On this day, Ye Tian and the others gathered together. Although they were on the front lines of war, they still found some leisure time. They had been diligently training recently, and it was quite exhausting, so they decided to take advantage of the relatively quiet day to relax a bit.
Drinks were essential. Before arriving here, Ye Tian and Duan Liu had already considered this, so the Xumi Ring was filled with countless fine wines, all for "just in case."
After a few rounds of drinks, Duan Liu couldn't hold it any longer and rushed out, complaining about needing to relieve himself.
Ye Tian and the others shook their heads and chuckled. Duan Liu always acted this way; he had the least tolerance for alcohol but was always the most eager.
Time passed, and it felt like a long while. Seeing that Duan Liu still hadn't returned, Ye Tian joked, "Is this guy so drunk that he's lost in his own business?"
Cold Moon, who was eating, shot Ye Tian a glare and said, "How disgusting!"
Ye Tian laughed heartily and said, "I'll go check on him. If he really is like that, our Moonshadow Melody's reputation will be ruined."
Yun'er and Cold Moon nodded repeatedly; they valued that reputation highly. After all, what were they out here for if not to make a name for themselves?
Of course, their comments about Duan Liu tarnishing their reputation were made in jest. The bond among the four had grown beyond mere friendship or brotherhood; they had already shared life-and-death experiences together. After enduring the trials of war, their relationship had deepened even further—calling each other family would not be an exaggeration.
It was late autumn, and the weather was turning cold. Being by the sea meant that every gust of wind brought a damp chill.
Because of this, heavy curtains were hung in front of the wooden cabin where they stayed. Although Martial Practitioners were not afraid of severe cold, it didn't mean they couldn't feel it.
Moreover, no one wanted to live in such a damp and cold environment every day. This was beyond doubt; anyone who would do so wasn't training but simply foolish.
As Ye Tian pulled aside the heavy curtain, a cold breeze mixed with the unique scent of the sea rushed towards him, making him feel a chill that sobered him up somewhat.
"Duan Liu, Duan Liu? Are you still not done?" Ye Tian looked around. This guy, Duan Liu, was quite careless; he always relieved himself right outside the door, causing quite a stench on sunny days.
Moreover, he didn't even shy away from Cold Moon and Yun'er, which had led to him getting beaten up more than once.
At this moment, Duan Liu was so drunk that he wouldn't be able to find a secluded spot to take care of business, so he must be nearby.
However, after scanning the area, Ye Tian did not see any sign of Duan Liu. He called out several times but received no response.
"Where on earth did this guy go?" Ye Tian muttered as he walked towards the woods beside the house.
The forest was dense, filled with trees that Ye Tian did not recognize; they were likely unique to the seaside. The trees were exceptionally tall and sturdy; even the smallest among them would probably be as thick as five people could embrace and reach twenty zhang in height.
These trees were quite peculiar, their massive canopies overshadowing the sky like a dark cloud. Despite the starry night, not a single ray of starlight could penetrate through their cover.
The forest was pitch black and eerily quiet; there wasn't even the slightest sound of insects or birds. Straining to listen, one could only faintly hear the distant sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
"Why does it feel a bit unusual?" Ye Tian frowned slightly. He often came to this forest and had walked through it many times at night, but it had never been this quiet before. It felt as if some enormous creature was lurking in the shadows, exuding an aura that made all living beings within the forest too afraid to make a sound.
"Duan Liu? Duan Liu?" Ye Tian called out again. Now at the fifth stage of Martial Sovereign and having awakened part of his Crimson Dragon's Golden Blood Power, his senses were extraordinarily sharp.
If something strange were nearby, he would definitely be able to sense it. If there were any hidden beasts, he should have noticed them as well. Similarly, if Duan Liu were close by, he would also pick up on some traces of his presence.
Yet now, the forest remained tranquil and dim; even the wind had ceased. There was not even a hint of life!
After listening intently for a while, Ye Tian suddenly frowned. In the distance, the sound of waves crashing against the rocky shore was faint, but even the slightest hint indicated that it was a windy day.
However, here, it was so calm that not a single hair moved!
What did this indicate?
It meant that this space had been sealed by some mysterious force, preventing even the wind from entering!
At the same time, all sensations would be isolated, making it impossible to perceive anything!
"This is bad!" Three years on the battlefield had sharpened Ye Tian's instincts. He felt a chill in his heart and instantly sensed the pervasive killing intent.
Although killing intent is also referred to as "qi," it is not exactly a type of qi; other types of qi can be sensed, but killing intent can only be felt with the heart.
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly felt a strong killing intent approaching him.
"Could it be that Duan Liu has encountered misfortune?" This thought arose in his mind, causing Ye Tian to feel a chill run through him, and the effects of alcohol completely dissipated.
A year and a half ago, Chai Shi from Falling Cloud Pavilion, who had previously had conflicts with Ye Tian, was quietly assassinated in his own home during the dead of night.
