839: Chapter 835: Ye Tian’s Strength!
“Don’t worry, Ye Tian is very strong.
It’s unlikely he’ll fall at the hands of these people!”
Only Zhao Sixi’s face remained calm; he seemed to understand Ye Tian’s strength better than the Ding brothers did!
And the truth was just as Zhao Sixi had said.
Though Ye Tian was at the center of the siege, surrounded by over twenty Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples, not a single one of those disciples gained any advantage over him…
“Boom!”
Ye Tian suddenly threw a punch, and one Outer Gate disciple was immediately flung several meters away, landing in a miserable heap on the ground.
Even while dividing his attention to face more than twenty people simultaneously, Ye Tian’s punches did not lose their focus.
The power in his fist sent the Outer Gate disciple tumbling pitifully across the ground.
“That bastard!”
The Outer Gate disciple who had been hit was indignant, desperately wanting to rise and fight again.
But as he tried to stand, his legs gave way, causing him to collapse once more.
It wasn’t until this moment that he realized a powerful surge of energy was raging within his body, rendering him completely incapable of fighting further…
“Boom!” “Boom!”
Two more thunderous sounds reverberated as Ye Tian struck again, sending two additional Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples hurtling through the air.
“This can’t be real, can it?
We’re attacking him in such numbers, yet he remains unscathed!”
“What technique did he use just now?
How could it have been so fast that I couldn’t even see it clearly?”
The Martial Artists still attacking Ye Tian couldn’t suppress their astonishment.
No matter how strong a Martial Artist was, when faced with an onslaught from over twenty people, shouldn’t they at least sustain injuries?
Yet Ye Tian moved like a slippery loach, making it impossible for the crowd’s fists and kicks to land on him.
Not only that, but Ye Tian also counterattacked at the perfect moments, and each counter left one of the attackers unable to continue fighting.
This sort of opponent was absolutely terrifying…
“Don’t hold back—keep pressing him!
His stamina isn’t limitless!”
Seeing one fellow disciple after another fall at Ye Tian’s hands, Li Hui urgently shouted.
Spurred on by his cries, the rest of the Martial Artists surged forward again, all unleashing their deadliest moves, aiming ruthlessly at Ye Tian.
But even with this, they couldn’t get close enough to touch the hem of Ye Tian’s garment, let alone land a blow on his body!
“What…
what kind of movement technique is this…?”
One Martial Artist screamed, his gaze filled with utter fear.
For before their very eyes, Ye Tian’s figure blurred, leaving behind multiple afterimages.
But these were no ordinary illusions, for every single one of these afterimages could injure.
Each afterimage, with just a single palm strike, sent a Martial Artist flying.
Ye Tian’s movement speed and attack speed had reached such an inhuman level…
“Heh heh~~~~~”
Despite being surrounded by so many Martial Artists, Ye Tian couldn’t help but smirk.
This situation served as the perfect test of the newfound power he had achieved after reaching the Innate Realm.
Previously, when faced with so many Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples, he might have sustained some injuries.
But now, these attackers couldn’t touch him at all.
“Boom!”
Another Martial Artist was knocked down by Ye Tian.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten Martial Artists had already fallen, all crushed by Ye Tian’s overwhelming strikes, left sprawled on the ground, unable to rise.
As Outer Gate disciples collapsed one after another, the whirlwind surrounding Ye Tian began to dissipate, allowing Zhao Sixi and the Ding brothers to get a clear view of the fierce battle between Ye Tian and the other Martial Artists.
Li Hui, Duan Feng, and the few remaining Martial Artists were at a complete loss.
They had initially surrounded Ye Tian, but now, shockingly, Ye Tian’s elusive afterimages had encircled them instead.
Seeing this, Zhao Sixi and the Ding brothers couldn’t help but exclaim in awe!
“Ye Tian is simply incredible!
Everyone in Heaven Gate believed that in a duel against Sima Yun, he’d undoubtedly die.
But now, it seems not only is he not doomed, but he even has a solid chance of winning!”
“What are you saying?
Of course our leader is amazing!
Even someone like Sima Yun would be no match for him!”
“Exactly!
Our leader hasn’t even shown his full power yet!
If he really unleashed everything, I’m afraid all these Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples would end up completely obliterated!”
“From observing how our leader is handling so many Martial Artists at once, it’s clear his strength has significantly improved—he’s much stronger than he was when he killed Sima Feng.
I wonder what kind of training he’s undergone recently.
Did he have some sort of fortuitous encounter?”
While Zhao Sixi and the Ding brothers were speculating, the battle between Ye Tian and the twenty-some Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples was drawing to a close.
The majority of the twenty-plus Outer Gate disciples had been defeated and were lying on the ground.
Only experts like Li Hui and Duan Feng barely managed to hold their ground.
