846: Chapter 842: A Powerful Opponent 846: Chapter 842: A Powerful Opponent “Aside from the three brothers of the Ding Family, these people have nothing to do with you.
They even attacked you before.
Is it really worth risking your life for them?”
Shu Xin asked in confusion.
Ye Tian immediately replied firmly, “A Martial Artist must possess an unyielding spirit.
If I abandon the weak and flee alone, my pride would never allow it!
So today, even if I have to fight this monster to the bitter end, I will save them all!”
“Alright then!
Kid, consider me as your strength!”
Moved by Ye Tian’s resolve, Shu Xin spoke resolutely.
Ye Tian nodded, then drew the wooden blade.
As the wooden blade left its sheath, it emitted a crackling “zizi” sound.
Bolts of lightning entwined themselves around the wooden blade, and these electric currents gradually surged into Ye Tian’s body.
Ye Tian felt a sudden jolt of vitality; the power within him grew even more robust!
“It’s the Life Weapon!
The Life Weapon!
Boss has invoked the Life Weapon; now that guy Wang Cai is doomed!”
Seeing Ye Tian draw the wooden blade, Ding Da shouted excitedly, and all the Martial Artists around were instantly thrilled!
“The legendary Life Weapon is said to be indestructible.
I never imagined Ye Tian owned one.
With it, perhaps there’s hope to defeat this foe in front of us!”
“Although the gap in strength was evident earlier, now with the Life Weapon, the disparity should be evened out, right?”
“Of course!
A Martial Artist wielding a Life Weapon is said to be invincible!”
…
Even though everyone was confident in Ye Tian’s Life Weapon, Wang Cai didn’t seem impressed by the wooden blade.
“Life Weapon?
I didn’t expect you to have a Life Weapon!
No wonder you’re so confident and didn’t flee in my presence!”
Wang Cai’s eyelid twitched slightly; this was the only hint of surprise he showed upon seeing the wooden blade in Ye Tian’s hand.
Then, Wang Cai’s tone returned to a calm indifference…
“But relying solely on a mid-tier Life Weapon won’t be enough to defeat me.
If you think this wooden blade can hurt me, I will destroy it myself!”
Wang Cai said coldly, and as he spoke, the wooden blade in Ye Tian’s hand quivered visibly…
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Tian asked with concern, and Shu Xin, the heart of the millennium ancient tree, did not hide the truth from him.
“Kid, that guy is formidable.
As he said, this could very well be our last battle together!”
“Don’t worry!
You and I still have a long journey ahead.
You won’t die here!”
Ye Tian reassured him calmly, then continued infusing his energy steadily into the wooden blade.
Ye Tian and the blade were linked as one; their combined strength could be seamlessly intertwined.
Once the power surged through the blade, it ceased its trembling.
Instead, it became a conduit for an eruption of energy!
“Zizi!” “Zizi!”…
Bolts of lightning wrapped tightly around the hilt, and the sheer intensity of the energy was palpable to all those present.
With the energy fully converging upon the wooden blade, Ye Tian swung it fiercely at once!
Overspeed Blade—the blade technique Ye Tian was most adept at!
Once in the past, even the invincible Rakshasa Queen fell victim to Ye Tian’s Overspeed Blade!
But now, with Ye Tian’s power having grown, the current might of the Overspeed Blade far surpassed what it had been when the Rakshasa Queen was defeated…
“Shushushushu~~~~~~~~”
A dense flurry of blade shadows rushed toward Wang Cai, accompanied by countless vacuum blade attacks enveloping his body.
The destructive force of these vacuum blades rivaled the techniques Wang Cai had displayed earlier.
Ye Tian deliberately used a similar move to give Wang Cai a fierce opening strike…
“Heh heh~~~~”
Facing Ye Tian’s ferocious assault, Wang Cai remained unfazed.
He didn’t dodge but extended his hand directly.
“Blocking with his hand?”
Ye Tian was shocked.
Among the opponents he had encountered, none had ever tried to withstand the edge of a Life Weapon with mere flesh and blood.
Ye Tian’s wooden blade was exceedingly sharp.
If someone tried to block it with their hand, their arm would be severed on the spot!
Seeing an opportunity, Ye Tian infused all his energy into the wooden blade and slashed fiercely at Wang Cai’s arm!
“Clang!”
A crisp sound rang out.
Ye Tian felt as if his blade had struck a chunk of hardened steel!
The powerful shockwave forced Ye Tian back several meters…
“So tough!”
Ye Tian gritted his teeth in frustration.
The hardness of Wang Cai’s body surpassed even steel.
The wooden blade that could cut through metal like mud couldn’t even leave a scratch.
Could Wang Cai’s physical resilience exceed what human beings could achieve?
“What a formidable foe!”
Even the wooden blade couldn’t help but marvel.
