The sky was overcast, dim and lifeless, casting a dark shadow over the Lake Surface, which appeared as black as ink. At this moment, there was no wind or waves, and two figures swiftly darted across the Lake Surface like night owls.
After a brief moment, both individuals landed on the shore, maintaining a safe distance from each other while keeping a watchful eye.
"What exactly are you going to show me?" Wu Tianci's tone was harsh, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Of course, it's something you want to see the most," Ye Tian replied with a teasing smile, then turned and headed downstream.
Wu Tianci furrowed his brows, his lips twitching for a moment. After hesitating briefly, he ultimately decided to follow.
Not far from the riverbank was a forest. With the sky shrouded in clouds, the Forest was devoid of any sounds from Birds and Beasts, creating an oppressive atmosphere in the surroundings.
Wu Tianci glanced around and thought to himself, "Could it be that he has some kind of trap set up?"
With this thought in mind, Wu Tianci gradually slowed his Footsteps significantly.
Before long, Ye Tian noticed that Wu Tianci had not kept up with him. He turned back and smiled, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Wu Tianci did not get angry at this remark; instead, he sneered coldly and said, "Scared? You think you're worthy of making me scared?"
"Then why are you dawdling? Hurry up and catch up. If you take too long, you might get swept away by the water," Ye Tian said before ignoring him and continuing on his way.
"Swept away by the water?" Wu Tianci wondered to himself, feeling that ominous premonition intensify.
"Damn it, no matter what he's up to, as long as I stay cautious, it shouldn't be a big problem. It's better to go take a look with him; otherwise, if it really is Xiao Zhuang, it would be a huge loss for a small gain." With that thought, Wu Tianci steeled his heart and quickly followed.
Given the strength Ye Tian displayed in their previous encounters, which far exceeded that of a Seven-Section Warrior, Wu Tianci became even more cautious. He had to be extremely careful around this young man who was continuously creating miracles in Spirit Martial Town.
However, even so, as a Martial Master, no matter what kind of power Ye Tian exhibited, it couldn't pose a substantial threat in his mind. After all, the gap between Martial Origin Power and elemental energy was an insurmountable chasm.
"We're here." After walking for about the time it takes to brew tea, Ye Tian finally stopped his footsteps and turned back to smile at Wu Tianci.
A heavy stench filled the air, making one feel nauseous just by inhaling it.
Wu Tianci's heart sank; he had already guessed what Ye Tian wanted to show him.
"Look, it's over there." Ye Tian stepped aside and pointed ahead.
As Ye Tian cleared his line of sight, Wu Tianci finally saw the true nature of that "thing." Not far away on the sandy ground lay a corpse quietly.
Upon seeing the body, Wu Tianci's mind buzzed; if it weren't for the strong enemy lurking nearby, he might have fainted on the spot.
Grinding his teeth hard enough to make a clicking sound, Wu Tianci forced himself to steady his nerves and leaped next to the corpse.
The stench intensified, rushing into his nose; even as the father of this corpse, Wu Tianci couldn't help but frown.
However, that was undoubtedly his son, confirmed by his clothing and physique.
Yet, the most definitive part of his identity, his head, was nowhere to be found.
A surge of insane hatred welled up in Wu Tianci's heart as his hands sank deeply into the sand, his expression horrifying, nearly cracking with rage.
The corpse before him was no longer whole; many parts of the body had been rotted away by the ebbing tide, and some creamy maggots wriggled within, greedily and excitedly gnawing at the decayed flesh.
Of course, what Wu Tianci could not tolerate the most was that on top of the round, swollen corpse, starting from the neck, there was a mass of blood and flesh, with several fragments of skull scattered around, a sight so tragic it was unbearable.
“Xiao Zhuang! Xiao Zhuang!” Wu Tianci cried out in tears, desperately trying to gather the scattered skulls on the ground, hoping to piece them back together.
However, under the tremendous power of Thunder Palm, it was already fortunate that Wu Xiaozhuang's head had not been reduced to powder; attempting to reassemble it completely was simply impossible.
Ye Tian quietly watched from the side, feeling a twinge of compassion arise in his heart.
Of course, it was not that he felt sorry for Wu Tianci's sorrowful state; rather, he could not believe that in just three days' time, Wu Xiaozhuang's body had turned into such a tragic sight.
Thus, he refrained from taking action while Wu Tianci was lost in grief because in his eyes, no matter how good the opportunity might be, such behavior was beneath him.
Wu Tianci slowly emerged from the immense pain; the dazed look in his eyes transformed into overwhelming hatred. He gazed at the headless corpse before him, flames of fury igniting within: this corpse being devoured by maggots was none other than his own son. Who was responsible for all this? It went without saying; it was that detestable Ye Tian!
