81: Chapter 81 Ye Tian's Fierce Battle Against Tu Qianshan

At the center of the battlefield, all the fighting had ceased. Whether it was the disciples of the Ye and Chen families, or the members of the Lin Family and the bandits of the Black Cloud Stronghold, everyone's gaze was locked on the two figures confronting each other in the clearing.

On one side was the notoriously fierce Chief of the Black Cloud Stronghold, 'Blood Hand' Tu Qianshan, who had broken through to the Ningyuan Realm Third Stage.

On the other side was the exceptionally talented youth of the Ye Family, Ye Tian, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

This stark contrast filled the entire scene with an absurd and unbelievable tension.

"Ningyuan Realm First Stage Peak? This... how is this possible?!"

Lin Batian stared fixedly at Ye Tian, feeling that powerful Aura that far surpassed his own; the muscles on his face were twitching.

A month ago, this brat was still regarded as an ant by him at the City Lord's Mansion, yet today he had already stepped into the Ningyuan Realm?

To him, this speed of cultivation was simply absurd to the extreme!

A surge of jealousy and a chill rose from the depths of his heart, nearly driving him mad.

Yan She's pupils constricted even further, and cold sweat seeped from the palm of the hand gripping his scimitar.

He understood Ye Tian's terrifying nature better than Lin Batian. Back when the boy was only in the Qi Gathering Realm, he could already contend with him. Now that he had broken through to the Ningyuan Realm, to what extent would his strength skyrocket?

He didn't dare imagine it.

Looking at Tu Qianshan's slightly narrowed eyes, Yan She knew that even the Chief found this situation troublesome.

In contrast to the shock and horror of the Lin Family and the Black Cloud Stronghold, the Ye Family's side was filled with the wild joy of finding life in a desperate situation!

"Ningyuan Realm! Heaven blesses my Ye Family! Heaven blesses my Ye Family!"

Grand Elder Great Elder Ye Zhengyuan caught Ye Qingtian, who had been tossed to him by Ye Tian. Old tears streamed down his face, and his voice was choked with emotion.

He looked at the tall, upright figure in green in the center of the field, and infinite hope for the rise of the Ye Family rose in his heart.

Second Elder Ye Wenshan was trembling with excitement, his fists clenched tightly: "Good lad! Good lad! I knew... I knew you weren't a common fish in a pond!"

He had originally thought the Ye Family was doomed today, never expecting Ye Tian to descend like a divine soldier, bringing hope for a reversal.

The remaining Ye Family disciples were even more impassioned, the flames of hope reigniting in their previously despairing eyes.

"Young Master Ye Tian! It's Young Master Ye Tian!"

"Young Master Ye Tian has broken through to the Ningyuan Realm! We're saved!"

"Kill Tu Qianshan! Avenge our fallen clansmen!"

Shouts rose one after another, and morale instantly surged to its peak.

At this moment, Ye Tian was their spiritual pillar.

Chen Xuan stood not far away, his longsword lowered, his face filled with complexity.

He had originally come to provide rescue, but he hadn't expected the Ye Family to be hiding such a world-shaking Genius.

He looked at Ye Tian's Aura, as steady as a mountain, and sighed inwardly: "This child... his future is limitless! This small Luo City likely cannot hold him."

At the same time, he was secretly glad that the Chen Family's timely assistance today had established a favorable relationship.

Chen Xue and Ye Ruyi stood together, both pairs of beautiful eyes fixed intently on Ye Tian, filled with worry.

Chen Xue bit her lower lip, her hand gripping her longsword tightly as she prayed silently: "Ye Tian... you must be careful!"

Ye Ruyi's face was still somewhat pale. Looking at the youth who had expelled the poison and healed her, and who was now stepping forward to save the Family, an indescribable emotion hid in her heart, but it was mostly worry.

The opponent was Tu Qianshan of the Ningyuan Realm Third Stage!

Tu Qianshan slowly moved the wrist he had just used to trade punches with Ye Tian, and for the first time, a look of solemnity appeared on his cold face.

He stared at Ye Tian and said coldly, "Brat, you are quite good."

"To have such cultivation at such a young age."

"Unfortunately, you shouldn't have made an enemy of me."

Ye Tian's expression was calm as he replied flatly, "I don't wish to repeat what I've already said."

"Arrogant!" Killing intent surged in Tu Qianshan's eyes, and he wasted no more words.

He knew he had to resolve this variable as quickly as possible, otherwise today's affairs might take an unexpected turn.

His body moved; no longer with the slow pressure from before, he transformed into a black shadow, his speed incredibly fast!

His Ningyuan Realm Third Stage cultivation erupted fully, and blood-colored baleful Qi surged around him!

"Blood Fiend Palm!"

Tu Qianshan gave a low roar and struck out with his right palm. Blood-colored True Yuan condensed in his palm, carrying a hint of gore. As the palm-wind passed, it emitted a pungent odor.

The power of this palm far exceeded what he had used against Ye Qingtian earlier. He was clearly truly enraged and intended to kill Ye Tian on the spot!

Facing this incomparably fierce palm strike, a sharp light flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, yet he neither dodged nor avoided it!

He stepped forward half a pace with his left foot, the ground vibrating slightly. He pulled his right fist back to his waist, his muscles tensing instantly as a pale golden luster flowed over them.

