701: Chapter 697: Ye Tian VS Ye Zhirong 701: Chapter 697: Ye Tian VS Ye Zhirong “So it is!”
Ye Zhirong couldn’t help but sigh.
He hadn’t expected that using the “Sun Palm” would reveal his identity.
However, had he not used the “Sun Palm” back then, it wouldn’t have been so easy to steal the Ice Heart Awl from Ye Tian.
Every gain comes with a loss, and Ye Zhirong appeared to be helpless…
Ye Tian continued, “After discovering your identity, I brought in a master of deception, falsely claiming that the funds in your bank card had been stolen, luring you to the Jiangcheng police station.
I never expected the great Ye family to care so much about money, to be toyed around by my trick!”
“You little scoundrel!”
Ye Tian’s words enraged Ye Zhirong, causing him to clench his fists tightly.
The Ye family indeed cared greatly about money because the entire family was short of money…
Furthermore, due to his advanced age, he was completely clueless about bank card scams and telecommunications fraud, which had led him to fall into Ye Tian’s trap…
Observing Ye Zhirong grinding his teeth in rage brought a slight smile to Ye Tian’s face.
The expression on his opponent’s face was truly satisfying!
“Ye Zhirong, you tricked me once, and I’ve tricked you once, so now, we are even!”
“Even?
Are you kidding me about being even?”
Ye Tian’s words elicited a cold laugh from Ye Zhirong, Ye Tian distinctly heard a hint of murderous intent in his words.
“King of the Night, do you realize how much trouble your actions have caused us?
If it weren’t for the fact that you guard Jiangcheng, I could easily kill you with one palm strike!”
“Kill me?”
As the King of the Night, Ye Tian was not easily intimidated.
Ye Zhirong’s threat to kill him with one palm strike naturally prompted a rebuttal.
“Ye Zhirong, you talk big, but whether you can kill me isn’t up to you, our combat will decide!”
“Of course, if you return the Ice Heart Awl you stole from me, I might let bygones be bygones and spare your life!”
Ye Tian’s words greatly irritated Ye Zhirong!
“Spare my life?
King of the Night, don’t be so arrogant!
You’ve practiced Xuan Yun Technique for less than a month and dare to challenge our Ye family?
If you continue this way, meeting a stronger opponent will only lead to a dead end for you!”
Ye Zhirong threatened, and Ye Tian could hear that this man was not merely bluffing.
His strength was indeed not enough, but he was not about to let Ye Zhirong belittle him unreasonably…
Therefore, Ye Tian took a stance and said, “Let’s see who ends up on a dead end, Ye Zhirong.
Today, let us have a thrilling battle!”
“Hmph!
Then taste my power!”
Ye Zhirong sneered coldly and swung his palm, then ferociously struck towards Ye Tian.
“Sun Palm!”
Ye Zhirong cried out loudly, Ye Tian knew this palm strike involved a bright light to blind the enemy’s eyes, so he hurriedly closed his eyes.
However, after closing his eyes, Ye Tian didn’t feel any energy; instead, he heard a series of vigorous footfalls!
“Damn it!”
Ye Tian cried out, realizing he had been tricked.
Ye Zhirong hadn’t used the Sun Palm; it was just a feint, while he had already used Qinggong to flee towards the outskirts of Jiangcheng…
“Stop!”
The situation unfolding suddenly, Ye Tian immediately chased after him on horseback.
It had been hard to lure this man out; he couldn’t just let him go now.
Both Ye Zhirong and Ye Tian exhibited exceptional Light Skill Steps, flying through the air like in a flight, leaving the nearby citizens of Jiangcheng police station agape with astonishment.
“How can those two people fly up like that?
I really didn’t expect someone to be shooting a movie at the entrance of the municipal public security bureau, I have no idea what movie it is!”
“Who said it’s a movie?
These two men are really flying!”
“My god!
Really or not?
Can humans jump so high?
Why don’t they participate in the Olympics and bring glory to our country?”
“So awesome!
I always thought Chinese kung fu was fake, but now I see it’s truer than real gold!”
…
Meanwhile, Wang Ke’er, who had been drinking coffee in a café, also came out, witnessing Ye Tian and that mysterious old man fighting.
Her heart was filled with anxiety.
If these two wreaked havoc near the municipal public security bureau, what would she do?
However, fortunately, it seemed that the old man did not wish to engage Ye Tian in combat, which slightly reassured Wang Ke’er…
The old man had fled, and Ye Tian desperately chased after him.
Wang Ke’er certainly didn’t want the two to clash within Jiang City!
“Ye Tian, you bastard!
Take your fight outside!
Do you know how much trouble you’re causing the citizens of Jiang City?”
Wang Ke’er cursed fiercely, but at that moment, how could Ye Tian hear her voice?
“King of the Night, stop wasting your energy, you can’t catch up with me!”
