"I told you, he is already dead!" Facing Wu Tianci's questioning, Ye Tian showed considerable impatience, his expression cold and indifferent.
"Xiao Zhuang is a Seventh-Dan Warrior Definition, and you are also a Seventh-Dan Warrior Definition. What gives you the right to kill him?" Wu Tianci continued to wear that self-deceiving look, sneering at Ye Tian, thinking to himself, "Xiao Zhuang has already mastered the Black Fiend Beam; he cannot be dead!"
"Heh heh, I also said that I won't just kill him, but I will kill you too!" Ye Tian's tone was harsh as he let out a cold laugh, his gaze piercing like an ice pick directed at Wu Tianci.
"I'll ask you one last time! Where is Xiao Zhuang?" Wu Tianci roared, his arms suddenly surging with fierce Martial Origin Power, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Although he no longer held any illusions about Wu Xiaozhuang's fate at this moment, he still unwillingly asked that question.
Ye Tian looked at the surging Martial Origin Power in Wu Tianci's arms without any fear in his eyes. He shouted lowly and swept his palm, revealing a light blue Spirit Energy in his hand. He then said solemnly, "I'll say it one last time: he is dead. If you want to find him, there is only one way!"
Wu Tianci's lips twitched as he seemed to grasp what Ye Tian meant by that so-called method.
"Go down and accompany him!"
Before the voice faded, Ye Tian activated Spirit Swallow Transformation beneath his feet, covering several meters in a single step and appearing right before Wu Tianci in an instant. At the same time, the light blue glow in his palm flickered as he struck towards Wu Tianci's chest.
"Unaware of your own mortality!" As the figure rapidly enlarged in his vision, a hint of disdain curled at the corner of Wu Tianci's mouth. He regarded Ye Tian's proactive attack as an act of self-destruction.
Martial Power against Martial Origin Power? Moreover, Ye Tian had not even reached Ninth-Dan Samurai. What else could this behavior be described as but self-destruction? It was likely that under this hard collision, Ye Tian would suffer broken bones and torn tendons at best; at worst, it could shatter his heart vein and lead to death!
Thinking this way, Wu Tianci took a slight step back with one foot. He disdainfully placed one hand behind his back while sweeping the other arm forward. As he drew back his sleeve, Martial Origin Power surged violently, transforming his palm into a fist to meet the attack.
Bang!
In the next moment, their fists collided with a loud thud. The clash of two powerful forces caused the surrounding air to seem to freeze for an instant before violently dispersing around them. Waves half a person high erupted from the Lake Surface within several meters of the Square Area, splashing outwards incessantly.
This time, the result of their hard clash ended with Ye Tian being violently pushed back. However, unlike last time when Wu Tianci stood firm, he stumbled back two steps before finally stabilizing himself.
"What?!" This outcome clearly caught him off guard. Although he had not exerted his full strength, the result of this clash, given the vast difference in their abilities, should not have ended like this for Ye Tian.
Even though a palm strike sent Ye Tian staggering back, it was merely a retreat! Wu Tianci not only failed to shatter his heart meridian but also showed no signs of broken bones or tendons.
Ye Tian steadied himself once more, yet a hint of confusion flickered across his brow as he thought, "Wu Tianci's experience is indeed profound; it seems he has deliberately concealed his true strength in both encounters."
In fact, Ye Tian had not used all his power either; this time he merely aimed to test Wu Tianci's capabilities. However, Wu Tianci was exceptionally cunning and clearly would not reveal his true strength unless absolutely necessary.
"Have you reached the ninth rank of Warrior Definition?" Wu Tianci could not suppress his curiosity and asked coldly.
"Wu Tianci, my strength is not what matters; just know that you will have no way back," Ye Tian's dark eyes glinted with a cold light as he decided to force Wu Tianci to reveal his trump card.
"Of course there’s no way back. After I kill you, I will set up a trap here waiting for Cold Boyuan to walk right into it. Hahaha!" Wu Tianci sneered. As the leader of the Cold Family Guardians, he had suddenly disappeared, which Cold Boyuan would certainly notice. Given Cold Boyuan's sharp instincts, he was likely already on his way here.
However, this was precisely what Wu Tianci hoped for. He had already conspired with Cold Wu; as long as Cold Boyuan was away from the Cold Family for more than a day, Cold Wu would immediately initiate an internal coup. The Wang family had also agreed to assist if the situation turned unfavorable.
In this way, the Cold Family would inevitably fall into Cold Wu's hands. After killing Ye Tian, Wu Tianci could simply hide within the Heavenly Shadow Mountain Range and evade Cold Boyuan's pursuit. Even if Cold Boyuan possessed extraordinary abilities, finding a single person in such vast mountains would be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.
By then, all obstacles would be removed. Cold Wu would come here to support Wu Tianci, and the situation would be settled! No matter how powerful Cold Boyuan was, he would be isolated and without any chance of turning the tide.