“Ye Tian! Return my son's life!”
Wu Tianci let out a furious roar, his figure darting towards Ye Tian like lightning.
The strength of the Martial Master was fully displayed at this moment. Wu Tianci's body was enveloped in a surge of Martial Origin Power, akin to raging waves. His iron fist, seemingly containing boundless power, tore through the air, sparking as it did so.
"Raging Fire Shattering Fist?!"
Ye Tian's eyelids drooped slightly. This martial technique was classified as Yellow Rank Nine, but at this moment, when executed by Wu Tianci, it exuded an aura reminiscent of Earth-Level Martial Arts.
Suddenly...
A fierce wind surged before him, making it difficult for Ye Tian to keep his eyes open.
Faced with the enraged Wu Tianci, Ye Tian chose not to counterattack immediately. Instead, he pushed off the ground forcefully and retreated swiftly.
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Wu Tianci's eyes. The Raging Fire Shattering Fist followed closely behind him with a formidable force capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, like a relentless pursuit.
Hiss...
The sound of air being torn apart echoed just inches in front of him, while Ye Tian continued to float backward, remaining in a state of evasion.
"Bastard! If you have the guts, fight me! Didn't you claim you would kill me? Come on! Come on!"
Wu Tianci's punch was unmatched in momentum, yet he could only keep Ye Tian within half an inch of his reach without even touching the hem of his garment. This infuriated him further, prompting him to curse loudly.
Two figures swiftly darted across the sandy riverbank, their powerful energy stirring up fine sand and leaving a long trail behind them.
"One surge of energy leads to a decline, then exhaustion."
Due to the strong wind, Ye Tian squinted slightly, but at that moment, while still retreating, he slowly uttered these words.
Then, his eyes gradually opened, revealing his pitch-black pupils, along with a sharp glint.
"One surge of energy leads to a decline, then exhaustion..." These words clearly reached Wu Tianci's ears. With his rich combat experience, he understood immediately what Ye Tian meant without needing to think.
"Come on!"
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Wu Tianci shouted as if to rally himself.
Ye Tiantong's brow furrowed as he watched the previously waning momentum of Wu Tianci suddenly surge again, and he couldn't help but nod slightly in approval.
"Martial Mastery is indeed extraordinary; no wonder they are called strong."
He thought this to himself, but it was just a passing thought. For Ye Tian, Wu Tianci's actions were exactly what he wanted.
Because the previous statement was deliberately made for Wu Tianci to hear.
He anticipated that after hearing those words, Wu Tianci would intensify his assault in an attempt to resolve the situation quickly. However, Wu Tianci overlooked one crucial point: he couldn't touch Ye Tian at all. No matter how hard he tried, it would all be in vain.
Moreover, he did not consider that the initial surge of energy would eventually dwindle. This refers to attacking a city in battle; right now, Ye Tian held a deep grudge against Wu Tianci, and under such hatred, how could there be any talk of exhaustion? Unless one scenario existed—that is, a fight to the death.
"You wildling, do you think that relying on a Skyward Martial Arts will save your worthless life?" Wu Tianci suddenly halted his advance, as if realizing something.
With a slight frown, Ye Tian steadied himself and looked at Wu Tianci with an added sense of caution.
Ye Tian originally intended to exhaust Wu Tianci's strength in this situation because the Raging Fire Shattering Fist he was using was a powerful yet extremely energy-consuming martial art. However, Wu Tianci seemed to be using it with even greater force, indicating that his energy was being consumed rapidly like flowing water. Yet, Ye Tian did not expect that Wu Tianci could maintain such clarity even after the tragic death of his son; this level of composure was clearly beyond what Xu Tai and others could compare to.
"You wildling, are you trying to exhaust my strength?" Wu Tianci spoke coldly, disdain evident in his tone.
"To be honest, your ability to remain clear-headed in your rage is quite impressive," Ye Tian was not the type to deny being seen through. He nodded and said earnestly.
Wu Tianci scoffed at Ye Tian's praise and retorted, "You bastard, stop talking nonsense. I'm here to take your life today, not to chat with you!"
From calling him a wildling to a bastard, although Wu Tianci managed to stay calm, the shift in those two terms revealed just how deep his hatred for Ye Tian ran.
"My life is right here; if you truly have the ability, you would have taken it just now," Ye Tian shot back sarcastically. However, facing Wu Tianci's insults, he remained unperturbed inside.
In truth, he was just as angry; he wanted to kill Wu Tianci just like he had crushed those from the Xu Family. But Wu Tianci was not only a Martial Master but also a master of psychological warfare. If Ye Tian could not maintain his composure and allowed himself to be provoked, the consequences of acting impulsively could very well be catastrophic.
Moreover, it would not only destroy himself but also the Cold Family!
