378: Chapter 378 If you insist on stopping me, then stay here with me!

Now that he was using this Martial Skill, its power was many times stronger than before!

Three streaks of finger force silently entered the holes.

Puchi, puchi, puchi!

Three muffled sounds came from the holes, and then, there was no more movement.

The hidden crossbowmen were killed instantly.

"Who is it!" Nangong Xiao's shocked and angry roar came from the platform.

The two Talisman users behind the rock to the front right were about to activate their Talismans again when their vision blurred, and Ye Tian was already standing before them.

The two were terrified, wanting to retreat and throw their Talismans.

But Ye Tian's movements were faster.

"Heart-Shattering Palm."

The man felt a tightness in his chest, followed by a sharp pain in his heart. Without even a groan, he fell backward, dark blood seeping from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose; his heart had already been shattered by the palm force.

The person on the right was so scared he forgot to throw the Talisman in his hand and turned to run.

Ye Tian didn't even look at him, casually waving his right hand.

A streak of lightning Sword Qi instantly swept across the man's neck.

"Ten Thousand Sword Thunder Art."

The man's body stiffened abruptly, and he collapsed to the ground, breathless.

From the moment Ye Tian appeared to the time he dealt with the five hidden True Martial Tenth Level assassins and killed the two Talisman users, only three to five breaths had passed.

It was so fast that Nangong Xiao and Qian Buduo on the platform hadn't even reacted.

"Ye... Ye Tian!" Nangong Xiao's Face was pale, and his hand holding the sword was trembling.

He knew Ye Tian was powerful, but he hadn't expected him to be this strong! Killing True Martial Tenth Level Cultivators was like chopping vegetables!

The fake smile on Qian Buduo's Face also froze, a hint of fear flashing in his small eyes. He quietly took half a step back, hiding behind the two Nangong Family Disciples.

"Nangong Xiao, it seems your Nangong Family is planning to end its lineage." Ye Tian walked toward the platform step by step.

With every step he took, his Aura rose another notch, pressing down so hard it was difficult to breathe.

"You... stay back!" Nangong Xiao roared, shouting to the two Disciples beside him and Qian Buduo, "Go! All of you, go! Kill him! My Nangong Family will reward you handsomely!"

The two Nangong Family Disciples looked at each other, both seeing the fear in the other's eyes.

But they didn't dare disobey Nangong Xiao's order. Steeling themselves, they attacked Ye Tian with their swords from the left and right.

The sword light was sharp, but it posed no threat to Ye Tian.

Qian Buduo's eyes darted around, and he suddenly shouted, "Brother Ye! It's a misunderstanding! All a misunderstanding! I was forced by Nangong Xiao! I'm leaving now! Leaving right now!"

Saying that, he actually turned around, used a movement technique, and fled toward the upper part of the corridor without looking back!

He ran so fast that he didn't even care about his four guards.

"Qian Buduo! You bastard!" Nangong Xiao was so angry he almost spat blood.

Ye Tian sneered, not even glancing at the fleeing Qian Buduo. His target was Nangong Xiao.

As for Qian Buduo, a mere clown, if he ran, so be it; he would deal with him when the opportunity arose.

Facing the two incoming swords, Ye Tian didn't stop. He simply extended two fingers and lightly flicked the blades.

Ding! Ding!

With two crisp sounds, those two high-quality longswords were actually flicked away by Ye Tian's fingers!

The immense force caused the webbing of the two Nangong Family Disciples' thumbs to split. Their swords flew out of their hands, and they stumbled back over a dozen steps before falling onto their butts, absolutely terrified.

Ye Tian had already walked to a spot three steps away from Nangong Xiao. He stopped and looked at him calmly.

"Only you are left."

Cold sweat poured down Nangong Xiao's forehead, and his hand holding the sword shook even more violently.

He knew he was no match for Ye Tian, but he wasn't willing to just wait for death!

"Ye Tian! You dare kill me? My Nangong Family won't let you off!

My big brother Nangong Zhaotian has already come out of seclusion; he's already at the Sea Transformation Third Stage! And my Nangong Family's Elders..." Nangong Xiao hissed and roared, trying to use his Family background to intimidate him.

"Finished?" Ye Tian interrupted him, his eyes showing no ripple of emotion. "If you're finished, then it's time for you to go on your way. As for your Nangong Family, I will visit sooner or later. As for your brother, let him come."

"I'll fight you to the death!" Nangong Xiao knew begging for mercy was useless. A hint of madness flashed in his eyes as he suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of essence blood onto the longsword in his hand.

The longsword was instantly covered in a layer of bloody light, its Aura surging.

He performed a desperate forbidden technique of the Nangong Family, achieving the unity of man and sword, and lunged toward Ye Tian's heart with a tragic Aura!

This was his strongest strike!

