The four reached an agreement and quickly headed towards the location where the Cold Family was stationed. However, along the way, Wang Tiankuang was extremely reluctant. In his heart, he felt that they were not just going back to rescue the Cold Family members, but also that group of traitors.
Nevertheless, under Ye Tian's continuous urging, Wang Tiankuang had no choice but to compromise, as the temptation of the Divine Dragon Treasure was simply too great for him.
After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, they arrived at the edge of a dense forest. At this point, they could vaguely hear the sounds of people talking loudly deep within the woods.
Ye Tian frowned deeply, feeling an inexplicable pang in his heart, a sense of foreboding rising within him.
"Quick!" Ye Tian urged as he turned back. In reality, their speed was already quite fast.
Wang Tiankuang exchanged glances with the other two. After weighing the pros and cons, they quickened their pace a bit more.
Among the four, Wang Tiankuang was moving the slowest because both Ye Tian and Windwalker Young Master possessed aerial techniques, and Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti also had some agility skills. Additionally, due to Wang Tiankuang's serious illness, he gradually fell behind.
"Damn it! For some lowly servants, they're forcing me to hurry. Just wait until I get the Divine Dragon Treasure; I'll make sure to kill that scoundrel!" Wang Tiankuang cursed under his breath, feeling frustrated.
Ye Tian slightly turned his head back. He naturally heard Wang Tiankuang's harsh words. Already worried about everyone's safety, hearing such remarks made him even more displeased, so he intended to scold him a bit.
However, just as he turned around, an unusual sensation suddenly surged in his chest. It felt like an ant biting at his heart but also like being pricked by steel needles; in short, it was very painful.
"Ugh..." Under such pain, Ye Tian couldn't help but let out a low cry, and his speed immediately slowed down.
The other three were taken aback and looked at Ye Tian with confusion.
"Young Master Ye?" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti asked tentatively in a low voice.
Ye Tian waved his hand to indicate that he was fine and urged everyone to continue moving forward without wasting any time.
Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashing across his face, before he stepped forward to continue on.
Windwalker Young Master and Wang Tiankuang quickly followed, both casting glances at Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, seemingly seeking his opinion.
"Did he get injured during the fight with Earthshatter Tai Sui?" Wang Tiankuang glanced back at Ye Tian, who was crouched on the ground with his hand over his chest, and asked in a low voice.
Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti did not respond, but Windwalker Young Master shook his head and said, "No, he has been using Skyward Martial Arts frequently while traveling. If he were injured during the fight, he shouldn't be showing it now."
"Then what is going on?" Wang Tiankuang turned to Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, hoping for an answer. Although Windwalker Young Master had denied that Ye Tian was injured, he had not provided a reasonable explanation.
Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti frowned slightly, pondering for a moment before speaking. However, instead of answering Wang Tiankuang's question, he countered with another question: "What does Sky Mad Second Master intend to do?"
"Regardless of whether he is injured or not, it seems like he can't help us at all!" Wang Tiankuang glanced back at Ye Tian again; the latter was still half-crouched on the ground, looking very pained.
Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti looked at the murderous expression on Wang Tiankuang's face and said softly, "Let's wait and see. If he is still like this in another moment, then..."
He made a slicing gesture across his neck with his hand.
"That suits me just fine!" Wang Tiankuang nodded in satisfaction. If Ye Tian could not be of any use to them, then eliminating him would be the best choice.
"Ah!"
As they spoke, a sudden long howl came from Ye Tian's direction, the sound intense and seemingly filled with pain.
"Should we make a move?" Wang Tiankuang felt impatient at this point; he wished to rush to the Dragon's Tribulation Site immediately. It seemed unwise to waste time on someone who had no value.
"Could it be..." Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti exclaimed softly, his eyes flashing with light as he slowly shook his head.
"What is it?" Wang Tiankuang asked with a frown.
“Sky Mad Second Master, please be patient for a moment.” Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti did not respond but instead reassured Wang Tiankuang to continue observing.
“What’s there to look at!” Wang Tiankuang cursed inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged as he patiently continued to look at Ye Tian.
At this moment, Ye Tian's body had undergone a subtle change; he was enveloped in a faint glow that was barely noticeable unless one looked closely.
However, aside from Wang Tiankuang, whose eyesight was poor, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti and Windwalker Fan Fenglin, being extraordinary individuals, could naturally perceive something unusual about Ye Tian.
“Brother Xu, let’s take action! I don’t see the need to wait any longer!” Wang Tiankuang could not see clearly, so he didn’t realize anything, which was why he was losing patience.
Upon hearing this, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti seemed to remember something and said to Wang Tiankuang: “I apologize, I forgot that Second Uncle has an eye ailment.”
At this point, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti paused for a moment, carefully looked at Ye Tian again, and then continued: “Sky Mad Second Master, do you remember the initial feeling when you broke through to Martial Mastery?”
“...” Wang Tiankuang was taken aback by this nonsensical question and was somewhat confused. After a moment of reflection, he asked, “I remember; it felt like my body was being pierced by ten thousand steel needles, it was truly unbearable. But why are you asking this?”
“And what happened next? What were the symptoms?” Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti did not answer but asked again.
