894: Chapter 890: The Power of Wind and Cloud Combined!
“What did you just say?!”
Sima Yun’s words left Ye Tian utterly stunned, as they evoked a strong sense of familiarity within him.
By now, Ye Tian had almost forgotten where he had originally heard those words.
Yet, now he had unexpectedly learned them again from Sima Yun!
A vague sense of foreboding crept into Ye Tian’s heart…
Meanwhile, Sima Yun appeared even more triumphant.
“Heh heh heh heh~~~~~~ Ye Tian, I’m sure you’ve already figured it out!
The Xuan Yun Art clearly records that when the Wind Flow Strength technique and the Xuan Yun Art are used together, tremendous energy will be unleashed!”
“Though I’ve only just discovered this myself and barely started learning the Xuan Yun Art, when Wind Flow Strength and Xuan Yun are combined, something truly wondrous happens!”
“Now, allow me to show you what ‘Wind and Cloud Combined, Maha Infinity’ means!”
Sima Yun declared loudly as he began to unleash the power inside him.
He first activated Wind Flow Strength.
Sima Yun had been cultivating Wind Flow Strength since childhood, so his mastery was extraordinary.
Moreover, he had just absorbed the power of Tianmen Sect Leader Wu Weizi, elevating his Wind Flow Strength to its pinnacle.
A fierce whirlwind erupted around Sima Yun, tightly encasing his body…
The martial artists observing the battle instinctively stepped back, for Sima Yun now exuded an aura that made it feel impossible to approach him…
Yet Ye Tian remained motionless, unfazed.
After all, he had fought countless masters who utilized Wind Flow Strength and was long accustomed to the technique.
What most intrigued Ye Tian was how much Sima Yun’s strength would increase once he unleashed the power of Xuan Yun Art.
“Heh heh heh~~~~ This is the power of Wind Flow Strength!”
Suddenly, Sima Yun’s voice echoed from within the whirlwind!
“But… this alone is far from enough!
Ye Tian, watch closely with wide-open eyes and see what happens when Wind Flow Strength mingles with the power of Xuan Yun Art!”
Sima Yun roared, and at the same time started to utilize the Xuan Yun Art!
Even though he had trained in Xuan Yun for only a short time, Sima Yun was adept at harnessing the force of nature.
Thus, as soon as Xuan Yun Art was activated, a considerable amount of cloud energy nearby was absorbed into Sima Yun’s body…
Of course, compared to the force of nature Ye Tian could draw when using the Xuan Yun Art, Sima Yun’s absorption was insignificant.
However, even a small amount of Power of the Clouds caused an astonishing transformation when it merged with Sima Yun’s Power of the Wind!
“Boom!”
A sharp sound rang out as an immense energy suddenly erupted from Sima Yun’s body, sending Ye Tian flying!
“This is so powerful?!”
Ye Tian couldn’t believe it.
He hadn’t anticipated that merely mixing a trace of Power of the Clouds into the Power of the Wind could produce such a magical effect.
The Power of the Clouds acted like a catalyst, drastically altering the properties, intensity, and attributes of the Power of the Wind!
After being blown away, Ye Tian immediately activated the Thousand Catties Drop technique to stabilize himself, avoiding a disgraceful fall.
Meanwhile, with both Wind Flow Strength and Xuan Yun Art combined, Sima Yun launched his attack!
“Whoosh!”
With a single push of his foot, Sima Yun instantly appeared before Ye Tian.
“This speed?!”
Ye Tian had no time to react; Sima Yun’s speed was on an entirely different level compared to when they had fought earlier.
He was far, far faster.
Unable to react, and naturally incapable of defending himself—
“Bang!”
Sima Yun’s fist struck Ye Tian hard in the stomach.
With the swift Power of the Wind augmented by the heft brought by the Power of the Clouds, Sima Yun’s punch wasn’t only unparalleled in speed but also immensely forceful.
The single strike sent Ye Tian’s body flying into midair.
“Whoosh!”
But Sima Yun’s attack was far from over.
With a swift use of Qinggong, he lunged towards Ye Tian, who was still airborne!
In almost no time, Sima Yun closed in on Ye Tian from behind.
“Thud!”
Sima Yun’s heavy kick crashed into Ye Tian’s spine, hurling him from midair down to the ground.
The impact was so powerful that Ye Tian’s body smashed into the ground like a cannonball, creating a large crater accompanied by a resounding “Boom!”
“Boss!”
“Boss, you can’t be seriously hurt!”
The Ding brothers cried out in panic upon seeing Ye Tian suffer such a heavy blow.
