Ye Tian appeared to be quite dejected on the surface, but in reality, he had already formulated a rough plan. If the black-clad figure who could rival Cold Boyuan was indeed Wang Weiyang, then his strength must have reached at least the level of a Sixth-Stage Martial Artist.
However, the likelihood of this was not very high, as it is well-known that for martial artists, Martial Mastery represents a bottleneck. Many people struggle for ten years or even their entire lives without making any progress, which is precisely why Martial Mastery is regarded as a mark of strength among the hundreds of thousands in Spirit Martial Town.
If the possibility of being a Sixth-Stage Martial Artist is low, then only the other possibility that Wang Tiankuang hesitated to mention remains: that Wang Weiyang has learned the Blood Sect Secret Technique.
Ye Tian had personally experienced the ferocity of the Blood Sect's techniques several times. The unpredictable and formidable power they possessed was truly remarkable, especially after activating the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Classic. At that point, the individual could no longer be considered human, as their bodily functions would enhance several times over within a fixed period.
"If Wang Weiyang really possesses the Blood Sect techniques..." Ye Tian frowned inwardly. He understood well the advantages of mastering techniques from two different schools, as he himself was a prime example.
To elaborate, mastering techniques from two different schools would inevitably lead to some form of integration. For instance, the combination of spiritual energy and elemental energy results in a power greater than either one alone. Moreover, since this area is under the jurisdiction of a Martial Sovereign, using Blood Sect techniques against an opponent would make it difficult for them to detect and counter its characteristics. This aspect is extremely important in life-and-death battles.
In summary, simply put—there would be no rivals among those of the same rank, and even more so, one could kill opponents across ranks.
"Wang Weiyang, Wang Tianba, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, Windwalker Young Master, Wang Tiankuang..." Ye Tian silently recited these names in his mind before shifting his thoughts back to the Cold Family, adding another name to his list of enemies: "Cold Wu..."
These individuals ranked by strength are as follows: Wang Weiyang is at least a Four-Stage Martial Artist, and he likely possesses the Blood Sect Secret Technique. Wang Tianba is a Three-Stage Martial Artist, while Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti is at the early stage of a Second-Stage Martial Artist. The Windwalker Young Master is a First-Stage Martial Artist, but he wields the technique known as Point Water Without Trace. Although Wang Tiankuang is also a Second-Stage Martial Artist, due to his severe eye condition, Ye Tian placed him last on his list.
Of course, there is also the threat posed by Cold Wu, who has also reached the third stage of Martial Mastery. As long as this person remains alive, they will pose a significant threat to the Cold Family.
"Given this situation, it seems that this operation against bandits ultimately benefits the Wang family..." Ye Tian calculated. The Wang family aimed to collaborate with Black Wind Stronghold to eliminate the remnants of the Cold Family. However, in the end, only Black Wind Stronghold faced misfortune. Although the Wang family lost three hundred men and part of Wang Tiankuang's strength during this operation, they gained two powerful Martial Masters. When carefully considered, they still came out ahead.
Naturally, the Cold Family did not come away empty-handed either. They gained three hundred men for free and allowed Ye Tian to break through to Martial Mastery. Furthermore, due to Wang Tiankuang's eye injury and after this battle, neither Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti nor Windwalker Fan Fenglin would gain any advantages. The final counterattack from Hu Lue was no trivial matter; thus, after returning to Spirit Martial Town, it would be difficult for the Wang family to take action in the short term.
With these thoughts in mind, Ye Tian continued to observe the scene. Although their assistance in this operation was not comparable to that of the Wang family, it was still far better than his previous expectation of mutual destruction.
"Young Master Ye, could you possibly..." Wang Tiankuang had been patiently waiting nearby. Not daring to interrupt due to his request for help, he finally spoke up when he saw that Ye Tian had emerged from his contemplation.
"Sky Mad Second Master, there’s no need for hesitation; feel free to ask whatever you wish." At this point, Ye Tian had completely forgotten about what he had previously said regarding treating eye ailments.
"Alright, alright, Young Master Ye is indeed straightforward." Wang Tiankuang flattered again, then with a sheepish smile said, "I wonder if Young Master Ye could share the method for treating eye ailments?"
Ye Tian looked at Wang Tiankuang's submissive demeanor and wanted to laugh. He didn't even consider that the enmity between their families had reached an almost irreconcilable point, and with the Wang family gaining strong support this time, how could Ye Tian possibly help him treat his eye condition?
"That's not possible; my conditions haven't been approved by Second Uncle yet," Ye Tian said with a smile and shook his head.
"What?!" Wang Tiankuang was instantly furious upon hearing this, but he quickly suppressed his anger and forced a smile, saying, "Hehe, Leaf Young Master, don't joke around. Didn't we just discuss this? I also answered you."
The change from Young Master Ye to Leaf Young Master made Ye Tian want to laugh again. Wang Tiankuang's actions clearly aimed to bridge the gap between them, but he was truly desperate; he wasn't afraid that Ye Tian might give him random advice that would completely blind him.
"Second Uncle, don't speak nonsense. Think carefully; did I ever say that my question was a condition for treating your eye ailment?" Ye Tian teased.
Wang Tiankuang frowned in deep thought. After a moment, he realized that Ye Tian had indeed just asked casually and had never stated that his inquiry was a condition for treatment.
"This..." Wang Tiankuang was at a loss for words. He felt very angry about Ye Tian's mockery of him, but he couldn't show it on his face. He knew well that this poison was difficult to resolve because he had repeatedly failed to force out the poison using Martial Origin Power, not to mention ordinary doctors.
