77: Chapter 77 Attempting to Reach the Fifth Level of the Dragon Elephant Technique

After a long time, Ye Tian slowly opened both eyes.

"Ningyuan Realm First Stage Middle Stage!"

The corners of his mouth curled into a satisfied arc.

At this moment, his strength was more than ten times greater than before he entered the Black Cloud Mountains!

He pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.

An invisible aura formed around him; it was the pressure naturally emitted by a Ningyuan Realm expert. Although he deliberately restrained it, the flowers and grass in the courtyard still bowed slightly.

"With my current strength, looking at the entire Luo City, the only one who might pose a threat to me is likely that Ningyuan Realm Third Stage City Lord, Huangfu Xiong."

Ye Tian looked up at the sky, a surge of pride in his heart.

Lin Batian of the Lin Family?

Yan She of the Black Cloud Stronghold?

Now, in his eyes, they were no longer a threat!

However, he did not get carried away in the slightest.

He knew very well that the real crisis came from the Chief of the Black Cloud Stronghold, Tu Qianshan, who was currently in seclusion pushing for the Ningyuan Realm Third Stage!

"In the Ningyuan Realm, the gap between each sub-Realm is enormous, let alone crossing two stages?" Ye Tian's expression was grave.

Even if his strength had increased significantly, his chances of winning would still not be high if he encountered a Ningyuan Third Stage expert head-on.

"But it's not like I have no power to resist!"

He thought of that Mystic Tortoise True Explanation!

"The fifth layer of the Dragon Elephant Art! Once mastered, my Physical Body will reach the strength of five dragons and five elephants, and my blood qi will soar, which is enough to make up for the gap in True Yuan cultivation!"

Ye Tian My heart is filled with anticipation.

He felt that after breaking through to the Ningyuan Realm, both his blood qi and True Yuan had undergone a qualitative change. The conditions for cultivating the fifth layer of the Dragon Elephant Art were already ripe!

"As long as I master the fifth layer, with my True Yuan and Physical Body far exceeding those of the same stage, I will have the power to fight even against Tu Qianshan of the Ningyuan Third Stage!"

Thinking of this, Ye Tian delayed no longer. He turned back to the quiet room, sat cross-legged once more, and took out the Mystic Tortoise True Explanation!

Turning to the page recording the Mind-Cultivation Technique for the fifth layer of the Dragon Elephant Art, he attempted to Cultivate.

"So that's how it is... tempering tendons and bones requires True Yuan as the fire and blood qi as the fuel to trigger the Innate power deep within the bone marrow!"

Ye Tian had a moment of realization.

No wonder his previous attempts at cultivation had failed; it turned out he was missing the power of True Yuan.

He adjusted his breathing and, according to the Mind-Cultivation Technique, began to guide the True Yuan in his body to permeate and temper the depths of his tendons and bones throughout his limbs!

A sensation of soreness, numbness, swelling, and pain, more intense than when he cultivated the first four layers, washed over him, but he gritted his teeth and persevered with all his might!

He knew that as long as he crossed this hurdle, his strength would increase once again!

To protect the people he wanted to protect, he had to succeed!

Inside the bedroom, Ye Tian's blood qi steamed around him, and the faint sounds of dragons roaring and elephants trumpeting could be heard as he began to push for the fifth layer of the Dragon Elephant Art!

Late one night, a month after Ye Tian went into seclusion to push for the fifth layer of the Dragon Elephant Art, a long-premeditated conspiracy suddenly descended upon the Ye Family!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The Lin Family! The Black Cloud Stronghold! They've joined forces and are attacking!"

"Quick! Everyone! Prepare to face the enemy!"

Inside the Ye Family compound, chaos and panic instantly broke out!

Shouts of killing, the clashing of weapons, and screams of death came from all directions, and flames soared into the sky!

Ye Qingtian, as well as the Grand Elder and the Second Elder, rushed out of their rooms immediately.

When they saw the scene outside, their hearts instantly sank to the bottom!

They saw that the Ye Family's peripheral defenses had been breached, and countless Martial Artists wearing Lin Family attire and the black clothes of the Black Cloud Stronghold were pouring in!

The two leaders had overwhelming auras; they were the Lin Family Head, Lin Batian, and the Second Chief of the Black Cloud Stronghold, Yan She!

"Lin Batian! Yan She! You really have joined forces!"

