832: Chapter 828: The High-rise Collapses!
The Ding brothers were completely unaware of the anomaly at the door; the eavesdropper’s movements were incredibly practiced—clearly the work of a professional…
It seemed the other party had already extended their reach toward him.
Thus, Ye Tian couldn’t afford to let his guard down and began carefully monitoring the actions of those tailing him within the hotel.
Whether dining in the restaurant, walking through the hallways, or going out for a stroll, there was always one or two individuals covertly following him.
Of course, these trackers knew of his abilities and didn’t dare get too close, always observing from a distance.
They believed he hadn’t noticed their surveillance.
But in truth, Ye Tian had observed every single one of their moves…
After he returned to his room, there would occasionally be one or two individuals glancing inside his door, only trying to see if anyone was visiting.
They dared not approach too closely, out of fear of being detected by Ye Tian.
“These bastards!”
Ye Tian clenched his fist tightly.
Although he didn’t know which organization these stalkers belonged to, being shadowed like this day after day had thoroughly worn out his patience.
If the Ye Four Elders managed to return, he would undoubtedly go to the death with Sima Yun.
But if they delayed, Ye Tian was prepared to directly storm the mountain and confront Sima Yun himself!
With enemies lurking all around, Ye Tian also warned the Ding brothers to stay on alert.
If anything seemed amiss, they were to strike immediately!
The Ding brothers rigorously followed Ye Tian’s orders, remaining ready at all times…
But despite the precautions taken by Ye Tian and the brothers, the enemy’s assault unfolded in the most unexpected way!
“BOOOOOM~~~~~~”
At night, a sleeping Ye Tian was jolted awake by a violent explosion.
The deafening sound was shockingly loud and incredibly close.
It came from the base of the hotel!
After the thunderous blast, the entire hotel began to shake violently!
“The hotel is going to collapse!”
Ye Tian instantly realized the danger.
He rolled out of bed and sprang upright.
Because of the constant surveillance, he had always slept fully clothed.
Though Ye Tian had anticipated the enemy’s attack, he hadn’t imagined such a ruthless method.
To deal with him, they had destroyed the finest hotel in all of Tianshan City.
He was staying on the 23rd floor of the hotel.
With such a powerful explosion causing the building to collapse, there was simply no time for him or his companions to escape…
However, due to his heightened vigilance, the enemy didn’t dare place the bomb near him.
It was instead planted at the hotel’s base, with the timing set for the dead of night.
“Ahh!”
“What’s happening?
Why is the hotel shaking?”
“Oh my god, what’s going on?”
…
Other guests in the hotel were screaming frantically.
But Ye Tian didn’t have time to concern himself with them.
Ye Tian approached the wall and threw a powerful punch, smashing it apart.
He quickly entered the adjacent room.
This was Ding Da’s room.
In the chaos of the explosion and the building’s violent swaying, Ding Da could barely stay on his feet.
Yet even amidst the tremors, Ye Tian maintained perfect balance.
“Boss?”
Seeing Ye Tian, Ding Da’s face brightened with relief.
“Come with me!”
There was no time to waste.
Ye Tian didn’t bother explaining.
Grabbing Ding Da by the collar, he rushed to the next wall.
“BOOM!”
Once again, Ye Tian’s fist smashed through the wall.
Carrying Ding Da, he entered Ding Er’s room.
Due to the severe shaking, Ding Er had suffered some injuries.
Blood dripped from his head as he sat dazed and terrified, his eyes squeezed shut as though awaiting death.
But upon seeing Ye Tian, a glimmer of hope flickered in Ding Er’s eyes!
Ye Tian said nothing.
With his other hand, he grabbed Ding Er and moved to the next wall.
Using a powerful kick, he shattered the wall separating Ding Er’s and Ding San’s rooms, entering directly.
Ding San, already injured in one arm, had been further affected by the blast.
Now, lying unconscious on the floor, he showed no signs of waking.
Without hesitation, Ye Tian picked him up.
With all three brothers in tow, the hotel continued its rapid collapse, leaving Ye Tian with precious little time.
He drew his wooden blade from his side.
“SWISHSWISHSWISHSWISHSWISHSWISHSWISH~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Ye Tian swung the wooden blade in a rapid blur, sending multiple Vacuum Blades upward.
The stone slabs overhead were pulverized to dust, revealing the brilliant night sky above.
“Let’s go!”
Carrying the Ding brothers, Ye Tian leapt from the collapsing building.
Narrowly escaping disaster, Ye Tian carried the trio and fled at full speed until they reached the forest outskirts of Tianshan City, where he finally stopped.
