Not long after nightfall, a group of four men in civilian clothes were seen lying in the grass less than a hundred meters away from White Dragon City. The leader of the four was a young man with a red sword attached to his waist. The youth had starry eyes and was extremely handsome. His calm face didn't have a single ripple on it, giving him a sense of steadiness. He was softly speaking something, and the other three people beside him were secretly listening to his commands with their ears perked.

These four people were precisely Dugu Yifeng and his team.

This was the second night since Dugu Yifeng and the others had received the mission. Since they had decided to accept the rescue mission yesterday, Dugu Yifeng and the others had hastily prepared for a full day and night before setting off tonight.

"Our next goal is to break through that line of defense not too far away … "Remember, our goal is not to fight those strange beasts but to go to the Eastern Imperial City and ask for help. So, we must not fight with them. We must escape as soon as possible, we must cross this line of defense …" Dugu Yifeng instructed in a soft voice. At present, everything was going according to the plan that they had come up with. Everything was proceeding smoothly.

As he turned his head, he inadvertently glanced at the purple-clothed girl beside him. She had the looks of a celestial goddess.

Xue Xian`er gave Dugu Yifeng a puzzled look. She had already noticed his gaze and didn't say anything.

Dugu Yifeng gently turned his head, planning out his plan in his mind. In his heart, with their strength, this plan should not be a problem. On their way out of the city, Li Nantian informed the four of them that he wanted Dugu Yifeng to be in charge of the rescue operation while the others followed his orders. The three people beside him were slightly frowning. However, after thinking about Dugu Yifeng's strength, they felt relieved.

At this time, Dugu Yifeng had also learned the strength of the other three. Huo Nan'er was below Heaven and Earth, while Leng Xuan was at the high rank. As for Xue Xian'er, the princess of the Ice and Snow Divine Kingdom, her strength was a little scary … He had reached the first level of the Sky Realm!

First level of the Sky Realm. With her age, even Dugu Yifeng was impressed. At the same time, he also clearly understood that despite his current age, the battle accomplishments he obtained were already quite dazzling. However, compared to those martial arts geniuses who were born with abundant resources, he was still not strong enough. More accurately, his foundation was not strong enough!

After realizing his own impatience during this period of time, Dugu Yifeng felt as if he was about to make a breakthrough. He quickly suppressed his anxiety. Dugu Yifeng was very clear that what he needed now was more of a foundation. The more solid his foundation, the more likely he would be able to accumulate more of a foundation, and the more powerful his future generations would be. The further one cultivated their martial arts, the fewer resources one would be able to rely on. Only the breakthrough of one's mental state and soul would be able to achieve a true breakthrough.

"… …"

The night gradually became darker, and the moonlight was also somewhat dim. It was very beneficial for Dugu Yifeng and the others to break through.

Dugu Yifeng was about to make his move, so the time they chose to break through the defensive line was in the early hours of the morning. Late at night, although the beasts were active at night, they were not many. This moment was the best opportunity for them to break through.

"Attack!" Dugu Yifeng let out a deep growl and started to head towards the front with his body slightly bent. The three people behind him formed an arch around him.

Soon — —

"Take two or three as camps. Take care of yourself and get out of here as soon as possible!" After quickly spitting out these words, Dugu Yifeng's footsteps flickered and he began to fiercely attack the beast that had discovered him.

In just a split-second, Dugu Yifeng had arrived in front of that pig Tie Meng. Leng Xuan was right behind him.

Sword drawn, dead!

Tie Meng Pig's eyes were bloodshot. His eyes were bloodshot, and he would not rest in peace even if he died! When the Sword Tiger next to him saw Dugu Yifeng deal with the Hou Tian Level pig Tie Meng with such a sharp move, he was shocked and subconsciously wanted to scream out violently.

In the time it took for a spark to fly, a sword pierced through his throat from top to bottom!

The sword blade curved, and blood dripped down the sword blade. This sword was called the Fantasy Star!

The other three people who saw Dugu Yifeng's ghostly speed were shocked beyond words. Although he had heard of it before, when he saw it for the first time, he realized that the rumour's description of his speed was still rather superficial.

Moreover, the three of them had not even made a move, yet all the mutated beasts had already been taken care of?

Seeing this, an angry look appeared on Dugu Yifeng's face, "Hurry up and leave!"

The three of them also reacted, following Dugu Yifeng at a fast pace. Dugu Yifeng and the others did not waste any time because they knew that it would not be long before the beast would discover the deaths of Tie Meng Pig and Sword Tiger.

Mutant beasts were evolved from animals in nature, so their sensitivity to blood was extremely astonishing. The blood of a Sword Tiger and a Iron Meng Pig would quickly arouse suspicion.

In the end, they still successfully passed through the first line of defense. Of course, this was all thanks to Dugu Yifeng's astonishing strength. Even though there were also Houtian masters present, there were quite a number of them. However, compared to Dugu Yifeng and the other three, there was one thing that they couldn't compare with.

That was speed! The speed of his escape!

Although the previous group was able to kill a portion of the strange beasts, their movements were not nimble enough. Before they could completely clean up the strange beasts that were blocking their path, another wave of strange beasts had already surrounded them. Wave after wave, the people who were begging for help could do nothing about it.

The better ones risked their lives to escape back to White Dragon City while the unlucky ones even lost their lives on the battlefield.

With Dugu Yifeng's strength alone, he was able to quickly deal with these two strange beasts. Only two of the beasts had broken through the defense line. In fact, it was only because of their good luck that Dugu Yifeng and the other two beasts had managed to finish the fight without having to fight the other three.

Dugu Yifeng and the others had successfully passed the beast defense line and were in a very good mood. However, they did not relax. After all, the news of White Dragon City being surrounded by strange beasts had spread throughout the city.

During the day when Dugu Yifeng and the others had decided to move out, news of a strange beast attacking the city had already begun to spread in a small area through the mouths of the common citizens of White Dragon City. Many of White Dragon City's defenders had seen the strange beast in the city. It would be easier to kill two soldiers in the city, but once this strange beast appeared, almost everyone saw it. The wind naturally wouldn't be able to stop it.

Dugu Yifeng and the others also understood that the news from the City Lord's Mansion would not last for long. Otherwise, they would not have left in such a hurry.

Counting the time, if everything went smoothly, with Dugu Yifeng and the others' speed, they would be able to reach Bai Long Cheng and ask for help for two days and two nights.

Of course, this is under the best of circumstances, ideally. However, Dugu Yifeng felt that in this world, everything seemed to have gone wrong …
