714: Chapter 710: Formidable Power!
The three brothers were bound by blood, so when they joined forces against an enemy, their coordination was seamless, each move following another, each more powerful than the last, striking precisely at the enemy’s weak spots and leaving the enemy overwhelmed!
Ye Tian had previously witnessed the Ding brothers’ battle formation when they jointly faced Zhang Bo, but at that time he hadn’t seen it clearly enough…
However, today, Ye Tian had completely grasped the intricacies of this battle formation, which was truly intricate and boundlessly clever!
Although the Ding brothers were not particularly strong on their own, their combined formation allowed them to contend with powerful opponents, indeed a cause for amazement!
Ye Tian reckoned that if the Ding brothers used this battle formation against him with all their might, he too would be hard-pressed to counter…
But even when the Ding brothers gave their all to trap Ye Xuong with their formation, Ye Xuong remained utterly unflustered!
Ye Tian clearly saw that Ye Xuong was already employing the Cultivation Technique of Xuan Cloud!
From around Ye Xuong’s body, Ye Tian could faintly sense a mist of Qi enfolding Ye Xuong, and although it was weak, it shrouded his body completely.
As the Ding brothers attacked Ye Xuong together, Ye Xuong could withstand the frontal assaults of Ding Da, and for Ding Er and Ding San’s pincer attack from the sides, he chose to dodge and counter their feints.
For a time, the Ding brothers couldn’t gain any advantage over Ye Xuong!
“Boom!”
The palms of Ding Er and Ding San struck Ye Xuong’s waist simultaneously, but as soon as they made contact with his body, they felt a powerful rebounding force!
“Aaargh~~~~~”
“Aaah————”
Ding Er and Ding San were both sent flying by the force of Ye Xuong’s rebound, tumbling onto the lawn.
Seeing this, Ding Da had no choice but to muster all of his skills to engage in battle with Ye Xuong…
“Smack smack smack smack smack smack smack smack~~~~~~~”
Ding Da and Ye Xuong’s palms clashed together, and in terms of technique, the two were evenly matched, thus resulting in a fight where neither bested the other.
However, this supposed “even match” was somewhat misleading!
Because Ye Xuong’s Inner Strength was much stronger than Ding Da’s, so while the first few exchanges were manageable for Ding Da, after the fourth move, he became increasingly overpowered…
“Bang!”
After a single palm strike exchange with Ye Xuong, Ding Da was sent staggering back several meters while Ye Xuong remained immobile, clearly revealing the disparity in their Inner Strength.
“Don’t get cocky!”
“Take this!”
Ding Er and Ding San, seeing their elder brother faltering, suppressed the discomfort in their flow of Qi and flanked Ye Xuong from both sides, entangling him in battle.
And Ye Xuong, utterly indifferent to their joint assault, parried Ding Er with his left hand and Ding San with his right, neither brother able to so much as graze Ye Xuong’s clothing…
“What in the world is happening?”
Ye Tian supported Ding Da, who was at a disadvantage after the palm exchange with Ye Xuong, and inquired carefully.
A bitter look crossed Ding Da’s face as he shook his head, “Boss, Ye Xuong has mastered the Xuan Cloud Technique, but as soon as he did, he lost his mind, no longer resembling himself!
It seems he is under someone else’s control…”
After speaking, Ding Da lunged at Ye Xuong again, joining Ding Er and Ding San in besieging him!
Though Ding Da’s words were few, Ye Tian heard them loud and clear!
Ye Xuong had become Sima Feng’s puppet!
“So it has happened so quickly!”
Ye Tian clenched his fist in anger, his hatred for Sima Feng deepening further.
Not long ago, he and Ye Zhirong had united against Sima Feng, and though they ultimately fled in disarray, Sima Feng himself had been wounded.
Unexpectedly, even injured, Sima Feng was still capable of controlling puppets with ease, and the puppet he controlled was none other than Ye Xuong, the second-in-command of Night King Hall.
Ye Xuong’s role in Night King Hall was self-evident; otherwise, why would Ye Tian impart to him the profound method of the Xuan Cloud Technique, which utilized the force of nature?
“Moreover, that guy Sima Feng is no longer trying to hide, he’s probably acting out of anger, isn’t he?”
Ye Tian muttered to himself, pondering Sima Feng’s intentions.
By controlling Ye Xuong, he then killed Zhang Bo, but for someone like Sima Feng, controlling Ye Xuong was not just about killing a treacherous housekeeper.
If one wanted to kill someone inside Night King Hall, Sima Feng could easily manipulate others, which would be much simpler than controlling Ye Xuong!
The reason for choosing Ye Xuong was that his status in Night King Hall was second only to Ye Tian.
By controlling him, Sima Feng could undoubtedly obtain more information from the hall…
Knowing this, both Ye Tian and the other Martial Artists in Night King Hall turned a blind eye to Ye Xuong’s strange behavior and didn’t attempt to rescue him, trying to convince Sima Feng that no one was aware of the manipulation of Ye Xuong.
