Chapter 162 Ambush
Just as Ye Xiaobai and his group had settled down in the woods, several dusty-looking cultivators appeared where they had been.
The middle-aged cultivator at the head of the group didn't look very old, but his hair was already white, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of Core Formation. The others were also Core Formation cultivators.
There were only two Core Formation stage cultivators on Ye Xiaobai's side, and a tense atmosphere immediately filled the three of them.
Upon seeing this group of uninvited guests, Liu Rumei immediately became more curious about Ye Xiaobai's ability to sense things in advance.
"They might not even be looking for us, so there's no need to hide, is there?" Liu Rumei said softly.
"They came on strong and don't look like easy targets. It's safer for us to stay hidden," Ye Xiaobai said nervously.
"I think Ye Xiaobai is a coward!" Liu Rumei mocked directly.
"What are you talking about? This is called being low-key!" Ye Xiaobai retorted. Then he turned to Sun Siyu and asked, "Fairy Sun, this area is already within the territory of Yue Kingdom. Do you recognize these cultivators?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Siyu carefully observed the group of people not far away, and then said uncertainly, "I don't really recognize these cultivators, but the white-haired cultivator in the lead seems to be the White-Haired Old Demon from Yue Kingdom."
"The White-Haired Demon?" Ye Xiaobai was naturally unfamiliar with the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom, so he immediately inquired about the relevant situation.
"The White-Haired Demon, whose real name is Han Yishi, was originally a disciple of a cultivation family in the Yue Kingdom. Later, his family was wiped out by evil cultivators, and only Han Yishi survived! As a result, his hair turned white overnight!"
"Later, I don't know what kind of opportunity Han Yishi obtained, but within three years, his cultivation level directly increased from the Qi Refining stage to the Core Formation stage. In the end, he also successfully killed the evil cultivator and avenged the extermination of his clan!"
Sun Siyu slowly and deliberately introduced the situation of the White-Haired Old Demon.
"And then?" Ye Xiaobai knew the matter was far from over, so he pressed on.
"Later, the disciples of Qingxia Sect discovered that the White-Haired Demon was harming cultivators to practice demonic arts, thus becoming a demonic cultivator feared throughout the Yue Kingdom!" Sun Siyu added.
At this point, a hint of fear appeared in Sun Siyu's bright eyes. Her brows furrowed, and she bit her lower lip hard a few more times.
Seeing this, Liu Rumei immediately said, "Since this demonic cultivator is so brutal, this fairy is just right to rid the cultivation world of this great scourge!"
As they spoke, they prepared to get up and fight.
Upon seeing this, Sun Siyu immediately stopped them and advised, "Sister Rumei, don't be impulsive. The other side has extremely high cultivation and there are many of them. We must not act rashly!"
"Yes, it would be troublesome if we fell into someone's trap!" Ye Xiaobai also advised.
"Alright, since you both say so, I'll let him off this time. If we meet again, I definitely won't let him get away with it!" Liu Rumei saw that both of them were trying to persuade her, so she stopped insisting.
At this moment, Han Yishi and the others had been lingering not far away for a long time, as if they were looking for something.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xiaobai immediately sensed something was wrong and considered secretly moving to a more distant place.
Just then, Han Yishi shouted loudly in the direction of Ye Xiaobai and the others, "Fellow Daoist, no need to hide anymore, I have already found you!"
"What should we do? They've found us!" Sun Siyu asked anxiously from the side.
"Let's go up there and teach them a lesson!" Liu Rumei said confidently.
"Don't rush, wait a bit and see if they've really discovered us!" Ye Xiaobai suggested, trying his best to avoid fighting the other side.
Upon hearing this, Sun Siyu and Liu Rumei also prepared to immediately hold back their actions.
Seeing that Ye Xiaobai and the others were still hiding there without reacting, Han Yishi, who was not far away, released a huge fireball that flew directly towards the location of Ye Xiaobai and the others.
Ye Xiaobai realized at this moment that they had been discovered and there was no possibility of continuing to hide. He instantly flew up and dodged the attack range of the fireball.
"Fellow Daoist, why did you attack us?" Ye Xiaobai wanted to find out whether Han Yishi's arrival was accidental or at someone's behest.
"You guys were hiding in the woods, acting suspiciously. You don't look like good people at all. It's no big deal to kill you!" Han Yishi said dismissively.
The fellow cultivators quickly advised, "Boss, killing the man is fine, but we must keep the two fairies alive!" After saying that, they didn't forget to give the two beautiful fairies a thorough beating.
Upon seeing this, Liu Rumei angrily rebuked, "Shameless scoundrel, take this!" With that, she took out a palm-sized circular magic weapon, the Ethereal Copper Ring, which instantly multiplied into hundreds of identical copper rings and flew towards Han Yishi and the others.
Upon seeing this, Han Yishi and the others quickly took out their magical weapons to defend against the copper ring's attack.
Ye Xiaobai and Sun Siyu knew that there was no way to avoid it and that they had no choice but to fight. So they rushed over to find a suitable opponent.
The opposing side consisted of six people. Apart from Han Yishi, who was at the late stage of Core Formation, there was another cultivator at the mid stage of Core Formation, and the remaining four were all cultivators at the early stage of Core Formation.
Ye Xiaobai could only let Liu Rumei fight Han Yishi first, while the rest were left to Ye Xiaobai and Sun Siyu.
"Fairy Sun, I'll leave that mid-stage Core Formation cultivator to you for now, and I'll handle the rest of the Core Formation cultivators!" Ye Xiaobai said directly to Sun Siyu.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, are you alright? There are still four early-stage Core Formation cultivators on the other side! You haven't even reached the Core Formation stage yet!" Sun Siyu asked with a worried expression.
"It's alright, I have help!" Ye Xiaobai said as he released a sixth-tier purple flame thunder leopard and four fifth-tier puppets.
Liu Rumei was immediately relieved. She had been worried that Ye Xiaobai didn't have any means of self-preservation, and that she would have to be distracted by protecting him during the battle. Now she could focus all her attention on fighting Han Yishi.
Sun Siyu was greatly shocked upon seeing the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard and the puppet, never expecting Ye Xiaobai to possess such methods. This further increased their chances of defeating a Core Formation stage cultivator.
Ye Xiaobai's cultivation level has not improved much recently, but his physical body has reached the first level of the Vajra Realm, which is a good opportunity to test his physical strength.
Ye Xiaobai charged directly at a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation. With the help of the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard's attack, he quickly moved to a very close distance and immediately released a red sword light that swept away the enemy.
The opponent was, after all, a Core Formation stage cultivator. He quickly blocked Ye Xiaobai's attack with a magic weapon, and then used a bell-shaped magic weapon to smash Ye Xiaobai. Ye Xiaobai ignored the opponent's attack and swung his longsword again. The red sword energy gathered into the shape of a giant dragon and rushed straight at the Core Formation stage cultivator.
"Dang! Dang!"
With two attacks, Ye Xiaobai and the Core Formation stage cultivator opposite him were attacked at the same time. Ye Xiaobai was knocked back dozens of feet before he could catch his breath. The other man was in a bad situation. His physical strength was not as good as Ye Xiaobai's. He could only rely on the talisman to defend himself and was directly injured and fell to the side.
The Purple Flame Thunder Leopard naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by, and instantly teleported to finish off the Core Formation stage cultivator.
Upon seeing this, Han Yishi frowned and quickly shouted to the others, "Quickly focus fire and take care of that kid!"
The others were also greatly surprised, not expecting this late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to be so powerful. Combined with the lightning-fast purple flame thunder leopard, he was truly difficult to deal with. From then on, they dared not underestimate him in the battle.
