Chapter 1046: Chapter 1042: Encountering Tentacles Again!
However, just as Ye Tian was relaxing, he suddenly heard a “rustle, rustle, rustle!” sound beside him!
This sound was unusual, even Ye Tian was startled, as he clearly felt a murderous aura from the sound.
So Ye Tian quickly steeled himself and looked towards the source of the sound!
What he saw shocked him; several tentacles were coming right at him!!
They were identical to the tentacles that attacked and killed Tian Er, Ye Tian didn’t expect to encounter them in the New World Building’s bathroom!
At a closer range, Ye Tian could clearly see what the tentacles looked like. They were similar to octopus tentacles but thinner and longer, covered in creepy moving hairs…
If a woman saw these tentacles, she’d definitely feel nauseous!
“Swish, swish, swish, swish~~~~~~~”
The tentacles were clearly targeting Ye Tian, and as Ye Tian scrutinized them, they launched an attack.
At lightning speed, they shot towards Ye Tian like bullets!
“Damn!”
Ye Tian exclaimed, not daring to be careless.
The biochemical weapons created by the Black Hole Clan were far more formidable than ordinary martial artists. If he wasn’t careful, he might get entangled by the tentacles, which would be troublesome…
Therefore, Ye Tian immediately utilized his Qinggong, dodging the attack of the tree-root-like tentacles in an instant!
“Crash!”
The tentacles missed Ye Tian; due to their excessive force, they struck the sink behind Ye Tian. With a crisp sound, the ceramic sink shattered instantly.
Having missed their target, the tentacles didn’t relent, immediately changing direction and heading straight for Ye Tian!
But Ye Tian was a master of Qinggong with highly skilled moves. After familiarizing himself with the tentacles’ attack styles and speed, he was no longer afraid of their attacks!
“Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The tentacles launched another fierce attack at Ye Tian, who skillfully dodged. The tentacles couldn’t hit Ye Tian but struck the tiles behind him, shattering them, leaving the eighteenth-floor bathroom in disarray.
“Where on earth did these tentacles come from?”
While dodging the tentacle attacks, Ye Tian pondered continuously.
Tentacles should have a body somewhere, yet these tentacles were so long that their body was deeply hidden. Ye Tian simply couldn’t discern where the tentacles’ body was!
If he knew the body of the tentacles, Ye Tian could trace it to uncover more crucial clues. Unfortunately, given the current situation, finding the tentacle body was simply unrealistic.
“What’s wrong with the bathroom? Why did it break?”
“I don’t know either. I rushed here after hearing the noise!”
Two employees working on the eighteenth floor hurried over to investigate after hearing the loud noise from the bathroom.
In other words, the battle between Ye Tian and the tentacles here had already been discovered by others…
Although there were only two people now, it was conceivable that a crowd would gather here to watch, so Ye Tian inevitably couldn’t stay here for long.
“Huh? The tentacles are gone?”
Just as Ye Tian was planning to escape, the tentacles had already retreated, moving faster than Ye Tian, making him gape in astonishment.
Of course, Ye Tian wasn’t one to lag behind either. He lightly leaped and hid in the ventilation duct above the bathroom.
Meanwhile, all the white-collar workers from the eighteenth floor of the New World Building poured into the bathroom, each showing amazed expressions!
“What’s wrong with the bathroom? Did a pipe burst?”
“It looks like someone was fighting here! But if it was a fight, how could it be messed up to this extent?”
“Could it be aliens came in? Or Ultraman? Iron Man? Captain America?”
…
The white-collar workers made comments one after another, and though the bathroom was in chaos, they seemed unfazed, with most of their words being teasing.
Some even took out their phones, started taking photos of the ruined bathroom, and then posted them on social media…
After a while of commotion, everyone decided to inform the security of New World Building!
Two security guards then arrived at the bathroom on the eighteenth floor to conduct an investigation inside and out. However, these two guards were merely ordinary people with slightly more strength. How could they possibly know who had damaged the bathroom?
Meanwhile, in the ventilation duct, Ye Tian could clearly see every move of the people in the bathroom. But because Ye Tian held his breath and concealed his presence, none of the people there noticed him!
