"Go to hell!"
With an excited roar, several Steel Blades tore through the air, aiming for Ye Tian's head.
"You all! Get away from me!!!"
His eyes suddenly widened, and a brilliant light shot forth. Ye Tian shouted fiercely, unleashing a torrent of elemental energy that surged like a storm.
Whoosh!
A fierce gust of wind swept through, causing the Xu Family members' Footsteps to falter.
"Get away!"
Ye Tian's figure erupted with energy, lightning dancing in his palms, the sound of Thunderstorm resonating in their hearts.
Before they could even react in shock, the few Xu Family members at the front felt a tearing pain in their bodies, and in their terrified eyes, they saw their own bodies exploding apart.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian unleashed several strikes, the explosive force of Bagua Thunder Palm reducing those blocking his path to mere fragments.
"He can't even channel elemental energy anymore!"
"Wu Xiaozhuang, you bastard, you got us into this mess!"
Ye Tian suddenly unleashed his power, causing the members of the Xu Family to feel a surge of fear. They glared at Wu Xiaozhuang, their eyes filled with hatred.
Compared to the long-silent Leng Wanli, this young man before them instilled a deeper sense of terror.
"Wu Xiaozhuang!" Ye Tian shouted, his figure darting like lightning towards the stunned Chubby Boy.
The hatred was overwhelming, and the killing intent was palpable!
"You..." Wu Xiaozhuang was dumbfounded. He had anticipated that Leng Wanli might cause some trouble since he was once a Martial Sovereign. However, after finally getting rid of Leng Wanli, he never expected Ye Tian to have regained his strength.
Ye Tian's figure rapidly enlarged in Wu Xiaozhuang's vision, leaving him no chance to react. Faced with Ye Tian's fierce onslaught, he could only brace himself for impact.
Bang!
Their palms clashed with a loud sound. Under the formidable power of Thunder Palm, Wu Xiaozhuang was sent flying like a broken rag doll.
Thud!
The short and chubby figure spewed a mouthful of blood mid-air before crashing into the water.
"Run!"
Seeing Wu Xiaozhuang being sent flying with a single strike, the Xu Family members instantly erupted into chaos, scrambling to escape in panic like ants on a hot pan.
"You all deserve to die!"
Hearing the shouts from behind, Ye Tian momentarily withdrew his gaze from Wu Xiaozhuang and slowly turned around, his eyes piercing like ice picks into the hearts of the Xu Family members.
"Ah! A ghost!"
A pale-faced man let out a terrible scream, frantically shouting as if he had lost his mind.
The reason for his reaction was that he had witnessed Ye Tian's hellish slaughter just a few days ago in a tavern. He was one of the survivors spared by Ye Tian, but unfortunately, upon hearing that Ye Tian had lost his powers, he momentarily lost his senses and foolishly sent himself back to the underworld.
"It’s you?!" Ye Tian's pupils constricted as he seemed to recognize the man.
"Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!!" The man staggered backward, trembling uncontrollably, his face twisted and exaggerated.
"Life is fragile, yet you do not cherish it..." Ye Tian slightly closed his eyes and exhaled gently.
"Then you have no one to blame but yourself!" As he opened his eyes again, before the words had even left his mouth, his figure had already appeared in front of the man.
"Ah!!"
Accompanied by a piercing scream, the man's head tilted, and his neck was snapped.
The gruesome death of their companion did not ignite the fighting spirit among the Xu Family members; instead, they became even more terrified, trembling and looking around as if they would immediately find a crack in the ground to hide in.
Crack!
Another thunderous sound echoed, followed by heavy raindrops beginning to fall.
Whispers screeched, sweeping through the Pavilion by the Lake. The sound, a mournful wail, echoed like the cries of hell to everyone present.
In the scene, fear mingled with murderous intent, creating an atmosphere dominated by these two emotions.
The fear concentrated in a small area, emanating from the terrified members of the Xu Family. In contrast, the murderous intent filled the entire space like an overwhelming storm, originating from the figure of a young man amidst the tempest.
The rain poured down...
The relentless downpour mercilessly battered everything in its path. These fragile beings, who had just reveled in their murderous intentions, found themselves transformed into lambs awaiting slaughter in an instant.
Gazing at the darkened sky and then at the panicked figures fleeing, Ye Tian moved his thin lips slightly, as if reflecting or whispering, coldly stating, “Life is like this; if you don’t cherish it, no one will care!”
Whoosh!
Suddenly moving, he created a sound of breaking air as he unleashed Yuqi Tayan Jue. Ye Tian’s figure surged forward like a Dragon, cutting through the storm towards those lives that were destined to end.
“Don’t kill me! Please don’t kill me!” Many of those from the Xu Family who had come with Wu Xiaozhuang were among those whom Ye Tian had previously spared in the tavern. Yet they showed no remorse and attempted to take advantage of him. Before they arrived, they had even fantasized about humiliating Ye Tian to their heart's content...
