704: Chapter 700: The Strength of Sima Feng 704: Chapter 700: The Strength of Sima Feng “What’s gotten into this guy?”
Sima Feng’s rage was beyond Ye Tian’s understanding, so he quietly asked Ye Zhirong beside him.
But Ye Zhirong just smiled slightly and said, “It’s not for me to say!
It’s not for me to say!”
“…”
Ye Tian fell silent.
However, although Ye Zhirong did not give a straight answer, Ye Tian could still guess something from it.
It was him who had killed James, and when he killed him, he didn’t even use the power of the Life Weapon!
At that time, in his battle with Ye Tian, James’s strength was even inferior to that of the Rakshasa Queen’s; the force of nature he absorbed was limited, making him no match for Ye Tian.
Compared to James, the current Sima Feng was much more formidable, with robust strength and the force of nature he wielded was even incredibly pure, utterly unimaginable!
Therefore, there must be some hidden secret for Sima Feng to be in league with a weakling like James.
No wonder Ye Zhirong said “It’s not for me to say”!
Seeing Ye Tian and Ye Zhirong mocking him, Sima Feng could no longer contain his fury!
“Heh heh heh~~~~~ The dying dare to whisper secrets here, today I will let you witness the true strength of Sima Feng!”
As he spoke, Sima Feng began to play his jade flute.
“Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo~~~~~~~~”
The melody was fast and slow, irregular in pitch, rapidly changing, almost identical to the flute sounds when Sima Feng controlled his puppets.
As Sima Feng played the jade flute, a gust of wind rose, and the forest was swiftly filled with the sound of whistling wind.
Giant trees were uprooted and became victims to the raging wind, which gradually started to spin around the eye of the storm centered on Sima Feng’s location, forming a tornado.
The tornado was ferocious.
Not only the trees and dust within the forest, but even mighty warriors such as Ye Tian and Ye Zhirong struggled to maintain their stance, relying solely on the Thousand Catties Drop technique just to stand firm.
The birds and beasts of the forest, sensing danger, fled in all directions, but some unlucky ones were sucked into the tornado and could no longer escape.
The tornado was like a meat grinder, with everything that entered it, be it trees, flowers, birds, or insects, all turning into dust.
In an instant, the breath of the tornado was tinged with the smell of blood…
Ye Tian looked in amazement at everything before him.
This enemy was the most formidable martial artist he had encountered, wielding the force of nature to an indescribable extent.
No wonder he was so high and mighty, no wonder even a strong person like Ye Zhirong was somewhat wary of him.
This was Sima Feng, who had been cultivating the Wind Flow Strength technique since his youth and could now unleash the force of the wind from nature to its extremes!
Faced with such an opponent, Ye Tian naturally did not dare to be careless.
Ye Tian circulated the cultivation technique of the Xuan Yun Gong within his body and, in an instant, power from nature continuously poured into him.
Around Ye Tian, a surge of clouds arose, transforming into a mist that enveloped his body.
As the mist dispersed, Ye Tian clenched his fists tightly, now in his optimal state.
At Ye Tian’s side, Ye Zhirong also pushed his power to the limit!
Radiant light surrounded Ye Zhirong, but suddenly his body was engulfed by darkness, leaving Ye Tian startled and puzzled.
What was this?
Could this be the state Ye Zhirong reached after exerting his full strength?
Just now, when he battled against him, Ye Zhirong had clearly held back.
Now, Ye Zhirong was in his strongest attack state!
As the darkness slowly faded, Ye Tian once again saw Ye Zhirong, now bursting with energy, and the strength within him was even greater than Ye Tian’s!
“Woo woo woo~~~~~~~”
The sound of the flute gradually weakened, and the tornado near Sima Feng also slowly disappeared.
This naturally was because Sima Feng had absorbed all the wind’s force into his body.
In front of Ye Tian and Ye Zhirong, although Sima Feng did not seem to change much in appearance, inside his body, a peculiar sound resonated clearly.
Ye Tian listened intently and utilized his clairvoyant ability to inspect Sima Feng’s body, finding the force of the wind had actually integrated into his meridians, roaring vigorously.
This was the first time Ye Tian had seen such a powerful force of nature.
It wasn’t just the power that was absorbed but even the manifestation of the wind itself into the body!
Ye Zhirong exclaimed with admiration, “It is said that Sima Feng, the second in command of the Sima Family, can not only absorb power from the wind but even absorb ‘the wind’ itself!
Seeing it today, it truly is extraordinary!”
In response to Ye Zhirong’s praise, Sima Feng gave a faint smile and said, “The feeling is mutual!
Ye Zhirong, the ‘Sun Drops’ you practice can absorb light energy and even fully absorb ‘light’ from the surroundings, plunging it into darkness temporarily, just like a black hole!”
It seemed that Ye Zhirong and Sima Feng were fully aware of each other’s capabilities, thus they were familiar with each other’s inner strength techniques.
