95: Chapter 95 Ambush Outside the City, Seizing the Opportunity

Ye Tian did not choose to leave the city during the day, as that would be too conspicuous.

Using his Divine Sense, he avoided the main roads, choosing quiet alleys to move stealthily toward the side gate of the city.

The process went unexpectedly smoothly; he did not encounter any obstacles until he reached the foot of the city wall.

However, just when he thought he could leave safely, an inexplicable sense of crisis arose in his heart!

Not far outside the city gate, beside the official road, in a sparse forest, a few fluctuations of Qi could be faintly felt; although extremely weak, the killing intent could not be concealed.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush!"

Ye Tian's eyes sharpened. He stopped and hid in the shadow of a corner, probing forward with his Divine Sense.

Three people were lying in ambush in the forest.

The leader was Elder Zhang, whom he had fought during the day. He was sitting cross-legged on a blue stone, closing his eyes to rest.

Beside him stood two men dressed in Blood Blade Sect attire, both with cultivation at the Ningyuan First Level Peak, scanning the direction of the official road.

"Hmph, I knew this kid would try to sneak away at night!"

A man at the Ningyuan First Level said in a low voice, "Elder Zhang is brilliant. By waiting here for the rabbit, we will definitely make him unable to return!"

Elder Zhang slowly opened his eyes, cold light flickering within them: "The Young Lord suffered such a great humiliation, and the Sect Leader is furious. This brat must be captured alive and handed over to the Young Lord to be dealt with personally to relieve his hatred. Everyone, perk up; he cannot escape from our grasp!"

Ye Tian sneered in his heart.

Captured alive?

They probably wanted to force the location of the Overlapping Wave Fist remnant out of him before inflicting torture.

The opponent was well-prepared: one at the Ningyuan Third Level and two at the Ningyuan First Level Peak—a truly luxurious lineup.

Charging in blindly was definitely not a wise move.

But retreating back into the city would be a dead end.

Ye Tian scanned the surrounding environment. The official road was flat, unfavorable for hiding or breaking through.

On the other side were rugged, desolate hills, appearing even more eerie in the night.

"I have to take a risk."

Ye Tian made a decision in an instant.

He quietly suppressed his own Qi to the minimum and moved toward the hills!

His movements were extremely fast and without warning. It wasn't until he had dashed out dozens of zhang and disappeared into the shadows of the rocks that Elder Zhang in the forest suddenly opened his eyes!

"Hmm? What a cunning brat! Chase!"

Elder Zhang let out a sharp shout and soared into the air. Although he couldn't fly, short-distance gliding was no problem, and he lunged toward the direction where Ye Tian had disappeared.

The two men at the Ningyuan First Level Peak also immediately used their movement techniques to follow closely behind.

A life-and-death chase began!

Ye Tian pushed his speed to the limit, leaping among the rocks, temporarily widening the distance from his pursuers.

But Elder Zhang was, after all, at the Ningyuan Third Level. Although his movement technique wasn't refined, relying on his vigorous True Qi, his speed was steadily faster than Ye Tian's, and the distance was constantly closing.

"Kid, you can't escape! Surrender now, and you can avoid physical suffering!"

Elder Zhang's shout was like thunder, but Ye Tian turned a deaf ear, his eyes scanning forward to look for an Opportunity to escape.

Suddenly, he perceived a stone forest maze not far ahead with an abnormal terrain and complicated paths.

"That's it!"

Ye Tian was delighted and accelerated toward the stone forest.

"Trying to use the terrain? Wishful thinking!"

Elder Zhang saw through Ye Tian's intention and snorted coldly. His speed increased by another thirty percent, and at the same time, he struck out with a palm from the air!

The Ningyuan Third Level True Qi transformed into a solid blood-colored palm print that attacked Ye Tian's back!

Feeling the palm wind behind him, Ye Tian's scalp tingled, knowing he couldn't take it head-on.

He slid to the side, narrowly avoiding the main force of the palm print!

Boom!

The palm print hit a huge rock, shattering it into pieces, with gravel flying everywhere!

Although Ye Tian avoided the direct hit, he was swept by the edge of the palm wind. His blood surged, and his throat turned sweet, but he endured it, used the momentum to lunge forward, and rolled into the stone forest.

"Search separately! He is injured and can't run far!"

Elder Zhang ordered, and the three immediately scattered to search the stone forest.

Ye Tian hid in the shadow of a stone crevice, holding his breath and concealing his Qi.

The wound on his shoulder reopened during the previous evasion, and blood seeped out, but he couldn't care about that now.

Footsteps and shouts echoed in the stone forest, getting closer and closer.

One man at the Ningyuan First Level Peak was carefully searching toward his hiding place.

Ye Tian's eyes turned cold, and killing intent surged in his heart.

Being passively beaten was not his style. Since he couldn't escape, he would first prune their wings!

"Killing one is one earned!"

When the man walked to the stone crevice and poked his head out to look, Ye Tian suddenly sprang up!

He didn't use the Overlapping Wave Fist; instead, he pointed his fingers together, condensed all his True Qi at his fingertips, and turned it into Sword Qi to pierce the opponent's throat!

