For some reason, this person was sent to the front, but it suited Ye Tian's intentions perfectly. The anger he felt earlier had not yet dissipated, and now he could vent it on him.
The opposing group consisted of more than ten people, all of whom were merely Loyal Minions level, so they did not know Skyward Martial Arts. Their ability to leap into the air relied solely on their physical fitness, which meant they could not change direction in mid-air and could only charge toward the cave.
The Black-Furred Man was at the forefront, his face filled with terror as Ye Tian looked at him with a cold smile.
"Back again?" Ye Tian had his hands clasped behind his back, a wicked grin playing at the corners of his mouth.
The Black-Furred Man had previously witnessed Ye Tian's speed and knew that taking his life would be as easy as child's play for him. Thus, Ling Kong shouted, "Spare me!"
"But you have already disappointed me." As he spoke the last part, Ye Tian's tone suddenly grew heavier. He then thrust out his left palm, which shone with golden light.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the Black-Furred Man let out a miserable howl as he was sent flying. In reality, Ye Tian did not directly strike him with Thunder Palm; it was mainly because he was in mid-air and unable to control himself, essentially crashing into the Thunder Palm instead...
Ye Tian intended to toy with this person for his own amusement. However, during this moment, several other black-clad individuals had already leaped into the cave and charged toward Ye Tian.
"Unaware of their own mortality," Ye Tian coldly surveyed them. Yet these individuals showed no signs of fear; they all drew daggers from their waists, their eyes revealing a fierce intent to kill.
They did not carry swords or larger weapons, indicating that they had discussed and planned this beforehand. Since they lacked Skyward Martial Arts skills, they could only jump into the air; thus, leaving behind swords for more agile daggers was indeed the right choice.
Of course, Ye Tian was not concerned about what kind of weapons they used because, given their caliber, they posed no threat to him at the moment. What worried Ye Tian was their plan and how it was set up. Since it was a well-thought-out plan, it was clear that these individuals were merely sacrificial pawns; what came next was what Ye Tian truly needed to guard against.
It was also at this point that Ye Tian finally understood why the Black-Furred Man was at the front—given his character and courage, he was indeed suited to be a scapegoat.
In contemplation, the dagger sliced toward Ye Tian's neck like a venomous snake, moving swiftly and with precision.
Ye Tian retreated half an inch to evade it, a hint of approval in his eyes. Although this person was not highly skilled as a Martial Sovereign, remaining calm under pressure was indeed rare; with proper training, he might become a talent.
However, a talent is still just a bandit's talent. Ye Tian raised his arm and extended his palm, transforming it into a finger technique mid-motion. When it landed on the person, the Bagua Seal Palm was perfectly executed, and in the blink of an eye, Nine Seals were applied.
All of this happened in an instant. After being struck by Ye Tian's Palm Seal, the man paused slightly. After a brief and rapid examination, he found nothing unusual and quickly retreated to prevent Ye Tian from launching a heavy attack.
As he withdrew, several others charged forward with daggers drawn. Due to the narrow entrance, the more than ten people could not all attack at once. Currently, two at a time were making their assault, but they still hindered each other somewhat.
Ye Tian effortlessly dodged the incoming daggers and then easily applied Nine Seals to them. These two reacted similarly to the previous man: they paused slightly, examined their injuries, and ultimately retreated.
"Retreating won't help," Ye Tian mocked before once again applying Nine Seals to the two who charged at him.
The reason for choosing Bagua Seal was not that Ye Tian wanted to appear mysterious; rather, it was because Palm Seal required significantly less energy compared to Thunder Palm. Thunder Palm was powerful, but there were over a hundred people below. If he used Thunder Palm to kill them all, he would likely exhaust himself before finishing. Moreover, Palm Seal's power was only slightly weaker than Thunder Palm's, more than sufficient to take their lives.
With the last two returning empty-handed, within just a few breaths, Ye Tian had applied Nine Seals to all ten or so individuals present. Their lives were now in Ye Tian's hands; he could take them whenever he wished.
"Get lost and tell your Fourth Master to come personally," Ye Tian did not immediately kill them because keeping them alive served another purpose.
The few remained unmoved by his words since Ye Tian had yet to demonstrate his true abilities. Mere words were ineffective; no one was easily intimidated, especially since they were bandits engaged in murder and robbery.
"Kill!"
It was unclear who shouted, but the second wave of attacks commenced once again.
Ye Tian still did not trigger Seal Technique; however, this time he struck heavily using the Cloud Rolling Palm learned from Cloud Sea Sect.
Cloud Rolling Palm appears gentle, but in reality, it combines softness with strength. Once unleashed, Martial Origin Power spreads like mist in the air. Since it is deep night and the light is dim, they didn't even notice the cloud-like Martial Origin Power enveloping the atmosphere.
"Uh..."
The person at the front murmured as he felt an invisible palm strike his abdomen.
"Ah!"
The second person shouted as well, but he fared worse; a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he was sent flying out of the cave, colliding with two others on the way.
