971: Chapter 967: A Draw 971: Chapter 967: A Draw Ye Tian discerned Kara’s techniques, thus silently calculating ways to counterattack in his mind.
While suspended in midair, Ye Tian began using his flying skill, fleeing rapidly toward another direction.
“Ha!”
Kara sneered coldly.
Suddenly, near Ye Tian’s ears, the sound of “whizz, whizz, whizz!” erupted.
Only then did Ye Tian realize that the three Blood Bodhi he had successfully avoided earlier had turned with precision and were darting toward him again.
Left with no way to escape, Ye Tian could only swing his wooden blade and infuse it with immense Life Force!
“Swish!”
The three Blood Bodhi shattered under the blow of Ye Tian’s wooden blade, but that move cost Ye Tian the crucial moment he could have used to avoid Kara’s attack.
“Boom!”
Kara unleashed a palm strike toward Ye Tian, maintaining a four- to five-meter distance.
Though it seemed like an empty swing, in reality, a massive surge of Palm Force erupted from Kara’s palm, directly targeting Ye Tian.
This ferocious Palm Force, a quintessential embodiment of raw power, far exceeded the potency of ordinary palm strikes!
“This guy…”
Ye Tian gritted his teeth in frustration.
Having just destroyed the three Blood Bodhi, he had no time to evade the incoming Palm Force.
Ye Tian steeled himself and prepared to take it head-on.
He summoned every ounce of strength in his body, believing he could at least withstand the Palm Force.
But as the energy closed to within half a meter of him, Ye Tian realized its overwhelming intensity was beyond anything he could resist.
Thus, Ye Tian was forced to use the “Wind and Cloud Combined, Maha Infinity” technique!
Although his mastery of “Maha Infinity” was far from perfected, it could temporarily elevate his strength—a desperate measure born of no other choice.
“Boom!”
Ye Tian’s force collided with Kara’s Palm Force, producing an earth-shattering roar that resembled an explosion.
Though Ye Tian had managed to withstand Kara’s ferocious Palm Force by using every ounce of his strength, the collision of the two forces sent shockwaves through Ye Tian’s body.
His clothes were in tatters, and the intense impact rendered Ye Tian unable to use his flying skill anymore—his body lost balance and plummeted from midair…
“Boss!”
“Boss, are you alright?”
The Widow and Dracula shouted anxiously.
For once, the two could only serve as spectators…
Though Ye Tian and Kara exchanged blows and defenses, the entire conflict transpired in less than five seconds.
Their lightning-fast movements left the Widow and Dracula dazzled.
It was only when Ye Tian’s body fell from the sky that the Widow and Dracula noticed the event unfolding…
However, no matter how worried the Widow and Dracula were about Ye Tian, there was nothing they could do about the fight between Ye Tian and Kara.
To them, this battle was akin to gods clashing…
As Ye Tian hurtled downward, Kara naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
He swiftly closed in, appearing right in front of Ye Tian.
“Slash!”
Despite falling, Ye Tian managed to launch a counterattack, thrusting his wooden blade fiercely toward the approaching Kara.
But Kara did not fear Ye Tian’s assault.
With one deft motion, he deflected Ye Tian’s attack, causing the wooden blade to fly from Ye Tian’s grasp…
Without the blade in his grasp, Ye Tian’s defenses were completely exposed.
Kara’s hand blade surged forward, aiming directly for Ye Tian’s abdomen.
“SHNG!”
Kara’s hand blade was razor-sharp.
Despite Ye Tian’s immense prowess, the blade pierced a few inches into Ye Tian’s abdomen.
Moreover, Kara injected his force into Ye Tian’s body, inflicting internal injuries that caused Ye Tian to spew a large mouthful of blood.
“The outcome is clear—you’re done for!”
Having landed a decisive blow, Kara’s face lit up with triumph.
Clearly, Ye Tian’s strength lagged far behind his own.
In Kara’s mind, Ye Tian stood no chance whatsoever in this fight.
“Ha!”
But despite his severe injury, Ye Tian bore a peculiar smile, one that carried an air of cunning malice.
As his eerie grin spread, a weapon shot forward and stabbed deep into Kara’s back.
Unprepared, Kara was caught off guard.
The weapon was so sharp it nearly struck Kara’s heart!
“Damn it…”
Kara clenched his teeth and was forced to abandon delivering a fatal blow to Ye Tian.
He quickly retreated, putting distance between them before landing on the ground.
Ye Tian also landed on the ground with a smile…
“This is!?”
Kara glanced at the item embedded in his back—it was none other than the wooden blade Ye Tian had previously dropped!
Though Kara had never regarded any Life Weapon with importance, when faced with such a weapon, traveling at full speed and piercing an unguarded target, even Kara had no choice but to suffer grave injury!
