Captured in '92

  Jiang Yuanfeng was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly while shouting loudly: "Still not coming out?"

  "Huh?" Yuan Ye's eyebrows furrowed, but he saw Rui Xi, Xu Zi Jing, Little Demoness Xu Ying, Cen Sen, and Mu Rong Qiang respectively being tied up by two Martial King-level experts. Several of them were still injured, clearly having been caught not long after a recent battle.

  "You see what I'm doing, they can't kill me, but my little strength can't stop Emperor Wu from catching people either." Mu Rongqiang, who was tied up like a dead pig, saw Yuan Ye staring at him and shouted in frustration.

  "Jiang Yuanfeng, what do you mean by this?" Yuan Yensen looked at Jiang coldly.

  Jiang Yuanfeng waved his hand casually and said, "You've been in there for so long, I'm bored blocking the road, so I caught them. They're all very important people to you, right? What do you want to do? Either surrender or I'll kill them all."

  "Big brother, we will never surrender." Murong Qiang immediately raised his head with unyielding loyalty and righteousness.

  "You're really good at talking nonsense, shut up! Rui Xi and the others were all caught, Yuan Ye also lost his composure for a moment, "Jiang Yuanfeng, if you dare to move them, I'll make you wish you were dead."

  "Haha, you're not mistaken, are you?" Jiang Yuanfeng burst out laughing. "I admit that I'm no match for you now, but after all, you're still not the Martial Emperor. If you don't surrender, at worst, I'll kill them all and fly back to Gushan State. What can you do to me then?"

  Yuan Ye is formidable, but Yuan Ye can't fly. Jiang Yuanfeng isn't afraid of being killed by Yuan Ye because he can't be reached.

  "Roar!"

  At this moment, a beast roar, the small mixed ball that had not appeared suddenly rushed out of the forest, directly knocking down the two Wu Wang-level masters who were tied up with Rui Xi to the ground. One person's head was bitten off by the little rascal, and the other person was also pressed to death by the little rascal's front paws.

  Yuan Ye reacted even faster, his body suddenly transforming into a flash of lightning, and in an instant he rushed to Rui Xi's side, protecting Rui Xi behind him.

  "Yuan Ye, it seems you refuse to surrender. I'll see how many people you can save. Kill them all." Jiang Yuanfeng's face twisted in a fierce expression as he gave the order, and at the same time, he himself flew up into the air, ready to make his escape.

  "Ah~~~~" Little witch Xu Ying saw a sharp sword slashing directly towards her head, and she let out a terrified scream.

  "Wait!" Yuan Ye hastily stretched out his hand to stop him.

  Cen Sen, Xu Zijiang, Xu Ying, and Murong Qiang all looked at Yuan Ye. To be honest, they were friends with Yuan Ye, but they hadn't known him for long. In their twenty-plus years of life, who knows how many friends like Yuan Ye they had? Especially Murong Qiang, who had lived for thousands of years, didn't know how many people like Yuan Ye he had met. The most important thing was that Rui Xi was rescued, and everyone thought that Yuan Ye would no longer be threatened by Jiang Yuanfeng. After all, anyone knew that as long as Yuan Ye fell into Jiang Yuanfeng's hands, it would be a fate worse than death.

  "Cut it, old man," Yuan Ye spat out a mouthful of saliva, "Maybe in your eyes I'm just an expendable friend, on Earth, I have many friends that I've only known for a few months or a year. Who would die for them? But in this world, except for Xiaoxi, I only know you guys, every person needs all sorts of emotions, familial love, romantic love, friendship... but when I came to this godforsaken place, I lost all my relatives and friends, my emotions dried up, and thus I yearn even more to find these emotions again. Now that I have you guys, I consider you important people in my life. One life for four lives, it's worth it."

  "Brother Yao, I don't want to die!" Rui Xi hugged Yuan Yao and burst into tears.

