773: Chapter 769: Battle with the Man in Red 773: Chapter 769: Battle with the Man in Red “Think you can leave?
Not so fast!”
Ye Tian certainly wasn’t about to watch the man in red get away.
He swung his wooden sword, then leapt onto the treetops as well.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The wooden sword created gusts of blade wind that headed straight for the man in red.
The man in red, who had never seen such a sharp blade wind, wasn’t remiss and leaped again, rising high into the air to dodge the blade wind of the wooden sword.
“Don’t think you’re safe just because you’ve jumped!
Take this!”
Ye Tian smiled coldly; now that the man in red was suspended mid-air, he was like a live target to him.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~~”
The blade wind chased after the man, far more powerful than before.
With nowhere to leverage in mid-air, it looked like he could do nothing but let Ye Tian carve him up.
“Don’t underestimate me!”
The man in red shouted, then a surge of power erupted from his body.
Ye Tian saw the energy spilling out, and the man shot up several meters, dodging the blade’s edge.
Ye Tian was slightly shocked.
Watching the man in red dodge his blade wind without any leverage in the air yet managing to move smoothly, it was a technique he had seen before, just like the Divine Ape King kept by the Sima Family and Sima Feng himself.
Which is to say, this man in red could fly!
After dodging the blade wind, the man in red stayed hovering mid-air, confirming that he indeed had the ability to fly freely.
The man in red, looking down on Ye Tian, smirked and said, “Kid, you didn’t expect me to be able to fly, did you?
Against a martial artist like you who can’t fly, I’m not even concerned!
I won’t entertain you anymore, I’m off!”
With that, the man in red intended to leave, but a smile crossed Ye Tian’s face…
“You think just because you can fly, I’m powerless against you?
Let me tell you, I’ve killed more than a few flying martial artists!
You’re not the first, and you won’t be the last!”
Ye Tian swung his wooden sword fiercely towards the treetop, and a sharp blade wind followed, shredding the leaves and scattering them in the air.
The force of the blade wind sent leaves soaring high, some reaching right in front of the man in red!
“Damn it!”
The man in red shouted, but it was too late.
Ye Tian, using the power of the leaves, leapt up and arrived in front of him.
“Die!”
Ye Tian didn’t use his sword but struck out with a palm at the man in red, who wouldn’t dare to be sloppy and swiftly countered with his own palm.
“Bang!”
Their palms collided, Ye Tian having used seventy percent of his strength, while the man in red gave it his all.
Unfortunately for the man in red, even his full strength was no match for Ye Tian’s seventy percent.
After the collision, he felt an immense force invade his body, causing his insides to churn, and his internal energy flow became erratic.
“Hehehe~~~~~”
Ye Tian laughed; he had long known that this man in red specialized in Qinggong, so in terms of strength, he was likely no match for Ye Tian.
The result of their palm clash confirmed Ye Tian’s suspicions, and it seemed the man before him was now at his mercy!
“Oh my god!
Run!”
Seeing how formidable Ye Tian was, the man in red didn’t dare think about fighting any longer and immediately used his flying technique to try and escape the battle.
Initially, the man in red thought that since Ye Tian couldn’t fly, he wouldn’t be able to catch up, but little did he know, Ye Tian was well-prepared for this.
The man in red hadn’t flown more than three to five meters before Ye Tian pushed off with his feet, leveraging on the leaves suspended in mid-air.
This action was timed just right, and Ye Tian once again closed in on the man in red.
“Boom!”
Ye Tian landed a heavy punch right into the man in red’s stomach.
The force made the man feel like his belly was about to burst open.
At that moment, the man in red couldn’t maintain his flight and fell heavily from mid-air, crashing to the ground.
“Crash!”
Due to the man’s large frame and the fierce momentum of his fall, several big trees were toppled by his descent…
After the man in red hit the ground, Ye Tian swiftly performed the Thousand Catties Drop technique, rapidly descending and arriving in front of the man.
Now lying on the ground barely alive after Ye Tian’s heavy blow, the man in red had no strength left to flee…
“Now, tell me, who are you?
Why are you spying on my home?”
Ye Tian demanded coldly.
After their confrontation, questioning the man in red about his identity was much easier than before.
The man in red surely didn’t dare hide anything anymore…
“Brother!
This is all a misunderstanding!
Everything’s a misunderstanding!”
