847: Chapter 843: Fierce Battle 847: Chapter 843: Fierce Battle “Struck by the Blood Bodhi and still alive?
Ye Tian, you truly have an extraordinary physique!”
Wang Cai said coldly, his tone dripping with arrogance.
“Indeed!
With a hidden weapon like this, even if several more struck me, it would feel like nothing at all!”
Although injured, Ye Tian gritted his teeth and spoke firmly, unwilling to show any weakness, at least not verbally.
It wasn’t until he was hit by the opponent’s hidden weapon that Ye Tian realized Wang Cai didn’t use his hands to launch the weapon—he was manipulating it with his “Qi.”
This allowed Wang Cai to divide his focus during their fierce battle.
As Ye Tian concentrated on countering Wang Cai’s wooden blade, the Blood Bodhi was stealthily driven by Qi to strike him brutally!
If not for Ye Tian’s physique being several times tougher than that of an ordinary person, he would have been reduced to bloody shreds by the three Blood Bodhi long ago…
“But Wang Cai, ambushing me with a hidden weapon?
That’s a one-time trick!
I, the Black Night King, will not fall for the same move twice!”
Ye Tian sneered, retreating a step to put some distance between them.
Then Ye Tian immediately retrieved his silver needles from his carry bag.
A few sharp needles shot out from the box, like they had eyes, piercing straight into Ye Tian’s back.
Just now, Wang Cai demonstrated his Qi-driven hidden weapon technique.
This time, Ye Tian used Qi as well—but to heal himself with the silver needles.
As the needles pierced into his body, Ye Tian felt his energy flow smooth out, and the gaping wounds on his back slowly began to close…
Wang Cai stood not far away, watching Ye Tian’s healing process with an astonished expression on his face once more!
“I didn’t expect your medical skills to be so advanced.
At this rate, unless I obliterate you into dust, you’ll just keep standing back up to fight!”
Wang Cai sneered as Ye Tian hastily finished his treatment…
In such a short span of time, it was impossible for Ye Tian to fully heal the wounds on his back.
At best, he could temporarily stop the bleeding and restore smooth circulation of energy throughout his body.
However, the injuries inflicted by the Blood Bodhi would likely take several days to completely recover.
But Ye Tian didn’t have the luxury to heal further—
The adversary in front of him was formidable, and any hint of carelessness would likely result in instant death at Wang Cai’s hands!
Ye Tian returned the silver needles to his box, posed himself and lunged at Wang Cai once again, moving several times faster than before!
“Huh?”
Wang Cai gasped in surprise.
He had assumed that Ye Tian, weakened by blood loss, would have grown slower.
But instead, Ye Tian’s speed had increased.
Cautiously, Wang Cai gathered his power around his palms as he exchanged blows with Ye Tian’s wooden blade!
“Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang~~~~~~~~~”
The clash of the wooden blade and Wang Cai’s palms produced an earsplitting sound.
Both combatants exhibited immense strength, causing the ground beneath them to tremble as though voicing its own agony!
All the martial artists nearby were stunned.
The power of these two fighters was on a level far beyond anyone present.
If either one of them faced any of the observers, the fight would be akin to cutting through butter.
The martial artists had initially planned to assist Ye Tian, but now, there wasn’t even an opportunity to intervene…
They could only watch in mute shock at the life-and-death duel unfolding between Ye Tian and Wang Cai—this battle would determine the fate of every single one of them.
“To think you grow stronger when challenged.
Impressive!”
Amidst the struggle, Wang Cai could not help but remark at Ye Tian’s ever-improving speed and strength.
Such an opponent was a rarity for Wang Cai!
“Right back at you!”
Ye Tian retorted mockingly.
In truth, whenever Ye Tian sensed the smell of blood, his attack power and speed naturally heightened—a primal instinct unique to him.
This was why, in previous battles with mythical beasts like the Pixiu, Ye Tian could fight evenly with them…
But this opponent was different!
Even now, Wang Cai hadn’t unleashed his full strength.
No matter how much Ye Tian’s power and speed increased, it didn’t faze Wang Cai, who remained unnervingly composed.
“Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!”
As the duel intensified, Ye Tian’s ears caught a familiar noise.
Without needing to look, he knew it—the Blood Bodhi was coming once more.
Only this time, there weren’t just three Blood Bodhi.
It sounded like seven or eight.
Even with sharp hearing, Ye Tian couldn’t discern the exact number!
“Boss, watch out!”
Ding Da shouted again, but this time, Ye Tian was prepared!
“I’ve already told you—using the same move on me is futile!”
Ye Tian shouted, twisting his body to generate a cyclone of energy around him.
The seven or eight Blood Bodhi barreled toward Ye Tian but were instantly deflected by the energy swirling around his body.