  Cen Sen, Xu Zijiang, Xu Ying, and Murong Qiang all had moist eyes.

  "Brother Yuan..." Xu Ziying didn't know what to say anymore.

  "Brother Yuan, you've already saved my life once. If this time you die because of me, I'll never be at peace for the rest of my life. I only hope you can avenge me." Jian Sen was also in tears, trembling uncontrollably.

  "Big brother, from now on, I'll give you my body and soul. You can go, I won't die..." Xiaojun's nose started running as he cried loudly to the sky...

  The little witch just stared at Yuan Ye, her eyes moistening, but she didn't know what to do.

  "Clap, clap, clap!" A crisp applause erupted. Jiang Yuantong stood high above, clapping his hands, "Tsk, tsk, it's really moving! Yuan Ye, I don't have time to mess around with you. Either surrender or watch these guys die."

  "Jiang Yuanfeng, I can surrender, but you must let them all go and swear never to harm them again." Yuan Ye's gaze pierced through the sky at Jiang Yuanfeng.

  "Haha, you drink this and I can let them go now," said Jiang Yuanfeng as he tossed down a small ceramic bottle. Yuan Ye directly picked it up and drank it without any hesitation.

  "Brother Yuan, don't!" Xun Sen immediately wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

  "Why didn't you ask me what it was before drinking it?" Jiang Yuanfeng's face couldn't conceal his wild joy.

  "Hmph, it's fallen into your hands, I've already given up on living, I'm not even afraid of death, what's the point of worrying about all this."

  "With guts," Jiang Yuangong seemed to have already won, laughing loudly: "My subordinate Yin Yue told me that you are immune to all poisons, but I tell you, what I gave you to drink is not poison, but it's a hundred times more terrifying than poison. The name of this medicine is 'Devil's Madness', and in order to deal with your immunity to all poisons, I've been searching for a long time."

  "Madness!" Mu Rongqiang, Xu Zijun, and Cen Sen's faces changed dramatically upon hearing this. In this world, there were five great divine beasts and eight powerful demon beasts. Although the strongest of the eight demon beasts wasn't as strong as a beast king, they all possessed quasi-king level strength. Just like how a Qilin would shed its horn after death, this "Madness" was a toxic substance left behind by the demon beast Gu Qi after its death. Gu Qi's greatest hobby in life was slaughter; its territory was stained with blood, and it often invaded other powerful magical beasts' territories to satisfy its killing desires. After Gu Qi's death, it would leave behind some of its essence blood. If a person drank this blood, their murderous intent would increase exponentially, causing them to lose all reason and kill anyone they saw until they died from exhaustion. Gu Qi wasn't poisonous, nor was its blood; it was simply a catalyst for murderous intent.

  Yuan Ye had never heard of 'Devil's Brew', and even if he had, he would have drunk it anyway.

  "Can't you let them go?" Yuan Ye said coldly.

  "First, tie him up." Jiang Yuanfeng waved his hand, and two Wu Wang immediately went up with soft reed ropes. The soft reed rope was also a kind of treasure, extremely strong and tough, specially used to bind powerful masters like the Martial Emperor, and it was impossible to break free.

  "Die!" Yuan Ye's eyes suddenly turned cold with murderous intent, and he transformed his hand into a claw, directly twisting the neck of the Martial King.

  "Yuan Ye, what do you mean?" Jiang Yuanfeng roared.

  "Hmph, let them go first. I don't believe in your petty guarantees and oaths. If I were to surrender, you wouldn't let them go, would you? Wouldn't that be a miscarriage of justice?" Yuan Ye looked at Jiang Yuanfeng coldly and said, "I've already taken the medicine, are you still afraid I'll go back on my word?"

  "Alright, you should know that even if you regret it, I can still find opportunities to kill them. You won't be able to protect these people forever." Jiang Yuanfeng waved his hand and released those few Wu Wang's men, Cen Sen, Xu Zijiang, Xu Ying, and Murong Qiang.
