713: Chapter 709: Ye Xuong Goes Mad!
“Mr.
Ye, as far as I’m concerned, every martial artist in the Night King Hall is like family to me!
My family is suffering under the control of Sima Feng, and both I and the controlled martial artist are in agony!
If you know how to break Sima Feng’s Puppetry Technique, please tell me!”
Ye Tian spoke earnestly, which was rare for him to do.
In past encounters, Ye Tian had fought against puppets controlled by Sima Feng several times.
Although Ye Tian had defeated the puppets every time, each of these puppets was invariably left battered and destroyed by him!
Could it be that the only way to break Sima Feng’s Puppetry Technique was to kill the puppet?
If it were anybody else, Ye Tian might have been able to do it, but Ye Xuong was the second-in-command in the Night King Hall, Ye Tian’s right-hand man.
Ye Tian trusted him immensely, and Ye Xuong himself greatly revered Ye Tian.
How could Ye Tian possibly bring himself to do such a thing to someone like that?
“Boy, you really are a man of deep loyalty and sincerity!”
Moved by Ye Tian’s sincerity, Ye Zhirong couldn’t help but sigh, and then he revealed all that he knew.
“In fact, given Sima Feng’s formidable power, breaking his Puppetry Technique is almost impossible!
However, according to the principles of using the force of nature, there are still two methods that can break the Puppetry Technique!”
“Really?”
Ye Tian was overjoyed upon hearing Ye Zhirong’s words.
Doesn’t this mean that Ye Xuong could be saved?
“Mr.
Ye, please tell me quickly, how can Sima Feng’s Puppetry Technique be neutralized, and how can Ye Xuong be rescued?”
Seeing how anxious Ye Tian was, Ye Zhirong paused for a moment before saying, “The first method is to kill Sima Feng!
The use of the force of nature relies on the actions of the user.
‘Puppetry Technique’ is also a method within the use of the force of nature.
Therefore, as long as Sima Feng dies, his ‘Puppetry Technique’ will become ineffective, and those controlled by ‘Puppetry Technique’ can naturally be rescued.”
“Hmm, that’s true!”
Ye Tian nodded.
Although he didn’t know how Sima Feng’s Puppetry Technique was cultivated, killing Sima Feng would naturally turn his Puppetry Technique into a rootless tree, unable to survive.
“However, boy, with your current strength, you would probably be no match for Sima Feng!
In fact, his power is so formidable that even if you and I joined forces against him, we could only turn and flee, so, don’t even think about killing Sima Feng—it’s impossible!”
Ye Zhirong said gravely, undoubtedly throwing cold water on Ye Tian’s hopes.
But Ye Tian didn’t see it that way!
“Mr.
Ye, Sima Feng has been cultivating the force of nature since he was young, whereas I started halfway through.
I began to cultivate Xuan Yun Gong just a few days ago!
Thus, if I continue to practice diligently, I believe I will soon be able to defeat Sima Feng!”
Ye Tian’s words carried a tone of finality.
Ye Zhirong couldn’t help but look at him with admiration.
“Hehehe~~~~~ you speak the truth!”
Ye Zhirong nodded, his expectations of Ye Tian were quite high.
“Boy, I must admit, you have great potential.
If it weren’t so, I wouldn’t have revealed the basics of using the force of nature during our fight with Sima Feng, and you have not let me down.
In just a short time, you were able to grasp the essence of the principles and merge them completely, even giving Sima Feng a hard time!
So, when you say you can defeat Sima Feng, it might not be impossible.
Although it may take some time, as long as you are willing to put in the hard work, perhaps one day, you could surpass Sima Feng!”
Ye Zhirong praised Ye Tian, but Ye Tian was not satisfied.
“Mr.
Ye, didn’t you just say there were two methods to neutralize Sima Feng’s Puppetry Technique?
What is the other method?”
Although Ye Tian also believed that he could eventually defeat Sima Feng over time.
But if it took too long, Ye Xuong wouldn’t be able to wait!
Therefore, Ye Tian wanted to know the other method to neutralize the Puppetry Technique from Ye Zhirong’s mouth!
However, Ye Zhirong sighed and said, “Boy, the second method for neutralizing the Puppetry Technique is similar to the first, so asking is as good as not asking!”
“What do you mean by asking is as good as not asking?”
Confused, Ye Tian listened as Ye Zhirong explained, “The second method is to use your own power to suppress Sima Feng’s power!
But, boy, if your power really has surpassed that of Sima Feng, couldn’t you just kill him?”
“…”
Ye Zhirong’s words left Ye Tian in a bout of silence.
Indeed, to kill Sima Feng, one must surpass him in power, but given that neither he nor Ye Zhirong were able to defeat Sima Feng, how difficult would this be?
In Ye Tian’s mind, the scene where he fought the puppet-transformed Deng Xi flashed!
