CHAPTER 1303: CHAPTER 1299: THE TRAP!

"Kid, don’t rush. Feel the flow of power within that guy! If there’s no power flow, even if he wants to make the ice wolves explode, it’s impossible!"

Seeing Ye Tian being driven to desperation, the heart of the millennium ancient tree immediately reminded him.

Ye Tian suddenly became enlightened; the saying goes, "those closely involved cannot see as clearly as those outside." In his battle with Elder Xi Feng, he was too focused on how to defeat his opponent and overlooked the most basic principles of martial arts.

When a Martial Artist attacks an enemy, even if they strike with fists and feet, it doesn’t necessarily harm the enemy. To defeat the enemy, one must rely on power!

In other words, an attack without power is just fancy footwork; no matter how beautiful, it cannot harm the enemy!

This principle applies to Martial Artists attacking with fists and feet, and to those attacking with unique techniques...

Elder Xi Feng’s soul division, though quite a high-level technique, fundamentally is no different than those basic martial arts techniques. In other words, if during his attack Ye Tian doesn’t sense any power, then these ice wolves couldn’t possibly explode!

"Thank you, Shu Xin, truly the old ginger is the spiciest!"

Ye Tian gratefully said. Shu Xin, having lived for millennia, naturally has more experience than Ye Tian and can provide great help at critical moments with his rich experience.

With Shu Xin’s reminder, Ye Tian was no longer confused by the scene of the attacking wolf pack. Instead, he simply closed his eyes and quietly sensed the power flow within the ice wolves.

If there was no power attached inside the ice wolf, it meant the wolf before him wouldn’t explode violently upon nearing him; the attack could be ignored...

"Swoosh~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Ye Tian didn’t even perform an attack action, only using his own power to protect his body. When the ice wolf collided with Ye Tian’s body, it couldn’t harm him and was instead shattered by Ye Tian’s internal power.

However, even so close, these ice wolves did not explode violently...

"Elder Xi Feng, why not kill me with such a good opportunity? Are you afraid that in the instant you kill me, you’ll be counter-killed by me?"

Ye Tian said lightly. His words, though light, stabbed at Elder Xi Feng like a needle!

"..."

Elder Xi Feng didn’t immediately answer Ye Tian. However, from the faintly fluctuating air around, it was clear this elder of the Black Hole Clan had lost his composure.

The ice wolves ceased their attack on Ye Tian, and both sides were in a stalemate!

For Ye Tian and Elder Xi Feng, this was like a gamble. Both had a trump card. But due to insufficient confidence in their hands, neither dared to reveal it first since such behavior was undoubtedly accompanied by the risk of failure.

If Elder Xi Feng wanted to kill Ye Tian, he had to trigger a massive explosion of ice wolves, but that would expose his true body and might result in his death at Ye Tian’s hands...

So, Elder Xi Feng dared not rashly attack now, aiming to minimize his chance of failure!

In the distance, Martial Artists from the Night King Hall, Heaven’s Gate, and Annihilation Squad, while healing and observing, all gazed bewilderedly at the suspended Ye Tian and the pack of ice wolves in mid-air. Everyone’s face, besides anxiety, showed expressions of confusion.

"What’s going on? Why aren’t the boss and those ice wolves moving? Could it be Elder Xi Feng can’t control his power anymore? Or are both of them exhausted?"

"It doesn’t seem that way; it appears they’re both pondering how to deal with each other! This battle seems unlikely to end unless one side dies!"

"Yes! Though the movements of Ye Tian and the ice wolves have stopped, the power and killing intent permeating the air are unprecedentedly strong. It means Ye Tian and Elder Xi Feng are probably about to use their final moves!"

"Indeed! They’re probably running out of time; this long battle is finally reaching its conclusion!"

...

While the Martial Artists discussed the battle between Ye Tian and Elder Xi Feng, the ice wolves transformed by Elder Xi Feng’s soul division began to move slowly. Elder Xi Feng, by nature, wouldn’t be troubled by such a situation.

"Ye Tian, truly fascinating, I didn’t expect you to face my attack so calmly. Unfortunately, as a Martial Artist, you have a fatal weakness!"

Elder Xi Feng’s voice suddenly sounded, making Ye Tian slightly uncomfortable. He glanced around at the pack of wolves; just what kind of tactics is this Xi Feng guy playing?

"Weakness? What weakness?"

