The crowd had already been terrified by this bloodthirsty demon. Upon seeing Ye Tian return, they screamed and ran around in panic, not even having the thought of resistance.
Faced with these villains who were like ants on a hot stove, Ye Tian showed no mercy. With every strike of his hand, he ruthlessly took lives; calling him a demon was less fitting than calling him a god of death.
"Ahhh!"
Amid the screams, shattered bones flew and blood sprayed. Those who fell under Ye Tian's hands either had severed limbs or gaping wounds in their chests, or their heads were completely crushed…
Cold Moon felt sweat on her forehead. She had never witnessed such a hellish scene, but what shocked her even more was the person who had caused this carnage.
"Ye Tian…"
Cold Moon whispered his name in a voice so soft she could barely hear it herself. At that moment, she even wished that Ye Tian would stop the killing.
However, there was no sign of him halting; his eyes glowed with a frenzied golden light, and wherever his gaze fell, a life was extinguished.
Boom!
Just as Ye Tian was slaughtering indiscriminately, another loud noise echoed from another part of the cave's perimeter, followed by a rumble as stones collapsed and the ground shook.
"Hmm?" Ye Tian paused his actions and looked back in confusion. The explosion sound came from the cave entrance, which was not far away. Ye Tian even felt a violent wave of heat sweeping toward him.
The presence of an explosion indicated that there was still fighting going on, and if there was fighting, it meant Yun'er and the others were still alive…
A few loyal minions saw Ye Tian lost in thought and cautiously slipped past him. The bolder ones began to show glimmers of ferocity in their eyes.
Ye Tian seemed to be lost in thought, remaining motionless for a while. This was precisely what gave the Loyal Minions the courage they needed. Some among them had begun to shake off their fear, and they understood very well that even if they managed to escape during this moment of distraction, Ye Tian would not let them go once he regained his senses. Given this, they figured it would be better to take a gamble; while Ye Tian was dazed, they would all work together to strike him down.
The idea was appealing, but before they could put it into action, they encountered the first challenge—the most straightforward yet the hardest to resolve: who would make the first move?
After a brief and silent discussion, their gazes unanimously settled on the three fingers raised.
"One..."
"Two..."
"Three!"
Once they completed their silent countdown, over ten people lunged at Ye Tian from various directions, their weapons whistling through the air as they targeted his vital points.
Cold Moon had also been momentarily stunned, but compared to Ye Tian, she was much more alert. Seeing the group attack together, she couldn't help but exclaim; even if Ye Tian possessed incredible abilities, he wouldn't be able to withstand such an assault without any defenses.
Moreover, Ye Tian showed no signs of defense whatsoever.
He was still in a daze, preoccupied with thoughts of Yun'er’s situation.
From the first Thunderous Sound to the one just now, approximately a quarter of an hour had passed. By common sense, Fourth Master should have easily resolved the battle by now. The second Thunderous Sound indicated that the fight was still ongoing, but how had Yun'er managed to hold on until now?
"Blood Sect Secret Technique!"
A sudden clarity surged in Ye Tian's mind as he recalled that night when Forest had followed them. In the end, Old Master and others had spoken with Yun'er about controlling something. At that time, Ye Tian had been confused; now he realized that Yun'er must possess some immense power from the Blood Sect within her!
A sense of enlightenment and joy flooded his heart. If Yun'er had indeed activated the Blood Sect Secret Technique in a critical moment, then judging by these two thunderous sounds, it was very likely that Fourth Master could not do anything to Yun'er.
"Three!"
Just as Ye Tian was filled with joy, a sudden shout of "three" interrupted his thoughts. He focused his gaze and saw several blades shimmering with various colors of energy, already slashing towards him.
"Seeking death!"
Ye Tianxin felt a surge of anger. Earlier, when he had not completely fallen into deep thought, he had noticed the few people trying to escape. He simply chose to ignore them. However, these remaining individuals not only refused to leave but also dared to target Ye Tian. This was truly a path to self-destruction.
With a loud shout, the group of villains trembled in fear, but the blades that were about to strike Ye Tian filled their hearts with a glimmer of hope.
In just half an inch, the sword in hand could pierce this kid's heart. With just a bit more force, the sharp Steel Blade would surely sever the boy's head.
However, in the next moment, what happened to Ye Tian caused their previously boiling blood to suddenly cool.
Whoosh!
With a gentle whisper, Ye Tian's body suddenly became ethereal, as if surrounded by vast clouds. When the blades struck, it felt as though they were hitting cotton…
His figure became indistinct; they could only sense the clouds continuously expanding, and in an instant, all ten or so people were enveloped within.
"Where is he?!" The group of villains huddled together, their expressions filled with panic and fear.
"There!" Suddenly someone exclaimed as he spotted a glimmer of golden light shining through the mist.
"Ah!"
A scream erupted; he indeed discovered Ye Tian's presence, but it was too late.
Blood splattered, hitting the face of the person beside him. That person jolted and instinctively drew his sword to strike.
