Chapter 1034: Chapter 1030: Ye Tian Arrives
“Just a few days ago, Tian Liu fell for your trick, got captured, and then divulged some intel about our clan members. After he returned, he confessed everything to the elders, and they didn’t blame him! Compared to Tian Liu, Tian Qi, don’t you feel ashamed?”
Tian Er questioned coldly, his voice leaving Tian Qi unable to respond and without room to retort…
Indeed, I am a traitor to the Black Hole Clan, but the elders have been overly lenient to me, haven’t they?
Not only was I spared from being hunted down, but even Tian Liu, who revealed a lot of information to me, escaped unscathed. What is going on here?
Unlike Tian Liu and Tian Er, Tian Qi, being a woman, has a very strong intuition. She won’t change her belief that the elders are not benevolent!
“The elders spared me and Tian Liu not out of kindness, but for other purposes! Tian Er, I’m not as foolish as you!”
Tian Qi said resolutely, and upon hearing that, Tian Er scoffed.
“How ridiculous, making excuses for yourself! Well then, don’t blame me for being rude! I want to see who’s really foolish, you or me!”
Tian Er said arrogantly. Having concluded Tian Qi as a traitor, he naturally had no intentions of holding back.
With a twist of the Power of Death inside him, Tian Er’s body shot towards Tian Qi like an arrow!
The speed was so fast that others could only see a dark shadow…
“Qiqi, be careful!”
“That guy is very strong!”
…
The martial artists of Night King Hall couldn’t help but shout.
Even though Tian Qi is a member of the Black Hole Clan and hasn’t joined Night King Hall, she has been living with the martial artists day and night during this time, and everyone has grown close, like family.
Therefore, when Tian Er attacked Tian Qi, everyone was worried for her…
This Tian Er had beaten even Ye Xuong to complete submission, Tian Qi would have a hard time dealing with him.
“Whoosh~~~~”
Facing Tian Er’s fierce attack, Tian Qi naturally couldn’t be careless. She immediately summoned the Power of Death inside her, and her movement speed became exceedingly swift.
Tian Er’s attack missed its target…
“Hehe~~~~”
But Tian Er didn’t lose heart; he pressed his advantage, continuing the attack, and in a flash, the second strike was upon her!
Tian Qi could only desperately dodge, avoiding Tian Er’s strikes that threatened to wound her body…
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~~~”
In the crowd, a gust of wind suddenly arose, not produced by the Wind Flow Strength cultivation technique, but from the movement speed of Tian Er and Tian Qi.
For the martial artists of Night King Hall, it was the first time witnessing such fast exchanges between the two, only able to see two dark shadows flashing around, unable to tell who was who, let alone whether punches or kicks were being used!
The speed of Tian Er and Tian Qi was astonishing!
As the wind noise grew louder, their movement speed increased, making all the martial artists worried for Tian Qi yet unable to do anything.
In an instant, Tian Er and Tian Qi had already exchanged dozens of rounds.
Most martial artists couldn’t see how they were fighting; only strong-sighted ones like Ye Xuong could discern some details.
“Miss Qiqi attacks less and defends more; in the following moves, she couldn’t possibly counterattack. It looks like she won’t last much longer!”
Ye Xuong sighed, though he didn’t want to see such a situation, the reality could not be changed.
Thus, the battle between Tian Qi and Tian Er could only depend on luck…
“Bang!”
A clear sound indicated that someone had been hit.
Following the sound, one of the dark shadows slowed down, and everyone finally saw the figure—wasn’t it Tian Qi?
After being hit, Tian Qi’s movement speed naturally decreased, forcing her to slow down…
Although it was just one strike, it landed at a time when she was fighting at full strength, leaving Tian Qi unable to muster her Inner Strength to resist. Thus, the strike was quite damaging.
“Puff!”
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Tian Qi’s lips, showing that her injury was serious.
“Qiqi, how are you?”
“Qiqi! Hang in there!”
…
The martial artists of Night King Hall gathered around. Since Tian Qi was beautiful and skilled in martial arts, she had long become the idolized figure among the martial artists, so seeing her injured made everyone especially concerned.
“I’m fine…”
Tian Qi waved his hand, indicating that everyone shouldn’t worry, but his condition truly didn’t look fine at all. After taking a hit from Tian Er, his whole being seemed utterly drained.
As for Tian Er, who struck Tian Qi, he no longer moved at high speed. His figure settled, appearing before everyone.
