Ye Tian swiftly soared towards the source of the sound, passing through several dense forests until an open area finally appeared before him.
At this moment, two figures were engaged in a fierce battle, clashing against each other. Shockwaves rolled out, shattering the ground around them, sending dirt and stones flying in a violent display.
Looking around, it became clear that this was not originally an open area; rather, it was densely forested. However, under the immense power of the two figures, trees were broken and even reduced to dust.
The identities of these two figures were none other than Duan Liu and Thunderstorm!
In recent years, Thunderstorm had become a prominent figure in Seamless Horizon. His reputation was loud and clear; although he could not compare to Dragon Shadow Prince, he was still well-known.
He was naturally gifted and, after three years of bloody battles, had grown even more ruthless today.
Back at Cloud Sea Sect, due to his status and the sect's regulations, his ferocity had not been fully displayed. He only gave off an impression of being decisive and swift. Now, having broken free from the constraints of the sect, he was like a wild horse unleashed, becoming increasingly unrestrained.
Among the nearly one thousand disciples sent by Cloud Sea Sect to Seamless Horizon, many followed Thunderstorm.
These one thousand disciples could be divided into three factions: one admired Yue Lingwei for her boldness and loyalty; another submitted to Himeka Myou's charisma; while the third fantasized about following Thunderstorm to achieve greater success.
The power dynamics among these three factions clearly favored Thunderstorm, who had the broadest influence.
Out of the thousand disciples, at least five hundred were under his command.
As for Ye Tian, there were indeed people who wanted to follow him. However, due to the accomplishments of Ye Tian, Yun'er, Duan Liu, and Cold Moon forming Moonshadow Melody, they did not engage in such factional disputes.
Although his strength was evident in battle, in daily life, Ye Tian gave off an impression of being indifferent to worldly affairs. Therefore, in most people's minds, the strongest disciple of Cloud Sea Sect remained Thunderstorm.
However, Thunderstorm was acutely aware that while he could still contend with Ye Tian, if given more time to grow, he would likely find himself suppressed.
Moreover, he understood that directly confronting Ye Tian was nearly impossible. He could not find a suitable and effective way to deal with him in terms of strength or cunning.
Yet there was another method that could almost guarantee results as long as there were no mistakes.
That was to target Ye Tian's inner circle, following the path once taken by the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters.
In other words, the plan is to take down each member of Moonshadow Melody one by one!
To implement this strategy, the first target is naturally Duan Liu, who is not very meticulous and prone to making mistakes.
Tonight is the best opportunity. Thunderstorm's spies have discovered Ye Tian and others drinking merrily in the wooden house, and Duan Liu, feeling generous, has had too much to drink.
After this situation was reported to Thunderstorm, he decisively decided to take action. However, although Duan Liu is the easiest to deal with in Moonshadow Melody, among his subordinates, there seems to be no one capable of matching him. Therefore, Thunderstorm chose to act personally to ensure success.
However, fate is unpredictable; during the ambush on Duan Liu, he ended up killing a mysterious force.
This mysterious force is hard to identify; they are not aligned with either side and seem to have a double-edged purpose.
With no other choice, the two had to work together to break free from the encirclement of this mysterious force before coming here for the final duel.
As for that mysterious force, it consists of Lu Lao Liu and others from Esoteric Buddhism and Qishan. Their goal was simply to eliminate Duan Liu because he had killed a disciple of Qishan in a recent battle.
Little did they expect to encounter Thunderstorm. With the intention of wiping out those who oppose Martial Sovereign, they naturally showed no mercy towards Thunderstorm, leading to the current situation.
Of course, Thunderstorm would not share these matters with Ye Tian, nor would Ye Tian be interested in knowing. The only thing they needed to do now was one thing.
In a narrow path, the brave will prevail!
Today, since Ye Tian has caught evidence of Thunderstorm's intent to strike, there is no need for them to continue their secret struggle. To put it plainly, tonight is the moment for them to settle their scores.
“Ye Tian, what are you doing here?” Duan Liu looked at Ye Tian in surprise. Although he asked this question, if Ye Tian hadn't come, he would likely be in trouble today.
“Are you alright?” Ye Tian's eyes shone with golden light. Although he was asking Duan Liu, his gaze was directed at Thunderstorm.
“I'm fine, I'm fine. You came at just the wrong time; if you had been even an hour later, I would have definitely taken him down,” Duan Liu boasted shamelessly to cover up his embarrassment at having already shown signs of defeat.
Upon hearing this, Thunderstorm merely smiled disdainfully and said nothing. In a situation like tonight's, there was no need for him to engage in a verbal sparring match.
However, Ye Tian wanted to give Duan Liu some encouragement. He chuckled and said, “Alright, you go back first. Leave this to me; how could a mere Thunderstorm require our Lord Duan to act personally?”
Duan Liu laughed upon hearing this. He thought to himself that Ye Tian had become more sensible and knew how to give others face.
After laughing, Duan Liu cleared his throat and said, "Alright then, I'll leave it to you, but I can't leave. I have to keep an eye on things."
Ye Tian nodded. He understood that Duan Liu was worried he wasn't a match for Thunderstorm, so he decided to stay in case he needed to step in if things went south.
Duan Liu's presence was quite a deterrent for Thunderstorm. Although Duan Liu's strength was far inferior to his, he was still a Martial Sovereign and possessed the power of the Crimson Flame Ape. Having him around forced Thunderstorm to divide his attention.
Most importantly, Thunderstorm didn't have much confidence in facing Ye Tian alone. If Duan Liu joined in, it would be nearly impossible for him to win.
"Thunderstorm, don't worry. I won't let him interfere with our grudge," Ye Tian said, sensing Thunderstorm's thoughts but speaking in a low voice using the Secret Sound Technique to consider Duan Liu's feelings.
"Hmph, do you think I'm a fool?" Thunderstorm sneered. He judged others by himself and didn't believe Ye Tian would pass up such a great opportunity to gang up on him in favor of a one-on-one fight.
Ye Tian was taken aback. He hadn't intended to go two-on-one; firstly, he had great confidence in defeating Thunderstorm, and secondly, he had decided that his personal grudge against Thunderstorm was more important.
However, Thunderstorm's words clearly indicated he was prepared to retreat. Given Ye Tian's current strength, while he felt he had a ninety percent chance of restraining Thunderstorm and a seventy percent chance of killing him, if Thunderstorm truly wanted to escape, Ye Tian wasn't sure he could stop him.
"Are you scared?" Ye Tian pondered for a moment and decided to provoke him. After all, such opportunities were rare; if he let Thunderstorm escape this time, it would be hard to find another chance like this.
"Shut up! Am I afraid of you?" Thunderstorm roared. His mind was sharp; honestly, if someone else tried to provoke him like this, he wouldn't pay any attention. But when those words came from Ye Tian's mouth, they carried a completely different weight!
