845: Chapter 841: Shu Xin’s Advice 845: Chapter 841: Shu Xin’s Advice Ye Tian flicked the indomitable Blood Bodhi straight back, causing all the martial artists to shudder involuntarily.
A chorus of astonished gasps erupted from the crowd…
“Amazing!
It seems this guy’s hidden weapons aren’t unbeatable after all!”
“Exactly!
With this, our chances of winning just skyrocketed!”
“No doubt about it!
A lackey is just a lackey—they can’t possibly kill us!”
…
To this, Ye Tian could only respond with a wry smile…
Even though he had managed to deflect the immensely powerful Blood Bodhi, that was merely the tip of Wang Cai’s strength.
This man’s true terror only unfolded when he didn’t use the Blood Bodhi!
Ye Tian’s focus once again locked onto Wang Cai.
After having his Blood Bodhi deflected, Wang Cai didn’t immediately retaliate.
Instead, he stood silently before speaking: “There aren’t many martial artists in this world capable of withstanding my full-throttle Blood Bodhi.
You’re one of the few!”
“Your strength isn’t weak.
If you could serve the Young Master, you’d make an outstanding servant.
But unfortunately, you’ve offended the Young Master.
The Death Order has already been issued.
So today, there’s no way you’ll leave here alive!”
Even in battle, Wang Cai didn’t forget to extol the virtues of Young Master Long and recruit talent.
Ye Tian, however, sneered coldly and replied, “How unfortunate that I, Ye Tian, am born with an untamed spirit.
I’ve never deigned to be anyone’s lackey.
No matter how powerful the faction, I will never kneel to another!”
“Ye Tian?
You mean Ye Tian, the King of the Night?”
Upon hearing Ye Tian’s name, Wang Cai furrowed his brow slightly but soon relaxed his expression.
“That’s right, I am Ye Tian!”
Ye Tian proclaimed resolutely.
No matter the enemy, he saw no need to hide his name!
Wang Cai let out a chilling laugh and said, “Of course, I know the name King of the Night!
You are named alongside the King of Hell and the Rakshasa Queen.
In the underground world, each of you is an unparalleled powerhouse!
But to us, you’re nothing more than frogs in a well.
Your so-called strength is laughable in our eyes—unworthy of attention.
However, now that you’ve grown strong enough to block my Blood Bodhi, I can’t let you live.
I have no choice but to erase you!”
“Us?”
The plural in Wang Cai’s words surprised Ye Tian.
“Wang Cai, when you say ‘us,’ who exactly are you referring to?
Is it that Young Master Long or his family?
Why would someone as powerful as you willingly serve a guy like that?
Don’t you have any pride?”
Ye Tian shot back fiercely.
Yet his words didn’t move Wang Cai in the slightest…
“Pride?
As the Young Master’s loyal servant, what use do I have for pride?
My life belongs to the Young Master.
Before him, I’m nothing more than a dog!
Tell me, does a dog need pride?”
“…”
Wang Cai’s words rendered Ye Tian speechless.
Ye Tian had initially thought Wang Cai’s servility was only due to Young Master Long’s presence.
Yet now that Young Master Long was gone, Wang Cai’s demeanor hadn’t changed in the slightest.
It seemed Wang Cai’s absolute devotion to Young Master Long was ingrained, unwavering no matter the occasion!
“How amusing!
Wang Cai, a peerless powerhouse, groveling before someone so unremarkable—it’s honestly absurd!”
Ye Tian mocked, but Wang Cai remained unmoved.
Watching the direction Young Master Long had departed, Wang Cai said reverently, “Absurd?
What’s absurd about it?
My father, my mother, my grandfather, and my grandmother all served the Long family with unwavering loyalty!
My father died saving the Young Master’s father.
I take pride in him!
My mother offended the Young Master’s mother and was minced into pulp.
I feel ashamed of her!
Even she, before her death, carried deep regret in her heart.”
Ye Tian scoffed coldly, “Your mother was butchered into pulp, and rather than seeking revenge, you’re here fawning over them?
Disgraceful is an understatement!”
But Wang Cai seemed to take it for granted…
“Revenge for my mother?
Are you joking?
As a loyal servant of the Long family, how could I even entertain such a dangerous thought?
Besides, dying at the hands of the Long family was an honor for my mother.
How could I possibly seek revenge for her?”
It wasn’t just Ye Tian—all the martial artists present found Wang Cai’s behavior utterly contemptible!
A mother’s murder calls for irreconcilable vengeance, yet Wang Cai not only didn’t seek revenge but continued serving the Long family dutifully…
Such a man baffled every martial artist there!
However, Ye Tian began to perceive a pattern…
“Wang Cai, what exactly is the Long family?
Why do you and your entire lineage obey them so unconditionally, even at the cost of your lives?