The man in red, seeing Ye Tian’s aggressive approach, hurriedly spoke up to beg for mercy, his tone already lacking the sharpness from before!
“My senior brother and I were just here to watch the excitement, really.
We followed the lightning here, curious to see which powerful individual was cultivating.
We didn’t expect to be discovered in the end!
Believe me, I’m not lying!”
“You say you and your senior brother both came together?”
Ye Tian frowned slightly upon hearing the man in red.
He had only sensed one person on the roof of his house.
Where exactly was the other person?
“Yes!
My senior brother and I came together!”
The man in red quickly nodded vigorously.
“My senior brother is much stronger than I am, so you didn’t notice him.
And he has a bit of a lecherous streak, his purpose for peeping was definitely not to watch a strong fighter.
If there’s a woman, that guy would stick around!”
“Damn it!”
Ye Tian was taken aback by the man in red’s words and didn’t dare delay, swiftly turning back!
While he might be able to extract more information from the man in red, for Ye Tian, these details were not the most urgent matter at hand.
The most urgent thing was Yun Xinyan’s safety!
Earlier, when Ye Tian was practicing the cultivation technique taught to him by Master Zhang, he was concentrating with all senses dulled.
Therefore, as soon as his senses returned, Ye Tian immediately sensed someone on the roof.
However, at that time, Ye Tian had only detected the man in red alone, not the senior brother the man in red spoke of…
Now, after chasing the man in red for so long, with no one to guard the villa, Yun Xinyan was alone and could have easily faced danger!
Therefore, Ye Tian had to hurry back without stopping!
No matter what the situation or whatever intelligence he might gather, nothing was more important than Yun Xinyan’s safety.
Ye Tian accelerated to full speed, using his qinggong, rushing towards Jiang City.
After an hour of sprinting, he finally returned home…
“Wife!”
Ye Tian shouted, fearing the worst for Yun Xinyan.
However, a crisp female voice came from the house!
“Ye Tian, you’re back?”
It was Yun Xinyan’s voice.
Yun Xinyan walked out from the bedroom, having taken a bath, dressed in her pajamas, seemingly ready to go to sleep.
Seeing the anxious look on Ye Tian’s face, Yun Xinyan was startled and hurriedly asked, “Ye Tian, you left for half a day as soon as you went out.
What happened?
Why are you sweating so much?”
“It’s nothing…
It’s nothing…”
As long as Yun Xinyan was unharmed, all was well.
Compared to that, what did it matter if he was a bit tired?
“Wife, did you see any strange people near the house?”
Ye Tian asked carefully.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Xinyan responded, “How could there be any strange people around the house?
The security here is very good.
Even if there was a thief, they would be driven away!”
In Yun Xinyan’s view, the security measures in the villa complex were quite strict.
But compared to those martial artists, the security guards within the villa were insignificant, especially to those with good qinggong, moving in and out of the villa complex was as easy as reaching into a bag!
Of course, Ye Tian didn’t suspect Yun Xinyan, because she wouldn’t lie to him.
From Yun Xinyan being completely unharmed, it could be seen that everything at home remained as usual during his absence, without any mishap.
So it seemed, the “senior brother” the man in red mentioned was a complete fabrication.
With his own abilities, if two bad guys had come to his house, how could Ye Tian only have seen one?
It was probably because the man in red wanted to escape that he spun such a lie, and that lie did indeed save him from a predicament…
Yet, Ye Tian did not regret rushing back home.
After all, for him, Yun Xinyan’s safety was still the most important thing, and he desired nothing else.
“Ye Tian, you dashed out earlier in such haste.
What was it all for?”
Yun Xinyan asked worriedly.
Ye Tian smiled and said, “There was a thief on the roof, I went to chase the thief!”
“Really!?”
Yun Xinyan was startled.
A thief entering the house was not a good sign, so she needed to know the full story.
“What happened in the end?
Was there any loss in the house?”
Yun Xinyan asked urgently.
Ye Tian smiled and said, “Don’t worry, nothing was taken from the house, and that little thief, I’ve already chased him off!”
With that, Ye Tian swept Yun Xinyan up in his arms!
“Ye Tian, what are you doing?
Put me down!”
They were just talking normally, and suddenly he lifted her up.
Yun Xinyan was taken by surprise and began to struggle, her feet kicking randomly, but to no avail.
Ye Tian held Yun Xinyan tightly, not giving her a chance to break free.
After a token struggle, Yun Xinyan stopped resisting…
