889: Chapter 885: United We Stand!
“This is the Carefree Pill…
It will help Ye Tian…
Quickly, feed it to him…
Otherwise…
it’ll all be too late…”
Wu Wei Zi said weakly.
As the saying goes, ‘A dying man’s words are kind,’ and Wu Wei Zi at this moment truly had no reason to harm Ye Tian.
The four elders of the Ye family looked at each other, and the three Ding brothers hesitated as well.
As for the other Outer Sect disciples of Tianmen, they were even less able to make a decision.
For a long moment, everyone remained stunned before Ye Zhihuan finally nodded heavily and said, “Fine, let’s trust this guy for once!
Even if it’s poison, with Ye Tian’s abilities, it’d be easy for him to neutralize it!
More importantly, right now, trusting Wu Wei Zi is our only chance of survival!”
With that, Ye Zhihuan took the pill handed to him by Wu Wei Zi and placed it into Ye Tian’s mouth.
Although Ye Tian was in a meditative state resembling deep trance, he was still able to swallow instinctively.
As soon as the Carefree Pill entered his mouth, it slid directly down into Ye Tian’s stomach.
Immediately afterward, the medicinal power of the pill began to take effect, and heat radiated around Ye Tian’s body!
The scorching energy made everyone nearby feel a wave of intense warmth.
Alongside this heat, they could sense Ye Tian’s heart beating wildly!
“It’s the Carefree Pill!
It really is the Carefree Pill!
I’ve heard that after consuming it, the heartbeat will suddenly accelerate!”
“I’ve also heard that after taking the Carefree Pill, the consumer’s body generates intense heat!”
“It appears Wu Wei Zi wasn’t lying to us!
He truly handed over Tianmen’s secret medicine, the Carefree Pill, to Ye Tian!”
…
The Outer Sect disciples spoke in excitement, each word carrying into Wu Wei Zi’s ears.
Yet Wu Wei Zi could only display a helpless expression.
At this point, he no longer had the strength to bother with the Outer Sect disciples…
After consuming the Carefree Pill, within merely a few dozen seconds, Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes.
Judging by his appearance, a significant portion of his injuries had already healed!
“That’s great!
Boss opened his eyes!
He’s awake!”
“Kid, you finally decided to look at us.
Looks like your injuries have mostly healed by now, huh?”
“Ye Tian, if you didn’t wake up soon, we wouldn’t even know what to do!”
“Please give us your orders!”
…
The martial artists could barely contain their excitement upon seeing Ye Tian awake.
Everyone eagerly awaited his next command.
But Ye Tian wasn’t focused on these martial artists.
Instead, he stared directly at the dying Wu Wei Zi before him, who was on the verge of breathing his last.
“Why did you help me?”
Ye Tian asked calmly.
Wu Wei Zi glanced at Ye Tian and replied faintly, “For…
Tianmen…
Please preserve Tianmen’s lineage…”
“Preserve Tianmen’s lineage?”
Ye Tian was somewhat surprised.
He hadn’t anticipated that in his final moments, Wu Wei Zi would still be thinking of his sect.
It seemed that this Sect Leader valued Tianmen’s legacy deeply.
As Wu Wei Zi had feared, Sima Yun’s dominance at this moment was unparalleled.
If he truly managed to absorb the martial prowess of all Tianmen’s Inner and Outer Sect disciples, he would achieve invincibility—and the destruction of Tianmen would be inevitable.
Since Ye Tian had now consumed the Carefree Pill, fulfilling Wu Wei Zi’s modest request wasn’t unreasonable.
“Alright!
I promise you!”
Ye Tian nodded as he spoke, and Wu Wei Zi’s lips quivered as he muttered a few words:
“Thank you…”
With that, Wu Wei Zi’s head drooped entirely, lifeless.
Facing such a remarkable rival, Ye Tian couldn’t help but sigh…
The battle between him and Wu Wei Zi hadn’t ended in his victory but rather a draw!
Even achieving a draw had been a strenuous task for Ye Tian.
If he hadn’t timely grasped a new martial arts realm and adapted quickly, he might have perished under Wu Wei Zi’s hands.
Yet such a formidable opponent had fallen to Sima Yun—this despicable villain.
The outcome was indeed lamentable!
After Wu Wei Zi’s death, Ye Zhihuan immediately approached Ye Tian and said, “Ye Tian, Tianmen’s Carefree Pill is a miraculous medicine, especially potent for first-time users!
It not only helps a martial artist recover from injuries but also significantly enhances their martial prowess!
However, this effect is limited to the first time; if consumed repeatedly, the pill won’t enhance martial skills and may even inflict various negative consequences on the body!
So, this improvement in your abilities is both the first and the last!”
