Chapter 1327: Chapter 1323: The Final Battle!!
"What are these things?"
The two immediately approached. Ye Tian placed his hand on the cocoon. Although its shape was similar to a cocoon, the touch was drastically different; it was as solid as piano wire, even stronger than black iron.
"Ye Tian, what exactly are these things?"
Daichong asked with confusion. Ye Tian, who possessed clairvoyant ability, could naturally see what these gigantic cocoons truly were at a glance...
"These are all people from South City!"
Ye Tian sighed and said.
Daichong was startled and exclaimed, "These are South City people? How are they wrapped up in silk cocoons?"
Ye Tian carefully examined the people inside the cocoons with his clairvoyant ability and said, "Although I don’t know what’s going on, these people have almost been drained dry. They are barely clinging to life. If more time passes, they’ll become dry corpses!"
Daichong angrily raised his fist and said, "It seems these cocoons have the function of absorbing life force. Over time, everyone’s life force will become the power of that guy, Elder Dong Feng! This damned thing builds his strength on the lives of others; doesn’t he have any compassion?"
In the square, there were hundreds of thousands of giant cocoons of various sizes; the large ones were obviously adults, while the small ones were children... Among all the cocoons, Ye Tian even saw a few pathetically small ones; weren’t those baby cocoons?
In other words, that ruthless Elder Dong Feng won’t even spare babies to gain power!
Clearly at a time for crying, laughing, and enjoying a mother’s tenderness, these infants haven’t even tasted the joys of the world before becoming food for Elder Dong Feng, sacrificing their lives...
Ye Tian, being a parent himself, clenched his fists tightly at the thought that his daughter might face the same fate, filled with righteous anger!
Therefore, Ye Tian scanned the horizon, searching among all those giant cocoons for Yun Xinyan and his recently born daughter.
However, no matter how much Ye Tian searched, he ultimately couldn’t find them...
Among the hundreds of thousands of giant cocoons, finding two people was like searching for a needle in a haystack, making it extremely challenging even for Ye Tian.
Of course, even if Ye Tian couldn’t find traces of Yun Xinyan and his daughter, he still discovered his comrades among the cocoons.
"Ding Da, Ding Er, Ding San ... that’s Ye Xuong ... that’s Bilis..."
All were Martial Artists from the Night King Hall. They came to South City’s Underground City due to being severely injured and planned to transfer to a safe place, but they fell into Elder Dong Feng’s trap.
Fortunately, although the Martial Artists from the Night King Hall were restrained by cocoons, unable to escape, and had their powers absorbed by Elder Dong Feng, their deep Inner Strength meant Dong Feng couldn’t completely drain them. As long as some strength remained, there was hope for rescue!
"These are the disciples of Tianmen ... those are brothers from the Annihilation Squad..."
Ye Tian narrated one by one. He was very familiar with the Tianmen disciples, and despite the Annihilation Squad just having joined, Ye Tian also knew their appearances well.
"..."
Daichong followed closely behind Ye Tian. He did not understand how Ye Tian could identify who was wrapped inside the giant cocoons, but whenever Ye Tian pointed to a cocoon and identified a Tianmen disciple inside, Daichong would touch the cocoon, trying to hear the voice of the disciple within.
Ye Tian continued to search among the hundreds of thousands of giant cocoons, but unfortunately, he still couldn’t see traces of his wife Yun Xinyan or his daughter ...
Where on earth did they go?
Ye Tian silently wondered, and Daichong, understanding Ye Tian’s concerns, advised, "Ye Tian, I know you’re very anxious, but we’re in a perilous situation. Being anxious won’t help us! Even if you find where your wife and daughter are among so many cocoons, have you thought about how to save them?"
"..."
Daichong’s words reminded Ye Tian.
He’d only been focused on finding Yun Xinyan and his daughter’s whereabouts, forgetting how to rescue the hundreds of thousands of people from the cocoons.
The silk of the cocoons was exceptionally hard, likely not easy to break...
So Ye Tian immediately took out the wooden knife he carried with him!
The Life Weapon is indestructible; maybe it could slice through the incredibly tough silk!
"Kid, saving a life is a noble deed! Give it a try!"
The heart of the millennium ancient tree also responded to Ye Tian, and Ye Tian immediately injected all his power into the Life Weapon. The wooden sword instantly erupted with a blinding white light.
Similarly, in the South City Underground City, Ye Tian used the wooden sword to cut through the ropes binding the thirteen guards. More importantly, Ye Tian was now able to slash through the Black Hole Clan’s different space with the wooden sword!
