689: Chapter 685: Men in Black!
At first, rumors within the municipal department stated that Yi Zhongyuan had obtained a massive gemstone, unmatched in brilliance!
Even the department leaders believed it, so they instructed Ji Ming to search Yi Zhongyuan’s home.
However, while the red, glowing gemstone was nowhere to be found, they found only an unremarkable steel spike, leaving Ji Ming somewhat disappointed…
“Captain Ye, in this rooftop vegetable garden, can you find anything else?”
Ji Ming, unwilling to give up, asked again.
Ye Tian looked around once more, then shook his head.
“I’m truly sorry, but there’s nothing here except for this steel spike!”
“Sigh…”
Ji Ming couldn’t help but sigh, knowing that not finding what the leader wanted meant the leader wouldn’t like him, and if the leader didn’t like him, it meant he couldn’t advance and prosper…
Ye Tian silently watched the expression on Ji Ming’s face, noncommittal.
In fact, from the beginning, Ye Tian had been after this steel spike, as for the red gemstone that was the talk among the municipal department’s staff, if Ye Tian wasn’t mistaken, it had probably already been absorbed by Yi Zhongyuan’s body!
“By the way, Secretary Ji, we came here to look for treasures, and now that we have finally found this piece of scrap iron, do you still want it?”
Ye Tian raised the steel spike he held, querying Ji Ming’s preference.
“This…”
Ji Ming closely examined the steel spike in Ye Tian’s hand, noting that it was common and hardly a treasure.
If he took it back to show the leader, he would surely be scolded.
In that case, it might be better to return empty-handed…
“Captain Ye, since it’s not a treasure, we might as well leave it.
Since you find it interesting, take it!”
Ji Ming generously said, and Ye Tian also smiled, saying, “If that’s the case, I gladly accept!”
Just as Ye Tian was about to secure the steel spike, a voice rang out beside his ear—
“Who’s there!
Daring to disturb my rooftop garden!”
A burly man arrived on the rooftop, surveyed the situation, and seeing the ground was even dug into, became furious!
The burly man angrily confronted Ye Tian, challenging, “Was it you who ruined my garden?”
Seeing that this man must be the top-floor resident, and considering his dominating attitude, Ji Ming dared not provoke him and quickly hid behind Ye Tian.
Ye Tian faced the burly man, a head taller than himself, who, although lofty in demeanor, deserved some face since Ye Tian had intruded of his own accord.
“Brother, we just came up for some air, and we didn’t damage your vegetable garden.”
Having obtained what he wanted, Ye Tian felt disinclined to provoke anyone else, preferring peace if possible…
However, the burly man remained unrelenting, and seeing that both Ye Tian and Ji Ming were much shorter than him, his arrogance was very pronounced.
The burly man pointed to the damaged ground, fiercely said, “Kid, you still say you didn’t damage my garden, what is this?
You’ve made a hole in my ground!
If I don’t teach you a lesson, how can I hold my ground here?”
As he spoke, the burly man reached out to grab Ye Tian’s collar.
“…”
Ye Tian gave a wry smile and remained silent, knowing that dealing with this man merely required a flick of his finger to send him flying.
But just as Ye Tian was about to act, he suddenly felt a chilling aura!
This aura shockingly came from above, sending a chill to Ye Tian’s heart!
“Be careful!”
Ye Tian shouted, but both the burly man and Ji Ming, clueless about what Ye Tian was shouting at, just stared blankly at him.
“You lousy kid, who are you telling to be careful?”
The burly man grew a bit annoyed and then swung his fist at Ye Tian.
But Ye Tian didn’t regard the burly man’s fist, he suddenly raised his hand above his head.
In an instant, a hand descended from the sky and clashed with Ye Tian’s hand!
“Boom!”
A massive sound erupted; the strength of both individuals appeared evenly matched.
Upon clashing, Ye Tian’s body also sunk several centimeters into the ground, and the entire old building began to shake from their confrontation.
“Ahhhh~~~~~~~~~”
The burly man and Ji Ming, being closer to Ye Tian, were sent flying by the force of the clash.
Fortunately, they were stopped by the rooftop’s wire fence, otherwise, they would have certainly fallen off the roof…
“Huh?”
The person who had clashed palms with Ye Tian also exclaimed in surprise; he flipped to the ground, standing before Ye Tian.
Ye Tian examined this opponent, similar in height, dressed in black, and masked, but with a much more muscular build, clearly a formidable foe!
“King of the Night, I didn’t expect your strength to have advanced to such an extent, truly admirable.
My move was unable to subdue you!”
