Conquer the game world

Chapter 56 Attacked
The bald man was focusing all his attention on Ye Feng, preparing to make his move at the best opportunity.

Of the four, One-Eye and the other two did not have the same skill in throwing weapons as Baldy. One-Eye's original intention was simply to kill Ye Feng, while the other Miss Bei naturally avoided taking action if possible.

Therefore, this sneak attack was carried out by the bald man alone, in order to avoid alerting the enemy and to ensure a fatal blow.

"Alright," Ye Feng dug out the largest Purple Mother Lotus and was about to pull it up directly.

"Whoosh." Just then, the bald man made his move, throwing a knife that shot through the air at incredible speed toward Ye Feng's throat.

To ensure absolute safety, the throwing knife was not only coated with poison, but the bald man also aimed it at Ye Feng's throat. If it succeeded, even without the poison, Ye Feng would likely have a hard time surviving.

Baldy had been famous for his throwing knife skills for many years. Even martial artists of higher rank than him had been ambushed and killed by Baldy. Not to mention Ye Feng, who was just a martial artist who had just advanced to the Spirit Realm. Baldy seemed to have already seen Ye Feng's death.

"Hmm?" Ye Feng's extremely keen senses made him notice a sound of something cutting through the air. Instinctively, Ye Feng sensed something was wrong and subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The moment Ye Feng noticed, the flying knife arrived in front of him, almost slicing through his throat.

At this moment, Ye Feng's powerful reflexes allowed him to react instantly, almost instinctively. Ye Feng took a small step back, and the throwing knife grazed his throat.

"Not good." The moment Ye Feng dodged the flying knife, he sensed something was wrong. At that moment, Bei Linhan was standing to Ye Feng's side, and after Ye Feng dodged the flying knife, the knife flew in the direction of Bei Linhan.

Ye Feng wanted to stop it, but by then the distance between the flying knife and Ye Feng was too great, and it was too late for Ye Feng to make a move.

Ye Feng had no way to stop her, so he could only shout at Bei Linhan to "Get out of the way."

However, Ye Feng's shouts ultimately failed to change the outcome of the throwing knife piercing Bei Linhan. Bei Linhan did not react at all to the sudden sneak attack, and in the end, Ye Feng could only watch helplessly as the throwing knife pierced through Bei Linhan's shoulder.

"Ah!" After being stabbed by the throwing knife, Belin let out a painful scream.

"Damn it, which bastard ambushed me?" Seeing Bei Linhan being hit, Ye Feng felt a surge of anger. Through their recent interactions, Ye Feng had gradually developed feelings for Bei Linhan, and now that this had happened, he was extremely furious.

Looking in the direction from which the flying knife had come, Ye Feng was also secretly alarmed. He knew that this sneak attack was aimed at him. If he hadn't reacted quickly, Ye Feng, whose throat had been slashed, would probably be dead by now.

While guarding against a sneak attack, Ye Feng also came to Bei Linhan's side to check on her injuries.

"Are you alright?" The throwing knife had pierced Belin Han's shoulder, and the situation looked dire, but fortunately it hadn't hit any vital organs. Ye Feng thought to himself, "Wait, why is the throwing knife green? Could it be poisonous?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy. Be careful of Ye Feng. If things get really bad, don't worry about me." Despite the situation, Bei Linhan was still able to remain calm and warned Ye Feng to escape as soon as possible.

"Impossible, I'm your henchman, how can I abandon my boss?" Ye Feng resolutely refused, and at the same time took out an antidote from his bag and said to Bei Linhan, "Drink this."

Taking the antidote from Ye Feng, Bei Linhan drank it without understanding what it was. Seeing Ye Feng standing in front of her, she felt much more at ease. "It's a promise, my henchmen aren't allowed to abandon me."

"Baldy, let's go. They're on guard now, so sneak attacks won't make much difference," One-Eyed said.

“But if we go out, we’ll be exposed, especially if the Bei family finds out,” the bald man said hesitantly.

"Hmph, even if we don't reveal our identities now, do you think the Bei family won't find out? The only way to settle things once and for all is to take care of Miss Bei and prevent the news from leaking out," the one-eyed man said viciously.

"Hmph, kid, you're lucky to be alive after all this." The four one-eyed men stopped hiding and appeared in front of Ye Feng.

"Did you do this?" Ye Feng said calmly, looking at the four of them. "All four of you must die."

"Damn it, kid, who do you think you are? I'm scared." The bald man laughed smugly. "I'll kill you in a bit, then let's see how you talk back."

"One-Eyed, Baldy, how dare you lay a hand on my men? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Bei family?" Bei Linhan clearly recognized the bald man and the one-eyed man, and said to them.

"Miss Bei, we're sorry, we're really scared, but since things have come to this, for the sake of secrecy, we have no choice but to take your life." One-Eyed didn't mince words, directly stating his intention to kill Bei Linhan as well. After all, in One-Eyed's view, Bei Linhan had already lost her fighting ability, and the four of them should be more than enough to deal with Ye Feng. Ye Feng's side had two agile martial artists, and one of them had also lost most of his fighting ability.

