Chapter 2727 - 2716: Temporary Alliance

It was because when he crashed into the stone wall just now.

Ye Chenfeng was able to sense the thickness of this stone wall; as for those other stone walls he’d sensed before, he couldn’t feel any end to them at all.

And judging from Ye Chenfeng’s estimation, the thickness of this stone wall was roughly about one and a half meters.

Of course, it was also covered in all kinds of Runes. Wanting to break open this seemingly thinnest stone wall was probably not that easy either, but this stone wall was their only hope of leaving here.

Previously, there had also been Divine Emperor Realm experts from the Upper World bombarding this stone wall, yet now it was still completely intact, which showed just how strong this stone wall was.

Just now, in order to block the strangling power of the Four Kill Gods, Ye Chenfeng had driven his strength to the absolute limit. Fortunately, Old White and Old Black helped him block a portion of the attack, but even so, both his sleeves were completely shredded, and his arms were covered in bloody scars.

There was a feeling of not being able to exert any strength in his arms, and especially the Meridians in his arms were wracked with waves of twisting pain.

After the Four Kill Gods blasted Ye Chenfeng flying, they were still not satisfied; their figures charged toward Ye Chenfeng.

At this point he couldn’t even enter his small world, and the combined combat power of the Four Kill Gods could match the Chaos Demon Emperor. Most crucially, the Four Kill Gods were now living dead; the toughness of their bodies was terrifying beyond compare.

Facing the Four Kill Gods, one could say Ye Chenfeng didn’t even have the slightest chance of victory.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng taking the combined attack of the Four Kill Gods, Old White and Old Black naturally couldn’t just sit and watch; they immediately moved close to the Chaos Demon Emperor’s coffin, and directly thrust their hands into the coffin.

As expected.

This immediately drew the attention of the Four Kill Gods; it seemed that whoever tried to touch the coffin would instantly become the target of their attacks.

The Four Kill Gods’ faces twisted into ferocious expressions. With Ye Chenfeng’s example right before them, Old White and Old Black moved very quickly; before the Four Kill Gods could attack, their hands had already reached into the coffin. They also wanted to search for clues inside the coffin.

Very soon.

Old White fished out a palm-sized blue orb from the Chaos Demon Emperor’s body, while Old Black fished out a black orb from the Chaos Demon Emperor’s body.

The Four Kill Gods had originally intended to kill Old White and Old Black from a distance, just like they’d attacked Ye Chenfeng earlier, but when they saw the two orbs taken from the Chaos Demon Emperor’s body, furious roars burst from their throats without pause, and they shot toward Old White and Old Black at their fastest speed.

As for Old White and Old Black, who were holding the blue and black orbs, they hadn’t even had time to examine the two orbs.

The two orbs directly seeped into their palms, and in the end actually drifted into their bodies.

They couldn’t spare any attention to check the changes in their bodies; faced with the Four Kill Gods closing in, the two of them rapidly retreated, moving toward the group of Upper World experts.

He Zhonghai shouted darkly, "Wu Fengxian, Jiang Yuntian, if you come any closer, don’t blame us for killing you."

All those Upper World experts were ready to launch attacks on Old White and Old Black; they had no desire to become collateral damage.

In the distance, Ye Chenfeng, who had just caught his breath, shouted, "I’ve found a way to get out of here, but first we have to temporarily set aside our grudges. Even if the Four Kill Gods’ current targets are us, once we’re dead, it’ll be your turn."

Hearing that Ye Chenfeng had a way, and listening to what he said after that, the experts from the Upper World, including He Zhonghai and He Dongfu, also knew the principle that when the lips are gone the teeth grow cold. Right now they had to put down their grudges and unite against the enemy; one more person meant one more share of strength.

Among the Upper World experts, an old man in black clothes at the late stage of the Divine Emperor Realm said, "What this kid said makes sense. Now is not the time to quibble; we must attack together."

The black-clothed old man was the first to meet Old White and Old Black head-on. Once he made his choice, the other experts followed suit one after another, and in the end even He Zhonghai and He Dongfu, extremely unwilling as they were, also stepped forward to join forces in dealing with the Four Kill Gods.

After Old White and Old Black took two orbs from the Chaos Demon Emperor’s body, no more aura leaked from the Chaos Demon Emperor at all, and his body rapidly shriveled up; in just a few brief instants, he turned into a horrifying dried corpse.

Ye Chenfeng fixed his gaze inside the coffin and saw that there was still a white orb within. Taking advantage of Old White, Old Black, and the Upper World experts drawing the enemy’s fire, he immediately appeared beside the coffin and took the white orb into his hand.

At this moment the Four Kill Gods couldn’t spare any thought for Ye Chenfeng, since Old White and Old Black had already taken away two orbs.

The experts from the Upper World were falling one after another.

He Zhonghai roared angrily at Ye Chenfeng, "You little bastard, are you playing us? You said you had a way to get out of here."

Ye Chenfeng ignored He Zhonghai and returned once more to that thinnest stone wall.

The white orb in his hand did not sink into his body. After he came to the wall, a surge of white power erupted directly from the orb; once this power flowed into the wall, the Runes reinforcing the stone wall inside became completely chaotic.

Although the Runes were not erased, their stabilizing power was greatly weakened.

Those Runes had originally been Ye Chenfeng’s toughest obstacle; now everything was resolved. He immediately shouted, "All of you gather over here with me and jointly set up a defensive barrier."

There was no other choice now; those Upper World experts could only obey Ye Chenfeng’s words.

Old White, Old Black, and the others jointly unfolded a defensive barrier. Because it was a barrier they all set up together, the ordinary attacks of the Four Kill Gods couldn’t break it for the time being, though it wouldn’t last long either.

After deploying the defensive barrier, Old White and the others quickly came to Ye Chenfeng’s side, and the barrier remained active the entire time.

Seeing that ordinary attacks couldn’t quickly break the defensive barrier, the Spiritual Energy inside the Four Kill Gods surged into a boil.

Their palms struck out toward the barrier in unison.

The air instantly became violently turbulent, and space twisted like a braided rope.

In front of each of them, an enormous black vortex of chaotic currents suddenly formed; these four black vortexes hurtled fiercely toward the defensive barrier.

Feeling this level of power, He Zhonghai shouted, "You little bastard, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Ye Chenfeng said calmly, "Everyone move to the sides immediately."

Because the defensive barrier could hold for a few seconds.

Everyone had the chance to dodge to the sides.

After the defensive barrier was broken, the four black vortexes slammed fiercely into the stone wall.

With a loud "Boom!"

A massive breach was blasted open in the stone wall, and they could even see the space beyond the gap.

Everyone was instantly overjoyed.

Under Ye Chenfeng’s direction, they had truly opened a gap through which they could escape.
