878: Chapter 874: Severely Wounded!
“Hmph, hmph, hmph~~~ Angry?
But this is reality!
In the Martial Arts World teeming with the strong, the weak not only have no right to decide their life or death, but they also cannot even protect their closest loved ones!”
“Ye Tian, if you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck!
In front of me, you have no right to survive!”
Wu Weizi sneered coldly.
Ye Tian’s fury, to him, wasn’t even worth mentioning!
“…”
Ye Tian stayed silent.
This was the first time he faced an opponent like Wu Weizi.
As expected from the Sect Leader of Tianmen.
At this moment, Wu Weizi, after absorbing enough wind energy, had transformed entirely into wind itself, leaving not the slightest trace of vulnerability.
Ye Tian hadn’t yet found a way to counter Wu Weizi’s techniques…
“Die!”
Wu Weizi roared, and once again lunged toward Ye Tian.
Ye Tian dared not be careless.
The powerful energy surrounding Wu Weizi’s body was so overwhelming that confronting him head-on would only result in severe injuries.
Thus, in the face of Wu Weizi’s ferocious onslaught, Ye Tian’s only option was to swiftly dodge…
“Swish!”
Ye Tian tapped lightly with the tip of his toe, instantly leaping into the air, leaving Wu Weizi striking empty air.
“Hm!
Just petty tricks!”
Watching Ye Tian evade his attack, Wu Weizi sneered coldly.
He too lightly tapped with his toe, rising to the same altitude as Ye Tian.
“Kid, don’t think that your Qinggong skills can help you dodge my attacks!”
With that, Wu Weizi rushed ferociously toward Ye Tian.
“He can fly!?”
Ye Tian was stunned.
Wu Weizi had not displayed flying techniques earlier, so Ye Tian had initially assumed Wu Weizi couldn’t fly.
But on second thought, with both Sima Feng and Sima Yun of Tianmen capable of flight, it was only natural for Wu Weizi, the Sect Leader, to possess such skills as well.
Suspended mid-air, Ye Tian had become a living target.
Compared to Ye Tian, Wu Weizi, who could fly freely in the air, was far more agile!
Seeing Wu Weizi about to strike, Ye Tian had no choice but to use every available support.
He spotted a falling leaf nearby and lightly tapped it with his toe.
“Snap!”
With a crisp sound, Ye Tian’s figure soared another several meters upward, narrowly avoiding Wu Weizi’s menacing attack!
“Oh?
He has such abilities?”
Wu Weizi was momentarily stunned.
Though Ye Tian couldn’t use flying techniques, his agility in the air was almost comparable to Wu Weizi’s free flight.
Facing Ye Tian’s dexterity, Wu Weizi remained utterly disdainful!
“Still, relying solely on clever tricks won’t defeat me—it guarantees no chance of victory!”
Wu Weizi laughed sinisterly and refrained from recklessly attacking Ye Tian again, instead gathering power throughout his body.
“Kid, try taking this move of mine!”
As he spoke, Wu Weizi’s internal energy erupted all at once, transforming into several dragon tornadoes that surged toward Ye Tian!
One, two, three, four…
Ye Tian couldn’t count the number of dragon tornadoes rushing toward him.
He could vividly sense the overwhelming force and energy contained within each tornado!
Even for someone like Ye Tian, withstanding such an attack head-on was impossible.
Thus, he once again had to use borrowed force.
He tapped his toe on the dust beneath him, propelling himself several meters higher off the ground to evade the incoming dragon tornadoes.
“Fool!
No matter how you borrow force, you won’t be able to escape my attack!”
Wu Weizi mocked, waving his hand.
Instantly, under his control, the dragon tornadoes changed direction, charging straight for Ye Tian.
“Damn!”
No matter how adept Ye Tian was at Qinggong, no matter how agile he was in borrowing force mid-air, he couldn’t compare to the controlled dragon tornadoes.
Suddenly, tornadoes closed in on Ye Tian from the front, back, left, right, above, and below.
He had no way to dodge…
With no other choice, Ye Tian curled his body into a tight ball to protect his vital parts…
“Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The tornadoes carried immense power, and upon colliding with Ye Tian’s body, unleashed a violent explosion, roaring thunderously!
The entire mountainside trembled from the shockwaves of the explosion…
Martial Artists engaged in battle nearby had their attention drawn by the blast, causing them all to stop and look toward the sky…
“Boss!!”
“The Boss got hit!”
“Boss, how could this happen?”
The Ding brothers saw Ye Tian struck and cried out in alarm.
The explosion was so intense—Ye Tian, at the epicenter, might not survive!
After a while, the dust from the explosion dissipated, and a lone figure floated down from the air.
It was Ye Tian!
“Thud!”