At that time, he was once overwhelmed by Deng Xi and nearly died at the hands of this puppet!
Luckily, he suddenly grasped the essence of Xuan Yun Gong, which enhanced his power, and he eventually managed to defeat the puppet-transformed Deng Xi…
now thinking about it, when he defeated Deng Xi, he hadn’t chopped him into mincemeat but had infused his power into Deng Xi’s body.
The power inside Deng Xi then ceased resisting, eventually stopping its attacks and decaying into a heap of rot.
Could it be that this was his own power suppressing Sima Feng’s power?
“So that’s how it is!”
Ye Tian finally figured it out and couldn’t help but nod.
During his fight, the power possessed by the puppetized Deng Xi came from Sima Feng, and this power was suppressed by his own Xuan Yun Technique, which is why he could defeat Deng Xi!
If he imitated this approach, perhaps he could succeed!
“Thank you, Mr.
Ye, I will think of a way!”
Ye Tian thanked Ye Zhirong for providing the answer, spoke, and then prepared to leave the room.
Ye Zhirong stopped Ye Tian and said, “Boy, what plan are you thinking of now?
Do you realize how urgent the situation is?
Why aren’t you meditating to cultivate your power right away?”
Since Ye Zhirong had said so, Ye Tian naturally couldn’t argue…
But at that moment, where was Ye Tian in the mood to cultivate?
“But, Mr.
Ye, I need to save my brothers.
Cultivation can wait until I’ve rescued my brothers!”
Ye Zhirong shook his head and said, “Kid, you are intelligent.
It would be such a pity if you died just like this!
Right now the Sima Family is eyeing you covetously.
If your strength isn’t sufficient, all your men will become spirits in the hands of the Sima Family!
In comparison, that person controlled by Sima Feng might as well be sacrificed.
It might be better to kill him, to at least cut off Sima Feng’s link!”
“How could my brothers possibly be sacrificial pieces?”
Although he greatly respected the elder Ye Zhirong, Ye Tian could not agree with what he said.
“Mr.
Ye, the Night King Hall is not an army; there’s no such thing as sacrificing pieces to save the king.
All martial artists are like family to me.
How could I possibly sacrifice my own family for my safety?”
Ye Tian said emphatically, with an attitude firm and beyond dispute.
Regarding this, Ye Zhirong could only sigh helplessly…
“Sigh…
This will indeed require more effort now!”
Ye Zhirong glanced at Ye Tian and said no more.
As he was nearing the end of his life, there wasn’t much room for improvement, so being able to hold his own against Sima Feng was already commendable.
But Ye Tian was different.
He had great potential, learned quickly, and his body had fused various forces.
Mixing these forces together would definitely enable him to make significant progress and perhaps even defeat an enemy as strong as Sima Feng.
Unfortunately, Ye Tian was letting his emotions guide him.
For Ye Zhirong, in the world of martial artists, only the strength of power mattered, adhering to the law of the survival of the fittest – where was there any room for brotherly affection?
“Mr.
Ye, your injuries have not fully healed yet.
Please focus on recovering here!
I will handle my brother’s affairs myself; you need not worry!”
Seeing that Ye Zhirong remained silent, Ye Tian bid him farewell and left…
The moment he stepped out of the bedroom, the Vampire immediately came forward to report!
“Boss!
There’s trouble!
Ye Xuong is in trouble!”
Dracula looked panic-stricken, and from his words, Ye Tian could clearly sense the severity of the situation!
“Dracula, don’t panic, speak slowly!
What exactly happened to Ye Xuong?”
Ye Tian hurriedly asked, and Dracula naturally didn’t dare to conceal anything!
“In the backyard, Ye Xuong suddenly went berserk, and now no one can handle him, Boss, please go take a look!”
“Went berserk?”
Ye Tian’s face tightened immediately!
It seemed that the very thing he feared the most had finally happened – he had thought there would be more time; he hadn’t expected it to be so soon!
“Take me to see it!”
Ye Tian said urgently, and Dracula led him to the back garden of the manor.
“Bang bang bang bang bang bang~~~~~~”
Before even stepping into the backyard lawn, the sound of fists and kicks colliding could be heard, and Ye Tian focused his gaze to see the three Ding brothers teaming up against Ye Xuong!
The Ding brothers had previously told Ye Tian that to test Ye Xuong’s cultivation, they had once attacked Ye Xuong together, but that was just a touch-and-go.
The Ding brothers would not seriously hurt Ye Xuong.
But this time it was different.
The moves used by the Ding brothers were all from their fight against Zhang Bo; the brothers arrayed themselves in a formation before Ye Xuong, trapping him firmly in the center.
Ding Da was the strongest and attacked Ye Xuong head-on, clashing repeatedly; while Ding Er and Ding San, being slightly weaker, attacked from the sides, looking for Ye Xuong’s vulnerabilities from his flanks.