Seeing Wang Tiankuang's frustrated expression, Ye Tian secretly laughed and then waved his hand, saying, "If I were to state my conditions, Second Uncle probably wouldn't accept them. I think it's better to forget it."
"Wait, how would you know I wouldn't accept if you don't say anything? As long as it's not harmful to our Wang family, I'll agree to any conditions," Wang Tiankuang hurriedly promised, fearing that Ye Tian would refuse to discuss it further.
"Is that true?"
"Absolutely true!"
"I want the secret of the Divine Dragon Treasure!" Ye Tian's tone was decisive, indicating there was no room for negotiation.
"..." Wang Tiankuang fell silent instantly. After a moment, he forced a laugh and said, "Leaf Young Master is joking; I don’t even know what secrets the Divine Dragon Treasure holds..."
"Heh heh, do you think I'm foolish? Why are you so insistent on obtaining Hu Lue? Is it really for the sake of justice?" Ye Tian scoffed disdainfully.
Wang Tiankuang's eyelids twitched at the words, clearly pondering how to argue his way out.
"Sky Mad Second Master, there's no need to play tricks with me; that will only wear down my patience," Ye Tian urged.
"This..." Wang Tiankuang hesitated. In his heart, the Divine Dragon Treasure was extraordinary; perhaps possessing it would elevate his strength enough to become the head of the Wang family.
"Heh, since Sky Mad Second Master is making it difficult, let's forget it. I have no desire to take advantage of others' misfortunes," Ye Tian said, preparing to step away. At this moment, the situation in the arena had nearly settled. Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti and Windwalker Young Master were both heavily injured and would likely be unable to act for a while after returning to Spirit Martial Town. Hu Lue was also at his limit and would probably be captured soon. By then, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti would surely find a way to force him to reveal clues about the Divine Dragon Treasure.
"Since you don't want to share the clues about the Divine Dragon Treasure, I can only eliminate future troubles. I cannot allow the clues to fall into your hands," Ye Tian declared as he quickly moved forward. If he were to strike and kill Hu Lue now, no one present could stop him. Moreover, killing Hu Lue would avenge his fallen brother and prevent the secret treasure from falling into the Wang family's hands.
"Young Master Ye, wait!"
As Ye Tian approached the battlefield, Wang Tiankuang finally understood the stakes. If Ye Tian killed Hu Lue, any chance of obtaining information about the Divine Dragon Treasure would be lost. It was better to use it as a bargaining chip to heal his eyes. After all, even if he obtained clues, he couldn't immediately set off to find the treasure; he would need to return to Spirit Martial Town first to recuperate. Such a significant matter required careful consideration; if he went directly with Xu Fan and the others, there was a high chance he could end up losing his life even if they found the treasure.
Ye Tian did not pause at Wang Tiankuang's words; what he wanted was not a mere delay.
"I agree!" Seeing Ye Tian's determination, Wang Tiankuang hurriedly responded.
"It's too late!" Ye Tian did not look back as he leaped into the fray.
In fact, during his approach to the battlefield, Ye Tian had already assessed the situation. Compared to the elusive Divine Dragon Treasure, it was more advantageous for the Wang family to lose an immediate combatant. Even if they learned of clues, there would be various conflicts with the Wang family along the way to seize the treasure. It would be better for everyone not to know any clues; in that case, whoever was fated would obtain the secret treasure.
Wang Tiankuang was stunned for a moment before his expression turned dark. Ye Tian's killing of Hu Lue meant cutting off their lead on the treasure, and his chances of restoring his eyesight were almost zero.
"Stop Ye Tian!" Wang Tiankuang shouted at Xu Fan and his companion.
At this moment, Ye Tian had already entered the arena, lightning crackling in his hand as he aimed directly at Hu Lue.
Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti immediately made a decisive move to stop Ye Tian; Hu Lue must not die before revealing any clues.
Compared to Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's decisiveness, Windwalker Young Master hesitated for a moment, but ultimately made his move, gliding towards Ye Tian.
"Overestimating yourself!" Ye Tian snorted coldly and immediately struck out with one palm from each side.
Bang! Bang!
With two loud crashes, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti and Windwalker Fan Fenglin were sent flying. They had already sustained numerous injuries and were exhausted, barely having any strength left to channel their energy. Therefore, this attack posed no threat or obstruction to Ye Tian.
On the other side, Hu Lue thought Ye Tian was coming to save him and was about to express his gratitude with a smile. However, the rapidly widening pupils of Thunder Light caused his mouth, which had just begun to open, to freeze in place.
Bang!
With the sound of Thunder Burst, Hu Lue's body shot out like a sharp arrow, eventually crashing into a large tree with a muffled thud.
Fearing that he might be playing tricks again, Ye Tian activated Yuqi Tayan Jue and crossed fifteen zhang in an instant, reappearing near Hu Lue in just two movements.
"Cough cough..." Hu Lue's gaze had begun to blur, and blood continuously spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Ye Tian catch up, a flicker of pleading flashed in Hu Lue's eyes as he weakly said, "You... spare my life... cough cough... I..."
"Hu Lue, you killed my brother. I told you that you must die." Ye Tian interrupted Hu Lue's words, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent. Everything before had merely been a ploy to distract Xu Fan and the others; now that the goal had been achieved, he had to personally slay Hu Lue to appease the spirit of his fallen brother.
