Ye Tian gathered his energy and dashed forward, the Yuqi Tayan Jue reaching its peak under the influence of Martial Origin Power. After a few leaps, he arrived at the foot of the mountain on the opposite side.
"Wang Tianba! Today is your day of death!" Ye Tian paused momentarily to shout. However, his shout was not meant to intimidate Wang Tianba but rather to provoke him, as he feared that Wang Tianba might escape.
Indeed, Ye Tian's assumption proved correct; Wang Tianba was enraged and cursed loudly, "You ***..." Due to the strong wind at the mountain peak, Ye Tian could not clearly hear the latter part of his words.
"Come quickly to meet your death!" Ye Tian taunted again as he advanced toward the summit.
Once he entered the mountain, he could no longer see the situation at the peak, so Ye Tian continued to provoke Wang Tianba. However, he did not hear any retorts from him. This was certainly not due to the wind, as the sound produced under the influence of Martial Origin Power would at least be muffled, but not completely inaudible.
Thus, there were only two possibilities for the lack of a response.
First, at the moment Ye Tian entered the mountain, Wang Tianba immediately concealed himself at the peak to ambush him, remaining silent to avoid revealing his position.
Second, Wang Tianba had already fled.
While pondering these thoughts, Ye Tian did not slow his pace. As he analyzed the situation, he had already reached halfway up the mountain.
This peak was not very high, only about two hundred zhang tall, so Ye Tian quickly approached the summit and simultaneously concluded that Wang Tianba had indeed escaped.
If Wang Tianba intended to ambush him, it would mean he was determined to kill Ye Tian; otherwise, there would be no need to waste energy while also taking risks. Moreover, if he truly wanted a fight, he should not have missed the opportunity to ambush Ye Tian when he reached halfway up the mountain. It would have been an ideal time for a decisive strike since regardless of one's skill level, everyone needs to breathe. Ye Tian had made several leaps without pause, indicating that he had rushed to halfway up without stopping for breath. This would have been an excellent moment for Wang Tianba to attack; however, since he did not do so, it suggested that he was unwilling to engage directly. In other words, he had already fled.
At this moment, Ye Tian stood atop the summit and looked around. The situation was indeed as he had anticipated: Wang Tianba and his companions had all left.
A moment later, Cold Bo Stone and Leng Bo Feng arrived at this location. They did not possess any aerial techniques and were thus left behind by Ye Tian by a considerable distance.
"Where is everyone?" Cold Bo Stone shouted angrily, feeling quite frustrated that he couldn't confront Wang Tianba.
"Xiao Tian, you shouldn't act impulsively in the future. If they have set a trap here, wouldn't you be putting yourself in danger alone?" Leng Bo Feng was not concerned about whether Wang Tianba and the others had escaped; instead, he solemnly advised Ye Tian.
"Uncle Bofeng, don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Ye Tian replied with a forced laugh at the end, as he felt that not laughing would offend Leng Bo Feng. However, he was actually quite confident in his own abilities.
"That’s still not acceptable," Leng Bo Feng said somewhat displeased. His annoyance was not due to Ye Tian's confidence but rather his reckless behavior.
"Wang Tianba! You son of a b*tch!"
Just as Ye Tian was feeling somewhat moved by Leng Bo Feng's words, Cold Bo Stone suddenly pointed towards a dense forest to the east and began cursing loudly.
Ye Tian and Leng Bo Feng turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw several figures swiftly moving through the forest about a mile away; it was indeed Wang Tianba and his group.
"Cold Bo Stone, you have some guts today! Is it because Ye Tian is here that you dare to act so recklessly?" Wang Tianba's voice came from the forest. His words were quite malicious; if Cold Bo Stone were someone insecure, he would likely be affected and develop a rift with Ye Tian.
"You, a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, still need to rely on juniors to act arrogant. You're truly worthless; you'd be better off dead!"
Before Cold Bo Stone could retort, Wang Tianba's second taunt reached his ears. This made Cold Bo Stone furious; although his strength wasn't particularly high, he had never been one to rely on others for intimidation. Thus, hearing Wang Tianba's words made him exceptionally angry. Fortunately, he wasn't petty or insecure; otherwise, Wang Tianba's provocation might have already taken effect.
"Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, why are you acting like a woman? Don't you dare stand up and speak?" Seeing Cold Bo Stone fuming, Ye Tian intentionally tried to vent his anger for him and shouted loudly with a tone of disdain.
Ye Tian's voice was amplified by Martial Origin Power, making it very loud. Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti could naturally hear it but did not respond.
Seeing this, Ye Tian shouted again: "Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, if you have the guts, come fight me! Stop hiding like a coward!"
Ye Tian's remarks seemed quite unreasonable, causing both Cold Bo Stone and Leng Bo Feng to frown at him in confusion.
"Ha ha, Young Master Ye is indeed perceptive, I admire him."
In the distance, the voice of Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti came through, but judging by the sound and movement, he had not stopped or turned back.
Although Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti did not directly admit it, his words confirmed Ye Tianxin's thoughts. Indeed, Wang Tianba's earlier remarks were instigated by Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti. This kind of incitement was quite clever; it was wrapped in mockery while subtly sowing discord, making it particularly effective against someone like Cold Bo Stone, who was rough and lacked cunning. Otherwise, how could a brute like Wang Tianba come up with such malicious and scheming words?
