798: Chapter 794: The Traitor of the Ye Family 798: Chapter 794: The Traitor of the Ye Family “Ouch!”
The claw of the mythical creature struck deep into the bone marrow, and Ye Tian, despite his great endurance, was in excruciating pain.
But Ye Tian was a martial artist who grew stronger when faced with stronger opponents.
Although his shoulder was a bloody blur of flesh and bone, it could not conceal his fighting spirit.
He seized the opportunity to throw a punch, striking the creature’s nose.
“Bang!”
With that blow, even the ancient mythical creature reeled, its nose bleeding profusely.
However, with the creature’s proud nature, how could it possibly suffer under Ye Tian’s attack?
It opened its massive maw and let out a ferocious roar!
“Aooooo…
wuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
No deadly flash emanated from its mouth, but the power contained within the roar was indescribable.
Ye Zhihuan, Ye Zhiran, and Ye Zhirong, all simultaneously covered their ears because if they didn’t, the creature’s sound waves would shatter their internal organs.
But Ye Tian, locked in fierce battle with the creature, had no chance to cover his ears.
Unshielded, he took the full brunt of the Killing Sound Wave!
A tremendous force entered Ye Tian’s body through the sound wave, tearing wildly inside him.
Ye Tian’s Inner Strength was abundant, with a potent force protecting his body, so the Killing Sound Wave could not shatter his organs.
Nevertheless, the intense vibration still severely damaged his insides.
Though it was not visible from the outside, a large mouthful of blood spewed from Ye Tian’s mouth…
At this moment, Ye Tian had suffered a great blow!
Yet Ye Tian did not retreat.
Instead, a smile appeared on his lips…
“Thrilling!
Thrilling!”
In fact, Ye Tian couldn’t control his own emotions.
This battle with the ancient mythical creature had triggered something inside him, making him unusually excited.
Facing a powerful enemy, his thoughts were not of escape but of how to fight the formidable foe!
This was an instinct!
As Ye Tian’s strength continuously improved, this inherent instinct became more and more apparent.
Ye Tian and the creature, locked in combat once again, both were all offense and no defense, hitting each other over and over, yet also getting struck numerous times themselves!
Thus, before long, both Ye Tian and the creature were covered in wounds…
Ye Zhihuan, Ye Zhiran, and Ye Zhirong, the three onlookers, each had their own feelings as they watched the fight between Ye Tian and the creature.
“Hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph…
I never expected this kid, Ye Tian, to be so strong, able to fight the creature to a draw, which sure saves us a lot of trouble!
Once the battle is over, no matter who wins or loses, we can easily kill Ye Tian and tame the creature again!”
Ye Zhihuan declared smugly, pleased with the scene before him.
Ye Zhiran echoed, “Clan Leader, you are right!
This way, our Ye Clan can reap the rewards without any effort!”
“…”
Ye Zhirong, however, could only silently watch, without a word.
Naturally, he didn’t wish to see Ye Tian die at the hands of the creature, but given the situation and his limited influence, how could he change the course of events?
As the three elders of the Ye Clan each harbored their own thoughts, watching the melee between Ye Tian and the creature, suddenly a figure flashed by, appearing before them.
Due to the incredible speed, no one could see clearly who had appeared.
The newcomer jumped straight into the fray with Ye Tian and the creature.
“Bang!”
The person delivered a heavy punch to the creature’s stomach.
The creature, focused on its life-and-death struggle with Ye Tian, had no time to dodge the blow, and already weakened by Ye Tian’s series of attacks, its defensive power was greatly reduced.
Therefore, the punch from the newcomer knocked the creature to the ground!
“Quick, follow me!”
The person immediately grabbed Ye Tian.
Ye Tian was startled as he realized who had come to his rescue.
It was none other than Ye Zhicang, the third of the Ye Clan’s four elders!
After trespassing in the forbidden territory of the Ye Clan, Clan Leader Ye Zhihuan loathed him to the bone.
Even Ye Zhirong, who had once been on friendly terms with him, had been forced to become his enemy.
But why would the third of the four Ye elders risk so much to save him?
“You…”
Ye Tian hesitated, but Ye Zhicang couldn’t afford to waste time.
With a push to Ye Tian’s back, he propelled Ye Tian forward for dozens of meters.
As Ye Zhicang was about to leave the place with Ye Tian, someone blocked their way—it was the Clan Leader of the Ye Clan, Ye Zhihuan!
“Stop!
Ye Zhicang, do you realize what you’re doing?”
Ye Zhihuan harshly interrogated, at first, he had not realized that it was his own third brother who had come forward to save Ye Tian.
Now that he saw it, he naturally could not contain his rage and stood directly in front of Ye Zhicang and Ye Tian.
“Ye Tian trespassed into the Ye family’s forbidden area, and by all accounts should be executed.
The three of us were no match for him, so we had no choice but to unleash the Pixiu!