Sima Feng took out his jade flute again, twirling it leisurely in his hand, and cast a scornful look at Ye Tian, saying, “Ye Zhirong, actually, I do not wish to offend the Ye family, but for the millennia-old plan of the Sima Family, I must act this way!
I’ll give you one more chance if you return the Ice Heart Awl to me and honestly disclose the location of the Spirit Vein, I will spare your life.
How about it?”
Ye Zhirong responded with a sneer, “Sima Feng, stop daydreaming.
I will not give you the Ice Heart Awl, and as for the location of the Spirit Vein, you can search for it slowly on your own!”
“You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeiture!
Ye Zhirong, I want to see how you, all alone, are going to compete with me!”
Sima Feng clenched his teeth angrily and then, with a tap of his tiptoe, his body actually disappeared!
“Such incredible speed!”
Ye Tian exclaimed, having never seen such rapid movement before.
Even he could only see a black shadow charging straight towards Ye Zhirong.
“Snap!”
In the blink of an eye, Sima Feng and Ye Zhirong had already clashed.
In Sima Feng’s hand, the jade flute stabbed towards Ye Zhirong’s chest like a needle.
Ye Zhirong, not daring to be negligent, caught the jade flute between two fingers.
But then Sima Feng infused his Inner Strength into the jade flute and pushed fiercely, intending to drive the flute even further.
Ye Zhirong put all his effort into defending, not allowing the jade flute to penetrate even half an inch into his body!
“Die!”
Sima Feng shouted loudly, stomping his foot with all his might, putting forth tremendous power, and Ye Zhirong’s body was actually lifted by him.
Sima Feng carried the body of Ye Zhirong, who was tightly clamping the jade flute, and crashed towards the back.
“Crash!
Crash!”
Within the jungle, a large swath of trees was brought down by Ye Zhirong’s body, but Sima Feng did not stop, continuing to push forward.
Wherever the two passed, vegetation ceased to grow, creating a path through the jungle, and at last, Ye Zhirong’s body harshly crashed into the rock face of a small mountain behind him!
“Boom!”
A loud noise erupted as a hollow was smashed into the rock face; only then did Sima Feng stop.
“You bastard…”
Ye Zhirong bit back his anger.
Although he had blocked the flute’s attack, he was helpless against Sima Feng’s powerful Inner Strength.
He could fend off the first move but not the subsequent ones.
His body crashed into the rock face, damaging his viscera, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth…
“Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish~~~~~~~~~~~”
Under Sima Feng’s strike, which left Ye Zhirong unable to resist, Ye Tian naturally wouldn’t just sit and wait for his demise.
He drew the wooden sword from his hand and struck Sima Feng.
Ye Tian employed his most proficient “Overspeed Blade,” powerful and swift, immediately stirring up a sound like the cries of wind and cranes around him.
The dense barrage of blade shadows entirely covered Sima Feng’s head, leaving him no room to dodge…
However, faced with Ye Tian’s ferocious strike, Sima Feng did not budge but let out a cold laugh.
“So, you too possess a Life Weapon!
But compared to my jade flute, it’s not even on the same level!”
With that, Sima Feng swung the jade flute in his hand, not even moving a step, and met Ye Tian’s wooden sword head-on.
Ye Tian’s technique gained its strength from extreme speed, making it unavoidable for the opponent.
Neither the Rakshasa Queen nor Tian Shisan could contest it head-on, but surprisingly, Sima Feng’s feet remained unmoved, and he matched Ye Tian’s “Overspeed Blade” evenly.
This guy’s speed was actually fast to such an extent!
“Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang~~~~~~~~~~~”
The wooden sword collided with the jade flute, emitting a clear sound.
Ye Tian’s “Overspeed Blade” was completely countered by Sima Feng, and he didn’t gain the slightest advantage…
“How could an inferior Life Weapon compare to the jade flute in my hand?”
Sima Feng sneered and then, with a vigorous wave of the jade flute, Ye Tian felt a strong force rushing towards him.
With no alternative, he had to raise the wooden sword in his hand to defend.
But the force was so powerful that even Ye Tian couldn’t fully defend against it.
He felt that he had blocked about half of it, while the other half turned into countless smaller forces that enveloped him.
“Swish swish swish swish swish swish~~~~~~~~”
It was as if Ye Tian’s body was being sliced by numerous tiny knives, and in a short time, his clothes were torn to shreds, and his skin was marked with streaks of blood!
“Hahaha~~~~~~~ King of the Night, I will extinguish you first!
Then I’ll have fun with Ye Zhirong!”
Sima Feng laughed heartily and suddenly pounced in front of Ye Tian.
“Boy!
Run away quickly!”
Inside Ye Tian, a voice all of a sudden emerged.
The elderly voice was emanating from the millennium ancient tree’s Shu Xin…
Typically, Shu Xin would not communicate with him, but it spoke only at moments of crisis.
It seemed that Ye Tian was indeed at the pivotal moment of life and death…
