Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

The white protective shield barrier radiated formidable power, making it clear that breaking through the barrier and escaping in a short time was not an option. It also prevented Ye Feng from choosing to flee immediately, given that this protective shield had been passed down by the Hong Family of the Ancient Clan for over two thousand years. Although energy had been continuously draining away for those two millennia, each generation of Hong Family elders had replenished it.

What was even more unusual was that the barrier did not block the view of the bystanders, so many of the Hong Family younger generation could clearly see everything happening inside.

At this moment, Ye Feng and three Elders of the Hong Family were suspended in mid-air. Ye Feng held the Sword of Royal Authority with a steady expression, facing three of the Hong Family's Elders.

"Good, activating the Clan Defense Grand Formation is a wise move, even though it will consume a considerable amount of energy. With the protective shield in place, that brat won't be able to escape even if he grows wings!" the Elder of the Tai Bing Clan said with a cold snort.

"To think that we need to activate the Clan Defense Grand Formation just to deal with a snotty kid who's still wet behind the ears. It's not as if our clan is facing a grave danger, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?" the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan remarked coldly, though he still moved quickly to the side of the Elder of the Tai Bing Clan.

It seemed that even he had to admit that not even the Elder of the Tai Bing Clan, a Great Power of the Peak Realm, could contend with Ye Feng.

"Boy, now that we've activated the Hong Family's Clan Defense Grand Formation, I'll ask you one last time," the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan said with a cold huff. "The offer I made earlier, will you accept it or not?"

Ye Feng couldn't help but smirk and reply coldly, "Just a mere energy barrier, and you think you can trap me inside? You're far too confident!"

"So stubborn that you won't cry until you see the coffin. Since that's the case, today I will eradicate you!" the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan said before vanishing into thin air.

The next moment, he appeared suddenly before Ye Feng with incredible speed. He was utilizing the Power of the Void, with no Spirit Essence fluctuations whatsoever – he had maneuvered through the void directly to approach Ye Feng.

The Elder of the Tai Yi Clan swiftly struck out with his Great Hand, a blazing dash of golden sunlight aiming straight for the back of Ye Feng's head.

However, as soon as he moved, Ye Feng had already darted away preemptively, and the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan's strike hit nothing but air, causing a thunderous explosion as the radiant sunlight pierced through the void!

Fortunately, the space had a strong healing ability, rapidly mending the fissures that had formed. Otherwise, the place might soon have suffered a spatial collapse or even have been completely devoured by the chaotic flows of time and space.

Frustrated at his missed strike, the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan frowned deeply, huffing with a heavy tone, "What's going on? How could you have dodged in advance? I used Void Maneuvering, which has no Spirit Essence fluctuations. You shouldn't have been able to sense it coming!"

Ye Feng smirked coldly and responded, "Did you really think that just because you used the Void Maneuvering Technique, you could surely overpower me, and that I wouldn't be able to sense it? If this is what counts for the vaunted technique of the Half-Step Void Arrow, then it seems rather underwhelming today!"

The Elder of the Tai Yi Clan couldn't help grinding his teeth in anger, retorting sharply, "Well, boy, I didn't expect you to be able to anticipate my movement trajectory. I admit, I did underestimate you before. But even if your cultivation can sense the movement trajectory of Void Maneuvering, there's no way you can keep up!"

As he finished speaking, the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan's figure disappeared once again, this time also leaving no trace of Spirit Essence, vanishing without a trace.

At this moment, the Mental Power Nucleus in Ye Feng's Sea of Consciousness was spinning at high velocity, filling the entire protective shield with his spiritual power. Within it, every movement, even the fluctuations of space, could not escape his detection.

Even if a Half-Step Void Realm Great Power used the Void Maneuvering Technique without employing Spirit Essence and producing no Spirit Essence fluctuations, this method was essentially a lower-grade version of spatial jumping, which would still cause spatial fluctuations.

By catching these spatial fluctuations, Ye Feng was able to anticipate the movement trajectory of the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan.

With a whoosh, Ye Feng's figure darted swiftly to evade, and in the next moment, the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan appeared where Ye Feng had just been standing, launching two terrifying blasts of golden sunlight his way. Had they made contact, even Ye Feng's Supreme Armor might have been damaged.

The Elder of the Tai Yi Clan made another strike but missed and disappeared once again, chasing after Ye Feng using the Void Maneuvering Technique.

Ye Feng sneered, aware that the opponent considered their Void Maneuvering Technique to be very impressive when, in reality, it was entirely within the grasp of his spiritual power coverage. Of course, it had to be acknowledged that Void Maneuvering was incredibly fast, an instantaneous spatial traversal, and if not for Ye Feng's equally rapid movement technique, he wouldn't have been able to react in time.

"Impressive, kid, but let's see just how long you can run!" the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan exclaimed, his frustration turning to fury as he vanished into thin air once more.

As Ye Feng discerned the opponent's jump trajectory, he made another swift movement. However, this time, the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan changed tactics, employing successive Void Maneuvering jumps to pursue him intensely.

Just as Ye Feng swiftly evaded, the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan followed up with another jump, hot on his heels with relentless pursuit.

"No, this successive jumping is so fast, I'm barely able to keep up!" Ye Feng's expression shifted slightly.

Even though he had cultivated the Technique of the Three Thousand Acupoints, with a movement speed far exceeding Same Rank Warriors and not at all inferior to that of a Great Power of the Peak Realm in the Yin-Yang Realm, he was still somewhat slower than a Great Power in the Half-Step Void Realm.