The violent explosion had thrown Ye Tian off balance, causing him to crash heavily into the ground.
“Hehehe~~~ That kid is done for!”
Wu Weizi sneered, gracefully descending from the air.
“Taking a direct hit from the Sect Leader’s ultimate technique—it’s impossible to survive!
This boy’s life ends here!”
Even Daichong, locked in combat with Ye Zhihuan, smugly added.
Judging by the previous strike, Ye Tian’s death seemed inevitable.
However, Ye Zhihuan had a different perspective!
“Daichong, what do you know as a mere bystander?
Ye Tian is not someone who dies easily.
He has survived battles against opponents many times stronger!
Back then, the Ye family’s divine beast Pixiu could only stalemate him.
Such a trivial explosive attack cannot kill him!”
Ye Zhihuan said calmly.
Having spent time with Ye Tian, he understood his resilience quite well.
Ye Tian thrives under pressure.
Even against overwhelmingly strong opponents, he refuses to sit idle!
His vitality is as tenacious as a cockroach; Wu Weizi’s attack cannot possibly kill him…
As Ye Zhihuan defended Ye Tian, Ye Tian lay on the soft soil.
The violent blast had left Ye Tian’s entire body feeling as though it had fallen apart.
Though physically robust, the ordeal was far from pleasant.
Fortunately, the ground he landed on was exceptionally soft.
Fortunately, his body was shielded by various protective energies within him, sparing him from catastrophic injury…
Yet, no matter the circumstances, another similar attack would likely bring about his demise!
Inwardly, Ye Tian began sensing the looming threat of death…
“Shu Xin, if it were you at this moment, what would you do?”
Ye Tian reached a hand toward the heavens, confusion filling his heart.
The Sect Leader Wu Weizi possessed immense power.
If Ye Tian had only just stepped into the Innate Realm, then Wu Weizi had undoubtedly reached its pinnacle.
In terms of strength and technique, Ye Tian held no advantage.
Battling Wu Weizi almost certainly spelled doom for him.
Yet, even so, Ye Tian couldn’t afford to give up.
He had to save the brothers from Night King Hall controlled by Sima Yun, and stand up for Tianmen’s outer disciples.
There was no way he could die here!
What Ye Tian lacked now was someone to talk to…
In the past, Ye Tian would always exchange words with Shu Xin and discuss strategies in moments of crisis.
But now, though he had received the vital energy from Shu Xin, he had lost the millennium ancient tree’s heart—his cherished confidant and ally—a bitter loss.
While Ye Tian was feeling despondent, a voice suddenly echoed within his mind—
“To use his path, return his method upon him.
Kid, isn’t this your greatest skill?”
“Shu Xin?”
Ye Tian called out in surprise, but quickly realized the voice wasn’t from the dormant Shu Xin—it was his own imagination speaking.
How amusing, for him to hallucinate now, after sustaining such serious injuries…
Ye Tian chuckled bitterly, then staggered to his feet!
At this moment, Ye Tian’s clothes were shredded by the violent explosion, and his skin bore countless wounds from the blast, leaving him severely injured.
Some of his scars were so deep that bone showed, fresh blood continuously seeping out…
If not for Ye Tian’s incredibly strong physique, the explosion would have reduced him to fragments.
Though he hadn’t perished, he now barely had the strength to fight.
Wu Weizi slowly approached Ye Tian, sneering coldly, “Ye Tian, just give up.
Stop your hopeless resistance.
The difference in strength between us is so obvious.
If you persist in fighting, it will only add to your pain.”
Faced with Wu Weizi’s threat, Ye Tian remained unmoved…
“Give up?
Don’t make me laugh!
Wu Weizi, in all my life, no matter how powerful the opponent, I have never given up!”
“Because I know very well, I am not alone in the fight.
Behind me are my loyal brothers, and my loved ones who depend on me.
I fight for them.
Their faith in me is my greatest motivation!”
“I won’t die, Wu Weizi.
I have more and bigger things to accomplish.
If I can’t even overcome the hurdle of Tianmen today, what future would I have?”
Ye Tian declared resolutely, his words naturally inflaming Wu Weizi’s fury!
“Boy, your stubbornness is idiocy!
This time, don’t blame me for leaving not even a scrap of your body behind!”
Wu Weizi, as Tianmen’s Sect Leader, was accustomed to absolute authority.
Over his decades of commanding arrogance, Ye Tian was the first person he’d encountered so unyielding.
But he couldn’t tolerate this defiance.
Ye Tian had touched Wu Weizi’s reverse scale—anger surged within him.
This attack was not just revenge for Long Shaoye; it was to restore his dignity!
“Ye Tian, go to hell!”
Wu Weizi roared, and countless dragon tornadoes erupted from within his body once more.
