Chapter 856 - 856 852 The Three Elders of the Ye Family Enter Battle


856: Chapter 852: The Three Elders of the Ye Family Enter Battle 856: Chapter 852: The Three Elders of the Ye Family Enter Battle “Another Carefree Pill!”


Ye Zhirong scoffed as he spoke.


The medicine the Three Ghosts had just taken was the Carefree Pill, a secret drug from Heaven’s Gate.


After consumption, it could dramatically enhance one’s martial abilities for a short duration, but it also inflicted grievous side effects on the body.


Ye Zhirong had always been disdainful of such opportunistic methods, yet under the current circumstances, all he could do was watch helplessly…


After ingesting the Carefree Pill, the Red Ghost, Blue Ghost, and White Ghost felt an invigorating surge of spirit, and the three stood upright.


Though their fight with the Ding Brothers had left them significantly wounded, the exhilarating effects of the Carefree Pill made them forget their injuries for the moment!


From their bodies emanated waves of wind power, an overwhelming aura that engulfed the entire cave in the wind force of the Three Ghosts!


“Those three scoundrels—now they’re fighting a losing battle.


They finally understand who they’re dealing with!”


“The strength of the Three Ghosts was already above these brothers’.


Now, after taking the Carefree Pill, how could they possibly be defeated by just three insignificant outer disciples from Heaven’s Gate?”


Sima Kuan and Xu Ziwen sneered coldly as they remarked.


At this stage, the Ding Brothers indeed had no chance of victory.


Yet, faced with the aggressive aura of the Red Ghost, Blue Ghost, and White Ghost, the Ding Brothers showed no trace of fear on their faces—only a resolute determination to face death without flinching!


“Brother, this time we’ll likely perish with them!”


“But, if our sacrifice can preserve Big Brother’s life, it will be worth it!”


Ding Er and Ding San gathered around Ding Da, speaking firmly.


Ding Da nodded resolutely and said, “You’re right.


Big Brother has shown us kindness by recognizing our worth.


Though our time in Night King Hall has been brief, it has given us, the three brothers, a sense of purpose.


To sacrifice for Big Brother—we are willing!”


With that, Ding Da, Ding Er, and Ding San turned around and knelt on one knee before Ye Tian.


At this moment, Ye Tian had his eyes closed, completely focused on expelling the poison.


He was unable to witness the actions of the Ding Brothers and could not hear their voices…


Yet even so, the Ding Brothers remained devoutly sincere!


Sima Kuan, heir of the Sima Family, noticed this and couldn’t help but smirk…


As far as he knew, the Sima Family ruled its martial artists through sheer force and coercion.


While their subordinates obeyed, they lacked the kind of fervent loyalty the Ding Brothers demonstrated for Ye Tian.


What means did Ye Tian possess to command such heartfelt allegiance from his martial artists?


That was something Sima Kuan could not fathom…


At this moment, Sima Kuan couldn’t help but feel that Ye Tian was not just a threat to the Sima Family but also a threat to other grand factions in the martial world!


“What are you waiting for?


Kill these three ants now!


Then proceed to slaughter Ye Tian!”


Sima Kuan barked his order fiercely upon noticing the Ding Brothers’ attempts to stall for time.


Of course, the Three Ghosts dared not disobey Sima Kuan’s order.


They pushed their cultivation to its peak, and then the Red Ghost, Blue Ghost, and White Ghost each launched an attack toward Ding Da, Ding Er, and Ding San.


“Here they come!


Ding Er, Ding San—this time, let’s show these Sima scum the true spirit of Night King Hall’s martial artists!”


Facing the ferocious assault, Ding Da remained fearless while directing his two younger brothers.


“Understood, Brother!”


“We’ll give it our all!”


Ding Er and Ding San declared resolutely.


Despite the venom coursing through their veins, the Ding Brothers had no time to concern themselves with such matters.


This might well be the final time the three of them used their martial arts.


As long as Night King Hall’s leader Ye Tian emerged unscathed, their sacrifice would be worthwhile.


The Ding Brothers pushed their inner force to the peak, and their aura, remarkably, stood on par with the Three Ghosts who had taken the Carefree Pill…


“Do these wretches truly possess such power?”


“Impossible!


They’re mere outer disciples—without mastering the full Wind Flow Strength cultivation technique, how could they exude such a presence?”


Observing the extraordinary prowess of the Ding Brothers, Sima Kuan and Xu Ziwen were visibly taken aback!


The two, being contemptible villains, had never made sacrifices for anyone else and could not comprehend that when martial artists fought to protect what mattered most to them, their strength could surpass their own limits.


The Ding Brothers unified their powers in synergy, their combined strength rivaling that of the Red Ghost, Blue Ghost, and White Ghost…


Moreover, compared to the divided force of the Three Ghosts, the Ding Brothers’ synchronized efforts seemed to emerge slightly stronger!


“Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom~~~~~~~~~”


The two massive forces collided, shaking the ground and mountains.


