Everyone stopped moving at that moment. Compared to the previous giant python, this earth-shattering roar clearly transcended the realm of awe; it was a feeling beyond words.
Crack!
In the sky, thunder rumbled, and the dark clouds were as heavy as ink, completely devoid of light. At this moment, the world seemed to have lost its brightness in an instant, plunging into eternal darkness.
No creature could make a sound; even the previously thrashing giant python fell silent at this moment.
The suddenness of the roar dissipated quickly, and after just a moment, only a continuous echo remained, resonating throughout the heavens and the earth.
Rustle...
The sound of the giant python moving again broke the silence, but the sky remained unusually dark, obscuring its intentions. Soon after, the rustling sound gradually weakened, suggesting that the giant python had already left, heading who knows where.
Of course, amidst such immense shock, no one was concerned about the giant python.
After about half an hour, a fierce lightning bolt suddenly streaked across the sky, illuminating the darkness.
Everyone was startled by this flash of lightning and gradually regained their composure, looking up at the sky.
Crack!
Thunder roared again, but compared to the previous thunderclaps, it was many times stronger, resonating as if it were right beside them, sending a shiver down their spines.
Then, in an unknown place thousands of miles to the east, a massive purple vortex suddenly appeared in the sky. Lightning surged within it, fierce and terrifying. Bolts of thunder struck down like divine punishment upon the earth, and from its center emerged an enormous thunder pillar that crashed down like a meteor.
Roar!!!
The Giant Thunder landed, and that immense roar echoed once again, resonating between heaven and earth, lingering for a long time without fading.
Amidst this roar, everyone felt their hearts tremble, their eyes burning with intensity, as if they had been summoned by something, standing dazed in place with unusual expressions.
This abnormal state lasted for about half an hour, after which the dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate rapidly, and the massive lightning vortex in the east gradually shrank. After another incense stick's worth of time, the world finally returned to calm.
"Ha!"
As if their souls had finally returned to themselves, heavy breaths rose and fell among the crowd, and everyone collapsed to the ground, too weak to stand.
Of course, Ye Tian was no exception. He furrowed his brow tightly, his gaze still locked on the distant east where the strange phenomenon had just occurred.
For a long time, no one spoke. The earlier phenomenon had profoundly shaken their souls. At this moment, they had a revolutionary understanding of the power within this world.
"Can Martial Mastery also be considered strong?"
Finally, someone spoke up. There was a hint of disdain in their tone, but more so a sense of helplessness.
Ye Tian floated back and approached that person, patting his shoulder and saying, "A true strong person should possess the might of heaven and earth!"
That person was Fifth Brother. After hearing Ye Tian's words, he slowly nodded and said, "I've lived in Spirit Martial Town for over thirty years. I always felt that Spirit Martial Town was vast, yet such a large place has only a few Martial Mastery. So I always believed that only by reaching Warrior Definition could one be worthy of being called a strong person. But today it seems that before such power, they might not even be considered ants..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian did not respond but instead gazed deeply at the spot where the lightning vortex had surged earlier, his eyes filled with intense fervor.
"I wonder if the legendary Martial God Definition can achieve such earth-shaking might..." Ye Tian stared for a long time, lost in thought.
"Someone!"
At that moment, a sudden exclamation rang out from the crowd.
Ye Tian was startled by the shout and snapped out of his reverie. Following the sound, he saw a figure darting through the morning mist among the trees of the Forest, heading towards them.
It was just before dawn, with a ray of light breaking through the eastern horizon, casting a reddish hue across the clouds. The deep mountains and forests shrouded the morning in a light mist. Although the figure was not too far away, its face remained indistinct.
The figure was not moving very quickly, as if being cautious about something, but it was clear that its intention to reach this place was evident.
"It looks familiar; that build resembles... Wang Tiankuang?" Fifth Brother frowned and leaned forward, seemingly unsure.
As Fifth Brother spoke, the figure turned around a towering ancient tree and gradually became clearer through the mist.
Ye Tian focused intently and saw that the person was indeed Wang Tiankuang, robust and fierce-looking. However, for some reason, his usually fierce and wild eyes were now dim and lacking luster.
"Could it be that Wang Tiankuang went to inform Black Wind Stronghold?" Ye Tian thought with some confusion. Wang Tiankuang had suddenly disappeared when the giant python appeared, yet now he had returned. No one knew where he had been during that time.
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Tian dismissed that thought. Although Black Wind Stronghold was not far from here, a round trip would take at least four hours. Even with his Yuqi Tayan Jue, he might not be able to manage it, let alone Wang Tiankuang. Moreover, if he had truly gone to send word, he should not have returned.
"Sky Mad Second Master!" Ye Tian called out loudly towards the figure.
Wang Tiankuang paused for a moment, seemingly hesitant, but then quickly resumed his approach, though at a much slower pace.
