The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1881: Chapter 1909: Suppression

Originally, Lord Ba Dao and his companions were fighting evenly against the straw men. In fact, they had the upper hand by recognizing their advantage and slightly gaining some superiority. However, as the battle dragged on, they began to feel increasingly disadvantaged, as the three straw men’s energy seemed nearly inexhaustible.

Gradually, their strength was rapidly depleted, yet the power of the three straw men remained abundant.

The group became progressively exhausted, while the straw men defeated and killed the disciples of the Green Lotus Sword Sect and the Fierce Blade Sect one by one.

Now, only Su Yourong and the other three remain. At this point, the straw men have already gained the upper hand.

Relentless, like a fierce storm, the attacks kept bombarding the four individuals. They were forced to constantly retreat under the assault. Given the current circumstances, their defeat was merely a matter of time.

At this moment, Su Yourong saw Ye Feng and Long Yu reappear, and she angrily shouted, ”Feng Ye, Long Yu, where have you two been, you bastards? Seeing us in danger and not helping!”

Long Yu looked at Ye Feng, an anxious expression in his eyes, ”Feng Ye, we should help, even though Senior Sister Su Yourong has been targeting you and advising against it; we are still disciples of the Green Lotus Sword Sect!”

Ye Feng spoke calmly, ”Don’t worry, let’s wait a bit. I never said that I wouldn’t help them!”

Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Long Yu nodded, though he remained very concerned. He didn’t know how long Su Yourong could hold on. Meanwhile, the straw men swiftly weaved through the crowd, their blade-like aura slicing through the void.

”Die!” Lord Ba Dao shouted furiously, flames and lightning wrapped around him, his aura reaching its peak as he charged at one of the straw men, striking thirty consecutive blows.

”Dang, dang, dang~~” The sound of metal clashing reverberated in the void, sparks flying, yet all his attacks were resisted by the straw men. One straw man moved behind Lord Ba Dao, attacking him.

”Pfft!” In an instant, blood sprayed forth as Lord Ba Dao was blasted a hundred meters away by one strike.

The straw men seized the opportunity and attacked the remaining three, including Su Yourong. Without Lord Ba Dao absorbing most of the attacks, Su Yourong and her companions fell into a passive position, fleeing in all directions.

”Ah!” Su Yourong screamed as her back was struck directly by the straw man’s scythe, causing blood to spurt. The straw men seized the opportunity and attacked Su Yourong simultaneously, prompting Long Yu to shout anxiously, ”Feng Ye Junior Brother!”

Su Yourong shouted in anger, ”Feng Ye, Long Yu, what are you doing, not helping!”

”Buzz, buzz, buzz~~” Suddenly, the ground shook, and runes from the medicine field erupted like a torrent, applying a terrifying gravitational force onto the three straw men.

At that moment, the gravity within the medicine field seemed to increase a thousandfold, slowing down the actions of the straw men greatly. It was this precise moment that Ye Feng’s formation was finally activated.

The energy within the formation transformed into three gigantic energy pillars, descending from the heavens.

”Boom! Boom! Boom!” The terrifying suppressive force crushed the bodies of the straw men, causing them to plummet from the void and crash heavily onto the ground.

The energy pillars, with runes swirling around them, directly suppressed the straw men. Once subdued, the straw men gradually lost their energy, their once surging and violent forces dwindling.

In less than ten breaths’ time, the energy within the straw men nearly vanished, completely subdued by Ye Feng’s formation, lying motionless on the ground, their glow completely gone.

”Phew~~” Seeing the straw men subdued, Su Yourong and her companions breathed a sigh of relief. Had Ye Feng acted a moment later, they would have all been slain by the straw men, but Su Yourong’s gaze didn’t show gratitude.

Su Yourong looked at Ye Feng, angrily questioning, ”Feng Ye, what’s going on with you? Why didn’t you help us? Where were you for so long? If you had acted sooner, fewer of us might have died!”

However, Ye Feng remained relaxed and replied calmly, ”I warned you not to enter the medicine field. You didn’t listen — how is it my fault? I acted now because my formation could only be triggered now, as it just got properly set up. If you’re dissatisfied, I can dismantle the formation!”

Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Su Yourong trembled internally, reluctant to trouble Ye Feng further. After all, Ye Feng had subdued the straw men; if he removed the formation, the straw men would definitely attack them again.

Su Yourong and Lord Ba Dao had already been seriously injured and were certainly no match for the straw men.

At this moment, Lord Ba Dao approached Ye Feng and his companions, his expression extremely somber. He suspected Ye Feng intentionally kept them unaware of the dangers in the medicine field, causing many of them to die.

But there was no choice, since Ye Feng had subdued the straw men, and they were now within Ye Feng’s formation, so he dared not confront Ye Feng, choosing to tolerate and not pursue the issue further.

”Alright, let’s heal first. Ninety percent of the herbs in the medicine field haven’t been picked yet. After healing, we’ll gather the herbs!” Lord Ba Dao said; seeing him not pursue the matter, Su Yourong too refrained from speaking further.

Within just two days, Lord Ba Dao and his companions managed to fully recover from their injuries using the medicine field’s herbs.

Then, they began gathering, not expecting that when they entered the Soul Devouring Clan’s ruins, there were fourteen of them, now only six remain in a few short days.

However, given the medicine field before them, it was deemed worthwhile.