Especially since the opponent was persistently using Void Maneuvering to chase him, Ye Feng could anticipate the moves, but his speed was decidedly slower.

With the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan closing in, Ye Feng's gaze suddenly hardened as he channeled the Spirit Essence in his body rapidly into the Sword of Royal Authority and unleashed a slash.

The majestic Sword Qi swept out like a long rainbow, rushing towards the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan in the rear.

Facing the Long Rainbow Sword Qi, even the Tai Yi Clan Elder dared not underestimate it, after all, he was only at the Half-Step Void Realm. He utterly relied on the Power of the Void to outmatch those at the Peak Realm—Great Powers, but the Spirit Essence within his body and his own defensive power were, in fact, not much stronger than those Great Powers at the Peak Realm.

Nevertheless, he was, after all, at the Half-Step Void, having grasped the Power of the Void was no trivial matter!

The Elder of the Tai Yi Clan swung his Great Hand and directly used the Power of the Void. By constantly compressing and deforming space, he scattered the Royal Authority Sword Qi on the spot. This was a confrontation and suppression on a different level. The Tai Yi Clan Elder didn't even need to use his own Spirit Essence.

However, this stopped the Tai Yi Clan Elder's forward progress, and he had no choice but to change direction, leaping through space from the side with Void Maneuvering.

Ye Feng got a temporary respite and quickly swept away.

Yet, after two leaps and bounds via Void Maneuvering, the Tai Yi Clan Elder quickly caught up again. After all, such high-level Void Maneuvering was undoubtedly much stronger than the Power of Yin and Yang.

What was more fatal was that the surroundings were blocked by a Protective Shield Barrier, limiting Ye Feng's range of motion. He couldn't break through the shield and flee in the first moment. Within this small area, the opponent's Void Maneuvering was even more advantageous.

After all, for an unmatched powerhouse at the Half-Step Void Realm, they could only perform short-range Void Maneuvering at present.

Seeing that the opponent was about to catch up, Ye Feng, having no other option, once again waved his sword, sending out a wave-like Sword Qi.

"Break for me!" The Elder of the Tai Yi Clan clearly was prepared. With a pat of his Great Hand, the Power of the Void on the spot twisted and scattered the Sword Qi wave.

Simultaneously, the Tai Yi Clan Elder leaped once more and in an instant, arrived at Ye Feng's side, followed by a strike of fiery gold light.

At this moment, Ye Feng had just swung his sword and was unable to block in time, nor could his body react fast enough.

Suddenly, with a thunderous boom!

Ye Feng was struck in the waist and sent flying.

A series of cracks appeared at the waist of the Supreme Armor. Fortunately, the armor's defense kept Ye Feng safe even though he was sent flying.

Grinding his teeth, the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan muttered, "Such a powerful Defensive Armor. It looks like this armor must be one of the legacies of the Sovereign of the Human Race from over two thousand years ago. Kid, you really have good luck, not only obtaining this armor but even getting your hands on that sword!"

With that, he changed the subject, adding, "But even if your talent and strength are impressive, you shouldn't dream of contending with me with your current cultivation strength. Just now was just a little tryout. Next, I will get serious, and you, boy, will undoubtedly die today!"

As he finished speaking, a blade suddenly appeared in the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan's hand—a fiery red blade!

Hong Wuji and the others saw this and exclaimed excitedly on the spot, "Our Clan Elder, fitting of an unworldly strong figure at the Half-Step Void Realm, is indeed too powerful. Especially that Power of the Void, it's utterly terrifying. Even the strongest Peak Realm warriors are helpless against this Power of the Void!"

"Indeed, the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan is going to get serious now. This Ye fellow is definitely done for this time!" the many youths of the Hong Family also clamored.

From afar, atop the roof, the Elder Buddhist of the Buddhist Sect saw this and could not help but snort coldly and curl his lip, "The Elder of the Tai Yi Clan is even bringing out his Fiery Sun Divine Blade. It looks like this battle is coming to an end. Today, this kid with the surname Ye is doomed!"

The Holy Elder of the Confucian Sect, however, shook his head and chuckled, "I don't think so."

"Not so? Could it be that you think Ye Feng can still contend with the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan? You should be well aware that in the face of the Power of the Void, even the most powerful beings at the Peak Realm cannot exert any effectiveness," the Elder Buddhist of the Buddhist Sect said gravely.

The Elder Confucian still chuckled, "After all, this kid is a successor of the Sovereign of the Human Race and has been chosen by Old Long. He isn't likely to have just that sword and no other powerful trump cards. Just wait and see, the battle can't possibly end like this; I even think that the Tai Yi Clan Elder might not be able to handle him!"

"You're saying even the Elder of the Tai Yi Clan might not take him down? Impossible. Do you dare bet with me?" The Elder Buddhist of the Buddhist Sect said coldly.

"What would you like to wager?" asked the Sacred Elder.

"Bet on that little stone from your Confucian Sect's legacy. If this kid really gets suppressed and taken down by the Tai Yi alone, then that little stone of your Confucian Sect will be mine!" said the Buddhist Sect Elder, grinning.

"Fine, but on the contrary, if the Tai Yi Clan Elder can't take down Ye Feng by himself, then those Buddha Beads from your Buddhist Sect's legacy will belong to me," replied the Holy Elder of the Confucian Sect.

"Agreed. Let's wait and see. That Sacred Stone of Vast Righteousness from your Confucian Sect, I'll take it for sure!" declared the Elder Buddhist of the Buddhist Sect confidently.
