The surrounding Yin Group guards, now under control, made Ye Cangtian and his companions' expressions turn extremely grim.
Although these individuals were being controlled, the Pill Tribulation cared not for such details. As soon as they entered the tribulation's range, the power of the lightning tribulations would undoubtedly increase exponentially.
Furthermore, these were their own guards.
While Yaobaoer and the medicinal pill were of utmost importance, they could not possibly act against their own guards because of them! This was the most basic of bottom lines!
With this thought, Ye Cangtian looked coldly at his opponent and said, "Hun Si, stop now, and everything can still be salvaged. I guarantee you can leave alive!"
Hmph!
Upon hearing this, Hun Si let out a cold snort and said, "Ye Cangtian, even at this point, you still want to threaten me. You truly are a genius, you motherf*****!
Give me a straight answer, are you going to hand over the Four Great Seals or not!"
"No!"
"Show me whatever abilities you possess!"
Ye Cangtian looked coldly at his opponent and slowly raised his hand. Rose and the others instantly drew their weapons, standing ready.
Ye Cangtian refused to believe that the Death Squad could not handle over thirty guards.
"Listen up!"
"Everyone, charge into the Pill Tribulation at all costs! Even if you die, die within the tribulation!"
As Ye Cangtian's voice reached them, Hun Si slowly retreated and issued his command.
Since the other party had chosen a path of mutual destruction, he naturally would not show mercy!
Charge!
With Hun Si's command, the Yin Group guards who had been advancing suddenly let out roars and charged desperately into the range of the lightning tribulation.
The Death Squad and Lan Yue, Hong Liu, and the others also flickered their figures instantly.
They did not choose to kill. These were Yin Group guards under control, so as long as they were knocked unconscious, there would be no problem. And given the disparity between them and the guards, achieving this was not difficult.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian looked at Hun Si and said with a cold laugh, "Hun Si, I truly admire your courage, coming to headquarters with so few people to threaten me. Have you lost your mind?"
Hmph!
Hun Si, who was continuously retreating, snorted coldly and said, "Ye Cangtian, do you still have the right to say such things now?"
Hun Si's eyes were filled with disdain. Although he was wary of Ye Cangtian, he did not fear him. After all, Ye Cangtian was heavily injured and his strength was greatly diminished. If they were to truly fight, he might not necessarily lose.
"Heh heh, you think that just because I'm heavily injured, you can do as you please?"
Ye Cangtian looked at his opponent with a cold smile and continued, "You need to know, I'm not fighting alone. I have brothers behind me!"
As the voice carried over, Hun Si glanced towards the direction of the lightning tribulation.
He saw that many of the controlled Yin Group guards had already fallen to the ground, and the remaining guards were also being pushed back.
Upon seeing this, Hun Si sneered and said, "Ye Cangtian, you're not the only one with brothers; I have them too!"
He paused for a moment, then shouted loudly, "All brothers of the Fei Yun Pavilion, now is the time to be loyal to the Fei Yun Pavilion! I command you, at all costs, to rush into the range of the lightning tribulation..."
"Yes!"
The voices of dozens of people responded. From various corners of the Qing Feng Hall, figures rushed out.
"You think this will work?"
A look of disdain flashed in Ye Cangtian's eyes. This time, it was the people from Fei Yun Pavilion who made their move.
Although they were all forces of Earth Grade or above and possessed some spiritual power, there was still a significant gap compared to the Death Squad. Ye Cangtian thought that the Death Squad should have no problem subduing them, and with that thought, he swaggered towards Hun Si.
"Heh heh, Ye Cangtian, do you think you've won?"
"Have you ever considered that I also have a fallback plan?"
Seeing Ye Cangtian approaching step by step, Hun Si did not seem afraid. Instead, a sinister smile spread across his face.
Huh?
Ye Cangtian's steps halted, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He suddenly turned his head to look and saw that among the guards lying unconscious on the ground, two had suddenly sprung out.
These individuals were originally closer to the range of the lightning tribulation. Now, taking advantage of the Death Squad and others being occupied with the Fei Yun Pavilion, they directly burst out.
This...
Ye Cangtian's expression instantly turned extremely grim. This turn of events was too sudden; even he hadn't managed to react in time. Looking again at the lightning snakes in the air, which had abruptly doubled in thickness, Ye Cangtian knew it was too late.
"Hahaha! Ye Cangtian, did you not expect this!"
