Chapter 1055: Chapter 1051: The Levels of the Power of Death
“Crash!”
The blade rose and fell with a thunderous sound, severing the Power of Death unleashed by Tian Yi, finally freeing Tian Qi.
“Cough, cough… cough, cough…”
Having narrowly escaped suffocation, Tian Qi couldn’t stop coughing after being rescued.
Ye Tian glanced at Tian Qi and said calmly, “Qiqi, sometimes, as the leader, I can certainly be a bit willful! But please believe me, even if I act recklessly, I will fulfill my promises to you. I will help you save the people of the Black Hole Clan!”
“Ye Tian, you…”
Tinged with emotion after hearing Ye Tian’s words, Tian Qi was touched.
Their friendship wasn’t that deep to be honest; Tian Qi had chosen to cooperate with Ye Tian to leverage his strength to save her people. Yet, Ye Tian never blamed her selfish motives and readily agreed to cooperate with Tian Qi.
A fool like this—can there be another in this world?
Tian Yi was the foremost among the Black Hole Clan’s thirteen guards, and Tian Qi knew very well about his formidable strength. Therefore, she suggested Ye Tian team up with others to fight the enemy. But seeing Ye Tian’s resolute expression, Tian Qi could say nothing more and silently backed down.
The Martial Artists of the Night King Hall crowded around with concern seeing Tian Qi injured by Tian Yi, offering words of comfort…
“Qiqi, are you alright? Why were you so impulsive just now?”
“Leave the leader’s matters for him to handle himself! After all, except for believing in and relying on our leader, us Martial Artists of the Night King Hall have no other choice!”
“Qiqi, is your neck still hurting? If it is, let me rub it for you!”
…
Although Tian Qi never officially joined the Martial Artists of the Night King Hall, having interacted with them for a long time, she gradually began to feel the warmth of the Night King Hall.
Compared to the cold indifference she felt among the Black Hole Clan, this was an entirely different sensation!
Tian Qi, although a master among masters, was also a woman, and the close concern from others instantly warmed her heart!
“Thank you all, I’m fine now!”
Tian Qi quickly reassured the concerned Martial Artists. Although Tian Yi’s Power of Death almost killed her at first, her strong physique allowed her to quickly recover once freed from its constraints.
Seeing Tian Qi safe and sound, Ye Tian too became invigorated, staring directly at his opponent, Tian Yi!
“Tian Yi, I know you are the most formidable among the thirteen guards and far more powerful than Tian Er! Even so, I must stop you! Because I absolutely cannot allow the Yin-Yang Cloak to fall into the hands of the Black Hole Clan!”
Ye Tian declared resolutely, but his words were met with scorn by Tian Yi!
“Ridiculous! The Yin-Yang Cloak originally belonged to our Black Hole Clan. You’ve stolen it for years, reaping many benefits. Now our clan seeks to reclaim it, and rightfully so. Yet you refuse to return it, which is truly laughable!”
In Tian Yi’s view, retrieving the clan’s artifact for his people was only proper, therefore he saw nothing debatable about it.
But Ye Tian’s perspective was entirely different!
“Though this treasure was crafted by the Black Hole Clan, much like those large-scale weapons of mass destruction, it needs to be safeguarded by the right person! If this thing returns to the hands of the Black Hole Clan, the entire southern city may suffer great catastrophe. Therefore, it’s better kept with me!”
Ye Tian said gravely, and Tian Yi immediately retorted with anger, “Nonsense! You thief, unable to justify yourself, stop spouting your fallacies here!”
With that, Tian Yi unleashed all of his Power of Death!
A cloud of dark energy enveloped Tian Yi’s body, encapsulating not only himself but also Ye Tian who stood not far in front of him.
This dark energy was, of course, the Power of Death possessed by Tian Yi. With just an initial test, Ye Tian realized the power hidden within Tian Yi was far beyond that of Tian Er, whom he had defeated!
“Not dodging? King of the Night, you overestimate yourself!”
Seeing his dark energy envelop Ye Tian, a smirk appeared on Tian Yi’s lips, while simultaneously, Ye Tian felt his body rendered immobile.
“This… this is…”
Ye Tian found it incredible—just being shrouded in the dark energy rendered him immobile, what kind of technique did Tian Yi employ?
And seeing Ye Tian restrained, Tian Yi sneered.
“King of the Night, the so-called Power of Death is classified by levels! At an introductory level, it merely emits faint dark energy; at an intermediate level, it can burst forth dense dark energy, blocking sunlight; at an advanced level, it can become tangible and bind those mired in it!”
