614: Chapter 610: Force of Nature 614: Chapter 610: Force of Nature “Know thyself, know thy enemy, a hundred battles without peril!
The boss is currently investigating the strength of the opponent!”
Ye Xuong, who knew Ye Tian best, explained.
As soon as the words were out, Ye Tian, who was dodging Deng Xi’s attacks, suddenly launched a counterattack!
“Bang!”
In mid-air, the fists of Ye Tian and Deng Xi collided.
Both men were sent flying by the powerful force, but neither lost their balance, landing steadily on the ground.
It was the first time Ye Tian had struck back, using only fifty percent of his strength.
Yet, just fifty percent was enough to stand up against Deng Xi, who was going full out!
Deng Xi was utterly stunned, looking at his opponent in disbelief!
The person standing before him was indeed a martial artist, and the power he used was indeed ordinary Inner Strength.
But this power was so potent, not at all inferior to his own.
Who exactly was this martial artist…
“Do you think that by mastering some magical force, you are invincible?
The real ‘frog in the well’ is not me, but you!”
Ye Tian said coldly, with a tone full of disdain.
Deng Xi was suddenly filled with panic.
How could a mere martial artist suppress his own momentum!
Just how strong was this martial artist?
“Why, how could just a martial artist’s Inner Strength contend with my ‘force of nature’?”
Deng Xi’s eyes showed a puzzled look, while Ye Tian found his choice of words rather interesting.
“Force of nature?
What is that?”
Deng Xi roared!
“The force of nature I wield is unbeatable!
You, a mere martial artist, dare to stand above me!
I’ll take your life!”
While shouting, Deng Xi pushed his strength to the limit.
His hands, like huge pincers, came at Ye Tian from both left and right.
This attack was much fiercer than any Deng Xi had launched before.
Ye Tian did not dare to be negligent, summoning his inner force and spreading his hands to block Deng Xi’s attack!
“Bang!”
Both men froze, as if time had stopped.
In reality, this was a contest of strength between Ye Tian and Deng Xi!
Proud of his force of nature, Deng Xi had been confident he could defeat an ordinary martial artist using Inner Strength.
However, Ye Tian’s strength exceeded his expectations.
To stand against the force of nature with ordinary Inner Strength was unimaginable to Deng Xi…
“Snap!”
The result of their contest of strength was revealed.
Deng Xi, despite all his tricks, could not move Ye Tian.
Instead, he was sent flying by a sudden kick from Ye Tian!
Deng Xi fell to the ground in a sorry state, spitting blood…
“You, how can your Inner Strength be so strong?
How can an ordinary martial artist possess such power?”
Deng Xi watched Ye Tian, trembling.
In this world, it should be impossible for a martial artist to train to such a level with mere Inner Strength!
And Ye Tian took a step towards Deng Xi!
“Answer my question!
Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
There wasn’t a hint of mercy in Ye Tian’s words, and the martial artists of Night King Hall, seeing Ye Tian’s advantage, closed in the circle.
Everyone watched Deng Xi coldly, determined to extract the information they wanted from him!
“Speak!
What is this force of nature?”
Ye Tian asked directly, but Deng Xi was not willing to go down without a fight.
“Hehehe!
You want to know what the force of nature is?
I’ll show you!”
Saying so, Deng Xi raised his right hand.
In it, he tightly clutched the wooden knife he had obtained from Xue Yunfu, which glinted dazzlingly in the night, forcing everyone to shield their eyes.
Even Ye Tian was shocked by the brightness.
He’d never seen the wooden knife shine like this when he used it!
Could it be that in Deng Xi’s hands, the wooden knife could unleash even greater power?
Soon, the light from the knife faded, and as people opened their eyes, they saw the wooden knife in Deng Xi’s hand swathed in flashes of lightning.
“Sizzle!” “Sizzle!”…
A series of sounds revealed the mighty power of the knife, forcing even a formidable fighter like Ye Xuong to step back.
In the midst of all, only Ye Tian stood unflinchingly still…
“Hehe!
Do you know what’s in my hand?
This is a Life Weapon!
Although this Life Weapon isn’t mine, it’s more than enough to deal with you clowns!”
Deng Xi said with smugness.
This wooden knife was not only a secondary Life Weapon, but it had also absorbed the power of the Peach Wood Sword unearthed from an ancient tomb, making it much more powerful than it was at first!
With the wooden knife in hand, Deng Xi was fearless.
He lifted the knife high, not using any strength, just letting it drop by its own weight.
“Get out of the way!”
Ye Tian shouted, and the martial artists of Night King Hall immediately scattered.
“Whoosh!”
There was a loud crash, and the energy from the knife ripped a deep fissure into the ground, turning dozens of trees into sawdust.
