CHAPTER 1301: CHAPTER 1297: DETERMINATION!

"No! Ye Tian! You can’t go! If anything happens to you, how can we face the upcoming battle?"

"That’s right! Ye Tian, you are the core of the team, so no matter what, you must protect your life. If anything happens to you, in the future, if we encounter other opponents, I’m afraid we stand no chance!"

Although attacking Elder Xi Feng’s true form seems only Ye Tian can achieve it, this doesn’t mean Tian Qi and Daichong would just watch Ye Tian die from the ice wolves’ explosion.

As the two of them said, Ye Tian is the soul of the entire team. In this team, anyone could be missing but not Ye Tian. If Ye Tian were to die from a battle with Elder Xi Feng, then the whole team would fall apart. At that time, they would be unable to face any challenges!

So, even though sometimes only Ye Tian can defeat enemies, Tian Qi and Daichong cannot bear to let Ye Tian advance alone. They all hope they can help Ye Tian by alleviating his burdens...

"Thank you for your kindness, but this time, indeed, only I can do this!"

Ye Tian said quietly, then extended a finger, lightly touching Tian Qi and Daichong.

Even though he was seriously injured, Ye Tian’s acupoint-targeting skills were quite excellent. Moreover, Tian Qi and Daichong didn’t realize Ye Tian would suddenly make a move, so they were completely unprepared.

The acupoints Ye Tian hit were precisely the ones that induce sleep on Tian Qi and Daichong, causing them to immediately fall into a swoon. Then, Ye Tian gave them a gentle push from behind, and the two descended straight to the ground.

The spot where Tian Qi and Daichong landed was exactly the place where the martial artists from Night King Hall, Tianmen, and the Annihilation Squad were healing, so under everyone’s protection, Tian Qi and Daichong fell from the air unscathed.

"..."

Ye Tian silently watched Tian Qi and Daichong because of the distance; he didn’t say much more, for next, he would face a trial, and this trial was precisely the soul split of Elder Xi Feng, which was a pack of ice wolves that could erupt into violent explosions.

"Did you give up? In order to protect your comrades, you knocked them out?"

Though Elder Xi Feng’s whereabouts were unknown, he seemed to have seen Ye Tian knock out Tian Qi and Daichong and deliver them among their companions, so he coldly jeered.

The sound of Elder Xi Feng came from all directions, resounding like surround sound...

Since Elder Xi Feng’s soul had split, even his voice could come from all around, he naturally heard the dialogue between Ye Tian, Tian Qi, and Daichong.

"Ye Tian, you are truly impressive, to think you could detect my only weak point! However, it is a pity, to attack my weak point means you must endure the ensuing fierce explosion. Anyone attempting to attack my true form will ultimately perish in the blast and be torn to pieces!

Ye Tian, even you have no way of escaping! So, my weak point exists yet it’s as good as nonexistent! Of course, this doesn’t mean you can defeat me by merely running away. As soon as your speed slows down, you will be caught by my ice wolves, and by then, you will meet the same dismembered fate!

Of course, Ye Tian, don’t think that just because those two escaped the battle zone, everything will be fine. In fact, after I kill you, your companions will all be killed by me, and the citizens of the southern city will ultimately become my food! Saving the southern city, saving the Black Hole Clan, is nothing but your delusion!"

As Elder Xi Feng spoke, a pack of ice wolves had already surrounded Ye Tian. From front, back, left, right, above, below, the ice wolves had enclosed Ye Tian so tightly that there was no chance for him to escape.

"Ye Tian, weren’t you trying to attack my weak point? Then, come and try attacking it now! Let me see whether you get blasted into fragments first or I get injured by you!"

Elder Xi Feng said arrogantly, while all the ice wolves watched Ye Tian with ferocious eyes...

The current Ye Tian, though in mid-air, reduced the burden on his legs slightly, yet due to constantly using flying techniques, his body’s energy and blood circulation, the wounds on his legs naturally worsened. Blood kept flowing from the reopened wounds on Ye Tian’s feet.

At the same time, Tian Qi and Daichong, who had been knocked unconscious by Ye Tian, immediately woke up from their slumber, surrounded and protected by their companions...

Tian Qi looked at the scene in mid-air awakening, where the ice wolves had already formed a sphere. At this point, Ye Tian’s figure was no longer visible.

