Cold Yang acted swiftly, causing both Ye Tian and Wang Weiyang to silently groan in despair as the situation spiraled out of control.
"Wait!"
At a critical moment, Wang Weiyang shouted, stepping forward and grabbing the broken iron chain that had snapped.
He understood well the consequences of taking action; facing Cold Yang, a Late Stage Fifth-Stage Martial Artist, along with Ye Tian, whose true strength was still unclear, would certainly not end well for him tonight.
The only option left was to resort to a trump card, though whether it would work was another matter—he could only hope for the best.
Instinctively, Cold Yang halted his attack. Although he felt disheartened, if he could see Sister Frost and clarify things personally, he would at least fulfill his duty as an older brother.
On the other side, Ye Tian also breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his heart began to race. He knew that after two years apart, he was finally going to meet Xiaoshuang again.
Seeing Cold Yang stop, Wang Weiyang finally relaxed a bit, thinking there might still be a chance to turn things around.
With a strong pull, accompanied by the sound of the iron chain scraping against the rock wall, a small square wooden cage was lifted up.
The cage was quite small and perfectly square; even though Cold Frost was petite, the space inside was extremely limited.
At that moment, Cold Frost had her eyes tightly shut, but her breathing seemed steady, indicating she should be fine—just unconscious.
The instant Ye Tian saw Cold Frost, he nearly rushed over, but his extraordinary rationality suppressed the impulse. He understood that if he made any sudden moves now, the astute Wang Weiyang would immediately notice something was off.
In contrast to Ye Tian, Cold Yang was far less composed.
He clenched his fists tightly, making them crackle with tension before dashing forward in a single leap.
Wang Weiyang was taken aback, never expecting the boy to be so different from usual. Normally, Cold Yang was extremely cautious and capable; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to successfully infiltrate the Qin Family to support himself.
What the hell is going on today? Is he out of his mind?
Cursing under his breath, he didn't hesitate in his actions. He suddenly slammed open the wooden cage, and with a hand shrouded in dark energy, he viciously gripped Cold Frost's pale neck.
"If you dare move, I'll kill her immediately!" Wang Weiyang shouted, betting everything on this moment to save his own life.
At the sound of his voice, Cold Yang actually paused. The earlier determination had vanished; when faced with his real sister, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to act ruthlessly.
Ye Tian and Wang Weiyang both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Heh, go ahead and make your move. Didn't you say you would risk your life to repay kindness? Aren't you going to demonstrate what brotherly love means with your lives?" Wang Weiyang was well-versed in psychological tactics. In this situation, the more he taunted Cold Yang, the less likely Cold Yang was to act recklessly.
"There is no brotherly love here. What I do is merely to repay debts for the Cold Family."
Cold Yang's icy tone made Ye Tianxin shudder.
He had indeed fought bravely for the Cold Family several times at the risk of his life, but he had never considered it a kindness given to the Cold Family. In fact, in Ye Tian's heart, those efforts could hardly repay even a fraction of the kindness that the Cold Family owed him.
"Brother Yang, I hope you can understand me," Ye Tian said softly. These insincere words spoken to rescue Xiaoshuang made him feel inexplicably distressed.
"I understand you. You have a bright future ahead; our Cold Family will not hold you back." Cold Yang said without even looking at Ye Tian.
After a moment of silence, Ye Tian slowly spoke, "That's good..."
Saying this felt like a knife twisting in his heart, even though it wasn't his true feelings.
"Ye Tian brother..."
Suddenly, another voice echoed in the arena, filled with pain, sorrow, and despair...
Ye Tian trembled all over, as if struck by a bolt of lightning, nearly losing his balance.
"Xiaoshuang..." Almost instinctively, the name he had repeated countless times in his heart over the past two years slipped from his lips.
"Is everything you said true...?" Cold Frost's long eyelashes fluttered lightly, her tone timid, afraid to hear Ye Tian's affirmative answer.
At this moment, anyone could feel the sadness emanating from Cold Frost, which held only a glimmer of hope. After Ye Tian's response, that meager hope might turn into despair.
Cold Yang cleared his throat and looked at Ye Tian, signaling him to offer some warmth to Cold Frost before she embarked on her final journey.
Ye Tian's heart felt like it was being torn apart. At this moment, he wished he could smash Wang Weiyang with a single blow, and this feeling was undoubtedly stronger than Cold Yang's.
In such a situation, even if Ye Tian remained calm and composed, he could not hide the emotions surging within him. Looking at the shattered cage scattered on the ground, at Cold Frost's pale face, and at Wang Weiyang's iron-like grip, a sense of humiliation and anger surged within him. It erupted uncontrollably!
"Wang Weiyang!!!"
Ye Tian suddenly let out a roar towards the sky. When he lowered his head again, brilliant golden light burst forth from his eyes!
The Dragon's Reverse Scale—touch it and die!
Wang Weiyang's actions had pushed him to the brink of life and death.
At this moment, Wang Weiyang finally realized that Ye Tian would never give up on Cold Frost; everything before had merely been a ploy to manipulate his heart. However, looking at it now, it seemed that the play had become reality...
"Xiaoshuang, are you afraid of dying?"