After witnessing this scene, the remaining individuals finally realized Ye Tian's prowess and stopped their Footsteps, cautiously staring at Ye Tian.
"I didn't expect it to be so effective." Ye Tianxin secretly felt pleased. Previously, he had not taken Cloud Rolling Palm seriously; after all, in terms of power, Cloud Rolling Palm could not compare to Bagua Seal Palm and Thunder Palm. However, in terms of being elusive and difficult to defend against, Cloud Rolling Palm indeed held an advantage.
"Ah!"
A scream came from below, likely from someone who had fallen to the ground.
Everyone's hearts sank at the sound. From the moment that person was sent flying until they hit the ground, Ye Tian only stood still and waved his hands a few times without any other movement.
Could this be the legendary ability to strike from a distance?
This question arose in their minds as they exchanged glances filled with fear and hesitation. After all, facing someone who could send them flying without even moving was tantamount to inviting death by staying here.
Of course, they were unaware that even if they escaped the cave, their lives were already firmly grasped in Ye Tian's hands.
"Get lost!"
Ye Tian saw the thoughts of the crowd and coldly shouted, exuding an imposing presence. Upon hearing his words, the crowd no longer hesitated and hurriedly turned around before jumping out of the cave.
As a few people left, shouts and curses immediately erupted from below. Ye Tian took a couple of steps forward to look down, where Fourth Master was flanked by two burly men holding torches. In the flickering light, Ye Tian saw that several people were indeed kneeling before Fourth Master, enduring scolding. However, it was not Fourth Master who was scolding them, but the burly man beside him.
At this moment, Fourth Master was looking up, his gaze still sharp as an eagle. Ye Tian met his eyes and a teasing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting."
This phrase was spoken by Fourth Master, but his voice was too soft for Ye Tian to hear. However, with the light from the torches, Ye Tian could clearly see his lips moving.
Due to the darkness and Ye Tian lacking a torch, he had no intention of sparring verbally with Fourth Master. Just as he prepared to step back to brace for another round of attacks, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, illuminating the forest as bright as day.
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Tian sneered again and beckoned to Fourth Master with a finger.
"Come up if you dare." This was how everyone interpreted Ye Tian's gesture.
"You’re asking for death!" This was what everyone besides Fourth Master speculated about his inner thoughts.
However, they were mistaken. To their surprise, Fourth Master actually smiled back, and it was a very amiable smile. This kind of friendliness was something they had never seen before, but even if they hadn't seen it, they understood what this smile meant—it was likely even more chilling than a sneer.
Seeing this, Ye Tian returned a mysterious grin and then parted his thin lips to utter a word with piercing clarity.
With the word "Break" leaving his mouth, the bodies of those kneeling before Fourth Master suddenly exploded, blood splattering everywhere along with the rain. Naturally, Fourth Master could not escape unscathed.
Blood splattered onto Fourth Master's face and trickled down with the rainwater.
Ye Tian expected this person to fly into a rage, but unexpectedly, he was a pervert; he continued to smile and even extended his tongue to lick away the blood that had dripped to the corner of his mouth...
Everything happened in an extremely short period of time. Ye Tian wanted to say something more, but the light flashed and disappeared, plunging the world back into darkness. In this stark contrast, the Forest seemed even darker.
Taking advantage of this moment, the second wave of attack had already begun. The sound of air being cut through was heard, but there were only a few—about three people—making up one-fifth of the attacking force.
Upon hearing the noise, Ye Tian retreated, giving way to the narrow entrance of the cave, stopping only after ten zhang.
The fifteen attackers from the second wave all entered the cave shortly after. With Ye Tian no longer guarding it, they were able to gather in the spacious area. Seeing that Ye Tian had no intention of attacking, they surrounded him.
After surrounding Ye Tian, they began to slowly close in, still wielding their daggers, glinting coldly. However, in the face of this situation, Ye Tian not only ignored them but even closed his eyes.
Whether this was arrogance or a tactic to lure them in did not cross their minds; in their eyes, Ye Tian's actions were simply an opportunity—a pure opportunity.
Thus, they rushed forward all at once. Some shouted encouragements, some gritted their teeth, some remained silent, and some had fierce glints in their eyes.
However, just as all fifteen daggers were half a foot away from Ye Tian, he suddenly opened his eyes. A flash of Kanazawa erupted from his gaze, sharp as lightning.
Next, a whirlpool of Martial Origin Power with a diameter of a full zhang suddenly formed beside Ye Tian. The whirlpool generated immense suction, wildly tearing at each person as if it were an endless black hole.
With their strength, none could effectively resist such suction; at most, they could hold on for a moment before being pulled into the center of the vortex and shredded by the opposing forces contained within.
Wails and screams echoed from the cave, causing those preparing for a third wave of attack below to feel their hearts tremble. The cries were so tragic that they sounded like the ferocious howls of hellish demons, and the dark cave entrance resembled a sinister portal to Avici Hell.
