Bang!
Black Maitreya finally landed "without any surprises," accompanied by a loud crash. The dust he stirred up was even more intense than that raised by Ye Tian when he crashed into the large tree.
"Fifth Leader!"
"Fifth Leader, are you okay?"
Seeing Fifth Leader Black Maitreya finally touch down, the group of Loyal Minions who had previously dodged and fled rushed forward, eager to help and flatter him.
Black Maitreya was helped up by five or six Loyal Minions. After shaking his head for a while, he finally regained his senses. The fall had truly knocked him for a loop.
"Get the hell away from me!" Once Black Maitreya came to, he waved his arm and pushed aside those who were trying to curry favor.
"Bah!" After spitting out a thick phlegm, Black Maitreya wiped his mouth with his sleeve and strode back into the arena.
This clash ended with both individuals being knocked back, neither gaining an advantage. However, this did not mean their strengths were equal. When Black Maitreya struck, he did not expect Ye Tian to recover from his daze so quickly and retaliate, so he did not use his full strength. Likewise, Ye Tian had changed tactics on the fly and could not unleash all his power either.
Despite this reality, the outcome provided a strong sensory experience for the spectators. At this moment, the members of the Cold Family were all cheering excitedly, filled with pride.
"Leaf Young Master is amazing!"
"The clash between Warrior Definition and Martial Master ended in a draw!"
"Does that fat guy dare to be arrogant this time?"
The brothers of the Cold Family shouted loudly, some praising Ye Tian's prowess while others mocked Black Maitreya. Although they were loyal and brave, their long-standing position at the bottom of the hierarchy had unconsciously fostered a master-servant mentality. Right now, Ye Tian was their unspoken master or leader, and since their leader had gained prominence, they naturally wanted to bask in that glory as well.
"You sons of bitches are talking nonsense!"
"You dog-farting bastards!"
"Our Fifth Leader just got careless for a moment, don't get too arrogant!"
The Loyal Minions of Black Wind Stronghold exchanged harsh words for the same reason; their master had lost face, and they naturally had to defend him, which could also be aptly described as a rationalization.
"Shut the hell up!"
Amidst the chaotic noise, Black Maitreya suddenly shouted, his voice unintentionally infused with Martial Origin Power, instantly drowning out all the insults and cutting through the commotion.
If the hard confrontation had stirred up strong emotions among those underlings, then Black Maitreya was practically losing control of his own feelings.
Earlier, he had been hurling insults at Ye Tian and acting provocatively with disdain. Even when Boss Hu Lue had advised him, he had maintained an indifferent demeanor. But now that it had come to a real confrontation, he found himself at a disadvantage, which truly made him feel embarrassed beyond belief.
"This guy is getting desperate, hahaha!"
"He can't take a loss!"
After Black Maitreya's roar, there was silence in the arena for a moment, but it was only brief. The members of the Cold Family soon regained their composure and began mocking him again.
"I'll curse your ancestors, Ye Tian! I swear I'm going to skin you alive today!" With these taunts directed at him, Black Maitreya's face turned even more sour. He gritted his teeth so hard that they made a clattering sound, and his large belly shook with anger as he gasped for breath.
"Everyone, stop talking," Ye Tian said to those from the Cold Family who were still mocking. He gestured for them to be quiet.
Seeing this, they finally calmed down, though each one still looked at Black Maitreya with mocking eyes.
"You better kneel and beg for mercy, or I swear I won't leave you with a whole corpse today!" Black Maitreya had returned to the scene, pointing at Ye Tian with a venomous tone.
"Fatty, you'd better get the hell out of my way. I don't want to waste my energy on you," Ye Tian replied with a faint smile, not at all intimidated by Black Maitreya's tone.
"You bastard! Do you really think I can't handle you..."
"Fifth Brother!" Just as Black Maitreya rolled up his sleeves, ready for another round, Hu Lue suddenly called out to him.
"Big Brother! Don't say anything. I'll take him down first and then listen to your lecture!" Black Maitreya was smart enough to know that when Hu Lue spoke to him in that tone, it meant he was about to be schooled.
"You get over here!" Hu Lue usually didn't speak like this; he only lost his patience when dealing with this Fifth Brother.
Seeing this, Ye Tian chuckled lightly and thought to himself, "It seems that this Black Wind Stronghold's Fifth Brother is not someone to be underestimated. He must have given Hu Lue a lot of headaches."
Fifth Brother saw that Hu Lue was insisting on calling him over and had no choice but to turn back. However, just before he turned away, he shot Ye Tian a characteristic glare with his big round eyes, seemingly calming down as he walked over to Hu Lue.
"Fifth Brother, have you forgotten what I told you?" Hu Lue patted the former's shoulder and said with frustration.
"What did you say?" Black Maitreya scratched his bald head, suddenly remembering and smiling, "I remember now; Big Brother told me to take out his underlings first."
"Right!" Hu Lue nodded. Although the former had only remembered later, this was already a decent performance for the dim-witted Black Maitreya.