In the thousand-year history of Shu Xin’s existence, an opponent as strong as Wang Cai had never appeared.
Despite the adversary’s overwhelming strength, Ye Tian refused to retreat.
After stabilizing his stance, he propelled himself firmly toward Wang Cai!
Wang Cai, unhurried, extended two fingers infused with energy.
His fingers transformed, sharp as swords!
“Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang ~~~~~~~~~~~”
A rapid series of crisp clashes ensued as Ye Tian’s wooden blade collided with Wang Cai’s fingers, the two evenly matched in battle.
But the deeper Ye Tian fought, the more astounded he became!
Since obtaining this wooden blade, Ye Tian had never encountered an opponent like this!
Normally, no one could bear the edge of this blade with their flesh and blood.
Even powerhouses like Tian Shisan and Sima Feng had to contend cautiously.
But Wang Cai showed no fear of Ye Tian’s wooden blade.
Without any weapon in hand, he went head-to-head with it effortlessly, his strength truly awe-inspiring…
The other Martial Artists could only watch from the sidelines.
Though they had their own skills, when faced with supreme beings like Ye Tian and Wang Cai, they had no chance to intervene.
All they could do was cheer for Ye Tian…
“Ye Tian is strong, but the opponent before him is an outright monster.
It’s likely this time, our chances of survival are slim!”
Li Hui approached the three Ding brothers and sighed.
Though Ye Tian was powerful, Wang Cai remained far more composed during their encounter…
Yet Ding Da immediately refuted Li Hui’s claim!
“Li Hui, don’t underestimate Boss.
Boss has faced countless masters in his lifetime.
Some of them had powers far surpassing his own!
Yet Boss always grows stronger against stronger opponents—none have ever managed to put him to death!
So, no matter what kind of foe stands before him, Boss will never lose.
He’s going to defeat this monster and save all of us!”
Ding Er and Ding San quickly echoed him!
“That’s right!
If you don’t understand how powerful Boss is, don’t spew nonsense here!
Boss is incredibly strong—he’s the backbone of all Martial Artists in the Night King Hall!”
“Indeed!
If Boss weren’t here this time, we’d all be dead at that guy’s hands!”
Upon seeing the brothers’ fierce loyalty, Li Hui could only sigh deeply.
“True enough.
At this moment, we can only pin all our hopes on Ye Tian.
Only if he triumphs over that monster do we have a chance to survive.”
Not just Li Hui but Zhao Sixi, Duan Feng, and other disciples from the outer sect of Heaven’s Gate all watched Ye Tian and Wang Cai’s duel intently.
The battle between the two had only just begun, yet the surrounding environment had already suffered severe devastation!
“Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang ~~~~~~~~~~~”
Accompanied by relentless metallic clashes, vacuum blade attacks erupted one after another.
Around Ye Tian and Wang Cai, the land became unrecognizable.
Trees were shattered, rocks obliterated, and the earth bore deep, bottomless fissures!
“Damn it!”
Ye Tian cursed inwardly.
Despite the sharpness of his Overspeed Blade, he couldn’t gain any advantage against the seemingly unarmed Wang Cai.
Each move and attack was countered perfectly by Wang Cai, leaving Ye Tian’s relentless offense futile.
Meanwhile, Wang Cai’s counterattacks came perilously close to finding their mark!
Wang Cai’s strength wasn’t merely immense but eerily calm.
His face bore no expression—it was like a slab of stone!
A Martial Artist with such deep reserves of cunning was undoubtedly the hardest to defeat!
“Heh heh~~~~ Ye Tian, you’ve already given your all, while I’m just warming up!”
During the fight, Wang Cai sneered coldly and uttered a chilling statement.
“What?
Just warming up?”
Ye Tian’s face showed shock.
The opponent he was struggling tooth and nail against wasn’t even trying yet?
While Ye Tian reeled in bewilderment, Ding Da suddenly shouted from behind, “Boss, watch out!”
Ye Tian jumped in surprise, hearing the sound of “swish swish swish!”
Something was hurtling toward his back at an astonishing speed.
Ye Tian felt a sense of danger instantly and leaped up, intending to dodge the attack.
But unexpectedly, just as he began his jump, Wang Cai grabbed onto Ye Tian’s leg directly, freezing him in place.
“Boom boom boom!”
Three concealed weapons struck Ye Tian’s back simultaneously, unleashing explosions upon impact.
“Ah…!”
Ye Tian winced in pain and swayed, realizing the weapons that hit him were none other than Wang Cai’s blood-red Bodhisattva weapons—the Blood Bodhi.
However, in the midst of such a heated duel, Wang Cai clearly hadn’t had any opportunity to deploy hidden weapons.
How had the Blood Bodhi reached his back?
Ye Tian glanced at Wang Cai in bewilderment, but the latter remained as composed as ever…
