716: Chapter 712 Weakness?
“…”
The words of Sima Feng not only chilled Ye Tian, but all the other Martial Artists present felt a chill down their spines as well.
As Martial Artists, their greatest fear was not death, but living a life worse than death or dying a grotesque death!
Being controlled by Sima Feng, turning against one’s own friends, and ending up neither alive nor dead was undoubtedly the most undignified way to die…
The Martial Artists all gritted their teeth in anger, wanting to resist, but they were powerless because even Ye Tian couldn’t handle the opponent before them, let alone the others!
“Sima Feng, don’t be so smug!
Although you’ve been famous for a long time, I have already learned the methods of cultivation, and I believe it won’t be long before I can defeat you!
Not just you, but the entire Sima Family, I will uproot you all!”
Ye Tian firmly declared, but these words, when they reached Sima Feng’s ears, only led to a burst of crazy laughter from him.
“Hahahahaha~~~~~~~ King of the Night, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say whatever you want!
You say you can defeat me and the Sima Family, what are you worth?
I could kill you with just one finger!
If it weren’t for the Sima Family’s millennium plan that prevents me from being distracted, I would have already razed your Night King Hall to the ground, where would you get the chance to be so arrogant?”
Sima Feng’s arrogance knew no bounds, causing all the Martial Artists present to break out in cold sweat.
With this guy’s strength, the Night King Hall could truly become a sacrifice in his hands.
At this moment, all the Martial Artists began to blame themselves for their lack of strength.
If only their strength could be further enhanced, how could they fear the power of Sima Feng and the Sima Family?
“Arrogant or not, let’s just see!”
Ye Tian rubbed his hands eagerly.
Although he had been injured in the battle with Sima Feng, due to Ye Tian’s robust physique and profound medical knowledge, he had managed to recover shortly after being injured.
At this moment, Ye Tian was already able to exert ninety percent of his combat power!
“King of the Night, I don’t believe you can stand head-to-head against this puppet!”
Sima Feng haughtily said, obviously not taking the present Ye Tian seriously.
After being controlled by him, Ye Xuong had also mastered the cultivation technique of Xuan Yun, and his strength had improved drastically.
The transformation into a puppet had multiplied Ye Xuong’s combat power.
Therefore, the current Ye Xuong was simply not someone Ye Tian could withstand.
In the roar of Sima Feng, Ye Xuong had already swung his fist, heavily smashing towards Ye Tian’s forehead.
The punch was like a cannonball, and on the fist, the power of Xuan Yun cultivation technique was clearly swirling.
Ye Tian, of course, dared not treat it lightly.
He slapped out his palm to block Ye Xuong’s fist.
But before the fist and palm collided, Ye Tian suddenly withdrew his palm, causing Ye Xuong’s heavy punch to miss.
Ye Tian turned his body and swiftly moved behind Ye Xuong, then slapped his back.
Ye Xuong was unable to retract his move in time, and coupled with Ye Tian’s forceful palm, he almost fell face-first.
He desperately stabilized his stance, preventing an embarrassing fall.
“Big Brother is mighty!”
“Big Brother, you are truly amazing, just one move, and you made Ye Xuong suffer!”
“Big Brother is unbeatable in the world!”
…
Seeing Ye Tian succeed with a strike, the group of Martial Artists immediately started cheering.
It was natural for them to do so.
So many people had attacked Ye Xuong together without any advantage, yet with just one move, Ye Tian had almost knocked Ye Xuong over.
With such strength, perhaps he really could defeat Ye Xuong!
“…”
Facing the praise of the crowd, there was not a single expression on Ye Tian’s face.
Ye Tian was very clear in his heart that once a Martial Artist was controlled by Sima Feng, their strength was naturally doubled.
However, the techniques of the Martial Artist could not be improved!
Take Ye Xuong, for example.
His strength had become incomparably formidable, but his attack patterns and techniques were still bland and far inferior to the martial arts Ye Tian mastered.
Thus, Ye Tian could precisely spot the flaws in Ye Xuong’s moves and counter them!
Of course, although he succeeded with one strike, Ye Tian did not dare to be careless, because the current Ye Xuong had turned into a puppet, and his own attacks were barely affecting him.
“Not bad, King of the Night!
But, just relying on some tricks, you dream of defeating my puppet, I’m afraid you don’t have the capability!”
From within Ye Xuong’s body, Sima Feng’s voice came once again.
Following that, Ye Xuong, like a mad dog, pounced towards Ye Tian!
With incredible speed, Ye Tian simply had no way to dodge, and faced with such pressure, even with his skillful techniques, he could not perform them.
“Bang!”
Ye Xuong suddenly collided, sending Ye Tian’s body flying three to five meters away.
Ye Tian stabilized his body, preventing himself from being knocked down.
For a Martial Artist, after executing a move, they often need a moment to gather strength for the next attack, but for the current Ye Xuong, this was not the case at all!
Ye Xuong once again charged fiercely at Ye Tian, giving him absolutely no chance to catch his breath…
Ye Tian circulated the “Mysterious Cloud Cultivation Technique” within his body, pushed his hands forward, and with a booming “Boom!” he managed to counterattack with the force of a thousand jun.
