"Do you think you can escape like this?"
At this moment, Ye Tian had completely caught up. A hint of disdainful cold laughter appeared at the corner of his mouth, scoffing at Wu Xiaozhuang's suicidal method.
His body floated gracefully on the water's surface, moving back and forth like a spirit. Whenever he felt exhausted, he would lightly touch the water and leap back into the air.
Gurgle...
Underwater, a short and stout figure had a purple face, with veins bulging on his forehead, clearly struggling to hold his breath.
"At this rate, I'll suffocate!" Wu Xiaozhuang began to feel anxious. Although he was swimming quickly underwater, he was still several miles away from the shore. No matter how skilled he was in swimming, he couldn't hold his breath for that long.
"Damn it! He’s Ye Tian, a Seven-Section Warrior, but I, Wu Xiaozhuang, am also a Seven-Section Warrior! What am I afraid of?" Wu Xiaozhuang cursed inwardly and gritted his teeth, deciding to confront Ye Tian head-on.
"Wu Xiaozhuang, as a man, come out and fight fair!"
Even underwater, Ye Tian's clear voice reached Wu Xiaozhuang's ears. The corner of Wu Xiaozhuang's mouth twitched as he steeled himself. With a powerful push from his legs, he shot up like a big fish.
Splash...
The water surface suddenly broke apart as a figure leaped out, with swirling energy in his fist aimed directly at Ye Tian's vital point from behind.
With a smirk of disdain, Ye Tian turned around and struck out with his palm. In a flash of electric light, his palm collided heavily with Wu Xiaozhuang's fist.
Bang!
With a loud crash, an invisible shockwave radiated outward from the two of them, causing even the Lake Surface to ripple under the force of such fierce energy.
Since they were both suspended in mid-air, they were thrown backward. Ye Tian leaned back, gliding across the Lake Surface on one foot, leaving behind a long trail of water that looked quite graceful.
In contrast, Wu Xiaozhuang did not have such a dignified posture. He sank down and crashed into the water like a meteor, creating a splash that sent waves as high as a person.
Gurgle...
Facing off against the explosive power of Thunder Palm, Wu Xiaozhuang naturally found himself at a disadvantage. At this moment, his entire arm was numb with pain, and after plunging into the water with such force, he choked on several mouthfuls of lake water. He felt dizzy and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Is your only skill ambushing from behind?"
Although Wu Xiaozhuang was in a dire situation, Ye Tian's mocking voice still clearly reached his ears.
After struggling for a moment, Wu Xiaozhuang surged upward and broke through the surface of the water.
"Ye Tian, aren't you just relying on Yuqi Tayan Jue? If you have the guts, come to the shore and fight!" Wu Xiaozhuang shouted at Ye Tian, thinking to himself, "I need to provoke him to come ashore; otherwise, I will be at too great a disadvantage!"
In response to Wu Xiaozhuang's provocation, Ye Tian coldly smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking. Fine, I'll grant your wish."
With that, Ye Tian moved swiftly toward the shore while taunting, "I'll wait for you on the shore. I hope you can act like a man and not use this opportunity to escape."
For Wu Xiaozhuang, Ye Tian's current intention was no longer to kill him outright because that would be too easy for this treacherous person.
Killing also has its principles; it could be letting him die with hope of escape, or in fear, or in regret. In any case, he would not allow him to die easily.
He wanted to thoroughly kill Wu Xiaozhuang. As the saying goes, killing people is about striking at their hearts; this was Ye Tian's consistent approach to dealing with such scoundrels.
"Shut up!" Wu Xiaozhuang spat back, starting to swim towards the shore. However, the obvious flush on his face betrayed his true thoughts just moments before.
When Ye Tian suggested taking the opportunity to escape, Wu Xiaozhuang's heart did indeed skip a beat.
With a graceful movement, Ye Tian lightly tapped the water's surface and leaped several times, effortlessly covering dozens of meters. In a moment, he appeared on the opposite riverbank.
"Wu Xiaozhuang, aren't you good at swimming? Wouldn't it be better to be reincarnated as a turtle in your next life?" Ye Tian laughed as he looked at the figure still struggling in the water, mocking him.
Upon hearing this, anger rose on Wu Xiaozhuang's round, chubby face as he shouted back, "Bastard! You wild spawn! Don't get too cocky with your words; be careful I don't tear your mouth apart later!"
Wu Xiaozhuang cursed loudly, but deep down, he wasn't as tough as he sounded. Watching the riverbank draw closer, he instinctively slowed his swimming speed.
Of course, this did not escape Ye Tian's notice. Seeing Wu Xiaozhuang's obvious display of bravado masking his cowardice, Ye Tian scoffed and said disdainfully, "What's wrong? Just after I praised your swimming skills, you slow down. Are you embarrassed or... scared?"
Ye Tian had grown up on the streets and was skilled in banter and provocation. If he wanted to irritate someone, most people couldn't handle it.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Wu Xiaozhuang's face turned beet red because he truly felt scared. Not only was he scared, but it was so obvious that it made him a target for ridicule.
Compared to the chilling murderous intent from earlier, Ye Tian's continuous mockery now relaxed Wu Xiaozhuang's tense nerves. He even began to entertain an absurd thought: it seemed that Ye Tian wouldn't kill him...