Even the very cave where Ye Tian and the others resided couldn’t withstand such devastation and collapsed amidst the frenzy!


Ordinary people might have been crushed to death under the collapse of such a cavern, but everyone present was a formidable martial artist.


For them, the falling debris posed no real threat.


Sima Kuan and Xu Ziwen leaped out of the cave at the moment of collapse.


Meanwhile, Ye Zhiran, still expelling poison from his body, unleashed the power of “Sun’s Drip” to dissolve a falling boulder.


Then, he carried the still-recovering Ye Tian, Ye Zhicang, and Ye Zhirong out of the ruined cavern.


Once outside, Ye Tian, Ye Zhiran, Ye Zhicang, and Ye Zhirong resumed their meditation and efforts to expel the poison, while the three elder Ye members gazed at the remnants of the cave, refraining from entering the meditative state of Silent Qi of the Nether God.


Because of the cave’s collapse, thick smoke obscured the surroundings, making it impossible to see clearly.


No one knew the outcome of the fateful clash between the Ding Brothers and the Three Ghosts…


Only after the smoke had dissipated did everyone see clearly!


The Red Ghost, Blue Ghost, and White Ghost all lay sprawled on the ground, barely clinging to life.


However, the Ding Brothers fared no better, their bodies riddled with wounds as they lay motionless on the ground…


After a brief interval, the Red Ghost, Blue Ghost, and White Ghost struggled to rise.


Though gravely injured, the Three Ghosts still retained the ability to fight.


In other words, the battle between them and the Ding Brothers had culminated in the Three Ghosts’ victory!


“Hahahahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~”


Sima Kuan burst into laughter upon witnessing the triumph of the Three Ghosts.


“Ants will forever be ants—how could they possibly contend with the elite of the Sima Family?


These three vermin dragged this out far too long, but now they’re at death’s door.


Even if left to rot, they couldn’t possibly survive!


With them out of the way, nothing will stop me from killing Ye Tian now!


Red Ghost, Blue Ghost, White Ghost—go ahead and tear Ye Tian apart limb by limb!”


Sima Kuan thundered his order with sheer ruthlessness.


Despite their injuries from battling the Ding Brothers, the Three Ghosts still had strength enough to kill…


Under Sima Kuan’s command, the Red Ghost, Blue Ghost, and White Ghost began advancing toward Ye Tian!


“Stop it!”


“You vile scum—you cannot harm Big Brother!”


“Damn it!


Why won’t my body move?!”


The heavily wounded Ding Brothers shouted incessantly, yet no matter how hard they tried, their bodies refused to budge.


The brothers had surpassed their physical limits long ago!


The Ding Brothers had already been afflicted by the “Red Wind” poison and had suffered further poisoning during their fight with the Three Ghosts…


With the toxins rampaging unchecked through their systems, invading their vital organs, the brothers were in no condition to battle further.


Now the Red Ghost, Blue Ghost, and White Ghost stood before Ye Tian, extending their poisonous claws, which dripped with venom.


This was the Three Ghosts’ signature technique—venomous claws, a lethal skill that no martial artist could withstand, regardless of their strength!


“Swish!”


The Red Ghost’s claws lunged directly for Ye Tian’s forehead.


“Big Brother, look out!”


Ding Da shouted in anguish, wishing he could take the strike on behalf of Ye Tian.


But his heavily injured body, like lead, restrained him from moving even an inch.


“Slap!”


Just as the Red Ghost’s claws were about to strike Ye Tian’s forehead, a hand suddenly grasped them firmly.


The person who intervened was none other than Ye Zhiran, one of the four elders of the Ye Family!


“Those three ants have fallen, and now the Ye Family steps forward to intervene?”


Seeing Ye Zhiran interfere, Sima Kuan sneered coldly.


Xu Ziwen wore an equally derisive expression as he glared at Ye Zhiran, sneering, “So the Ye Family couldn’t sit still and wanted to throw themselves into death’s embrace?


Fine by me!


Saves us the trouble of hunting you down later!”


Ye Zhiran steadied himself with great effort, then said, “Throw ourselves into death’s embrace?


You never had any intention of sparing us, did you?


The enmity between the Ye Family and Sima Family runs too deep.


So be it—let’s settle everything today!”


“Exactly!


The Ye Family and Sima Family can never coexist.


Either you perish, or we do!”


“Today, we’ll resolve all grievances once and for all!”


Ye Zhicang and Ye Zhirong also stood up resolutely.


Three of the Ye Family’s four elders disregarded the toxins ravaging their bodies.


For them, there was an undeniable reason to fight on today!


“Heh heh heh~~~~~ Three old fools halfway to their graves still rambling about fighting?”


Sima Kuan did not take the Ye Family elders seriously.


After all, aside from their advanced age, the elders were also poisoned by Sima’s deadly “Red Wind.” No matter how one looked at it, the three couldn’t possibly survive.


Thus, the deaths of the Ye Family elders were merely a matter of time.


As far as Sima Kuan was concerned, they posed no threat to him whatsoever!
