"You are quite alert!"
The voice was deep,
carrying an unprecedented chill.
It seemed to have a taunting air to it as well.
"Who exactly are you? Show yourself immediately, stop skulking in the shadows!"
Ye Feng looked around,
his tone very cold as he called out.
In fact, he had sensed someone watching him as soon as he entered the forest.
At the time, he hadn't paid it much mind,
thinking it might just be other powerful hunters stalking soul beasts on the perimeter for their juniors,
watching over them and hence keeping an eye on him in case he stumbled into their area of patrol.
Such a vast forest naturally wouldn't have only Ye Feng in it, would it?
However, he just now realized things weren't that simple.
Why is that?
Because that gaze had followed him all the way to the central region.
The central region generally had soul beasts over ten thousand years old.
If it was merely oversight for a family's junior, there was no need to lock divine consciousness onto him from such a distance.
Therefore, Ye Feng concluded he was being followed!
But who was this person? Why were they only following him and not revealing themselves even now?
He had considered the possibility of Du Gubo;
after all, the man's medicinal garden was around here!
But after some thought, there was no reason Du Gubo needed to track him.
Dugu Yan hadn't even returned to Tiandou City yet, so Du Gubo couldn't possibly know about his affairs!
It was only possible if the other party knew and was interested in him that they might follow behind.
"Since you're so keen to see me, I might as well make an appearance."
A breeze blew past.
And there stood a man in a cloak in front of Ye Feng!
"Haotian Senior?"
Ye Feng inwardly cursed his luck!
It was Tang Hao!!
At this time, him being here clearly posed a big problem!
It was even possible that he'd come to silence him by killing!
This was big trouble!!
"Heh, Xiaofeng, we meet again. I didn't expect that in less than a week since our last encounter, you've already advanced to level 50,"
Tang Hao turned his head to look at Ye Feng.
His words were calm,
and even his expression was devoid of any fluctuation.
But Ye Feng sensed a killing intent like never before!!
The visitor meant no good!
"I was lucky to have advanced a bit faster. Might Haotian Senior have any advice for me this time?"
Ye Feng's face wore a modest expression as he spoke.
But inside, he was running through over a dozen escape plans!
Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo,
and one who dared to clash head-on with the Pontiff of Spirit Hall.
How could he possibly escape from him??
This was an epic-level difficulty!!
"Actually, I still want you to be friends with Xiaosan. Coming from the same village, there's no need to be at odds like this, is there?"
Tang Hao looked at Ye Feng.
"Well, the conflict between us isn't unsolvable, but Haotian Senior, these things take time,"
Ye Feng spoke to Tang Hao.
Right now, it was crucial to stay alive!
He'd agree to whatever Tang Hao said!
"You don't have time left."
Tang Hao stared at Ye Feng,
exuding an unprecedented pressure.
With his previous experience, Tang Hao wouldn't be caught off guard this time.
"Alright, alright, if a Titled Douluo speaks like this, then I give in. I promise you, from now on, we are friends!"
Ye Feng answered.
Mainly because Tang Hao's murderous glare was completely different this time.
Ye Feng didn't dare take things too far.
He'd agree for now.
As for friends? Out of the question!!
"Very good, the wise adapt to circumstances. From now on, I want you to assist my son in the name of friendship, following by his side!"
Tang Hao spoke again!
Since he, as a father, didn't have the time to look after him.
It was true that Grandmaster would be unable to help in the latter stages.
This Ye Feng was the best choice at hand.
"Fine!!"
Ye Feng nodded his agreement!
After all, it was akin to having a knife held to his throat, leaving Ye Feng with no choice but to extricate himself first and talk later.
But Tang Hao sure was dreaming beautifully!!
To think he wanted Ye Feng to be the Tang family's brick mover, assisting Tang San in his growth! Dream on!
Don't let him discover the location of the Bluesilver Emperor!
Otherwise, Ye Feng, you'd be assisting your wife's growth!!
"Your intelligence has saved your life, swear by your Martial Soul!"
Tang Hao looked at Ye Feng.
He had originally planned to eliminate Ye Feng tonight.
If he couldn't become his son's friend, then he absolutely couldn't let him become his son's enemy!
A father has to remove all obstacles for his son!!
That was what Tang Hao had to do now!
"Swear by my Martial Soul? Haotian Senior, are you sure you want to make it so solemn?"
At that moment, Ye Feng watched Tang Hao.
Swearing by the Martial Soul, what a joke.
Once the oath was taken, he would truly become a slave to the Tang family!
"You refuse? Could it be that you were just deceiving me a moment ago?"
Almost instantly, Tang Hao's tone became several times colder!
He stared straight at Ye Feng!
"This, this of course I don't want to! Get lost, give me a break!!"
Ye Feng directly unleashed his second Martial Soul!
It was a small red insect!
"Heh, mere insect tricks, since you seek death, I shall oblige!"
At that moment, Tang Hao's palm moved slightly, wrapping a beam of soul force around Ye Feng's Lìkōng Bào!
"Boom——"
The sound was intense.
But not the slightest damage was done.
Because Tang Hao had enveloped it with soul force.
"Soul bone, Gale-force Rush!!"
Ye Feng quickly utilized his soul bone skill!
He desperately ran towards the deepest parts of Sunset Forest.
This Tang Hao had absolutely no honor in martial arts!
He was actually bullying a fourteen-year-old child!!
"Run? Heh, you won't escape!"
Tang Hao watched Ye Feng disappear into the distance.
Instantly, his speed increased several fold.
He directly pursued in the direction of Ye Feng.
As a Titled Douluo, killing a Soul Ancestor was as easy as squashing an ant!
He didn't even summon his own Martial Soul!
"Well, aren't you fast!!"
Ye Feng was gasping for breath!
Tang Hao's speed was far faster than he could have imagined, by many multiples!
Even though he had a speed-enhancing leg-type soul bone, he was still about to be caught up to by Tang Hao!
Should he use the Endure for One Minute Pill??
But the effect of that thing only lasted for a minute.
He had no confidence that he could defeat Tang Hao.
If he could manage a stalemate, he would be extremely grateful!
The problem now was, what would he do once the effect of the pill wore off if the fight ended in a draw??
"Shoo!!"
An attack from Tang Hao struck towards him!!
Ye Feng accelerated!!
It was as if he exerted all the strength he could muster!!
Finally, he dodged the first attack.
But avoiding the first attack did not mean he was safe!
Because Tang Hao had already reached his side!
Those eyes, filled with Killing Intent, stared straight at him!
It was as if he would tear him to pieces the next second!!
