Wang Tiankuang found it almost impossible to persuade Hu Lue, so he signaled to Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, intending to ask for a solution.
Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti understood and, after a moment of thought, said to Ye Tian, "Young Master Ye, regardless of the truth of what Hu Lue says, consider this: if you help him, what benefits will you ultimately gain?"
"You’re talking nonsense! I have already made it clear to Brother Ye the benefits involved; don’t try to sow discord!" Hu Lue was furious upon hearing Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's words and cursed loudly.
"Heh, old fool, Young Master Ye is no idiot. You might as well save your breath; can your little schemes really deceive him?" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti replied with a cold laugh, his words often praising Ye Tian.
Ye Tian smirked inwardly at these words. While they sounded like praise from Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, the underlying message was clear: if you believe him, you are a fool.
"Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti! You are nothing but an ingrate. If I hadn’t spared your life back then, would you even have the chance to speak so brazenly before me now?"
Hu Lue was enraged. If Wang Tiankuang had countered him, he might have calmed down a bit. However, since it was Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti speaking, he felt that if this person hadn’t been meddling, perhaps Black Wind Stronghold would not have fallen to such a state. This wasn’t the only incident; many small matters came to mind at this moment that suggested Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti had deliberately plotted against Black Wind Stronghold’s downfall.
"Nonsense! Should I be grateful for you slaughtering my entire family?!" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was also furious; he had endured for so many years just for this moment.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We all know each other; if we don’t help one another, that’s fine." Ye Tian had no interest in their past grievances and stretched lazily while speaking in a relaxed tone.
The others were taken aback by his words and soon displayed various expressions.
Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti looked pleased because for him, as long as Ye Tian did not assist Hu Lue, they would at least not be at a disadvantage.
In contrast, Hu Lue's expression was far from pleasant; his face turned ashen as he shot a resentful glance at Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti before turning to Ye Tian with an expression that seemed to plead for careful consideration.
"Brother Xu, if we kill Hu Lue, wouldn’t the method for refining Dragon Scales become impossible to find?" Wang Tiankuang’s mood differed from theirs; he looked somewhat worried and quickly walked over to whisper in Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's ear. What he said was known only to the two of them.
Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti listened quietly with a natural expression that revealed no emotional fluctuations. This indicated that regarding Wang Tiankuang's concerns, he either had everything under control or was deliberately hiding his feelings due to the importance of the matter.
After a moment, Wang Tiankuang finally finished speaking and looked at Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti with a pleading expression.
"Sky Mad Second Master, don't worry at all about this matter," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti replied confidently to Wang Tiankuang's earlier question.
Ye Tian pondered for a moment and realized what was troubling Wang Tiankuang; it was likely the method of refining Dragon Scales that caused his concern.
"Cough, cough, it's getting late. If anyone has something to do, it's best to get busy," Ye Tian said, feigning to look at the sky, but his true intention was to urge Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti and the others to take action quickly.
"Brother Ye!" Hu Lue naturally understood Ye Tian's implication and called out loudly, clearly seeking help.
Ye Tian ignored him, casually waving his hand before walking towards the crowd behind him.
As Ye Tian left, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti and a few others surrounded Hu Lue, blocking all his escape routes.
"Hu Lue, the souls of the one hundred thirty-seven people from Xu Family Village are waiting for you below," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti said with a fierce expression, a killing intent spreading around him.
Although they were at a distance, everyone from the Cold Family shivered and looked at Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti with newfound seriousness.
"What a strong killing intent." Even Ye Tian frowned slightly; it was the first time he had felt such intense killing intent.
In contrast, even Wang Tiankuang was taken aback. Although he knew that Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was deep-minded, he never expected that when the latter harbored thoughts of killing, the intent would be so heavy. Moreover, although Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti had previously promised that there was no need to worry about the method of refining Dragon Scales, Wang Tiankuang did not fully believe it. Now, after witnessing this incident, his doubts intensified.
"Is that bastard Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti using me for revenge?" Wang Tiankuang cursed inwardly, feeling that Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti had just been brushing him off and intended to use him to take revenge.
"Sky Mad Second Master, if you doubt your own people before facing the enemy, then there's no need to fight this battle," Ye Tian said with a faint smile. At this moment, anyone could see Wang Tiankuang's suspicion towards Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti. However, Ye Tian pointed it out not to encourage them to unite against the enemy; rather, he was trying to sow discord between Wang Tiankuang and Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti.
Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was not an ordinary person; he could naturally see through Wang Tiankuang's thoughts. The reason he remained silent was simply that he did not want internal strife in front of a formidable enemy.
However, after Ye Tian's "reminder," a hint of coldness suddenly flashed in Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's eyes before it quickly disappeared.
“Second Uncle, this is just Ye Tian's trick. I know you would never doubt me,” Xu Anti said slowly after a moment of contemplation, though his tone was somewhat cold.
“Of course, of course,” Wang Tiankuang replied, feeling embarrassed for being seen through.
