Chapter 1079: Chapter 1075: Tian Si!
After a martial artist is injured, their own strength can automatically heal the wound. However, because the martial artist is injured, this “healing” is a subconscious behavior, so the speed is very slow, and it takes a long time for the martial artist to awaken.
Thus, there is a method where one martial artist can infuse another martial artist with vigor to heal the injuries. Ye Tian’s strength is powerful and he is also skilled in medicine. Once he infuses Ye Xuong’s body with his vigor, Ye Xuong’s injuries can be swiftly healed.
About half an hour later, the injuries within Ye Xuong’s body were precisely healed by Ye Tian, and the previously unconscious Ye Xuong finally opened his eyes.
Seeing Ye Tian, Ye Xuong’s mood was slightly agitated. He naturally knew that the reason he woke up so quickly was entirely due to Ye Tian infusing him with vigor.
“Lie down! Don’t do anything!”
Ye Tian said firmly, and Ye Xuong had no choice but to continue lying quietly, not daring to say a word.
“Boss, I’ve brought back the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ for you, have you seen it?”
Although lying down and unable to move, Ye Xuong still opened his mouth to speak. He was most concerned about whether Ye Tian knew he had completed his mission.
Ye Tian gave a bitter smile and said, “For the sake of a mere ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’, my right-hand man got injured. I’d rather not have such a treasure!”
Ye Tian’s words moved Ye Xuong deeply, and he didn’t know what to say. Ye Tian glanced at him and said, “Ye Xuong, just lie down. If you really want to report something to me, then tell me what happened when you went to the Night King Hall’s headquarters in Jiangcheng, and who exactly injured you?”
Ye Xuong immediately nodded and was honest with Ye Tian.
After Tian Yi died, to avoid any delays, Ye Tian sent Ye Xuong to Jiangcheng to retrieve the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ he had stashed there and bring it back to Nancheng.
And Ye Xuong indeed followed Ye Tian’s instructions, traveling day and night to Jiangcheng.
Because of Ye Xuong’s exceptional Qinggong, it took him just over a day to return to Jiangcheng. Upon arriving, Ye Xuong headed straight back to the Night King Hall’s headquarters estate.
Since Ye Tian had already informed Ye Xuong of the location of the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ and the combination to the safe, Ye Xuong naturally obtained the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ without a hitch. He carefully placed the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ on his person and prepared to return to Nancheng.
However, he hadn’t even stepped out of the courtyard of the Night King Hall’s headquarters when he was stopped by a man in a black robe!
The man in the black robe blocked Ye Xuong’s path and sneered…
“It’s truly a case of ‘seeking with iron shoes in vain, only to obtain without any effort’. The thing I could not find no matter how hard I tried, you have found it yourself!”
The words of the man in the black robe suddenly shocked Ye Xuong’s heart.
Returning to the Night King Hall’s headquarters estate in a rush, he hadn’t had the time to observe the surrounding anomalies. He realized he had been tracked and watched all along without being aware…
From the black-robed man, Ye Xuong clearly felt a menacing aura, and he did have some impression of the black-robed attire.
So Ye Xuong slowly said, “It seems you want to snatch the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ from me, don’t you? Judging by your appearance and attire, you should be from the Black Hole Clan, right?”
“Since you already know, then let me be clear with you!” In front of Ye Xuong, the man in the black robe did not hide anything, “My name is Tian Si. I am one of the thirteen guardians of the Black Hole Clan. Now that Tian Yi and Tian Er have died at your hands, I want to see what makes your Night King Hall so formidable?”
Knowing the opponent’s identity from his own mouth, Ye Xuong couldn’t feel happy at all.
Ye Xuong’s mind was very clear about his own strength, which could barely tie with Tian Qi, but if it came to those ranked above Tian Qi in the Black Hole Clan’s thirteen guardians, it would be very troublesome.
Tian Liu had been hiding and watching him all along, and he had no idea…
Tian Yi and Tian Er were even further out of comparison, Ye Xuong was far from being on the same power level as them…
Tian Si, with his ranking below Tian Yi and Tian Er, but above Tian Liu and Tian Qi, clearly had immense power that Ye Xuong was not fully confident he could resist.
“Since the Black Hole Clan has dispatched you, does that mean they already know that Tian Yi is dead?”
Ye Xuong asked again, and Tian Si chuckled, saying, “Naturally. Don’t underestimate the reconnaissance capabilities of the Black Hole Clan! Not only do we know that Tian Yi was killed by Ye Tian, but we also know Ye Tian sent you to take away the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’, which is why someone was stationed here. As soon as you found the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’, I was to snatch it!”
