Wang Teng watched Ye Tian's retreating figure, a serious expression on his face. This kid might truly be a great talent in the future.
Ye Tian's eyes were bloodshot, and the Gan Jiang Mo Xie Divine Sword in his hand hummed and trembled, as if responding to his overwhelming fury. He leaped into action, a streak of crimson light shooting forth like a long rainbow piercing the sun, aimed directly at Man Zhan Kuang.
The air was torn apart by the fierce sword energy, producing a sharp whistling sound. Man Zhan Kuang felt a chill run down his spine; he had not expected Ye Tian to unleash such tremendous power. With a loud roar, he swung his right fist down towards Ye Tian.
Ye Tian's gaze was icy as he sidestepped with incredible speed, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. At the same time, he brought his divine sword down in a powerful strike, unleashing a flash of sword light that shot straight for Man Zhan Kuang's throat.
Sensing danger, Man Zhan Kuang quickly retracted his neck and dodged to the side. The sword light grazed his cheek, drawing a line of blood.
Completely enraged now, Man Zhan Kuang summoned lightning that coalesced above him into a massive thunderball. Within the thunderball, arcs of electricity danced wildly, energy surging within it.
With a thunderous roar that resonated like a bell, Man Zhan Kuang thrust both hands forward, sending the thunderball hurtling towards Ye Tian with immense force. As it passed, the ground was gouged out deeply, dirt and stones flying everywhere.
Ye Tian's eyes were fixed on the thunderball as he spread his feet apart and stood firm like an ancient pine rooted deep in the earth. Gripping the divine sword tightly, he felt the power within him surge wildly as he channeled all his spiritual energy into the blade.
The Gan Jiang Mo Xie glowed brilliantly, runes flickering and humming as it met the thunderball head-on. The collision produced an earth-shattering sound that shook the heavens and split the ground apart.
Ye Tian was knocked back by the immense impact, his feet carving deep grooves into the earth as he staggered. Blood spilled from his mouth, and his breath was ragged, yet he still forced himself to stand tall, eyes blazing red as he glared at Man Zhan Kuang.
"Today, if I Ye Tian do not kill you, I vow I shall not be human."
The onlookers were already dumbfounded by this fierce battle. The Barbarians had initially thought Ye Tian would fall under Man Zhan Kuang's attack in just one move; now they were pale with fear, their lips trembling as they nearly begged for mercy.
As Ye Tian rose to fight again, the Gan Jiang Mo Xie Divine Sword split into two weapons: the Gan Jiang Sword and the Mo Ye Sword. He lunged at Man Zhan Kuang with both swords drawn.
The clash of metal rang out as sword shadows danced wildly around them.
Man Zhan Kuang's gaze sharpened as he swiftly formed hand seals, conjuring a layer of Thunderlight Shield that materialized before him. The Twin Swords struck against the shield, sending countless sparks flying.
"Hmph, kid, your fierce determination is rare, but in the face of absolute power, it's nothing but futile!" Man Zhan Kuang bellowed. The Thunderlight Shield flared with light, and a tremendous force sent the Twin Swords flying.
Ye Tian stumbled but quickly regained his footing. Gritting his teeth, he summoned the last remnants of his spiritual energy. The Twin Swords spun in the air before returning to his hands. Just as he was about to charge forward again for a life-or-death confrontation with Man Zhan Kuang, Ye Xingchen suddenly flashed by, scooping up Ying Ziyi in one arm while conjuring a barrier with the other to completely separate him from Man Zhan Kuang.
Seeing this, Wang Teng hurriedly threw out a formation flag to set up a teleportation array, transporting Ye Xingchen and the others back to the military encampment.
At the military encampment, everyone gathered together, their faces grave as they discussed Ying Ziyi's injuries.
"This injury is too severe; there's almost no chance of survival," an experienced Military Doctor shook his head and sighed.
"Indeed, after suffering a peak Emperor-level attack, it's already a miracle that she’s still breathing," another general echoed, his face filled with helplessness.
Ye Tian held Ying Ziyi's hand tightly, his eyes bloodshot as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "No, there must be a way! There has to be!"
The crowd looked at Ye Tian with pity in their eyes. "Ye Tian, you need to face reality; this is beyond our capabilities," Wang Teng stepped forward and gently patted Ye Tian's shoulder.
Ye Tian abruptly shrugged off Wang Teng's hand and shouted angrily, "I don't believe it! She won't die!"
At that moment, Huang Feixiu looked at Ye Tian with a hint of reluctance in her gaze. "Ye Tian, none of us want to see this outcome, but—"
"Shut up!" Ye Tian interrupted Huang Feixiu.
"If Zi Yi dies, what meaning is there in my life?"
The scene fell into silence as Ye Tian continued to mutter to himself, "Zi Yi, you will rise again; I won't let you leave me."
[Beep. Detection: Son of Destiny is in a dire situation. Do you wish to intervene and save him?]
At a critical moment, a gentle mechanical voice echoed through the system.
【Accept the mission and immediately receive one Nine Deaths Rebirth Pill and the mastery reward of the Divine Healing Codex. Do you accept?】
Ye Xingchen nodded and replied without hesitation, "I accept."
In an instant, a golden pill appeared in Ye Xingchen's hand. Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
Ye Xingchen strode over to Ye Tian and took out the Nine Deaths Rebirth Pill. This item, known as the Nine Deaths Rebirth Pill, had the ability to revive the dead and heal the bones; it might just save Zi Yi's life.
"Is it true, Ancestor Ye? Can you really save Zi Yi?" Ye Tian stood up abruptly, tears welling in his eyes as he looked at Ye Xingchen.
Seeing Ye Xingchen nod, Ye Tian took the pill without hesitation and placed it into Zi Yi's mouth.
Moments later, a faint glow enveloped Ying Ziyi, and her breath gradually stabilized.
Ye Tian, witnessing this, was overwhelmed with emotion and quickly knelt down, bowing three times to Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen waved his hand, signaling him not to be so formal, and continued, "Now that the Demonic Path is rampant, with a great emperor sitting in power, we should unite against our common enemy."
"Today, all of you present here, regardless of where you may be in the future or whether we can win this battle, you will always be heroes in my heart."
Ye Xingchen raised his right fist and shouted loudly:
"For those who sacrifice for great ambitions, daring to change the heavens and the earth!"
The crowd seemed inspired and echoed back:
"For those who sacrifice for great ambitions, daring to change the heavens and the earth!"
"For those who sacrifice for great ambitions, daring to change the heavens and the earth!"
"Come on, let us raise our cups together and toast to this moment!"
In the military camp, a glorious scene unfolded as cups clinked together amidst cheers.
