795: Chapter 791 Pixiu!!
“I don’t know what happened either, but after being hit by a huge rock, my mind suddenly cleared up, and I understood the workings of the Four Symbols Formation!”
The so-called Four Symbols Formation aims to trap the enemy from the east, south, west, and north, with each direction corresponding to an element: east represents wood, west represents metal, north represents water, and south represents fire!
The Sun Droplet Technique practiced by the Ye family is adept at controlling fire, so breaking the formation from the south is absolutely impossible!”
When the Four Symbols Formation is activated, the initiators can share their cultivation power, so when I tried to break the formation, I was always intercepted.
The combined strength of you all overwhelmed me, and I could not break the formation but was trapped within, left only to await my death.
However, you all overlooked one thing, the Four Symbols Formation is meant to be set up by four people.
With only three of you, the formation seems somewhat unformed, and its power greatly reduced.
Therefore, I seized the opportunity to break through the west!
That should be Ye Zhicang’s defensive position.
If I break through here, only Ye Zhiran from the south and Ye Zhirong from the north can assist in defense.
Since you two are not familiar with this position, you can’t exert your full capabilities, and I can gain the upper hand in strength!
In a battle between masters, victory and defeat can hinge on a single thought.
Since I seized the initiative in strength, breaking the formation naturally followed!”
Ye Tian spoke confidently, each of his sentences piercing right to the heart of the matter!
The three elders of the Ye family looked at each other, not expecting Ye Tian’s insight to be so sharp.
In just a moment, he pinpointed the slight weakness left by Ye Zhicang’s absence in the Four Symbols Formation and used it to immediately crack the formation!
This young martial artist was truly terrifying.
In front of him, the martial arts and formations of the Ye family were almost insignificant…
“Clan Leader, things have come to this, let’s not be too persistent.
As long as Qingshan survives, there’s no fear of running out of firewood!”
Ye Zhirong came to Ye Zhihuan’s side and urged again.
But Ye Zhihuan was already infuriated by Ye Tian, where would he be willing to stop?
“What do you mean ‘things have come to this, let’s not be too persistent’?
Ye Zhirong, our lives are trivial, only the principles of the Ye family are paramount!
The family’s ancestral teachings tell us that anyone who trespasses on our forbidden land must die!
This principle absolutely cannot be violated!”
Seeing Ye Zhihuan getting agitated, Ye Zhirong felt helpless and continued: “But, Clan Leader, if Ye Zhicang is not here, our Four Symbols Formation can’t defeat this youngster.
If we want to keep fighting, we must wait until Ye Zhicang returns!”
Ye Zhirong suggested, but Ye Zhihuan disagreed with this suggestion!
“Opportunity slips away all too easily and won’t come back!
If we just watch this youngster return, once Ye Zhicang rejoins us, I fear we’ll no longer be able to find his trace!
This youngster must die, not later, but now!
As the Clan Leader of the Ye family, even if I use all possible means, I must uphold the honor of the Ye family!”
Ye Zhihuan said fiercely, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on Ye Zhirong’s face.
“Clan Leader, it must not be done!
If we really let that guy go, his power is far beyond our control!
If he erupts, I fear the whole Lianghe Town will suffer!”
Ye Zhirong said earnestly, but Ye Zhihuan was not persuaded.
Ye Zhiran also chimed in, “That’s right!
This youngster breaking the Four Symbols Formation is a great shame to the Ye family, so his crimes of trespassing and breaking the formation cannot be overlooked!”
At this point, Ye Zhirong had nothing more to say.
He was not the Clan Leader, just the fourth elder among the Ye elders, and naturally had no say in this matter.
Ye Zhirong looked at Ye Tian and said slowly: “Young man, although I also didn’t want things to turn out this way, at this point, I’m powerless to change them!
So, you better look out for yourself!”
“What do you mean?”
Ye Tian didn’t quite understand Ye Zhirong’s statement and wanted to ask more, but Ye Zhihuan had already blown his whistle.
Though it was the same whistle, the sound was vastly different from when Ye Zhihuan called his brothers before.
Not only was the whistle sharp, but it was also filled with a murderous aura.
Before the whistle sound ended, Ye Tian felt a rush of wind pressure from above!
Clearly targeting him, Ye Tian dared not hesitate, quickly stepping back to dodge.
“Splash!”
A massive creature fell from the sky, landing where Ye Tian had just been standing, and Ye Tian, seeing this massive creature, was immediately shocked!
This massive creature had the body of a tiger or leopard but a head and tail somewhat dragon-like, shining with a brilliant golden light.
On its shoulders, there were small wings, and on its head, there was a horn!
Ye Tian had never seen such a giant beast before; by its appearance alone, it seemed to be a divine beast, similar to the Great Ape King raised by the Sima Family.
