The Four Great Martial Emperors, along with Matsumoto, step by step, heavily approached to surround Ye Fan!


    Although everyone really wanted to kill Ye Fan, they all understood that, no matter what, Ye Fan was now a Martial Emperor level fighter.


    If they pushed Ye Fan into a corner, his final struggle could potentially take someone down with him.


    So everyone was very careful!


    "Ye Fan, you never expected this day to come, huh! Damn it!" Matsumoto was the most infuriated, as today''s ambush was entirely meant to target Yu Linglong, and now it had almost led to his total annihilation, with him being crippled by Ye Fan!


    If he didn''t kill Ye Fan, Matsumoto would not die in peace!


    "Haha! To slay Great Xia''s number one monstrous talent is to sever the nation''s fate... Commander Zhou, you''ve made a great achievement! No matter the cost we pay today, it''s all worth it!" Elder Xiao Quan also laughed wildly!


    At this moment, the situation was such that the Four Great Martial Emperors were besieging Ye Fan alone!


    Ye Fan had already faced so many attacks before, and the constant battles had nearly depleted him.


    Under such circumstances, even if a Great Luo Immortal came, they might not be able to save Ye Fan, right?


    ...


    By Ye Fan''s side, the Four Great Maids protected Ye Fan and Yu Linglong in the middle, their faces full of apprehension as they watched the current situation.


    "Young Master, you and Commander Yu should leave first, we''ll hold them off for you, quickly go and join up with Commander Gu Feng!"


    "Exactly! Even if we die, we must delay them for a moment!" The trusted aides of Yu Linglong also spoke up from the side.


    Ye Fan shook his head faintly, "It''s useless! They are Martial Emperor experts, you simply can''t hold them off!"


    At this time, Ye Fan was quietly operating his cultivation technique, absorbing the remnants of the Undying Bone''s power within his veins, swiftly recovering his own energy.


    In just tens of seconds, Ye Fan had already recovered fifty percent of his strength.


    Delay!


    Now the only option was to delay until Elder Gu Feng arrived with reinforcements!


    Or wait until his strength recovered once more, perhaps then he''d have the power to fight again!


    ...


    However, Ye Fan knew that Gu Feng was already approaching, and naturally, Zhou Yao knew as well!


    Although Zhou Yao had made full preparations today, having mobilized nearly all martial arts experts of the Blood Demon Sect to set up this ambush in preparation for the attack on the elites of Xuanwu,


    Yu Qiang was panicked!


    Yu Qiang, leading the strongest members of the Assassins Hall of Tianji Pavilion to protect the Pavilion Master, now found the Pavilion Master in trouble; if Chief Steward Pang Hai knew about this, he''d probably strangle him, right?


    ...


    In the canyon, Matsumoto and Xiao Quan, Zhou Yao, as well as the Leader Nanba from the Blood Demon Sect, circled the huge pit several times.


    They had confirmed over and over again that there were no signs of Ye Fan and Yu Linglong or others'' presence inside.


    "Young Master Zhou, it seems your Great Xia''s monstrous talent is nothing after all! Such an easy strike took him down? Why did we even bother with all these tactics?" Leader Nanba shook his head with some disdain, "I thought we were in for a big battle today!"


    However, Matsumoto''s brow was furrowed, anxiety evident on his face, "Young Master Zhou, Leader Nanba, don''t be careless... This Ye Fan is a bit strange, let''s take a closer look..."


    Matsumoto, too, had attacked Yu Linglong alongside the two Martial Venerables, and as a result, Ye Fan used the Change of Seasons technique to somehow shift Yu Linglong away.


    Now, Matsumoto was the one panicking!


    While reminding everyone with his mouth, Matsumoto turned his head and began to look around!


    When Matsumoto''s eyes crossed a bush, his pupils suddenly dilated, "They''re not dead after all... Quick, they''re over there... Hurry, Commander Zhou, don''t give them a chance to react, continue the attack..."


    Matsumoto''s voice was full of terror and urgency!


    On the other side of the bush, it was indeed Ye Fan and Yu Linglong, as well as the Four Great Maids, and a few of Yu Linglong''s personal guards!


    Just now, at the moment Zhou Yao and the others acted, Ye Fan used the little bit of Qi Energy he had just recuperated to execute the Change of Seasons Martial Arts Technique one more time. In the final moments, he had shifted Yu Linglong, the Four Great Maids, and several personal guards out of the area.


    However, due to Ye Fan''s weakened state, of Yu Linglong''s five personal guards, Ye Fan was only able to save four!


    The smell of blood in the air just now was from that guard of Yu Linglong being shattered by the blast!


    Yet, because of Ye Fan''s severe overexertion, after moving everyone out, he immediately passed out and lay in the arms of Maid Nan Sheng!


    Huh?


    Hearing Matsumoto''s rebuke, Zhou Yao turned his head towards the bush, and seeing that Ye Fan and Yu Linglong had quietly escaped from the encirclement of the Four Great Martial Lords, he was astounded too!


    At the same time, a chill ran through his heart... This monster, too horrifying, he still wasn''t dead!


    If they let him continue to grow, what would happen in the future?


    This won''t do!


    Ye Fan must be killed!


    "Continue!" Zhou Yao signaled Nanba and Elder Xiao Quan among others to join him as they charged towards Ye Fan once again...