"I arranged for a few people long ago to change into Yin Group attire and deliberately let ourselves be controlled by your people!"
"I knew you would be too soft-hearted..."
Seeing Ye Cangtian's ferocious expression, Hun Si burst into laughter. He was naturally not a fool; the Yin Group had many experts. How could his small team possibly approach the range of the lightning tribulation? Therefore, he had to resort to some cunning tricks, and now that they had succeeded, he felt quite pleased.
"Die!"
Ye Cangtian's killing intent erupted instantly. With a sweep of his large hand, a streak of sword energy instantly slashed down towards Hun Si.
This...
Looking at the magnificent sword energy, Hun Si was slightly stunned. Although he was confused, he had no time to consider so much now and turned to flee. Ye Cangtian's displayed strength had exceeded his imagination, and he was definitely no match for him in a direct confrontation. Therefore, it was better to save his own life. The purpose of his visit had been achieved. Even if he didn't obtain the Four Great Seals, he could still disrupt the Yin Group's major affairs, which was enough in itself.
Puff!
In the next instant, the sword energy descended. The sharp sword energy directly severed one of Hun Si's arms. Ultimately, he had overestimated himself.
On the other side, watching Hun Si flee, Ye Cangtian gritted his teeth fiercely but ultimately gave up the chase. If he were to pursue and kill Hun Si, he might succeed, but facing the Heavenly Lightning of three individuals, Yaobaoer might not be able to withstand it. Therefore, he could only stay.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian waved his hand, and several streaks of sword energy shot out, directly eliminating all the Fei Yun Pavilion disciples who were still entangled in combat.
"Junior brother, what do we do? The lightning tribulation has strengthened!"
After resolving all the trouble, Lan Yue immediately came before Ye Cangtian and asked anxiously.
Ye Cangtian also frowned and said gravely, "Leave it to me!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian flickered and had already entered the range of the lightning tribulation. No matter what, he would not let Yaobaoer be harmed.
You...
Seeing this, Lan Yue's expression changed drastically. She had just guessed Ye Cangtian's intention and was about to persuade him, but Ye Cangtian gave her no chance to do so. In her eyes, Ye Cangtian's impulsive action was tantamount to seeking death! One had to know that there were already three people within the range of the lightning tribulation, and its power had increased by more than three times. Now, with Ye Cangtian added, the lightning tribulation would only become more terrifying! At that time, not only would Yaobaoer be unable to be protected, but Ye Cangtian's own life would also be in jeopardy!
"Boss..."
Seeing Ye Cangtian voluntarily enter the range of the lightning tribulation, the members of the Death Squad also turned pale. Their thoughts were remarkably similar to Lan Yue's.
Looking at their gazes, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "My body has been tempered by the Pill Tribulation; it is extremely sturdy. Withstanding the Pill Tribulation should not be a problem..."
Ye Cangtian stated that he had experienced a Pill Tribulation once before and had a general understanding of its power. Moreover, his injuries were not serious, merely a lack of vital energy, which should have no impact on withstanding the tribulation.
Upon hearing this, and with Ye Cangtian already entering the tribulation area, there was nothing more they could say. Anything said now would be useless.
The next moment, Taishan stepped forward and directly threw his Xuanwu Shield and General Shield into the range of the lightning tribulation.
"Boss, these two shields have excellent defensive capabilities. I hope they can help you!"
Hearing Taishan's words, Ye Cangtian nodded heavily, then leaped up and directly jumped onto the top of the secret chamber.
In the secret chamber, Yaobaoer looked at the pill furnace in front of her, a bitter expression on her face. She had initially thought she could smoothly pass the Pill Tribulation and resolve Ye Cangtian's injuries. However, she had never expected that at the critical moment, two disciples from the Fei Yun Pavilion would burst in. Fortunately, she had reached the Heaven Grade and did not suffer any injuries while resisting the lightning tribulation, which allowed her to kill the two. Otherwise, she might truly have perished. However, although she had successfully dealt with the two, her mood had plummeted. The power of the Pill Tribulation had become several times stronger than before. Because of this, she had no confidence in the last two lightning tribulations.
Alas! Boss, I am truly unlucky! The last Pill Tribulation was a near-death experience. Now that my strength has greatly increased, I thought I would be fine this time, but I never expected to die here! I truly cannot bear to leave you, nor my brothers...
