At this moment, the duel between Cold Bo Stone and Wang Tianba had yet to determine a victor, but the Blade Net of Soul Shattering Nine Slashes had emerged, restraining the momentum of Disc Blade Qi. Under the relentless pressure of the Blade Net, the rotation speed of Disc Blade Qi gradually slowed down.
On another side of the battlefield, Cold Wu, with an injured arm, could only stand at the edge of the battle group to observe for his own safety. His plan was to wait for Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti and Windwalker Fan Fenglin to ambush Ye Tian; if an opportunity arose, he would strike, and if not, he would continue to wait for his arm to recover.
In contrast to Cold Wu's partial loss of combat power, Leng Bo Feng had completely lost his effectiveness and had even become a burden. He appeared pale, severely injured internally, clutching his chest as he struggled to stand about ten feet away from Ye Tian, coughing incessantly.
Ye Tian turned to look at Leng Bo Feng, his brow furrowed. He did not see Leng Bo Feng as a burden but was concerned that Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti might attack him since they were too close together. After that last strike, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti had retreated ten feet and was now less than a foot away from Leng Bo Feng.
Ye Tian could cover ten feet in the blink of an eye; however, with less than a foot separating them, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti would not need to move at all—he could easily kill Leng Bo Feng by simply activating his Martial Origin Power.
“Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti! If you know what’s good for you, leave now and we can coexist peacefully!” Ye Tian shouted. After a brief consideration, he chose to placate Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti because if he attacked, even if Ye Tian could arrive in time, the outcome would only be both Leng Bo Feng and Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti dying together. Moreover, at this distance, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti would definitely not escape Ye Tian's grasp. Therefore, calming him down was currently the most important and reasonable approach.
“Oh? What if I don’t know what’s good for me?” Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti asked with a sinister smile while glancing at Cold Wu.
Ye Tian ignored this; he knew very well what kind of person Cold Wu was. Therefore, Cold Wu was not a threat since he would not act recklessly unless he saw a favorable situation due to his own safety concerns.
“If you don’t know what’s good for you, there’s only one path left—death!” Ye Tian shouted back. Not all attempts at placation required gentle words; it varied from person to person. Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was cunning and would not be swayed by kind words; it was more effective to make him feel threatened.
“Heh heh, I’m not afraid of death. If I die, Brother Bo Feng will accompany me. We don’t seek to be born on the same day in the same month in the same year but wish to die on the same day in the same month in the same year. Isn’t that right, Brother Bo Feng?” Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti slowly walked toward Leng Bo Feng. When he got closer, he placed a hand on Leng Bo Feng's shoulder in a seemingly affectionate manner.
“Xiao Tian! Cough... don’t worry about me! Cough cough... kill him!” When Leng Bo Feng said this, it seemed he used all his strength; his violent coughing brought up blood. It was unclear whether his injuries had worsened or if he was angered by Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's actions—regardless, he was extremely agitated.
“Uncle Bo Feng, hold on! I will find a way to save you,” Ye Tian said anxiously, fearing that Leng Bo Feng might take drastic measures to avoid being a burden.
“It’s useless; my heart veins have been shattered. Even without Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's interference, I won’t last long,” Leng Bo Feng replied more steadily after coughing but still sounding weak.
“He’s lying to you; it’s just a few main veins that are injured. You can still be saved,” Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti said with a sinister smile as he “explained” to Ye Tian.
Hearing this, Ye Tian frowned. He could clearly see that Leng Bo Feng did not have any life-threatening injuries; Leng Bo Feng said this only to alleviate Ye Tian's worries—in other words, he had already prepared himself for self-destruction.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, my injuries are truly beyond saving, Xiao Tian, don't waste your time on me!" Leng Bo Feng rebutted loudly, and in his agitation, his breath became unstable again, leading to a violent cough.
"Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, we have no grievances from the past nor any enmity recently. If you let go of Uncle Bo Feng, I will no longer trouble you. We can search for the Divine Dragon Treasure together, and if you happen to obtain it, I will not try to take it from you." Ye Tian said after a moment of thought. He refrained from saying he would hand it over because that would sound insincere; Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was not someone like Wang Tianba or Wang Tiankuang who would believe such words.
Ye Tian's statement came from the heart, and Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti could naturally see that. However, he did not immediately release his grip but began to ponder in his heart.
Seeing this, Ye Tian let out a long sigh. The fact that Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was considering meant there was still room for negotiation. With room for negotiation, Leng Bo Feng would not easily entertain thoughts of taking his own life; after all, people generally prefer life over death.
"Young Master Ye, I have a question for you," spoke the Windwalker Young Master. Seeing Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti deep in thought, he wanted to voice his doubts.
"Please go ahead," Ye Tian replied with a cupped fist gesture.
"Why did you resort to trickery during the match just now?" Windwalker Young Master asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Haha, how did I trick anyone?" Ye Tian had anticipated this question but did not feel that way himself, so he was not in a hurry to explain. The more one rushes to explain, the more others think they are trying to cover up or argue deceitfully.
"You changed direction in mid-air, causing me to retreat ten paces," Windwalker Young Master stated.
"Were there any rules against changing direction?" Ye Tian questioned.
"Though there weren't any, can you really deceive yourself with that?" Windwalker Young Master believed Ye Tian was trying to take advantage of the situation.
