"Bastard, why aren't you dodging? This is a Tier 2 formation; trapping you is more than enough." Xu Xinran said, lifting her chin with a smug look, though her eyes were filled with astonishment.
She was deeply shocked by the footwork Ye Tian had just used to dodge her attacks one after another.
Though she had lost one formation, she was too angry to care about that anymore now that she wanted to vent her frustration.
"Ha, this Ye Tian is finished, saying something like that!" The surrounding disciples gloated, folding their arms as they prepared to watch a good show.
Ye Tian's face darkened. Who could have guessed it was a Tier 2 trapping formation, with energy comparable to that of a Martial Master?
"Now, Xu... Junior Sister, Ye Tian knows he was wrong, so please be merciful and drop the matter,"
"He went off to take on a task." Ruan Fei said ingratiatingly, blocking Xu Xinran's path.
"You fat bastard, who are you calling Junior Sister!" Xu Xinran, despite her lovely and charming face, flared up in anger.
Seeing Ruan Fei block her way only made her even more furious.
Ye Tian felt a surge of gratitude; the fatty was undoubtedly loyal to him to the core!
By this time, a large crowd had inevitably gathered. Quite a few elders were among the onlookers,
but as long as a fight hadn't broken out or the situation wasn't too serious, they wouldn't step in to interfere.
It would be strange if there were zero friction among sect disciples, and such conflicts were actually beneficial for their growth.
"Then pardon me!"
Ruan Fei grit his teeth with a resolute expression and summoned a dark purple war hammer from his storage pouch.
It suited his bulky frame well. He suddenly unleashed his full strength, causing the war hammer to vibrate and hum,
interlaced with wisps of lightning.
Seeing this, Xu Xinran realized what he was about to do and thought to herself that it was bad, but it was too late to stop him.
Bang!
A muffled, heavy explosion echoed out!
Arcs of electricity danced in Ruan Fei's eyes as his dark hair whipped about. Though fat, his movements were nimble. He swung the dark purple war hammer
like a mighty Hercules smashing a massive peak, bringing it down toward the Tier 2 formation with overwhelming force and fierce power.
Rumble!
The formation suddenly shook, cracking instantly. With a loud crash,
the glowing Tier 2 trapping formation shattered, and the air pressure swept outward like a storm.
It whipped up a gale of wind that sent sand and stones flying. The surrounding disciples hurriedly retreated to a safe distance, momentarily dazzled and stunned!
Ye Tian regained his freedom and wasn't surprised by Ruan Fei's combat strength at all. As his good buddy, how could he show off without some real muscle?
"Ah... You fat bastard... How dare you destroy my formation! The two of you are equally guilty!" After a brief moment of shock, Xu Xinran shrieked,
and two jade talismans appeared in her delicate hands. She activated them, and they flashed with volatile, destructive energy.
Seeing this,
Ye Tian and Ruan Fei froze, their minds going blank. What kind of strength was this? What kind of family fortune did she have to still have more of these?
These were their inner thoughts, and before they could do anything else or try to escape the scene,
"Ye Tian, do you dare to fight me?"
At that exact moment, a voice from afar cut through the tense atmosphere!
"Gu Dong, one of the top five prodigies of the outer sect! Now we're going to have a good show!"
The surrounding disciples immediately perked up, buzzing with excitement once more.
Even Xu Xinran stopped. The corners of her bright red, seductive lips curved up slightly as a cunning look flashed in her beautiful eyes, thinking to herself: I'll let him help me capture this bastard Ye Tian.
Gu Dong radiated an imposing aura. Dressed in outer sect attire with his dark hair draped over his shoulders,
he had a relatively handsome face, coldness gleaming in his eyes, and a burning desire for battle as he strode forward!
Ye Tian and Ruan Fei slightly furrowed their brows. These guys really knew how to pick their timing.
Among the top five outer sect prodigies, Ye Tian naturally held the top spot. They were unconvinced, though they had never actually defeated him, and they were all cultivators on the verge of entering the inner sect.
"Gu Dong, you've come at just the right time. As long as you help me capture him, I'll consider giving you a chance to pursue me." Xu Xinran lifted her chin,
radiating an alluring charm as she made an offer that seemed impossible to refuse.