Seeing that Ye Tian was following closely, Ye Zhirong quickened his pace, stepping onto the rooftop of a tall building and then lightly leaping to another building’s rooftop.
“Hmph!
It’s not yet decided who will lose or win!”
Ye Tian smiled slightly.
Though he had once suffered under Ye Zhirong’s trickery, in terms of Qinggong, he believed himself second to none!
Thus, Ye Tian also sped up, his body darting between the skyscrapers of Jiang City.
Ye Zhirong, always maintaining a distance of more than ten meters from Ye Tian, did not intend to hide.
Ye Tian pursued indignantly, utilizing every trick he knew.
It’s worth mentioning that after Ye Tian had learned the “Xuanyun Technique,” his Qinggong hadn’t improved much.
Therefore, Ye Tian guessed that the force of nature might not substantially enhance a person’s speed.
Consequently, in the current situation, even if Ye Zhirong was formidable, he wouldn’t be able to shake off Ye Tian immediately.
Ye Tian’s relentless pursuit was bound to be somewhat effective…
Ye Zhirong and Ye Tian, one after the other, chased through the city.
Both moved extremely fast, faster than the vehicles on the highway, and soon, they reached the outskirts of Jiang City.
The outskirts of Jiang City, unlike the urban area, lacked tall buildings, featuring only forests and farmlands, and some winding rural roads.
“Let’s settle it here!”
Ye Zhirong chose a dense forest and then executed the “Thousand Catties Drop,” plunging into the thicket.
Ye Tian didn’t hesitate.
He followed right after, thinking Ye Zhirong would use the terrain of the forest to escape, only to find Ye Zhirong had ceased to run.
Now, Ye Tian stood facing Ye Zhirong…
“Ye Zhirong, did you stop on purpose?”
Ye Tian asked curiously, and Ye Zhirong smiled slightly.
“King of the Night, since you’re clinging to me like gum, I have no escape but to fight you.
However, if we were to clash in the urban area, innocent people might get hurt.
That’s why I led you here!”
Ye Zhirong explained, and the opponent in front of Ye Tian was different from those he had encountered before; this one actually cared about the lives of others.
Looking at Ye Zhirong again, after running several dozen kilometers, he was neither flush nor breathless and spoke with even breath, showing his plentiful Inner Strength.
“King of the Night, are you assessing my Inner Strength?”
Ye Zhirong asked with a smile.
Ye Tian was startled.
Could this guy read minds?
How could he know what Ye Tian was thinking?
“Actually, your Inner Strength is also admirable.
After running such a long distance, you’re hardly short of breath.
I knew if we kept it up, we’d both spend our energy on running, so I stopped to confront you instead!”
Ye Zhirong talked openly.
Ye Tian looked at him curiously and asked, “Ye Zhirong, who are you, really?
I don’t think you’re a bad person!”
Ye Tian spoke earnestly, even though the guy in front of him had set a trap for him and stolen the Ice Heart Awl.
Nevertheless, his actions didn’t seem unforgivable.
Indeed, this made Ye Tian perplexed!
But Ye Zhirong scoffed, “King of the Night, a person’s feelings are often the least reliable.
You think I’m not a bad person, but I’m rotten to the core!”
“…”
Admitting he was a bad person was indeed unexpected for Ye Tian.
It seemed that if Ye Tian didn’t defeat him, it was unlikely he’d get any clues from him!
“Ye Zhirong, since you refuse to say anything, I will have to force you to speak!”
Saying this, Ye Tian began channeling the Xuanyun Technique within him, aiming to suppress Ye Zhirong right from the start!
“Hmmm~ Is it the Xuanyun Technique?
But, whether you can make me speak will depend on your skills!”
Ye Zhirong didn’t hold back either; his energy surged within him, immediately enveloping his body in waves of light!
The clouds around Ye Tian and the light surrounding Ye Zhirong contrasted sharply.
Though the state of absorbing the force of nature differed, a formidable power was palpable from both of them!
After absorbing the surrounding force of nature, Ye Tian felt refreshed and energized.
Clenching his fists, at that moment, his fists possessed the strength of thousands!
Even so, Ye Tian dared not be careless.
He eyed Ye Zhirong, whose surrounding light had all been absorbed into his body.
Now, although the light no longer shone on Ye Zhirong’s surface, Ye Tian could distinctly feel that the light’s power had merged into Ye Zhirong’s body.
Subconsciously, Ye Tian felt that his opponent was very strong—extremely strong!!
“King of the Night, are you scrutinizing the power within my body?”
As Ye Tian observed Ye Zhirong’s power, Ye Zhirong suddenly spoke, startling Ye Tian, who quickly asked, “Ye Zhirong, how do you know what I’m thinking?”
Ye Zhirong said with a smile, “I not only know you’re scrutinizing my power, but I also know that your eyes can see beneath the surface!”
