Chapter 1179: Chapter 1175: Zheng Lun and Chen Qi

“Yes!” “Yes!”

Ye Xuong and Tian Qi immediately accepted the order. After all, the two had been training in Elder Guo’s Different Space for so long, a rush of vigor was brewing inside them, urging them to face the elders of the Black Hole Clan eagerly!

The three were about to head towards the mountain hollow where their companions were located, when suddenly, two men with bare chests blocked their way!

“Hmph hmph hmph hmph~~~~~~ Tian Qi, you finally slipped up. We really had no idea where you hid, and we couldn’t find you!”

“But now that you’ve met us brothers, your good days are finally over! Tian Qi, this time, just obediently come with us to the southern city to confess your crimes!”

The voices of the two men were filled with a strange tone, making Ye Tian, Ye Xuong, and Tian Qi shudder with unease.

Tian Qi looked at them in surprise, and from her eyes, Ye Tian could clearly see that Tian Qi recognized them!

“Qiqi, who are these two? They look like people from the Black Hole Clan!”

Ye Tian asked curiously, and Tian Qi immediately nodded, saying, “Yes, they are indeed members of the Black Hole Clan, and they hold significant status within the clan because they are part of Elder Xi Feng’s personal guard!”

“Elder Xi Feng’s personal guard?”

Ye Tian was taken aback, and an image of Elder Xi Feng crossed his mind: dressed in a white suit, relatively young, yet incredibly powerful, and one of the four great elders governing the Black Hole Clan.

Although Ye Tian and Elder Xi Feng had no interactions, since the other party was an elder of the Black Hole Clan, naturally, he was also his enemy!

“These two men, one is called Zheng Lun, and the other is called Chen Qi. They are not easy to deal with!”

Tian Qi added, with a hint of hesitation in her voice.

As someone who was previously one of the thirteen guards, Tian Qi was well aware of the strength of the four great elders’ personal guard in the Black Hole Clan…

So, even though Tian Qi had trained in Elder Guo’s Different Space for such a long time, and had stepped onto the threshold of the Innate Realm, she still wasn’t sure if she could defeat both Zheng Lun and Chen Qi.

However, Ye Tian comforted her: “Qiqi, you don’t need to worry about your strength, because now you are vastly different from the you before training. Back then, even with Ye Xuong, you couldn’t defeat Elder Nan Feng’s personal guard, but now, your power is enough to contend with the personal guard!

You must have such confidence because if you don’t, when you face the martial artists of the Black Hole Clan again, you’ll have no way to defeat your opponents!”

“I understand!”

Ye Tian’s words indeed greatly encouraged Tian Qi, and she nodded vigorously.

“Ye Tian, I’ll handle them myself!”

The renewed confidence on Tian Qi’s face made both Zheng Lun and Chen Qi scoff, expressing their disdain towards Tian Qi…

“Heh heh heh~~~~~ Is this still that young girl Tian Qi? How come after betraying the Black Hole Clan, she didn’t learn anything else, just blind confidence?”

“Tian Qi, do you really think you can defeat the two of us alone? We are Elder Xi Feng’s personal guard, and within the Black Hole Clan, we are right below one person and above everyone else. How could a mere thirteenth guard ranked seventh be our opponent?”

“Even if the three of you combined aren’t our opponents, now, Tian Qi, you’re saying you want to face us alone? You’re really talking nonsense!”

“I heard you just suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of that woman Dong Mei, and your serious injuries haven’t healed. In your current state, you still dream of fighting us both?”

…

Zheng Lun and Chen Qi spoke alternately, not taking Tian Qi seriously at all.

In their eyes, Tian Qi’s crushing defeat by Dong Mei showed her limited strength, and now, burdened with serious injuries, how could she defeat two personal guards?

“Qiqi, I’ll leave this place to you! Now, Ye Xuong and I need to hurry back to reunite with our brothers! After you’re done dealing with these two guys, please be sure to come quickly! We can’t proceed without you!”

Ye Tian instructed, and Tian Qi immediately nodded.

“Don’t worry, Ye Tian, I will hurry back to reunite with our brothers soon!”

Tian Qi had complete trust in Ye Tian, so when Ye Tian claimed he could defeat Zheng Lun and Chen Qi before him, he truly believed it. Even if it were two against one, it wouldn’t be a problem!

Ye Xuong approached Ye Tian, worriedly suggesting, “Boss, let me stay and help Qiqi. That way, our chances of winning will be greater!”

