CHAPTER 649: 626

Ye Tian continuously struck with three hand knives, executing three moves of Long River Sunset Circle. Ling Rong’s lips were bleeding, but she still looked resolute. This left him feeling helpless, guessing that she might truly die by his hands if this continued.

The only thing Ye Tian felt fortunate about was that despite using Gang Qi repeatedly, the Gang Qi inside his body was still abundant and showed no signs of decline.

Sweat dripped down Ye Tian’s face. Was he really going to kill Ling Rong?

"I know my karmic obstacle must be related to the Mainland, that’s why grandfather never came back."

"I feel like I’ve let him down because as an orphan girl, I prevented him from fulfilling his last wish."

Although he had not known Ling Rong for long, her temper was volatile, but she was also a sincere girl and very filial to Gu Zhun. Yet, now she had become a threat to his life!

However, the last time he saw a mutant, wasn’t there a way for it to control itself?

Ye Tian quickly surveyed Ling Rong, hoping to spot something different about her, but unfortunately, he found nothing except for those eyes, which couldn’t even be called eyes anymore—they were flames. Could it be these eyes causing trouble?

Ye Tian joined his index and middle finger, shooting two beams of light directly at Ling Rong’s eyes. A scream escaped her as she covered her eyes, and the flames disappeared.

"Even a blind cat can find a dead mouse!" Ye Tian wiped off his sweat, his body still tense, as nobody knew what Ling Rong would turn into now.

Ye Tian cautiously approached Ling Rong, enhancing the Gang Qi within him, preparing for an offensive or defensive stance at any moment.

Ling Rong lay on the ground in pain, yet she made no sound.

"Ling Rong, how are you?" Ye Tian asked.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a fireball larger in diameter than Ye Tian formed instantaneously and encircled him.

Many things around quickly caught fire, and the burning smell was overwhelming.

Standing amidst the sea of flames, Ye Tian felt uncomfortable, but having experienced the grueling practice in Xu Kong, he wasn’t overly flustered by the fire.

Ye Tian channeled his Gang Qi into the two fingers of his right hand, and with his left hand on his wrist, forcefully emitted two beams of light—unlike the previous Panchen Finger, these beams were blue. When they met Ling Rong’s fireball, they turned into white gas as if ice met fire.

Ye Tian clenched his teeth in pain; a third of the fireball was extinguished, and he managed to escape.

At this moment, Ye Tian knew he couldn’t remain passive any longer. A moment of mercy might send him straight onto the Netherworld Road.

Ye Tian started circulating the True Qi within his body, feeling different colored streams of Qi—green, red, gold, and white—emerging from his head, hands, and feet, converging towards his abdomen. These streams of Qi continuously stimulated the two black and white beads in his abdomen, which then spun rapidly like the Tai Chi yin-yang fish.

Gradually, the five types of Qi merged into a non-substantial sphere of energy, which Ye Tian directly pushed in front of Ling Rong.

The energy sphere enveloped Ling Rong, then exploded violently.

Ye Tian knew everything was over now; even if Ling Rong miraculously survived, she was likely on her deathbed.

This time, Ye Tian walked boldly to where Ling Rong lay; she had returned to her original form but appeared extremely weak.

"Ye Tian, thank you for saving me," Ling Rong’s lips were pale, like a flower petal on the verge of wilting.

"What?" Ye Tian was confused, squatting next to her, reaching out to embrace her, only to find her body incredibly limp, as if his own hand had broken all her bones.

"I don’t know what was injected into me, I can’t control myself, all I think about is killing, killing!"

This is really terrifying, because no matter what Ling Rong was doing just now, although she couldn’t control herself, she was aware of it.

"Who exactly is it?" Ye Tian’s voice was grim, his anger evident.

"I don’t know, he looked very ordinary..." Ling Rong was now gasping heavily, like a candle in the wind, possibly extinguishing at any moment.

Ye Tian pressed his hand against Ling Rong’s back heart, continuously transferring Gang Qi to her, but it was like pouring into the sea, causing no ripples at all. Was she really going to die like this?

For Ling Rong, Ye Tian’s feelings were very complicated. Although it was she who threatened his life and he had to strike her down, and although she said that this time he was helping her to be free, she still died by his hands.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn’t help but sneer coldly to himself, never imagining his hands would be free of blood, yet now he began to feel merciful, which was really laughable.

"Even if... I die... Ye Tian, I beg you... let grandfather tell me the truth!" Ling Rong used her last bit of strength to shout out her unwillingness, then closed her eyes forever.

Ye Tian felt his eyes grow hot, then he picked up Ling Rong, placed her back on her bed, and started to inspect the surroundings.

When he returned to the hall, Ye Tian found a man sitting leisurely in the chaotic hall.

"Ye Tian."

"Who are you?" Ye Tian looked at the man, instantly confirming it was the man Ling Rong had described.

"Who I am is not important, what’s important is that anyone who has any relationship with you in the future, I will make sure they die."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Ye Tian’s muscles tightened all over, ready to explode at any moment.

"I don’t want to do anything, I just want you to know, whatever you want to do has to go through bloodshed, whether it’s my people or your people, there will be bloodshed along this road." The man’s voice was soft and pleasant, but the content was chilling.

"I’m certain, it will be your blood!" Ye Tian clenched his fists tightly.

"Ha ha ha! Being too arrogant is not a good thing!"

"Then why don’t you just kill me with one blow?"

"Kill you? Do you think you can die that easily? I want your friends, everyone you care about, to die one by one, leaving you without a single person to talk to in this world, until I kill you too. Don’t you think this is the most cruel way to die for you?"

"You are really a madman!"

Ye Tian shouted angrily, then gathered all his True Qi and struck at the man with a palm, but sadly, the man dodged lightly as if he had already known it was coming, not even a hair moved by the swiftly moving palm wind.

"Child’s play, to show off in front of me!" The man said lightly, walking as if on clouds, yet a casual punch from him sent Ye Tian flying three meters away into the wall...

Ye Tian was hit by an indescribable terrifying force against the wall, his body wasn’t too harmed, but various cracks appeared on the nearly half-meter-thick wall.

Ye Tian nervously watched the man in front, his mind racing, unable to gauge this man’s strength, just from the punch earlier, he didn’t know if he could rely on his own strength to fight him.

The man’s smile was warm, but the light coming from his eyes was very cold, very cold.

"Who exactly are you?" Ye Tian’s breath was a bit unstable.