Thinking of this, Wu Tianci couldn't help but laugh heartily at the perfection of his meticulously crafted plan.
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
As he laughed, Wu Tianci suddenly noticed the body covered by a cloth on the ground not far away. Upon seeing it, his laughter abruptly ceased, and his heart involuntarily trembled.
He glared fiercely at Ye Tian before slowly approaching the body. His hand trembled slightly as he reached out to lift the cloth.
If that face beneath were one he did not wish to see, then in the next moment, he would definitely use all his strength to tear Ye Tian apart.
"Eh."
The curtain was lifted, revealing the old face of Zhang Cang. Upon seeing that it was not his beloved son Wu Xiaozhuang, Wu Tianci felt a slight sense of relief. However, he soon let out a light gasp and said, "It's him!"
Under the curtain lay the corpse of Leng Wanli. Ye Tian had temporarily placed it here so that Leng Wanli's spirit could witness him blow Wu Tianci's head off, eliminating this major threat to the Cold Family!
"Has that old bastard finally died?" Wu Tianci laughed maliciously. He had long anticipated Leng Wanli's death; after all, during the time this old man led the Cold Family, he had taught him many harsh lessons.
Hearing this, a trace of disdain flashed across Ye Tian's face as he coldly remarked, "Wu Tianci, you speak so disrespectfully of a deceased elder. Your heart is rather narrow, isn't it?"
"Hahaha!" Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, Wu Tianci burst into another round of wild laughter, dismissively saying, "Narrow-minded? You must be mistaken about me. To be honest, I truly feel sorry for his death."
Ye Tian regarded Wu Tianci with cold eyes and did not respond. He had already made up his mind; soon he would show the latter something that would wipe the smile off his face.
"Sigh..." Wu Tianci sighed lightly and shook his head helplessly. "But what I regret is how he died so easily. He should have suffered more! Dismembered? No, no, no—shattered into pieces? Sigh, that's not very satisfying either. What kind of death would be better..."
Wu Tianci looked at Ye Tian with a sly expression, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh? Since you can't think of one, may I offer you a little inspiration?" Ye Tian spoke in a calm tone as if discussing something mundane, showing no sign of anger or joy.
"Inspiration?" Wu Tianci was slightly taken aback. In truth, his earlier remarks were not just expressions of schadenfreude regarding Leng Wanli's death; they were also intended to provoke Ye Tian. However, the latter's reaction was unexpectedly calm.
A flicker of barely perceptible anger flashed in Ye Tian's eyes but quickly vanished. How could he not be enraged by Wu Tianci's words and actions? He was merely enduring for the greater good. Both were unaware of each other's true strength; in such circumstances, whoever lost their temper first would hand over the initiative to the other. In a match between equals, the one who loses their rationality first would greatly reduce their chances of victory.
"Are you interested in taking a look?" Ye Tian said with an unsettling smile playing on his lips.
Seeing Ye Tian's expression, Wu Tianci's eyelids twitched violently as a vague sense of foreboding rose within him.
"Heh heh, what's wrong? Don't you want to?"
"Stop pretending to be mysterious! You just want to buy time!" Wu Tianci glared and said disdainfully, "It will take at least a day for Cold Boyuan to arrive here. Are you trying to stall until he comes to support you? Hmph, you'd better give up on that idea."
"I've already said, I only need myself to kill you." Ye Tian maintained a calm demeanor, but after saying this, he suddenly changed his tone and said solemnly, "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of Wu Xiaozhuang?"
"What... do you want to say?!" Wu Tianci's ominous premonition grew stronger, and he gritted his teeth in anger as he asked.
"Follow me, I'll show you something." Ye Tian ignored him and, after speaking, his figure flickered and gracefully headed towards the opposite shore of the lake.
Staring at Ye Tian's swift figure, Wu Tianci clenched his fists tightly and only followed after a moment.
The two moved through the lake, with Ye Tian employing Yuqi Tayan Jue, his movements light and agile, while Wu Tianci stood on a bamboo raft, continuously channeling Martial Origin Power, keeping up a decent speed.
"If this kid doesn't confront me directly and relies on this Qi manipulation technique to escape, it would indeed be quite difficult to kill him!" Wu Tianci thought bitterly as he watched Ye Tian ahead.
In fact, this was one of the reasons he had been hesitant to go all out.
Firstly, although most of Wu Xiaozhuang's fate was sealed, seeing is believing; since Ye Tian hadn't revealed his son's whereabouts yet, Wu Tianci truly didn't dare to act recklessly.
Secondly, with Ye Tian possessing Yuqi Tayan Jue and waiting for help from Skyward Martial Arts, if he couldn't deliver a fatal blow in one strike, it was very likely that Ye Tian could escape. However, despite two attempts at probing, he had failed to gauge Ye Tian's true strength. This uncertainty was also a source of frustration for Wu Tianci.
"Damn it, I didn't expect this kid to be so troublesome!" He cursed inwardly as his gaze towards Ye Tian grew even more filled with hatred.
