633: Chapter 629: Xuan Yun Gong!
“Kid, our meeting is fate; I hope that next time, we can meet again!”
At Ye Tian’s ear, the voice of the millennium ancient tree’s Shu Xin resounded.
Perhaps at the beginning, Shu Xin had urged him to flee, and he really should have complied…
But Ye Tian had no regrets; as the King of the Night, how could he flee from battle?
Having lost the power of life, Ye Tian’s entire body weakened, as Deng Xi’s power immediately grew stronger!
Ye Tian’s neck was twisted like a twist braid, and he felt like he couldn’t breathe, nearly slipping into unconsciousness…
“King of the Night, without the force of nature, you have no way to defeat me!
The weak will always be weak, opportunistic tactics by stealing power from the Life Weapon are just a trick!”
The puppeteer coldly scoffed, and Ye Tian was well aware that the predicament he was in was due to the different cultivation methods.
The force of nature, which can draw power from nature itself, is much stronger than a Martial Artist drawing power from their own Dantian!
Even drawing power from objects crafted from crystals, golden horns, or the millennium ancient tree would not allow one to defeat a foe wielding the pure force of nature!
“Stop!”
Just as Ye Tian was no longer able to resist, Yun Xinyan rushed to his side.
From the very start, Yun Xinyan had been watching from a small mound, and indeed, with her frailty, she couldn’t really help Ye Tian in any substantial way.
But, when Yun Xinyan saw her husband, Ye Tian, truly hanging by a thread, she could no longer hold back and hurried down the mound to his side.
“Wife!
Run!”
Ye Tian yelled, but Yun Xinyan wouldn’t listen.
“Ye Tian, we are husband and wife; today, you’ve encountered such a formidable opponent.
I can’t beat him, nor am I of much help, but the only thing I can do is die with you!”
In Yun Xinyan’s eyes, a resolute expression emerged.
Even Ye Tian was moved by this expression…
“Wife, you…”
Ye Tian couldn’t finish speaking, not knowing how to express his feelings at that moment.
“Let go!”
Seeing the terrifying puppet gripping Ye Tian’s neck tightly, Yun Xinyan, regardless of her frail body, reached out directly attempting to pry Deng Xi’s palms apart.
But what help could Yun Xinyan really offer with her strength?
Endowed with the strong force of nature, as soon as Yun Xinyan made contact, she was forcefully thrown back!
“Ah!”
Unlike Ye Tian, who could maintain his balance even when thrown, she fell hard onto the ground.
“Thud!”
Yun Xinyan’s head hit a rock, and she immediately bled profusely, falling unconscious.
“Wife!”
Ye Tian shouted, but it was to no avail; Yun Xinyan’s eyes were firmly shut, and she could no longer respond to Ye Tian.
“A woman as insignificant as an ant, yet dreaming of saving you—quit your delusions!
King of the Night, don’t worry, your wife is dead, and soon you will join her!”
The puppeteer’s words had no trace of compassion.
Ye Tian also knew that Yun Xinyan hitting her head and bleeding was no minor injury, and if they delayed any longer, she might not survive.
“Let go…”
Even though Deng Xi was tightly gripping his neck, Ye Tian was still able to shout with a powerful voice.
“Hehehe~~~~~~ give up, you’re as good as dead!
King of the Night, you without the force of nature are incapable of defeating the puppet before you!”
The manipulator continued to sneer, utterly convinced that Ye Tian wouldn’t escape this time.
Yet as Ye Tian shouted, his breathing grew more and more labored, and wave after wave of breaths condensed within him, making his body increasingly heavy!
Even with Deng Xi’s tremendous gripping force, he couldn’t withstand such pressure, and Ye Tian’s feet had already touched the ground.
“You jumping jack, get lost!”
Ye Tian suddenly swung his arm, and Deng Xi’s hand gripping his neck was thrust away, not just Deng Xi’s hand, but his entire body was forced back several steps by the powerful force emanating from Ye Tian.
“What is this?
How is this possible!?”
From inside Deng Xi, the manipulator’s voice burst out, clearly sensing the change in the aura inside Ye Tian.
At that moment, Ye Tian didn’t have the wooden knife in his hand, but the power within him was no less formidable than when he held the wooden knife!
No, it was even stronger than when he had borrowed the power of life from the wooden knife!
Around Ye Tian, gusts of wind arose, representing surges of power!
What was even more astonishing was that above Ye Tian’s head, the swirling patches of white clouds began to gather.
Clusters of white clouds came together, forming a large expanse of cloud cover!
After a short while, this cloud cover circling above Ye Tian’s head suddenly plummeted!
Lower and lower it fell, and then, it went directly into the Baihui acupoint on top of Ye Tian’s head!