After the two security guards conducted their investigation and collected evidence in the bathroom, they left. Ye Tian also overheard their conversation, which seemed to suggest they were going to call the police…
As a result, the damaged bathroom was temporarily empty. If Ye Tian were to emerge from the ventilation duct at this moment, he could easily escape. However, doing so would render his investigation at New World Building meaningless!
So, Ye Tian continued moving through the ventilation duct!
The ventilation duct was quite narrow, and with Ye Tian’s physique, he couldn’t move freely within it. However, Ye Tian was a skilled martial artist and could use a technique known as “Bone Shrinking Skill.”
Whenever the ventilation duct ahead was too narrow to navigate, Ye Tian would reduce his body size slightly. In this way, Ye Tian could pass through tight spaces!
With this approach, Ye Tian could travel unimpeded through the ventilation duct…
Since this was a commercial building, as long as Ye Tian walked cautiously within the ventilation duct, he could witness everything in each room. When he reached the area above the conference room on the eighteenth floor, he suddenly heard footsteps!
“Someone’s there! And they are experts! Two experts have entered the conference room!”
Ye Tian froze, his heart trembling slightly.
With Ye Tian’s level of cultivation, he could easily discern whether a person was a martial artist or an ordinary person.
Ordinary people walked lightly, without a sense of balance. However, martial artists were different; because they carried power, they often appeared more grounded when walking. The more grounded they were, the stronger the martial artist.
Ye Tian could tell just by listening that these two people were top-level experts!
Of course, more importantly, it wasn’t just their martial arts prowess but their background!
Ye Tian had previously investigated all the white-collar workers on the eighteenth floor, and none of them knew martial arts, let alone were experts!
Where did these sudden experts come from?
It’s important to know that this conference room is right next to the stairs and elevator on the eighteenth floor. Ye Tian had been in the ventilation duct above the conference room and had not seen anyone taking the elevator or stairs to come upstairs…
Given that, where did these two experts come from?
“There’s only one possibility, they must have come from a higher floor!!”
Ye Tian murmured to himself, and he was confident in his deduction!
Although Ye Tian hadn’t seen how these two experts came down from a higher floor, their appearance in the conference room on the eighteenth floor greatly aided his intelligence gathering!
Thus, Ye Tian quickly practiced the Silent Qi of the Nether God, held his breath, and suppressed all the power within his Dantian…
Compared to Ye Tian’s previous methods, his hidden form was now concealed to perfection. He had almost become one with his surroundings, and even the most skilled experts would find it difficult to detect Ye Tian’s presence.
After successfully hiding, Ye Tian used his clairvoyant ability to clearly see two men sitting in the conference room.
One of the men was wearing a white suit, while the other wore a black suit, the exact opposite.
The two men complemented each other so well that Ye Tian couldn’t help but smile…
Of course, what Ye Tian was most concerned about was who these two men were?
After the man in the white suit and the man in the black suit were seated, the man in the white suit immediately spoke: “Tian Yi, the ‘Sentinels’ have been deployed, so why have they achieved nothing?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian couldn’t help but be startled.
The man in the black suit was none other than Tian Yi, the strongest among the thirteen guardians of the Black Hole Clan, and the one who, in Tian Er’s words, could stand as an equal to himself!
So Ye Tian quickly assessed Tian Yi. Tian Yi appeared rather thin, and not very tall, standing only about 1.6 meters.
In the world of ordinary people, such height might be considered a physical limitation, much less in the world of martial artists…
Ye Tian observed Tian Yi’s appearance, finding it truly unremarkable; not only was he thin, but also short, probably weighing only seventy to eighty pounds.
Of course, despite his unprepossessing appearance, Ye Tian was well aware that this Tian Yi before him was no ordinary person. After all, appearances can be deceiving, especially for a martial artist!
Compared to Tian Yi, the man in the white suit was handsome, looking around twenty years old, and appeared cheerful and dashing, a first-rate young heartthrob.
With such a physique and looks, combined with his white suit attire, he would likely captivate countless young women if he went out.
The man in the white suit and the unassuming Tian Yi made a perfect pair, and the more Ye Tian looked, the more interesting he found them…
