720: Chapter 716: The Last Resort!
All the martial artists shared their Inner Strength with each other, but their self-protection was far from sufficient.
Therefore, with the Inner Strength of a powerful adversary like Sima Feng, as long as he could strike, all these defenseless martial artists would have no choice but to be slaughtered willingly!
However, none of the martial artists from the Night King Hall showed any cowardice, despite being aware of the severity of the situation, they still charged ahead without any regrets!
Ye Tian could clearly feel the strength from the martial artists of the Night King Hall flowing into him without reservation, so he didn’t dare to dally either.
He gathered all the strength together in an attempt to destroy the “qi cyclone” within Ye Xuong!
But where in the world could such an advantage come about so easily?
Could Sima Feng, such a powerful figure, allow himself to lose control over the puppetry?
“Stop struggling!
King of the Night, Ye Zhirong, and all the rest of you, today is the day you die!”
Sima Feng roared, and then, within Ye Xuong’s body, a powerful force too immense for words to describe erupted—it was so strong that everyone could clearly hear the sound of wind from inside Ye Xuong’s body!
This force was none other than Sima Feng’s strength!
As a Puppet Master, Sima Feng certainly wouldn’t tolerate Ye Tian and the fellow martial artists joining forces to dissolve the cyclone he planted within Ye Xuong…
“Bang!”
The force inside Ye Xuong’s body immediately caused a violent rebound, which surged directly towards all the martial artists present.
Ye Tian was the closest to Ye Xuong, so he suffered the most damage from this backlash.
He felt his insides churning, and even with Copper Skin and Iron Bones, it was unbearable.
Blood spilled out from Ye Tian’s mouth once more…
The others behind him didn’t fare much better!
Ye Zhirong had already been injured, and after receiving the rebound of Sima Feng’s power, his hands trembled uncontrollably, clearly too weakened to hold on.
The other martial artists, though their wounds were not as severe, still suffered internal injuries due to the lack of defenses.
For all the martial artists of the Night King Hall, it was a moment of life and death.
They had become as one—if one was honored, all would be honored, if one suffered, all would suffer.
There was no second path to choose!
“Kid, can you still hold on?”
Ye Zhirong asked Ye Tian with concern.
Ye Tian was the leader of the group, and whether or not Sima Feng’s Puppetry Technique could be dissolved depended entirely on him.
At this moment, Ye Tian had sustained no small amount of injury all over his body.
It was already extremely difficult for him to remain conscious, let alone dissolve Sima Feng’s Puppetry Technique.
Therefore, Ye Zhirong was also somewhat worried.
He feared that Ye Tian couldn’t hold on any longer, which would spell doom not just for Ye Tian himself, but for him and all the other martial artists as well!
“I’m fine!
I can still hold on!”
Ye Tian forced a smile and continued to gather everyone’s strength together, to confront the qi cyclone inside Ye Xuong.
From inside Ye Xuong’s body, Sima Feng’s arrogant laughter burst forth once again!
“King of the Night, the power just now didn’t kill you?
But now, you’re only left with half a life, what do you have to fight me with?”
Although Ye Tian had gradually fused all the strength together, compared to the cyclone within Ye Xuong’s body, it still seemed somewhat insufficient.
Under the urging of Sima Feng’s Inner Strength, the cyclone grew stronger and fiercer, forming a dense wall of qi within Ye Xuong’s body.
Ye Tian did everything he could but was unable to break through the wall of qi!
“Hahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~ Stop wasting your effort!
With your measly capabilities, you think to dissolve my Puppetry Technique?
Stop joking!
Ants will be ants, dreaming of contending with the Sima Family, simply delusional!”
Sima Feng continued to howl.
Despite Ye Tian gathering the power of everyone, it was still not as formidable as Sima Feng’s strength, the difference between the two was starkly clear!
Ye Tian simply closed his eyes, pondering carefully…
All the martial artists from the Night King Hall were exceptional, their strength might not all be considered powerful, but they surely weren’t weak.
Gathering so many martial artists yet still being unable to contend with Sima Feng’s power was not due to inadequate strength, but because Ye Tian himself hadn’t managed to converge all the strength as one!
It is like throwing a punch—if the force is scattered, no matter how strong the person is, they cannot hurt the opponent; however, if the force is concentrated, even a person with less strength can strike and cause injury.
At this moment, Ye Tian was still an outsider when it came to gathering various forces.
He couldn’t twist all the strength into a single rope, hence he couldn’t contend with Sima Feng’s power!
“If I’m not successful, I’ll die trying!
I must bring all the strength together!”
Ye Tian echoed his previous sensations of gathering strength, quietly sensing, quietly amassing the power.
He didn’t need to worry about the power dissipating, because everyone behind him were his companions!
