124: Chapter 124 A Powerful Enemy Appears

By the side of the poisonous pool in the Falling Star Swamp.

Ye Tian and the other two looked at their opponents with grave expressions.

Four at the Ningyuan Realm Fifth Stage and one at the Ningyuan Realm Sixth Stage.

Such a lineup to deal with the three of them, who were new Disciples, was definitely premeditated.

The battle erupted, and Liu Ruyan and Leng Feng each engaged one of the Iron Eagle Gang assassins.

Leng Feng fared better; his cultivation was at the Fourth Level of Yuan Condensation Peak, nearly stepping into the fifth stage. He was evenly matched with his opponent, and with his sharp swordsmanship, he was trading blows back and forth with the Ningyuan Fifth Stage assassin for the time being.

But Liu Ruyan was in a precarious situation.

Her opponent was also at the Ningyuan Fifth Stage, with ruthless saber techniques and strength far superior to hers.

She could only struggle to hold on using defensive arts; her clothes had already been slashed in several places by Saber Qi, her pretty face was pale, and she was drenched in sweat, having fallen into a disadvantageous position.

On the other side, Ye Tian was facing three people alone.

Brother Ma had originally thought that with the three of them joining forces, even if Ye Tian had some strange tricks, taking down a kid at the Fourth Level of Yuan Condensation would be easy.

But once they clashed, he realized he was terribly wrong!

Ye Tian's movement technique was eerie and unpredictable; every time they exchanged blows, he caused their attacks to miss!

Conversely, Ye Tian appeared calm and unhurried, and every strike he made forced them into a panic.

"Is this kid a monster?!"

The more Brother Ma fought, the more alarmed he became, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

He roared, pushing his Ningyuan Sixth Stage cultivation to the limit, his palms glowing with a dark light as he attacked Ye Tian frantically.

Yet, such ferocious attacks held no threat in Ye Tian's eyes; he wove through Brother Ma's offensive as if he were playing.

In reality, given his cultivation and the Physical Body tempered by the Dragon Elephant Art, attacks of this level from the opponent could not break his defense at all.

The reason he was dodging was entirely to practice the Taixu Star-Shift Steps.

That's right, he was using the opponent's attacks to hone his own movement technique!

If the opponent knew, he would probably be so angry he'd vomit blood.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he seized an opening that Brother Ma had revealed after using the same move multiple times!

His figure flickered, dodging Brother Ma's palm wind, and a burst of hidden force erupted from his right fist—it was the Overlapping Wave Fist that he hadn't used in a long time!

He had now Cultivated this Martial Skill to the sixth layer, the hidden force contained but not released, concentrated at a single point!

"Boom!"

The fist smashed solidly into the chest of the caught-off-guard assassin!

"Pfft!"

The assassin instantly felt an impact like a mountain; his eyes bulged, and he sprayed a mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments.

Immediately afterward, his entire body flew out like a cannonball, and he breathed his last before even hitting the ground!

Killed in one punch!

Brother Ma and the other assassin were stunned by this sudden turn of events, and their offensive faltered.

Ye Tian seized this momentary lapse in their focus, and starlight suddenly appeared at his fingertips!

"Starfall Finger!"

It instantly pierced through the other assassin's forehead!

The look of terror on that person's face froze before it could fade, his eyes instantly dimmed, and he fell straight backward.

Within a few breaths, two Ningyuan Fifth Stage assassins were dead!

Brother Ma finally felt fear and couldn't help but instinctively retreat several steps, his eyes filled with horror: "You... what is your actual cultivation!"

Just then, a cry of surprise came from Liu Ruyan on the other side!

She was ultimately exhausted, her longsword knocked away by her opponent's saber, and the blade was aimed straight at her throat!

She was on the verge of death!

"Junior Sister Liu!"

Leng Feng was anxious at the sight, but he was entangled by his opponent and couldn't reach her in time to save her.

Ye Tian's eyes turned cold, and his figure instantly blurred!

He executed the Taixu Star-Shift Steps and appeared in front of Liu Ruyan in an instant.

Facing the incoming blade, he threw a single punch, smashing directly onto the edge of the blade!

"Clang!"

Ye Tian was unscathed, while the assassin's tiger's mouth had split open, and his long saber had been knocked away by the force!