"But why? He just went head-to-head with me. I found that as long as I insult him, it's enough; there's no need for so many twists and turns," Black Maitreya said, somewhat confused. Previously, Hu Lue had instructed him to charge into the Cold Family crowd for a massacre; if Ye Tian lost his temper then, the outcome would be predictable—everyone loses their rationality in such situations and tends to confront directly.
"How stupid can you be?" Hu Lue sighed in exasperation, wishing he could slap Black Maitreya.
"I really don't understand! Big Brother, please explain in detail," Black Maitreya said pitifully.
"Can your brute force even compare to what I'm saying? I want him to lose his rationality; the mindset during a life-and-death confrontation is crucial. I've told you this a hundred times! Look at how you acted just now! You were the first one to lose your cool!" Hu Lue was frustrated and finally slapped Black Maitreya.
Black Maitreya shrank back from the slap, looking quite comical, which immediately drew laughter from the members of the Cold Family.
"Old man, I don't believe in this evil! What mentality is this? Just watch how I tear him apart!" Black Maitreya was once again mocked by others, and his anger grew even stronger as he thought to himself.
"Big brother, I've noted it down. Don't worry, I'll definitely do as you say this time," Black Maitreya replied dismissively, not caring whether Hu Lue had anything else to say. He headed straight towards the Cold Family members, intending to unleash a massacre.
His actions were not meant to follow Hu Lue's instructions but were fueled by the repeated mockery from the Cold Family members. This situation had truly pushed him to his limits.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Ye Tian asked, seeing Black Maitreya approach the Cold Family with a murderous look on his face, his tone a mix of confusion and mockery.
However, this time Black Maitreya surprisingly did not retort. Instead, he continued forward, his fists gradually tightening, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
Seeing this, Ye Tian furrowed his brows and thought to himself, "He wouldn't be...?"
"Ah!"
A scream interrupted and confirmed Ye Tian's thoughts. Black Maitreya had reached the Cold Family members, swung his arm to grab one person, and then raised an iron rod to smash down on their head.
This scene happened too suddenly for anyone to intervene; many were still laughing at Black Maitreya. No one expected that the dignified Fifth Leader of Black Wind Stronghold would abandon his original opponent and suddenly unleash violence on those whose strength was incomparable to his own.
Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere as that person let out a scream, their head brutally smashed into pieces.
"..." Ye Tian was momentarily stunned by this situation. He never imagined there could still be such a person in this world because if it were him, he would never do something like this.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
In the brief moment that Ye Tian was in shock, screams rang out one after another. The disparity in strength was already vast, and with the suddenness of the attack, Black Maitreya had already taken the lives of three or four people in an instant. His methods were extremely cruel—either snapping throats or crushing skulls.
"You have such a vicious heart!" Even Wang Tiankuang, who was not known for his righteousness, felt a sense of shock at this situation. In other words, even he could not bring himself to commit such acts.
"He is not our Boss." Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti said calmly.
"Oh..." Wang Tiankuang realized he had misspoken and awkwardly responded, "This Hu Lue is truly malicious!"
"Heh, this is just a drop in the bucket." Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti seemed unfazed, as if he was used to such despicable tricks.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tiankuang instinctively turned to look at Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, a sudden worry rising in his heart. The saying goes, "Those who are close to vermilion turn red, and those who are close to ink turn black." Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was extremely cunning and deep-minded; having endured and contributed for so many years beside the murderer of his father was the best proof. Moreover, judging by his demeanor, he appeared to be a cold-blooded person. Was it really a good thing to bring him into the Wang family?
"Sky Mad Second Master, rest assured, I am not one to vie for power. There will absolutely be no situation where I usurp your Wang family. Otherwise, why would I rebel? Wouldn't it be better to directly eliminate Hu Lue and take the position of leader myself?" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti noticed Wang Tiankuang's concerns and spoke with a light smile.
"No, no, absolutely not! Brother Xu has misunderstood me," Wang Tiankuang said, his face turning red as he hurriedly explained awkwardly.
"Since I joined this Black Wind Stronghold, I have killed too many and made countless enemies. Coming to your Wang family is merely seeking a place to settle down," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti revealed his true reason for wanting to join the Wang family.
"I really did not doubt you, Brother Xu!" Wang Tiankuang continued to deny it, not admitting to his previous thoughts.
"Heh." Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti chuckled and continued, "It doesn't matter; time will reveal a person's true character. By the way, you also don't need to worry about me bringing any trouble to your Wang family. Once I join your family, I will change my name and surname and only assist from behind the scenes with strategies, avoiding any tasks that require me to show my face."
"Then wouldn't that be unfair to Brother Xu?" Upon hearing Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's words, Wang Tiankuang felt reassured. He thought this was the best outcome: gaining the strong support of Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti without attracting any trouble or worrying about him plotting against the Wang family. These were precisely the concerns he had before, and now they were resolved all at once, which was truly gratifying.
