387: Chapter 387 Casually Swatting Two Flies

Ye Tian pondered for a moment.

Although the directions of the water element token and the chaos token were different, the maze paths were winding, so it was not impossible to take care of both.

Besides, Shui Qingdie was a fellow disciple, and after what had just happened, he really didn't feel at ease letting a woman travel alone.

"Fine, then we shall travel together for a while. Let's try to help you find the water element token first. But stay close to me and be careful," Ye Tian agreed with a nod.

Shui Qingdie was overjoyed: "Thank you, Junior Brother Ye!"

The two rested for a moment. Ye Tian collected the useful items from the Grey Wolf Three Evils' Storage Pouch, which were just some Spirit Stones and a few bottles of Medicinal Pills, and then they proceeded according to the direction Shui Qingdie sensed.

Ye Tian walked in front, his aura restrained, his spiritual sense extended as far as possible to scout.

Shui Qingdie followed closely behind, holding a soft sword in her hand, fully alert.

The maze was deep and filled with intersecting paths.

The two walked for about half an hour. During this time, they encountered two traces of fighting. One was left by frost, likely from someone from Cold Silence Valley.

The other was a mess, seemingly a wall shattered by brute force, and the traces were fresh.

"Wait, there is movement ahead." Ye Tian suddenly stopped and transmitted his voice to Shui Qingdie.

He heard rapid breathing from behind the corner ahead, along with the sound of a Sharp Weapon cutting through the air.

It was Pei Tieshan's voice!

Ye Tian's eyes turned cold. His figure accelerated instantly, darting toward the corner.

Shui Qingdie also hurried to follow.

Turning the corner, they found a place similar to a stone hall.

Pei Tieshan was leaning against the stone wall, covered in blood. There was a charred wound on his chest, emitting blue smoke, as if caused by fire-attributed Qi.

The broadsword in his hand already had several chips, and his aura was weak; he was severely injured.

And the two people besieging him were:

One was the black-clad middle-aged man who had been beside Nangong Zhaotian, with bulging temples and sinister eyes. He held a pair of black spikes, his Moves were cunning, and his movement technique was eerie, circling Pei Tieshan to attack repeatedly.

The other was a stranger in a red robe, with a cultivation at the Peak of the Sea Transformation First Layer. He held a crimson longsword, his sword technique fierce, and his fire-attributed Qi was scorching and overbearing—clearly from the Nangong Family.

He attacked head-on, every sword strike fierce, forcing Pei Tieshan to endure it head-on. The charred wound on his chest was left by him.

Except for these two, Nangong Zhaotian and the withered old man at the Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation were not here.

"Pei Tieshan, if you are sensible, hand over the Talisman Seal, and I will spare your life!" the red-robed youth shouted coldly while attacking fiercely.

"Bullshit! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"

Pei Tieshan spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide with rage. Although heavily injured, his ferocity remained undiminished. He brandished his broadsword like a mad tiger, a desperate fighting style that made the two somewhat wary for a moment.

"Stubborn! Then I'll send you on your way!"

The black-clad middle-aged man sneered, appearing behind Pei Tieshan's side, and the black spikes stabbed silently toward Pei Tieshan!

At the same time, the red-robed youth also thrust his sword, one in front and one behind, leaving Pei Tieshan with no way to retreat!

Despair appeared in Pei Tieshan's eyes; he knew he probably couldn't block this blow.

"Seeking death!"

Suddenly, a sharp shout exploded!

The next instant, a blue finger wind shot over; it was exactly the Starfall Finger unleashed by Ye Tian!

The black-clad middle-aged man was shocked. He was skilled in movement techniques and assassination, with extremely fast speed, but this figure's speed was far faster than his!

He had no time to change his Move, so he could only barely hold the black spikes horizontally in front of his chest while frantically driving his Qi to protect his body.

"Crack!" The black spikes and his protective Qi shattered instantly!

And the power of that finger wind struck his chest without any reduction in force!

"Puff!" The black-clad middle-aged man's body shook violently, his eyes bulged, he spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and died instantly.

He didn't even see who killed him until he died.

Meanwhile, the moment Ye Tian killed the black-clad middle-aged man, a lightning shadow he had split off appeared beside the red-robed youth and poked a finger at his temple!

