Chapter 1328: Chapter 1324: Fury!
"East Wind Elder, we didn’t come here to die! We came all the way to the Underground City of the South City to save everyone! We have united as one, but you are already isolated and without allies, so the one who will die is definitely you, not me!"
Facing the enormous killing intent released by East Wind Elder, Ye Tian was not afraid at all and said coldly.
East Wind Elder looked at Ye Tian disdainfully and said, "Do you want to stop me? Ye Tian, are you saying that you came to the Underground City of the South City with righteousness in mind, to save the whole South City, and that no matter what kind of enemy stands before you, you will kill them, right?"
"Of course!"
Ye Tian declared firmly, but even though he said it like that, Ye Tian faintly felt that what East Wind Elder said to him just now was somewhat strange...
"Hehehe... what a ’of course,’ I quite admire you!"
East Wind Elder sneered and pointed at the huge cocoon in front of them!
"Since you came here to kill me, now that you have arrived at the Underground City of the South City, you should naturally know the location of the Spirit Vein Stone. Its power is crucial to my grand plan, and you two should head straight for the Black Character Stele, right?
But these hundreds of thousands of giant cocoons have blocked your path, and you have been delayed here for an extremely long time! When time is tight and every second counts, you’re lingering here. Ye Tian, are you really fighting for everyone, a selfless person?"
"..."
East Wind Elder’s words were full of cold sarcasm, words that Ye Tian could not refute.
Seeing Ye Tian was a bit silent, Daichong immediately said, "East Wind Elder, you heartless fiend, you actually trapped hundreds of thousands of citizens of the South City and our companions in the cocoons. Don’t you feel any guilt at all for absorbing their life force?"
"Guilt? How could that be possible!?" East Wind Elder said disdainfully, "To become a part of my power and to gain the bloodline of the Divine Race and immortality is the aspiration of every person! Why would I feel guilty? On the contrary, they should thank me!"
East Wind Elder’s words were devoid of any compassion, as if everyone existed only for him!
"You..."
Daichong gritted his teeth; faced with someone as vicious as East Wind Elder, he truly had nothing to say.
Seeing Daichong was struck silent by his words, East Wind Elder looked at Ye Tian and said blandly, "Ye Tian, do you really think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Do you really think I would believe you came here solely to save the citizens of the South City? Do you really think I don’t know you’re truly a romantic?"
Ye Tian, as the ruler of the Black Hole Clan, I have long seen through human nature. Human nature is the ugliest thing; everyone is selfish. Everyone speaks grand words but acts out of self-interest!"
"Human nature?"
On the brink of battle, East Wind Elder suddenly spoke of something as trivial as ’human nature,’ leaving Ye Tian a little surprised...
"That’s right! Human nature!" East Wind Elder nodded and said, "Before I became the ruler of the Black Hole Clan, there were other elders. Even though our clan’s goal of becoming a god has never changed, the previous elders were overly lenient and tolerant, so the clan members were full of ulterior motives, not united at all. The Black Hole Clan not falling apart was already good enough, let alone realizing our grand plan.
That’s why I started gradually changing the temperament of the clan members! I bound everyone together, using all kinds of methods to let the clan understand the importance of sacrifice and dedication! I stripped everyone, including we elders, of our names, leaving only titles!
In this way, the whole temperament of the Black Hole Clan changed; they became like machines, each member just a cog in the great machine. Because of this, we have taken one step closer to our goals!
It was I who changed all the members; I who led them towards the grand plan; and I who brought the Black Hole Clan its rebirth! So compared to the previous elders, I am the greatest; I am the Savior of the Black Hole Clan!"
East Wind Elder showed an arrogant expression. Judging by achievements alone, he was indeed the best among the elders of the Black Hole Clan!
However, in modern society, one can no longer simply judge a hero by success or failure. Though East Wind Elder’s actions achieved the clan’s grand plan, they took away the freedom and happiness of the clan members, which alone was enough to make people despise him!
Ye Tian couldn’t help but sarcastically say, "East Wind Elder, you’re going against the tide, building your benefits on the sacrifice and dedication of others! The dead pile up beneath the feet of the successful; someone like you, such a ruler, is utterly unqualified!"
"Ye Tian, are you calling me selfish?"