However, the aura exuded by this divine beast was far more imposing than that of the Great Ape King, and even someone as strong as Ye Tian felt a chill in his presence…
“Does such a creature actually exist in the world?”
Ye Tian exclaimed, while Ye Zhihuan immediately looked triumphant.
“Young man, you didn’t expect to push the Ye family to this point!
But no matter how powerful you are, you’re no match for the Ye family’s guardian beast, Pixiu!”
“Guardian beast?”
From Ye Zhihuan’s words, Ye Tian finally learned the name of this divine creature.
Pixiu, these two characters, Ye Tian of course knew them.
It was said that the Pixiu was a mythical creature from ancient times, ferociously incomparable, and among the mythical creatures of the world, few could match the prowess of the Pixiu.
Of course, the most magical aspect of the Pixiu was not its formidable strength, but the fact that it had a mouth but no anus, feeding on the world’s gold and silver treasures…
Thinking of this, Ye Tian faintly thought of something.
Could it be that the Ye family’s poverty was all because of this mythical creature?
What guardian beast, this is clearly a money-losing beast!
“Clan Leader, the three hundred million yuan I donated to the Ye family, it couldn’t already have been consumed by this beast in a ritual, could it?”
Ye Tian asked with a smile.
If the Pixiu truly fed on money, even if the Ye family had been wealthy before, they would have been driven to poverty…
“Where your money has gone is none of your business!
We certainly won’t be returning it to you!”
Ye Zhihuan said fiercely.
Although he did not directly answer Ye Tian’s question, he had obviously inadvertently confessed…
“Clan Leader, stop wasting words with him!
Let the Pixiu kill him!”
Ye Zhiran immediately advised next to Ye Zhihuan, who nodded in agreement.
“You’re right!
With the appearance of the Pixiu, it is impossible not to spill blood!
This time, let this kid who scorns the Ye family see the Ye family’s ultimate assassin’s tool!”
Saying so, Ye Zhihuan once again blew the whistle in his hand, the sound as intense as the beat of a war drum, immediately arousing the Pixiu’s emotions.
“Ao wu~~~~~~”
The Pixiu roared at Ye Tian, the sheer force of the sound wave alone making it hard for Ye Tian to keep his balance, nearly blowing him away.
“What a formidable beast!”
Ye Tian exclaimed, but at that moment, he no longer had time to be astonished as, with a roar, the Pixiu then charged toward Ye Tian, its speed incredibly fast, even quicker than Ye Tian who had deployed his Qinggong!
The claws and teeth of the Pixiu, like sharp blades, glistened with a cold light in the sunlight, making it clear to Ye Tian that the Pixiu’s attack was not something that could be withstood with mere flesh and bone.
Facing such a ferocious attack, Ye Tian could only swing his wooden sword fiercely at the Pixiu…
Generally speaking, although the attacks of mythical creatures are powerful, they don’t defend well because their minds are limited, unlike humans.
This time, Ye Tian intended to defend by attacking, so he didn’t hold back at all, channeling all his strength through his body into the Life Force within the wooden sword, striking at the Pixiu before him.
“Zzzz!”, “Zzzz!”…
Electricity wreathed the wooden sword, and in a flash, Ye Tian struck the neck of the Pixiu with it.
“I’ve struck true!”
Ye Tian was joyful inside, knowing the neck was a vital area for both humans and beasts.
If struck there, it would not remain unscathed.
But unexpectedly, though Ye Tian’s sword struck the Pixiu’s neck, the scales there were exceptionally hard, so much so that even the indestructible Life Weapon was effective.
“Such tough skin!”
Ye Tian sighed, and in that breath, the Pixiu switched from defense to attack, its claw suddenly reaching for Ye Tian.
“Oh no!”
Ye Tian cried out, still amazed by the Pixiu’s tough scales, having forgotten how to dodge.
Seeing the Pixiu’s claw about to strike his chest, Ye Tian could only use his wooden sword to parry, but even that was too late.
“Boom!”
Although the Pixiu’s claw did not strike Ye Tian, it caught the wooden sword he was holding.
The force of that blow was more than Ye Tian could withstand.
A massive force traveled through the wooden sword into Ye Tian’s body, jolting him so hard he spat blood, and he had to retreat several steps…
In his battle with the three elders of the Ye family, Ye Tian had not sustained serious injuries, just a slight disorder in his internal energy.
But the blow from the Pixiu had done severe internal damage!
The power of this mythical creature was beyond description.
Even if the Sima Family sent a hundred of their Great Apes, they wouldn’t match this single Pixiu!
After taking a heavy hit from the Pixiu, Ye Tian could only carefully regulate his internal energy, but how could he fully recover in such a short time?
The mythical creature before him was not a vegetarian.
Would it simply watch him heal?
