386: Chapter 386 Do I have to treat you again?

The two hiding behind the corner, planning to be the "orioles," were so scared they almost cried out; they hurriedly covered their mouths, their eyes filled with absolute horror.

Ye Tian slowly withdrew his finger, his cold gaze already locked onto the remaining Second and Third of the Grey Wolf Three Evils.

"Damn it, you dare ruin our good business! Third, let's go together!"

Second reacted the fastest; although terrified, his ferocity was triggered. With a sharp shout, he and Third lunged forward fiercely!

Two long sabers whipped up blade light, one hacking at the head, the other sweeping at the waist and abdomen—truly ruthless!

Unfortunately, how could they possibly keep up with Ye Tian's speed?

Before their offensive was even halfway through, Ye Tian's figure had already vanished. In the next second, two lightning figures split from his main body, meeting the two respectively!

Second and Third of the Grey Wolf Three Evils only felt their vision blur as the target suddenly split into three, and each one had the same aura, making it hard to tell the real from the fake!

Just as the two were hesitating, Ye Tian's main body had already appeared beside Third.

Heart-Shattering Finger!

Third's whole body shook violently, his figure suddenly freezing as an expression of extreme pain appeared on his face.

He looked down at his chest; there was no wound there, but his heart had already been shattered by the finger force!

"You... I... No..."

He wanted to say something, but before he could finish, he fell backward and died.

"Third!" Second's eyes were nearly splitting, but his heart was filled with regret.

He knew he had kicked a steel plate; this suddenly appearing young man's strength was terrifyingly far beyond imagination!

He no longer had any Battle Intent. With a feint of his saber, he turned and fled desperately toward the passage on the other side of the cave!

"Want to leave?" Ye Tian's eyes were cold. Since he had made a move, there was no reason to let the tiger return to the mountain.

His figure didn't move; he only raised his right sword finger and pointed into the air toward the direction Second was fleeing.

In an instant, lightning flashed in the cave!

Hundreds of fine lightning Sword Qi shot toward Second!

"No..." Second only had time to let out half a desperate roar before being submerged by the endless lightning Sword Qi.

The sword net swept past, leaving only a charred corpse covered in sword marks, emitting black smoke.

Shui Qingdie clutched the wound on her shoulder, her beautiful eyes wide and her small mouth slightly agape, staring blankly at Ye Tian's back, momentarily forgetting to speak.

She knew Junior Brother Ye was strong; he had killed Nangong Zhuo in the Seventh Corridor before, but then she was more shocked by the result and hadn't seen the whole process.

But now, witnessing him crushingly kill three notoriously fierce True Martial Tenth Stage Peak experts, this visual and mental impact was even more direct and intense!

That terrifying speed and lethality... Junior Brother Ye, just how strong is he?

Meanwhile, the pair of "oriole" brothers hiding behind the corner had long since had their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, their faces devoid of color.

The elder brother firmly covered the younger's mouth, himself trembling all over, cold sweat pouring down.

"O... One finger killed the Grey Wolf boss?"

"What kind of movement technique is that? How did he suddenly turn into three?"

"And that Sword Qi... it's too terrifying!"

"He... is he really in the Sea Transformation Realm? This power... can the Sea Transformation First Layer be this strong?!"

Waves of shock surged in their hearts, feeling incredibly lucky they hadn't acted rashly just now; otherwise, those three charred corpses on the ground would be their fate!

Where was this guy a fat sheep? He was clearly an ancient Vicious Beast in sheep's clothing!

Ye Tian turned to look at Shui Qingdie, frowning slightly: "Senior Sister Shui, how are you? Can you walk?"

"I... I'm fine, just a superficial wound. Thank you, Junior Brother Ye!"

Shui Qingdie finally came to her senses and hurriedly thanked him, her gaze toward Ye Tian full of gratitude and a hint of complexity.

She quickly took out a Medicinal Pill to swallow and used Golden Sore Ointment to treat the wound on her shoulder.

"Between fellow disciples, there's no need for thanks."

Ye Tian waved his hand, walked to the corpses of the Grey Wolf Three Evils, picked up their Storage Pouches, and after a brief search, indeed found that "Water" seal among the Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills.

He handed the Water Seal to Shui Qingdie: "Senior Sister, keep it safe."

Shui Qingdie took the Water Seal and thanked him again, a warm current flowing through her heart.

In this crisis-ridden labyrinth, the friendship of fellow disciples seemed particularly precious.

Ye Tian then walked to the corner where the pair of "oriole" brothers were hiding and spoke indifferently: "Come out. Do I have to invite you?"