Facing Ye Tian’s sarcasm, East Wind Elder’s expression immediately turned cold.
"Do you mean to say you are not selfish? Ye Tian, do you really think I don’t know what you’re searching for among these hundreds of thousands of giant cocoons! Your little schemes, I’m quite aware of them!"
Saying this, East Wind Elder waved his hand lightly, and above his head, a passage to a Different Space opened immediately.
"This... this is..."
Ye Tian was slightly stunned, and Daichong’s expression also appeared particularly surprised.
"What is this? Has he ’summoned’ something again?"
While Ye Tian and Daichong were dumbfounded, a giant cocoon gradually descended from the passage.
It was exactly the same as the hundreds of thousands of giant cocoons on site, which meant that naturally, there was a person within that giant cocoon!
The giant cocoon slowly fell in front of Elder Dong Feng, and the passage to the Different Space above him disappeared...
With this giant cocoon in hand, Elder Dong Feng naturally appeared even more smug!
"Ye Tian, let me prove to you now that you are actually a selfish person, coming to the southern city under the guise of saving everyone, but in fact, it was just to save one person... no, it should be to save two people!"
"..."
Elder Dong Feng’s malicious words made Ye Tian slightly alarmed, and he immediately used his clairvoyant ability to investigate the giant cocoon that fell from above Elder Dong Feng.
This investigation left Ye Tian ashen-hearted!
Because inside this giant cocoon was none other than his wife, Yun Xinyan!
"Give it to me!"
Ye Tian was furious, and without caring if he could deal with Elder Dong Feng, he directly swung his wooden sword and charged towards him.
"Shhh shhh shhh shhh shhh shhh shhh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Countless sword shadows filled the sky, infused with Ye Tian’s anger.
"Ye Tian! Why..."
Daichong temporarily didn’t know that the person in the cocoon was Yun Xinyan, so he couldn’t understand the reason for Ye Tian’s anger...
The Underground City in the southern city was Elder Dong Feng’s territory, filled with dangers everywhere. If you really wanted to attack Elder Dong Feng, you had to plan carefully and be prepared.
But Ye Tian’s behavior now was undoubtedly reckless, something Daichong couldn’t quite comprehend either...
"Have you lost your mind? Is it because I hit the nail on the head?"
Facing Ye Tian, who was rushing towards him, Elder Dong Feng only gave a cold smile. In his eyes, a Life Weapon was nothing...
"Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang ~~~~~~~~~~"
Elder Dong Feng extended his hands, casually blocking Ye Tian’s wooden sword.
That his flesh and blood could withstand the assault of his Life Weapon surprised Ye Tian greatly...
He knew he was desperate to save Yun Xinyan, so he didn’t hold back in the slightest. How could Elder Dong Feng’s body be so tough?
Of course, it wasn’t unexpected that the opponent could deflect his attack. After all, he had fought against another elder from the Black Hole Clan, Elder Nan Feng, whose body was also extremely hard, like black iron.
If Elder Nan Feng could stand barehanded against the attacks of a Life Weapon, then how could Elder Dong Feng, who was several times stronger, not do the same?
"I just don’t believe you aren’t afraid of a Life Weapon at all!"
Ye Tian declared proudly, then poured all his internal energy into the wooden sword, which began to emit dazzling radiance!
"Kid, are you going all out right from the start?"
The millennium ancient tree’s Shu Xin could clearly feel Ye Tian’s power infusion and couldn’t help but marvel.
With Ye Tian’s energy infused, the Life Weapon naturally became more ferocious!
Lightning began to coil around the wooden sword. These bolts were proof of Life Force pushed to the extreme!
"Elder Dong Feng, go to hell!"
Ye Tian shouted, then thrust fiercely, aiming the wooden sword at Elder Dong Feng’s throat vulnerability.
Even if Elder Dong Feng’s body was as tough as black iron, he might not have full protection at such a vulnerable spot like the throat, right?
"Want to kill me? Ye Tian, you’re a bit too hasty!"
Elder Dong Feng sneered, then extended two fingers. With a light pinch, he caught Ye Tian’s unstoppable Life Weapon!
"This... this can’t be..."
Ye Tian looked at Elder Dong Feng in disbelief. This guy, with just two fingers, had stopped his most powerful attack. How monstrous had his strength become?
