82: Chapter 82 The Cheers of Victory

The blood-colored blade glow reflected in Ye Tian's pupils, rapidly enlarging.

But under this extreme pressure, Ye Tian's mind instead entered a state of emptiness.

He forgot fear, forgot victory or defeat, and even forgot himself.

His entire spirit was focused on that descending blade, to counter this lethal strike!

Just as the blade was about to strike his body, that mysterious and profound feeling descended once again!

Martial Dao Will!

His body once again slipped out of his conscious control, moving slightly to the side in a way that transcended instinct!

At the same time, his right fist moved along an incredible trajectory, striking first despite starting later. It did not collide with the strongest part of the blade, but instead slammed with pinpoint accuracy into a node where the blood-colored saber's power circulated.

The "seven-inch" spot where the connection between the blade and Tu Qianshan's True Qi was relatively weak!

Meanwhile, his left arm was held horizontally above his head, Dragon-Elephant Power driven to its limit!

All of this happened in a split second!

Boom...

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out!

The blood-colored blade glow and the golden fist force collided fiercely!

The blinding light instantly swallowed their figures!

A terrifying energy storm swept outward, leveling everything within several zhang!

Everyone was blinded by the intense light and forced to retreat repeatedly by the shockwave!

The light slowly dissipated.

The scene in the arena made everyone gasp in shock!

They saw that where Ye Tian stood, the ground had sunk into a huge, deep pit.

His left sleeve was completely shredded, and a deep, bone-visible wound appeared on his arm, with blood flowing down, a shocking sight!

His face was pale, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth; he had clearly suffered a serious injury.

But, he was standing!

He had taken this lethal strike!

And even more shocking was Tu Qianshan!

The blood-colored saber in his hand had dissipated, and he himself staggered back seven or eight steps, his chest heaving violently, his face full of shock and disbelief!

He felt that the lethal move he had gathered had been interfered with by a strange power at the last moment, causing his True Qi to backfire and leaving him with internal injuries too!

"Impossible! How could you see through the flaw in my 'Asura Slash'?!"

Tu Qianshan cried out, his voice tinged with a trace of fear.

That was not just a clash of power, but a crushing of will!

Ye Tian slowly lowered his left arm, letting the blood flow, but his eyes were burning with flames.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling the even more boiling Battle Intent within his body, as well as the Martial Dao Will that had become clearer at the moment of life and death, and said coldly: "Your blade is nothing more than this."

Before his voice had even faded, Ye Tian moved!

He would no longer give Tu Qianshan a chance to catch his breath!

Taking advantage of his shaken mind and chaotic True Qi, he pounced again!

This time, his attacks were no longer limited to brute force!

Between his fists and feet, he began to integrate his Martial Dao Will, although he could not yet master it freely!

But compared to before, he seemed to be able to integrate a portion of it.

Sometimes fierce and powerful like a Dragon-Elephant stepping on the heavens, sometimes agile like a divine ape climbing a mountain, he could always attack the position where Tu Qianshan found it hardest to defend at the most appropriate moment!

Tu Qianshan was both shocked and angry, barely blocking the moves, only to find himself completely caught in Ye Tian's rhythm!

Every one of the opponent's attacks could predict his movements, pointing straight to his weaknesses!

Although his Blood Fiend Art was overbearing, in front of Ye Tian's Martial Dao Will that always anticipated the enemy, it appeared full of holes!

"Ah! I don't believe it!"

Tu Qianshan let out an unwilling roar, looking like a mad demon, fighting back desperately, but revealing even more flaws!

Bang! A punch hit his ribs, and Tu Qianshan let out a muffled groan.

Crack! A leg swept his knee, and Tu Qianshan staggered.

Boom! A shoulder strike slammed fiercely into his chest, and Tu Qianshan finally could not hold on, spraying a large mouthful of blood and flying backward!

This time, Tu Qianshan did not get up again.

Silence!

Everyone stared at this scene, dumbfounded, their minds blank.

The Ningyuan Realm Third Stage Chief of the Black Cloud Stronghold, Tu Qianshan... was defeated?!

Defeated by a youth who had just broken through to the Ningyuan Realm First Stage?!

This was simply like a dream!

After a brief dead silence, the Ye Family camp erupted into deafening, ecstatic cheers!

"We won! Young Master Ye Tian won!"

"We survived! The Family is saved!"

The Ye Family Disciples and guards, having survived the disaster, were all teary-eyed!

Many embraced each other, venting the excitement in their hearts to their fullest.

That figure of the youth in green, bathed in blood yet standing proudly, was now deeply imprinted in everyone's heart!

Grand Elder Great Elder Ye Zhengyuan, Second Elder Ye Wenshan, and other high-level members of the Ye Family were also trembling with excitement, their gazes toward Ye Tian filled with gratification.

They knew that if not for Ye Tian today, the Ye Family's century-old foundation would surely have been destroyed in one fell swoop.

Chen Xue's hanging heart finally dropped; a bright smile bloomed on her beautiful face, and the brilliance in her eyes as she looked at Ye Tian grew even stronger.

Ye Ruyi also breathed a sigh of relief, a flush appearing on her pale face.

And unlike the ecstasy on the Ye Family's side.

Lin Batian's face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

He stared at Ye Tian, unable to understand why this once obscure Ye Family kid could become so terrifying in such a short time!

He knew that after this battle, the Lin Family's power in Luo City would be severely damaged, while the Ye Family would rise strongly, stepping on the bones of the Lin Family and the Black Cloud Stronghold!

Yan She was even more bloodless, looking at the Chief Tu Qianshan, who had been defeated by Ye Tian in the distance, he only felt icy cold all over.

Even the Ningyuan Realm Third Stage Chief had been defeated; if he stayed, he would only have a dead end!

Taking advantage of everyone's attention being on Ye Tian, he quietly moved backward, intending to blend into the chaotic crowd and escape.

In the center of the battlefield, Ye Tian stood alone.

Although he had successfully defeated Tu Qianshan, the consumption from challenging a higher level was extremely huge; his face was pale, and his aura was unstable.

He forced himself to hold up his exhausted body, his gaze sweeping over the routed coalition of the Lin Family and the Black Cloud Stronghold. Everyone who was swept by his gaze felt terrified, throwing away their weapons one after another, not daring to have the slightest thought of resistance.

"Clear out the remaining enemies, those who surrender will not be killed!"

Ye Tian's voice was already a bit faint.

"We will strictly follow Senior Brother Ye Tian's orders!"

At this moment, everyone in the Ye Family followed Ye Tian's orders without question.

At this time, Ye Qingtian, whose injuries had slightly eased, walked forward with the support of his clansmen. He looked at Ye Tian, his eyes filled with gratitude.

He patted Ye Tian's shoulder hard, his voice a bit choked: "Ye Tian! Well done! From today on, you are our Ye Family's greatest hero! You turned the tide when it was falling and propped up the building when it was about to collapse! I, on behalf of the whole clan, thank you!"

Ye Tian quickly bowed, his tone humble: "Clan Chief, you are too kind; protecting the Family is this Disciple's duty."

"No need for formalities!"

Ye Qingtian quickly steadied him, looking at Ye Tian's pale face, and said with concern: "You have exhausted too much, go back and rest quickly! Leave this to us."

Ye Tian indeed felt waves of exhaustion washing over him, and he nodded.

Under the admiring gazes of everyone, he turned and walked toward his own courtyard.
