Ye Tian once personally experienced the might of the Divine Dragon. At that time, the mere presence of the Divine Dragon's majesty nearly incapacitated him, let alone the roar that was so close by. If nothing unexpected happened, Wang Tianba and the others would at least have been stunned; if they were lucky, they might have even been killed by the shock.
The two raced along the path of Skyward Martial Arts. The thirty-mile journey was not far, and under such extraordinary movement techniques, it was hardly worth mentioning.
Half an hour later, the Forest gradually came into view with golden light. As they approached, they felt as if they were enveloped in golden radiance. An hour later, they finally arrived at the edge of the lake where the Divine Dragon lay in wait.
"This is the legendary..."
"Shh..." Ye Tian placed a finger to his lips, signaling for silence.
Seeing this, Windwalker Young Master quickly closed his mouth, feeling a sense of dread. He had been a bit too excited upon seeing the legendary Divine Dragon and had spoken too loudly.
"Can you see Wang Tianba and the others?" Ye Tian asked Windwalker Young Master using the Secret Sound Technique.
Windwalker Young Master looked around but shook his head.
"Could they have been swallowed by the Divine Dragon?" Windwalker Young Master asked through the Secret Sound Technique.
"No, the Divine Dragon would likely disdain eating a few insignificant humans. It probably feeds on the essence of heaven and earth," Ye Tian explained.
"What about them? Could it be that they weren't stunned and instead managed to escape?" Windwalker Young Master asked again.
"I don't know, but I'm sure they're not dead or unconscious," Ye Tian replied. However, his answer had no basis and was purely based on his own intuition.
"Will the Divine Dragon discover us?" At this moment, in front of the Primordial Divine Beast, the Windwalker Young Master was no longer concerned about the lives of Wang Tianba and the others.
Ye Tian looked ahead, first seeing a vast expanse of golden light. The lake appeared calm under the golden glow, resembling a golden pool. At this moment, there was no wind or waves, and the water was still, adding to the mysterious and solemn atmosphere.
Looking up, there was nothing to be seen.
Raising his gaze further, he still saw nothing.
Finally, as he looked up, the Crimson Dragon came into view.
It was a colossal creature over a thousand feet long, covered in golden scales, with four legs and antler-like horns. It was currently coiling through the clouds, its enormous dragon eyes radiating a stunning golden light. This light was different from that emitted by its scales; it was of an exceptionally pure hue, seemingly containing a power that could crush one's heart with its intimidation.
Ye Tian had never seen such pure golden light or such an imposing gaze.
"Wang Tianba, I see him."
Just as Ye Tian was mesmerized by the Divine Dragon's intimidating gaze, the Windwalker Young Master gently nudged him. Due to his excitement, he did not use his secret silver ear device.
"Where?" Ye Tian snapped back to reality and followed the direction pointed out by the Windwalker Young Master.
The Windwalker Young Master indicated the west side of the dense forest, where there was a large rock at the edge of the lake. At that moment, Wang Tianba was hiding behind the rock, peeking out cautiously to look at the sky.
"It really is him, but..." Ye Tian felt puzzled as he recognized him.
"Why is he unharmed?" The Windwalker Young Master voiced the shared question of both: clearly being so close to the Divine Dragon, why had that earlier roar posed no threat to him?
Because Ye Tian was also in a state of confusion, he naturally could not answer Windwalker Young Master's question. He continued to observe closely, and after a moment, he had a slight inkling in his heart.
From Ye Tian's position, he could see that there were three people hiding behind the giant rock. It went without saying that they were Wang Tianba, Cold Wu, and Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti. Although the three of them did not speak, their exhaustion was evident in their expressions and movements. At this moment, they were quietly stretching their muscles, clearly having just regained consciousness.
The fact that they had just woken up indicated that they had indeed been unconscious before. However, the reason for their unconsciousness could not have been the roar of the Divine Dragon; otherwise, they would not have awakened so quickly. Since it was not due to the Divine Dragon's roar, there was only one remaining possibility: they had voluntarily entered a state of unconsciousness.
"Why would they voluntarily faint..." Ye Tian frowned in deep thought. There are not many situations that can cause someone to faint voluntarily, so Ye Tian quickly arrived at an answer.
The three of them must have seen the Divine Dragon emerge from the water and intended to become enraged. They hurriedly sealed their acupoints before its roar could be unleashed. Once the acupoints were sealed, blood would stop flowing throughout their bodies, and with no air entering or leaving their chests and abdomens, they would enter a state resembling death. In such a state, let alone the roar of the Divine Dragon; even if they were stabbed twice, they would absolutely not wake up.
For someone in a state resembling death to awaken, there are only two methods: one is for another person to unblock their acupoints, and the other is to wait for an hour until the energy at the acupoints gradually dissipates, at which point they will automatically awaken. The symptoms upon waking up will be extreme weakness and numbness in all limbs.
At this moment, the actions of the three perfectly matched this characteristic, indicating that they must have escaped the might of the Divine Dragon's roar by sealing their acupoints.
"Heh heh, how fair..." After realizing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but smile wryly. Wang Tianba and Cold Wu were relatively dull-witted; they would never have thought of such a method. Therefore, it must have been Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's idea. The inspiration for Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti likely came from Windwalker Young Master sealing his acupoint earlier.
