The Tang Family elite squad entering Flame Forest this time consists of ten people, mainly young members of the Tang Family, with the exception of the leader Tang Taikun, Tang Tianyu, and Tang Cunxin.
Others are around Body Tempering Realm Second Layer, all of whom are formidable Star Warriors. As for those at Body Tempering Realm First Layer, there are almost none, because those at Body Tempering Realm First Layer cannot join the Tang Family's elite squad.
The reason they knew Ye Feng and Tang Changan were not dead was because Yang Zhan, after escaping Sihai Grand Hotel, severely scolded Tang Kunshan over the phone. He shifted all blame for failing to kill Ye Feng and Tang Changan, and for losing fifty Yang Family bodyguards, onto the Tang Family members.
To this day, those fifty bodyguards are still lying in Nanjiang City Fifth Hospital.
Furthermore, Yang Zhan threatened to sever all business dealings with the Tang Family if Ye Feng and Tang Changan were not dealt with within three days.
Knowing that Ye Feng and Tang Changan would definitely enter Flame Forest (otherwise, Tang Changan wouldn't have brought Ye Feng to the Tang Family banquet to join the Tang Family elite squad's hunt for Lizard Demons), the Tang Family's elite squad has another objective besides hunting Lizard Demons this time: to kill Ye Feng and Tang Changan.
To ensure they could kill Ye Feng and Tang Changan, the Tang Family not only arranged for Tang Taikun, who is at Body Tempering Realm Fourth Layer, to lead the team but also equipped each member of the elite squad with a Low-grade Yellow Spirit Artifact.
Before this, they had even expelled Tang Changan and Tang Younan from the Tang Family registry, cutting off their monthly living expenses of seven thousand yuan, which Tang Changan and Tang Younan relied on to pay their mortgage for Sunshine Building.
Without this living expense, Tang Younan and Jiang Xiaoyue were driven out to Shantytown. All of this happened after Ye Feng and Tang Changan went to Flame Forest, so the two of them are currently unaware.
"Why did we have to run into them at this particular time?" Tang Changan looked back at the Tang Family members with a face full of bad luck and said.
"Old Master Tang, please find someone else to treat my wounds for now. Let's deal with the Tang Family elite squad first," Ye Feng suggested to Tang Changan, realizing that it wasn't the time to heal.
"No, you've lost a third of your blood. If you don't get treated immediately, you'll die from excessive blood loss." Tang Changan was resolute, unwilling to give up on treating Ye Feng.
"Now is a critical moment for healing. Don't talk, and don't get distracted. Concentrate," Tang Changan solemnly instructed Ye Feng.
He had already made up his mind: he would heal Ye Feng, even if it meant being cut down by the Tang Family.
"What a stroke of luck. The thing sparkling in that Ye fellow's pocket must be a Beast Core. After you kill him, bring me the Beast Core immediately."
Soon, Tang Taikun noticed the Beast Core in Ye Feng's right pocket.
Following that, Tang Cunxin and the other seven elite squad members drew the Low-grade Yellow Spirit Artifact swords and sabers from their backs.
"Tang Cunxin, you and my granddaughter have been friends since childhood, like sisters. Can you bear to kill me?" Tang Changan appealed to Tang Cunxin with familial sentiment.
"Stop playing the emotional card. You're doing this? You just want to stall for time. I won't fall for it," Tang Cunxin said coldly, showing no mercy.
She and Tang Younan had indeed grown up together, but that was all in the past. Ever since they severed ties with the Tang Family, Tang Changan and Tang Younan had no connection to the Tang Family.
Then, the Tang Family members' sabers and swords simultaneously slashed towards Ye Feng and Tang Changan. Scores of saber and sword marks appeared on their bodies, one after another, like they were in a queue.
In a short while, Ye Feng and Tang Changan's clothes were shredded, and blood flowed from their bodies, dyeing their clothes red.
Because their physiques were far stronger than ordinary people, Ye Feng could still endure. However, Tang Changan's condition was not as good.
Several times, he collapsed from the pain, yet he quickly managed to sit up again.
"Since slashing isn't working, just stab them directly. I don't believe their bodies can even block a Low-grade Yellow Spirit Artifact," Tang Taikun, unwilling to accept defeat, instructed from the side.
"This is bad. If our bodies are actually pierced by their spirit artifacts, we might not survive. But we can't move right now." Seeing that the Tang Family members were about to stab them, Tang Changan fell into a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
"Hurry and stop the healing, or we'll all lose our lives," Ye Feng urged Tang Changan, his face filled with anxiety and unease.
"No, I won't stop until you're healed." Looking at Ye Feng's profusely bleeding chest, Tang Changan, with a determined expression, spoke with a touch of stubbornness.
Even if he couldn't heal Ye Feng's wounds now, he had to stop the bleeding.
Subsequently, Tang Tianyu and the other seven members of the Tang Family elite squad, wielding their precious sabers and swords, desperately stabbed Ye Feng and Tang Changan. Each stab caused blood to gush out like a fountain.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng's body was pierced more than a dozen times. Despite this, he did not die and stood unyielding like the war god Xing Tian.
Tang Changan's body also had more than a dozen wounds, with several piercing his chest. Finally, unable to hold on, Tang Changan fell headfirst.
Tang Changan, lying on the ground, was motionless. It was unclear if he was still alive. However, as he fell, a smile of solace appeared on his face.
He had finally managed to stop Ye Feng's bleeding at the last moment.
"Old Master Tang, Old Master Tang!" Seeing Tang Changan motionless on the ground, Ye Feng cried out in anguish. With five or six wounds piercing his chest, he likely wouldn't survive.
"You can barely save yourself, yet you have the leisure to care about others," Tang Tianyu said with a cold sneer.
"Stop dawdling and kill him quickly. Get me the Beast Core," Tang Taikun urged impatiently, eager to obtain the Beast Core.
Immediately, Tang Tianyu and Tang Cunxin swung their precious sabers and swords, directly thrusting them at Ye Feng's chest. This time, with a chest stab, let's see if you still don't die.
Suddenly, Ye Feng extended his left hand and grabbed the incoming sabers and swords. His hand became like an iron clamp, firmly gripping the swords and sabers in Tang Tianyu's and Tang Cunxin's hands.
Seeing Ye Feng grab their Low-grade Yellow Spirit Artifacts with his bare hands like a monster, Tang Tianyu and Tang Cunxin's faces turned pale with shock.
Then, Ye Feng unleashed the Seven Shadow Fist with his right hand. In an instant, both Tang Tianyu and Tang Cunxin were sent flying backward. They crashed into a tree more than ten meters away.
Immediately, the other seven members of the Tang Family elite squad swung their sabers and swords, continuing to stab Ye Feng's chest. He, however, still grabbed the blade with his bare hands and then punched them all away, one by one.
"How can he be so powerful? Tang Tianyu and the Tang Family elite squad were defeated in the blink of an eye," Tang Taikun stared at Ye Feng as if he were a monster.
"You killed Old Master Tang. I will make all of you pay with your lives." Ye Feng walked towards Tang Taikun, his face filled with unforgivable rage.
But the next second, Tang Taikun transformed into a gust of wind and rushed forward, hitting Ye Feng with a punch that sent him flying over four hundred meters high.