“If I remember correctly, I gave you a chance.” Ye Tian’s expression was indifferent, his tone icy. In this dim and oppressive atmosphere, he resembled a reaper returning once more.
“Please... please...” One man crawled on the ground, clutching at Ye Tian’s clothing.
Whoosh!
With another swift movement, Ye Tian turned and headed in another direction.
"He didn't kill me? He didn't kill me! Hahaha!" The man laughed excitedly as if he had just escaped from the gates of hell.
"Hahaha... uh..."
As he laughed, a sudden numbness struck his throat, followed by a chilling sensation that seeped out. In fear, he reached out to touch it; it was wet and sticky, somewhat warm. It felt different from rainwater; it was the temperature of... blood.
Whoosh!
Ye Tian suddenly hurled the Steel Blade embedded in the man's neck, accompanied by a sharp ringing sound, striking like a venomous snake into the back of another fleeing person's heart.
"Uh..."
Before a scream could escape, only a low groan was heard as the figure collapsed, blood flowing out.
Due to the earlier fierce fighting and some being shot while falling into the water, only about twenty members of the Xu Family remained.
The young figure moved like a reaper in this stormy night, cutting through the crowd. Wherever he passed, blood splattered and cries echoed. The people were terrified to the core, seemingly too frightened to even think of resisting, allowing Ye Tian to slaughter them effortlessly like a tiger among sheep.
Crack!
Thunder rumbled again, and another thunderous sound echoed across the sky. The torrential rain grew more violent, pounding down on the ground and even stirring up thick mist.
Swish!
The flash of the blade disappeared in an instant, and a figure fell in response.
"Wu Xiaozhuang, it's your turn now!" Ye Tian withdrew his gaze from the last fallen body and looked far into the distance at the figure desperately fleeing across the lake.
The rain pounded against the Lake Surface, bubbling like a boiling pot, sending up clouds of mist. Wu Xiaozhuang wiped the rainwater from his eyes and turned back to look at the shore.
There, a somewhat thin figure stood amidst the wind and rain. Although it was quite far away, the chilling murderous intent emanating from it made his scalp tingle involuntarily.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Xiaozhuang gritted his teeth and gathered all his strength to swim rapidly toward the opposite shore.
Having just been knocked into the water by Ye Tian, he initially thought that the latter would pursue him, so he didn't dare to look for the raft and focused solely on escaping. After swimming several miles, he turned back to see that Ye Tian was not in a hurry to chase him but was surprisingly standing on the shore, seemingly having lost track of him.
"Damn it, as long as I can survive and return, it'll be worth it. At least I managed to take down Leng Wanli!" Wu Xiaozhuang cursed under his breath and continued to swim desperately.
On the lakeside, atop a Pavilion, Ye Tian took a deep look at Leng Wanli's corpse and felt guilty in his heart: " Grandpa Leng, it's all my fault for being careless. But don't worry, if I let Wu Xiaozhuang escape today, I'll rush back to Spirit Martial Town tomorrow and wipe out the Wu Family to avenge you!"
It turned out that Leng Wanli was able to withstand the Black Fiend Beam and push forward not because he had truly regained his strength, but because he had once been a powerful Martial Sovereign. Over the past decade, he had gradually recovered through secret methods he had comprehended. Thus, while his physical capacity did not reach its peak, it was still formidable compared to the Martial Unity Definition.
Of course, everyone, including Ye Tian, believed he had regained his strength. That was why Ye Tian did not intervene when he faced the Black Fiend Beam.
However, lacking support from Yuan Power meant that when faced with Wu Xiaozhuang's full-force attack, he ultimately could not withstand it. The overwhelming power of the Black Fiend Beam shattered his chest and crushed his heart.
This was also the reason for Ye Tian's current guilt.
"Grandpa Leng, I will bring back Wu Xiaozhuang's head to see you, otherwise..." Ye Tian paused and said solemnly, "I will take my own life as an apology!"
After saying that, Ye Tian no longer hesitated. His figure leaped forward towards the fleeing Wu Xiaozhuang in the lake.
Splash!
Footsteps lightly tapped on the water's surface. Ye Tian soared into the air again, using Spirit Swallow Transformation. With just a few leaps, he closed the distance to less than a few meters.
"Wu Xiaozhuang! Today is your day of death!" Ye Tian shouted loudly, his brows filled with intense killing intent.
Compared to Ye Tian, who possessed Yuqi Tayan Jue, Wu Xiaozhuang was swimming away. Even though he had fled for a long time, he was still easily caught up by Ye Tian.
Hearing the sudden shout, Wu Xiaozhuang trembled all over and thought in shock, "He came so quickly!"
With his pupils constricting, Ye Tian also looked at the visibly shaken figure. His inner energy surged, and his speed increased even more.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Wu Xiaozhuang cursed inwardly, took a deep breath, and plunged his hands into the water. With a splash, his short and stout figure suddenly dove into the water and disappeared from sight.
