The purple-robed guard, however, was rich in combat experience.
He knew very well that Ye Fei must be hiding somewhere nearby.
Since he wouldn't reveal himself, they had to force him out.
"Hey, brat, I know you're hiding nearby, come out here right now!"
"Otherwise, I'll kill your companion first!"
"I'll count to three, and if you don't show yourself, I'll make my move!"
"I'm starting to count!"
Hiding behind a large tree not far away, Ye Fei gritted his teeth, letting out a wry smile. Fortunately, his premonition had been strong enough, and he had prepared some hidden weapons for self-defense.
Otherwise, he figured he would have truly slipped up this time.
As things stood, he could only resort to his hidden weapons to save his own life and Shangguan Xue'er's.
The reinforcements were nowhere to be seen.
Having made up his mind, Ye Fei had no regrets.
He placed the Shadowless Needles in his sleeve and, like a phantom, instantly appeared behind the purple-robed guard.
"Haha, brat, I knew you'd show up!"
"Watch my ultimate move!"
This time, the purple-robed guard no longer held back, launching his strongest attack directly at Ye Fei.
It had to be said, the power of this move was indeed formidable.
Even Ye Fei felt intense pressure from it!
But Ye Fei naturally wouldn't let him unleash this move.
So, after the attack was initiated, Ye Fei, with a resounding 'boom,' rapidly fired the Shadowless Needles from his sleeve.
Swish, swish, swish.
After a few sounds, the Shadowless Needles accurately pierced the purple-robed guard's body.
"Explode!"
Shua, shua, shua.
In an instant, the purple-robed guard's body exploded.
Until his death, he could not understand why he had been defeated by such an unknown youngster.
The commotion from Ye Fei's side also attracted Shangguan Xue'er and the others, who were still engaged in combat.
In fact, not just the three guards, but Shangguan Xue'er and Qian Dong were also stunned.
"Brat, you actually used hidden weapons, you're truly despicable and shameless!"
"Your victory is dishonorable!"
Qian Dong immediately shouted.
But Ye Fei didn't have the time to argue with him, instead going to Shangguan Xue'er's side to help her deal with the remaining three.
"Ye Fei, you've arrived just in time!"
"Let's try to finish this quickly and eliminate them!"
Shangguan Xue'er said as she fought.
"Alright, let's join forces and slay them here!"
As Ye Fei finished speaking, he immediately engaged in battle with them.
Dealing with these cultivators at the peak of Qi Condensation stage six was effortless for Ye Fei.
"Sister, we're here to help you!"
It was at this moment that Shangguan Ming and the others finally arrived with guards.
With a few swift movements, all three guards were swiftly killed.
As for Qian Dong, who had been trying to escape, he was quickly apprehended.
"Brother-in-law, what should we do with this guy?"
Shangguan Ming asked directly.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me!"
Ye Fei, holding his blood-stained long sword, walked up to Qian Dong.
By now, Qian Dong had lost all his previous arrogant and overbearing demeanor, trembling instead.
"Didn't you say you were going to have someone kill us just now?"
"How about it, now it's our turn to say that."
"Do you think I should kill you?"
Ye Fei asked with a cold face, patting Qian Dong's cheek with the bloody blade of his sword.
Qian Dong's legs began to tremble, and he could barely stand.
He hastily begged for mercy.
"Great hero Ye, please spare me!"
"I was also forced to do this!"
"Please be kind and let me go!"
"I will never dare to oppose you again!"
Because he had a history, Shangguan Xue'er didn't believe his words at all and snorted.
"Qian Dong, do you think your words have any credibility?"
"Stop with your honeyed words begging for forgiveness, I won't believe you!"
"Just wait to die!"
Qian Dong was filled with regret, but no one believed him.
However, he truly didn't want to die, so he threw all shame aside and fell to his knees before Ye Fei and the others with a 'pat,' crying profusely.
"Young hero Ye, honored madam, I was wrong, I truly was wrong!"
"From now on, even if someone lends me a hundred times more courage, I won't dare to oppose you!"
"Please show some mercy and spare me!"
"As long as you spare me, I'll make sure to take a detour whenever I see you!"
After some thought, Ye Fei whispered to Shangguan Xue'er and the others.
"Alright, let's do as you say."
"You decide!"
Shangguan Xue'er looked at Qian Dong and then said.
"Brat, remember this, I'm letting you go this time."
"But I still need to make things clear to you!"
"I am currently the closed-door disciple of the Sect Master of the Martial Sect. You should consider whether your Qian family is enough to contend with the Martial Sect!"
"As for Xue'er, there's even less need to say. She is not only a young lady of the Shangguan family but also very close to Murong Xiao."
"Don't be a fool and become a scapegoat, understand?"
Ye Fei patted his cheek again with the bloody sword blade, reminding him.
"I understand, I understand!"
"I will definitely reform myself from now on and not provoke you again!"
"Thank you, Young Hero Ye, for sparing me!"
Qian Dong could no longer hold back his tears and sobbed.
Then he stumbled away from the scene.
"Alright, I think he's finally understood. From now on, he'll surely remember today's lesson and won't dare to oppose us anymore."
"Let's leave here as well!"
Ye Fei suggested.
Afterward, everyone cleaned up the battlefield and returned home.
As for Grandpa Shangguan, who had learned that Ye Fei and the others had been attacked and had hastily sent people to rescue them, he waited anxiously upon returning home.
It wasn't until late at night, when he saw that everyone had returned safely, that he finally relaxed.
"Xiao Fei, are you injured?"
Grandpa Shangguan, with his keen observation, asked urgently.
"I'm fine, it's just a superficial wound. I can recover after a night of cultivation, it's nothing serious."
Ye Fei replied with a smile.
Seeing that Ye Fei didn't appear to be seriously injured, everyone finally felt at ease.
Then, they all retired to their respective rooms to rest.