“Go die, you bastard!”
At that moment, while everyone was slightly distracted, Hu Lue seized the opportunity and shouted loudly, then nine figures from Transformation charged straight at Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti.
Seeing this, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti remained calm and decisive, pointing forward as a Thunder Light shot out.
Boom!
The sound of thunder echoed in the air, followed by Whispers howling. The Thunder Light was as thick as an arm and carried an impressive momentum.
The Thunder Light aimed directly at the center of the nine phantoms, while Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti coldly shouted, “Show yourself!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Lue dodged to the side, and the phantom flickered, clearly having moved to another phantom.
Boom!
The Thunder Light struck the illusion, and with a muffled sound, the phantom dissipated into a cloud of smoke.
After missing his first strike, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti quickly made another decisive gesture, sending several Thunder Lights shooting out again towards the numerous phantoms.
“Good technique; it's even more applicable than Thunder Palm,” Ye Tian nodded slightly in approval. Although this move's power was clearly insufficient to compete with Thunder Palm, it was more stable and agile compared to Thunder Palm since it relied on close combat and direct confrontation. However, if the opponent's palm strength was stronger, a single clash could result in severe injury.
“Brother Two! I’m coming to help you!”
At that moment, Windwalker Young Master also moved. With a light tap of his toes, his body floated out like a dry leaf in the wind, swirling like mist and turning lightly like clouds.
"Such a Point Water Without Trace!" Ye Tian couldn't help but exclaim. After the Point Water Without Trace was unleashed, the body of the Windwalker Young Master seemed as light as a feather, as if even a gentle breeze could sway him, truly remarkably agile.
"You'll die too!" Hu Lue roared, abandoning Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti and turning to attack the Windwalker Young Master. He was not angered by the Windwalker Young Master's interference; what truly infuriated him were the words "Brother Two."
The Windwalker Young Master still referred to Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti by the name used during their time at Black Wind Stronghold, indicating that their relationship had been established back then, and was not a temporary alliance formed due to Ye Tian's attack.
"In gratitude for saving my life, I will allow you three moves," the Windwalker Young Master said coldly while dodging Hu Lue's attack. The debt of gratitude that Hu Lue had saved him from danger remained a knot in his heart; otherwise, he would not have endured such humiliation. Allowing three moves in this life-and-death duel would be a way to repay him.
"Fourth Brother must be careful; this old man is not to be underestimated!" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti warned. He had been by Hu Lue's side for the longest time and naturally understood Hu Lue's capabilities well.
"Brother Two, don't worry," the Windwalker Young Master replied calmly, seemingly confident.
Upon hearing this, Hu Lue intensified his assault, feeling that the Windwalker Young Master's words were an insult to him.
Whoosh!
Hu Lue's arm shook violently, causing his clothes to billow without wind. Then, dark shadows surged from his body, resembling vengeful spirits, all rushing towards the Windwalker Young Master.
All actions in the world carry force; with force comes momentum, and these ghostly figures were no exception. The martial art Point Water Without Trace precisely utilized this momentum; with even a slight breeze, his movements became even more elusive.
The Windwalker Young Master weaved effortlessly among the several ghostly figures, moving as freely as the wind.
In the distance, among the trees, members of the Cold Family stood watching, excited by such a battle and began placing bets.
"I bet ten coins that the Windwalker Young Master can dodge Hu Lue's three moves."
"I bet twenty coins that within three moves Hu Lue will definitely defeat the Windwalker Young Master!"
"I bet fifty coins on Hu Lue!"
"I bet one hundred on Windwalker Young Master!"
"You gamblers really have no taste!" Fifth Brother turned back to scold the crowd with a smile, then turned to Ye Tian and asked, "Who are you betting on?"
Ye Tian shook his head helplessly. He was already puzzled as to why the most gambling-prone Fifth Brother would say such a thing, but before he could finish his thoughts, Fifth Brother had already revealed his true nature.
"I think Windwalker Young Master should be able to dodge three moves from Hu Lue." After a moment of consideration, Ye Tian replied.
"I think so too. However, to avoid any suspicion of collusion with the dealer, I've decided to bet that Hu Lue will win. I'm putting down two hundred copper coins; what about you?" Fifth Brother said seriously, as if he were taking the gambling matter very seriously.
"I have no money," Ye Tian said with a smile and shook his head.
"Nonsense!" Fifth Brother rolled his eyes in response.
"Alright, I'll match your bet. But I must say upfront that I really have no money right now. If I lose, I'll have to make it up later," Ye Tian could only agree reluctantly.
Seeing this, Fifth Brother laughed heartily, looked Ye Tian up and down, and then asked mischievously, "Is it because Miss Frost is too strict with you, not giving you a single coin? Afraid you'll go mess around in those places?"
"Come on, Elder Brother Five, stop joking. What are you talking about?" Ye Tian waved his hands repeatedly and then continued to look at the scene.