Swish...
The sharp blade pierced through the chest, but the one who fell was one of their own...
In the hazy white mist, everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit; even the slightest sound could send a jolt of pain through their minds, as if they could not bear this extreme oppression and might go mad at any moment.
"Could this be...?"
Cold Moon could not see Ye Tian's figure clearly, but she recognized that this was the defensive martial art "Phantom Cloud" of the Cloud Sea Sect.
Phantom Cloud was a defensive martial art created by Xuanyuan Changfeng, renowned within the Cloud Sea Sect. Its characteristic was that once it was activated, the practitioner would be enveloped in a cloud-like aura, making it difficult for others to see them clearly. Moreover, the cloud could move rapidly with the practitioner without dissipating, allowing them to freely change their position within the cloud.
At present, Ye Tian's mastery was still shallow; he could only summon a cloud layer extending one zhang (about 3.3 meters) through Transformation. It was said that when Xuanyuan Changfeng exerted himself fully, the cloud could reach ten zhang in width.
"Has he already mastered such martial arts...?" Cold Moon's eyes were filled with astonishment. As a direct disciple herself, she had also learned martial arts from Qin Fufeng, but despite two years of effort, she had not gained any understanding of such exquisite techniques.
Yet Ye Tian had only been in the mountains for just over a month and was already able to successfully perform Phantom Cloud; this was truly incredible.
Ye Tian was unaware of Cold Moon's admiration for him, and he did not even know that Phantom Cloud was a personal martial art of Xuanyuan Changfeng. In his mind, it was merely an Earth Level One defensive martial art, a common technique that everyone could learn—nothing remarkable about it.
What he had just performed was simply a spur-of-the-moment decision; he thought this technique would be suitable for resolving the current situation and never expected Phantom Cloud to have such remarkable utility.
At this moment, Ye Tian had no choice but to reassess the martial arts of the Cloud Sea Sect. Previously, he had used Cloud Rolling Palm to catch his opponents off guard, and now he had come to appreciate the mysterious intricacies of Phantom Cloud. It seemed that his earlier belief that the martial arts of the Cloud Sea Sect were inferior to those of the Gossip palm series was truly a narrow-minded view.
As the mist floated away, a group of villains screamed in terror. Before long, the cloud dispersed, revealing Ye Tian's figure standing amidst a sea of corpses beneath him.
"Ye Tian," Cold Moon called softly as she quickly stepped forward.
"Let's go, Yun'er and the others might still be alive," Ye Tianxin urged, not caring about her words. She immediately turned and dashed towards the cave entrance.
Cold Moon had been focused on Ye Tian, so she hadn't analyzed the connection between the two Thunderous Sounds in detail. Hearing Ye Tian's words now sent a jolt through her heart, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.
Originally, both Cold Moon and Ye Tian thought they had encountered a disaster, which was why they had delayed for so long. However, after hearing Ye Tian's words, Cold Moon felt inexplicably certain that if Ye Tian said they were alive, then they must indeed be alive.
As close friends, the fact that they could survive brought genuine happiness to Cold Moon.
The cave was about ten miles away, and Ye Tian and Cold Moon were roughly in the middle of it, still about five miles from the entrance. For them, with their Skyward Martial Arts, this distance was not far at all.
After about half a stick of incense's time, the two appeared at the cave entrance.
At this moment, thick smoke billowed at the entrance, and scattered boulders covered the ground. Compared to before, it had completely transformed.
The two exchanged glances and saw surprise reflected in each other's eyes.
If their guesses were correct, these boulders were likely related to the previous two Thunderous Sounds. Given such immense power, it was hard to believe that Yun'er and the others had not perished.
Of course, this was Cold Moon's thought process and the reason for her astonishment.
Ye Tian's surprise was different; his astonishment stemmed from Yun'er. He was amazed that Yuner's Blood Sect Secret Technique could withstand such powerful attacks.
"There’s no one here; they must have fought their way into the dense forest," Cold Moon said after sensing for a moment.
Ye Tian nodded. In fact, he had already sensed it—about five miles to the south of the dense forest, two distinct energies different from Martial Origin Power were clashing with each other.
Uncertain whether it was related to the Blood Sect Secret Technique and Crimson Dragon Blood, Ye Tian could only sense a hint of Martial Origin Power. However, his perception of these two auras extended an astonishing five miles away.
"Hmm?"
Just as Ye Tian nodded, several auras of Martial Origin Power suddenly appeared behind him in the cave. Cold Moon also sensed it and furrowed her brows as she looked at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian turned back in surprise, golden light once again shimmering in his palm.
In the dark passageway, footsteps gradually echoed. Judging by the sound, there should be three individuals approaching.
"Could it be Wine Kid and the others?" Cold Moon asked in confusion.
Ye Tian shook his head slightly, still unsure. Excluding Yun'er, who might be battling Fourth Master, if it were Wine Kid and the others, there should be four sets of footsteps instead.