As Ye Zhihuan had stated, although the Carefree Pill was extraordinary, it could only be used once!
That meant if Ye Tian failed to defeat Sima Yun in the upcoming battle, he wouldn’t have the option to rely on the Carefree Pill to prolong his survival…
“I understand.”
Ye Tian nodded, then glanced at the fierce clash between Sima Yun and the Inner Sect disciples.
Though the situation appeared evenly matched, Sima Yun’s relentless aggression was already dismantling their defenses.
If the Inner Sect disciples fell, the consequences would be unthinkable.
“Although the Carefree Pill has healed me partially, to return to full fighting status, I need at least ten minutes.
During these ten minutes, no one can disturb me!”
Ye Tian spoke calmly, his words akin to a command that made all martial artists tense as if locked in combat.
Ye Zhihuan was the first to respond, “Don’t worry, kid.
If the Ye family’s Four Symbols Formation can’t hold Sima Yun for ten minutes, then we, the Ye family, don’t deserve to stand in the Martial Arts World anymore!”
Ding Da added, “Boss, focus on healing!
You’re our main fighting force!
If we buy you time, we’re confident you’ll defeat Sima Yun!”
Li Hui chimed in, “Ye Tian, they’re right.
We Outer Sect disciples of Tianmen have always hidden under your protection.
Now, it’s finally time for us to step up and do what we ought to!”
…
At this point, there was no way for the martial artists to escape; the only option was to face the challenge head-on.
Thus, none of them chose to retreat.
Instead, they summoned every ounce of their martial prowess to withstand the formidable enemy!
Seeing the martial artists united, Ye Zhihuan stopped wasting words and shouted, “Let’s go!
Let’s show the people of Tianmen what we’re capable of!”
“Alright!” “Come on!” “Let’s fight till the end!” …
The other martial artists echoed his call and, following Ye Zhihuan’s lead, moved to the battle site where Tianmen’s Inner Sect disciples were locked in combat with Sima Yun.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian quietly sat in meditation, circulating his energy for recovery, reaching the most critical phase of his healing process!
“Hmm?
So many people are coming?”
Sima Yun, spotting the Ye family’s Four Elders leading a group of martial artists forward, was momentarily stunned.
But within his surprise lay an unmistakable hint of disdain.
“And so what if so many people come?
You still won’t be able to stop me—instead, you’ll only provide me with more ‘experience’ to absorb!”
Sima Yun sneered coldly.
The wind barrier that twenty-something Inner Sect disciples had created remained sturdy.
Yet Sima Yun’s fierce charge moments ago had nearly shattered it.
If the Four Elders of the Ye family and the Outer Sect disciples hadn’t arrived, he could have absorbed these Inner Sect disciples’ strength already!
“Why have you…
come…”
“We’re enemies…
Why help us?”
“Isn’t the destruction of Tianmen your greatest wish?”
…
The Inner Sect disciples of Tianmen, utterly exhausted from their battle with Sima Yun, were startled but energized to see the Four Elders and the Outer Sect disciples join.
Yet alongside excitement lingered uncertainty.
After all, they were on opposing sides—why would these people set aside their differences to help?
Ye Zhihuan sighed and said, “Sect Leader Wu Wei Zi’s dying wish was for Ye Tian to preserve Tianmen, and Ye Tian agreed!
So we fight for the deceased and the future of the Martial Arts World!”
“What?
The Sect Leader has died?”
“How could someone so strong perish?”
“The Sect Leader…
boo hoo…”
Though the Inner Sect disciples didn’t harbor favorable impressions of Wu Wei Zi, they couldn’t help but display sorrow upon hearing of his death.
Some even started to shed tears.
But there wasn’t time for mourning—the immediate threat of their most dangerous opponent loomed before them.
If Sima Yun wasn’t defeated, not only Tianmen but the entire Martial Arts World risked annihilation!
Thus, everyone cast aside their sectarian grievances and unified to confront Sima Yun!
“Exactly!
The only enemy before us now is Sima Yun.
Besides him, nothing else matters!”
“Even if we’re working with people I previously looked down on, this cooperation feels unexpectedly satisfying!”
“I refuse to believe that even with so many of us, we can’t defeat Sima Yun!”
…
The Inner Sect disciples stopped fighting Sima Yun individually and prepared for a cohesive assault.
Seeing such a unified opposition forming, Sima Yun merely smirked coldly…
“Ants are still ants.
No matter how many ants gather, they remain ants!
Today, I’ll show you hopelessly insignificant creatures just how insurmountable the gap between my power and yours truly is!”
With that, Sima Yun leapt high into the air, pausing mid-flight.
Then, he pulled out the jade flute once wielded by Sima Feng, placing it to his lips to play.
A bizarre melody began to echo suddenly…
