CHAPTER 1296: CHAPTER 1292: SOUL SPLIT

"What? They can fly!?"

Ye Tian was startled once again; he hadn’t expected that these wolves, made entirely of ice, could gracefully dance through the air!

In a moment of urgency, Ye Tian could only fiercely swing the wooden sword in his hand, employing the "Overspeed Blade" technique he was most adept with!

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The dense shadows of blades protected Ye Tian’s body at its core, preventing the fierce ice wolves from reaching him.

However, Ye Tian seemed to have underestimated the situation, for as soon as the sword shadows struck an ice wolf, an explosion erupted immediately!

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The explosion was immensely powerful; even though Ye Tian was relatively far, he was still affected by its impact. More importantly, being in mid-air, Ye Tian’s movement was slow, making it impossible to dodge.

Thus, Ye Tian could only curl his body to protect his vulnerable parts, yet even so, he couldn’t completely withstand the explosive force. His body was heavily hit, crashing down onto the ground.

"Crash!"

Ye Tian’s body slammed into the ground, creating a large crater with a tremendous noise.

"Ye Tian!"

Tian Qi rushed to Ye Tian upon seeing this. She pulled Ye Tian out from a pile of ice shards; at this moment, Ye Tian was entirely covered in ice, resembling an ice ball.

Fortunately, Ye Tian was still barely alive. He extended his arms, shattering the ice covering his body, and stood up.

The ice shards shook off Ye Tian’s body, but while the ice on the surface could be cleared, the cold chill within was not so easy to dispel.

Just now, the fierce explosion from his wooden sword hitting the ice wolf was not an ordinary fiery explosion but an "Ice Burst." An unprecedented powerful chill accompanied the explosion; Ye Tian was affected not just by the force but also injured by the cold.

"Ye Tian, are you okay?"

Tian Qi asked anxiously. Ye Tian forced a smile and replied, "Qiqi, I’m fine..."

Despite his words, Ye Tian was anything but relaxed. Just as he spoke, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, indicating he had suffered severe internal injuries.

This was not surprising; Ye Tian had already reached his limit. If the wooden sword hadn’t injected Life Weapon power into Ye Tian at a critical moment, he might have already died at Elder Xi Feng’s hands. But unexpectedly, Elder Xi Feng had one last deadly move.

The ice wolves’ attack, coupled with the massive explosion, added further injury to Ye Tian, leaving his body shattered and in a devastating state...

"Ye Tian!"

Seeing Ye Tian continuously cough up blood, Tian Qi immediately extended her hand, wanting to heal Ye Tian. But Ye Tian waved his hand and said, "Don’t waste energy on me, Qiqi. The enemy is still in the air!"

Saying this, Ye Tian raised his head to see countless ice wolves proudly standing in mid-air, gazing coldly at Ye Tian and Tian Qi...

Among them, one ice wolf gradually transformed into Elder Xi Feng’s appearance!

"This... this is..."

Tian Qi exclaimed in surprise; how did the ice wolf turn into Elder Xi Feng?

"..."

Ye Tian remained silent; the recent attack made him realize these ice wolves were not just simple moves executed by Elder Xi Feng.

Being injured by the explosion from these ice wolves felt like being attacked by Elder Xi Feng himself. This familiar sensation couldn’t just be released power; it had to be the source of the power!

"That’s right! These ice wolves are all part of me!"

Perhaps noticing Ye Tian’s gaze, Elder Xi Feng’s illusion finally spoke, sounding exactly like Elder Xi Feng. Clearly, this was Elder Xi Feng’s true form!

"Ye Tian, if it weren’t for you, I would never resort to this combat style, splitting my soul and turning into countless ice wolves! The ice wolves are me, and I am the ice wolves. Ye Tian, how will you fend off such an attack?"

"Mon... monster..."

Looking at Elder Xi Feng in front of her, Tian Qi could do nothing but grit her teeth.

It turns out Elder Xi Feng and Elder Nan Feng are similar; their bodies are not that of ordinary humans!

How could an ordinary Martial Artist possibly cause their own body to split? Moreover, what Elder Xi Feng has done is not only splitting his body, but the split bodies can actually be used to kill enemies!

Tian Qi, as one of the thirteen guards of the Black Hole Clan, didn’t know the elders had such abilities. With both Elder Nan Feng and Elder Xi Feng being this powerful, how strong must Elder Dong Feng, the leader of the four elders, be?

At this moment, Tian Qi felt a wave of despair, it seems that defeating the Black Hole Clan’s elders and liberating the entire clan is not an easy task...

"Soul splitting? No wonder the explosion just now had such tremendous power!" Ye Tian sighed.