The man himself was shaken by the shockwave of the punch, his blood and Qi churning, and he stumbled backward.

Ye Tian pressed his advantage and pointed through the air with his fingers!

It shot straight at the heart of the assassin who was currently entangled with Leng Feng!

The assassin's previously smug expression instantly froze; feeling a fatal threat, he instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late!

"Pfft!"

The finger wind pierced through his body!

The man's body stiffened and slowly collapsed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the two assassins besieging Liu Ruyan and Leng Feng were taken care of by Ye Tian with a mere wave of his hand!

On the scene, only the dumbstruck Liu Ruyan and Leng Feng remained, along with the ashen-faced, trembling Brother Ma.

Liu Ruyan, still shaken, looked at the back standing in front of her, too shocked to speak.

She had never imagined that this Junior Brother, who usually appeared calm and low-key, possessed such terrifying strength!

Leng Feng sheathed his sword and stood, nodding, a hint of Battle Intent appearing in his eyes.

Ye Tian's strength far exceeded his expectations.

Fourth Level of Yuan Condensation? What a joke!

"Thump!"

Brother Ma completely broke down, his legs going weak as he knelt on the ground, kowtowing vigorously: "Spare me! Spare me, Young Hero! This one was blind and offended you!"

"It was all... it was all Zhao Qian from the Law Enforcement Hall! He paid to hire our Iron Eagle Gang to... to take your life! This one was just following orders!"

In the face of the fear of death, he betrayed his employer without hesitation.

Ye Tian's eyes were cold. Zhao Qian!

He knew this person; he seemed to be the uncle of Zhao Kanglong and Zhao Kanghu. It seemed these people were determined to get rid of him.

"Besides you, who else did they send to kill me? Speak!" Ye Tian's voice was chilling.

"No... it's possible that our Vice Gang Leader... he is nearby to provide backup! Young Hero, I've said everything I know, please spare my life!" Brother Ma was streaming with tears and snot.

A flash of Killing Intent crossed Ye Tian's eyes.

Keeping a desperate scoundrel like this was just asking for trouble.

He slowly raised his hand, True Qi gathering at his fingertips.

Feeling the Killing Intent, Brother Ma screamed in despair!

Just as Ye Tian was about to strike.

A cold, sinister shout rang out from the dense forest behind them!

"Stop!"

At the same time, an aura far more powerful than Brother Ma's pressed down on them!

Liu Ruyan and Leng Feng's expressions changed drastically; under this aura, they couldn't even muster a thought of resistance!

Ye Tian's pupils constricted; the newcomer's aura was extremely formidable!

He dared not hide anything anymore!

"Boom!"

The aura of the Condensing Essence Seventh Level Middle Stage erupted from within his body!

His green robes fluttered without wind, starlight flowed around him, and he forcibly resisted that pressure!

He turned abruptly and threw a punch toward the source of the aura!

"Bang!"

A black shadow flashed out from the forest, throwing a punch!

The two fists collided, emitting a muffled sound!

A wave of Qi exploded, blowing away the mud and water on the ground!

Ye Tian slid back two or three steps, his expression grave.

The black shadow also let out a muffled grunt and retreated four or five steps before stabilizing his figure.

As the dust settled, everyone saw the newcomer clearly.

It was a middle-aged man wearing dark purple clothes with a sinister face.

His aura had clearly reached the Condensing Essence Seventh Level Peak!

At this moment, the man's face also held a trace of shock. He looked at Ye Tian, his Killing Intent undisguised: "Condensing Essence Seventh Level?! Kid, you were hiding very deep!"

Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan, who was standing to the side, had long been stunned by the aura Ye Tian had instantly unleashed. Her red lips were slightly parted, her beautiful eyes wide open, and her mind was blank: "Condensing Essence... Seventh Level? Junior Brother Ye, he..."

This fact almost overturned her understanding of new Disciples!

Even on Leng Feng's eternally cold and grim face, a fluctuation appeared for the first time.

Brother Ma, who was kneeling on the ground, saw the middle-aged man appear as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, crying and crawling toward the man: "Vice Gang Leader! Vice Gang Leader Chen! Save me! This kid... this kid is a monster!"

The Iron Eagle Gang's Vice Gang Leader, Chen Hezhi!

Had arrived in person!
