Chapter 1039: Chapter 1035: The Surprised Tian Er…
“Thank you, Shu Xin, but I won’t be defeated by such an opponent!”
Ye Tian confidently responded to Shu Xin. Although Tian Er was formidable, compared to the attendants of those Indian deities he had fought, he was likely still lacking.
Being able to defeat experts like Buck, Ye Tian wouldn’t even consider someone like Tian Er worth his attention.
Therefore, Ye Tian also roused his spirits and unleashed the power of life within him to its fullest.
After all, to counter the power of death, using the power of life is most appropriate…
“Zizi!”, “Zizi!”…
The stimulation of the power of life caused Ye Tian’s body surface and the blade of the wooden sword to burst with flashes of lightning. The lightning carried a white glow, appearing particularly dazzling.
Tian Er sneered upon seeing this!
“Ye Tian, no matter how you wield the power of life, compared to the power of death I now possess, it’s far inferior! Previously I was merely a Martial Artist of the Innate Realm, but now, having absorbed the power of death from so many people, my strength has reached the Heavenly Person Realm!
With your mere Innate Realm capabilities, there’s absolutely no way for you to defeat me! I’ll tear you to pieces, along with your brothers!”
Just as Tian Er said, his strength had indeed stepped into the threshold of the Heavenly Person Realm, and for Ye Tian, who was still lingering in the Innate Realm, the disparity was inevitable.
In the Martial Arts World, where strength is the basis, if two martial artists are a rank apart, it signifies that the outcome has already been decided…
Facing Tian Er’s arrogant words, Ye Tian shook his head and mockingly replied, “Heavenly Person Realm? How laughable! A martial artist who regards human life as grass and has no compassion can actually achieve Unity of Heaven and Man? Doesn’t this greatly dishonor nature?”
“You…”
Ye Tian’s words made Tian Er grind his teeth in hatred, and he immediately drew out the black blade.
His previous strike had already inflicted severe injury on Ye Tian, so this time, as long as he continued his assault, Ye Tian wouldn’t be able to escape alive!
“Another black blade, huh? Let’s see whether your black blade is superior, or my wooden sword is!”
Ye Tian also held the wooden sword across his chest, using his other hand to wipe the blood off the corner of his mouth. An incessant stream of life force enveloped Ye Tian and the wooden sword.
“Kid, I hate the power of death the most. This time, I must completely shatter the power of death!”
Shu Xin kept cheering Ye Tian on, and Ye Tian smiled slightly, responding with his heart, “Of course! Shu Xin, the evil force has no right to exist in this world!”
With that, Ye Tian gently swung the wooden sword, forming several sword flowers. The sword flowers emitted waves of sword energy, shooting directly towards Tian Er!
“Huh?”
Faced with such powerful opposition, Ye Tian taking the initiative to attack made Tian Er pause in surprise, so Tian Er immediately galloped forward, wielding the black blade to engage with the sword energy of the wooden sword!
“Boom boom boom boom boom~~~~~~~~”
The collision of the black blade and the wooden sword’s energy erupted with thunderous explosive sounds, shaking the heavens so even the martial artists of the Night King Hall, endowed with abundant inner strength, had to cover their ears.
Simultaneously, the ground beneath their feet also began to tremble violently, as if an earthquake was imminent!
“I didn’t expect this guy called Tian Er to be so strong. I remember he was utterly defeated by the boss before, so how come now he suddenly can match the boss evenly?”
“Yeah! From the looks of it, a decision between these two seems like it will take some time!”
“The boss seems to be caught in a tough battle?”
…
The martial artists of Night King Hall, being clear-minded individuals, could discern from just a couple of exchanges between Ye Tian and Tian Er that their strengths were evenly matched.
While Ye Tian was undoubtedly strong, after absorbing the power from the deceased, Tian Er’s strength had significantly increased, reaching a level that could contend with Ye Tian.
“Not bad!”
After engaging in a fierce battle with Tian Er, Ye Tian smiled arrogantly as his fighting spirit surged further.
This Black Hole Clan’s thirteenth guard he was initially indifferent to during combat, merely intending to rescue his brothers. However, now Ye Tian stood as a representative of the power of life, opposing the power of death!
These two conflicting forces were inherently irreconcilable, and the powerful life force and death force were filled with antagonism. Therefore, the millennium ancient tree’s Shu Xin had a burning fighting spirit, determined to confront Tian Er to the end.
