Chapter 1002: Chapter 998: The Proud Buck!
Buck observed this, sneering coldly.
“Finally about to be defeated? Ye Tian, although you are strong, compared to a Servant of the God Clan like me, you still aren’t a match! So this time, you can just peacefully die!”
As he spoke, Buck launched a fierce attack, making Ye Tian struggle to cope, unable to focus.
Yet even so, a faint smile appeared on Ye Tian’s face…
“But the ship has already sunk, you said you’d kill me within ten minutes, yet I’ve survived! Looks like the lackeys of the Divine Race are just like this!”
Even at the final moment, Ye Tian’s mouth refused to concede, a sarcastic comment throwing Buck into a frenzy!
“You bastard! Just watch how I deal with you!”
Buck roared, then struck with a palm, fiercely targeting Ye Tian’s stomach.
Ye Tian was already at the end of his strength, naturally unable to defend against this palm…
“Boom!”
The heavy palm hit Ye Tian’s abdomen squarely, sending his body flying out, and Ye Tian could no longer perform Qinggong, crashing haplessly to the ground.
His bones were close to collapsing, his internal organs suffering varying degrees of damage, coupled with injury to his Dantian, Ye Tian now had no means to stop Buck’s attack.
The wooden knife controlled by the Power of Life also fell beside Ye Tian, although the Power of Life within the knife still existed, due to Ye Tian losing his combat ability, the knife, mutually dependent with Ye Tian, naturally could no longer fight.
“Kid, looks like this time we’ve reached the end, huh?”
The millennium ancient tree’s Shu Xin realized it was already at a dead end, taking the opportunity to speak with Ye Tian.
Even in life-or-death moments, Shu Xin didn’t forget to communicate with Ye Tian, though the time spent with Ye Tian was a tiny fraction compared to its millennium lifespan, these days Shu Xin deeply cherished.
“Although fleeing might evade disaster, kid, your martial artist spirit earns my respect! Fighting side by side with you is a lifetime honor, compared to the past billion years, those were some unbearable scenes!
Thank you, kid, you’ve shown me the true meaning of life. If there’s another chance, I still wish to act with you, to comprehend life’s true essence!”
Shu Xin spoke eloquently, its words transmitted through the mind into Ye Tian’s consciousness.
As Shu Xin expressed its feelings to Ye Tian, the wooden knife’s blade began to dim slowly, not a sign of the knife falling asleep, but the power of life within it slowly draining away.
“…”
Every word of the millennium ancient tree Shu Xin naturally reached Ye Tian’s ears, but Ye Tian couldn’t respond, for after battling Buck, he was already exhausted, powerless to continue.
“Hmph hmph hmph hmph~~~~~~~~~~”
Buck paced step by step in front of Ye Tian; Ye Tian now had no strength left to resist, thus becoming meat for Buck to slaughter at will!
“Ye Tian, you’ve lost your combat abilities, don’t think I’ll let you die easily! Today, I’ll slowly torment you, tearing the flesh bit by bit until you’re nothing but minced meat!”
Buck said coldly, extending his hand towards Ye Tian, choking his neck fiercely, lifting Ye Tian’s entire body.
“Ye Tian, this is what happens when you dare defy the Divine Race! As a human daring to challenge their authority, you must die!”
Buck gradually applied pressure to his hand, channeling force into Ye Tian’s body, rendering him immobile, but Ye Tian was no ordinary person; even under such torture, his eyes still glared at Buck, showing no fear.
“You dare to look at me with those eyes? Ye Tian, watch me gouge out your eyeballs!”
As he spoke, Buck’s other hand slowly reached towards Ye Tian’s eyes; just a little further and Ye Tian’s eyes would become bloody holes.
Just as Buck intended to harm Ye Tian, a sudden crack of a whip sounded near his ears!
“Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Dense whip shadows enveloped Buck’s head, the attacker naturally being the Black Widow Alice.
“You think such level of weaponry can tackle me?”
Despite the ferocity of the attack, Buck showed no trace of fear, releasing Ye Tian, then swinging his palm, a force erupted from his hand, dissipating much of the whip’s power, making it drop weakly to the ground.
However, this was merely the beginning; after neutralizing the whip’s offensive, the Black Widow immediately clawed towards Buck, using her most skilled technique, the Blood Claws.
Having been influenced by Ye Tian, and mastering the cultivation technique of Xuan Yun Gong, the power of these Blood Claws were extraordinary, imbued with the Power of the Clouds, it was both weightless and elusive.
