850: Chapter 846: Reinforcements!
“That’s right!
This time, I won’t let you go on a killing spree!”
Ye Tian declared proudly, and the surrounding martial artists were all deeply moved upon hearing this…
Although Ye Tian’s strength was somewhat inferior compared to the absurdly powerful Wang Cai, with his Light Skill Steps, it wouldn’t have been difficult for him to escape from Wang Cai’s grasp.
Yet, he chose to fight Wang Cai for the sake of the Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples—who had originally been his enemies—battling to the point where his body was covered in wounds…
Such a person, even those who had previously been dissatisfied with Ye Tian, were now awed by his integrity!
The Ding brothers saw that Ye Tian was struggling to sustain himself and quickly stepped in front of him!
“We won’t let you hurt our boss!”
“This time, even if it costs us the lives of the three brothers, we must protect the boss’s safety!”
“You monster, taste the power of our Wind Flow Strength!”
As martial artists of the Night King Hall, the Ding brothers were resolutely defending Ye Tian.
Even though they clearly knew they were no match, they would still fight with all their might.
Suddenly, around the Ding brothers, gusts of fierce wind began to rise.
Being of one mind and spirit, the three brothers were able to unleash the incomplete Wind Flow Strength they had cultivated, which still possessed significant power!
However, this level of Wind Flow Strength was utterly dismissible to Wang Cai!
“Get out out out out out out out~~~~~~~~~~~~~~” Wang Cai bellowed, and a massive surge of Qi Force shot out from his mouth, instantly dispersing the wind energy of the Ding brothers’ Wind Flow Strength.
The Ding brothers, unable to summon the force of nature, felt as if their bodies had been hollowed out, and were blown away by Wang Cai’s overwhelming Qi Force.
The three brothers fell miserably to the ground, unconscious…
“With such pitiful skills, you think you can stop me?
The young master ordered me to kill everyone here, and none of you will escape.
There’s no need to rush to die!”
Wang Cai sneered as he advanced another step toward Ye Tian.
This time, Zhao Sixi, Li Hui, Duan Feng, and the other Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples all stepped in front of Wang Cai.
“We won’t let you harm Ye Tian!”
“That’s right!
He has no familial ties to us, yet he’s risking his life to protect us!
We can’t just stand by and let him die at your hands!”
“This time, with so many of us here, even if we have to fight you in shifts, we’ll stall you long enough for Ye Tian to escape!”
“Our lives mean nothing, as long as Ye Tian survives.
He’s a threat to you people—heartless tyrants who disregard life.
Someday, Ye Tian will uproot all of you!”
…
Earlier, it was Ye Tian protecting these martial artists; now it was their turn to protect Ye Tian.
At this moment, even the most cowardly martial artists stood firmly in front of Ye Tian…
They could not let Wang Cai kill Ye Tian, because Ye Tian was everyone’s hope—perhaps even the hope of the entire Martial Arts World.
“Hmph!
A bunch of ants!
You dare to try and stop me?”
Facing the unified martial artists, Wang Cai remained utterly unfazed.
He let out a cold, mocking laugh and then swung his arm.
With this swing, a gust of wind surged forward, sending many of the martial artists flying with just its force.
Only stronger fighters like Li Hui and Duan Feng managed not to be blown away…
Still, the martial artists standing in front of Ye Tian were scattered, leaving most of them sprawled on the ground, far less imposing than before…
Wang Cai’s power was overwhelmingly dominant.
Even Ye Tian had suffered severely at his hands, so none of the martial artists present—the Ding brothers, or the other Heaven Gate Outer Gate disciples—could hope to match Wang Cai.
Even united, these martial artists were unable to withstand a single strike from Wang Cai…
Wang Cai looked at these martial artists with contempt, as if he were staring down at a swarm of ants!
“I didn’t expect, after witnessing my power, that you’d still have the guts to resist.
Fine, then!
As you wish, I’ll send you all to hell!”
Wang Cai smirked coldly, then ascended into the air once more and raised his palm—a repeat of his devastating Heaven-Crasher Palm!
Under the shadow of Wang Cai’s palm, the gathered martial artists would all be crushed into pulp…
In the past, such a scenario would have thrown martial artists into immediate panic, scattering in every direction to save their lives.
Yet now, having witnessed Ye Tian’s relentless fighting spirit, they were deeply inspired.
As death loomed, no one felt fear…
The martial artists were filled with only one emotion—discontent!
“Damn it!
What kind of creature is this fool, to be so strong!
If someone like him stands at the pinnacle, the entire world will suffer!”
“Just like Heaven Gate, this guy and that Young Master Long should not exist in this world…
If only I had the power to kill them myself!”