That his every move was completely within the control of the Black Hole Clan made Ye Xuong feel quite discontented.
“Heheheh~~~~~ I never thought that one day even I, Ye Xuong, would be exploited! So, you want to kill me, seize the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’, and avenge Tian Yi?”
Ye Xuong continued speaking, but Tian Si shook his head and said, “The elders didn’t issue any orders for avenging Tian Yi. Tian Yi was stubborn. Even when battling Ye Tian, he ignored the elders’ advice and tried to kill Ye Tian, which goes against the Black Hole Clan’s interests. Hence, we won’t help him avenge his death!”
“As for the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ in your hand, I must seize it. My sole purpose now is to take the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak.’ I have no interest in your life. As long as you hand over the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ obediently, I’ll let you leave!”
“Are you really that kind-hearted?” Ye Xuong asked, astonished.
“Yes,” Tian Si nodded.
Ye Xuong nodded heavily as well and then offered the box containing the carefully kept ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ to Tian Si.
“The boss once told me that the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ originally belongs to your Black Hole Clan. So handing it over to you is merely returning it to its rightful owner. I hope you can keep your promise and, after obtaining the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak,’ don’t trouble me again, nor the martial artists of the Night King Hall!”
“I will pass this to the elders!”
Seeing Ye Xuong being so sensible, Tian Si straightforwardly extended his hand, ready to seize the box containing the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ from Ye Xuong’s hand. But as soon as his hand reached out, Ye Xuong twisted his wrist, hiding the box behind him, and suddenly attacked Tian Si.
Ye Xuong shouted loudly, unleashing all his power, with his claws carrying a force destined to crush Tian Si’s head!
Ye Xuong’s strategy of using the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ as bait greatly surprised Tian Si. But even so, Tian Si remained calm and composed.
As Ye Xuong’s claws were about to strike his face, a dense black mist seeped out from Tian Si’s body, enveloping him tightly.
This black mist was not merely a purely physical force but had already materialized as the Power of Death!
Ye Xuong’s fierce attack was deflected by the black mist. He only felt his arm go numb, unwilling to prolong the fight, he stepped back to put some distance between him and Tian Si.
“You despicable scoundrel, breaking your word and ambushing me! I’ll make you regret your actions!”
Being ambushed by Ye Xuong, Tian Si’s expression immediately changed, and his words were filled with a chilling disdain.
Ye Xuong laughed and said, “Tian Si, as a martial artist of the Night King Hall, I have always followed the boss’s orders! The boss instructed me to return to Jiang City to retrieve the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak.’ Before handing the ‘Yin-Yang Cloak’ over to the boss, I won’t surrender it to anyone!”
“Hehe~~~~ Is that so?”
Tian Si sneered and immediately, a strong Power of Death surged from within him!
Although Tian Si was somewhat weaker compared to Tian Yi and Tian Er, facing such an expert was still immensely challenging! However, as a martial artist of the Night King Hall influenced by Ye Tian, Ye Xuong would never shrink from a formidable enemy.
Even if it meant death, Ye Xuong could not tarnish the Night King Hall’s reputation!
Therefore, Ye Xuong ramped up his power to its peak, and for a moment, the Night King Hall’s headquarters estate was surrounded by cloud mist. Ye Xuong continuously absorbed the Power of the Clouds while gradually blending his other inner strength with it to form a powerful synergy!
The impressive strength of Ye Xuong even caught Tian Si off guard because according to the information Tian Si possessed, Ye Xuong didn’t actually have significant power. Yet now, Ye Xuong’s exhibited mighty combat ability left Tian Si astonished.
Nevertheless, Tian Si would not be intimidated by Ye Xuong. He sneered and said, “Despite the power you have revealed being immense, you still stand no chance of winning against me! Now, let me show you what true power is!”
With that, Tian Si lunged at Ye Xuong!
Tian Si’s hand chop sliced directly toward Ye Xuong. After unleashing his full power, Ye Xuong’s vision and reaction time improved significantly, and despite the ferocity of Tian Si’s chop, Ye Xuong still had the ability to block it.
Ye Xuong countered Tian Si’s chop with a punch!
The clash of fist and palm erupted with a violent sound.
Yet neither retreated, maintaining the stance of intersecting blows, competing with their inner strengths.
The black mist seeping from Tian Si’s body and the cloud mist on Ye Xuong’s surface intertwined, one black one white, like a spectacular Taiji pattern.