“Next, my skin felt tight, and my ears were filled with a buzzing sound, much faster than the vibrations of the Elemental Force Cyclone.” Although puzzled, Wang Tiankuang still answered. During these past few days with Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, he had already regarded him as a strategist.
“That’s right!” Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti clapped his hands as if he had received a satisfactory answer.
“Brother Xu, stop keeping me in suspense. What’s right?” Wang Tiankuang, with his rough temperament, became somewhat displeased after several attempts to get an answer.
“Second Uncle, please don’t rush. What I just asked was to confirm Ye Tian’s condition,” Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti replied with cupped hands.
Upon hearing this, Wang Tiankuang became even more displeased and cursed inwardly: “Why don’t you just call yourself Thunderstorm, instead of keeping me in suspense? You’re asking me about my breakthrough symptoms instead of telling me about Ye Tian’s condition; are you out of your mind?”
After finishing his internal rant, Wang Tiankuang took a deep breath, composed himself, and calmly asked: “So what is his condition?”
"Just now, Second Uncle mentioned the symptoms he experienced during his breakthrough. My brother and I had almost the same experience as you, although there were slight differences, they were mostly similar. From what I observe about Ye Tian, I estimate that he is about to break through as well," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti finally concluded.
"What!" Wang Tiankuang exclaimed in shock. He first heard the name Ye Tian a year ago from his nephew Wang Hu, at that time Ye Tian was just a worthless four-stage Warrior Threshold...
To go from a martial artist to a Martial Master in just one year? What does that even mean?
"That's impossible... Brother Xu must have made a mistake," Wang Tiankuang said, unable to believe it. In his understanding, the fastest person to reach Martial Master from being a martial artist was his elder brother's son, Wang Weiyang, who took four years.
But Wang Weiyang, who took four years, was already hailed as a once-in-a-thousand-years genius in Spirit Martial Town. How should they refer to Ye Tian, who achieved this feat four times faster?
Genius? That seems inadequate. A prodigy? That also doesn't quite fit. Perhaps the terms monster or freak could barely suffice.
"There's absolutely no doubt; he must be breaking through," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti said with certainty.
"He was still a Warrior Threshold just a year ago?!" Wang Tiankuang asked in disbelief.
"A year ago?!"
Upon hearing this news, even someone as calm and composed as Annihilator couldn't help but exclaim.
"Second Uncle, don't joke around; such a thing is simply impossible." After the initial shock, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti quickly regained his composure and thought to himself: "Either Wang Tiankuang heard it wrong, or Ye Tian has been hiding his strength. In any case, it's absolutely impossible to go from being a martial artist to a Martial Master in just one year."
"I’m not joking; you must be the one joking!" Wang Tiankuang said excitedly, grabbing Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's shoulders. "Look again; is he really breaking through?"
"No need to look again; he is undoubtedly breaking through," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti pushed away Wang Tiankuang's hands on his shoulders and replied coldly.
"This... this..." Wang Tiankuang didn't pay attention to that but instead rubbed his hands anxiously, looking extremely worried.
"Sky Mad Second Master, why are you so concerned?" Windwalker Young Master finally interjected. He could see that after Wang Tiankuang's shock, he was worried about something else, so he asked knowingly.
"Reaching Martial Master in a year, what about next year? The year after? Our Wang family has a grudge against him!" Wang Tiankuang said without hesitation, revealing the panic in his heart. At that moment, he felt like an ant on a hot pan, thrown into disarray by this sudden blow.
Windwalker Young Master scoffed lightly and said, "Is that what Second Uncle is worried about? That makes it quite easy to handle."
"Just kill him," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti interjected calmly.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Tiankuang suddenly realized, feeling as if he had grasped a lifeline. He laughed and said, "Just kill him! I'll go kill him right now; he's in the middle of a breakthrough and won't be able to resist!"
"But what about Divine Dragon? If we kill him, who will fight Hu Lue to the death? How can we then reap the benefits?"
Wang Tiankuang, who had already taken a step forward, paused again after hearing Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's words. He pondered for a long time before finally walking back to the latter's side and gritted his teeth, saying, "Still, Divine Dragon is more important. If we obtain the Divine Dragon Treasure, why would we worry about a small Ye Tian?"
"Second Uncle is wise," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti replied with a faint smile and cupped his hands in respect.
Wang Tiankuang returned the gesture with a forced smile but inwardly cursed, "You *** Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, I’ll tolerate you for a few days for the sake of the Divine Dragon Treasure. Once we return to the Wang family, I’ll settle the score."
In fact, Wang Tiankuang's resentment was not without reason. Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's earlier statement was clearly telling Wang Tiankuang: "If you kill Ye Tian, I, Windwalker Fan Fenglin, will never confront Hu Lue head-on and become your cannon fodder. If you want to find Divine Dragon, you'll have to subdue Hu Lue yourself."
Of course, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's actions were not for the sake of Ye Tian, as Ye Tian's life or death had little to do with them. Even if Ye Tian became extraordinarily powerful in the future, his enemies would only be the Wang family. However, if he died now, it would eliminate a crucial piece that could replace them in risking their lives against Hu Lue.