Why endure such suffering without seeking recompense?”
Ye Tian questioned icily, but Wang Cai remained tight-lipped…
“Regrettably, I cannot disclose what the Long family is.
You don’t have the right to know, and I won’t tell you anyway!
Besides, today, all of you will perish here!”
Wang Cai declared menacingly as a surge of ferocious Qi Force erupted from his body, blasting all the surrounding martial artists away.
“Ahhh!”, “Good heavens!”, “Aghhh!”…
The martial artists cried out miserably!
These outer disciples of the Heavenly Gate Sect, even with their incomplete mastery of the Wind Flow Strength cultivation technique, had never suffered such a devastating blow in battle.
Wang Cai, simply with the Qi Force emanating from his body, had sent scores of martial artists flying, leaving them in utter disarray…
Among everyone there, only Ye Tian barely managed to stabilize himself.
As the force struck, Ye Tian employed the Thousand Catties Drop cultivation technique, preventing himself from being blown away by Wang Cai’s Qi Force…
However, the force that blasted the martial artists away wasn’t mere wind—it originated from Wang Cai’s internal Inner Strength.
So while Ye Tian managed to hold his ground, the immense power churned his organs, nearly suffocating him.
Even with the protection of his deep energy reserves from the Xuan Yun Art, Ye Tian was still injured by Wang Cai’s force.
This spoke volumes about how indescribably powerful Wang Cai’s strength was!
Nevertheless, Ye Tian sensed something peculiar.
When his energy clashed with Wang Cai’s, he distinctly felt that Wang Cai’s power wasn’t derived from the force of nature or conventional Inner Strength.
Instead, it was an unknown power unfamiliar to him.
Though unaware of what type of power resided within Wang Cai, its sheer potency was mind-boggling.
Even with the Xuan Yun Art, Ye Tian still felt an enormous burden!
“Whoosh!”
Seeing Ye Tian remain standing against his Qi blast, Wang Cai immediately swung a fist toward Ye Tian’s face.
Ye Tian, a hot-blooded and defiant man, naturally refused to back down in the face of such aggression.
He threw out his own punch to meet Wang Cai head-on.
But just as his fist was halfway through, Ye Tian suddenly noticed something off.
He cried out, “Everyone, scatter!”
As he shouted the warning, Ye Tian hastily retracted his punch and leapt into the air, landing atop a tree branch half a zhang high!
Hearing Ye Tian’s warning, the martial artists behind him immediately scattered in all directions…
In an instant, a torrent of razor-sharp vacuum blades erupted from Wang Cai’s fist.
Each blade cut through the air with unstoppable force.
“Swish, swish, swish, swish~~~~~~~~~~~”
In mere moments, the trees within several dozen meters were shredded into wood chips.
Even massive boulders turned into piles of rubble.
Yet the blades didn’t lose any momentum as they continued slicing through the depths of the forest.
The ground was left scarred with deep gashes from the blades—some several meters deep—creating a sight so harrowing it sent chills down anyone’s spine…
This was Wang Cai’s strength.
With merely one punch, half the forest was decimated…
Thanks to Ye Tian’s warning, the martial artists narrowly avoided calamity.
Had Ye Tian not shouted, they would’ve been torn apart by the vacuum blades, reduced to nothing but minced meat.
“That was close!
Man, that guy is terrifying…”
“We owe it to Ye Tian’s warning; otherwise, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable!”
“And Ye Tian being able to discern the hidden threat in that punch—truly remarkable!”
…
While the martial artists were still trembling from the close call, they cast admiring looks at Ye Tian.
Among all present, only he could contend with an opponent as formidable as Wang Cai!
Yet, Ye Tian could only muster a bitter smile…
The fact that he managed to realize the hidden nature of Wang Cai’s punch was purely due to instinct.
Without it, he would’ve undoubtedly been torn to shreds by the vacuum blades.
Relying on instinct to dodge attacks in battle was precarious.
If his instincts ever failed, it would mean certain death…
Even more troubling, the vacuum blades unleashed from that punch weren’t the extent of Wang Cai’s strength.
Ye Tian could sense clearly that Wang Cai wasn’t going all out just yet.
If this man unleashed his full power, how horrifying would it be?
“Kid, why haven’t you run yet?”
As Ye Tian hesitated, the millennium ancient tree’s Shu Xin, housed within Ye Tian’s wooden blade, suddenly spoke.
Of course, Shu Xin’s words were only audible to Ye Tian.
“If you don’t run, you might die!”
Shu Xin warned again, but Ye Tian shook his head.
“I can’t!
With my Qinggong, I might escape this guy’s clutches.
But if I flee, the dozen or so martial artists here will surely perish!”
Ye Tian communicated with Shu Xin through his spirit.
The millennium ancient tree’s Shu Xin, however, remained puzzled!
