970: Chapter 966: One Move Decides the Winner!
The surrounding air had become dense and oppressive, with a heavy humidity suffusing the atmosphere, giving a suffocating sensation…
Ye Tian himself was encapsulated in a powerful force; afterward, all the energy merged into his body, causing him to emit a radiant glow.
In the pitch-black night, this glow was particularly dazzling, illuminating the dense forest as if it were broad daylight.
Gradually, the power once again seeped into Ye Tian’s body…
“So that’s it—it’s the force of nature!
A force with nature as its core, complemented by other energies.
When these powers merge, their strength becomes even greater!
Ye Tian, I don’t know how you managed to fuse such forces, but surely it wasn’t easy, was it?”
Kara also began to analyze the energy residing in Ye Tian’s body.
Ye Tian let out a bitter laugh, saying, “Kara, you seem to have an insightful understanding of the forces within me, but I don’t quite grasp the essence of yours.
Can you tell me what kind of power exists within your body?”
In truth, while their methods of release were different, both Kara and Wang Cai utilized the same type of power, stemming from the same source.
Yet this power differed from conventional Inner Strength and the force of nature.
Ye Tian couldn’t understand—what kind of power was it?
Facing Ye Tian’s question, Kara replied, “We are attendants of the gods; the power we wield is granted by the gods.
It is a fraction of divine power.
After inheriting such divine power, our strength surpasses that of ordinary Martial Artists, but we are still a long way from matching the gods themselves.”
“Divine power?”
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment.
This was the first he had heard of such a force; he had no understanding of what it truly was.
“What exactly is divine power?”
Ye Tian pressed on, but this time, Kara refrained from delving into specifics.
“Divine power is simply divine power—an unparalleled supremacy.
Compared to the power you possess, it’s on an entirely different level!
With divine power, we can look down upon the Martial Arts World.
Yet, even with divine power, we remain the attendants of the gods because the gods are even mightier!”
“…”
Kara’s words left Ye Tian in silent contemplation.
While he had been aware of the Divine Race’s existence for some time, it was only after encountering Kara in battle that he fully grasped why they ruled this world!
It was precisely because of divine power!
The Divine Race possessed divine power, which was extraordinarily formidable.
Even their attendants, who held only a fraction of this divine power, could outclass Martial Artists in the Martial Arts World.
If the Divine Race wielding complete divine power were involved—how much more terrifying would they be?
The extent of the Divine Race’s strength was likely beyond imagination…
Thinking upon this, Ye Tian remarked inwardly that a figure like Young Master Long from the Divine Race, who indulged in arrogance by virtue of his lineage but neglected to hone his power, was a fool!
If Young Master Long had even slightly cultivated his abilities, his strength would have certainly grown.
He might have avoided being killed by the Purgatory Beast…
Recalling this, Ye Tian thought further about what Ye Zhicang had shared with him—his ties to the Divine Race bloodline; and the revelation from Tian Qi—that both he and the Rakshasa Queen were “stray” members of the Divine Race, making them targets for the Black Hole Clan.
Despite the bitterness in his heart, Ye Tian could only face his destiny head-on!
Even if he had to oppose the entire Divine Race, he must rescue his wife Yun Xinyan!
“So it’s divine power!
If that’s the case, I must uncover just how formidable divine power truly is!”
Speaking as such, Ye Tian drew out the wooden blade, sculpted using the Shu Xin from the millennium ancient tree.
A vibrant Life Weapon force emanated from the wooden blade, accompanied by “zzz!” “zzz!” sounds.
Seeing this, even Kara couldn’t help but show a troubled expression…
“A Life Weapon, and at a not-so-low grade, too—it seems you are indeed a challenging opponent!”
Kara sighed but did not exhibit fear, even with Ye Tian wielding a Life Weapon.
“If so, then let me finish you off in a single strike!
Although Wang Cai’s power is on par with mine, I dislike concealing my strength like him!
I prefer obliterating my opponents instantly!”
Kara spoke coldly.
During Ye Tian’s battle with Wang Cai, the latter had gradually released his power, holding back even as Ye Tian struggled to match him…
Now, Kara seemed prepared to unleash his full might from the start, leaving Ye Tian no room for complacency!
“I feel the urgency as well.
Kara, let’s settle the winner in one move!
Either I kill you or you kill me!”
Ye Tian declared proudly, his boldness undiminished, no matter what adversary he faced.
Within Ye Tian’s body resided a force that grew stronger when encountering formidable foes.