Ye Xuong and Ye Tian began to compete in strength, both locked in a stalemate, hard to distinguish the superior.
All the martial artists watching couldn’t help but sweat for Ye Tian…
Just now, everyone had engaged with Ye Xuong, whose strength was incredibly robust.
More importantly, Ye Xuong’s stamina was formidable.
Compared to the other martial artists, he was simply on a different level.
Thus, although Ye Tian seemed able to contend with Ye Xuong, it was possible that he would lose the battle soon…
“Brother, should we go up and lend the boss a hand?”
“Yeah!
Brother, if something bad happens to the boss, our Night King Hall is finished!”
Ding Er and Ding San approached Ding Da, cautiously asking.
However, Ding Da shook his head and said, “Our strength is far inferior to the boss’s; even if we rashly step in to help, it won’t do any good.
The best plan for now is to just watch and see how things unfold!”
Upon hearing this, Ding Er and Ding San could only abandon the idea of going up to help…
The other martial artists of Night King Hall could only silently watch as Ye Tian and Ye Xuong fought, their displayed skills were simply not something others could match.
Thus, stepping in to help Ye Tian would only be a hindrance.
“Snap!”
Before long, Ye Tian and Ye Xuong separated, and the contest of Inner Strength between them finally concluded.
Ye Tian’s face was already covered in sweat, showing how much physical toll confronting Ye Xuong head-on had taken on him, and Ye Xuong was not at ease.
After being driven back by Ye Tian’s Inner Strength, he staggered almost falling down.
“King of the Night, your Inner Strength is incredibly powerful!”
From within Ye Xuong, Sima Feng’s voice emerged once more, indicating that Ye Tian’s power had exceeded Sima Feng’s expectations.
After all, it hadn’t even been a day since Sima Feng had fought Ye Tian.
How could Ye Tian’s Inner Strength have improved so drastically in such a short time?
Of course, even if Ye Tian’s Inner Strength had greatly increased, Sima Feng wasn’t scared at all!
“But, King of the Night, don’t think you can defeat my puppet like this.
It’s impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Sima Feng roared, and as he bellowed, Ye Xuong charged towards Ye Tian with the speed of thunder.
Ye Xuong’s palms were like blades, slashing heavily down at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian, quick in reaction, swiftly sidestepped the sharp edge.
“Swish!”
Ye Xuong’s hand-chop made a crack in the lawn at the backyard, even breaking the stones, showing that his hand-chop was indeed as sharp as any divine weapon.
Ye Tian was also an experienced fighter.
In his experience, the technique of “Broken Sword” was versatile, and the hand-chop used by Ye Xuong followed the same principles as using a real sword.
Seeing another palm chop heading his way, Ye Tian suddenly leaped, leaping over Ye Xuong’s head.
With Ye Xuong’s strength, Ye Tian knew he couldn’t stay above his head for long, so he tapped with his toes and flipped down behind Ye Xuong.
Ye Xuong immediately turned around, his hand-chop coming at Ye Tian, whose palms circled and deflected Ye Xuong’s hand-chop outward.
The blade energy lost control and surged toward a big tree behind Ye Tian, instantly shredding it into wood chips.
While Ye Xuong’s move was not yet retracted, Ye Tian pushed Ye Xuong’s body to the side.
Ye Xuong nearly fell, busily stabilizing his posture.
At this moment, Ye Tian changed his move again, grabbed Ye Xuong’s palm with his right hand, while his left hand shot straight towards Ye Xuong’s face.
This palm strike was a feint.
Normally, Ye Xuong’s other hand would surely come to rescue, exposing vulnerable spots like his chest and abdomen to Ye Tian, giving Ye Tian free rein.
But facing Ye Tian’s heavy hand, Ye Xuong did not dodge or evade, and his other hand-chop slashed directly at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian was shocked.
His body was blocked by Ye Xuong’s arms.
If Ye Xuong hit him, his hand would be chopped off, and even if pushed to retract his hand, he would still end up disabled.
“Not good!”
It was only now that Ye Tian suddenly realized that Ye Xuong had become a puppet.
A puppet felt no pain; it only knew victory or defeat.
So, there was nothing wrong with it attacking in a self-harming way.
At this point, Ye Tian could only quickly change his move—the palm initially aimed at Ye Xuong’s forehead turned, meeting Ye Xuong’s hand-chop instead.
“Bang!”
Ye Xuong’s hand-chop was driven back by Ye Tian, but at this moment, Ye Tian had already lost the advantage.
Even though it appeared both men were evenly matched, due to Ye Tian’s rushed change of moves, he left himself with no defense whatsoever.
The wind brought by Ye Xuong’s hand-chop had lacerated Ye Tian’s wrist, leaving him covered with bloodstains.
If Ye Tian’s body hadn’t been so robust, that wrist might have long been cut off by Ye Xuong…
“Hahahahaha~~~~~~ King of the Night, I told you, you can’t defeat my puppet!”
