718: Chapter 714: A Bunch of Fools!
After Ye Xuong became a puppet, although he could still make sounds, they were all coming from inside his body, which were Sima Feng’s voice.
But this time, it was Ye Xuong’s own voice speaking!
Ye Tian watched Ye Xuong with astonishment.
Could it be that he had broken free from Sima Feng’s control and regained his senses?
“A puppet actually being able to speak, truly an eye-opener for me!”
Ye Zhirong couldn’t help but sigh.
He had been opposing the Sima Family for so many years and had never seen anyone regain consciousness under Sima Feng’s manipulation.
“That’s great, Ye Xuong has come to his senses!”
“You’re right!
How can mere Puppetry Technique be stronger than the human heart?
Ye Xuong has recovered, next time, we’ll go and settle the score with the Sima Family!”
“Now, there’s hope for our Night King Hall!”
…
The martial artists of Night King Hall, seeing Ye Xuong start to talk, were all excessively excited.
What martial artists hated the most was infighting.
As long as Ye Xuong was back to normal, the martial artists of Night King Hall could unite and face their enemies together!
“This is…great…cough, cough…”
“Yes…
Ye Xuong practices the Xuan Yun technique and is one of the Night King Hall’s main combat forces…
His recovery is better than anything…”
“Heh heh heh…
Sima Feng finally took a loss this time…”
The Ding brothers, who had been knocked down by Ye Xuong and were currently healing, also expressed their relief.
They, too, harbored a deep hatred for the Sima Family and wished nothing more than for their total annihilation!
“…”
Among everyone, only Ye Tian had a solemn expression on his face.
Because although Ye Xuong had started talking, his speech was extremely laboured.
It didn’t seem at all like he had thrown off the shackles of Sima Feng, but rather like a last burst of vitality before the end!
“Boss…
kill…
kill me…”
Ye Xuong trembled as he spoke, his words, to everyone’s shock, a plea for death.
“What are you talking about, Ye Xuong?
We’re brothers, how could the boss possibly kill you?”
“Right!
Ye Xuong, once you’re better, we’ll go settle things with the Sima Family.
How can you die?”
“Even if you were once controlled by someone, as long as you recover, you’re still Ye Xuong, the second-in-command of Night King Hall!”
…
The other martial artists were all at a loss for words at Ye Xuong’s speech, but none could see the inner turmoil Ye Xuong was facing.
“I can’t hold on much longer…
my will is about to vanish…
I don’t want to kill my brothers…
Boss…please kill me…”
Ye Xuong expressed his agony.
While speaking, tears streamed down his face.
A grown man, nine feet tall, was actually crying on the spot.
The martial artists around him were all touched by the sight.
Now, everyone knew that the only reason Ye Xuong could talk was that his willpower was forcing its way through.
But this state of his couldn’t last long.
Once Ye Xuong’s willpower failed, he would once again be controlled by Sima Feng and turn back into a killing machine!
“Heh heh heh~~~~~A puppet, as lowly as ants, dares to resist my power!
I want to see how long you can hold out!”
Inside Ye Xuong’s body, Sima Feng’s voice erupted once more.
Ye Xuong’s body trembled even more fiercely.
From the surface of Ye Xuong’s body, everyone could feel a powerful force.
This force was exactly what Sima Feng had infused into Ye Xuong’s body.
Sima Feng intended to use this force to take control of Ye Xuong once again!
“Kid, you can’t wait any longer!
Ye Xuong can’t hold on!
While he’s still conscious now, strike and kill him.
It will be a release for him!
Any delay, and once Sima Feng has infused all his power into Ye Xuong’s body, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
Behind Ye Tian, Ye Zhirong kept urging him.
“…”
And Ye Tian, undecided, just clenched his fists tightly.
“Please…
kill me…
Boss…
grant me this…”
Ye Xuong begged with the last bit of his willpower, while the martial artists of Night King Hall around him were all in disarray, and some began to cry…
“Boss!
Go ahead and do it!
It’s better to give Ye Xuong peace than to let him suffer like this!”
“We will definitely avenge Ye Xuong against the Sima Family!”
“Boss, if you kill Ye Xuong with a single palm strike, he won’t blame you!”
…
The martial artists of Night King Hall all tried to persuade him collectively, each deeply affected by Ye Xuong’s predicament, heartache filling them for their brother’s suffering.
But things had reached this point, and aside from striking down Ye Xuong in one blow, there truly was no other solution.
The Ding brothers, however, remained silent.
The three were healing their wounds.
Moreover, having joined Night King Hall not long ago, they felt they had no place to judge matters of life and death.
“Kid, do it now.
If you wait any longer, it’ll be too late!”
Ye Zhirong kept pushing Ye Tian, who just stared straight at Ye Xuong.
Ye Xuong still retained a sliver of consciousness!
“Ye Xuong, do you truly wish for death?”
Ye Tian questioned, and Ye Xuong naturally gave an honest reply.
“Yes…
Boss…
kill me…
and then avenge me…”
Ye Xuong struggled to speak, and at that moment, the Red Spider also arrived by Ye Tian’s side.