But even the Pixiu couldn’t defeat him right away!
A man like that, he must die, and as part of the Ye family, you should be well aware of this!
Yet you attacked and injured the Pixiu and were even about to take this thief away!
Ye Zhicang, I ask you, are you a descendant of the Ye family or not?”
As the Clan Leader, what he could least tolerate was the betrayal of a clansman.
Ye Zhicang’s actions were no different from those of a traitor, and Ye Zhihuan had the power to expel Ye Zhicang from the family!
“Ye Zhicang, what on earth happened to you?
Going against the family’s principles, this isn’t like you!
Can you tell us what exactly occurred?”
Seeing his brother betraying the Ye family was also a huge shock to Ye Zhiran, and he delved deep, pressing for answers.
“…”
But Ye Zhirong didn’t speak.
To be honest, he hoped that Ye Tian would survive, but he couldn’t betray the Ye family.
Therefore, while Ye Zhicang’s actions were rebellious, they were exactly what Ye Zhirong wanted to see.
Of course, Ye Zhirong himself didn’t know why Ye Zhicang was saving Ye Tian.
Faced with the Clan Leader’s fierce questioning, the usually reticent Ye Zhicang showed a calm expression.
“Clan Leader, I have a very important reason to save Ye Tian, which has nothing to do with whether he entered the Ye family’s forbidden area or injured the ancient mythical beast!”
“What reason?”
Ye Zhihuan asked again, but Ye Zhicang said nothing more.
Meanwhile, the Pixiu that Ye Zhicang had just knocked to the ground got up again and stepped towards the crowd.
Seeing the Pixiu’s murderous face, the three elders of the Ye family were terrified and stepped back two paces.
The now thoroughly enraged Pixiu, if anyone stood before it, was likely to be attacked indiscriminately…
However, Ye Zhicang, full of energy, was unlike anyone else present.
Even as the Pixiu charged towards him, Ye Zhicang appeared calm and unflustered.
Ye Zhicang waved his hand and brought his palm close to the Pixiu’s eyes!
The Pixiu opened its gaping mouth, aiming to consume Ye Zhicang’s hand, flesh and all.
However, Ye Zhicang’s hand quivered, and from it suddenly appeared a gold coin!
The ancient mythical beast Pixiu, unlike other mythical beasts, did not eat ordinary food but something else – money!
The Pixiu had an innate craving for gold and treasures, regardless of the amount!
Although Ye Zhicang held only a single gold coin, it clearly captured the Pixiu’s attention.
The Pixiu extended its tongue, dripping with saliva…
“Go!”
Ye Zhicang suddenly tossed the gold coin, throwing it dozens of meters away, and the Pixiu chased after the coin.
Having successfully lured the Pixiu away, Ye Zhicang then began to leave with Ye Tian, but the three elders of the Ye family still stood in front of him, blocking Ye Zhicang and Ye Tian from leaving!
Ye Zhihuan said viciously, “Ye Zhicang, you can’t leave!
Today, if you don’t make things clear, don’t think you can leave here alive!”
Facing the ferocious Clan Leader Ye Zhihuan, Ye Zhicang brought his palm up to Ye Zhihuan’s face once again.
Ye Zhihuan disdainfully said, “What now?
Do you think you can entice me with money?
I am not that beast, how could I be fooled by a mere gold coin?”
As he spoke, Ye Zhicang began to quietly gather his strength, and his extended palm suddenly burst into intense bright light!
“Sun Palm!”
The move Ye Zhicang unleashed was naturally the Sun Palm, which the Ye family was best at using.
Although Ye Zhihuan was on guard, he was deceived by Ye Zhicang’s earlier act of distracting the Pixiu with a gold coin, resulting in his failure to react in time!
The blinding light immediately made it impossible for Ye Zhihuan to open his eyes…
“My eyes!
Ye Zhicang, you…”
Ye Zhihuan cried out, struck by the bright light in his eyes, and it wasn’t just him.
Ye Zhiran beside him was also affected, the intense brightness preventing him from looking straight.
Though Ye Zhirong was prepared and wasn’t blinded, he pretended to be hurt by the intense light…
“Let’s go!”
With no more obstacles in front of him, Ye Zhicang immediately supported Ye Tian and leaped away from the place.
After several jumps, Ye Zhicang led Ye Tian away from the battlefield.
Unlike Ye Tian, Ye Zhicang was obviously more familiar with the terrain here.
He took Ye Tian into the dense forest and concealed their breathing.
As they escaped without a trace to be found, how could the three elders of the Ye family possibly locate them?
As for Ye Tian, he didn’t immediately question Ye Zhicang.
After the battle with the Pixiu, he had sustained no small injuries.
He was carefully regulating his Inner Strength, and his internal injuries were slowly recovering during the process.
The fresh blood continuously spilling from the corner of his mouth had also stopped…