Thinking this way eased his fear somewhat. So Wu Xiaozhuang laughed heartily and said, "Scared? You think a wild spawn like you can make me scared?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian looked at Wu Xiaozhuang with a faint smile and said nothing more.
Of course, the meaning behind this faint smile needs no further explanation.
Under such stimulation, Wu Xiaozhuang unexpectedly felt a surge of bravado. He used both arms to flip and tumble, and his speed suddenly increased significantly.
Moments later, Wu Xiaozhuang came ashore and spat heavily, saying, "Ye Tian, do you really think you can kill me?"
To his self-deceiving words, Ye Tian merely smiled and replied, "Give it a try."
"Cold Boyuan?!" While Ye Tian was speaking, Wu Xiaozhuang suddenly showed a look of fear, his gaze fixed on the distant trees by the shore.
Whoosh!
Whispers echoed as Ye Tian did not follow his gaze but instead charged forward. Blue electric light flickered in his palm as he struck out with a palm attack.
Wu Xiaozhuang frowned deeply. After taking that previous blow, his arm was still numb, and now he dared not take another hit. However, Ye Tian's speed was indeed too fast, so he could only use a low-level technique to evade the attack.
He rolled like a ball and quickly got back up, looking somewhat awkwardly at Ye Tian. Meanwhile, the forest nearby was silent; there was not even a shadow of Cold Boyuan.
"Heh heh, I've grown tired of this trick ten years ago," Ye Tian sneered dismissively.
Wu Xiaozhuang's face instantly turned ashen with rage as he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Ye Tian! Come on! Kill me! Do you have the ability to do that?!"
First he backed down, then he was seen through in his little trick. At this moment, Wu Xiaozhuang was so agitated that he nearly acted impulsively and began to provoke Ye Tian without considering whether he was truly a match for him.
"Heh heh, getting anxious? Don't worry; if I don't take your life, even the little ghosts in hell wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you." Ye Tian maintained a calm smile, giving off an impression that he was not facing a bitter enemy but rather brawling with a petty thug.
"Fuck you!" Wu Xiaozhuang cursed loudly, his figure suddenly moving.
He was genuinely furious; his irrational first strike revealed that despite his deep-seated composure, he was being toyed with in front of Ye Tian.
As Yuqi Tayan Jue was unleashed, Ye Tian easily dodged Wu Xiaozhuang's attack. Supported by Skyward Martial Arts and Jujutsu, as long as he wanted to evade, it was unlikely anyone of the same rank could even touch a hair on him.
Crackling...
Compared to his earlier disheveled appearance, Ye Tian gracefully evaded his own attack, which made Wu Xiaozhuang grit his teeth in anger. He squeezed out words through clenched teeth: "Bastard, if you have the guts, don't dodge! Let's see who can take it!"
"Sure," Ye Tian nodded in agreement, smiling lightly.
"Die!"
As soon as Ye Tian's words fell, Wu Xiaozhuang's short and stout figure shot forward like a meteor. The wind from his fist surged, instantly creating countless phantom fists in the air, showcasing formidable power.
"Yellow Rank Seven Wind Fist? Hmph, even worse than Brother Yang. You dare to show off in front of me?" Ye Tian scoffed. His words were not meant to belittle Cold Yang but to provoke Wu Xiaozhuang more thoroughly by invoking Cold Yang's name.
Wu Xiaozhuang had been competing with Cold Yang in secret for several years; how could he not be enraged at being compared unfavorably to him?
Sure enough, upon hearing Ye Tian's taunt, Wu Xiaozhuang's face twisted with hatred. In mid-air, he swung another fist with renewed vigor; both fists came together, and the power of the wind surged more than doubled. The countless phantom fists coalesced into one giant fist, carrying a torrent of elemental energy as it crashed down toward Ye Tian's head.
With pupils slightly constricted, Ye Tian awaited this moment. He aimed to defeat Wu Xiaozhuang with a single move while he was fully committed because such a blow would be far more painful for the prideful and unscrupulous Wu Xiaozhuang than death itself.
Crossing his hands over his chest, one palm formed into a fist while Lightning Flash surged. One hand formed seals, constantly shifting.
"Go die!" Wu Xiaozhuang's expression was fierce and violent as his fist descended.
Boom!
Thunder Palm met the attack with a thunderous sound, shattering the massive fist shadow. However, the fierce wind did not stop and continued to smash down towards Ye Tian.
"Hmph." Ye Tian curled his lips into a disdainful smile, his aura sinking as golden light flashed around him. The Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield appeared in response, rotating continuously around him.
Bang!
Another muffled sound echoed as the fierce wind was completely dispelled by the Bagua Pattern. Yet, a finger like a spirit snake pointed towards Ling Kong.
As the finger shadow drew closer in his vision, Wu Xiaozhuang's face quickly twisted in horror, baring his teeth. Although he appeared terrified, it was almost laughable.
Pop!
A light sound emerged as Ye Tian's finger swept by at an almost imperceptible speed. However, during that seemingly gentle motion, Wu Xiaozhuang's two fists were completely sealed by Nine Seals.
With the seal complete, Ye Tian floated back until he stood several feet away, his expression mocking like a cat playing with a mouse as he said, "I'll give you a chance. I'll count to three. If you can escape my sight, then your hands will be spared."