"Why would I deceive myself? In terms of speed, I am definitely faster than you. In terms of agility, you are indeed above me. But have you ever considered where your agility comes from?" Ye Tian asked again.
"It comes from the wind..." Windwalker Young Master initially spoke naturally but faltered as he continued because he understood Ye Tian's point. Point Water Without Trace relies on the wind; where does the wind come from? It is generated by Yuqi Tayan Jue. His martial arts already had an element of opportunism; could he blame others for using their own methods against him?
"I understand now; I have indeed lost and accept it wholeheartedly. My cunning and strength are both inferior to yours," Windwalker Young Master admitted candidly after coming to terms with it, showing no signs of denial.
"Thank you for your understanding," Ye Tian said with a smile and a cupped fist gesture. There was no need for him to be modest; excessive humility towards someone who is straightforward would only make them feel it was insincere.
The Windwalker Young Master nodded and then turned to Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, saying, "Brother Two, you can let Leng Bo Feng go. We can search for the Divine Dragon Treasure ourselves. You have seen how Wang Tianba is; what difference is there between following him and following Hu Lue?"
"Shut up!" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was furious. He had already felt displeased by the words exchanged between the Windwalker Young Master and Ye Tian earlier, and now the latter was personally advising him, which made him feel isolated.
"Brother Two, if it really doesn't work out, we can also cooperate with Young Master Ye. It's better than Wang Tianba!" The Windwalker Young Master was still unwilling to give up and continued to persuade.
"You know nothing!" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti shouted angrily, completely losing his refined demeanor. A mere "pawn" dared to speak up and reason with him; how could he not be enraged?
"Are you worried that I will harm you? Don't worry, I keep my word," Ye Tian interjected with a calm smile. He understood perfectly what Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was concerned about. The reason Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti chose Wang Tianba was that the man had no schemes; although rude, he was easy to control.
"Heh, you won't harm me? That's only because the benefits aren't enough!" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti replied coldly. His reluctance to choose Ye Tian wasn't due to a lack of trust in him but rather because he believed that compared to a treasure like the Divine Dragon Treasure, the word "trust" was worth less than a pile of dog waste—no one would remember it.
"Brother Two, listen to my advice..."
"Get lost! If you truly consider me your Brother Two, then kill Cold Bo Stone right now!" Since meeting Ye Tian, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti had faced repeated setbacks and had reached a breaking point. The Windwalker Young Master's actions were the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Brother Two, don't cut off your own retreat!" The Windwalker Young Master continued to persuade.
"Heh, Brother Two? You call me Brother Two so sincerely. But as I said before, if you truly consider me your Brother Two, then kill! Kill! Kill..." Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti shouted wildly. He could no longer think rationally; all he wanted now was to kill Ye Tian. If he couldn't kill Ye Tian, he would kill Ye Tian's companions; if he couldn't kill Ye Tian's companions, then he would have to kill the Windwalker Young Master.
"Sigh... Brother Two, you've gone mad."
The Windwalker Young Master sighed helplessly, feeling disheartened. However, Ye Tian noticed that he was secretly gathering energy; his next move would likely be to rush out. Seeing this, Ye Tian remained on guard. Everyone present besides himself could become the Windwalker Young Master's target. Since the target was unclear, Ye Tian did not act rashly or try to stop him.
"I'm mad? You're the one who's mad! Have you forgotten that it was I who saved you from Hu Lue? If it weren't for me, you'd still be under that old man's control!" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti shouted hoarsely, his words becoming increasingly ungracious.
The Windwalker Young Master did not respond. First, he had just taken a breath; second, he felt quite disappointed. With his agility, escaping from Black Wind Stronghold would not be difficult at all. Therefore, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's claim of saving him was entirely unfounded. He chose to join the Wang family alongside Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti because Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was the only one in Black Wind Stronghold who did not despise him for being a broken sleeve—a brother with whom he could connect. Yet today, this brother had said such things.
As the ancient saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
Upon hearing the words of Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, the Windwalker Young Master no longer hesitated. The Martial Origin Power surged, and with the wind aiding his Point Water Without Trace technique, he was already close to Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti. In an instant, he appeared in front of Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, extending a finger to directly strike him down.
Although the advance capability of Point Water Without Trace was not as strong as the Yuqi Tayan Technique, reaching within five zhang was not difficult for Ling Kong. Moreover, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti was emotionally stirred and had no defenses against the Windwalker Young Master. Thus, the Windwalker Young Master successfully struck and hit Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's acupoint.
This strike caused Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti to faint and fall to the ground, successfully saving Leng Bo Feng.
"Thank you, Brother Fan," Ye Tian said with a cupped fist in gratitude. This time he did not refer to him as Windwalker Young Master; calling him "Brother Fan" felt more familiar.
"I hope Young Master Ye will keep his promise and not harm his life," Windwalker Young Master replied calmly while pointing at Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti.
"Of course," Ye Tian nodded.
Boom!
At that moment, a tremendous sound erupted from where Wang Tianba and Cold Bo Stone were located. Everyone turned to look and saw that the massive Blade Net had completely destroyed the Disc Blade Qi, charging toward Cold Bo Stone with unmatched momentum.
