Chapter 787: Hunting

In fact, back in the place of coral, Han Fei had seen Yu Ji using that move.

However, it was not arrival back then, but attachment.

However, Han Fei saw how powerful the golden figure was this time. If Cao Jiaren hadn’t used the fist marks of the Cao family twice in a row, the human team wouldn’t have had much advancement.

Yu Ji was silent for a while. “It’s a top secret technique.”

Han Fei asked eagerly, “Can you teach me?”

Han Fei was only asking because the technique was indeed powerful. He didn’t know what its side effect was, but it would be a great trump card for him if he got it.

Yu Ji shook her head. “No!”

Han Fei didn’t insist. “I’ve saved you once. I don’t owe you anything now.”

Yu Ji frowned. “Okay, our loss is quite heavy, but it’s fine if Yu Ying is still alive. But I don’t understand how the human beings knew we were coming and prepared an ambush in advance.”

Han Fei shook his head. “I don’t know. One of the human beings was very strong. Perhaps her range of perception is very wide.”

Yu Ji heaved a sigh. “She must’ve detected us from at least fifty kilometers away to make the arrangements in advance. Even regular peak-level Hidden Fishers might not have such a wide range of perception.”

Han Fei asked in surprise, “Hidden Fishers can’t sense things fifty kilometers away?”

Yu Ji nodded. “Human beings have techniques to broaden their eyes, but sea demons don’t. It’s hard for us to train our souls. Under normal circumstances, we train through the 72 demon realms and the bottom level of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower. However, our advantage is our battle technique in mental attacks!”

Han Fei was confused. “Can’t we loot those techniques from humans?”

Yu Ji shook her head. “Those techniques are too important. Nobody will carry them during explorations.”

Han Fei asked again, “Can’t you break the illusion with high spiritual power?”

Yu Ji shook her head. “Not necessarily. Those who set up illusions will only have greater spiritual power. Also, you need to locate the vulnerabilities of an illusion to break it. You have to be very determined, or it won’t be easy to break the brilliant illusions.”

Han Fei realized that there was still a lot that he needed to learn. However, he wasn’t really afraid. He had the Yin-Yang Divine Eyes that could easily nullify regular illusions.

Han Fei suddenly rose. “Okay, let’s split up!”

Yu Ji was slightly surprised. “Why?”

“Two people are no different from one. It’s even more convenient for us to flee as individuals.”

Yu Ji looked at Han Fei thoughtfully. “Okay, but killing the dry tree is still your objective. Don’t try to hide and keep a distance from the following operation. Only Lord Yu Hun knows how to get out. Now that he’s probably dead, we have to join another team or wait for other people at the dry tree.”

Han Fei was briefly stunned. He had forgotten that question! He wasn’t informed of the way out when he came in. He couldn’t find where he came from. Even if he could, he didn’t think that it was an exit.

Han Fei thought for a moment and nodded. “Okay.”

After that, Han Fei chose a random direction and dashed out.

A moment later, confirming that Yu Ji didn’t follow him, Han Fei grinned. He had finally disassembled his team. Although not everybody was dead, it was still good enough.

Why didn’t he kill Yu Ji? Mainly because Han Fei didn’t know if Yu Ying witnessed how he and Cao Jiaren observed the battle without joining it.

If she had witnessed it, she would’ve accused him of betrayal.

However, her accusation wouldn’t be as valid now that he had saved Yu Ji.

In any case, he had to kill Yu Ying one way or another.

Searching his memories, Han Fei came to where Yu Ying’s shadow appeared and chased after her.

A moment later, Han Fei found that the place was empty. There wasn’t anything within forty kilometers.

He didn’t spot Yu Ying, but he did find a Hundred-Year Tree Demon.

Han Fei scanned the corner where the Hundred-Year Tree Demon was hiding and didn’t find any spiritual fruits, so he wasn’t interested in fighting it anymore.

“Where is she? I have to kill her!”

Han Fei unhurriedly took out a peppermint and put it in his mouth. Then, Little Black and Little White appeared out of nowhere.

Han Fei touched Little White’s head. “Daughter, there was someone here. Do you smell her? Find her.”

…

Yu Ying was in her shadow state. Her face was pale and she was exhausted.

However, she couldn’t stay here. She didn’t know if the human beings were still around, but she had to tell others that Yu Fei was a traitor, or so many more people would be fooled by him!

A moment earlier, she tried her best to melt her body into the shadow, and the last scene she saw was that Han Fei and Cao Jiaren were standing very close to each other and watching the fierce battle without any intention of fighting.

Then, Yu Ying recalled what happened earlier. Why did human beings set up the ambush? Why did Han Fei choose this way?

Also, even though the Thousand-Year Tree Demon was destroyed by Yu Fei, he was the one who claimed that he smelled something. If he hadn’t, Lord Yu Hun wouldn’t have searched the seaweeds.

