615: Chapter 611: Plan in the Long Run 615: Chapter 611: Plan in the Long Run “It’s a xiao!”
Ye Tian declared resolutely.
Among all present, only his vocal music skills were the highest, so he was able to identify the type of the instrument first.
However, with Ye Tian’s knowledge, he couldn’t identify which song the xiao was playing.
The piece was bizarre, seemingly melodious and uplifting yet also like an overwhelming force, merging the calm and the rapid tones into one, creating a strange auditory effect.
All the martial artists felt uncomfortable due to the sound of the xiao.
Only Ye Tian was unaffected, as his Inner Strength was extraordinary, far beyond that of ordinary martial artists.
Even so, Ye Tian could clearly feel the xiao sound continuously striking his eardrums, attempting to confuse his senses!
The player of the xiao must be a superpower!
“Everyone, use your inner breath to resist the sound of the xiao!”
Ye Tian exclaimed loudly, and the martial artists of the Night King Hall, including Ye Xuong, all used their power to resist the sound of the xiao, slowly recovering their senses and avoiding harm.
But Deng Xi, surrounded by the crowd, suddenly seemed off!
“Ahhh~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Deng Xi yelled, and a burst of energy exploded from within him.
This energy was several times stronger than when Ye Tian had fought him before!
The martial artists of the Night King Hall were all blown away by this sudden burst of powerful energy, and even Ye Tian was forced back several meters.
A look of surprise appeared on Ye Tian’s face.
Could it be that there was hidden power within Deng Xi’s body?
No, there should not be any left, because after being defeated by him, Deng Xi had shown a dead ash expression and had surrendered without resistance, hardly the demeanor of someone who still had reserves…
If so, where did this power inside Deng Xi come from?
“…
”
Ye Tian looked at Deng Xi’s face again, his eyes were rolled back, and the muscles on his face were twisted, looking exceptionally ferocious and not like a normal person at all!
What’s more, Ye Tian could no longer feel any vitality from Deng Xi’s body!
What in the world was happening??
Ye Tian suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu…
“Could it be that he too…”
Ye Tian muttered to himself, while Deng Xi had already pounced on him, coming fiercely, completely different from the previous Deng Xi.
Deng Xi didn’t throw punches but used his body as a projectile, ramming into Ye Tian.
His method of attack didn’t make any sense!
Seeing no way to avoid it, Ye Tian raised his palms and struck Deng Xi’s chest!
“Bang!”
Ye Tian’s heavy palm did not hold back, striking directly on Deng Xi’s chest, a surge of robust Inner Strength poured into Deng Xi’s body.
Just as he heard a “crack!”, Deng Xi’s organs were shattered by Ye Tian’s Palm Force!
Yet, this was far from enough to defeat Deng Xi!
Deng Xi’s heart and lungs were smashed, but the energy inside him did not decrease at all; instead, it grew stronger.
A rebounding force burst forth from Deng Xi’s body, and Ye Tian, unable to withdraw his palms in time, was also injured by this powerful rebounding force.
Ye Tian was thrown several meters away.
Although he avoided the brunt, it was far from easy as both his palms went numb, devoid of any feeling.
“Damn it!”
Seeing Ye Tian injured, the martial artists of the Night King Hall couldn’t heed Ye Tian’s command any longer and converged with all their might.
“Smack!”, “Smack!”, “Smack!”…
Seven or eight martial artists’ fists and palms all hit Deng Xi’s body, infusing their energy into him.
If it were an ordinary person, receiving such heavy blows would leave them without a chance of survival, but Deng Xi now was no longer just an ordinary person.
The martial artists’ energy entered Deng Xi’s body, giving them the feeling it had vanished into a void, as if his body was empty!
After taking so many heavy hits from the experts, Deng Xi was still able to counterattack, his hand sweeping ferociously, sending seven or eight martial artists flying.
“Ouch!” “Ouch!”…
These martial artists didn’t have the same excellent skills as Ye Tian and after being thrown, they landed awkwardly, groaning in pain.
Receiving heavy blows without any reaction and rapidly increasing in strength!
—Everything was eerily reminiscent of Long Wenshan, with whom Ye Tian had fought not long ago!
Although Ye Tian had killed Long Wenshan, a mysterious force had turned him into something like a zombie, not only increasing his power but making him invulnerable.
Even shattering his heart or crushing his head and disabling his arms didn’t make a difference!
The current Deng Xi, isn’t he just turned into a zombie?
To confirm his suspicion, Ye Tian activated his clairvoyant ability to inspect Deng Xi’s body.
Indeed, Deng Xi’s heart was broken, his Dantian was damaged, and there was no inner breath in his body.
However, the force of nature seeping in from outside his body was unceasing.
The strength of this force of nature far exceeded the regular martial arts Inner Strength!
As the sound of the xiao arose again, Ye Tian realized that the force of nature was being injected into Deng Xi’s body following the rhythm of the xiao.
In other words, it was the natural force of the xiao player controlling Deng Xi’s body!