Ye Tian spoke slowly. Even though golden light shone brightly in his eyes, it could not conceal the deep affection that flowed from him.
The corners of Cold Frost's mouth lifted in a smile as she slowly shook her head, "I'm not afraid!"
Her tone was firm yet filled with happiness.
"I don't have the ability to save you, but don't worry, after I kill him, I will come to accompany you," Ye Tian said again, his fists clenched tightly.
"I don't want you to accompany me, Ye Tian. You need to live well in this world." Cold Frost's eyes were already brimming with tears, but her determination remained unchanged.
After two years of hardship, she finally saw Ye Tian today. He seemed to have become stronger and more mature…
"Brother Ye Tian, during these two years, I have despaired many times. I thought you had abandoned me and forgotten me." Cold Frost said softly, "I considered suicide, but I wanted to see you one last time. Now, my wish has been fulfilled..."
Upon hearing this, Cold Yang and Wang Weiyang were both shaken to their cores, while Ye Tian remained as calm as the sea; he had made up his mind.
He was willing to be a ghost together in death, shedding no tears for the separation of yin and yang!
"Brother Ye Tian, I'm leaving. You must live well..." Cold Frost choked up; the moment of parting between life and death had finally arrived.
"Xiaoshuang, I will come to accompany you." Ye Tian gazed intently into Cold Frost's eyes, wanting to imprint this most heartfelt moment in his heart forever. If they both changed in the underworld, with this gaze, they would ultimately find their way back together.
"Stop fucking around! Do you think I don't exist?!" Wang Weiyang panicked completely; he truly didn't know how to end this situation. What was once under control had turned into such a predicament!
In the distance, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed, mixed with the furious and excited howls of the White Ape that had not ceased for a long time.
Everyone understood clearly; Qin Changlin was finished.
Wang Weiyang's teeth chattered. For someone who had "died" once, he wasn't afraid of death. But he couldn't accept this way of dying. What was this? Defeated by a passionate love?
To hell with it! The deeper your feelings run, the more I want you to suffer!
Thinking of this, Wang Weiyang gave a grim smile towards Ye Tian and without hesitation leaped into the abyss behind him, grasping Cold Frost.
Ye Tian and Cold Yang were taken aback, rushing forward with all their might, but ultimately it was too late.
Looking down, the bottom of the cliff was pitch black, devoid of any light, a heavy silence filled the abyss. Everyone knew that even with Skyward Martial Arts at their disposal, what awaited them below would be certain death...
Cold Yang nearly bit his steel teeth in frustration, his tightly clenched fists digging his blunt nails deep into his flesh.
Ye Tian also fell silent. After a moment, he unexpectedly leaped down without any warning.
This scene stunned Cold Yang for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and resolutely followed suit.
At this moment, Ye Tian was in the process of rapid descent. The brief pause earlier was not hesitation but a quick analysis.
Wang Weiyang possessed the Raccoon Cat True Form within him, making it easy for him to scale cliffs. It was very likely that he had used the act of jumping off the cliff to confuse everyone.
Sure enough, moments later, Ye Tian noticed something moving slowly in the mist below—it appeared to be a vine swaying gently.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Weiyang should not have cared about Cold Frost's fate; after all, the cliff was thousands of feet deep. He himself did not have enough confidence in surviving and would certainly abandon any burdens without hesitation.
Ye Tian shouted as he exerted all his strength to increase his falling speed. However, the faster he fell, the greater the resistance became. After a brief acceleration, his falling speed reached a balance with the resistance and could not increase further.
Focusing his gaze, Cold Frost's still smiling face flickered in and out of view, but this distance could not be crossed...
“Xiaoshuang…” Ye Tian slowly closed his eyes, allowing the surging Shockwave to hit his face. The beloved one was gone; all he could do now was seek revenge.
The vine continued to sway, proving that Wang Weiyang had grasped onto a lifeline. At this moment, Ye Tian's sudden calmness held only one thought—revenge!
With a swift motion, he swung his hand and unleashed the Qi Blade, severing the vine in response.
A startled cry came from below, clearly Wang Weiyang did not expect Ye Tian to follow him recklessly.
"Damn it, this persistent ghost!"
Wang Weiyang cursed, fully aware that if he didn't deal with Ye Tian, there would be no escape today.
From their previous encounters, he understood one thing: any feigned moves or tricks would have little effect on Ye Tian. To completely shake him off, he could only strike with all his might!
If he succeeded, he would be at ease. If he failed, he would meet his end!
At this moment, Wang Weiyang's ruthlessness was ignited. He roared and summoned all his strength; life or death depended on this one strike!
Above, Ye Tian had already gathered all his power. The Bagua Thunder Seal, under the fusion of Martial Origin Power, spiritual energy, and Crimson Dragon's Golden Blood Power, erupted in a brilliant Golden Azure Radiance, illuminating a vast space.
…………
Having been stunned for a moment, Cold Yang could no longer see their figures after jumping into the abyss. Just as he was filled with mixed emotions, a deafening sound shattered his eardrums, followed by an unprecedented ferocious Shockwave pushing upwards. When hit by that Shockwave, Cold Yang felt as if his entire body was about to fall apart, unable to muster even the slightest defense.
In almost an instant, it knocked him unconscious...
