Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291

"What’s wrong? Can’t attack anymore? Hehehehe~~~~~ Ye Tian, with your current state, you’re bound to lose!"

Xifeng grew increasingly smug, seeing himself gaining more advantage. His attacks on Ye Tian became faster and more furious, pushing Ye Tian to the brink of desperation.

In such a circumstance, Ye Tian was already expending enormous effort merely to fend off Xifeng’s attacks, so how could he spare any thought to seek Xifeng’s weakness?

The progression of the battle truly seemed as predicted by Xifeng; at this rate, Ye Tian’s defeat was inevitable!

A group of martial artists in recovery were also feeling restless...

"Damn it, the boss is caught in a bitter struggle! His injuries hadn’t fully healed in the first place, and now, with that Xifeng’s fierce assault, how can he manage?"

"Exactly! Now is not the time for us injured to continue recuperating; we should fight together and help Ye Tian defeat that guy!"

"But would our intervention be useful? Would it cause more trouble for Ye Tian?"

"Even if it’s of no use, we can’t afford to lose in spirit to that Xifeng! Even if it means dying, we can’t die so disgracefully!"

Despite their injuries and fatigue, the martial artists couldn’t resist the urge to fight. Yet, even with strong fighting will, they hesitated, for their strength was far too inferior to Xifeng’s. Even if they acted impulsively, they feared reaping no good results.

While the martial artists were uncertain whether to act, they heard "swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~~~~" as a series of black qi forces dashed towards Xifeng!

Xifeng was startled, as faced with the black qi forces he didn’t stand still, but dodged sideways.

Ye Tian was slightly surprised; why could these black qi forces repel Xifeng?

Just as Ye Tian was puzzled, he noticed who released these black qi forces—it was indeed Tian Qi!

Gearing up the Power of Death within her body, directing the force through her fingers and blasting it out was Tian Qi’s specialty. The black qi force’s potency was no less than the most piercing bullets.

However, Tian Qi’s severe wounds hadn’t healed, and now, forcing herself to battle naturally wasn’t beneficial for her recovery!

Ye Tian shouted, but Tian Qi wouldn’t listen?

Other martial artists hesitated about stepping in upon seeing Ye Tian on the losing side, but Tian Qi wasn’t the same; observing Ye Tian in danger, she decisively couldn’t sit still.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

While wielding black qi forces to repel Xifeng, Tian Qi was continually coughing, a sign that her severe injuries hadn’t healed!

"Stop it, Qiqi! If you continue , you’ll die of qi force depletion!"

Ye Tian kept persuading, but Tian Qi merely gave a faint smile and continued unleashing her force from her fingertips!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~"

Several more qi forces shot towards Xifeng; compared to before, this time the power seemed even stronger and fiercer!

Even with Xifeng’s might, and despite the dense Ice Armor covering his body, he dared not be careless, using swift Qinggong to dodge Tian Qi’s black qi force attacks! Follow current novels on ⓝovelFire.net

"This damned woman doesn’t know what’s good for her!"

Xifeng exclaimed angrily, as Tian Qi wasn’t far from him, so after a few flashes, he closed in on her!

Xifeng swung his fist heavily, aiming directly at Tian Qi’s face, while Tian Qi focused solely on her ranged qi force attacks, lacking any self-defense...

If hit by Xifeng’s iron fist, in such a condition, Tian Qi would surely die!

At the critical moment, Ye Tian leaped forward, positioning himself in front of Tian Qi...

As he needed to protect Tian Qi, Ye Tian obviously couldn’t evade at all, he swung his fist fiercely, counteracting Xifeng’s fist with a punch!

"Boom boom boom boom boom~~~~~~~~~~"

A fierce explosion of sound erupted as both exerted their full force in the fist clash, causing the ground to tremble endlessly, like a seven- or eight-level earthquake.

The ice beneath cracked, ice shards flew all around, evaporating instantly due to the massive force, raising dense steam into the air, blurring everyone’s vision.

"This guy still has such great power?"

Elder Xifeng gritted his teeth in anger. When he sparred with Ye Tian earlier, Ye Tian had already shown signs of fatigue. He hadn’t expected that within Ye Tian’s body, there was still such immense power hidden, a power capable of contending with the force that could shatter Tian Qi’s body!

Since Elder Xifeng couldn’t see, he couldn’t continue the aggressive attack, allowing Ye Tian time to take Tian Qi away...

However, at this moment, Ye Tian did not seem at ease!

Tian Qi could only feel Ye Tian’s breath weakening constantly, yet she couldn’t see what had happened to him, which made her exceptionally anxious...

