669: Chapter 665: Silk-Wrapping Strength 669: Chapter 665: Silk-Wrapping Strength Zhang Bo naturally heard the voices of the Ding brothers as well, and he looked at Ye Tian with astonishment.
“Xuanyun Technique?
How could you possibly know the Xuanyun Technique?”
Zhang Bo had only heard of the Xuanyun Technique and had never seen anyone use it.
The mist swirling around Ye Tian indicated that he was indeed using the Xuanyun Technique, but Zhang Bo did not understand how Ye Tian could cultivate such a technique?
“I’ve heard that the Xuanyun Technique is exceptionally difficult to master, and without the guidance of an expert, it’s very easy to become deranged.
How exactly did you cultivate the Xuanyun Technique?”
Zhang Bo pressed, but Ye Tian was too lazy to answer him.
“That’s a secret.
How could I just tell anyone?”
“You…”
Ye Tian’s response provoked another burst of rage in Zhang Bo.
In fact, Ye Tian’s success in mastering the Xuanyun Technique was partly due to luck.
Firstly, he had a strong physique, and secondly, Ye Tian had a deep understanding of medicine and knew very clearly the circulation of qi within the body.
Even so, it had not been easy for Ye Tian when he was cultivating the Xuanyun Technique—he had passed out for three days and nights before overcoming the difficulty…
How could Ye Tian disclose such matters to Zhang Bo?
The mist lingering around Ye Tian gradually disappeared, all of it merging into his body…
At that moment, the gap in Inner Strength between Ye Tian and Zhang Bo had evened out.
Now that they were equally matched in terms of Inner Strength, Ye Tian no longer feared competing with Zhang Bo in this aspect.
Ye Tian continued to infuse his Palm Force into the wooden sword, which, after absorbing the power of Ye Tian’s Xuanyun Technique, gradually became sharp.
Zhang Bo had been firmly gripping the blade of the wooden sword, but suddenly, the sword’s energy surged and wrapped around his hand, leaving numerous cuts.
If he continued to hold the sword tightly, he feared that the energy would render his hand useless!
In desperation, Zhang Bo had no choice but to give up the contest of Inner Strength with Ye Tian…
“Snap!”
Zhang Bo let go of his grip, and Ye Tian too took a step back, maintaining a distance of about a meter or two between them.
“Zhang Bo, now that you’ve used all your strength and still failed to defeat me, you should surrender!”
Ye Tian spoke coldly, a statement that clearly touched a raw nerve in Zhang Bo!
“What did you say!?
Arrogant brat!” Zhang Bo bit his teeth hard, “Don’t think that just because you know the Xuanyun Technique you are invincible.
The world is vast, and there are many more powerful individuals you haven’t encountered yet!
Today, I will open your eyes, boy!”
As he spoke, Zhang Bo stretched out his palm and suddenly slapped fiercely toward Ye Tian.
Ye Tian was not afraid of such an attack; he slightly shifted his body, creating some distance between himself and Zhang Bo.
By doing this, Zhang Bo’s Palm Force could no longer reach him.
But the corners of Zhang Bo’s mouth curled up slightly as his palm struck out, and a mighty Qi Force suddenly hit, not in the direction where Ye Tian was.
“Could he have misjudged?”
Ye Tian was taken aback, but Zhang Bo had already charged forward, swinging his right fist directly at Ye Tian’s face.
The punch was fierce and powerful.
Ye Tian naturally avoided its edge, turning his body to sidestep Zhang Bo’s fist.
But just as Ye Tian dodged, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back!
“Boom!”
A tremendous force exploded on his back, and the blast was not insignificant.
Even Ye Tian’s back was torn apart and bloodied.
“How…”
Ye Tian only felt an intense pain in his back but did not understand how he was struck.
Zhang Bo slowly walked in front of Ye Tian, boasting, “How about it, now you know how powerful my ‘Silk-Wrapping Strength’ is?”
“Silk-Wrapping Strength?”
Ye Tian had never heard of such martial arts, whereas Zhang Bo let out a cold laugh, producing a force in the center of his palm.
“My Qi Force can turn corners, just like silk wrapping around, relentlessly chasing you with no escape.
King of the Night, today is your day to die!”
“What…”
Hearing Zhang Bo’s explanation, Ye Tian’s expression grew grave.
Ever since he started practicing martial arts, Ye Tian knew that Qi Force could only move in a straight line—it couldn’t even turn, let alone be controlled at will.
What Zhang Bo possessed was beyond Ye Tian’s comprehension…
The martial artists of Night King Hall watching from a distance all witnessed the scene of Ye Tian getting injured.
Zhang Bo, as a martial artist, was able to make his Qi Force move like a homing missile, a concept that seemed inconceivable.
Even the Ding brothers were sighing, because they had never seen Zhang Bo employ such a skill; it was clearly Zhang Bo’s trump card!
“This is bad!
We thought that after Ye Tian used the Xuanyun Technique, he could slightly contend against Zhang Bo, but we didn’t expect that guy to still have an ace up his sleeve!”
“Indeed!
If Ye Tian is defeated, all of us here are likely to become lost souls under Zhang Bo’s hand!”
“What do we do?
Should we go and fight him?”
The Ding brothers spoke in turn, causing the martial artists of Night King Hall to feel anxious and unsettled.