The deflected Blood Bodhi shot straight back toward Wang Cai!
This was Ye Tian’s signature skill: redirecting his opponent’s force.
Even Wang Cai found himself slightly disoriented by the counterattack…
Wang Cai knew well the destructive power of the Blood Bodhi.
With Ye Tian’s added momentum, the projectiles had become even deadlier.
Unwilling to take the Blood Bodhi head-on, Wang Cai swiftly leapt upward, dodging the attack!
Ye Tian’s sharp eyes caught Wang Cai in midair.
Seizing the moment, he leaped as well, swinging his wooden blade fiercely at his airborne opponent!
“Swish, swish, swish~~~~~~~”
The blade carved countless arcs in the air, homing in on Wang Cai.
This time, Ye Tian poured all his strength into the assault, certain that Wang Cai, airborne, wouldn’t be able to defend himself completely.
But to Ye Tian’s surprise, his all-out strike failed to land.
Wang Cai, still in midair, performed yet another leap, completely evading the attack!
“That bastard!”
Ye Tian gritted his teeth.
He had seen a similar technique before while battling Sima Feng!
It became clear now—this foe could virtually fly.
That’s why even Ye Tian’s full-strength swing couldn’t hit its mark!
As Ye Tian reeled in astonishment, a surge of energy descended from above.
In a panic, Ye Tian could only raise his wooden blade to block…
“Boom!”
The impact struck Ye Tian’s blade, producing an earthshaking sound.
Ye Tian, still clutching his blade, was hurled out of the air and crashed heavily into the ground.
Struggling to his feet, he noticed a palm-shaped crater where he had landed!
Gazing back at Wang Cai hovering above, Ye Tian saw that his opponent’s palms radiated with limitless energy!
“Ye Tian, didn’t you say the same moves won’t work on you?
Then let’s see you counter this technique from the sky!”
Wang Cai taunted smugly from above before unleashing another devastating palm strike.
“Everyone, scatter!”
Ye Tian shouted, leaping aside desperately!
“Boom!”
The palm strike exploded on the ground.
Even though Ye Tian evaded the hit, the blast rippled through the crowd of martial artists.
Several fighters were thrown into the air, slamming heavily onto the ground, groaning in agony…
Wang Cai’s ranged palm strikes were so ferocious they could no longer be considered martial techniques—this was indiscriminate, aerial bombardment!
The martial artists were utterly shaken and terrified…
But Wang Cai didn’t relent.
He hovered above, continuing his barrage of palm strikes.
“Boom!”
Another strike detonated on the ground like a cannonball, knocking out several unfortunate fighters who couldn’t dodge in time…
“Damn it!”
Ye Tian cursed under his breath.
There was no way to counter such an attack.
Before Wang Cai, they were nothing more than helpless prey!
“Boss, you must flee!
That guy is too strong!”
“Yes, Boss!
If it’s just you, you can escape for sure!”
“Boss, please, go on your own!”
The three Ding brothers rushed to Ye Tian’s side, pleading.
They were painfully aware—none of the sect’s outer disciples present could hope to survive Wang Cai’s assault.
But Ye Tian was different.
His strength far surpassed everyone else’s, and his Qinggong was unrivaled.
If he abandoned the burden of protecting others, Ye Tian had a real shot at escaping.
Faced with their pleas, Ye Tian’s expression hardened.
“Escape?
As the leader of the Night King Hall, how could I leave you all behind?”
“But, Boss, that guy is airborne.
There’s no way for us to fight him!”
Ding Da pressed.
Ye Tian raised his head to look at Wang Cai in the sky.
“Then I’ll bring him down!”
Ye Tian declared proudly.
The Ding brothers tried fervently to dissuade him!
“Boss, that guy is too terrifying.
Fighting him head-on is hopeless!”
“Right, Boss!
As long as the Qingshan remains, there’ll always be firewood to burn!”
“Boss, you can’t beat him yet.
But with your talent, you could surpass him in no time!”
Despite their objections, Ye Tian remained resolute.
“I won’t abandon anyone!”
Ye Tian declared, grasping his wooden blade tightly and leaping into the sky!
“Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish~~~~~~~~~”
Ye Tian swung his blade furiously, unleashing a barrage of strikes toward Wang Cai.
Despite the ferocious attack, Wang Cai merely smirked.
“It’s futile.
Your blade moves can’t defeat me.”
Saying this, Wang Cai shifted his Qi and darted in another direction, leaving Ye Tian’s assault to strike empty air.
Then Wang Cai struck again, sending a palm strike hurtling toward Ye Tian’s back!
“Boom!”
The devastating palm force was aimed squarely at Ye Tian, who, suspended in midair, had no way to dodge.
It seemed inevitable that he would be struck…