With her lovely, cute face and the towering breasts that men loved so much,
her words carried immense lethality, instantly stirring up a wave of fervor among the surrounding disciples,
who wished they could nod and agree on the spot, utterly captivated by her alluring contrast!
Gu Dong's expression flickered with excitement as a burning gaze appeared in his eyes, looking as though he couldn't wait. This was undoubtedly like someone bringing a bucket to draw water—a win-win situation.
"Ye Tian, it was one thing for you to be arrogant before, but now you actually dare to court death by offending the person right in front of you. It would be a crime against heaven not to teach you a lesson!"
Gu Dong stared at Ye Tian with a righteous demeanor, his eyes turning icy and his heart pounding fiercely as he imagined winning the beauty's favor after putting on a good performance.
Just thinking about it made him itch all over, especially since... ah, he couldn't take it anymore.
"Gu Dong, do you take me for a decoration?" Ruan Fei's expression turned grim as he stepped forward, the war hammer in his hand ready to smash down at any moment.
Ting!
[System]: "Detected Ruan Fei's loyalty. Rewarded with two Tier 2 Origin-Ascending Pills of perfect quality."
Ye Tian claimed them without a second thought.
The Origin-Ascending Pill was the best medicinal pill for breaking through to the Martial Master realm, vastly increasing one's chances of success.
Now that it was of perfect quality, even someone with very weak talent would have a massive chance of breaking through.
"Hmph, you fat bastard, this has nothing to do with you. Do you really think you can run your mouth at me just because you broke through to the ninth layer?" Gu Dong glanced sideways at Ruan Fei with a look of disdain, his tone extremely condescending and dismissive.
Who did he think he was? Just some nobody daring to confront him!
"Hmph, tall talk is easy to bite your tongue on!" Ruan Fei retorted with equal disdain, his eyes flashing like lightning as he locked onto his opponent.
In an instant, the atmosphere became taut and explosive, thick with the smell of gunpowder.
"Fat bastard, since you're courting death, don't blame me. Watch how I cripple all four of your limbs!" Gu Dong's expression also chilled, a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
With a swift motion, a large saber materialized in his hand. He channeled his energy into it to the limit, causing the blade to hum.
"Wind-Breaking Slash!"
Gu Dong roared, decisively employing a Yellow-grade martial skill. The fierce blade edge carried a gale of wind,
radiating a brilliant light accompanied by a lingering, metallic ringing sound as it slashed viciously toward Ruan Fei's position.
He went straight for a lethal move without holding anything back!
Ruan Fei snorted coldly, showing no fear and wasting no words. With a single leap, he swung his war hammer,
its impact exploding in the air like thunder. With fierce and formidable power, he collided directly with Gu Dong's saber.
Ye Tian wasn't worried about Ruan Fei's combat strength either. This was their fight, and the surrounding disciples quickly cleared out a spacious area.
Even Xu Xinran did the same, wanting to see just what kind of combat power this fatty had that allowed him to shatter her Tier 2 formation.
The two clashed decisively without dodging, both entirely confident in their own strength.
A metallic chime rang out, sending sparks flying and kicking up countless ripples of energy that battered the surroundings.
"Fat bastard, since you're sticking your neck out for him, I'll cripple you first."
Gu Dong's expression was fierce, his tone bone-chilling and his eyes revealing an intense murderous intent that he no longer bothered to conceal.
He delivered another downward slash, aiming directly for Ruan Fei's thigh with ruthless and decisive intent.
The razor-sharp saber qi raged like a cage of sparks, tearing through the air currents one after another.
"Hmph, you punk, you only dared to jump out because you saw my brother's cultivation drop."
Ruan Fei flew into a rage, his bulky frame brimming with explosive power.
Sensing the killing intent, he became even more aggressive, swinging his war hammer with the momentum of a ferocious tiger bursting out of the mountains,
smashing straight toward his opponent's head amidst a thunderous sonic boom. At that moment,
he wanted to kill the guy too, even though they weren't on the Life-and-Death Stage and couldn't deal a fatal blow.