Ye Tian said calmly, and Elder Xi Feng’s voice immediately lingered in his ears.

"This weakness is that you care too much about your companions!"

Elder Xi Feng’s voice pierced Ye Tian’s heart like a needle. Ye Tian inwardly shouted ’not good,’ wanting to do something, but unexpectedly a pack of ice wolves had already turned their direction, no longer attacking Ye Tian but charging straight at Ye Tian’s companions!

The Martial Artists from the Night King Hall, Heaven’s Gate, and Annihilation Squad had just experienced a great battle with Elder Xi Feng. Everyone was wounded, tired, and recuperating. The power of this pack of ice wolves was formidable. If they rushed towards these companions, the companions might be in grave danger!

"Everyone, don’t be afraid! Ye Tian already mentioned it! These ice wolves don’t have much attack power, unless they explode! So, please don’t panic!"

"Yes! That Xi Feng Elder guy won’t let the ice wolves explode in order to protect his real body from being attacked!"

Daichong and Tian Qi immediately said to their companions, but as they spoke, their hearts were not confident.

The reason is quite natural, Xi Feng Elder only fears Ye Tian, no one else even catches his attention!

In other words, when triggering the explosion of the ice wolves, Ye Tian might attack his real body, but others have no such possibility, so Xi Feng Elder recklessly controls the ice wolves, born of his soul fragmentation, to charge at the warriors of the Night King Hall, Tianmen, Annihilation Squad...

"Damn it!"

Facing the aggressive pack of ice wolves, Daichong definitely couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. He fiercely unleashed his Wind Flow Strength attack, and several whirlwinds shot out from his body, directly attacking these arrogant ice wolves.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~~"

One by one, the ice wolves were shattered by Daichong. Due to the distance, these ice wolves didn’t explode.

However, the sheer number of ice wolves was overwhelming, and Daichong alone couldn’t shatter all these beasts with his attacks!

So, Daichong immediately called out, "Everyone, as long as you have long-range attack capabilities, give it your all and attack with all your might! Don’t let these ice wolves get close!"

Daichong’s words undoubtedly contradicted himself...

Just moments ago, he and Tian Qi were reassuring everyone not to panic because of these ice wolves, but now he was clearly panicking and had lost his composure!

Seeing Daichong like this, everyone else, including Tian Qi, dared not slack off. All the martial artists with long-range attack capabilities began to display their skills, fiercely attacking the ice wolves created by the soul fragmentation of Xi Feng Elder!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~~~~~~~~"

With so many martial artists simultaneously launching long-range attacks at the enemy, it looked quite spectacular. Along with the sharp cracking sounds, the ice wolves shattered into ice fragments!

However, the ice wolves were, after all, a product of Xi Feng Elder’s soul fragmentation. How could they be restrained by these martial artists who were much weaker than them?

The shattered ice fragments once again gathered into fierce ice wolves and pounced on the martial artists who had attacked them earlier.

"What’s the end to these ice wolves? Now I understand why the boss hasn’t been able to defeat that guy until now... How can such an opponent, using such a strange and elusive tactic, be so easily defeated?"

"These beasts could explode at any moment, so we mustn’t let them get too close! Brothers, we have to hold on! Hold on!"

"Don’t worry! Ye Tian will save us! As long as we can hold on, we can defeat that Xi Feng Elder!"

...

The martial artists comforted each other, gaining confidence to withstand the assault of Xi Feng Elder. All the martial artists were launching long-range attacks to shatter the incoming ice wolves!

Despite this, the number of ice wolves did not decrease; instead, it increased, surrounding the martial artists...

Seeing his brothers in such danger, Ye Tian could no longer sit idly by. He immediately rushed to the front of his brothers.

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

Ye Tian swung the wooden sword in his hand, countless Vacuum Blades shot towards the wolf pack.

"Crash, crash, crash~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The ice wolves that had approached were instantly hit by Ye Tian’s Vacuum Blades and shattered into ice fragments!

"It’s the boss! The boss is here!"

"With Ye Tian taking action, we are saved!"

...

Seeing Ye Tian join the battle to save them, the martial artists shouted excitedly, as to them, Ye Tian represented hope!

And Ye Tian responded to his brothers with a smile...

However, the Life Weapon in Ye Tian’s hand had thoughts contrary to everyone else’s...

"Kid, you’re being too reckless! Haven’t you fallen into that guy’s trap this way?"
