827: Chapter 823: Infighting in Heaven’s Gate 827: Chapter 823: Infighting in Heaven’s Gate Ye Zhicang’s face displayed an expression of resolute determination.
He said, “Clan Leader, if the skin no longer exists, how can the hair cling to it?
You and Ye Tian are heading to Tianshan—how could I possibly rest easy at home while nursing my injuries?
So this time, whether you stop me or not, I will go with you!”
“Alright, Ye Zhicang, we’ll go together!”
Ye Zhihuan couldn’t help but sigh and said, as he knew he could not dissuade someone whose mind was already made up.
Ye Tian expressed his gratitude, saying, “Ye Clan Elders, this time, both I and the martial artists of Night King Hall deeply appreciate your support!
I hope the friendship between the Ye Clan and Night King Hall endures forever, everlasting through time!”
Having settled their plans, the group began packing their belongings…
The next day, the group boarded a train heading from Lianghe Town to Tianshan City!
Tianshan City lies at the foot of Tianshan and is the necessary route for ascending the mountain.
However, the city itself is very small, so small that it doesn’t even have an airport; thus, the only way to reach Tianshan City is by train.
The group rode in a soft sleeper compartment.
Each cabin contained four beds, and with Ye Tian and the other four slightly squeezing in, they managed to fit in…
The trip to Tianshan was fraught with uncertainty, so everyone kept a low profile, huddling within their cabin and rarely stepping outside.
For meals, they had the train attendants deliver food directly to their cabin…
During one meal, Ye Zhihuan said cautiously, “It will take three days to reach Tianshan City by train.
During this time, it’s best to stay safely within the cabin to avoid unnecessary trouble!”
Ye Zhiran added, “That’s right!
The closer we get to Tianshan City, the more martial artists we’ll encounter.
While their skills vary greatly, provoking them serves no purpose.
It’s better to turn a blind eye.
Our goal is to ascend Tianshan, not waste time on petty conflicts here.”
Ye Zhirong agreed, “Indeed.
Our current priority is to rest and gather strength.
On this train, it’s best not to poke the hornet’s nest.”
Among the Ye Clan Elders, only Ye Zhicang remained silent, even as he ate.
He consistently sat cross-legged, focusing on circulating his energy and recovering from internal injuries.
Observing Ye Zhicang’s expression, Ye Tian could tell his internal wounds would heal soon, so he refrained from using silver needles for treatment…
The first day on the train passed without incident.
On the second day, however, the group began hearing a clamorous argument from outside their cabin!
“You shameless Zhao Sixi!
How dare you hog the Wind Flow Strength cultivation technique for yourself!”
“Utter nonsense!
I haven’t even seen the Wind Flow Strength technique!
Li Hui, stop slandering me!”
“Don’t think denying it will spare you, Zhao Sixi.
Someone witnessed you leaving Biyao Palace.
Without being an Inner Sect Disciple, you wouldn’t even have been allowed in!”
“I’ve never been to Biyao Palace!
If someone claims they saw me, bring them forward—I want to confront them face to face!”
“A confrontation?
That person’s likely been silenced by you!
If I were you, I’d kill them, too, to cover my tracks while hogging the cultivation technique!”
“I, Zhao Sixi, would never stoop so low!”
…
The argument was coming from outside the cabin and grew increasingly heated.
The two arguing individuals seemed completely unconcerned that they were on a train, in a public setting.
In the cabin, Ye Zhihuan commented disdainfully, “It seems these two are Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples.
Fighting to secure a complete version of the Wind Flow Strength technique is a common sight among the Heaven Gate outer disciples—so much so that constant infighting is routine.
Get used to such things and avoid meddling!”
“…”
Ye Tian remained silent as well, showing no interest in the quarrel between the Heaven Gate disciples.
However, the two individuals outside didn’t stop their argument; instead, it escalated further!
“Zhao Sixi, if you don’t hand over the Wind Flow Strength technique today, I won’t spare you!
Among Heaven Gate’s outer disciples, there’s no one brave enough to challenge me, Hui-ge!”
“I don’t have anything to hand over!
Li Hui, if you want to fight, just fight—stop spewing so much nonsense!”
“Hmph!
You’re overestimating yourself!
If you had truly mastered the complete Wind Flow Strength technique, you might stand a chance against me.
But as you are now, you have no hope of winning!”
“Li Hui, I’m not afraid of you!
Bring it on!”
Their disagreement quickly escalated into a physical fight.
From outside the cabin, sounds of intense combat erupted!
“Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang~~~~~~~~~~~”
The clash between the two Heaven Gate disciples wasn’t on par with Inner Sect disciples who had mastered the complete Wind Flow Strength technique, yet their battle was thunderous!
Li Hui and Zhao Sixi both exerted all their strength, unleashing their internal energies.
The powerful surges of energy caused the entire train car to tremble.