By this time, Ye Tian was drenched in sweat…
Awoken from a perilous night, maintaining balance with Qinggong amidst the swaying building, smashing walls to save the brothers, and finally escaping from the collapsing hotel to the city outskirts—it had been an exhausting ordeal, even for someone of Ye Tian’s strength…
Having been rescued, the Ding brothers immediately dropped to their knees before Ye Tian.
“Boss, we owe you our lives!
Without your help, the three of us would’ve been buried in that collapsing building!”
“Boss, your kindness is boundless.
I, Ding Er, will never forget it as long as I live!”
“Boss, thank you for saving my life.
I, Ding San, will forever be in your debt!”
Ye Tian, looking solemn, waved them off and said, “Save the thanks.
Are you three alright?”
As he spoke, Ye Tian’s gaze remained fixed in the direction of Tianshan City.
After the massive explosion and the hotel’s collapse, the city was in utter chaos…
From the site of the explosion, the flames raged fiercely, visible even from Ye Tian’s distant vantage point.
The wails of fire engines echoed through the city as panicked citizens scrambled in disarray.
The finest hotel of Tianshan City had collapsed in an explosion, leaving behind an unknown number of casualties among the guests and staff.
Despite Ye Tian’s extraordinary martial arts skills, he had only been able to save the Ding brothers from the doomed building.
There was nothing more he could do for the others…
The thought made Ye Tian bite down hard, his jaw clenched in frustration…
The Ding brothers, noticing the sorrow in Ye Tian’s expression, stepped closer to comfort him.
Ding Da said, “Boss, the enemy wanted you dead so badly they blew up the entire building.
It was impossible for us to save everyone!
But even if we couldn’t save them, one day, we’ll avenge them!”
Ding Er chimed in, “Exactly!
Such despicable treachery clearly reeks of that scoundrel Sima Yun!
Boss, this time, you must kill Sima Yun and wipe out the entire Sima Family to avenge everyone!”
Ding San added, “I agree.
This has all the hallmarks of the Sima Family’s handiwork.
I can’t think of anyone else who would do such a thing!”
“Is that so…”
The Ding brothers were quick to blame Sima Yun, but Ye Tian hesitated.
After all, there was no definitive proof that Sima Yun was behind this.
What would Sima Yun gain from such a reckless act?
Could a mere bomb kill someone like him?
The act was so blatant that suspicion would inevitably fall on Sima Yun.
With Tianmen’s Slaughter Order still fresh in memory, if Sima Yun attacked Ye Tian during their duel, what position would that leave Tianmen in?
Sometimes, the most obvious suspect isn’t the true culprit.
And this time, Ye Tian couldn’t shake that feeling…
Regardless of who was behind it, Ye Tian now found himself stuck in a difficult dilemma!
Faced with Tianmen’s Slaughter Order, he had willingly accepted and sent the Ye Four Elders to Tianshan Mountain to arrange his duel with Sima Yun.
Yet days had passed without any news from the Ye Four Elders, and now, his hotel had been deliberately destroyed…
None of this could be mere coincidence, but at the moment, Ye Tian had no way of uncovering who was orchestrating it all.
“Boss, what do we do next?”
Ding Da approached Ye Tian cautiously and asked.
“…”
Ye Tian glanced at the Ding brothers.
For a moment, even he appeared unsure of how to proceed.
Tianshan City was a dangerous place, and his allies from the Night King Hall had all fallen under Sima Yun’s control.
Now, only the Ding brothers remained at his side—hardly a formidable force.
Meanwhile, the Ye Four Elders, who had gone to Tianshan to negotiate with Tianmen, had yet to return, leaving Ye Tian at an impasse over his next move.
After a long silence, Ye Tian finally spoke.
“Though this is the enemy’s territory, and we are surrounded by foes, they dared to target me and my brothers.
Do they think the Black Night King will simply bow down?
No matter how the negotiations with Tianmen turn out, I, Ye Tian, will never let this matter rest!”
Ye Tian’s words deeply inspired the Ding brothers.
“Wonderful, Boss!
You’re back to being the decisive leader we follow.
This time, let us charge ahead at your command and crush the enemy!”
“Boss, anyone who dares harm you will suffer a fate worse than death!”
“That’s right!
The martial artists of the Night King Hall are not to be trifled with!”
The Ding brothers spoke fiercely, and Ye Tian nodded.
Though their forces were limited, he would not cower before his enemies.
Whoever sought to harm him would pay dearly for it!
As Ye Tian and the Ding brothers were talking, a voice suddenly rang out nearby!