“Impossible!
This can’t be possible!”
The puppet master cried out in shock, already astounded.
The skills Ye Tian was using were no longer any traditional martial arts Inner Strength, but rather, like his own, a skill that drew power from nature!
“Just a mere Martial Artist!
How could you possibly learn such a skill?
Why can you also harness the force of nature?
Where exactly did you learn your Mysterious Cloud Skill from?”
Although the puppet was not his real body, the puppet master was still terrified, and from his words, Ye Tian could clearly hear some clues.
The skill to absorb clouds: Mysterious Cloud Skill!
It seemed this was the skill he had learned from the fish tank, although he did not know why he could only utilize it now, but Ye Tian’s body was filled with power, which meant the skill he had learned was effective!
This was what it felt like to possess the force of nature, completely different from when he infused the power of crystals, golden horns, or wooden swords into his body; the power drawn purely from nature was far more comforting…
“Mysterious Cloud Skill?”
Ye Tian gave a cold smile.
The Inner Strength he had learned from the fish tank was not only formidable, but now Ye Tian also knew the name of the Inner Strength.
The name Mysterious Cloud Skill was quite good; it could even absorb the power of the clouds above his head, which was certainly interesting!
But Ye Tian had no time to contemplate the deeper meaning in the name of Mysterious Cloud Skill, as the pressing matter was he had to quickly defeat his opponent since Yun Xinyan was already injured!
Ye Tian stomped fiercely, and the ground immediately cracked open widely, a power that Ye Tian did not possess before.
With the momentum of this stomp, Ye Tian had already lunged at the puppet Deng Xi.
At this moment, Deng Xi, handicapped in arms and legs, naturally could not move quickly!
Additionally, since the force of nature Ye Tian was now using was extremely formidable, there was simply no way to avoid it!
“Boom!”
Ye Tian delivered a heavy punch directly to Deng Xi’s chest area, a punch even more powerful than the wooden sword Ye Tian usually carried.
The wooden sword, carved from the heart of a millennium ancient tree, would be blocked by Deng Xi’s skin as tough as steel, but Deng Xi could not withstand Ye Tian’s punch!
Under this single punch, Deng Xi, the powerful puppet, had a huge hole blown through his chest, his breastbone shattered, and even his heart was blasted out of his body!
At this time, Deng Xi no longer resembled a human form, looking more like a ghoul…
However, Ye Tian also knew the ferocity of the puppet, and even if his heart was blasted into pieces, it would not stop attacking.
Therefore, Ye Tian did not dare to slack off, continuously launching punches at Deng Xi!
As a puppet, Deng Xi had no sense of pain, so he would not dodge, Ye Tian’s punches were like overwhelming waves, one punch stronger than the next.
Deng Xi, this puppet, also struck back; originally, his strength was much greater than Ye Tian’s.
But now that Ye Tian could also utilize the force of nature, Deng Xi’s punches surprisingly began to fall short in the face-off!
“No, this can’t be possible!”
From within Deng Xi’s body, the puppet master’s voice was clearly heard.
This puppet master seemed unable to believe the scene unfolding before him; he was controlling this puppet with his own power, yet surprisingly losing to this ordinary Martial Artist before him.
“King of the Night, even if you have learned Mysterious Cloud Skill, this technique is profoundly mysterious; how could you achieve immediate effects?”
The puppet master kept questioning Ye Tian, but the defeat was already set, no matter how he questioned, nothing could change the outcome of the battle.
Under Ye Tian’s relentless punching, Deng Xi’s puppet body was hammered into pieces…
Of course, Ye Tian did not reduce Deng Xi to a pile of minced meat, for that would require quite a bit of energy…
But still, the puppet before him had stopped attacking, so Ye Tian also stopped.
Unlike when fighting the puppet with ordinary Inner Strength, since he was also using the force of nature, it countered the force controlling the puppet, making it not so easy for the puppet master to continue controlling.
Plus, Deng Xi’s body was already worn out, he could no longer continue to combat Ye Tian, which means, the puppet itself gave up on victory…
“Mysterious Cloud Skill is indeed formidable!”
After defeating Deng Xi, Ye Tian no longer lingered in battle, he immediately went to Yun Xinyan’s side.
“Wife, I will take you for treatment right now!”
Ye Tian embraced Yun Xinyan, ready to leave, but a stern voice came from behind!
“King of the Night, don’t think you’ve won!
Even though I’ve infused my power into the puppet’s body, the puppet could not exert even one-tenth of my power!
The next time we meet, it will be your doom!”
— This voice was, of course, that of the puppet master controlling Deng Xi, sending a chill down Ye Tian’s spine.
He had not expected to encounter such a formidable opponent in Jiang City…