“Brothers, be ready to act at any moment.
If our leader falls, we must rise together and spare no expense to save him!”
As the second-in-command of Night King Hall, Ye Xuong issued the command to all the martial artists, who nodded solemnly, fully aware of the gravity of the situation.
After taking a heavy hit, Ye Tian staggered back to his feet.
The injury to his back was severe.
Even with Ye Tian’s sturdy physique, his skin was split and flesh torn, the pain almost too much to bear…
But Ye Tian had to fight because he wasn’t battling alone.
The warriors of Night King Hall and the Ding brothers were all watching this fight.
If he were to lose, the consequences were unimaginable!
“Silk-Wrapping Strength, eh?
It does have a rather pleasant ring to it,”
Ye Tian chuckled bitterly and assumed a new stance.
No trace of pity showed on Zhang Bo’s face.
“King of the Night, you may be endowed with ‘Xuanyun Strength,’ but all you can do is swing around a wooden sword.
You have no idea how to harness the force of nature within you.
So today, you don’t stand the slightest chance!”
Zhang Bo said arrogantly, confirming that Ye Tian had only cultivated the ‘Xuanyun Strength’ cultivation technique.
Just like traditional martial arts, Inner Strength must complement physical skills to be truly effective.
Mere knowledge of Inner Strength would never suffice to defeat an enemy!
Zhang Bo’s Silk-Wrapping Strength was a superior method for harnessing the force of nature!
“Die!”
Zhang Bo suddenly shouted, pushing out with both hands, sending two streams of Qi Force bursting from his palms.
Ye Tian didn’t dare to be careless and quickly dodged aside, but Zhang Bo’s Qi Force didn’t deviate from its trajectory despite Ye Tian’s evasion.
With a flick of his palm, the Qi Force chased after Ye Tian as he ducked away!
Ye Tian was shocked.
He used his Qinggong in an attempt to avoid the Qi Force, but Zhang Bo’s keen eyes quickly spotted Ye Tian’s direction of escape.
The Qi Force turned mid-air, again striking towards Ye Tian.
Suspended in midair, Ye Tian was unable to dodge the pursuing Qi Force and was forced to swing his wooden sword.
“Swoosh!”
With a single swing of the sword, a burst of sword energy clashed with the Qi Force controlled by Zhang Bo.
“Boom!”
The collision between the wooden sword’s energy and the Qi Force caused a massive explosion, its backlash flinging Ye Tian, who was aloft, away.
Ye Tian fell from the sky, his strength drained, unable to deploy the Thousand Catties Drop technique, and he crashed heavily to the ground.
Fortunately for Ye Tian, his body was robust, and the ground was covered with soft mud, so he was temporarily unharmed.
The recent exchange of offense and defense, though Ye Tian had fended off the attack, clearly revealed his disadvantage.
The gap in strength between Ye Tian and Zhang Bo was evidently decided!
“Heh heh heh, stop your futile resistance!
King of the Night, today is the day you die!”
Zhang Bo smiled indifferently and slowly approached Ye Tian.
Ye Tian had underestimated his immense strength; otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought his brothers from Night King Hall here to set a trap!
“Let’s see how many times your wooden sword can block my attacks?”
Zhang Bo laughed, then pushed forward with both hands, releasing two more streams of formidable Qi Force visible even to the naked eye.
Ye Tian tried to dodge, but to his surprise, the two streams of Qi Force burst from Zhang Bo’s palms and then…
suspended motionlessly in the air.
“What’s going on?”
Ye Tian was incredibly puzzled, and at that moment, Zhang Bo pushed his palms forward again.
Two more streams of Qi Force shot out from his hands and stopped in the air.
“Could it be that he can control multiple streams of Qi Force at the same time?”
Ye Tian continuously speculated, and his guess was correct.
Several more streams of Qi Force were conjured by Zhang Bo, and like large fireflies, they hovered in the air, a dazzling and colorful sight.
But Ye Tian understood that these Qi Forces contained power no less devastating than that of small bombs!
“Heh heh heh, King of the Night, where will you run now?”
Zhang Bo laughed suddenly and, with a wave of his hand, sent over ten streams of Qi Force hurtling towards Ye Tian.
There was no room for hesitation.
Ye Tian quickly utilized his Qinggong, dashing toward the depths of the forest.
Within the forest, the trees could provide a barrier.
If Zhang Bo’s Qi Force hit a tree, it would explode, and hence, would be unable to reach him.
However, Zhang Bo’s control over his Qi Force had reached an exquisite level.
Under his manipulation, the Qi Force navigated through the forest without touching any trees, thus not triggering any explosions.
Ye Tian was taken aback and had no choice but to keep dodging with difficulty…
But such evasion wasn’t a long-term solution.
While using his Qinggong to flee, Ye Tian couldn’t help but glance back.
Over ten streams of Qi Force, like an array of homing missiles, stubbornly pursued him, vexing Ye Tian greatly.
“Boss!
Watch out!”
Just as Ye Tian was momentarily distracted, he heard Ye Xuong shout.
Seizing the opportunity of Ye Tian’s hesitation, the ten streams of Qi Force had already made a beeline for his face.
In that critical moment, Ye Tian hastily executed the Thousand Catties Drop technique.
His body sank rapidly, and he plummeted to the ground, causing the Qi Force to miss their target and shoot past him.