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

The man didn't expect Ye Tian to counterattack, let alone that the attack would be so fierce!

His pupils shrank, and he only had time to tilt his head slightly!

"Puchi!"

The Sword Qi pierced the side of his neck, bringing out a spray of blood!

The man covered his spraying wound, his eyes full of horror, and fell to the ground unwillingly before he could even make a sound.

One-hit kill!

"Over there!"

The shouts of the other two came immediately!

Ye Tian didn't even look at the corpse and disappeared into the stone forest again.

He used the terrain to constantly change his position and circled with the remaining two.

Elder Zhang was both shocked and angry. He didn't expect Ye Tian to be so troublesome; not only was his movement technique flexible, but his attacks were also ruthless and decisive.

He released his Divine Sense with all his might, locking onto Ye Tian's figure, and chased relentlessly.

The other person looked a bit panicked; the death of his companion made him feel afraid.

Ye Tian keenly captured this point.

He deliberately made a noise, leading the man to a rocky hollow, while Elder Zhang was temporarily blocked by a few huge rocks.

"Die!"

Seeing that Ye Tian seemed exhausted and trapped in the rocky hollow, the man felt emboldened and rushed up with his blade!

However, waiting for him was Ye Tian's full-strength blow that had been brewing for a long time!

"Overlapping Wave Fist!"

Ye Tian roared in a low voice, his True Qi surging within him. The man swung his blade to block, but felt an irresistible force surge over!

The blade shook violently, and the tiger's mouth cracked!

Immediately after, the fist force penetrated his body!

"Crack... Puchi!"

His ribs were shattered, and his internal organs turned to pulp!

The man's eyes bulged, and he flew backward, hitting the rock wall and dying on the spot!

Having killed two people in a row, Ye Tian was also exhausted, his breathing rapid.

Just then, Elder Zhang finally broke through the obstacles and appeared at the entrance of the rocky hollow with a roar. Seeing the miserable state of his two subordinates, his eyes were about to crack with rage!

"Little bastard! I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

Elder Zhang completely lost control, the blood light around him surging. Obviously, he was truly enraged, his Aura climbed a notch, his speed increased violently, and he lunged at Ye Tian!

This time, he didn't hold back, swearing to kill Ye Tian under his palm!

Ye Tian's expression was solemn. Feeling the opponent's surging killing intent, he knew it was a life-and-death moment!

He took a deep breath, his eyes resolute, preparing to use his last trump card.

Martial Dao Will!

However, just at this moment! Elder Zhang's forward momentum was too strong, and combined with his loss of composure due to rage, he didn't notice a huge rock under his feet that had been loosened by Ye Tian's previous fist force!

He stepped down, and the rock suddenly slipped!

"Hmm?!"

Elder Zhang's figure staggered. Although he stabilized in an instant, his Aura, which had gathered to its Peak, showed a flaw!

When experts fight, they only fight for an instant!

How could Ye Tian miss this fleeting Opportunity?

He poured all his True Qi into his legs, stomped hard, and his figure didn't retreat but advanced, brushing past Elder Zhang's side!

At the same time, he backhanded a finger, condensed his remaining True Qi, and pierced directly at Elder Zhang's vital rib!

This move had a tricky angle, and the timing was grasped perfectly!

Elder Zhang never expected Ye Tian to be so cunning. He tried to block with his palm in a hurry, but he was already half a beat slow!

"Chi!"

Although the Sword Qi couldn't exert its full power, it still broke through his protective True Qi, leaving a deep gash to the bone on his rib!

The severe pain came, and the operation of his True Qi was immediately stagnant!

"Ah!"

Elder Zhang screamed, both shocked and angry!

And Ye Tian had already used the momentum to escape, and without looking back, he plunged deeper into the stone forest.

He knew deeply that although this blow injured the enemy, it was far from fatal. Taking advantage of the opponent's chaos was the best time to escape!

Elder Zhang clutched the wound on his ribs, blood gushing out. Watching the direction Ye Tian disappeared, he was trembling with anger, but due to his injuries and the disorder of his True Qi, he was unable to pursue for a while.

He could only watch Ye Tian disappear into the night.

"Ye... Tian...!"

"My Blood Blade Sect will never rest until you are dead!"

The resentful roar echoed over the desolate hills.

Half an hour later, Ye Tian was in a cave a hundred miles away.

He carefully treated his wounds and changed out of his blood-stained clothes.

Counting the gains from this counter-kill, from those two men at the Ningyuan First Level Peak, besides some Spirit Stones and ordinary Medicinal Pills, he also found a Jade Slip recording a Profound Rank low-grade movement technique Secret Manual of the Blood Blade Sect called "Blood Shadow Escape". Although it was incomplete, it could just make up for some of his shortcomings in movement techniques.

Playing with the blood-stained Jade Slip of the Overlapping Wave Fist remnant, Ye Tian's eyes were deep.

"Crisis is also an Opportunity."

"Blood Blade Sect... I have accepted this grudge."

"When I achieve Major Achievement in my divine skill, I will definitely go to the Blood Blade Sect personally to settle this score!"

For now, the most important thing was to comprehend the remnant and improve his strength!