“Boss, end Ye Xuong’s life!
Rather than letting him suffer like this, it would be better to give him release!
I, Red Spider, swear to the heavens, this vengeance shall not go unavenged even if it makes me less than human!”
Red Spider was Ye Xuong’s mistress, and their affection for each other was deep.
Therefore, she had a say in the matter of Ye Xuong’s life and death.
“Thank you…”
Ye Xuong expressed his gratitude for Red Spider’s words, and Ye Tian also slowly nodded his head.
“I understand, Ye Xuong!”
Following that, Ye Tian swung his palm, on which he began to muster the full strength of his body.
Within this force were the force of nature of the Mystical Cloud Technique, the power absorbed from the Spirit Vein of Jiang City, the Power of Life absorbed from the wooden saber, and the Power of Death absorbed from crystals and golden horns…
All sorts of forces were melding together!
If it had been before, Ye Tian surely wouldn’t have been able to gather so much power all at once, but with the enlightenment of Ye Zhirong, Ye Tian had already tried to use fusion to integrate all his internal forces together.
All these forces did not repel each other, but supported one another, bringing the strength to an unprecedented level!
“Zzzt!” “Zzzt!”…
Above Ye Tian’s palm, lightning lingered, and one could sense the powerful energy in his hand just from sight alone.
Facing such power, even if Ye Xuong had been turned into a puppet, it would likely be hard for him to resist…
“Take this!”
Saying so, Ye Tian lunged forward, swinging his palm fiercely towards Ye Xuong’s chest.
At this time, Ye Xuong had not yet fallen under Sima Feng’s control, so he naturally did not resist, but rather closed his eyes to await death…
“Boom!”
Ye Tian’s palm landed heavily on Ye Xuong’s chest, producing a violent sound.
Everyone believed that after taking this hit, Ye Xuong’s meridians would be completely shattered, and his internal organs would be pulverized.
But after taking the palm strike, Ye Xuong’s body did not move an inch, and there was no sign of injury on him.
In other words, Ye Tian’s mighty palm strike was all thunder and no rain…
“Boss…
what are you doing…”
Ye Xuong, who most clearly understood what Ye Tian was doing, found that instead of killing him, the palm strike had infused him with a warm force.
This palm was not for harming but for saving!
“Boy, what are you trying to do?”
Seeing this, Ye Zhirong was also puzzled, as Ye Tian’s behavior had exceeded his expectations.
But Ye Tian just smiled and said, “Mr.
Ye, you told me if my own force surpassed Sima Feng’s force, Ye Xuong would be saved!
So this time, I want to give it a try!”
“You…”
Of course, Ye Zhirong did not agree with Ye Tian’s actions, as what Ye Tian was doing was undoubtedly like a moth flying into a flame.
With such a disparity in strength between Ye Tian and Sima Feng, how could Ye Tian’s force ever surpass Sima Feng’s?
Was this not a fool’s dream?
However, even though Ye Zhirong knew that Ye Tian was acting foolishly, he did not blame him.
Instead, he placed his palm against Ye Tian’s body.
“Mr.
Ye, what are you doing?”
Ye Tian, surprised at the ceaseless flow of force entering his body, asked in astonishment.
Ye Zhirong sighed and said, “You’re a little fool, and now I’ve become an old fool.
Today, if we can’t save Ye Xuong, we are both likely to die!
So why should I be stingy with a little power?
Let’s give it all to you!”
“Thank you, Mr.
Ye!”
Ye Tian expressed his gratitude.
At this moment, Ye Xuong still retained some consciousness.
Knowing Ye Tian and Ye Zhirong were trying to save him, he sat cross-legged and allowed their force to pour into his body.
“Hahahaha~~~~~~~~~~~~Thinking of dissolving my Puppetry Technique?
Stop joking!
My Sima Feng’s Puppetry Technique is not so easily resolved.
You two pigs, doing this, are undoubtedly courting your own doom!”
From within Ye Xuong’s body, Sima Feng roared.
As he roared, Ye Xuong’s body gradually began to tremble, as Sima Feng was slowly regaining control over Ye Xuong’s body.
“I feel terrible…
Boss…
I…
just kill me…”
Ye Xuong pleaded in pain; rather than be controlled by someone else, it was better to end it all.
Thus, the desire for death ignited once more in Ye Xuong’s heart.
But Ye Tian sternly said, “Ye Xuong, without my command, you must not speak lightly of life and death!
If you still acknowledge me as your boss, then hold the Silent Qi of the Nether God and stop thinking about other things!”
No matter what, Ye Xuong’s admiration for Ye Tian was absolute, so when Ye Tian ordered him to close his eyes and concentrate, Ye Xuong dared not say another word.
He immediately closed his eyes and began regulating his breath.
Yet, within Ye Xuong’s body, Sima Feng’s power was incredibly tenacious, far beyond something Ye Xuong could suppress alone…
Even with Ye Tian and Ye Zhirong desperately trying to dissolve the power of Sima Feng within Ye Xuong’s body, it was still to no avail.