Behind the corner was dead silence. After several breaths, the two finally shuffled out, their faces pale and legs weak.

The "Big Brother" was a middle-aged man with a short beard, his cultivation at the Early Stage of Sea Transformation First Layer. The younger brother was a lean youth at the True Martial Tenth Level.

The gaze the two directed at Ye Tian now was filled with fear.

"Se... Senior, spare us! Senior, spare us! This little one failed to recognize Mt. Tai, my heart was blinded by lard, I shouldn't have targeted Senior! Please, Senior, be magnanimous and let us go like a fart!"

The short-bearded man fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing desperately. The lean youth also hurriedly knelt, trembling all over.

Ye Tian looked at them, his tone flat: "Are you also here for the chaos token?"

"No... we wouldn't dare!" The short-bearded man shook his head hurriedly. "This little one... I heard some rumors that Senior... that you had many talismanic seals, so... I had a wicked thought.

This little one will never dare again! Senior, spare us!"

Ye Tian remained non-committal and asked: "What else do you know about this labyrinth?

The sensing of the tokens—besides direction, are there other hints? Have you encountered others? Especially those of the Nangong Family, or those with particularly strong auras?"

To save his life, the short-bearded man told everything: "Reporting to Senior, this labyrinth is ridiculously large with countless forks. It also changes mysteriously from time to time. We got lost not long after entering.

The token sensing only gives a vague direction, no other hints. Others... we heard sounds of fighting from a distance before but didn't dare approach. People from the Nangong Family... we haven't met them.

However, we saw traces of a fight at a fork earlier. There were fresh scorch marks. The Fire-attribute True Yuan was very domineering; it might be that person from the Nangong Family..."

"Nangong Zhaotian?" Ye Tian's eyes narrowed.

"Yes, yes, it's Nangong Zhaotian!" The short-bearded man nodded hurriedly. "Besides him, no one else should have such domineering Fire-attribute True Yuan.

Looking at the marks, the battle ended very quickly. The opponent might have been instantly killed."

Ye Tian nodded. It seemed Nangong Zhaotian's strength was indeed as Nangong Xiao had said.

"Are there any other experts? Li Xuanxiao of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Qin Pojun of the East Guard Prince's Mansion, the Ghost Girl of the Xuanming Way, and two elders at the Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation—have you seen them?"

The short-bearded man tried hard to recall: "We didn't see Li Xuanxiao or Qin Pojun. Those two are too terrifying; if we encountered them, we would definitely stay far away.

The enchantress of the Xuanming Way... I seem to have caught a glimpse of a black shadow in the distance; the speed was extremely fast, I didn't see clearly.

As for those two Seniors at the Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation... one of them, an old Daoist in green robes, we seem to have encountered him in the northeast direction. He also seemed to be looking for something. He was very fast and didn't pay us any mind.

The other one in grey, we didn't see."

Ye Tian asked some more questions about the labyrinth's terrain, any special traps or mechanisms, etc. The short-bearded man's knowledge was limited, but he provided some fragmented information.

For example, some forks would mysteriously become dead ends, walls would move in some places, and there were residual, dangerous Formation fluctuations in others.

"Senior, we've told you everything we know. Please show mercy..." the short-bearded man pleaded.

Ye Tian looked at them, his eyes full of disdain.

Killing such people would simply dirty his hands.

"Get lost. Don't have thoughts you shouldn't have again."

"Yes, yes! Thank you, Senior, for your mercy!"

Hearing Ye Tian tell them to get lost, the two were not angry but instead got up very gratefully and fled in the opposite direction from Ye Tian at high speed without looking back.

"Junior Brother Ye, you're just letting them go? They..." Shui Qingdie was a bit worried.

"Two minor characters, they don't matter." Ye Tian shook his head. "The priority now is to find the tokens. Senior Sister Shui, have you sensed the location of the water element token?"

Shui Qingdie nodded and pointed in a direction: "The sensing is very vague, roughly in that direction. What about you, Junior Brother Ye?"

Ye Tian also sensed the chaos talismanic seal and pointed in another slightly different direction: "Mine is over there. It seems the tokens are scattered throughout the labyrinth. Senior Sister, how is your injury? Can you act alone?"

Shui Qingdie had taken the pill, and her injury had stabilized somewhat, but she knew her own strength; acting alone in this labyrinth was indeed dangerous.

"Junior Brother Ye, I... can I go with you? Once I find the water element token, I'll return to the stone platform immediately and won't be a burden to you." She bit her lip, her eyes full of entreaty.

Having witnessed Ye Tian's strength, she knew very well that staying by his side was the safest.