"Dragon-Elephant Power, activate!"

He shouted inwardly, and the power of the fifth level of the Dragon Elephant Art within him surged forth!

Without using a shred of True Qi, relying purely on the strength of his Physical Body, he threw a punch!

The punch was silent!

But where the fist-wind passed, the air seemed to compress, forming a transparent ripple!

Fist and palm collided once more!

Boom!

This explosion was far more terrifying than the previous one!

A violent airwave expanded outward in a ring, scraping a thick layer off the ground. Some nearby Martial Artists were directly sent flying, vomiting blood from the shock!

Stomp, stomp, stomp!

Tu Qianshan's face changed as his body retreated three steps uncontrollably!

Each step left a deep footprint in the ground!

He felt as if his palm had struck a great mountain. The counter-force made his blood and Qi churn, and his metacarpals throbbed with pain!

Meanwhile, Ye Tian's upper body only swayed slightly before he stood firm!

The ground beneath his feet cracked, yet he hadn't moved an inch!

"What?!"

"The Chief was forced back?!"

"Is... is Ye Tian's Physical Body made of iron?!"

Lin Batian, Yan She, and the others were aghast, unable to believe their eyes!

In a collision of pure strength, Tu Qianshan of the Ningyuan Realm Third Stage actually came out on the losing end?!

Tu Qianshan steadied himself and looked at Ye Tian's fist, which glowed with a pale golden luster. His eyes were filled with unbelievable horror: "You brat, what Cultivation Technique did you practice? How can your Physical Body be strong to this extent?!"

He practiced the Blood Fiend Art, and his Physical Body had also undergone countless refinements. He considered himself far superior to those of the same rank, yet in front of Ye Tian, he was like rubble compared to refined steel!

Ye Tian shook his fist, feeling the slight numbness on the surface. He now had a clearer understanding of Tu Qianshan's strength.

The Ningyuan Realm Third Stage was indeed extraordinary. If not for the physical transformation brought by the fifth level of the Dragon Elephant Art, he definitely wouldn't have been able to take that palm strike just now.

"Your power is nothing more than this."

Ye Tian's tone was flat, yet it carried a powerful confidence.

He initiated the attack!

His body moved, leaving behind afterimages!

Although he didn't know any profound movement techniques, the speed generated by his pure Physical Body was not much slower than Tu Qianshan's!

He instantly closed in on Tu Qianshan and threw both fists!

There were no fancy Moves, only the most direct and violent attacks!

Every punch contained the immense power of a Dragon-Elephant, tearing through the air and producing muffled whistles!

Tu Qianshan was both shocked and enraged; he had never encountered such an opponent!

The boy completely disregarded common sense, abandoning all technique and True Yuan variations to engage in close-quarters combat using pure physical brute force!

He was forced to spread his Blood Fiend True Yuan across his entire body to form a Protective Aura, while his palms flew in a display of exquisite techniques—striking or blocking to neutralize Ye Tian's offensive.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of fists and palms clashing echoed across the battlefield!

The two figures blurred as they crossed paths, moving so fast it was dizzying.

Ye Tian's offensive grew more ferocious with each wave!

Although Tu Qianshan appeared stable, his blood and Qi were being shaken by the repeated collisions, and his Protective Aura was fluctuating violently!

"Damn it! Is this brat's strength bottomless?!" Tu Qianshan grew more alarmed as the fight progressed.

Ye Tian's attacks were not only terrifyingly powerful but also full of tenacity, as if he would never run out of strength.

Although his own Blood Fiend True Yuan was abundant, the consumption was enormous. If he only defended, he would eventually lose!

"I can't let this continue!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Tu Qianshan's eyes. He suddenly feinted a Move to open up some distance. The True Yuan within him surged frantically, and the blood-colored baleful Qi around him condensed into a tangible blood-mist!

"Blood Fiend Asura Slash!"

He pressed his palms together and raised them over his head. A massive scimitar, formed entirely of condensed Blood-colored True Yuan, appeared out of thin air, its blade entwined with countless spectral shadows!

This strike contained the full power of his Ningyuan Realm Third Stage cultivation; its power was enough to split mountains and part rivers!

"Ye Tian, watch out!"

Chen Xue and Ye Ruyi cried out simultaneously, their faces turning deathly pale.

They could both feel the destructive power contained within that blade!

The hearts of everyone in the Ye Family also leaped into their throats.

Looking at the blood-colored scimitar emitting a heaven-shaking, ominous Aura, Ye Tian's eyes remained calm, but a raging Battle Intent ignited in their depths!

He felt a hint of a fatal threat, yet he did not choose to dodge, nor did he use any Martial Skills.

Instead, he pushed the Dragon Elephant Art to its limit. The pale golden luster instantly intensified, forming a thin golden light-membrane over his body!

At the same time, the True Yuan within him galloped, yet he held it back, using it all to strengthen his physical defense!

He was actually going to... take this blade strike head-on!

"You're looking for death!" Tu Qianshan gave a cruel laugh and swung his hands down violently!

The blood-colored scimitar tore through the sky, carrying an Aura that could destroy everything, and slashed down toward the crown of Ye Tian's head!