The one attacking Buck was not just Black Widow alone; another person, Dracula, immediately charged forward, using his signature move, Ghost Claw.
Though both Ghost Claw and Black Widow’s Blood Claw are claw techniques, Dracula’s Ghost Claw takes a lighter approach, completely different from Black Widow’s domineering path. However, when enveloped with the cultivation technique of the Power of the Clouds, Dracula’s Ghost Claw becomes even more agile and ethereal, faintly discernible.
The cultivation technique of the Power of the Clouds inherently has both gentle and firm aspects. Although Black Widow and Dracula both master these aspects skillfully, their emphasis differs.
Black Widow exhibits the fierce side of the Power of the Clouds to its extremity, while Dracula is different; what he masters is the gentle side of the Power of the Clouds…
Therefore, when comparing the fierce Blood Claw and the gentle Ghost Claw, they appear distinctly different. However, when coordinated together, they complement each other perfectly, in close harmony!
“Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish~~~~~”
“Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish~~~~~”
Black Widow and Dracula attacked Buck from his left and right simultaneously. This was their trump card, one they would only employ in moments of extreme danger.
During Ye Tian’s battle with Buck, due to Ye Tian’s orders, the two could only watch without interfering. However, now Ye Tian had almost lost all his fighting capabilities. If they didn’t step in, Ye Tian would likely be killed by Buck.
As martial artists of the Night King Hall, Black Widow and Dracula naturally held Ye Tian in deep regard. They couldn’t sit by and watch Ye Tian be trampled to death by Buck. Hence, even if they knew they were not opponents, they had to fight desperately!
“Just you two little bugs want to defeat me?”
Facing the contrasting attacks from Black Widow and Dracula, Buck showed no fear. He launched his palms, aiming simultaneously at Black Widow and Dracula.
“Change moves!”
Buck’s palm strikes were fierce, prompting Black Widow to shout urgently.
Both Black Widow and Dracula were exceptional talents, possessing great skills in martial arts techniques.
Buck’s immense power and formidable palm strikes left Black Widow and Dracula unable to contend, prompting them to change tactics instantly. No longer attacking Buck’s sides, they twisted their bodies to avoid Buck’s incoming palms and instead aimed at Buck’s chest.
The Blood Claw and Ghost Claw attacked Buck’s body at the same spot, combining strength and grace. Their power was naturally extraordinary, posing difficulty even for a warrior like Buck to handle.
“He’s running out of strength. We can do this!”
Black Widow shouted, knowing Ye Tian had previously been slightly inferior, but their tussle had exhausted Buck greatly. Like a tiger fallen to level ground suffering at the hands of dogs, Buck, after exhausting himself, might indeed be defeated by her and Dracula.
“This time, we will show this guy the might of our Night King Hall martial artists!” Dracula nodded in agreement.
The claws of both Black Widow and Dracula struck fiercely at Buck’s vital chest area. Yet, neither Black Widow nor Dracula showed any joy in hitting their target, instead displaying utter bewilderment!
“What is this!?”
“How can this be!?”
They were shocked because, although their attacks had hit Buck, the ones truly injured turned out to be themselves.
Black Widow’s Blood Claw struck Dracula’s chest hard; meanwhile, Dracula’s Ghost Claw precisely pierced Black Widow’s chest!
Since neither had held back, their energies clashed and coursed through each other’s bodies, causing intense turmoil and pain.
Both Black Widow and Dracula spit out fresh blood involuntarily…
Buck would not grant them a chance to catch their breath and immediately advanced, delivering punches with both hands that struck Black Widow and Dracula respectively.
This hit was far more violent than the previous palm strike. The martial prowess of Black Widow and Dracula was already considerably lower than Buck’s. Coupled with Buck’s heavy blow, how could they withstand it?
“Boom!”, “Boom!”
The bodies of Black Widow and Dracula were sent flying by Buck. Their bones felt like they were falling apart, and the energy they had painstakingly gathered dissipated in an instant.
With merely a single strike, Black Widow and Dracula lost their combat effectiveness…
“This guy… is so strong… So this is the kind of monster the boss has been fighting all along, huh…”
“It seems our self-assumed strength… is nothing but a joke…”
Black Widow and Dracula lay helpless on the ground, lamenting their own weakness.
They originally thought Ye Tian had already crippled Buck, believing they should have had a chance. However, unexpectedly, the gap in strength between themselves and Buck was too vast, defeating them in just one move.