Companions would not abandon him, so even if it took everything they had, they would continue to pour their Inner Strength into him ceaselessly!
Finally, Ye Tian grasped some techniques.
The power pooled within him grew stronger; he used that power to fiercely slam against the qi cyclone inside Ye Xuong!
“Boom!”
A loud crash erupted from inside Ye Xuong’s body, as the two forces collided, the qi cyclone within shrunk a bit.
Ye Tian saw hope once again!
“As long as I can keep going, I’ll be able to successfully counteract the Puppetry Technique and rescue Ye Xuong!”
But at this moment, Sima Feng was clearly infuriated by Ye Tian’s actions, his voice now brimming with uncontainable rage.
“Bastard!
Bastard!
Bastard!
King of the Night, and all your wretched underlings!
How dare you think you can contend with my Puppetry Technique!
Stop joking!
Stop joking!”
As Sima Feng spoke, the whirlwind of energy within Ye Xuong continued to expand.
Ye Tian distinctly felt Sima Feng’s power!
When he and Ye Zhirong had fought against Sima Feng together, Sima Feng had used such power, which was indeed the force unleashed after he had turned himself into a puppet…
This power was devastating, tearing the heavens asunder.
Ye Tian and Ye Zhirong had united their efforts, yet they could not defeat Sima Feng, which showed the power to be unimaginably formidable!
“Pfft!”
Sima Feng exerted his full strength, and Ye Tian simply had no power to defend himself; he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed directly onto Ye Xuong.
Yet even so, Ye Tian suppressed Sima Feng’s power within his own body, preventing it from harming his comrades behind him.
All those who watched Ye Tian’s actions were deeply moved…
To have such a leader in Night King Hall was truly a tremendous blessing for the martial artists!
“Kid, give it up!
Keep this up, and you’ll die!”
Ye Zhirong urged him, having already done his utmost.
By this measure, Ye Xuong could not blame anyone.
As for the other martial artists of Night King Hall, they could hardly find fault.
Ye Tian was willing to sacrifice his life to rescue Ye Xuong, and his attitude was enough to touch everyone’s heart.
“No!
I won’t give up just like that!”
Ye Tian said fiercely.
Although Sima Feng’s power was overwhelmingly strong, he would not retreat so easily; he was determined to neutralize the Puppetry Technique inside Ye Xuong!
“Boss!
We won’t give up either!”
“That’s right!
Might as well die together!
Better than going on the road alone!”
“For Ye Xuong!
For Night King Hall!
Let’s fight with all we’ve got!”
…
It wasn’t just Ye Tian who was unwilling to give up; all the martial artists behind him stood united as one.
No one considered their personal safety and ceased channeling their Inner Strength forward; everyone was firmly bound to the chariot of Night King Hall’s struggle!
They did not seek to be born on the same day, in the same month, in the same year; they only hoped to die together on the same day, in the same month!
“…”
Although Ye Zhirong was not a martial artist of Night King Hall, he too was deeply moved by these martial artists.
Having lived for so many years, it was the first time he had been moved by ordinary martial artists.
Ye Zhirong also sighed and said, “Well then!
I shall throw caution to the wind as well!”
Saying this, Ye Zhirong clenched his teeth and continued to pour all the strength of his Inner Strength into Ye Tian’s body, holding nothing back…
The other martial artists did the same, long having abandoned all other concerns…
And Ye Tian, he too felt the power of everyone.
Although it was mixed and impure, if it all came together, it might be able to rival Sima Feng’s power!
Ye Tian carefully gathered all the forces within his body, concentrating them in the Dantian, the source of all strength, as vast as the starry sky for the martial artists.
“Merge, merge, merge…”
Ye Tian chanted in his heart.
He tried to keep himself undisturbed by anyone, emptying his thoughts and allowing all the power to settle.
All the power settled in Ye Tian’s Dantian, and he did not interfere with these forces but quietly perceived them.
The power of the martial artists of Night King Hall, the power of Ye Zhirong, the power within himself.
Without external forces, the power aimlessly spread, gathered, dissolved, and collided…
Undoubtedly, “gathering” was the dominant movement!
The sea accepts all rivers, greatness lies in capacity!
In the midst of it all, Ye Tian finally sensed the critical link.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and in an instant, he brought all the power in his Dantian together!
The gathered power was immensely strong.
Ye Tian immediately channeled this force into Ye Xuong’s body!
“Boom!”
A loud sound resounded, and the force that had gathered clashed head on with the whirlwind in Ye Xuong’s body, matching it blow for blow!
The Puppet Master Sima Feng also sensed the vigorous power coming from Ye Tian and the other martial artists, but he did not allow such power to exist!
