851: Chapter 847: The Power of the Four Symbols Formation!
Unity and cooperation are the typical tactics employed by the martial artists of the Night King Hall in combat.
Back when Ye Xuong was under the control of Sima Feng’s Puppetry Technique, it was through such collaboration that the martial artists managed to neutralize the technique.
This time, the three Ding brothers immediately responded!
The actions of Ye Tian and the three Ding brothers had already inspired the Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples present.
Although this group of external disciples had never collaborated so cohesively before, this time, everyone was willing to share their strength!
Two to thirty martial artists continuously channeled their internal energy into the bodies of the Ye Four Elders.
Facing a top-tier expert like Wang Cai, the power of any single martial artist might be insignificant, but collectively, their combined energy was enough to instill dread.
Using the Four Symbols Formation requires considerable effort, especially when it’s used to trap a powerful expert like Wang Cai.
The Ye Four Elders, already advanced in age, expended a tremendous amount of energy, barely able to hold on.
Fortunately, with Ye Tian and the external disciples of Heaven Gate continually channeling their energy, the Ye Four Elders were revitalized.
With their spirits reinvigorated, the power of the Four Symbols Formation naturally reached an unmatched level!
“Boom~~~~~”
A deafening sound erupted as the ground beneath Wang Cai cracked wide open!
Just moments ago, Wang Cai, who had been struggling to break free and was close to escaping the Four Symbols Formation, found his entire body sinking into the fissure!
“How is this possible!?”
Wang Cai exclaimed in shock.
He had not expected the Ye Four Elders’ formation, supported by this many martial artists, to unleash such immense power.
Even he was trapped…
“Hmph!
Don’t think this will kill me!
You may trap me for now, but you won’t trap me forever.
When I emerge, it will be your time to die!”
Wang Cai declared arrogantly.
His entire body was then buried beneath the soil, and no sound came from him anymore…
After successfully trapping Wang Cai, Ye Zhihuan immediately shouted, “Everyone, run!”
Everyone knew the Four Symbols Formation of the Ye Four Elders could only contain Wang Cai for a short period.
He could break free from beneath the earth at any moment.
This was their only chance to escape!
Thus, everyone hurriedly followed the Ye Four Elders’ lead and fled to the distance…
“Boss, let me help you!”
Seeing Ye Tian severely wounded, Ding Da rushed to his side, offering support.
Ye Tian felt unwilling, but could not deny Wang Cai’s overwhelming strength; he was no match for him at present.
And Wang Cai had only used 60% of his full power.
If the man unleashed his full strength, it was unimaginable how terrifying he would be…
Ultimately, Ye Tian could only escape under Ding Da’s support!
A group of martial artists fled for dozens of miles before finally stopping!
Ye Zhihuan addressed everyone, “Folks, our Ye family’s Four Symbols Formation can only trap monsters like Wang Cai for about thirty minutes at most.
It’s likely the time is already up, and that guy has broken free and is searching for us!
If we continue to stay together, we could all be wiped out in one attack.
It’s better to scatter and flee!”
Hearing Ye Zhihuan’s words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Rather than risk everyone being slaughtered by Wang Cai, scattering to escape was the better option.
This way, even if some died by his hand, others could survive to avenge their fallen comrades!
Li Hui quickly announced, “In that case, I will immediately inform the external disciples of Heaven Gate, exposing their sect leader’s plot to pit us against one another.
Then, I’ll rally these disciples to demand justice from Heaven Gate!”
Zhao Sixi and Duan Feng chimed in swiftly!
“I’ll join Li Hui.
This isn’t just one person’s matter—it concerns all Heaven Gate external disciples.
Acting sooner will save more lives!”
“You’re absolutely right!
Look at that Dragon Young Master and Wang Cai.
The sect leader of Heaven Gate chooses to associate with such people.
This sect harbors no goodwill and deserves annihilation!”
Other Heaven Gate external disciples resonated with their statements, voicing their own opinions.
“Absolutely!
After barely escaping with our lives, this is our final break with Heaven Gate!
Next time we meet, we will storm Heaven Gate for the justice of all external disciples!”
“Indeed, rather than waiting to be killed, we might as well fight to the end.
Better to go down fighting than to live in fear!”
“This time, either Heaven Gate falls or we perish.
There’s no room for cowardice anymore!”
…..
The Ye Four Elders looked in astonishment at the passionate group of Heaven Gate external disciples.
Though their faces turned pale, they remained silent.
Ye Tian, smiling softly, declared, “Since that’s the plan, let’s agree to meet again.
