A dagger emitted a red glow, and the sharp Qi Blade almost grazed Ye Tian's neck. Ye Tian sidestepped to evade while simultaneously launching the Bagua Thunder Palm.
The waiter’s expression tightened as he quickly retreated two steps. Despite the earlier example of Chen Jiu, he still underestimated Ye Tian.
Brilliant golden light gathered before him, accompanied by the crackling sound of Thunderstorm. The explosive Shockwave rushed toward him, and within a three-foot radius, the pressure suddenly surged to its peak.
"Everyone, attack together!" The Innkeeper had keen eyesight and immediately recognized that the waiter would be at a disadvantage with just this one move. He waved his hand, signaling everyone to surround and attack.
Ye Tiantong's pupils constricted, surprise flickering in his eyes. However, this surprise did not stem from the group of Huanggang Ridge villains but rather from the earlier Thunder Palm.
"The power is actually..."
Before he could finish his exclamation, a Steel Blade slashed horizontally toward him, its edge tearing through the agitated air with a sharp sound.
This person's strength was at the late stage of a First-Stage Martial Artist. The Martial Origin Power wrapped around the Steel Blade surged forth with a hint of Blade Qi. Ye Tian adjusted his Footsteps slightly; estimating that he could avoid the Blade Qi at this position, but to be safe, he still conjured the Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield to protect himself.
The Blade Qi howled as it approached Ye Tian, suddenly splitting into two right before him, attacking from above and below, aimed at his waist and neck.
Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Ye Tian's eyes. He lightly tapped his toes and leaped into the air, spinning like a top as he passed through the gap between the Blade Qi. At the same time, he struck out with one palm at the ambusher who was preparing to launch another attack.
Bang!
A spray of Blood Mist erupted as the Thunder Palm's immense power reduced the ambusher from neck to waist into mincemeat.
"Hiss..."
Everyone present gasped in shock. Regardless of this kid's strength, just his ruthless methods were enough to instill fear.
It seems that today, if they cannot take down this guy, then they will all inevitably meet their end here, and no one will survive.
The waiter had the best eyesight; he knew that the more frightened they were at such a moment, the more it would lower their strength. So he quickly encouraged everyone, saying, "Brothers, let's kill him with a flurry of blades!"
The crowd was initially terrified, but upon hearing the waiter's words, they regained their focus. Although the waiter's motivational skills were quite lacking, his words had an unexpectedly effective impact on them.
"Kill!"
Several Steel Blades struck simultaneously. The group of villains widened their eyes in anger, their expressions fierce.
"Kill!"
Sounds echoed from inside the building as Duan Liu and Wine Kid suddenly burst out. Wine Kid may not have been strong, but he was clever; he lunged forward and grabbed the legs of the nearest person. Duan Liu seized the opportunity, his hands swirling with energy, and directly flipped that person over.
Clang!
At the same time, a sharp sword sound rang out behind them. Cold Moon, dressed in white, looked like a celestial being descending from the heavens. Surrounded by swirling sword energy, she broke through several attackers and headed towards Ye Tian's location.
Yun'er followed closely behind, wielding a small dagger that glinted coldly. She unleashed several invisible Qi Blades that instantly severed the throats of two people.
The Innkeeper was taken aback and his eyes twitched violently. Hadn't the waiter said they were poisoned and unconscious? How could they now appear lively and full of energy?
"Damn it! Get the messenger down here!"
The Innkeeper roared, his energy swirling around him. In an instant, he transformed into a completely different figure; gone was the image of a gluttonous fool, replaced by that of a ruthless villain.
After his shout, footsteps echoed from upstairs. By the sound of it, there were quite a few people—at least a dozen or so.
“Yun'er, guard the stairs and prevent them from regrouping!” Cold Moon instructed Yun'er before moving closer to Ye Tian, preparing to join forces against the Innkeeper.
“No need, you take care of Wine Kid and the others.” Ye Tian's fingers glimmered with golden light as he forcefully snapped Steel Blade in half.
Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, Cold Moon glanced at the two. Although Duan Liu and Wine Kid were not very strong, they worked well together and posed no immediate threat. Ignoring Ye Tian's advice, she charged forward with her sword towards the Innkeeper.
“Second Son, hold them back!” A glint of determination flashed in the Innkeeper's eyes before he quickly retreated.
Following the Innkeeper's command, the assistant shot out like an arrow, rushing towards Cold Moon without hesitation.
“Don't let him escape!” Cold Moon thrust her sword forward, a sharp beam of light erupting like stars in a cold night sky.
The sword light rippled and instantly filled the passageway. The group of villains swung their blades to block it, producing a clashing sound of metal.
At that moment, Ye Tian also made his move. As he recited his incantation, ethereal clouds suddenly gathered around him, spreading rapidly and enveloping an area of about ten feet in an instant.
Having gained an advantage in the cave earlier, Ye Tian knew that using Phantom Cloud in a confined space against multiple opponents was highly effective.
Sure enough, as Phantom Cloud emerged, the enemies immediately cried out in alarm. They could not discern each other's figures within the mist and had to call out to confirm their positions to avoid friendly fire.
Taking advantage of this confusion, Ye Tian continuously changed his position. Wherever he went, Thunder Palm flashed with golden light, followed by a wail as someone lost their life.
The assistant was also shrouded by Phantom Cloud. However, being the Innkeeper's trusted aide, he remained calm despite the dire situation. Since he couldn't see anything, he simply closed his eyes tightly and relied on his hearing to discern Ye Tian's location.