The tremendous power of life, which Ye Tian had witnessed, was seen on Tianshan. The life force wielded by the life weapon Yu Xiao’s heart was the most powerful life force Ye Tian had seen; as for the powerful death force, Ye Tian also witnessed it from Tian Er, the very force Tian Er wielded!
Thus, not only was the millennium ancient tree’s Shu Xin brimming with excitement, but even Ye Tian was raring to go, eager to try…
“You… really are unharmed…?”
In contrast to Ye Tian’s calm demeanor, Tian Er’s face showed a look of astonishment.
Absorbing energy from the dead was already Tian Er’s final trump card, yet he still couldn’t gain the upper hand, leaving him utterly shocked.
This also hurt Tian Er’s self-esteem…
“Damn it! I refuse to believe it! I refuse to believe that I can’t kill you!! I want to tear you limb from limb!!!”
Tian Er went completely berserk. With a loud roar, the black aura within him suddenly erupted.
The dense black aura, like a black mist, enveloped not only Tian Er and Ye Tian, but also the martial artists of the Night King Hall observing around them, shrouding everything so that visibility was completely lost.
Ye Xuong looked at Tian Qi and said with a bitter smile, “Lady Qiqi, I didn’t expect the Power of Death to be so formidable! Even Tian Er is overwhelmed; just how powerful are those elders of the Black Hole Clan?
Tian Qi sighed and said, “I don’t know either. After all, I’ve never seen the elders in action, and compared to Tian Er’s mastery of the Power of Death, mine seems too shallow! But right now doesn’t seem like the time to marvel at the wonders of Life Weapon; for safety’s sake, we should hold hands!”
“Indeed so!”
Ye Xuong nodded in agreement since visibility was impaired, and Ye Tian and Tian Er were locked in intense combat with no time to care about the spectators. Holding hands could help avoid being mistakenly injured by Ye Tian.
“Brothers, hold hands, everyone, and don’t panic!”
Ye Xuong shouted loudly, and all the martial artists of the Night King Hall understood, linking hands in under 10 seconds, showcasing the unity of the Night King Hall’s martial artists!
“How could this be?”
Seeing the response of the martial artists of the Night King Hall, Tian Er was taken aback. As the emitter of the black aura, he could see the silhouettes within the dense mist.
Originally, Tian Er planned to blind all the martial artists so that during his duel with Ye Tian, Ye Tian would be wary of hurting them and naturally be defeated.
But unexpectedly, the martial artists of the Night King Hall were so united, like an iron wall. In such a case, his strategy wouldn’t hold.
Of course, even so, Tian Er had full confidence in defeating Ye Tian!
“However, Ye Tian, my black aura has surrounded hundreds of meters around. You can’t see me, so now you’re nothing more than a living target!”
Tian Er said with full confidence. As he spoke, most of the commercial district in South City’s new town had already been shrouded by the dense black aura, turning daylight into night.
Even though a warning line was erected, the large area of black aura was beyond the warning line’s ability to cover up, allowing the people far from the line to visibly see the dense black mist!
“What is that? Why has that place turned completely black?”
“Is it a thundercloud? No! It doesn’t look like a thundercloud! It’s just like a black hole!”
“How strange this is! Could it be the end of the world?”
…
The ordinary citizens who lived and worked in South City were utterly clueless, so when the dense black aura appeared, they could only experience waves of panic.
Some even rushed to the train station and airport in South City, eager to leave the city immediately…
Within the dense black aura, Ye Tian stood nearest to Tian Er, displaying a calm and composed expression. He spoke softly, “You claim I can’t see you in the black mist? How exactly did you come to this conclusion?”
As he spoke, Ye Tian’s figure flickered and he immediately appeared before Tian Er, swinging the wooden sword fiercely at him.
“What!?”
Tian Er was shocked. He quickly raised the black sword to parry.
“Clang!”
The two weapons collided, emitting a piercing noise.
Though Tian Er blocked Ye Tian’s sword, the impact numbed his arm, nearly losing grip of the black sword.
Tian Er instantly retreated a step, holding his breath, concealing himself, and merging into the black aura, swiftly circling to Ye Tian’s back.
Seeing the opportunity, Tian Er swung the wooden sword heavily, aiming to chop and split Ye Tian’s skull from above.
This strike, though immense in power, was utterly silent in execution. He believed Ye Tian would be cleaved in two by it…
However, much to Tian Er’s surprise, Ye Tian seemed to have eyes on his back and, just as the black sword was about to descend, he lightly stepped aside. The black sword missed Ye Tian, instead slashing into the ground.