When confronted with the most powerful opponents, this force would erupt in full vigor…
Rather than despair before this formidable adversary, Ye Tian felt an overwhelming excitement—ecstatic beyond his control!
“…”
“…”
Black Widow and Dracula silently observed Ye Tian and Kara.
Unlike Ye Tian’s earlier battles, this fight seemed destined to reach its climax quickly.
Both individuals paid close attention to this critical duel!
“Then—die!”
Having decided to unleash his full strength, Kara held nothing back, shouting as he summoned forth the Blood Bodhi, the favored weapon of the Divine Race attendants.
“Swish, swish, swish, swish~~~~~~”
Propelled by Kara’s force, the Blood Bodhi sped toward Ye Tian like projectiles with a mind of their own.
Ye Tian was well aware of the Blood Bodhi’s lethality, having suffered from them during his clash with Wang Cai…
Thus, Ye Tian dared not take any chances!
With three Blood Bodhi approaching from the front, Ye Tian swung his wooden blade with a mighty sweep, intending to shatter them!
But as the wooden blade cut through the air, it failed to hit the Blood Bodhi.
Instead, they curved mid-flight…
Despite using the “Overspeed Blade” technique, granting his strikes blinding momentum, Kara’s ability to maneuver the Blood Bodhi at such rapid pace left Ye Tian utterly astonished!
Still, Ye Tian had anticipated that the Blood Bodhi would change trajectory.
The three projectiles quickly looped behind him, exploiting the gap left by his swing to strike at three vital acupuncture points along his back.
Ye Tian had no choice but to leap into the air, barely evading the Blood Bodhi’s attack—it was a close call.
“Swoosh!”
While Ye Tian was mid-air, Kara seized the moment to strike—not with punches or palm strikes, but with his hand knife.
Kara’s hand, sharp as a blade, carried power as devastating as any divine weapon, fierce enough for Ye Tian to feel pain upon his cheek even before being struck!
This prompted Ye Tian to swing his wooden blade forcefully in retaliation, aiming directly at Kara’s hand!
“Careful, boy!”
A voice resonated from within the millennial ancient tree’s Shu Xin embedded in the blade, communicating directly with Ye Tian’s mind, only audible to him.
The Shu Xin’s warning made Ye Tian hesitate!
He had been planning to rely on his Life Weapon’s toughness to directly counter Kara’s hand knife, yet now he wasn’t sure what would unfold…
“Crash!”
Suddenly, Ye Tian seemed to glimpse the future.
His wooden blade clashed with Kara’s hand knife—but was utterly overpowered, splintering into fragments!
This revelation showed that Kara’s hand knife possessed strength far beyond what the Life Weapon could withstand.
No wonder the Shu Xin voiced its warning at such a critical moment…
Knowing that his blade would shatter against Kara’s hand knife, Ye Tian immediately altered his approach.
He retracted his move, pulling the blade back and choosing instead to lightly tap Kara’s hand knife with the tip of his foot.
Using the force of this contact, Ye Tian propelled himself several meters higher into the air!
“Huh?”
Kara’s expression shifted to one of surprise; he hadn’t anticipated Ye Tian would withdraw his strike and dodge the lethal blow so deftly.
As Kara hesitated, Ye Tian descended from above—this time, his wooden blade aimed directly at the Baihui point atop Kara’s head!
If the indestructible Life Weapon managed to pierce Kara’s Baihui point, it would be a fatal strike without question.
Yet Kara was no ordinary Martial Artist.
As Ye Tian seized the opening, Kara stirred just slightly.
With a subtle wave of his hand, a gust of wind swept up, throwing Ye Tian off balance and neutralizing the fierce attack in an instant!
“This guy!”
Dangled in mid-air by the gust, Ye Tian struggled to maintain his posture.
If he plummeted now, he’d turn into a sitting duck for Kara.
So Ye Tian activated his flying technique, stabilizing himself in the air!
Kara had foreseen this move.
As Ye Tian arduously regained poise, Kara began channeling power anew and targeted him once more.
This time it wasn’t his hand knife—it was his palm!
Although Ye Tian and Kara had exchanged only half a move, Ye Tian had begun decoding Kara’s fighting style.
The reason Kara’s hand knife could break the Life Weapon lay in his complete infusion of force into his strikes!
Kara’s divine power flowed silently within him, making the potency of his strikes imperceptible to Ye Tian at first…
For most Martial Artists, Kara’s near-untraceable energy flow would grant him an overwhelming advantage.
Fortunately, Ye Tian’s ability to see through such intricacies gave him a significant edge!
“If it’s palm strikes next, I can dodge the Palm Force and counterattack!”