Yue Lingwei's room was not far away, yet he had not sensed any presence. As a result, this incident became an unsolved case. At that time, people were in a state of panic; to have someone killed right under the nose of a Martial Sovereign was alarming, and the origins and strength of the assassin left everyone worried.
However, after that incident, such occurrences had not happened again. As time passed, people began to forget about it.
Little did they expect that today it would happen again, and right beside Ye Tian!
“Duan Liu……” Ye Tian murmured, a sense of foreboding washing over him. At the same time, a fierce determination surged within him; if anyone dared to harm Duan Liu, he would scour the world and turn heaven and earth upside down to find the culprit and tear them to pieces!
At that moment, Ye Tian, overwhelmed by his emotions, let his guard down slightly and failed to notice that not far behind him, a sharp blade glinted with murderous intent, swiftly approaching.
Swish!
It was only when the blade flashed toward Ye Tian's neck that he finally sensed danger. He flipped his palm, golden light erupted, and he turned to strike back.
Bang!
The blade in his hand—one must admit, the assailant reacted quickly, managing to defend just in time against Ye Tian's speed at the fifth stage of Martial Sovereign.
This indicated that the attacker was at least a Martial Sovereign.
Ye Tian turned around, but all he saw was an afterimage rapidly fleeing toward the Forest.
“Where do you think you're going!” Ride the Wind and Break the Waves activated as Ye Tian poured energy into his legs, leaping forward with a distance of Hundred Zhang!
Before they descended the mountain to head for Seamless Horizon, Cloudscar personally distributed martial arts teachings to all disciples. Of course, the martial arts that Ye Tian received were unique; there was no need to elaborate on why.
This Ride the Wind and Break the Waves was one of the martial arts that Cloudscar privately entrusted to him. It was a Profound Level Skyward Martial Arts, known for its incredible speed and two waves of energy released to repel nearby enemies.
This was an offensive technique, most suitable for taking down enemy generals amidst thousands of troops!
This clearly demonstrated what kind of hopes Cloudscar had for Ye Tian.
Hundred Zhang The distance could be crossed in the blink of an eye; even a thousand zhang was merely a few breaths away. In an instant, Ye Tian caught up to the shadow.
"Trying to escape? Take this—Stormy Winds and Thunder!" Ye Tianxin chanted, and brilliant golden light surged from his arms. Two strands of Golden Thunder intertwined with wind, appearing simultaneously on Ye Tian's arms.
In the past, Cloudscar had privately imparted the true meaning of Stormy Winds and Thunder to Ye Tian. At that time, he did not fully understand it; although he later gained some insight, it was merely a glimpse into the concept.
Now, after battling for a long time on the battlefield, he finally comprehended the true meaning of those words.
The so-called unity of intent and heart meant that Stormy Winds and Thunder embodied the forces of heaven and earth. The might of heaven is invincible, and the strength of earth is unmatched. This means that one who uses Stormy Winds and Thunder must possess an unstoppable momentum and a dominating spirit that declares, "I am the only one!" With these two qualities, one can unleash Stormy Winds and Thunder to its perfect state.
Boom!
In the hands of Ye Tian, whose power surged and who had grasped the true meaning, Stormy Winds and Thunder was no longer limited to mere martial arts levels. If it had to be classified, it would likely be at least equivalent to above Profound Level!
Thunder roared, and Whispers echoed with an unstoppable momentum. The shadow paused, clearly taken aback by how difficult his opponent was to deal with.
However, he was no fool either; being able to eliminate Chai Shi, who was then an Eight Segments Martial Sovereign, without anyone noticing spoke volumes about his strength.
Whoosh!
He turned around and struck with his palm. Aside from the howling wind generated by his palm strike, there seemed to be nothing special about it.
But if one truly thought that way, they would be gravely mistaken.
After a breath following his palm strike, his five fingers suddenly came together, forming the stance of a snake fist. Of course, snake fist techniques were not rare, but when he opened his palm again, something strange occurred.
Suddenly, fangs sprouted from the center of his palm, and a crimson snake tongue flickered in and out. In the blink of an eye, his entire palm transformed into the head of a venomous snake, its tongue darting out in a strange manner.
Ye Tian frowned, unsure of what was happening. However, since Stormy Winds and Thunder had made a move, there was no way he would choose to retreat.
Without hesitation, he threw a punch downwards.
Boom!
The immense force didn't even require physical contact; the turbulent energy from his fist alone created a large pit measuring ten feet on each side in the ground.
Ash flew everywhere, dust rising up, and amidst the explosion sound, the shadow fell silent.
Due to the activation of Divine Origin Power, there was a visible area around him. But with the dust blocking his view, everything became hazy.
When the ash finally settled and Ye Tian focused again, the shadow had long since vanished without a trace.
Even Stormy Winds and Thunder, known as the Martial Sovereign, who had formed the Martial Dan and activated Divine Origin Power while comprehending true meaning, could not keep him in place with a single strike!
Ye Tian frowned slightly, but just then, a blood-red light shot up from the deep pit.