Leng Bo Feng was saved because Windwalker Young Master sealed Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's acupoint. Now it seemed like a case of tit for tat; Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti and his companions also avoided the might of the Divine Dragon because of this incident. Such a situation could only be described as fate.
After his wry smile, Ye Tian regained his composure. Currently, there was a significant disparity in strength between both sides. Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was a Second-Stage Martial Artist, while Cold Wu and Wang Tianba were both Three-Stage Martial Artists, with the latter likely having reached the later stages. Meanwhile, Windwalker Young Master was merely a First-Stage Martial Artist. Although Ye Tian did not fear Three-Stage Martial Artists and could even kill them, that was only under one-on-one circumstances.
"Brother Fan, you should leave first and return to Cold Family. Tell Uncle Leng to relocate immediately," Ye Tian said after pondering for a moment in a low voice.
Windwalker Young Master was taken aback by these words and did not understand at first. After a moment of reflection, he asked, "Why?"
"Their acquisition of the Divine Dragon Treasure is almost certain. If we reveal ourselves now, we will undoubtedly die. Moreover, once they obtain the Divine Dragon Treasure, they will inevitably target Cold Family as well; by then it will be too late." Ye Tian patiently explained.
"How about you?" Windwalker Young Master asked again.
"Don't worry about me, just go!" Ye Tian urged, his gaze turning sharp as he looked at Wang Tianba and the others. This kind of intensity rarely appeared in Ye Tian's eyes, but whenever it did, it meant someone was about to be brutally killed.
"One down is better than none!" Ye Tianxin thought to herself, her fists quietly clenching.
"No way, I, Fan Fenglin, am not one to fear for my life. Although I intend to join the Cold Family, I will never do so by bowing down to avoid danger!" Seeing Ye Tian's gaze, Windwalker Young Master felt a surge of blood rush to his head and stood up resolutely.
Ye Tian was taken aback and quickly reached out to pull him back. After grabbing him, he firmly pressed down on his shoulder and shouted angrily, "Are you crazy?!"
Fan Fenglin glared at Ye Tian in response, remaining silent. Their anger wasn't directed at each other but was a natural reaction of men in a crisis.
"I know you feel that we look down on you, but that's just your perception. The Cold Family treats everyone equally; such a situation will not occur!" This was something Ye Tian had wanted to say for a long time but had held back out of respect for Fan Fenglin. Now that the situation was urgent, he needed to get Fan Fenglin away; keeping him here was useless and would only lead to his death.
Upon hearing this, the anger in Fan Fenglin's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of emotion. He then closed his eyes in contemplation and said after a moment, "You saved my life. If I escape alone in this critical moment and leave you to face danger alone, how can I live with myself afterward? You would be putting me in an unjust position!"
"Fine, since you insist on staying, then do as you wish!" Ye Tian said as he quietly raised his hand. As he emphasized the word "you," he also delivered a swift chop.
Fan Fenglin let out a muffled groan before collapsing unconscious.
"I'm sorry, Brother Fan; there's no other way right now. This might give you a slim chance of survival," Ye Tian glanced at the unconscious Fan Fenglin with a twinge of guilt.
Ye Tian's guilt didn't stem from the so-called injustice towards Fan Fenglin but rather from the fact that knocking him out wouldn't completely eliminate the danger. Once the battle began, it would be a decisive fight where both sides would go all out. In such chaos filled with powerful techniques, the unconscious Windwalker Young Master could easily be caught in the crossfire. If that happened, the outcome would likely be disastrous.
Although this approach wasn't ideal, it was the only option given Fan Fenglin's insistence on staying. After all, it was better than him going out there to meet his death directly.
Saying he is sending himself to death is not to belittle him; his strength is indeed lacking. Even with Skyward Martial Arts, it is unlikely he can exert much influence in the face of the powerful techniques of his opponents. Moreover, the three people opposite him all have grievances against him. Wang Tianba must hate him for his betrayal, the Cold Weapon Society resents him for his previous interference, and as for Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, there is no need to mention it; he has already carved words into the tree to express his stance.
"Heh heh, I never expected that in the end, I would be fighting alongside you."
Ye Tian suddenly chuckled helplessly as he thought about it. Ye Tian was confident he could defeat any one of the three opponents, but he was not arrogant enough to believe he could take on all three at once. In this inevitable situation of death, Ye Tian couldn't help but reflect on his past years.
Before this, he had always thought that during the battle with the Wang family, those by his side would be Cold Yang, Leng Ping, and Wu Xiaozhuang. However, as time passed, Leng Ping was killed, Wu Xiaozhuang died at his own hands, and Cold Yang lacked the strength to leave the Cold Family. Now, everything had changed...
Furthermore, after this battle, Ye Tian did not dare to think about what would become of the Cold Family.
"Friend, I have done my best. If by chance you survive, I hope you will avenge me and the Cold Family in the future."
The Windwalker Young Master may not be considered his brother, but he certainly qualifies as a friend. Not for any other reason but for his willingness to risk himself and repay kindness. Although he had been quite filthy before, at least this person is fundamentally a good man.
The term "good man" may seem ordinary, but upon careful observation, there are truly very few who deserve such a title.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Wang Tianba! Your grandpa is here!"
