"Ha ha, really nothing at all?" Accompanied by the sinister smile of Left Sword Star, the atmosphere around them suddenly turned eerie.
"Uh..." Yue Lingwei let out a low groan, feeling something unusual happening within his body. It seemed as if his vital essence was being drawn out by some force, slowly siphoning it away.
"Senior Brother Yue!" Ye Tian also noticed this anomaly, as blood from Yue Lingwei's wound began to float into the air, tendrils of it reaching towards Left Sword Star.
"Ugh!" Yue Lingwei's groan turned into a low roar. At this moment, not only was blood flowing from his wound, but even his skin began to ooze crimson droplets. The droplets gathered together and were once again absorbed by Left Sword Star.
All the blood surged towards the center of Left Sword Star's forehead, where the drops continuously injected into it and then vanished. As the fresh blood nourished him, Left Sword Star's pale complexion gradually became more vibrant.
Ye Tian frowned deeply; this technique was definitely not the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique. Moreover, compared to that technique, this method of absorbing another's blood to nourish oneself should truly be called Evil Scriptures!
"Yue Lingwei, did you never expect that I have finally mastered the Blood Sea Divine Canon? Ha ha!" Left Sword Star laughed maniacally, and at the same time, his body emitted cracking sounds as the bones that had been crushed by Rising Winds and Gathering Clouds slowly began to mend.
"You..." As blood continued to drain from him, Yue Lingwei's face turned deathly pale, and even his voice began to weaken.
"Monster, if you stop now, I will spare your life!" The situation was dire; Ye Tian could no longer hold back. Although he had not found an appropriate opportunity to intervene earlier, if he had prepared from the start, now that Bagua Thunder Seal had reached its peak power, killing an injured Left Sword Star would not be difficult. The main reason he had refrained from doing so was that he knew Yue Lingwei did not want anyone else to interfere. If he rashly intervened in a two-on-one situation, it would likely be seen as an insult to Yue Lingwei.
"Ha ha, little brother, what gives you the confidence to boast?" Left Sword Star scoffed. To him, a mere Three-Stage Martial Artist posed no threat at all. This was evident from his reckless use of the Blood Sea Divine Canon.
"I do not wish to take advantage of your misfortune, but if you insist on pushing me, then I cannot be blamed!" Ye Tian's tone turned stern. He was not a naive person; under normal circumstances, he might have waited until Left Sword Star had fully gathered strength before confronting him directly. However, with Yue Lingwei's life hanging in the balance, clinging to so-called morals would be nothing short of foolishness.
Ye Tian's final warning did not bring about any change in Left Sword Star; instead, he merely sneered contemptuously before suddenly speaking with a fierce tone: "If you are not afraid of death, feel free to give it a try!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian's pupils constricted slightly. Left Sword Star was being overly arrogant. Although his so-called Blood Sea Divine Canon was strange, it was clearly just a low-level Evil Scripture. This could be seen from how it operated; first, it required injuring an enemy before one could absorb their blood. If faced with someone far stronger than himself, there would be no chance for him to absorb blood and condense energy. Furthermore, the process was too slow and its effects could not compare with the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique. Just think of Xuanyuan Feicheng or Wang Weiyang; even recall that black-clad figure who harmed Leng Ping back in the day—this Blood Sea Divine Canon was truly no better than a useless trinket.
Ye Tian glanced back at Yue Lingwei; at this moment, the latter's face had lost all color and his lips were beginning to crack dryly. It wouldn't be long before he would die from excessive loss of vital essence.
Seeing this scene unfold, Ye Tian dared not hesitate any longer. Gathering his energy, he leaped forward; using Yuqi Tayan Jue allowed him to cover ten or more zhang in a single step.
Left Sword Star raised an eyebrow, seemingly not expecting Ye Tian to possess such speed. However, he soon sneered, recognizing that while speed could enhance the variability of attacks, there was a saying in battle: respond to the myriad changes with steadfastness!
Swish!
Left Sword Star flicked his wrist, and the long sword that was plunged into the ground suddenly slashed out a beam of light. The light shimmered with a blood-red hue, leaving a long crimson streak in the air.
This was an attack from a Martial Unity Expert. Although Left Sword Star was severely injured, Ye Tian did not dare to recklessly use the Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield to block it; he could only dodge to the side and look for another opportunity to advance.
With his strike missing, Left Sword Star was not surprised. His Blood Sea Divine Canon had yet to reach full mastery, and although his injuries had improved, they were not fully healed. The Martial Sovereign's Martial Origin Power could only vibrate at about one-third of its usual strength, and he had to forcefully activate it. Thus, that previous strike was merely a tactic to hinder the enemy; he did not expect it to achieve any significant results.
The blood-red sword energy missed Ye Tian, shooting far away before finally striking the ground over ten feet away, kicking up countless dust and leaving a shallow mark on the surface.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ye Tian caught sight of this and quickly discerned its significance. He turned his gaze back to Left Sword Star, noticing a hint of excitement in his expression, indicating that the so-called Blood Sea Divine Canon was nearing completion.
"Die!"
Seeing this, Ye Tian shouted fiercely and moved again, golden light shimmering in his palm as he aimed directly for Left Sword Star's head.