"Ye Tian, what’s wrong? What’s wrong?"

Tian Qi kept asking, but Ye Tian did not answer. It wasn’t until the steam slowly dissipated that Tian Qi could see Ye Tian’s current condition clearly.

She saw Ye Tian’s face ashen, his body seemingly torn apart and constantly bleeding, with fresh blood continuously spurting from his mouth...

"Ye Tian, are you alright?"

Tian Qi was utterly panicked. Could it be that Ye Tian had sustained such serious injuries in order to save her just now?

"I’m just a wretched life, Ye Tian, why did you need to save me?"

Tian Qi blamed herself bitterly, but just as she finished speaking, a voice beside her rang out!

"Silly girl, stop being so sentimental. This guy wasn’t hurt by me; it’s just that his body has already reached its limit!"

As he spoke, Elder Xifeng approached Ye Tian and Tian Qi.

In Elder Xifeng’s hand, he actually held three silver needles. Elder Xifeng was not skilled in using needles, so these three silver needles were naturally not his; they belonged to Ye Tian.

"Am I not right, Ye Tian? I thought your injuries had healed, but it turns out you were relying on these three silver needles to hold on. Unfortunately, no matter what methods you use in front of me, it’s all to no avail! Now, your body is nearly torn apart; how can you resist me?"

Elder Xifeng’s words left Ye Tian unable to retort.

Indeed, as Elder Xifeng said, Ye Tian was undoubtedly struggling!

The injuries sustained in the battle with Elder Nan Feng would not heal even in ten days or half a month, let alone half an hour...

Yet, if he didn’t act, his brothers would all perish at Elder Xifeng’s hands, leading to certain defeat in the battle for the southern city!

Ye Tian did not want to fail those brothers who risked their lives to buy him time, so he gritted his teeth and pushed forward!

Although his injuries couldn’t heal quickly, Ye Tian used a secret technique in acupuncture, inserting the three silver needles into his body.

With the help of the three silver needles, Ye Tian’s body could temporarily forget the pain, and his strength restored to its peak; thus, he initially could contend with Elder Xifeng, evenly matched!

However, this was ultimately a way of fighting akin to killing the hen for its egg. The longer the battle with Elder Xifeng dragged on, the more disadvantageous it became for Ye Tian. During the fight, Ye Tian’s power gradually waned, allowing Elder Xifeng to slowly gain the upper hand.

Nevertheless, being at a disadvantage didn’t mean Ye Tian’s acupuncture secret technique would fail. But when Ye Tian saw Tian Qi in mortal danger, he couldn’t help but step in to shield her from Elder Xifeng’s attack.

Because of using excessive force, although Ye Tian managed to fend off Elder Xifeng’s assault, the effort forced the three silver needles that were pierced into his body to eject outwards, shooting straight at Elder Xifeng and ending up in his hand...

Elder Xifeng, worthy of being a formidable martial artist, immediately understood Ye Tian’s tactics with just the three silver needles, recognizing that Ye Tian’s body was already collapsing and couldn’t sustain for much longer.

The method of stimulating the body’s strength and alleviating pain by piercing acupoints with silver needles was a double-edged sword. Once removed, Ye Tian would face unprecedented pain, feeling as if torn apart, rendering him incapable of sustaining.

"Ye Tian, how are you? Are you alright?"

Seeing Ye Tian drenched in sweat, Tian Qi anxiously inquired, but at this moment, how could Ye Tian utter a single word?

Ye Tian clenched his fists, desperately holding back the pain within, using his own Inner Strength to maintain the flow of Qi and blood, ensuring his body could stay stable.

Watching Ye Tian’s struggle to hold on, Elder Xifeng grew even more smug, letting out a sinister laugh!

"Ye Tian, now that you’re struggling to hold your own, I want to see how you’ll handle my next attack!"

After all, being a powerful opponent, Elder Xifeng certainly wouldn’t watch idly as Ye Tian recovered. He suddenly swung his fist fiercely in the direction of Ye Tian and Tian Qi!

Tian Qi screamed. With her Light Skill Steps, there was no way she could dodge such a fierce attack from Elder Xifeng.

Fortunately, Ye Tian still had a shred of strength. In the nick of time, Ye Tian held Tian Qi, and with a powerful stomp, they narrowly avoided Elder Xifeng’s strike.

With a heavy crash, Elder Xifeng’s fist blasted a huge hole in the ground, but fortunately, Ye Tian and Tian Qi, with timely evasion, were not affected by Elder Xifeng’s punch force...