When that time comes, I hope everyone gathers at the foot of Tianshan Mountain without a single person missing!”
As the external disciples had already grown accustomed to following Ye Tian’s lead, his words gave them enormous encouragement!
“We will!
We’ll certainly return!”
“Ye Tian, next time, lead us to forge a future!”
“We’ll follow your command without question!”
…..
The crowd declared their loyalty to Ye Tian.
However, knowing the place was unsafe, they scattered immediately after showing their devotion.
Once everyone had left, Ye Tian, the Ye Four Elders, and the Ding brothers hurried off in another direction.
In the expansive terrain of the Tianshan mountain range, Ye Tian and his companions delved deep into the mountains.
Gone were the bustling cities.
All that remained were dense forests and a starry night sky.
Having journeyed so far, the group finally stopped to rest…
Out of everyone, Ye Tian was, of course, the most seriously injured!
Most of Ye Tian’s injuries were internal, and these were not easily healed.
Fortunately, Ye Tian had profound knowledge of medicine and was skilled in regulating his internal energy.
Thus, even with severe internal injuries, Ye Tian could recover in a remarkably short time!
Ye Tian sat quietly in meditative repose, harmonizing his internal energy as the Ding brothers and Ye Four Elders watched silently, not daring to disturb him.
After about an hour, Ye Tian opened his eyes.
Though the time was brief, his energy circulation had significantly improved, and he exhaled deeply.
“Ye Zhicang, I once thought that achieving the Innate Realm meant I could defeat anyone in the world.
But after facing Wang Cai, I’ve come to realize there are always greater mountains to climb and stronger people to overcome!
Wang Cai, who acts like a subordinate dog before that Dragon Young Master, is someone I cannot defeat.
Even the Life Weapon has lost its former brilliance!”
Saying this, Ye Tian glanced at the wooden knife in his hand.
The knife was scarred and discolored, devoid of any power.
No matter how much he called, the millennium ancient tree’s Shu Xin no longer responded…
Ye Tian felt profound despair.
Could this wooden knife truly be ruined?
Seeing Ye Tian’s frustration, Ye Zhicang said, “Ye Tian, reaching the Innate Realm doesn’t make you invincible.
There are plenty of stronger opponents out there.
We didn’t expect you would provoke someone so formidable!”
Ye Zhihuan added curiously, “Indeed.
Earlier, the martial artists mentioned you’d angered a Dragon Young Master.
Could it be the one warmly welcomed by the sect leader of Heaven Gate?”
Ding Da quickly nodded and explained the series of events to the Ye Four Elders.
“Yes, that Dragon Young Master!
That man, driven by his own whims, incited the Heaven Gate sect leader to gamble away the lives of all external disciples.
Our goal was to prevent the disciples from slaughtering each other!
Although we succeeded, that Dragon Young Master appeared.
His own strength is lacking, but his bodyguard, Wang Cai—whose name sounds like a dog—is grotesquely powerful!
If it weren’t for your Four Symbols Formation, all of us would have perished at that monster’s hands!”
“My heavens!
You really crossed paths with that young master!”
Ye Zhiran exclaimed in shock!
“Even if you oppose all of Heaven Gate, you must avoid provoking that young master.
His lineage overshadows the entirety of Heaven Gate, yet you’ve managed to offend him.
No wonder that guy was so formidable—he’s merely a bodyguard for the Dragon Young Master!”
Ye Zhirong sighed deeply and said, “This is troublesome.
No matter how much we plead or apologize, I doubt it will make a difference this time!”
The Ye Four Elders were cautious in nature and already hesitant in antagonizing Heaven Gate.
Facing the Dragon Young Master—whose power dwarfed Heaven Gate—they were even more apprehensive…
Their attitude made the Ding brothers indignant!
“The situation has already escalated.
What good will it do to try and make amends?
With that Dragon Young Master’s disposition, even begging for mercy won’t help.
If he’s set his sights on us, there’s little chance of escape for anyone.”
“Exactly!
Rather than resigning ourselves to death, why not fight until the bitter end?
Even if my strength is inadequate, I refuse to cower before the likes of him!”
“Ye Four Elders, you have power, yet you act so timidly.
Is this how true martial artists should conduct themselves?”
Although the Ding brothers couldn’t rival the Ye Four Elders in strength, their boldness and spirit overshadowed them.
The Ye Four Elders had no response…
Seeing the unwavering resolve of the Ding brothers—who had only cultivated an incomplete Wind Flow Strength—the Ye Four Elders, who practiced the higher-level Sun Drop technique, could hardly afford to lag behind.