"Indeed somewhat extraordinary." Facing Ye Tian's fierce assault, Left Sword Star showed no signs of panic; instead, he watched with interest as the figure charged like lightning, recalling his employer's words.
His employer was a handsome young man whose exact identity was unknown. However, from his demeanor and speech, it was clear that he held a highly esteemed position within the Cloud Sea Sect. Otherwise, Left Sword Star would not have taken on tasks for him.
This "Mountain" figure had given such an evaluation of his assassination target: "This person is extraordinary; slay him for a heavy reward!"
Left Sword Star had taken on many assassination missions for this individual before, but each time the rewards were merely gold and silver. He had long lost interest in such trivialities. However, this time, the compensation offered truly warranted the term "heavy reward."
If he could kill Ye Tian, he would be able to choose any book from the Cloud Sea Sect's Earth-Level Martial Arts! Moreover, it would be one above grade five!
Exchanging a life for an Earth Level Five Martial Art was simply too profitable. For someone like Left Sword Star, who killed without hesitation, whether it was one person or even a hundred or a thousand, he would never furrow his brow.
At this moment, the figure of the young man in his pupils grew larger and larger, and as the distance closed, all that remained before him was a sea of golden light.
"Hmph..." Left Sword Star finally moved. He turned the hilt of his hooked sword and swept it horizontally with Ling Kong. As the Sword Body moved, a layer of blood-red ripples spread out from thin air.
In the blink of an eye, a blood-red barrier coalesced in front of Left Sword Star. Protected by the barrier, Left Sword Star's lips curled into a disdainful arc once again.
Seeing this, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly burst with a hint of Kanazawa. Underestimating one's opponent was always a path to death; today, Ye Tian would make Left Sword Star understand this principle.
His left palm glimmered with the light of Thunder Palm. In a swift motion, Ye Tian struck again with his right palm, fingers weaving through Ling Kong's numerous changes, and calmly activated the Bagua Seal.
The combination of Thunder Palm and Palm Seal had once been one of Ye Tian's major killing moves, specifically used to break through enemy defenses. However, since he learned the Bagua Thunder Seal, he had not used it for a long time. With an opportunity at hand, he might as well test whether its power still remained.
Boom...
Thunder Palm first struck against the Blood Barrier, producing not a thunderous sound but rather a sound akin to slapping water. Although the sound lacked grandeur, it did not imply insufficient power. At the moment of impact, an extremely fierce Shockwave erupted from the center of both fighters, causing all the wild grass within six or seven zhang to be uprooted entirely!
The violent recoil made both individuals tremble. For Ye Tian, this was expected; however, for Left Sword Star, it was indeed somewhat shocking.
"A mere Three-Stage Martial Artist possesses such strength? Could it be..." Left Sword Star recalled his employer's evaluation and how Ye Tian saw through his martial arts techniques, and a sense of astonishment suddenly rose in his heart.
"Could he also possess the Blood Sect Evil Canon?!"
Left Sword Star's astonished expression was noted by Ye Tian, but he had no time to analyze the other's thoughts. It was expected that Bagua Thunder Palm could not break through his defenses; thus, Ye Tian did not hesitate to rapidly tap with his right hand, filling the area above and below the Blood Barrier with Nine Seals in an instant.
"You are from the Blood Sect?!" Left Sword Star did not notice Ye Tian's sealing process because he had been momentarily distracted by his own surprise.
With all seals placed, Ye Tian withdrew five zhang away and steadied himself while coldly gazing at Left Sword Star. "Has your Blood Sea Divine Canon reached completion?"
"You truly are from the Blood Sect." Although he did not receive an answer from Ye Tian, Left Sword Star became even more certain of his thoughts because just at that moment, his Blood Sea Divine Canon had indeed reached perfection.
Splash...
The traces of blood in the air had already dissipated, and Yue Lingwei finally collapsed to the ground after a struggle.
Ye Tian turned his head at the sound. Although Yue Lingwei's arms were tightly closed and his face looked pale, his breathing was relatively steady. He should only be fainted from exhaustion and was not in any danger.
"You are one of Qiu Zixuan's people, right?" Ye Tian stepped forward slowly, once again channeling golden light in his palm.
"Qiu Zixuan?" Left Sword Star thought of the Blood Sea Divine Canon and resumed an air of indifference. Hearing Ye Tian's words, he surprisingly responded with interest.
"The son of Cloud Pavilion Master Qiu Tiande." Ye Tian explained, as he did not know that the employer hiring the assassin would not reveal their name beforehand.
Left Sword Star's pupils constricted at these words, and a trace of barely noticeable shock flashed across his face. He had not heard of Qiu Zixuan, but Qiu Tiande's name was well-known. If he was actually involved with such a figure...
"How do you know?" Left Sword Star's demeanor seemed calm, but in reality, turbulent waves surged within him. Associating with Qiu Tiande might be a dream come true for many, but for Left Sword Star, it was a double-edged sword.
If done well, you would get everything you desire. If done poorly... well, then you would only accompany the failed mission to disappear forever from this world.
Thinking of this, Left Sword Star's expression grew serious again, and a chilling killing intent suddenly spread out.
