Tan Pengfei's face looked unhappy at this moment. Although he couldn't see clearly what was happening in the distance, under the circumstances just now, he could at least vaguely see the light of the Fengxing talisman on Tan Pengju's body.
That green light had always been his guide, allowing him to at least have something to lead him in the pitch-black jungle.
However, just now, after a loud bang, this green light suddenly flew out in the jungle and then disappeared without a trace.
Tan Pengfei didn't know what had happened. He didn't see any other talisman light coming out. Everything happened in the pitch black environment, which made him completely confused.
But even if he used his toes to think, he understood one thing, that the disappearance of Tan Pengju's green light was definitely not a good thing, and the situation just now must have been that Tan Pengju was attacked.
The only thing he hoped for now was that Tan Pengju was not dead, but was just knocked unconscious, because he felt that he could no longer accept the situation where Tan Pengju was also dead.
This time, the Tan family sent out all their elite troops, and more than half of the family's strength was placed on this team.
The current situation is that the entire team is almost wiped out. If even the team leader dies, then the loss of their Tan family can be said to be extremely great.
Not daring to take it lightly, Tan Pengfei condensed a gold defense spell on his body. He put on a set of gold clothes with flowing water ripples on it, which looked extremely beautiful.
This set of water-patterned gold talismans is the most powerful defensive talisman he possesses. Not only can it defend against attacks with the power of gold, it can also weaken the opponent's attacks with the power of water, greatly increasing the defensive power.
He was also afraid of unknown attacks in the woods. Although he didn't know what they were, he suspected that there might be monsters here.
He carefully headed towards the place where the green light had just disappeared. The dazzling spiritual light on Tan Pengfei's body naturally allowed Ye Li to see him clearly from a distance.
Now when there was only one opponent who was not as fast as him, Ye Li no longer had any fear at all.
There was only one tenth of his spiritual energy left in his body, but he had already taken a large amount of elixirs to restore his spiritual energy. He believed that even if he did not deliberately sit down and concentrate on restoring his spiritual energy, it would take less than two or three hours for his spiritual energy to be fully restored with the help of the elixirs.
With Ye Li's current speed, even if he didn't consume any spiritual energy to use the Thunder Ring, his speed could still surpass Tan Pengfei. Therefore, no matter whether he was advancing or retreating, as long as he didn't fight with the opponent, he didn't need to consume any spiritual energy at all and could wait for his spiritual energy to recover without any worries.
Of course, he had no intention of fighting with Tan Pengfei now. If Tan Pengfei had not activated the defensive talisman, he might still have the idea of fighting, but now that the opponent was prepared, he naturally could not rely on the physical strength of the early stage of the Void God period to fight against an opponent in the middle stage of the Void God period.
After all, his physical strength is not able to exert power beyond his own level. Only when he uses the secret method of body casting and the superposition of various talismans, can he instantly burst out with power far beyond the early stage of Void God Stage.
Ye Li had no intention of letting Tan Pengfei go. He had already killed one of the men and had absolutely no intention of letting the other one go.
According to his previous arrangements, the Traveling Merchants Association would secretly pass on the situation here to the enemies or competitors of the Tan family.
If the news that the Tan family had lost two masters in the Xushen period, as well as a large number of masters in the Yuantai period and Yutai period became known, they would immediately face the end of being divided up by their enemies or competitors.
After all, the higher you climb, the less you can withstand falls, and the loss from falling from a high place is definitely greater than that from falling from a low place.
Not only Ye Li was clear about this, but Tan Pengfei was equally clear in his mind. He now had no intention of invading the Ye family anymore. The only thing on his mind was to escape back to the family and preserve his strength.
If he were still alive, even if there were heavy casualties in the Yuantai and Yutai periods, the top power of the Tan family would still be able to suppress people from other forces.
After all, no one wants to confront the Tan family. In a fight to the death, no one can guarantee that there will be no casualties under the desperate attacks of two Void God stage masters.
If the rival forces of the Tan family suffer a huge loss of strength, then the fate they face may very likely be the same as that of the Tan family.
Therefore, the existence of Tan Pengfei is extremely important to the Tan family. Under the current circumstances, he is almost equivalent to a strategic master.
Tan Pengfei quickly rushed to the place where the green light disappeared. Under the illumination of the spiritual energy around him, he immediately found Tan Pengju who was beaten into a pulp.
The inside of Tan Pengju's body has now been completely shattered, and his corpse looks shriveled up like a burst water bag.
Seeing his fellow brothers die in such a miserable way, Tan Pengfei couldn't help but burst into tears and felt extremely angry.
However, his personality is calmer than Tan Pengju's. He knows what the current situation means to the family, and he understands his role in the family.
Restraining his grief, Tan Pengfei knelt beside Tan Pengju and reached out to close Tan Pengju's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Tan Pengfei had no time to continue mourning his dead brother. He made a prompt decision and stood up as quickly as possible and ran back along the same path.
On Ye Li's side, when he saw the other party running away, he smiled coldly.
"Ye Li, don't let him run away. His existence or not has completely different meanings for your Ye family."
The sound of Tunri rang in Ye Li's ears.
Ye Li nodded and said, "Of course I won't let him escape. After killing him, the crisis of the Ye family will be perfectly resolved.
The current overall strength of my Ye family is still too weak, with low average combat power, and it can no longer keep up with development.
After this time, Grandpa must stop the expansion, reintegrate the resources he already has, and then speed up his own construction.
If we cannot improve our family's military strength to a certain level, no matter how much our Ye family has, we will not be able to keep it."
Tun Ri said: "It's good that you understand this point, your Ye family is now supported by you alone.
But your strength is still quite insufficient. If you can reach the Divine Spirit Stage or the Divine Appearance Stage, then with the current strength of the Ye Family, it is understandable that you can occupy the resources of the Fourth Rank Family. After all, at that level, you can destroy a Fourth Rank Family by yourself, and no Fourth Rank Family dares to dictate to the Ye Family. "
Hearing Tunri's words, Ye Li couldn't help but agree: "It seems that if you want to use your personal strength to drive the development of the family, then your personal strength must be very strong. Only in this way can you have enough ruling power and oppression, otherwise the surrounding forces will never be convinced.
With my current abilities, it is not a problem for me to bring my family to the upper-middle level of the fifth rank. However, if I were to touch upon the fourth rank forces, I would not be recognized to some extent, which led to the current situation.
This time the Ye family was lucky. I came back in time and was lucky enough to defeat their people. If I left Shanhai County again and came back later next time, the Ye family's foundation might be destroyed. "