With a cold laugh, Elder Xi Feng said, "How could an ordinary explosion injure a strong figure like you? However, the explosion generated by the ice wolves of my soul split is far beyond the ordinary; Ye Tian, regardless of how strong your power is, no matter how steel-like your body is, you can’t withstand such an attack!"

After speaking, Elder Xi Feng’s phantasm once again transformed into the form of an ice wolf.

"..."

Ye Tian smiled bitterly at the pack of wolves in front of him. This time, he indeed couldn’t find a suitable way to counter these ice wolves. These ice wolves were all incarnations of Elder Xi Feng, and dealing with one Elder Xi Feng was already troubling, let alone so many Xi Fengs?

Meanwhile, Ye Tian’s companions who were healing their injuries were dumbfounded at the situation unfolding before them!

They watched as the ice wolf transformed into Elder Xi Feng, then Elder Xi Feng transformed back again. Everyone was astonished by the strength displayed by the elders of the Black Hole Clan!

The Martial Artists of Night King Hall and Tian Gate couldn’t help but ask the Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad...

"Could it be that the elders of the Black Hole Clan are monsters, with body structures completely unreasonable? Are you really being led by such monsters?"

Faced with such a sharp question, the Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad didn’t know how to respond...

"In fact, it’s the first time we’ve seen Elder Xi Feng employ such an attack method. If not for Ye Tian, I fear we would have gone to our deaths without witnessing his final move!"

"Yes, although we, the Annihilation Squad, are considered the core force of the Black Hole Clan, we are completely in the dark about the power operations and attack modes of the four elders; even Elder Dong Feng seldom displays any of his power before us."

"Elder Xi Feng indeed is such a monster, it’s truly mind-boggling. No wonder the four elders can forcibly impose their will upon the clan members, because each one of them is a monster!"

...

The Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad spoke with bitter faces.

Whether it’s the Martial Artists of Night King Hall, Tian Gate, or the Annihilation Squad, having witnessed the astonishing power displayed by Elder Xi Feng, all fell into deep despair.

Though only two elders remain from the Black Hole Clan, their power is sufficient to destroy heaven and earth. To defeat the elders of the Black Hole Clan and to save South City and the entire Black Hole Clan, it seems everyone has a long road ahead!

While despair began creeping into the hearts of the companions, one person spoke with determination: "I cannot stand idly by! No matter how formidable the enemy, if we don’t measure up against them, how can we possibly be content?"

Everyone turned their gaze to the person speaking with determination, who was none other than Daichong, the Sect Leader of Tian Gate.

Although Daichong had yet to fully recover from serious injuries, and with much of his power depleted, upon seeing the rampant monster Elder Xi Feng which filled all companions with despair, he boldly stepped forward!

So, Daichong lightly leaped over to Ye Tian’s side...

"Daichong, you’ve come?"

Upon seeing Daichong, Ye Tian felt a sense of relief, worthy of the title Sect Leader of Tian Gate, though not top-tier in power, his temperament truly deserves the recognition of a sect leader.

Daichong resolutely looked at the swarm of ice wolves in mid-air and said firmly, "Yes, I’ve come. Ye Tian, facing such opponents, no matter how inadequate my strength is, I will not let them run rampant! Rest assured, Tian Qi and I will cover you!"

Tian Qi also nodded, saying, "Yes, Ye Tian, your combat style is all close-range fighting, even using the Life Weapon, the attack range is limited! This makes it easy for you to be affected by the explosion of these ice wolves.

But Daichong and I attack differently. We excel in using mid to long-range attack methods. Using our attack methods to target these ice wolves, even if they suddenly explode, won’t hurt us!"

Just as Tian Qi said, Ye Tian, despite his formidable strength, has a somewhat singular attack style. Aside from close combat, he can only use the wooden blade in his hand.

However, both attack methods are too close range, which is fine for tangible targets, but when confronting Elder Xi Feng’s soul split bodies, namely these ice wolves, it’s bound to be disadvantageous.

Because once his attack touches an ice wolf, the entire body of the ice wolf will explode in a big blast, which for Ye Tian who isn’t far away, is undoubtedly a devastating blow.

In contrast, Tian Qi and Daichong excel in using long-range attack means to tackle enemies. They naturally hold some advantages in their moves, making it perfectly suited to provide cover for Ye Tian...

"Alright! Let’s tackle this together!"

Ye Tian nodded, faced with the goodwill of Tian Qi and Daichong, he wouldn’t decline.

However, from the flock of ice wolves in the air, Elder Xi Feng’s cold laughter erupted once again...