All were amazed at the gentle drop’s strength—what kind of power would be unleashed if he went all out!
“Boss, what should we do?”
Ye Xuong asked Ye Tian nervously if Deng Xi really could bring out the power of the wooden sword, it would surely be very tricky!
“It’s fine!
You all step back!”
Ye Tian ordered all the martial artists, and they all hid behind him.
Deng Xi looked at Ye Tian with astonishment.
How could there be no trace of fear on Ye Tian’s face when his Peach Wood Sword had already shown such power?
“Hehehe!
Stop pretending!
Do you think you can withstand my Life Weapon?”
Deng Xi didn’t believe that Ye Tian, a mere martial artist with a flesh-and-blood body, could withstand a Life Weapon!
“Can you kill me?”
But Ye Tian coldly retorted, not taking the Peach Wood Sword in Deng Xi’s hand seriously at all!
“You…”
Deng Xi, unable to contain his anger, clenched his teeth tightly and poured all his strength into the Peach Wood Sword, which immediately made a “crackling” sound.
The force of nature within Deng Xi’s body and the power within the Peach Wood Sword complemented each other.
Thus, the combined force was even greater than when Ye Tian used the sword before!
“How dare you scorn the Life Weapon?
Today, I shall split you in two!”
Deng Xi swung the Peach Wood Sword down fiercely, unstoppable, and Ye Xuong immediately screamed—
“Boss, run!”
But Ye Tian didn’t dodge or evade, allowing Deng Xi’s slash to come down!
“Crash!”
The strike was ferocious, and with a loud noise, the ground behind Ye Tian split in two like the sea parted by Moses.
It seemed as if the entire mountain had been split by this strike, and for a moment, sand and rocks flew, and dust filled the air…
“Hehehe~~~~”
Deng Xi wore a ferocious smile, confident that after such a strike, Ye Tian couldn’t possibly still be alive—he must have been torn to pieces!
“Boss…”
Ye Xuong and the other martial artists all looked dejected, not expecting that the supreme warrior, the King of the Night, would fall to his own weapon…
As the dust slowly cleared, a figure stood imposingly amidst the haze!
Who could it be if not Ye Tian?
That earth-shattering strike didn’t injure him at all??
“This, this can’t be…”
Deng Xi’s face showed a look of panic.
How could Ye Tian be completely unharmed by the ferocious blow of his own Life Weapon?
“Boss!”
The martial artists from Night King Hall excitedly shouted, the King of the Night was still alive, and so was the Night King Hall!
“How can you possibly be alive?
That strike just now clearly hit you!”
Deng Xi asked with trembling trepidation, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes!
But Ye Tian appeared exceptionally calm.
He reached out toward Deng Xi, who hastily withdrew his hand, fearing Ye Tian would seize the Peach Wood Sword.
But Deng Xi’s hand froze, a powerful inner strength preventing him from pulling back!
This strength, unexpectedly coming from the Peach Wood Sword, astounded Deng Xi, who stared blankly at Ye Tian…
“Could it be that you are the true master of this Life Weapon?”
The fact that such a powerful strike hadn’t harmed Ye Tian at all could only mean one thing: Ye Tian was the true owner of the Peach Wood Sword!
“Why is this happening?
Why is this happening?
It was supposed to be mine after just a few days in seclusion!”
By now, Deng Xi had entirely lost his composure, continuously muttering to himself.
Ye Tian couldn’t quite understand what he meant.
As the Peach Wood Sword itself started to resist Deng Xi, Ye Tian easily snatched it back from Deng Xi’s hand.
“Sizzle!”
After reclaiming the Peach Wood Sword, Ye Tian felt a powerful force emanating from it.
This force was stronger than the sword’s previous power, obviously integrating the strength of the Peach Wood Sword with the force of nature inherent to Deng Xi.
The gain was considerable between the give and take…
However, for Ye Tian, the increased power of the Peach Wood Sword was not enough to excite him; he had a whole host of questions to ask Deng Xi!
“Tell me everything you know.
If you come clean, I will spare your life!”
At this moment, Deng Xi had no will to fight, and it would certainly be easy to extract information from him.
“I, I…”
Deng Xi’s face was aghast, his mouth trembling, unable to utter a single word.
All the martial artists gathered around, and without the Peach Wood Sword, Deng Xi was a trapped turtle, with no chance of escaping!
“Wooooo~~~~~~~~~~”
As Ye Tian was about to press Deng Xi for answers, a strange sound suddenly came to their ears; it was like a flute, very eerie.
“What’s that sound?”
The martial artists of Night King Hall exclaimed in alarm, all powerful with Inner Strength.
So when they heard this strange noise, they all felt their energy roiling, feeling very uncomfortable.