"What the hell? What does it have to do with him? Help me curse at Wang Tianba," Cold Bo Stone said, confused and increasingly bewildered.
Ye Tian smiled lightly and explained, which finally made Cold Bo Stone and Leng Bo Feng understand.
"Let's go, we can't let them get too far," after clearing things up, Leng Bo Feng was the first to move, quickly heading towards Wang Tianba and the others. Ye Tian and Cold Bo Stone exchanged glances and quickly followed.
Since Wang Tianba and the others were moving through the dense forest, Ye Tian and his companions soon lost their direction. However, whenever they lost sight of their target, Wang Tianba would start shouting curses, which made Ye Tian slightly suspicious.
"Wang Tianba, do you dare to face me in a fair fight instead of running away?" Cold Bo Stone, lacking subtlety, was already furious from the continuous insults from Wang Tianba. He had been holding back for a long time just to catch up, but now he could no longer resist retaliating.
"Hahahahaha!"
Only laughter echoed from deep within the forest, but this laughter was even more infuriating than crude insults.
"Wait." Ye Tian suddenly raised his hand to signal them to stop, then frowned and said, "Uncle Bofeng, don't you think this is strange?"
"Indeed, I feel like we might be walking into some kind of trap," Leng Bo Feng nodded in response.
"Exactly. Wang Tianba must be trying to lead us somewhere; otherwise, he wouldn't need to shout so frequently," Ye Tian analyzed.
"Could it be that they have already set up an ambush somewhere?" Leng Bo Feng frowned as he looked deeper into the forest. Due to the branches blocking their view, they couldn't see too far ahead.
"To hell with any ambush, I'm going to skin Wang Tianba alive!" Cold Bo Stone was still furious, puffing his cheeks and glaring, a Nine Ring Broadsword clanging in his grip.
Leng Bo Feng felt helpless at the sight and carefully tried to calm his irritable older brother, while Ye Tian soared to a higher vantage point, scanning the surroundings to ascertain their current location.
Since he had previously visited the Dragon's Tribulation Site, he could have ignored Wang Tianba and the others and headed straight there. However, it was unfortunate that Wang Tianba and his group were right on the path to the Dragon's Tribulation Site.
After observing, Ye Tian descended and briefly explained the situation to Leng Bo Feng. The three of them then set off again, but this time their pace slowed. If there truly was an ambush set up by Wang Tianba, there was no need for them to pursue relentlessly, as Wang Tianba would certainly be waiting there.
They traveled in silence until noon the next day when Ye Tian finally spotted Wang Tianba and his group again.
At this moment, they were less than five hundred miles from the Dragon's Tribulation Site. If they rushed with all their might, they could reach it in less than a day. It seemed that Wang Tiankuang intended to settle things here.
"Ye Tian, you little brat are quite resilient; we've tried several times to get rid of you!" Wang Tianba stood with his hands behind his back, looking quite arrogant.
Hearing this, Ye Tian raised an eyebrow at him. What Wang Tianba referred to were previous attempts involving Wu Xiaozhuang's assassination attempt, Wu Tianci seeking revenge, and their trip to Black Wind Stronghold. The Wang family had participated in all these events but had failed each time, which is why Wang Tianba made such a remark.
"Wang Tianba, are you a babbling infant? Do you need someone else to teach you how to speak?" Ye Tian retracted his cold demeanor and shifted to a mocking tone.
Previously, the insults had been exchanged between Wang Tianba and Cold Bo Stone, so logically speaking, when both sides met, it should have been Cold Bo Stone who provoked first. However, he did not do so, indicating that his greatest animosity was directed at Ye Tian. This indirectly suggested that his earlier mockery of Cold Bo Stone was merely a tactic; he lacked the wit for such schemes. Thus, it was clear that the previous incidents were instigated by Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tianba's face turned ashen. He naturally understood that Ye Tian was criticizing him for borrowing words from Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti.
"Young Master Ye, we had some rapport back at the Black Wind Stronghold. Today we only wish to deal with the Cold Family. If you choose to stand aside, not only will we not trouble you, but we will also express our gratitude with generous gifts," said Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, stepping forward with a faint smile as he noticed that Wang Tianba was too clumsy with words to spar verbally with Ye Tian.
Just as Ye Tian was about to respond to Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, suddenly, Leng Bo Feng transmitted a message using the Secret Sound Technique.
"Xiao Tian, there is still one more person with Martial Mastery over a hundred zhang south of the dense forest."
Ye Tian had not noticed before, but now he began to carefully sense that Leng Bo Feng was indeed correct, and it was not just Martial Mastery; it had already reached the third stage.
"Uncle Bo Feng, you should remain vigilant. If that person makes any move, you and Uncle Leng should withdraw immediately," Ye Tian responded using the Secret Sound Technique.
"And you?"
"I have Yuqi Tayan Jue. If I don't want to confront them head-on, they can't do anything to me."
Upon hearing this, Leng Bo Feng said nothing more. What Ye Tian said was true; under the Yuqi Tayan Jue, self-preservation should not be difficult.
Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti noticed that Ye Tian and Leng Bo Feng's expressions were unusual and realized they were discussing strategies using the Secret Sound Technique. He quickly interrupted, saying, "Hehe, how is Young Master Ye considering things?"
Ye Tian's response was simple and decisive: "I'm considering your grandfather!"