But even so, both of them were clearly at their limits and could no longer keep up.
Sweat poured down Li Hui and Duan Feng’s faces as they gasped for air while evading Ye Tian’s attacks, their exhaustion plain for all to see…
In contrast, Ye Tian remained calm and composed, his breathing steady, as if he hadn’t been fighting at all.
This made it abundantly clear that throughout his duel with over twenty Martial Artists, Ye Tian had not used his full strength.
He had been toying with them the entire time…
“Swish!”
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian’s palm was directly in front of Li Hui’s face.
With no way to evade, Li Hui braced himself, his heart set on risking it all as he poured every ounce of his strength into a counterattack to fight Ye Tian to the death.
Li Hui’s fist hurtled toward Ye Tian’s palm with immense force, yet Ye Tian didn’t even afford him the chance for a desperate struggle.
Li Hui’s fist went straight through Ye Tian’s palm…
“What?”
Li Hui froze in shock.
The palm he had just “penetrated” suddenly vanished.
It turned out to be nothing more than an afterimage, conjured by Ye Tian’s sheer speed, which Li Hui had been completely unable to perceive.
“Boom!”
Ye Tian’s real palm lightly landed on Li Hui’s abdomen.
Though it seemed like a gentle touch, the strike carried with it the weight of a thousand pounds.
Li Hui felt an immense burst of energy enter his body, churning his internal organs into chaos.
His entire body crumpled to the ground, utterly powerless to continue fighting.
“A…
a monster…”
The only person still standing was Duan Feng.
Witnessing Ye Tian’s overwhelming strength, defeating so many people in such a short span, Duan Feng no longer dared to linger.
Seizing what little remaining strength he had, he leaped several yards into the air, attempting to flee.
However, Ye Tian was not about to allow him to escape.
Casually picking up a small stone from the ground, Ye Tian flicked it with force.
The stone flew like it had eyes, striking Duan Feng squarely on the back.
“Ah!”
Duan Feng felt his entire body go numb.
His Qinggong failed him, and he plummeted heavily to the ground.
“Ouch… ouch…”
Duan Feng groaned in pain.
Were it not for his strong physique, the fall could have killed him outright!
Li Hui, Duan Feng, and the rest of the defeated Martial Artists lay motionless on the ground, unable to stand, let alone retaliate.
Ye Tian swept a chilling gaze over the group, his voice icy as he said, “Today, no one leaves unless you clearly explain everything.
Otherwise, I’ll cripple every single one of you!”
A homicidal aura burst forth from Ye Tian, far stronger than anything he had displayed during the earlier fight.
The now-grounded Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples felt his aura and immediately fell silent, too terrified to utter a word.
Zhao Sixi, Ding Da, Ding Er, Ding San, and the others, who had also been injured earlier, managed to stand up after witnessing Ye Tian defeat the entire group.
They gathered beside him.
Ye Tian raised his voice and spoke forcefully: “Fools—you’ve been sold out and are still helping your betrayers count their profits!
The Sect Leader of Heaven Gate has never treated Outer Gate disciples as humans.
The Inner Sect disciples will never allow Outer Gate disciples to join their ranks.
Wake up!
“The so-called promise of elevating some Outer Gate disciples into the Inner Sect is nothing but an empty lie.
The Sect Leader’s only goal is to incite conflict among the Inner Sect disciples of Heaven Gate.
That way, he can enjoy your struggles and even use them for gambling entertainment!
“Zhao Sixi overheard the Sect Leader’s conversations and learned the truth.
That’s why he called you all here—to reveal this to you and save our fellow disciples.
Yet instead, you chose stubborn ignorance and started fighting amongst yourselves.
This is truly disappointing!”
Ye Tian’s words carried immense weight.
None of the Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples dared to speak…
While Zhao Sixi and the Ding brothers had tried reasoning earlier to no avail, Ye Tian’s fists succeeded in commanding respect.
Now, no one dared ignore what Ye Tian said.
Zhao Sixi added, “Do you hear this?
We’ve all been used.
The Sect Leader and Inner Sect disciples of Heaven Gate have never viewed us as people.
To them, our lives mean nothing—a mere topic for casual gossip over tea and meals.
“This time, let’s stop fighting amongst ourselves and unite.
Though our power may be small, there are far more Outer Gate disciples than Inner Sect disciples!
As long as we band together, Heaven Gate won’t dare underestimate us.
This is our chance to demand the justice we’re owed!”
Given that Ye Tian stood firmly by their side, Zhao Sixi’s words found a more receptive audience…
Unfortunately, just as before, both Ye Tian’s declarations and Zhao Sixi’s reasoning lacked concrete evidence; they were still one-sided claims!
Without evidence, their words had little ground to stand on…