Even Ye Zhicang, who had been meditating with the Silent Qi of the Nether God to heal, opened his eyes, as the environment had become unsuitable for energy circulation…
Ye Zhiran snarled angrily, “Those two fools!
Do they really think their abilities are so remarkable that they can behave recklessly on a train?
I’ll teach them a lesson!”
Ye Zhihuan immediately stopped him, saying, “Ye Zhiran, calm down.
Let it be.
Right now, our top priority is ensuring Ye Tian’s safe arrival at Tianshan City.
For other trifling matters, ignore them if you can!”
“But…”
Ye Zhiran gritted his teeth.
Though he wanted to go out and discipline those two unruly Heaven Gate disciples, he was helpless since the Clan Leader had forbidden him from taking action.
Meanwhile, outside the cabin, Li Hui and Zhao Sixi’s fight grew fiercer.
Amid thunderous impacts, the sound of fists colliding echoed loudly.
“Ah!”
After trading blows, Zhao Sixi was clearly outmatched.
He spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Li Hui, however, became more emboldened in victory!
“Zhao Sixi, this is your end!”
Li Hui declared triumphantly and struck Zhao Sixi’s body with a direct punch!
“Boom!”
The ferocious impact reverberated like an exploding cannonball.
Zhao Sixi’s body was sent flying into the iron walls of the train compartment.
“Smack!”
Yet Li Hui wasn’t finished.
His follow-up strike landed directly on Zhao Sixi’s head, sending him crashing through the compartment wall and landing lifelessly before Ye Tian’s group.
At this point, Zhao Sixi was unconscious.
Fueled by his newfound arrogance, Li Hui peered into the cabin, sneering contemptuously at the five inside.
“What are you looking at?
If you keep staring, I’ll gouge out your eyes!”
Li Hui growled, showing no regard for Ye Tian and the others.
Just then, two train security officers arrived at the scene due to the violent shaking of the compartment.
The officers stared in shock at the deeply dented train walls and Zhao Sixi’s immobilized form.
Nevertheless, they stepped forward, questioning Li Hui.
One officer demanded, “Is this man injured by you?
Why would you strike so viciously?”
Li Hui showed no concern for their words.
He glanced coldly at the officer and said, “Vicious?
I merely beat him half to death.
If I was truly vicious, he’d already be dead!
If you two dare meddle, I’ll thrash you both, too!”
“What!?”
Li Hui’s menacing demeanor sent shivers down the officers’ spines.
Left with no choice, they drew their firearms.
“If… if you make another move… we’ll have to shoot…”
They pointed their guns at Li Hui, but to Li Hui, firearms and bullets were inconsequential!
Without hesitation, Li Hui grabbed both pistols tightly.
Despite the officers pulling their triggers frantically, no bullets were released, as if the guns were jammed.
“Crack!”
With a forceful grip, Li Hui crushed the pistols, reducing them to useless scrap metal!
“Monster… Monster…”
“Oh my god… This… this…”
Terrified, the officers fled in panic, making no further attempt to intervene…
Li Hui glanced around smugly.
Having defeated Zhao Sixi and scared off the officers, he felt a surge of inflated self-importance.
“Hahaha~~~~~ A bunch of garbage!
Daring to challenge Hui-ge!
Now you know my power!”
As he spoke, Li Hui’s gaze wandered back to the cabin.
His eyes locked with Ye Tian’s.
Ye Tian’s piercing stare offended Li Hui, who immediately erupted with rage!
“You brat!
How dare you look at me like that?
Are you tired of living?!”
Li Hui strode toward Ye Tian menacingly, towering over him as though Ye Tian was nothing in his eyes.
“Tired of living?
Is it you, or me?”
Ye Tian smirked coldly.
Although Clan Leader Ye Zhihuan had warned him not to engage with Heaven Gate disciples, the threat Li Hui posed justified defensive action.
“Of course it’s you!
Do you think you can beat me?”
Li Hui roared, emboldened by his earlier display of strength in defeating Zhao Sixi.
“I won’t waste my time…”
Ye Tian chuckled softly, pressing his palm gently against Li Hui’s abdomen.
“What are you doing?
Brat, are you daring to touch me?”
Li Hui widened his eyes in disbelief.
Was this boy surrendering or pleading for mercy?
But before Li Hui could react, an overwhelming force erupted from Ye Tian’s palm.
Unable to defend himself, Li Hui was blasted away by the immense energy.
“Crash!”
Li Hui’s body slammed into the train’s iron wall and sunk deeply into it.
Though Ye Tian had struck lightly, it was enough to make Li Hui realize the vast disparity in their strength…
Such effortless power, such massive impact—few Inner Sect disciples of Heaven Gate could exhibit such skill…
Ye Tian rose gracefully, walking toward the immobilized Li Hui.
With one hand, he gripped Li Hui’s throat.
A mere tightening would sever Li Hui’s head from his body.
