Chapter 998: 0998 Scheming! (Chapter 1)

Tang Hai and Elder Tang Yun felt the presence of their own being locked onto and realized that Ye Qiu was now chasing them.

The most infuriating thing was that those twenty-some mythical warriors were also following.

"Damn it, does this brat want to drag us down too?" Elder Tang Yun gritted his teeth and said.

Feeling the cold and terrifying aura of the twenty-some mythical warriors, far scarier than Ye Qiu, he and Elder Tang Hai couldn’t withstand even a few breaths in front of them.

"He must have recognized us," Elder Tang Hai said.

Unable to do anything about being chased by Ye Qiu, who could have predicted that over twenty mythical warriors would suddenly emerge from the safe passage.

Swish, swish, swish...

The two sped forward, striving to reach the passage exit quickly. Ye Qiu utilized the power of the wind and the distance between him and the two ahead shortened.

Behind them, the black-clad mythical martial artists relentlessly pursued them. As long as the three remained within the safe passage, they would surely be hunted down.

Soon, Ye Qiu was right behind Elders Tang Hai and Tang Yun, less than ten meters away.

"Hmph, die!" Tang Yun couldn’t hold back and attacked Ye Qiu, wasting no words, turning around with a strike.

Instantly, a powerful attack came with a scorching aura. If hit, it wouldn’t be pleasant.

Ye Qiu swayed side to side and slightly dodged it.

Having missed the first strike, Tang Yun attacked again, simultaneously urging Tang Hai to also strike, preventing Ye Qiu from catching up. Ideally, they hoped Ye Qiu would retreat, allowing the black-clad mythical warriors to catch up and attack first.

Boom, boom!

The already narrow passage was filled with attacks, leaving Ye Qiu with nowhere to escape but retreat.

Feeling the powerful aura behind him, Ye Qiu gritted his teeth in the end and charged into the attacks. If caught by those men, escape would be impossible.

Ye Qiu sensed the aura of death from these people, their bodies reeked of blood; who knows how many they had killed.

He couldn’t understand which ancient tribe these mythical warriors belonged to, for over twenty of them to gather and conduct ambushes on those entering the Barbaric Wilderness Forest.

Generally, ancient tribes wouldn’t have the courage, right?

Could it be the three major ancient tribes?

While moving, Ye Qiu suddenly thought of a possibility, yet why would the three major ancient tribes do this? With their power, they could easily send their own strong people into the Barbaric Wilderness Forest to claim what they desire, rather than resorting to banditry.

No, something hasn’t occurred to him.

Ye Qiu suddenly felt things weren’t so simple. Organizing over twenty mythical warriors wasn’t a trivial force; someone must be orchestrating from behind the scenes.

Ye Qiu smelled the scent of intrigue.

Whoosh.

Ye Qiu’s body flashed, and the attack from behind missed. With lingering fear, Ye Qiu glanced back and saw the black-clad man at the front attacking.

"Thinking about these things now is useless. Better focus on escaping this situation first," Ye Qiu didn’t have much time for contemplation, urgently needing to rid himself of the current predicament.

Tang Hai and Tang Yun occasionally turned to strike, Ye Qiu constantly alert; the twenty-some behind weren’t kind either, all targeting Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu’s situation now was quite dire, facing assaults from both front and rear.

Yet he had nowhere to hide.

At this rate, they’ll eventually catch up with him, leading to an imminent life-and-death battle.

One against twenty?

Ye Qiu’s head throbbed; he truly didn’t want to face such strong adversaries alone.

After all, they were all at the same level, and many were one or two levels above him. Even for Ye Qiu, it was hard to be outnumbered.

Ye Qiu steeled his resolve and made up his mind to ignore any attacks from Tang Hai and Tang Yun ahead, and charge swiftly towards them.

He intended to drag them into the mess as well.

This scene was clear to Tang Hai and Tang Yun; Ye Qiu desperately charged through the attacks to close in on them.

"I don’t believe we can’t severely injure him," Tang Yun continuously unleashed attacks toward Ye Qiu as he came crashing forth.

"Die!"

"Die!" Elder Tang Hai didn’t idle either, attacking alongside.

Ye Qiu didn’t dodge or evade; he charged directly forward. Even facing a hail of knives and flames, he didn’t flinch, recklessly barreling through.

Bang, bang, bang.

Explosions echoed around Ye Qiu. Elders Tang Hai and Tang Yun smiled, as their combined attack evidently landed, displaying notable power.

However, soon their smiles froze. Ye Qiu emerged from the attack unscathed, only his garments were severely damaged, looking very bedraggled yet not in any real danger.

"How is this possible? He shouldn’t be completely unharmed, is he made of iron?" Tang Yun said unwilling to believe.

"Look at the armor he’s wearing, it must be special," Elder Tang Hai pointed at Ye Qiu’s outfit, a shining soft armor emitting a white glow, clearly extraordinary.

A treasure.

Elder Tang Yun realized Ye Qiu’s untouched state must relate to the soft armor he wore.

"This brat’s full of treasures; aside from the ice fruit and his storage pouch, he’s now wearing such a magical outfit, wealthier than us strong ones," Tang Yun said.

Elder Tang Hai’s eyes gleamed: "Once we’re rid of him, all his treasures are ours. Perhaps now is just the opportunity."

Elder Tang Yun considered it, indeed, if Ye Qiu were caught by the black-clad men, maybe it would be possible.

But there was another worry; if Ye Qiu perished at the hands of the black-clad men, the treasure might first fall into their hands.

No, that would mean a big loss.

Letting them blatantly take away treasures from a treasure mountain.

Elder Tang Yun quickly thought it over then decisively said: "We mustn’t let him fall entirely into the black-clad men’s hands or it’ll all come to nothing."

"What do you mean?" Elder Tang Hai said slightly.

"When he’s depleted during the battle with the black-clad men, we’ll seize him, then we can take his treasures," Tang Yun proposed.

"What about now?"

"Now, we stop him entirely, let him fight the black-clad men. With his skill, he won’t be eliminated instantly; he should handle a few but can’t take them all down. We await until he’s exhausted, then we’ll benefit like those who catch a praying mantis hunting a cicada, while being the snipe unaware of the fisherman behind," Elder Tang Yun explained.

Tang Hai’s gaze flashed, finding it viable. Immediately, the two grinned coldly, instead of proceeding swiftly, they turned and frantically attacked Ye Qiu, determined to hold him back for the black-clad men to catch up.

They attacked in turns, exerting full force, genuinely managing to delay Ye Qiu. Soon, the two saw the black-clad men arriving behind Ye Qiu, exchanging glances, feeling it was time to continue their escape, letting Ye Qiu battle with those foes to the death.