“Don’t assume you’re the only one capable of manipulating hidden weapons—so can I!”
Ye Tian sneered.
Though gravely injured himself, he now prevailed over Kara in terms of sheer presence.
As he sneered, Ye Tian condensed the force within himself, retrieving the wooden blade embedded in Kara’s back…
Ye Tian hadn’t originally mastered the technique for controlling hidden weapons telekinetically.
However, after clashing with Kara, he finally uncovered its essential principles…
Ye Tian now possessed the ability to control weapons through his own strength.
It was this newfound skill that lulled Kara into complacency, leading to his downfall.
“You…
You…”
Kara’s gaze burned with fury as he stared at Ye Tian.
What had begun as a moment of complete superiority had devolved into an embarrassing stalemate.
Given the circumstances, Kara realized that continuing the battle might result in injuries so severe that he’d lose his combat abilities entirely…
Yet Kara wasn’t willing to face such a fate!
“Heh heh heh~~~~~ It seems we’ve reached a draw.
However, if we keep fighting, things might not end in a stalemate!”
Ye Tian chuckled.
Though his injuries were no lighter than Kara’s, he had to press on because extracting information from Kara was his ultimate goal.
As Kara observed Ye Tian with wariness, he felt as though Ye Tian had transformed into a demon…
“Ye Tian, though I don’t know who you are, someone of your caliber will undoubtedly rise to prominence in the Martial Arts World sooner or later.
But why would you defy the entire Divine Race by challenging the Indian deities?”
Kara’s words carried a hint of persuasion, yet such attempts weren’t enough to sway Ye Tian…
“Divine Race?
So what of the Divine Race?
If they dare to harm the one I love most, I will ensure they pay the ultimate price!”
Ye Tian declared resolutely, while Kara chose to remain silent.
“…”
Ye Tian stared at Kara intently, suddenly sensing something was amiss!
“Damn it!
He escaped!”
Ye Tian shouted in shock, realizing Kara had used the distraction of their conversation to flee, leaving only an afterimage behind…
“That bastard!
Where did he go?”
“Where is he!?”
The Widow and Dracula also realized Kara had disappeared and began searching wildly, but no matter where they looked, Kara’s trail was nowhere to be found…
Ye Tian’s expression darkened, knowing full well that Kara’s traces were now impossible to uncover…
During his fight with Kara, Ye Tian had already recognized Kara’s unique technique for utilizing energy!
By concentrating his force entirely within his body, rather than letting it leak outward, Kara was able to conserve energy, amplifying its strength for battle!
This method of harnessing energy also allowed his form to vanish quickly during a retreat, making it nigh impossible for even the most adept trackers to locate him…
After searching for some time, the Widow and Dracula ultimately gave up and returned to Ye Tian’s side, despondent.
“Damned bastard!”
Dracula struck a fierce claw, felling the nearby tree in a display of frustration.
His disappointment was palpable.
Ye Tian sighed and said, “If we can’t find him, then let’s not waste time looking.
That guy is strong.
The only reason I managed to end in a draw was because he underestimated me!
If he were fully focused, even with my complete combat ability restored, I might not have been his match!”
Despite exchanging only a few blows, Ye Tian had already gauged Kara’s immense strength—equal to, if not beyond Wang Cai…
Such an adversary was nothing more than a pawn of the Indian deities.
Ye Tian realized that if he ever hoped to challenge the Divine Race, he would need to refine his power further!
Though he had inflicted serious damage on Kara with his Life Weapon, Ye Tian himself was gravely wounded.
For Ye Tian, these wounds compounded atop older ones!
His injuries from battling the false Yun Xinyan had yet to heal, and now he was injured again.
Ye Tian knew he had to prioritize his recovery…
“Boss, are you alright?”
The Widow looked at Ye Tian, battered and bruised, her heart aching with helplessness.
Yet Ye Tian forced a weak smile and replied, “Don’t worry, Alice.
My healing skills are top-notch.
If I’m better than that enemy in one area, it’s definitely my medical expertise and recovery speed!”
Speaking thus, Ye Tian sat down and took out his silver needles.
The silver needles served more than just acupuncture—they were capable of stitching wounds!
Ye Tian’s abdomen bore an ugly gash from Kara’s attack, with blood continuing to flow from the wound—a sight that made hearts ache…
“Widow, my vision’s a bit blurry—you thread the needle for me!”
Handing the silver needle to the Widow, Ye Tian admitted his eyesight had faltered due to excessive blood loss.
Gazing at Ye Tian with concern, the Widow struggled to find words, but she promptly worked under the moonlight, carefully threading the needle for him.
Once threaded, the Widow passed the silver needle back to Ye Tian.