Finally, some clues emerged, but Ye Tian had no time to continue observing.
After knocking down seven or eight of the Night King Hall’s martial artists, Deng Xi again came aggressively at Ye Tian!
Ye Tian knew that Deng Xi’s strength had increased considerably at this moment, and he no longer took him lightly, so he took out his ultimate weapon—the Peach Wood Sword.
The Peach Wood Sword now was not what it used to be!
Having absorbed the power of the Peach Wood Sword unearthed from the ancient tomb and some of the force of nature from Deng Xi, it hummed with energy as soon as it came out.
And Ye Tian’s body was gradually enveloped by lightning!
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~~~~~~~~”
The Peach Wood Sword danced swiftly in Ye Tian’s hands, as quick as lightning.
This was Ye Tian’s specialty, the “Overspeed Blade.” When facing the zombified Long Wenshan, it was with this sword technique that Ye Tian had shredded him to pieces.
To defeat a zombie, apart from tearing it to shreds, there was no other way!
The swordplay was fierce, and even a master like Tian Shisan had no escape.
But when Ye Tian was about to strike Deng Xi’s body, he dodged away!
Ye Tian continued fiercely swinging his sword, and suddenly a violent wind started, and the sharp sword Qi shredded the surrounding trees into sawdust.
“Run!”
The martial artists injured by Deng Xi quickly scattered, none wanting to be affected by Ye Tian’s strike!
But even though the swordplay was fierce, it still failed to hit Deng Xi.
Deng Xi’s movements were ghost-like, dodging the fatal blow through gaps between blade strikes!
“Huh?”
Ye Tian was quite surprised; Deng Xi’s speed was so incredible, it was truly inconceivable!
While puzzled, Deng Xi suddenly counterattacked, plummeting from the sky with the force of thunder; Ye Tian thrust his Peach Wood Sword straight up towards Deng Xi’s face.
He intended this thrust to force Deng Xi to back off, but a thought crossed his mind.
Since Deng Xi had become a zombie, why would he fear his attack?
In desperation, Ye Tian quickly withdrew his move and hastily dodged to the side, exposing some vulnerabilities.
This vulnerability naturally did not escape Deng Xi’s keen senses.
Deng Xi fiercely slapped out, hitting Ye Tian squarely on the back.
Ye Tian felt as if his back had been smashed by a thousand-pound boulder, nearly shattering his bones.
It was only due to the robust Inner Strength protecting his body that Ye Tian was not grievously injured, but even so, he felt his insides churning, and his energy was stifled…
A sweet taste in his throat, blood spilled from Ye Tian’s body!
“Boss!”
Ye Xuong and the others crowded around him.
Who would have thought that this enemy could wound Ye Tian so, who exactly was he?
“I’m fine!”
Ye Tian waved his hand, indicating he didn’t need treatment.
Gazing at his opponent, Ye Tian fell into deep thought.
Against an opponent like Long Wenshan, although he killed him with a single punch, after Long Wenshan turned into a zombie, he gave Ye Tian a hard fight; thus, Deng Xi, whose strength was several times that of Long Wenshan, gained much more power after zombification, far surpassing the previous Long Wenshan!
Ye Tian’s “Overspeed Blade” couldn’t defeat Deng Xi.
If he fought desperately, tearing the zombified Deng Xi into pieces might not be impossible.
But was it really worth it?
Ye Tian’s mind kept muttering…
The reason he had lured Deng Xi out with the Life Weapon was to extract information from him.
But now that Deng Xi had turned into a zombie, his mind was confused; it was impossible to get more clues from him.
As for the Peach Wood Sword used as bait, it had already returned to its owner…
“Let’s retreat!”
Ye Tian ordered, a decision he made on the spot.
After all, continuing to tangle with Deng Xi, a zombie, here was pointless.
It was better to retreat temporarily and plan for the long term!
“Yes!”
The martial artists all followed Ye Tian’s command, using their Qinggong to retreat to where they had come from.
But Deng Xi pursued relentlessly, so Ye Tian, the boss of Night King Hall, took on the task of covering their retreat!
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~~~~~~”
Though Deng Xi’s speed was extremely fast and he could dodge the “Overspeed Blade” attacks, the Peach Wood Sword in Ye Tian’s hands was extremely sharp.
Deng Xi couldn’t take the blows head-on and was forced back by Ye Tian’s swordplay by several meters.
“Die!”
Ye Tian swung his sword again, sending a fierce sword Qi hurtling towards Deng Xi, carving a deep fissure in the ground.
Deng Xi leaped backward, avoiding the thunderous strike, but Ye Tian seized this chance, vaulting tens of meters away in a few bounds!
With a powerful figure like Ye Tian covering the rear, Deng Xi simply couldn’t continue the pursuit.
At the same time, the eerie flute music also stopped, and Deng Xi’s entire body became as if frozen, immobile…
Ye Tian and the martial artists once again returned to the villa area where Xue Yunfu lived.
“Look!
What is that?”
Dracula exclaimed, pointing to a place not far away.