The man in black sighed, and Ye Tian knew well that his opponent was extremely powerful, but in Ye Tian’s dictionary, there was no such word as “fear”…
“In this world, I doubt there’s anyone born who can subdue me with one move!
And, someone who doesn’t even dare to reveal their own identity, how could they possibly be my opponent!”
Ye Tian sneered coldly, yet the man in black in front of him didn’t lose his composure.
“King of the Night, you want to know who I am?
But, do you even know who you are?”
The words of the man in black suddenly made Ye Tian extremely bewildered.
This guy, spouting such nonsensical words…
As Ye Tian was astonished, the man in black suddenly vanished!
“What swift movements!”
Ye Tian was startled, and since he could no longer catch the opponent’s attack with the naked eye, he had to rely on his senses to track it!
“Over here!”
Ye Tian roared loudly, clenched his fist, and swung behind him.
“Bang!”
Ye Tian’s fist collided perfectly with that of the man in black, unleashing a violent sound.
The clash of their forces stirred gusts, whistling over the rooftop.
“You’re good!”
The man in black exclaimed again, but he wasn’t discouraged.
Taking advantage of the fact that Ye Tian hadn’t turned around yet, he threw several punches in quick succession, all aimed at Ye Tian’s back!
Ye Tian lightly leaped upwards, dodging the fierce attack.
In an instant, he was already hovering mid-air.
“Measly tricks!”
The man in black also tapped his toes and leaped powerfully, quickly reaching the same height as Ye Tian.
“Clap clap clap clap clap clap~~~~~~~~~”
Without waiting to fall, the two exchanged blows in mid-air, their palms meeting and producing a series of crisp sounds.
The noise was thunderous, stunning Ji Ming and the hefty man atop the rooftop…
“Big brother, didn’t you say you were going to teach him a lesson?
Why aren’t you moving?”
Ji Ming mocked the hefty man beside him, who was naturally terrified!
“Are you joking!?
Asking me to teach him a lesson?
That’s clearly a death wish!”
Although the hefty man was strong, he had never before seen such a master.
This had completely surpassed the realms of martial artists and was clearly something divine!
And Ji Ming was completely dumbfounded!
Initially, he thought the captain of the Yun Corporation’s security team was just good in basic hand-to-hand combat, but now it seemed that Ye Tian was not only skilled in martial arts but was also an unparalleled expert!
He never imagined that Ye Tian was this formidable after having been with him for so long…
At this moment, both the hefty man and Ji Ming were trembling, unable to move or escape.
Thus, they could only stand by in daze, watching the intense battle between Ye Tian and the man in black.
“Clap clap!”
The mid-air exchange left Ye Tian and the man in black again indistinguishable; both landed simultaneously in the rooftop garden.
They didn’t land on the dirt, but directly on the vegetables planted there…
Both were light as a feather, supported entirely by the vegetables, which remained unscathed.
This clearly showed the high proficiency of their Qinggong!
“My God!
They’re actually standing on the leaves of the vegetables, which is even more badass than walking on eggs!”
The hefty man’s eyes were wide open, speechless at the power displayed by Ye Tian and the man in black, surpassing his imagination!
“King of the Night, if we fight seriously, we might both end up injured, so let’s reconcile!
Just hand over the object in your hand, and I assure you, I won’t be your enemy.
How about it?”
The man in black arrogantly said, blatantly trying to take the steel spike from Ye Tian’s hands.
But Ye Tian was not the type to yield easily, coldly replying, “If you want this steel spike, try taking it with your strength.
Those who talk more, are those who lack confidence!”
“You…
refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”
Faced with Ye Tian’s sarcasm, the man in black grew angry and suddenly launched an attack towards him.
Ye Tian could see that the man in black hadn’t used his full strength earlier, but now going all out, Ye Tian naturally did not dare to be negligent.
He summoned all his strength inside him, and faced the attack of the man in black.
The Iron Palm of the man in black lunged toward Ye Tian’s waist!
But Ye Tian swiftly turned, evading the attack of the man in black, who didn’t give up.
He immediately changed his move from Iron Claw to Iron Palm, aiming straight for Ye Tian’s chest.
Seeing no way to dodge, Ye Tian suddenly swung his palm, using a technique to repel the force of the man in black’s attack!
“Crash!”
The Palm Force of the man in black did not hit Ye Tian but struck the iron wire on the rooftop instead.
The wire exploded into a huge hole, yet the force remained strong, smashing directly into the wall of the building across, creating a deep dent.
Both the hefty man and Ji Ming watching widened their eyes, their jaws nearly hitting the floor…
The martial skills of these two were incredibly powerful; just the residual force of the Palm Force had such might.
If it really hit one of them, what chances would they stand?