So Tian Qi became quite worried and immediately shouted!

"Ye Tian! I too want to join the battle!"

As she spoke, Tian Qi intended to use the art of flying, directly soaring into the air to assist Ye Tian...

But Daichong pulled her back bitterly and said, "Qiqi, don’t go. The reason Ye Tian knocked us out is that he doesn’t want us to become his burdens. If you truly feel reluctant, then focus on refining your combat capabilities!"

"But..."

Tian Qi wanted to argue, but seeing Daichong’s face full of tears, she suddenly held her tongue.

A man does not easily shed tears, and as the Sect Leader of Tianmen, Daichong naturally bleeds but does not cry. Yet now, he is in tears because he feels utterly useless!

"Does it feel frustrating? I am frustrated too! I initially wanted to fight alongside Ye Tian, but in the end, I didn’t even have the chance to stand by his side! I’m just too weak! Too weak! Otherwise, why would Ye Tian have to bear and face everything alone? Otherwise, how could Ye Tian, the soul of this team, end up battered and bruised?"

Daichong’s words left Tian Qi in silence...

The other companions from the Night King Hall, Tianmen, and the Annihilation Squad also fell silent.

Everyone’s hearts were filled with frustration. In the battle for South City, everyone gave their all, yet they still couldn’t defeat the enemy before them!

It wasn’t because the enemy was overwhelmingly powerful, but because they were simply too weak...

In this world, not everything can be accomplished by sheer will; most of the time, strength speaks louder.

The Four Elders possess unprecedented strength, which allows them to rule over the entire Black Hole Clan and impose their will upon its members, who dare not rebel...

To save the Black Hole Clan and the citizens of South City who are about to be persecuted by them, there is no choice but to possess power greater than the Four Elders!

Daichong’s words resonated with everyone, and his companions immediately responded resolutely!

"I will definitely train hard and become stronger so that I won’t hold our leader back in the next battle!"

"Me too! No matter what, I have to become stronger, stronger than all the evil forces in this world, because without great power, I can’t protect those around me."

"Next time, I will not just be a bystander!"

...

With that said, the gap in strength between them and Ye Tian, Elder Xi Feng was just too vast, so when the Martial Artists saw the dense mass of ice wolves above, all they could do was silently bless Ye Tian, unable to offer much help.

"..."

"..."

Tian Qi and Daichong were the same. Though they had fought alongside Ye Tian earlier and had some impact, ultimately it was like trying to stop a chariot with an arm, as no matter how exhausted they were in battle, they still couldn’t attack Elder Xi Feng’s true form. Thus, whether they participated in the fight or not made no difference to its outcome.

In the end, everyone could only watch as Ye Tian went to confront Elder Xi Feng, passing the key to victory into Ye Tian’s hands...

Ye Tian, surrounded by the swarming ice wolves, naturally couldn’t hear his companions’ words or see their situation. In front of him, aside from the ice wolves transformed from Elder Xi Feng’s soul, there was nothing else.

So Ye Tian could only calm himself with the Silent Qi of the Nether God. He tightly gripped the wooden sword in his hand, infusing all his remaining strength into it.

The outcome rests on this strike!

Although Ye Tian, through observation and analysis, discovered the weakness of Elder Xi Feng, this did not guarantee he could defeat him, as theory and practice often differ greatly!

"Ye Tian, now I want to see how you will break my wolf pack attack!"

Elder Xi Feng’s arrogant voice echoed once more in Ye Tian’s ears, and Ye Tian realized the opponent’s presence was too fierce to be described in words.

Hence, Ye Tian immediately swung the wooden sword in his hand, causing countless true energy blades to burst forth from the sword, rushing straight towards the pack of wolves!

"Swishswishswishswishswish~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The crisp sound of these ice wolves being shattered by the true energy blades resounded.

Due to the distance, when these ice wolves were shattered by Ye Tian, no great explosions occurred, meaning Elder Xi Feng’s true form was not available to control the wolf pack...

Meanwhile, Elder Xi Feng’s voice rang out once more!

"Hahahahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ye Tian, didn’t you want to attack my true form? From the looks of it, your attack method is the same as before; if you continue this way, you’ll never defeat me!"
