Chapter 838 - 838 289 Battle 2 in 1_2

Chapter 838: Chapter 289 Battle [2 in 1]_2 Chapter 838: Chapter 289 Battle [2 in 1]_2 Although this conspiracy theory seems a bit exaggerated, Feng Yin felt it wasn’t entirely impossible.

After all, the one who’s most anxious to preserve itself right now seems to be the Illusory Silkworm.

He had no entanglement with others; this time, entering the secret realm of the Three Realms Trade Fair, he was just getting a rough idea.

He hadn’t made much of an appearance.

But as to what exactly the situation was, Feng Yin had no certainty in his heart.

Feng Yin found it hard to make a definitive judgement and genuinely couldn’t guess their real motive, but he was certain that there were peculiar aspects involved.

And now the swords had been drawn on both sides.

It was an open conflict, the great battle had begun, and both he and Dong Xiaoyan had become a burden, urgently thinking of ways to respond!

A battle of this level was certainly not something he and Dong Xiaoyan could participate in with their current combat strength.

Dong Xiaoyan, who had also been through numerous battles, did not overestimate her ability and force herself into the fight, but instead, taking Feng Yin with her, approached a nearby rock formation.

It must be said, Dong Xiaoyan, despite being called a simpleton, was anything but when facing the enemy. The location she chose was very strategic, with a mountain wall behind them and a cliff to the right, leaving only the front and left to deal with—truly a position that was easy to defend and hard to attack.

The two of them took up positions to the left and right, prepared for battle.

The Ice Phoenix, who had been enlightened by Feng Yin several times and had consumed countless delicacies, quietly transformed into ice and snow, blending into the snow wall above and slowly transforming the vicinity into an icy, snowy realm.

Feng Ying naturally stayed still in front of Feng Yin’s chest, calmly gathering his strength, ready to unleash his power at a moment’s notice, always prepared to strike like thunder.

And the little snake had slipped out from the bottom of Feng Yin’s trousers, merging with the underground ice and snow in a manner that gods and spirits would not notice, hiding away in who knows where.

Well, perhaps due to the company of the Ice Phoenix for a while, both Feng Ying and the little snake’s resistance to ice had greatly increased. They were now completely unaffected by the extreme cold and snow.

Especially the little snake, a creature by nature averse to cold and which usually hibernates during winter, had, after numerous enlightenments and long association with the Ice Phoenix, grown accustomed to the harsh icy environment and found its own joy in it.

In the blink of an eye, the two masters and three pets had everything in place.

The two of them didn’t communicate at all, but had already set up their positions for both heaven and earth, a tacit understanding that could be seen as naturally formed.

Feng Ying’s tails swept lazily across Feng Yin’s chest, seemingly too lazy even to open her eyes.

But what she was sweeping were eight tails, and the manifestation of all eight indicated that Feng Ying was ready to display her ultimate combat power. Among them, a brand-new tail tip also inadvertently peeked out a little.

And between the pads of her feet, sharp claws would flash brightly from time to time.

Now, if we were to only talk about combat strength, killing power, and the damage they could inflict on the enemy, Feng Ying was indeed surpassing both Feng Yin and Dong Xiaoyan.

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and Peng Wanli had already arrived in front of Feng Yin and the other, saying solemnly, “Don’t lose your composure. I suspect there is another wave of ambush lying in wait behind them. As soon as you stray too far from us, it won’t take much effort for those people to capture you.”

Feng Yin immediately asked, “Senior, what’s your level of confidence?”

Peng Wanli let out a cold laugh, brimming with deadly aura, and said, “How many years has it been? I have never been so underestimated. Even though I’m severely injured and unable to exert three-tenths of my usual strength in a normal fight, if I fought desperately, prepared to further damage my foundation, taking these ignorant fools on the road with me would only be a trivial matter!”

Peng Wanli’s words were precisely what those Jinmian people were most worried about.

With their experienced insights, how could they fail to see that among their opponents, Peng Wanli’s true strength was the most terrifying?

What scared them the most was Peng Wanli fighting desperately, regardless of the consequences, in a deathmatch scenario.

And this was the main reason they hesitated to make a move.

To go up against a Peng Wanli with no reservations and fully committed to attack, it was not just a lack of confidence they faced, but a dance on the edge of a knife!

Based on their assessment, the strength of their five people was more than enough to entangle the Cat Emperor, with plenty to spare. But this old man, whose name and identity were unknown, proved to be a problem.

The key to this battle truly hung on this old man’s shoulders!

And to have things turn out like this in their task, the leading Jinmian person and his companions were entirely frustrated, their hearts and minds full of irritation.

If we really get down to it, they could hardly be blamed for this.

The intelligence they had received indicated only that the Cat Emperor was bringing along two youngsters and an old man.

The Cat Emperor was the primary target, of course, and the old man, though powerful, was severely wounded and not fit for battle—a reality.

Considering this, their strength was surely adequate, more than enough.

The two youngsters accompanying the Cat Emperor could be ignored and not taken seriously. As long as the five of them could handle the Cat Clan’s monarch, there would be no problem.

And with the combined strength of five individuals nearing the Supreme level, if they couldn’t overcome the Cat Emperor, what then?

The five of them each felt they were not inferior to the Cat Emperor, with the two leading individuals even feeling they held a slight edge. Calculating this, it was not just a sure victory they held, but an absolute control.

Yet upon arrival, they were shocked to find that the so-called ‘severely wounded and unfit for battle’ old man turned out to be an even more formidable and fearsome figure than the Cat Emperor.

And what was most fatal was the old man’s determination to fight to the death, a readiness for mutual destruction!

This put the five of them in quite a predicament.

At this moment, no one knew the true feelings in the hearts of those five people; they were too complicated, too hard to express!

If not for their golden masks, perhaps their eyeballs would have popped out.