In a short while, Wang Tiankuang appeared within ten yards of everyone.
"I wonder where Sky Mad Second Master went recently?" Ye Tian asked coldly.
"Do I need to report to you wherever I go?" Wang Tiankuang stood his ground without stepping forward, and as he spoke, he turned slightly to the side, making it difficult for others to see his expression.
"Of course not, but there were many strange occurrences last night, and I am worried about your safety." Seeing that he was unwilling to clarify, Ye Tian changed his tone, now sounding quite teasing.
"Hmph! Stop pretending to be kind; I will never die in front of you." Wang Tiankuang's words were filled with agitation, as if he had been greatly provoked.
"Hehe, is Sky Mad Second Master worried about the strength of Black Wind Stronghold? Don't worry, I will definitely ensure your safety." Ye Tian emphasized "Black Wind Stronghold," clearly testing him.
"Nonsense, do I need you to protect me?" Wang Tiankuang still did not fully turn around, as if he was deliberately hiding something.
"That may be true; Sky Mad Second Master is indeed powerful, so your safety doesn't require my concern." Ye Tian chuckled and stepped forward while speaking. "Why doesn't Second Uncle show his face? Do you look down on us brothers?"
As Ye Tian moved, an invisible aura emanated from him, creating a feeling akin to a poised leopard ready to strike.
Seeing Ye Tian approach, Wang Tiankuang noticeably shifted slightly but ultimately remained still, closing his eyes as if deep in thought.
Ye Tian was somewhat surprised; although Wang Tiankuang was reckless, he was not someone who let his guard down. Given that the two were almost at odds with each other, why would he close his eyes during such a test?
"Ye Tian, our conflict is meaningless; we should focus on the plan to eliminate the bandits." Wang Tiankuang suddenly sighed deeply, his brow furrowed as if he was the first to compromise.
Ye Tian was taken aback. From what he knew of Wang Tiankuang, this kind of provocation should not have been resolved in such a manner. Firstly, he was already a Martial Master; secondly, he had a fiery temper. It was indeed suspicious for him to say such things.
"Sky Mad Second Master isn't injured, is he?" Ye Tian stopped and continued, "I have some knowledge of medicine. If Second Uncle is hurt, feel free to tell me; perhaps I can help you heal."
Recalling the strange occurrences from last night and Wang Tiankuang's sudden disappearance, although he didn't know where he had gone, it wasn't impossible that he had been injured by that giant python. However, Ye Tian's words were not sincere; he wanted to ascertain why Wang Tiankuang seemed so downcast.
"Thank you for your concern; I'm fine." Wang Tiankuang turned away from Ye Tian, his tone surprisingly calm and polite.
"Ha ha, it's good that nothing happened." Ye Tian chuckled, his confusion deepening.
At that moment, Fifth Brother stepped forward, looking at Wang Tiankuang with a puzzled expression. He then said to Ye Tian, "Leaf Young Master, it's getting light. I think we should leave this cursed place as soon as possible. If that giant python comes back, it would be disastrous."
Fifth Brother's concern was quite valid. Just a short distance from here lay the trap area. If the giant python reappeared, everyone would find themselves in a situation of being "caught between a rock and a hard place." Moreover, when they first arrived, Ye Tian had heard many strange sounds, suggesting that there were likely other beasts in addition to the giant python. The group had just recovered from their previous scare; if they encountered another beast, it was uncertain whether they could fight back, and psychologically, they might collapse under the pressure of continuous danger.
"Tell everyone to prepare. We will set off at my command," Ye Tian said softly to Fifth Brother.
"Understood." Fifth Brother nodded and turned to leave.
Once Fifth Brother was gone, Ye Tian focused his gaze back on Wang Tiankuang and pondered for a moment before saying, "Sky Mad Second Master, this mission to eliminate the bandits is quite perilous. We have already faced many incidents before even reaching Black Wind Stronghold. In my opinion, it would be better to return to Spirit Martial Town."
Ye Tian's words reflected his belief that Wang Tianba's plan to use Black Wind Stronghold to eliminate the remnants of the Cold Family had already faltered significantly. With the betrayal of the Wang family members, Wang Tiankuang had no one left to rely on. Would Black Wind Stronghold support a solitary Wang Tiankuang? The answer was clearly no; Black Wind Stronghold was not foolish, as evidenced by that fake trap map.
"No way!" Wang Tiankuang's body seemed to tremble slightly; it was unclear whether from excitement or something else, but there was even a faint sound of him gritting his teeth.
He certainly would not agree with Ye Tian's suggestion because when he first left Spirit Martial Town, he had been determined in front of his elder brother and had even ignored warnings like "be careful of Ye Tian." Now that they hadn't even reached Black Wind Stronghold and his subordinates had already betrayed him, if he were to return directly now, he would become a laughingstock. How could he walk around Spirit Martial Town after this? His standing in the Wang family would likely diminish as well.
