underground City of the Southern City. I suppose the Annihilation Squad informed you of this method after their betrayal, but unfortunately for you, in my presence, your scheme has no chance of success!"

With that, Elder Xi Feng pulled out an item from his person. Everyone looked closely and saw that it was a golden key, emitting shimmering light — clearly no ordinary item.