Thus, everyone had more time to consider how to break the Puppetry Technique affecting Ye Xuong…
But now, Sima Feng could no longer hold back his fury.
After Ye Xuong had mastered his Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique, Sima Feng let him cause a great disturbance in the Night King Hall.
Ye Tian pondered that perhaps Sima Feng was unhappy because he and Ye Zhirong had injured Sima Feng but managed to leave unscathed, which led Sima Feng to such extremes!
“What happened to Ye Xuong?
He shouldn’t possess such strong power, right?”
“It seems like someone is controlling him!
He’s just like the puppets we’ve encountered before!”
“In that case, isn’t Ye Xuong in great danger?
Is there any way to save him?”
“That’s unknown!
All we can say is, the person controlling the puppets, is truly despicable!”
…
The martial artists of the Night King Hall all rushed to the backyard to witness the battle between Ye Xuong and the Ding brothers, and they engaged in lively discussions.
The strength Ye Xuong now possessed made all the martial artists sigh in admiration…
Everyone knew that Ye Xuong temporarily handed over his affairs to the Vampire Dracula to handle because he needed to cultivate a formidable Cultivation Technique without any distractions.
However, no matter the Cultivation Technique, it’s unlikely to unleash its full power just after being mastered!
The prowess of the Ding brothers was clear to all the martial artists.
Within the Night King Hall, only the eldest, Ye Tian, was stronger than the Ding brothers…
Yet now, Ye Xuong was single-handedly fighting the three Ding brothers and even gaining the upper hand…
His strength had improved to such a degree!
“Boss, I’m afraid the Ding brothers won’t last much longer.
Shall we have our men join the fight?”
At Ye Tian’s side, Dracula suggested cautiously.
The martial artists of the Night King Hall had all gathered in the backyard, each of them a top-notch expert.
Even if, individually, they couldn’t defeat Ye Xuong, if they all attacked together, surely Ye Xuong wouldn’t be able to beat so many at once?
“Hold your horses!
The Ding brothers are prideful fighters.
They are teaming up against an enemy; we should not intervene,”
Ye Tian waved his hand and said.
Knowing the Ding brothers well, Ye Tian dismissed Dracula’s suggestion.
Although the strengths of the Ding brothers weren’t top-tier, they had their pride, especially when they were working together to resist an opponent, any rash assistance would only make them feel disrespected…
“Understood.”
Dracula said politely; of course, he could not go against Ye Tian’s wishes, and like the other martial artists, he could only watch anxiously as the Ding brothers fought against Ye Xuong.
After acquiring the Xuan Yun Cultivation Technique, Ye Xuong’s Inner Strength had greatly increased, as had his stamina, which had become very different from before.
The Ding brothers, not wanting to look too feeble in front of the fellow martial artists, all clenched their teeth in frustration and fought valiantly against Ye Xuong.
Ding Da, Ding Er, and Ding San formed a tight encirclement, trapping Ye Xuong within!
The brothers brought their “Wind Flow Strength” Cultivation Technique to its limit, each move and strike brimming with boundless force.
Gradually, the entire backyard was swept by fierce winds.
Although it wasn’t as strong as the force of nature that Sima Feng could summon, the power of the Ding brothers was still enough to awe the other martial artists.
“The brothers’ power seems to have increased since their fight with Zhang Bo!”
“Yes!
With such vigorous strength, perhaps they really can suppress Ye Xuong.”
“I’m not so sure; I reckon both sides are evenly matched!”
…
Because the intense winds stirred up by the Ding brothers were obstructing the view, the martial artists couldn’t directly see the outcome of the battle, leaving everyone to speculate.
“Pop pop pop pop pop~~~~~~”
Only the crisp sounds of their fierce exchange hinted at the intensity, and the whole estate started to shake during the combat, as if a minor earthquake had struck.
“…”
Out of everyone present, only Ye Tian could actually see the exchange between the Ding brothers and Ye Xuong.
Ye Tian, with his clairvoyant ability, could see clearly even at the heart of the tempest where the Ding brothers and Ye Xuong were.
The Ding brothers had already given their all and landed heavy blows repeatedly.
Ye Xuong focused on defending against Ding Da’s attacks, allowing Ding Er and Ding San to find their chances, so he ended up taking several hits from Ding Er and Ding San…
Yet even so, Ye Xuong did not show any signs of defeat.
After taking the heavy blows from Ding Er and Ding San, he didn’t even flinch.
From within Ye Xuong, Ye Tian could distinctly sense that the Cultivation Technique he was using was not just the Xuan Yun Technique…
Before encountering Ye Tian, Ye Xuong had already acquired the Power of Death, which is a part of the force of nature, though at that time, Ye Xuong was not yet able to fully control it.
Now, after cultivating the Xuan Yun Technique, Ye Xuong, while clashing with the Ding brothers, began to use the Power of Death subconsciously, and when he did, there was no disruption — it effectively supplemented his strength.