On the one-eyed side, Ye Feng also observed very clearly that all four of them were agile martial artists, two at the fourth level of agile martial arts and two at the fifth level of agile martial arts. Not only were their levels higher than Ye Feng and Bei Linhan, but they also had a complete advantage in terms of numbers.

"You lot are all dead!" Ye Feng roared at the four men, his entire being brimming with fighting spirit.

"Prepare to run away." Ye Feng whispered to Bei Linhan. Comparing the combat strength of the two sides, even if Ye Feng was confident that he could fight the group without being at a disadvantage, he would definitely not be able to take care of the injured Bei Linhan during the battle.

"Drink!" The one-eyed men and the others wereted no more time and charged towards Ye Feng with a loud shout.

"Run!" Belinhan and Ye Feng turned and ran decisively. At the same time, Ye Feng raised his hand and cast a fireball spell at the one-eyed man. Of course, Ye Feng didn't expect this basic spell to pose any threat to the one-eyed man.

"Run into the Monster Forest!" Ye Feng shouted to Bei Linhan. Although the fireball spell posed no threat, it bought Ye Feng a little precious time. The two knew that their path was blocked and their only chance was to go deeper into the Monster Forest.

"Hurry and chase them! We can't let them go too deep, or we'll be in trouble." One-Eyed and the others didn't expect Ye Feng, who had been full of fighting spirit just now, to run away so suddenly. They didn't react in time, and the distance between the two sides widened again.

Without time to hesitate, One-Eye and the others could only hurry to follow. Everyone knew that the Monster Forest was dangerous, and One-Eye dared not let Ye Feng escape too deep, otherwise they would all die if they were targeted by some powerful monster.

"Come here, I'll carry you." The injured Belinhan was too slow, and the One-Eyed and the others were about to catch up.

There was no time to think too much at this moment. Ye Feng carried Bei Linhan on his back, and at the same time, a pair of wings appeared on his back. Ye Feng used flight techniques to escape.

Generally speaking, when a martial artist uses the levitation technique, their straight-line movement speed is actually slower than when running on the ground. This is a consensus among everyone. Of course, this speed is relative, and each martial artist's levitation speed is different. However, the speed of using the levitation technique is definitely not as fast as the speed of running. This is an unchanging law. Therefore, the levitation technique is generally used in places with complex terrain.

Ye Feng's flying technique is different from his levitation technique. The flying technique is faster than the levitation technique and also faster than Ye Feng's running speed. However, when using this skill, wings will appear on his back, which is a bit amazing, so Ye Feng usually does not use it.

Of course, Ye Feng, who uses flight techniques, wouldn't dare to choose to escape by flying at high altitudes. Flying at high altitudes in the Monster Forest is not a wise choice. He only chose to use flight to increase his escape speed.

However, Ye Feng's speed was greatly limited because he was with Bei Linhan. At the same time, in order to avoid possible flying knife attacks, Ye Feng also constantly used the trees in the Monster Forest for cover and tried not to walk in a straight line.

"Damn it, I can't catch up. How can this guy be so fast?" One-Eyed said viciously. "Baldy, how about it? Will the throwing knife attack work?"

"No good, this kid's on guard now, constantly changing position, making him hard to hit," the bald man said helplessly. "One-Eyed, we're already deep in the Monster Forest, should we continue chasing?"

"Chase them! Why shouldn't we chase them? We can't let these two get away, or we'll be in big trouble," One-Eyed said decisively.

From One-Eyed's perspective, Ye Feng's flight must be very taxing, and he certainly wouldn't be able to sustain it for long. As long as they keep chasing, they'll definitely catch up with Ye Feng.

Indeed, this was the case. Ye Feng's use of flight techniques consumed a great deal of his stamina. However, Ye Feng had stamina potions. After drinking a bottle of stamina potion, he could continue flying instantly. So, back and forth, although the distance between the two sides did not increase, the four one-eyed people could never catch up with Ye Feng in front.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Feng and his companions had ventured deep into the Forest of Demonic Beasts. At this moment, they faintly heard the roars of demonic beasts, which secretly alarmed them.

After some time, the trees gradually thinned out, and soon after, Ye Feng and his companions left the forest area, where there were no more dense trees around.

However, what appeared before Ye Feng was a cliff. Of course, the cliff did not pose much of a challenge for Ye Feng who was flying. The problem was that a large number of magical beasts were flying at low altitudes near the cliff.

Choosing to continue towards the cliff was clearly suicidal, so Ye Feng had no choice but to retreat to the edge of the forest to prevent these low-flying magical beasts from discovering him.

Just then, the one-eyed group and others caught up and saw the situation.

"Those are Lightning Purple Eagles." One-Eyed and the others also took a deep breath. If so many Lightning Purple Eagles were discovered, none of them would survive. Fortunately, they were still in the forest, where the trees were dense and they should not be discovered for the time being.

"Kid, run! Go ahead and run!" One-Eye said to Ye Feng. Although the Lightning Purple Eagle in front of him was terrifying, as long as he killed the kid in front of him and quietly returned the way he came, he wouldn't be in much danger. One-Eye thought to himself.