Therefore, Ye Tian had quite a knack for effortlessly slicing through something strong and powerful...
After gathering all the strength from within, Ye Tian aimed at the huge cocoon that bound the martial artist of the Night King Hall, lifted the wooden sword high, and struck fiercely!
"Crash!"
A crisp sound rang out, but the cocoon before his eyes didn’t budge, not even showing the slightest sign of damage.
It’s important to note that Ye Tian had exerted all his strength this time because the cocoon housed a martial artist with formidable skills, so even if injured, it wouldn’t be fatal, which is why Ye Tian dared to strike this cocoon...
But surprisingly, the indomitable Life Weapon couldn’t cut through the cocoon before him. Just how tough was this thing?
"Seems like it’s not working for now!"
Ye Tian sighed and said to Daichong.
The reason he was able to cut through the ropes binding the thirteen guards was naturally that it wasn’t Elder Dong Feng’s doing. If Elder Dong Feng were the one binding them, even with his abilities, he wouldn’t have been able to cut through those ropes.
Seeing Ye Tian a bit frustrated, Daichong quickly said, "Ye Tian, it’s okay. There is always a way out. Elder Dong Feng is so arrogant all because he relies on the Spirit Vein Stone he stole from the underground beneath Jiang City. All we need to do is destroy the Spirit Vein Stone, and he will lose all his power!"
"You’re right!"
Ye Tian immediately nodded and led Daichong towards the direction of the Black Character Stele.
The Black Character Stele was located at the center of the South City Underground City, and the Spirit Vein Stone was right below it!
However, as soon as they took a step, Ye Tian suddenly sensed a wave of killing intent coming from above!
"Dodge quickly!"
Ye Tian shouted, pulling Daichong back a step, but nothing fell from above. It was just someone landing lightly a dozen meters away. Who else could it be but Elder Dong Feng?
"..."
Ye Tian’s expression suddenly became serious. Elder Dong Feng hadn’t even made a move just now, yet the sheer intensity of his killing intent caused Ye Tian’s body to react instinctively.
Although Elder Dong Feng’s appearance hadn’t changed, he seemed even more powerful than when they last fought!
Upon arriving at the South City Underground City, there was no avoiding the confrontation with Elder Dong Feng. Initially, Ye Tian thought he would only encounter Elder Dong Feng when he reached the deepest part of the South City Underground City, but unexpectedly, he showed up!
"..."
Daichong also stood motionless. Although the aura of Elder Dong Feng was overwhelmingly intimidating, Daichong knew very well that he couldn’t retreat. If he couldn’t maintain a clear mind in front of Elder Dong Feng, how could he talk about defeating him?
"You’re still alive? And you’ve already recovered from your injuries?"
Seeing Ye Tian and Daichong fully recovered from their severe injuries and back to their peak combat states, Elder Dong Feng was also taken aback, his eyes filled with doubt.
Tian Qi and Daichong had taken the severely injured and unconscious Ye Tian away, passing straight through the barrier of South City; a sturdy hole had been torn open in the otherwise solid South City barrier. Just as he was about to catch Ye Tian after pursuing beyond the South City, he was unexpectedly blocked by a man in black. The black-clad man’s martial arts skills were actually on par with his own. Ye Tian and Daichong, despite their serious injuries, had recovered in such a short time and returned to the South City Underground City...
Countless questions swirled in Elder Dong Feng’s mind, but he disdained to ask Ye Tian and Daichong!
Because Elder Dong Feng was well aware that his plan was about to succeed. Once successful, he would gain the bloodline of the Divine Race and supreme power. At that point, anyone blocking his way would be killed by him, so how could he possibly care about these ants playing tricks in front of him?
"This is truly interesting. Despite narrowly escaping death, you all are eager to return and meet your end! Although I don’t know how you managed to get near the Underground City, the moment that woman Tian Qi attacked my tentacles, I knew you would come, so I’ve been waiting here all along!
Ye Tian, Daichong, and that traitor Tian Qi, you are the last few martial artists not yet under my control, so just accept your fate! Either become my power or die here directly!"
Elder Dong Feng spoke harshly, his words brimming with killing intent, causing even masters like Ye Tian and Daichong to shiver in fear...
Undoubtedly, this was the last battle in the South City. As for the outcome, there were only two possibilities: either they would die, or Elder Dong Feng would, and the entire South City would be saved!