“Tian Qi, I didn’t expect you could tangle with me for so long, I really underestimated you! But, how could someone who hasn’t even reached the Innate Realm possibly fight me, a Martial Artist who’s close to reaching the Heavenly Person Realm?”
Tian Er’s words were indifferent, showing no regard for Tian Qi.
Just as Tian Er said, the power gap between Tian Qi and himself was evident!
Tian Qi’s strength had barely touched the threshold of the Innate Realm, but had not yet crossed it, while Tian Er had long reached the Innate Realm and was nearing the Heavenly Person Realm.
With such a significant power disparity, Tian Qi naturally couldn’t be a match for Tian Er. Lasting for dozens of moves under Tian Er’s hand had already been his limit!
All the Martial Artists felt a suffocating Power of Death exuding from Tian Er. This Power of Death made them realize the gap between them and Tian Er was indescribable in words.
Facing such an opponent, everyone feared they had no chance of winning…
“Hahahaha~~~~~ Weren’t you all going to take me on just now? What happened? Now you’re all like deflated balloons?”
Tian Er also sensed the dispiritedness of the Martial Artists at Night King Hall, and immediately sneered.
Yet, Night King Hall’s Martial Artists, including Tian Qi, dared not express any grievance against Tian Er’s sarcasm, only listening quietly.
Tian Er walked step by step towards Tian Qi, coldly saying, “Tian Qi, you’re a traitor of the Black Hole Clan, I’ll start with you! After killing you, I’ll take out the rest of these Martial Artists as a burial for you!”
Tian Qi’s expression was grave. Although life and death were just moments away, he showed no fear but instead inquired calmly, “Tian Er, have you been guarding this city all this time?”
“So what if I have? To me, the elders’ orders are absolute! Although I don’t know the real purpose behind the elders having me guard this city!”
Tian Er said casually, even though he was one of the top figures among the thirteen guards, he didn’t know the elders’ true intentions.
Because Tian Er spent most of his time guarding the southern city, he and Tian Qi had few chances to meet, only seeing each other on celebration days.
It seemed understandable that Tian Er knew nothing of Night King Hall’s existence or the profound arts and the Power of the Clouds.
“You’ve been kept in the dark all this time, Tian Er, you truly are pitiable!”
Tian Qi sighed and said, his words thoroughly angering Tian Er.
“I’m pitiable? Tian Qi, you’re about to die and you dare call me pitiable? Alright then, let this pitiable guy smash your skull today!”
In fury, Tian Er’s heavy palm struck straight toward the top of Tian Qi’s head, this strike carrying no restraint, and it seemed Tian Qi’s head would be shattered by Tian Er…
“Slap!”
A hand abruptly caught Tian Er’s palm, shocking him; his swift attack was intercepted midway by an unexpected intruder!
“Who are you?”
Tian Er glared furiously at the newcomer, a new face, not one of the previous Martial Artists.
“Who am I? You dare hurt my brother, I won’t let you go!”
The newcomer said through gritted teeth, though with just a few words, his tone carried a suffocating murderous aura!
This person was none other than the leader of Night King Hall—Ye Tian!
“Boss, you finally arrived! We’ve been waiting for you a long time!”
“Yeah! Boss! This guy is really strong, we couldn’t beat him no matter what! Luckily you’re here!”
“With you here, this guy certainly won’t be a match!”
…
The appearance of Ye Tian made all the Martial Artists cheer joyfully.
However, Ye Tian ignored his brothers’ cheers and Tian Er in front of him. He glanced at Tian Qi, softly saying, “Qiqi, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Ye Tian. Tian Er is very powerful, don’t underestimate him!”
Tian Qi said softly, then stepped back, leaving space for Ye Tian and Tian Er’s battle.
“Let go of me!”
Tian Er furiously broke free from Ye Tian’s hand. When Ye Tian grabbed him just now, he felt numbness in his palm, his energy and blood not flowing smoothly, showing Ye Tian’s Inner Strength was unmatched by other Martial Artists!
“So you’re the boss of these guys, why didn’t you act earlier?”
Tian Er asked coldly while rubbing his palm.
Ye Tian laughed and said, “I went shopping just now, so I was late. I didn’t expect my brothers to be bullied by you this badly!”
In fact, Ye Tian initially did not participate in his brothers’ actions in the southern city market!
After all, the brothers from Night King Hall causing trouble in the market was just a diversion in this plan. Ye Tian had most of Night King Hall’s Martial Artists cause a disturbance in the southern city market, thus diverting others’ attention.