However, Ye Tian shook his head and said, “Ye Xuong, the situation is urgent now, and we cannot afford to spread our forces too thin. So, let’s leave Qiqi here alone! Besides, don’t underestimate Qiqi just because she’s a girl. In her training in the Different Space, she’s grown alongside you. Ask yourself, with your current strength, can you defeat Qiqi?”

“Well… it seems I can’t…”

Ye Xuong answered frankly, feeling no shame at his response.

After all, Tian Qi’s strength was evident. Even if Ye Xuong exerted all his might, he probably couldn’t defeat Tian Qi. In a one-on-one duel with her, the outcome would be unpredictable, with neither side having an assured victory!

Considering this, leaving Tian Qi alone to handle Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, the two members of the guardian squad, isn’t really worrisome…

“Boss, I know what to do now. Let’s leave at once!”

Since there was no need to worry about Tian Qi anymore, Ye Xuong confidently followed Ye Tian away.

Before leaving, Ye Tian specifically reminded Tian Qi, “Qiqi, remember, you are an exceptional strong individual, and these two members of the guardian squad before you are nothing significant. Stay calm and unleash your power, and you won’t fear these two opponents!”

“Ye Tian, I’ll handle it carefully!”

Tian Qi nodded firmly, assuring Ye Tian.

With this assurance, Ye Tian and Ye Xuong performed Qinggong and left the summit of Phoenix Mountain.

Zheng Lun and Chen Qi did not give chase as they watched Ye Tian and Ye Xuong leave, because their goal was not these two Martial Artists from Night King Hall. They were directly commissioned by Elder Xi Feng to capture Tian Qi and bring her back!

With the two helpers gone, leaving only Tian Qi to face them, it was undoubtedly the best scenario for them. This way, they could easily capture Tian Qi and complete Elder Xi Feng’s task!

“Tian Qi, I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant. In the Black Hole Clan, the strength of the guardian squad is second only to the elders. How could you, one of the Thirteen Guardians, think you can withstand us? Do you really believe you can handle the two of us alone?”

“But this is good, saves us from fighting your companions, and allows us to bring you back alive without effort. The Black Hole Clan’s grand plan can finally be realized!”

Zheng Lun and Chen Qi spoke with pride, while Tian Qi remained unfazed, calmly saying, “Zheng Lun, Chen Qi, in the past, you were indeed much stronger than me! But staying stuck in past glories while stagnating in strength only makes you frogs at the bottom of a well!”

“Calling us frogs at the bottom of a well? Tian Qi, you have a lot of nerve!”

“Tian Qi, flaunting your words before us means being prepared for failure! Moreover, Elder Xi Feng only orders us to bring you back alive. He didn’t specify that we couldn’t bring you back without arms or legs!”

The murderous intent in Zheng Lun and Chen Qi’s words was clear, showing their anger at Tian Qi’s contempt for them!

But now, Tian Qi, encouraged by Ye Tian, could remain calm. She smiled and said, “If you want to take me back, just try! I’ll show you that I’m no longer who I once was! Nor am I the childish person who left impulsively just because I wasn’t in a good mood!”

Saying this, Tian Qi slowly increased her power, and the dense Power of Death immediately enveloped her body.

This was the result of Tian Qi’s training in Guo Lao’s Different Space, and it was the source of her confidence. She could unabashedly display it before Zheng Lun and Chen Qi of Elder Xi Feng’s guardian squad!

“What… what is this… this power?”

“Is this really Tian Qi’s power? How can the power of a mere Thirteen Guardian reach such a level?”

Zheng Lun and Chen Qi were incredulous, as the Power of Death Tian Qi unleashed was exceptionally strong, far exceeding the standard of the Thirteen Guardians.

Now, even if Tian Qi were to confront the late leader of the Thirteen Guardians, Tian Yi, she probably wouldn’t be at a disadvantage…

Tian Qi’s body was surrounded by dense black energy, symbolic of the Power of Death within her. As the black energy seeped outside her body, it slowly retracted back into her.

Zheng Lun and Chen Qi exchanged glances. They originally thought that by joining forces, they could easily bring this traitor, Tian Qi, back. But now it appeared that Tian Qi’s strength had surpassed the level of the Thirteen Guardians, even approaching the stage of the guardian squad of the elders. So, defeating her wouldn’t be easy.

However, the two are, after all, part of the guardian squad of Elder Xi Feng. In the Black Hole Clan, besides the elders, no one’s power could rival theirs. Therefore, regarding Tian Qi suddenly unleashing her strong power, they were slightly surprised but not panicked.

As members of Elder Xi Feng’s guardian squad, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi, too, wield immense power!