“Even if I die, I’ll curse them with all my might!”
…
The martial artists gritted their teeth in bitter anger as Wang Cai’s Heaven-Crasher Palm Force descended like a crushing mountain.
All the martial artists felt the overwhelming force, leaving them no way to dodge—resigned to closing their eyes and awaiting death.
“Hehehe~~~ You’ll all become pulp!”
Wang Cai sneered.
Using sixty percent of his full power for this palm strike, there was no way these martial artists, with Ye Tian injured, could resist.
Their fate was sealed—they would end up as nothing but meat pulp!
“Boom!”
Just as Wang Cai was reveling in his triumph, an inexplicable scene unfolded.
The force of his Heaven-Crasher Palm struck the ground but failed to explode—like a dud bomb…
Wang Cai looked again, only to see someone beneath him.
This individual had pushed out both palms, using their own strength to neutralize the palm force!
This person was none other than Ye Tian!
Supposedly drained and incapable of fighting any longer, Ye Tian somehow mustered the strength to defuse Wang Cai’s thunderous attack—even Wang Cai himself showed astonishment on his face!
“How is this possible?!”
Wang Cai slowly descended from the air and approached Ye Tian.
The martial artists, who had all braced themselves for death, were now stunned by Ye Tian’s intervention, grateful to have survived…
However, there was no cheering, for Wang Cai had closed in, and he could launch another deadly blow at any moment…
“Ye Tian…
I didn’t expect you to still have the strength to fight back.
Who are you, to stand against me to this extent?!”
Wang Cai marveled, while Ye Tian, barely supporting himself, defiantly replied, “No matter what injuries I suffer, I will stand before you to stop you from killing these martial artists!”
As he spoke, another surge of power burst forth from Ye Tian’s body…
“This…
This is…”
Wang Cai’s eyes filled with astonishment, for the force emanating from within Ye Tian was entirely different from what he’d previously used.
The energy was immense and pure—not traditional Inner Strength, nor the force of nature, but an even stronger power…
“Impossible…
It’s similar to my strength…
But how could a mere martial artist possess such power?”
Wang Cai muttered to himself, and as he spoke, his feet involuntarily stepped back…
As Wang Cai found the situation increasingly perplexing, his body suddenly froze, unable to move!
“What is going on?!”
Wang Cai shouted in shock.
Moments later, a voice rang from the sky—
“Everyone—step aside!”
The voice was familiar—it belonged to the clan leader of the Ye Family, Ye Zhihuan!
Ye Tian quickly yelled as well, “Everyone, scatter!”
The martial artists, fully trusting Ye Tian, promptly retreated as commanded…
After the crowd scattered, four figures descended from the sky—Ye Zhihuan, Ye Zhiran, Ye Zhicang, and Ye Zhirong…
The four elders of the Ye Family had gone to Heaven Gate to agree on the time and place for Ye Tian and Sima Yun’s duel but hadn’t returned for a long time.
Ye Tian hadn’t seen them for ages, yet here they unexpectedly reappeared.
There was no time for Ye Tian to question where they’d been, as resolving the immediate crisis was of utmost importance!
After landing, the four elders of the Ye Family positioned themselves around Wang Cai at the east, south, west, and north points, then began channeling their power.
The ground beneath Wang Cai suddenly loosened, causing his body to sink deeper and deeper until he was half-buried in the earth!
“It’s the Four Symbols Formation!”
Ye Tian exclaimed in awe, having previously witnessed the Four Symbols Formation unleashed by the elders.
At that time, only three of the four elders were present, and the formation’s reduced power had allowed him to break free from it.
This time, with all four elders present, the full force of the Four Symbols Formation was revealed!
Under its control, Wang Cai sank deeper into the ground, his body halfway submerged.
Yet even so, Wang Cai wouldn’t submit.
He roared, “You think a mere Four Symbols Formation can trap me?
Don’t be ridiculous!”
Although the sudden activation of the elder’s formation momentarily immobilized Wang Cai, someone of his strength couldn’t be restrained indefinitely.
Wang Cai’s body began to regain mobility, and his mighty inner power surged once more.
Even with the full strength of the Four Symbols Formation, the elders had little chance of keeping Wang Cai trapped for long…
Seeing this, Ye Tian quickly shouted, “Everyone, channel your power into the four elders!”
With that, Ye Tian placed his palms on Ye Zhihuan’s back, transferring all his remaining energy.
“Everyone, follow the boss’s orders!”
Ding Da echoed the command and placed his palm on Ye Tian’s back, transferring his strength as well.
Following suit, Ding Er and Ding San placed their palms against Ye Zhiran and Ye Zhicang, respectively…