However, in Ye Tian's eyes, this strike was full of flaws and as slow as a snail.

He even didn't bother to draw his sword.

"Taixu Star-Shift Steps."

Nangong Xiao's life-risking strike instantly hit nothing but air.

Because he had used too much force, his whole body stumbled forward.

Ye Tian took the opportunity to sidestep, raising his right elbow and casually striking backward.

"Crack!"

"Ah!" Nangong Xiao let out a shrill scream, flying sideways and crashing into the rock wall behind him before rolling to the ground.

He curled up on the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. His ribs were broken, and his internal organs were likely severely damaged. His Face was as pale as golden paper, and his Aura instantly withered to the extreme; he couldn't even crawl.

Ye Tian walked over and looked down at him with cold eyes, as if looking at an ant.

"Don't... don't kill me, Senior Brother Ye... Grandfather Ye Tian, I was wrong, I won't do it again.

Talisman Seals... I'll give you all my Talisman Seals. And the Nangong Family's secrets, I'll tell you everything, just please spare my life..."

Nangong Xiao had completely broken down, his Face covered in snot and tears. He struggled to beg for mercy, without a trace of his former arrogance as a young master of the Nangong Family.

"Your Talisman Seals will be mine anyway once I kill you," Ye Tian said indifferently. "As for the Nangong Family's secrets... I'm not interested."

He raised his foot, about to finish off this fellow who had tried to kill him time and again.

"Little friend, please show mercy!"

Just then, an old sigh suddenly came from the upper part of the corridor.

Immediately after, a powerful Aura suddenly descended, pressing down on Ye Tian!

Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation!

Ye Tian's eyes narrowed. He withdrew his foot, turned around, and looked toward the source of the sound.

He saw an ordinary-looking old man wearing gray hemp clothes, who had appeared above the corridor at some unknown time.

The old man stood there with his hands behind his back. Had he not proactively released his Aura, Ye Tian wouldn't have noticed him earlier.

The old man looked at the dog-like Nangong Xiao on the ground, then at Ye Tian, a hint of complexity flashing in his cloudy old eyes.

"I am a Guest Elder of the Nangong Family, Nangong Zhuo." The old man spoke slowly, "Little friend, when it is possible to let someone go, one should do so.

Young Master Xiao has his faults, but his crimes do not warrant death. Could you spare him once for the sake of the Nangong Family's Face? I am willing to offer two 'Sea-Condensing Pills' as compensation."

Sea-Condensing Pills were Medicinal Pills that helped Sea Transformation Realm Cultivators condense true essence and improve their cultivation, and they were quite precious.

This old man was clearly protecting Nangong Xiao in secret. He hadn't shown himself until Nangong Xiao's life was in danger.

It seemed the Nangong Family still valued this useless young master.

Ye Tian looked at the old man who called himself Nangong Zhuo and suddenly laughed.

"The Nangong Family's Face?" His smile was cold. "When he set an ambush to kill my fellow Disciples, did he ever give Face to the Liuli Xuan Sect? When he plotted against me time and again, did he ever think about showing mercy?"

Nangong Zhuo frowned slightly. "Little friend, leave a way out in everything. You have already severely injured Young Master Xiao; your anger should have subsided. Do you really want to fight the Nangong Family to the death? Although you are exceptionally talented, ultimately..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

No matter how powerful Ye Tian was, he was currently only a True Disciple of the Liuli Xuan Sect. It would be unwise to completely offend a colossus like the Nangong Family.

The Liuli Xuan Sect wouldn't go to war with the Nangong Family for the sake of a single Disciple.

"To the death?" Ye Tian laughed.

The old man had spoken politely at first, but now he was using this threatening tone again.

He hated these high-and-mighty old fellows the most.

"From the moment your Nangong Family issued a bounty and had the scum of the Red Hand Hall hunt me down in the Secret Realm, this grudge was already formed. And now you're talking to me about leaving a way out?"

"Nangong Xiao must die today. If you want to stop me, then stay behind together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivation of the Sea-Transformation Realm Level 3 Peak on Ye Tian's body erupted.

Nangong Zhuo's Face finally changed.

He hadn't expected Ye Tian to be so decisive, showing no regard for the Nangong Family's power.

What shocked him even more was that Ye Tian, at such a young age, had actually reached the Sea-Transformation Realm Level 3 Peak. No wonder he could defeat Bei Minghong!

"Little friend, do you truly intend to do this?" Nangong Zhuo's tone also turned cold, and the true essence around his body began to surge.

"Enough talk!" Ye Tian didn't waste any more words. sword unsheathed with a clang, lightning swirling around it as he pointed it directly at Nangong Zhuo.

"Good! Good! Good!" Nangong Zhuo said "good" three times, clearly enraged. "Since you refuse to listen to reason, then I shall discipline you on behalf of your Elders!"
