"Ha ha, is the Cloud Sea Sect really that impressive?"
One of the richly dressed men raised an eyebrow and stepped forward to poke Ye Tian's chest with his finger, displaying a rather contemptuous demeanor.
Of course, this was under the assumption that Ye Tian was just an ordinary disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect. In reality, although the Cloud Sea Sect had a great reputation, its thousands of ordinary disciples who traveled outside had little to rely on. After all, this was a world where the weak were preyed upon by the strong.
It was not uncommon for ordinary disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect to lose their lives while on missions or journeys, almost every year and nearly every month.
However, this only applied to ordinary disciples. For someone like Ye Tian, who was a direct disciple and also a holder of the Cloud Token, if he were killed outside, the Cloud Sea Sect would definitely go to great lengths to punish the murderer.
Direct disciples were relatively safer, but for a Cloud Token holder in the Cloud Sea Sect, they were like a tree to its fruit or vegetation to grass seeds; it represented a legacy that could not be allowed to be harmed.
"Who are you?" Ye Tian did not show much anger, but his calmness indicated that this person was already in extreme danger.
Upon hearing this, the man hesitated for a moment. Although he viewed Ye Tian as just an ordinary disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect, he was not a major force in Divine Wood County; he was merely a local tyrant in a small border area.
Killing an ordinary disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect still posed some risk for him and required a certain level of determination.
"I am Lu Yunchang! I won't change my name or my surname!" Lu Yunchang shouted boldly after hesitating for a moment. He thought that since he had already offended this young man from the Cloud Sea Sect, he might as well go all out.
"Very well. Are you good friends with her?" Ye Tian asked again, trying to determine whether Lu Yunchang should be punished severely or just taught a lesson.
"That's right! I protect her!" Lu Yunchang recklessly declared, now without any reservations. He even went on to reveal many things about how his family had supported Li Huo Sect's growth.
Of course, he did not say this to intimidate Ye Tian, but rather to boast about his contributions to Mei'er, the Fire Sect Leader, in front of many rivals who seemed united but were actually divided.
At the same time, it was a reminder to the Fire Sect Leader that he was the first to stand up for her today and had helped her many times in the past; once the matter was accomplished, she should remember who had helped her.
As soon as these words were spoken, many others followed suit, recounting their own connections with the Li Huo Sect, fearing they would fall behind.
"Very good, let's see how this plays out," Ye Tian quietly listened and nodded slightly. He looked around at everyone with a cold smile before finally fixing his gaze on Lu Yunchang.
"Curse you!" Lu Yunchang felt uneasy under Ye Tian's intense stare. How could a mere local tyrant withstand Ye Tian's piercing gaze?
Ye Tian remained silent despite being cursed at; his pupils narrowed slightly, and a cold light burst forth.
Then, with a loud bang, without any visible movement, Lu Yunchang was sent flying while Ye Tian was already surrounded by an extremely illusory mist.
The crowd gasped in shock and hurriedly scattered while glancing at Lu Yunchang. Their surprise quickly turned into horror when they saw that Lu Yunchang's chest had caved in and he was embedded into the wall.
It should be noted that Lu Yunchang was at least a Seventh-Dan Martial Artist in the later stages and specialized in various combat forms. Although his defense was not particularly strong, he was still among the upper tier of those present. No one expected that he could be killed by a single punch from this young man.
What was even more terrifying was that they hadn’t even seen the action clearly before the battle was over.
At this moment, within the Curtain, the Fire Sect Leader felt a sinking sensation in her heart. She realized that taking action against the Cloud Sea Sect and its Cloud Token holder was indeed seeking death; today would be her end.
"Sigh..." A sigh from within the mist lightly echoed out. Although it was close by, no one could pinpoint its exact location.
Phantom Cloud, Xuanyuan Changfeng's personal martial arts are most suitable for situations where one faces many opponents.
"Everyone be careful, work together to attack him, and don't get close to that mist."
"Activate Martial Origin Power, with everyone's strength combined, I don't believe we can't kill him!"
"Wait, why do I feel that this person is not just an ordinary disciple of Cloud Sea Sect..." After saying this, the person turned to look into the Curtain.
"At this point, I might as well tell you the truth; he is indeed not just an ordinary disciple of Cloud Sea Sect. He is... a personal disciple." Fire Sect Leader cackled. Since they were all likely doomed today, she thought it better to drag everyone down with her. Once they learned Ye Tian's true identity, they would surely fight harder to save their own lives.
However, she chose to omit the fact about the holder of the Cloud Token, because a personal disciple only needs exceptional talent to qualify, while the holder of Cloud Ridge has strict requirements regarding strength.
In other words, appropriate pressure can motivate people, but excessive pressure can cause them to falter before the battle even begins.
Sure enough, after hearing Fire Sect Leader's words, everyone fell into a brief yet conflicted emotional state. However, after hesitating for a moment, their eyes gleamed with cold light, all thinking that they absolutely could not let Ye Tian live today.