The red-robed youth was shocked. He didn't expect the change to happen so quickly, and his companion was instantly killed!

He couldn't care about attacking Pei Tieshan anymore and tried to parry with his longsword.

However, the finger-sword was too fast, bypassing the blade and tapping on his temple.

The red-robed youth's body stiffened suddenly, and his longsword fell to the ground.

His face still held an expression of horror, but his eyes dimmed rapidly, black blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he fell backward.

In the blink of an eye, both were dead!

Pei Tieshan maintained the posture of swinging his sword to parry, eyes wide, looking at the suddenly appeared Ye Tian, both surprised and happy: "Ye... Junior Brother Ye?!"

Shui Qingdie also rushed over. Seeing Pei Tieshan's miserable state, she hurriedly stepped forward to support him and took out a Medicinal Pill for him to take.

"Senior Brother Pei, how are your injuries?"

Ye Tian quickly checked Pei Tieshan's injuries. The fire-attributed sword wound on his chest was the most serious, burning his lungs, while others were skin wounds and internal organ vibrations, not fatal, but required timely treatment.

"Still... still not dead yet!"

Pei Tieshan swallowed the Medicinal Pill, caught his breath, looked at the two corpses on the ground, and then looked at Ye Tian, grinning, but it affected his wound, making him gasp in pain.

"Damn it, these two bastards chased me all the way! If it weren't for you, Junior Brother Ye, coming in time, I, old Pei, would have died here today!"

"Senior Brother, there is no need for courtesy. I just swatted two flies in passing. Have you seen Nangong Zhaotian and that old man at the Fourth Stage of Sea Transformation?" Ye Tian asked.

"I haven't seen them! Just these two grandsons!" Pei Tieshan cursed, "Not long after I was teleported to this ghost place, I sensed the direction of the token. I hadn't walked far before I was targeted by these two.

That fire-playing grandson is from the Nangong Family, at the Sea Transformation First Layer. The one who used the spikes had very fast movement techniques and should be an assassin recruited by the Nangong Family.

The two of them joined forces, I couldn't beat them, so I fled all the way here and was cornered."

Ye Tian nodded. It seems that Nangong Zhaotian and the withered old man were either searching for tokens separately or had gone elsewhere.

He looked at Pei Tieshan: "Senior Brother Pei, what is the direction of your token?"

Pei Tieshan pointed in one direction: "Over there, it should be 'Gold' or 'Earth'? The sensing is very vague, and I can't distinguish it clearly. Junior Brother Ye, what about you two?"

Ye Tian and Shui Qingdie stated their respective sensing directions.

Pei Tieshan's sensing direction deviated significantly from Ye Tian's chaos token direction, but it was somewhat close to Shui Qingdie's water element token direction.

"Senior Brother Pei's injuries are not light, and he needs to adjust his breathing. Senior Sister Shui, let's escort Senior Brother Pei to find his token first, and then find yours, how about that?" Ye Tian proposed.

Pei Tieshan's injuries were relatively heavy, and it was too dangerous to act alone. Moreover, his token direction was close to Shui Qingdie's, so it could be on the way.

"Good! I'll listen to Junior Brother Ye!" Pei Tieshan and Shui Qingdie naturally had no objections.

Moreover, they were also worried about other fellow disciples, wondering if they encountered the same danger as them?

Ye Tian quickly dealt with the two corpses, mainly looting the spoils, and found the "Fire" seal of the red-robed youth and some Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills. There was nothing valuable on the black-clad middle-aged man.

Then he took the two of them and walked carefully in the direction Pei Tieshan sensed.

On the way, Ye Tian told the two about some conditions of the maze and the information he got from the short-bearded man, reminding them to be careful about the maze changes and other competitors.

Pei Tieshan took the Medicinal Pill and adjusted his breathing for a while; his complexion improved a bit, but his movement was still inconvenient. The three of them moved slowly.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, passing through several forks, angry shouts and roars of a Yao Beast suddenly came from ahead.

"It's Senior Brother Dongfang's voice!" Shui Qingdie's expression changed.

"And the roar of a Yao Beast! Let's go over and take a look!" Ye Tian's eyes narrowed, signaling the two to be careful, while he accelerated and moved stealthily toward the direction the sound came from.