But since they were too far away, their shouts couldn’t reach Ye Tian.
As for the Ye Four Elders, though somewhat more composed than the Ding brothers, they too began to grow restless…
“I never imagined Sima Yun would be this strong.
The enhancement Xuan Yun Art provides for Wind Flow Strength is beyond words.
Ye Tian is at a clear disadvantage facing an opponent like this!”
“Indeed!
I’ve never seen anyone combine Wind Flow Strength and Xuan Yun Art before, but I didn’t expect it to yield such results!”
“Earlier, I thought Sima Yun had already exerted all his power, yet he clearly still had another move.
Shocking, truly shocking!”
“This is no longer just a matter of Ye Tian struggling or not.
If he can’t respond immediately, he’ll likely fall to Sima Yun.
If that happens, we’re all doomed!”
The Ye Four Elders understood very well the importance of Ye Tian’s fight against Sima Yun.
Ye Tian couldn’t afford to lose, for his failure would lead to catastrophic consequences!
Not just for those present, but even the entire Martial Arts World could face annihilation!
Meanwhile, the disciples of Tianmen, both inner and outer sect, dared not even breathe.
Sima Yun’s attack on Ye Tian was so swift that most had failed to catch his movements.
Now, Ye Tian had suffered grave injuries, his life hanging by a thread.
Sima Yun’s ferocious attacks were blindingly fast and overwhelming…
After being smashed into the ground, Ye Tian felt as though every bone in his body was shattered.
He staggered to his feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Ye Tian gently wiped away the blood on his lips…
Sima Yun descended slowly from the sky and, upon seeing Ye Tian still alive, appeared somewhat surprised!
“Ye Tian, is your body forged from steel?
A normal person would’ve been obliterated by my attack.
Yet you’ve only been injured!
Truly unexpected!”
Although Sima Yun admired Ye Tian’s resilience, his tone was riddled with mocking disdain.
To Sima Yun, now that he had combined Wind Flow Strength and Xuan Yun Art to achieve the state of Maha Infinity, Ye Tian stood no chance of surviving!
In his eyes, Ye Tian’s death was inevitable.
No matter how strong Ye Tian’s body might be, without equivalent power, his demise was only a matter of time…
“But Ye Tian, regardless of how much you endure, you cannot defeat me!
Today, death is your only option!”
Sima Yun spoke coldly as he once again summoned the power within him.
Ye Tian looked at the overwhelming energy flowing out of Sima Yun’s body and understood clearly: the combined power of Wind Flow Strength and Xuan Yun Art was not something ordinary techniques could withstand.
However, even so, Ye Tian would not resign himself to slaughter!
“Kill me?
Don’t joke around!
Sima Yun, you’ve only begun to dabble in the combination of Wind and Cloud, and your mastery is far from complete.
If this is all it takes to kill me, then I, Ye Tian, would truly have no place in the Martial Arts World!”
Though injured, Ye Tian maintained a calm demeanor as he spoke, his words immediately provoking Sima Yun’s wrath!
“What did you say!?
Ye Tian, you’re truly arrogant!
It seems that this time, I’ll not only kill you but make your death utterly miserable!”
Sima Yun retorted angrily, but Ye Tian remained unfazed!
“Sima Yun, if combining two techniques is all it takes to amplify power, you’re hardly the only one adept at it!
I’ve long mastered the art of harmonizing the powers within me!”
Then, Ye Tian began gathering strength from every part of his being.
Traditional Inner Strength, Power of Death, Power of Life, Power of the Clouds, the force of the Spirit Vein Stone—all supplemented by the innate strength he had attained after reaching the Innate Realm…
All these powers converged and fused, achieving a synergy where “1+1 > 2.”
In the past, Ye Tian had expended tremendous effort mastering this fusion, defeating Sima Feng by leveraging this blending of powers!
Now, standing before Sima Yun, Ye Tian deployed the same strategy, leaving Sima Yun visibly shaken!
Sima Yun’s Wind and Cloud technique relied on Wind Flow Strength as the mainstay, with Xuan Yun Art as support…
While Ye Tian’s power fusion used Xuan Yun Art as the vessel, integrating all his energies together!
In their respective approaches to power blending, Sima Yun and Ye Tian exhibited a parallel ingenuity, achieving similar results: enabling themselves to wield might that exceeded human limits!
“You bastard!
Flaunting all your tricks like this!”
Sima Yun sensed the growing strength within Ye Tian and gritted his teeth.
The melded forces within Ye Tian possessed an extraordinary potency that even Sima Yun dared not underestimate…