Seeing this, Ye Tian sneered disdainfully. He used Phantom Cloud not to conceal himself for a sneak attack but to swiftly eliminate them; the assistant's actions were unnecessary.
“I’m right here.” Ye Tian killed the last Loyal Minion with a swift motion and then stood three feet in front of the assistant, smirking as he spoke.
The waiter was startled; a distance of three feet was practically nothing for them, who possessed Martial Origin Power as Martial Practitioners. If they wanted to attack, they could easily do so by summoning Martial Origin Power out of thin air.
Before him lay a misty expanse, within the Phantom Cloud, Ye Tian's figure remained shrouded in the fog. The waiter frowned and strained his eyes but could see no trace of him whatsoever.
"Why can't I hear your voice?" The waiter looked toward the rain and mist, his dagger slightly extended, ready to strike at any moment.
Ye Tian knew the waiter was asking why he couldn't discern his location through sound, but he didn't deem it necessary to answer. The Phantom Cloud was Xuanyuan Changfeng's personal martial art; if there were such an obvious flaw that could be easily heard, then it would hardly qualify as a personal martial art.
"Could it be that within this fog, not only your figure but even your voice can be concealed?!" The waiter was perceptive and quickly grasped the reason.
Realizing this, cold sweat broke out on the waiter's forehead; his earlier attempt to close his eyes and listen had been tantamount to offering himself up for slaughter.
"Ye Tian, this is up to you!" A voice from downstairs called out, gradually fading away—clearly heading off to pursue the Innkeeper.
Upon hearing this, the waiter's pupils constricted. The Innkeeper's retreat was not due to cowardice but rather to find a safe place to release a Message Bug for communication. If he released the Message Bug on the spot, it would definitely be within Ye Tian and the others' line of sight.
"Where do you think you're going!" Ye Tian saw the waiter attempting to turn and flee downstairs. He activated Yuqi Tayan Jue, using his left hand for Vortex Profound Skill and his right hand for Bagua Thunder Palm, intending to take him down in one blow.
Whoosh!
Without looking back, the waiter threw his dagger backward. The dark dagger seemed to spark in mid-air as it shot toward Ye Tian's forehead.
The dagger grew larger in Ye Tian's vision; he could even clearly see the swirling airflow at its tip.
"Hah!" Ye Tian sneered; while the waiter's move appeared ordinary, its intent was malicious. If Ye Tian's analysis was correct, the vortex at the dagger's tip could easily break through martial defenses. It was a cunning ploy aimed at taking his life while he was off guard. Moreover, even if Ye Tian saw through the trick, their distance would still increase as he dodged.
However, he once again underestimated Ye Tian's strength.
Ye Tian's cold gaze suddenly erupted with a glimmer of Kanazawa. Following his thoughts, the Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield condensed at his forehead. Although it was only the size of a palm, the brilliant Crimson Gold Bagua Pattern was extraordinarily mystical.
Clang!
The dagger struck the Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield, producing a sound of metal clashing. The Bagua Pattern trembled slightly, but the airflow at the tip of the dagger instantly lost its power and fell in response.
"Come back to me!"
Ye Tian shouted fiercely, and the Martial Origin Power vortex suddenly expanded several times, with a fierce suction force resembling a massive wind tunnel that directly pulled the waiter back.
The waiter was horrified and instinctively tightened his body, unleashing Martial Origin Power from within to form an invisible barrier in front of him.
Ye Tian stopped speaking, and the Thunder Palm slammed out. The Vortex Profound Skill was merely to pull him back; the real killing move was yet to come.
Bang!
The air rippled violently; that invisible barrier indeed had some defensive capability. After taking a hit from the Thunder Palm, it surprisingly did not shatter, but it clearly vibrated from the impact. The waiter’s body was propelled backward like a ragdoll toward the window.
The waiter spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. Although he looked extremely pained and not feigning it, Ye Tian, for safety's sake, quickly followed up with another palm strike.
At this moment, as the waiter flew backward through the air, this palm strike was absolutely unavoidable. However, a strange fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Not good!"
Ye Tian's heart jolted; he hurriedly summoned the Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield to protect his vital points and then performed Jujutsu to forcibly flip his body in mid-air.
Immediately afterward, the waiter's body exploded, and a powerful shockwave surged outward like an invisible blade, slicing all obstacles within ten zhang of the Square Area in half.
Ding ding ding!
The invisible Shockwave struck the Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield, producing a sound different from before. The Bagua Pattern trembled violently, showing signs of cracking.
Ding!
Finally, after the last impact of the Shockwave, the Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield returned to calm. Ye Tian was not injured but was pushed back several feet by the immense force, crashing into a wooden door.
Ye Tian steadied himself and let out a long breath. Judging from the explosive power of the bartender's technique, if it weren't for the unusual enhancement of the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood that strengthened the defense of the Bagua Xuan Yuan Shield tonight, he would likely have been injured.
His eyes shone with golden light, and a serious expression was evident on his face. At this moment, Ye Tian realized that the strength of Huanggang Ridge was far more formidable than he had imagined.
Just as Ye Tian was contemplating, a sudden explosion came from across the street at about Hundred Zhang, followed by a Brilliant Light rising up as Cold Moon's figure was sent flying.
"Not good! Sister Ningyue is in trouble!" Ye Tianjing shouted and rushed toward the scene with all his might.
