Ye Tian broke out in a cold sweat as he said this. 'I can't use the War Dragon Heavenly Arm again right now. I'm just trying to scare him.'
That last strike had been incredibly satisfying. He never expected his attack could actually injure Liu Changfeng, and quite severely at that. It was completely unexpected. Perhaps it was because the Fifth Form was inherently that powerful.
That, combined with the triple Attack Power bonus from the War Dragon Heavenly Arm and Liu Changfeng's own arrogance, had led to this result. If Ye Tian could use the War Dragon Heavenly Arm one more time, Liu Changfeng certainly wouldn't have been so heavily injured.
After executing the Fifth Form of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, Ye Tian felt completely drained. The attack had consumed a massive amount of his Dragon Spiritual Power. 'I'll have to be more careful in the future. The Energy released by the Dragon Pearl can't keep up at all.'
Ye Feifei had seen Ye Tian's attack with perfect clarity. It looked like he had used the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, yet it also felt strangely unfamiliar. For a moment, she was completely bewildered.
But to be able to injure Liu Changfeng was truly astonishing. She knew it must have something to do with the new skill Ye Tian had mastered, the War Dragon Heavenly Arm. She just hadn't expected the War Dragon Heavenly Arm to be so powerful.
Ye Weitian was also extremely surprised. Ye Tian hadn't even reached the Two Vein Realm, yet he had managed to injure a Three Vein Powerhouse. This was simply unprecedented. It certainly had a lot to do with Liu Changfeng underestimating his opponent, but things probably wouldn't be so easy from now on.
As for Liu Changfeng, his face was a mask of fury. For a dignified family head like himself to be injured by a junior—his reputation was in tatters. He was so enraged he wanted nothing more than to kill Ye Tian on the spot.
However, Ye Tian's last attack had indeed been formidable. For someone of his strength to unleash such Attack Power meant his Martial Skill was of no simple grade. In Liu Changfeng's eyes, it was likely an Earth Tier Martial Skill.
Based on his many years of combat experience, he deduced that Ye Tian could probably only execute that one strike. 'That attack must have consumed most of his Spiritual Power. His words just now were just a bluff to scare me.'
The only thing that puzzled him, however, was that Ye Tian had no wounds on him at all. With the force of his last attack, even Ye Weitian would have been injured. This one fact made him hesitate, wondering if Ye Tian truly possessed such strength.
After all, that Snake Centipede was his pet, and it would be difficult to tame such a ferocious Demon Beast without true power. For a moment, he began to hesitate.
The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python and the Liu Family's Elder were still locked in combat. Both were wounded, but the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python had stronger Defense Power and had sustained less damage. Nevertheless, it was still unable to shake off its opponent.
Just then, Liu Changfeng spoke to Ye Tian. "Brat, I really misjudged you. To think you possess such powerful attacks and even managed to injure me. You won't be so lucky next time. I'll make you die a miserable death!"
"Heh, who are you trying to scare? Since I dared to fight you, do you really think I'm afraid? To tell you the truth, I was just testing you earlier. I wasn't using my full strength at all. This time, though, I'll go all out. Do you really think the Ye Family is a pushover?" Ye Tian continued his bluff.
Liu Changfeng was stunned for a moment, half-believing and half-doubting Ye Tian's words. 'Even if he's a genius, there's no way he's stronger than me. He's obviously trying to break my composure and catch me off guard with a surprise attack.'
"Brat, you're still too green to fool me! Since you're so powerful, then show me your full strength!" Liu Changfeng didn't want to delay any longer, fearing the situation might change unexpectedly.
Tightening his grip on his longsword, his figure flashed as he charged toward Ye Tian. This time, however, Ye Tian could no longer meet the attack head-on; he could only rely on his speed to dodge.
However, the fact that he hadn't been injured at all earlier let him know that this was definitely the protection of the War Dragon Remnant Soul inside him. 'It will surely protect me again,' he thought, 'so I don't need to be too worried.'
But just as Liu Changfeng's longsword was three meters away from Ye Tian, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Seeing this person, a smile instantly spread across Ye Tian's face.
The newcomer simply lifted his arm slightly and grabbed at Liu Changfeng's longsword. With a sharp SNAP, Liu Changfeng's longsword shattered into several pieces.
This was a sword of Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact Level, renowned for its extreme hardness. Even Liu Changfeng himself might not be able to break it with a full-power strike. Yet this newcomer had destroyed his sword with a casual grab, completely unafraid of his attack. He couldn't even begin to imagine how powerful this person must be.
Liu Changfeng was a seasoned fighter. He quickly threw away the hilt and retreated several meters, staring in shock at the middle-aged man who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Senior, who might you be? Why have you appeared here?" Liu Changfeng didn't dare to be presumptuous and spoke politely to the newcomer.
The newcomer, however, didn't even glance at him. Instead, he walked over to Ye Tian, bowed respectfully, and said, "Young Master, you were frightened. You won't blame this subordinate, will you?"
"Elder Qing, I knew you would appear at the critical moment. How could I possibly blame you? But the Liu Family has done immense harm to the Ye Family. I want every single one of them dead!" Ye Tian said furiously.
"Rest assured, Young Master. I will ensure you are satisfied," Elder Qing said faintly.
The sudden appearance of Elder Qing stunned everyone. The ongoing fights came to a halt as everyone stared at this uninvited guest. Based on the aura he exuded and his ability to shatter Liu Changfeng's longsword with his bare hands, it was clear this man was anything but simple.
The members of the Ye Family looked as if they had just seen their savior. They were, however, confused by the newcomer's immense respect for Ye Tian, unable to understand what his relationship with Ye Tian was.
At that moment, Elder Qing glanced at the people around him and said coolly, "The Liu Family is far too audacious, daring to make a move against the Ye Family. For that, all of you must die today. This is the price for attacking the Ye Family."
The Liu Family's Elder also stopped fighting the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python and, in a flash, appeared before Liu Changfeng. The Eight-winged Golden Scale Python, for its part, shrank down and flew onto Ye Tian's shoulder. Ye Tian could see several distinct gashes on its underbelly.
Ye Tian remembered that he had needed to use the War Dragon Heavenly Arm to break through its defenses back then. For it to be injured now... Ye Tian knew exactly what that implied.
"Who in the world are you? This is a matter between the Ye Family and the Liu Family. I hope you won't meddle in what doesn't concern you!" the Liu Family Elder said to Elder Qing, his tone far from friendly.
"You don't need to know who I am. You only need to know one thing: I am the man who will take your life!" Elder Qing said faintly. With a slight wave of his hands, a powerful surge of energy erupted, followed by a phenomenon that shocked everyone present...