"Damn it, you little vixen! If you dare to use us today, once we deal with this brat, you'll have it coming!"
"You probably haven't tasted what it's like to serve ten men. Once this is over, we'll make sure you get a proper experience!"
The group directed all their anger at Fire Sect Leader, eager to immediately unleash their frustrations on this woman who had manipulated them.
"Hehehe, ten men? With your kind, even if you brought twenty more tied together, it wouldn't satisfy me!" Fire Sect Leader was not angry at all. To her, the more twisted the pleasure was, the more enjoyable it became. No matter how many there were—ten or even a hundred—she would only find it more delightful.
Everyone felt helpless upon hearing this, but there was no other way; resolving the issue with Ye Tian was the most urgent matter.
"Are you done?" Ye Tian had been listening quietly and finally spoke up.
"I noticed he sighed just now, which indicates he still has some reservations. Everyone must act without worrying about the consequences; otherwise, none of us will make it out today," one person said, trying to sound clever.
Ye Tian's perception was incredibly sharp, and he naturally heard this remark.
"Heh, I truly don't want to hurt your feelings. The sigh earlier was merely my frustration at not being able to crush Lu Yunchang's chest with a single punch," Ye Tian shook his head and sneered. Earlier, he had used the newly mastered martial art, Stormy Winds and Thunder, but clearly, the effect was not as satisfactory as he had hoped.
"You're being arrogant! Old Lu is well-versed in various Martial Arts of the Battle Body; how could you possibly pierce his chest with one punch? If it weren't for your sneak attack just now, he probably wouldn't have died at all!" Someone, feeling cowardly, began to bolster their own courage.
In truth, they all understood the actual situation very well. Was Lu Yunchang caught off guard? He simply hadn't reacted in time or, even if he did, he couldn't defend himself.
"Is that so? Then are you all ready? I'm about to make my move," Ye Tian said as he dispersed the mist, revealing his slightly thin figure.
At this moment, a look of disdain crossed his face as he scanned everyone around him, showing no regard for this group of top-tier experts within a thousand miles.
"Now's our chance!"
This was the only thought in the minds of those so-called big shots at that moment: take advantage of Ye Tian putting away his defensive martial art, Phantom Cloud, and strike while he's unprepared!
Their thoughts were despicable, and their actions were even more contradictory to their earlier claims that Ye Tian had launched a sneak attack.
In an instant, several powerful forces surged simultaneously towards Ye Tian.
Ye Tian let out a cold laugh, and a mist enveloped him, expanding even further this time, causing the entire room to become ethereal in an instant.
With his current strength, as a Ninth-Dan Martial Artist, combined with the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood and Fourth Spirit Capsule, he was fully capable of confronting a Martial Unity Expert head-on. Thus, under the impetus of such formidable power, the coverage of Phantom Cloud reached an astonishing ten zhang.
The entire room was only about eight or nine zhang in square area, so it was completely shrouded in mist.
At the moment the mist rose, all attacks lost their direction, and no one knew where Ye Tian was. They could only focus intently and channel all their Martial Origin Power to protect themselves.
Boom!
A muffled sound came from the eastern corner of the room, followed by a scream. Without thinking, it was clear that one person had already met their end.
The others were even more terrified and began calling out to confirm each other's positions before gathering together.
However, their speed could not match Ye Tian's. He darted left and right and within moments had taken down two more people.
The difference between Martial Unity Definition and Martial Mastery meant that in this kind of cross-level battle, without secret techniques or exceptionally powerful martial arts backing them up, it was simply a one-sided situation.
Although Ye Tian had not yet achieved Martial Unity, his strength was already absolutely comparable to that of a Martial Unity Expert.
In fact, even an ordinary Martial Sovereign would likely struggle to defend themselves against him! So how could this group of mere Four-Stage Martial Artists stand a chance?
As everyone sensed the situation was dire, they began to scream and prepare to flee. It was then that the Fire Sect Leader, still within the Curtain, coldly laughed and uttered words that extinguished all hope.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you all, he is not just a disciple of the Cloud Sea Clan; he is also the holder of the Cloud Token. You heroes truly are something else. Want to escape? Hmph, do you think that's still possible?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's movements halted, and they stood there in a daze, unsure of what to say.
Though they couldn't voice their thoughts, in their hearts they had already cursed this woman countless times for her cruelty.
Perhaps they could escape, but they were well aware of the influence the Cloud Token holder had within the Cloud Sea Sect. Could they really escape from the first day to the fifteenth? Could they take their families and fortunes with them?
At this moment, they had no choice but to risk everything.
However, it seemed that even risking everything did not provide them with any real strength.
Bang!
While everyone was lost in thought, Ye Tian struck down another person with a palm. Stormy Winds and Thunder had made some progress after slaying several individuals.
Ye Tian looked at his palm but shook his head in disappointment; he was still far from his expectations. Moreover, he had not been able to comprehend the words of guidance given by Cloudscar.
Nevertheless, dealing with these people was no different from slaughtering pigs or dogs.