Tian Yi explained heavily. Ye Tian finally understood why he couldn’t move!
Earlier, Tian Yi with a mere gesture could grab Tian Qi from a distance, using naturally the tangible Power of Death.
When Tian Yi unleashed his surrounding power, Ye Tian was unprepared, hence was caught off guard and was bound completely by Tian Yi.
Because both Ye Tian and Tian Yi were enveloped by dense black gas, those outside couldn’t see what was happening inside.
The Martial Artists of the Night King Hall, each strong in their own right, could sense via aura that within the black gas, Tian Yi’s aura was constantly expanding, while Ye Tian’s aura remained unmoved, causing all the Martial Artists to worry.
“Will the boss be okay?”
“I don’t know, but that guy named Tian Yi is indeed much stronger than Tian Er! Just a number separates them, yet the difference in strength is like night and day!”
“But even if the boss is in a predicament, he won’t be defeated! As a Martial Artist of the Night King Hall, I have confidence in the boss!”
…
As for those passengers and crew members on flight N3111, they were all bewildered, instinctively feeling fear!
“What is this? Could it be a black hole? Will it suck people in?”
“My god! I must be dreaming! This surely is the end of the world!”
“I want to run away so badly! But we’re on a mountaintop, there’s no rescue, and the airplane can’t fly, there’s no escaping!”
…
In the midst of everyone’s discussions, inside the black gas, Tian Yi was stepping towards Ye Tian.
“Hehehehe~~~~~ The concentration of the Power of Death renders you immobile, but that’s only directed at you; I can move freely in this black gas! King of the Night, you’ve already been controlled by me; now you’re just my live target!”
Although Tian Yi’s physique was slender and he wasn’t tall, he exuded an imposing aura in front of Ye Tian.
This aura made Ye Tian feel pressured…
“Well then, let me teach you a lesson!”
Saying this, Tian Yi reached for Ye Tian’s neck, but the moment his hand touched Ye Tian’s neck, he sensed something amiss!
A vigorous force bounced Tian Yi’s hand away!
“It’s the Power of Life!”
As a powerhouse of the Black Hole Clan, Tian Yi naturally recognized a force diametrically opposed to the Power of Death, which was the Power of Life.
The Power of Death and the Power of Life are difficult to merge, so when the two forces appear simultaneously, a battle is inevitable!
So, when his hand was bounced away by Ye Tian’s force, Tian Yi immediately knew that it was Ye Tian’s Power of Life that had bounced his own away!
“Tian Yi, did you perhaps take this matter too lightly?”
Ye Tian sneered and continuously released the Power of Life from within…
“Zzzt-zzzt!” “Zzzt-zzzt!” …
Lightning surrounded Ye Tian’s body, and when his arms and legs were enveloped in lightning, he could move freely.
“Tian Yi, real strength doesn’t rely on unexpected tricks! If you hope to defeat me by capitalizing on my unfamiliarity with your techniques, then you’re not that strong at all! True power lies in the strength of will and might, not in playing with flashy moves!”
With his limbs moving freely, Ye Tian spoke coldly, his words sharply piercing Tian Yi’s heart.
“…”
Tian Yi did not retort, yet his face did not show fear because Ye Tian had broken free from his bindings.
“Swipe!”
Ye Tian grabbed a wooden sword carved from the millennium ancient tree’s Shu Xin and gave it a gentle swing, which scattered the dense black gas around him. Sunlight appeared above his head once more, and those nearby could finally see Ye Tian and Tian Yi’s figures again.
“Neutralize my Power of Death, have you?”
Tian Yi absorbed the emitted black gas back into his body and responded calmly.
“However, King of the Night, what you said earlier isn’t entirely correct! As the leader of the thirteen guards of the Black Hole Clan, I don’t underestimate you in the slightest, nor do I ever hope to defeat you using sudden tactics!
In my view, you are a Martial Artist of considerable strength and pose a threat to the Black Hole Clan; battling you will certainly require my full effort and be protracted!”
Tian Yi’s words brought a smile to Ye Tian.
“Tian Yi, saying that means you acknowledge me, right? So now, you’ll use your strongest killing move and fight me?”
Tian Yi nodded slightly and said, “Strongest killing move? Naturally, but this means you and your companions will die by my hand!”
As he spoke, Tian Yi extended his hand towards Ye Tian, pointing to his left index finger…