Ye Qingtian's eyes were nearly splitting from rage. The thing he feared most had happened!

The Lin Family had colluded with the Black Cloud Stronghold!

"Ye Qingtian! Today is the day the Ye Family dies!"

Lin Batian held a giant blade as wide as a door, a cruel and hideous smile on his face. "Kill! Leave none alive!"

"Kill!" Yan She gave a cold smile and waved his scimitar, and the bandits behind him lunged at the Ye Family disciples like hungry wolves!

The great battle broke out instantly!

Led by the Elders, the Ye Family disciples and guards resisted desperately.

However, the combined forces of the Lin Family and the Black Cloud Stronghold far outnumbered the Ye Family, and they had many experts!

Besides Lin Batian, the Lin Family also had several Elders at the Qi Gathering Ninth Stage.

The Black Cloud Stronghold had sent out all its elites, and their leaders were incredibly fierce!

For a time, the Ye Family's defensive line retreated step by step, with disciples constantly falling in pools of blood, their screams never-ending!

"Hold them back!"

Ye Qingtian's eyes were bloodshot, his Yuan Condensation Second Layer cultivation fully erupting as he charged toward Lin Batian and Yan She!

He knew that only by stopping these two would the Ye Family have a glimmer of hope!

"Ye Qingtian, do you think you can fight both of us alone!"

Lin Batian laughed wildly and exchanged a look with Yan She. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, attacked Ye Qingtian simultaneously!

Lin Batian's blade technique was fierce and overbearing, each strike containing the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Yan She's movement was eerie, his scimitar strikes tricky and malicious, specifically targeting vital points.

The two of them cooperated seamlessly, clearly having planned this long ago!

Although Ye Qingtian was strong, facing the siege of two experts of the same level, he immediately fell into a bitter struggle!

He roared repeatedly, his palm winds whistling as he pushed the Heaven-Shaking Palm to its limit, barely resisting their fierce attacks, but he gradually fell into a disadvantage, and the situation became perilous!

"Clan Chief!" Seeing this, the Second Elder, Ye Wenshan, was extremely anxious. He wanted to go forward to help, but he was pinned down by two Lin Family Elders of the Qi Gathering Ninth Stage!

The Grand Elder, Great Elder Ye Zhengyuan, whose injuries had not yet healed, was also fighting hard against a Qi Gathering Realm Tenth Stage Peak expert and a dozen bandits.

Wherever the sword light passed, several bandits were killed, but facing the endless stream of enemies, he was also struggling alone, with several wounds added to his body.

The entire Ye Family, They have already fallen into a desperate situation.!

Blood stained the ground, bodies piled up, and the once prosperous compound had now turned into an asura battlefield!

"Ye Qingtian! Die!"

After nearly a hundred rounds of fierce fighting, Lin Batian spotted a flaw and slashed his giant blade toward the top of Ye Qingtian's head!

At the same time, Yan She appeared silently behind Ye Qingtian, his scimitar piercing directly toward his heart!

Attacked from both front and back! There was no way to avoid it!

Ye Qingtian's pupils shrank suddenly. He gritted his teeth, condensed all his True Yuan into his palms, and boldly met Lin Batian's giant blade!

Boom!!!

A loud explosion occurred, and the airwaves blasted open!

Ye Qingtian groaned, his figure staggering back, a trail of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth. Having taken Lin Batian's full-strength blow head-on, he was already internally injured!

And in the moment he caught his breath, a cold blade edge pierced into him from behind!

The scimitar pierced through his protective True Yuan and entered his right chest!

"Puff!"

Ye Qingtian violently spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale!

He turned around with difficulty and threw a palm strike at Yan She, but it was easily dodged.

"Clan Chief!"

Ye Wenshan, Great Elder Ye Zhengyuan, and the Ye Family disciples fighting in the distance saw this scene and let out desperate roars!

"Hahaha! Ye Qingtian, you're finished!"

Seeing this, Lin Batian laughed wildly in triumph and swung his blade to attack again!

Ye Qingtian was heavily wounded, his aura rapidly withering. Facing the renewed siege from Lin Batian and Yan She, he was already in critical danger!

The pillar of the Ye Family was about to collapse!

"Is Heaven really going to destroy my Ye Family..."

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Ye Qingtian's eyes. He immediately turn around, looked at the Second Elder, and roared, "Old Second, go find Ye Tian quickly and tell him to leave this place!"