But why would Yu Fei betray us?

That was what puzzled Yu Ying the most. Yu Fei was an Azure Sea Blue Demon. How could he win the human beings’ trust?

Also, Yu Fei was taken back by Yu Ji, but Yu Ji was clearly fighting too. Or, was it a trick and Yu Ji and Yu Fei were pretending?

At this moment, Yu Ying was quite befuddled, wondering if Yu Ji had betrayed her people too.

Yu Ying couldn’t have been more shocked.

It wouldn’t be too terrible if Yu Fei were the traitor. Although Yu Fei was well appreciated in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, it was said that he wouldn’t stay there, so he wasn’t given a lot of things, not even a Semi-Divine Weapon.

However, it would be horrible if Yu Ji had betrayed them. Yu Ji had learned after Yu Beichen and knew too many secrets about the Ten Thousand Demon Valley.

Suddenly, Yu Ying remembered the robbery of her weapon store.

Six of her weapon stores suffered thefts twice. In the first time, only materials and spiritual spring energy were stolen.

The second time, even the Refining Divine Platforms were stolen. That happened after Yu Fei came! But how did Yu Fei do that? He had an alibi…

Immediately, Yu Ji was panicked and muttered, “Yu Ji has betrayed us too.”

Han Fei always thought that he was exposed. He didn’t see it coming that Yu Ying’s final conclusion would be that Yu Ji was the traitor.

If he had seen it coming, he would’ve abandoned the pursuit. Why would he care about Yu Ji’s betrayal?

At this moment, Han Fei was still chasing her. Little White wasn’t slow, and Yu Ying couldn’t be far away. As soon as he detected her, it would be impossible for her to flee.

After only half an hour, Han Fei detected a shadow in his senses. He was quite delighted. To prevent himself from alarming the target, he stopped.

Yu Ying was quite good at escaping. What if she ran off again when he approached?

Immediately, Han Fei triggered a thought and activated the Overlord.

He split some of his soul and gave it to the Overlord. Little Black and the Overlord left quietly.

In his bracelet, Shu Shan, who rarely talked, suddenly said, “I’ve been curious about your secret. It seems that you have a ghost contractual spiritual beast.”

Han Fei knew that he couldn’t hide Little Black from Shu Shan. He didn’t say anything but simply let Little Black swallow the Overlord.

Shu Shan said awkwardly, “However, don’t use it in front of an expert. I can vaguely detect it. If I were in my prime state, I would’ve discovered it sooner.”

Han Fei broke a sweat and thought to himself, That’s because Little Black’s level isn’t high enough, nobody can detect it without careful searching.

…

Yu Ying was recovering. She had three spiritual fruits in a row. She would be 80% as strong as she used to be a moment later, and her safety would be guaranteed.

She spread out her senses again and was reassured.

“Good thing that nobody is after me. Yu Ji and Yu Fei have to die.”

All of a sudden, Yu Ying had a feeling of death. Her heart was filled with a sense of crisis.

“Not good!”

Crack.

Yu Ying’s neck was bitten apart. Then, a fully-armored brawny man appeared out of nowhere with a rusty rod and smashed Yu Ying’s head into pieces.

Even though she had Semi-Divine equipment, she didn’t see the attack coming at all.

Now that the ambush worked out, Han Fei’s own body started rushing close. He also stepped on Yu Ying’s golden battle suit.

It was possible for the Immortal Seal to revive someone, but it couldn’t take the Semi-Divine equipment away.

However, if Yu Ying were very close, she could absorb the Semi-Divine equipment into her body. The Overlord simply stood there and waited for Yu Ying.

One second passed.

Two seconds passed.

Yu Ying reappeared in two seconds. She sensed a terrifying crisis again and instantly dispersed into hundreds of shadows.

Han Fei was rather stunned to see the hundreds of shadows. He couldn’t tell which one was real from the perspective of the Overlord.

However, Little Black chased after one particular shadow.

Han Fei’s eyes glittered. “Hey! I didn’t know that Little Black could see through clones! Awesome!”

Yu Ying was stunned. Had she been seen through?

Han Fei dashed close with a Golden Harpoon. He smiled coldly. Everything would be fine after he killed Yu Ying.

Only ten seconds later, a streak of brilliance glowed at the bottom of the sea so terrifyingly that the seaweeds on its way all retreated.

When Yu Ying saw Han Fei, she understood everything.

“Yu Fei, you’ve been conspiring with human beings!”

“Hiu!”

Seeing that there was no time to dodge, Yu Ying charged at her enemy with white flames burning on her body.

BAM!

Yu Ying rolled hundreds of meters on the ground. Fortunately, there were no Hundred-Year Tree Demons around, or they would’ve stabbed her.

“Pu!”

Yu Ying vomited blood in shock. “You’re so strong! Have you been hiding your strength?”
