Chapter 1315: Chapter 1311: The Man in Black
Elder Dong Feng’s brows were tightly knitted. Unless someone was extremely familiar with the barriers of the Black Hole Clan, it would be impossible to break the barrier without his noticing...
However, the barrier before him now had a hole, which meant Ye Tian and the other two had already escaped from South City through it.
Who on earth broke the barrier?
After pondering, Elder Dong Feng couldn’t think of anyone else besides Ye Tian.
After all, Ye Tian’s potential was limitless. If it were him, he might indeed do some unbelievable things, including breaking the Black Hole Clan’s barrier...
But earlier, when chasing Ye Tian, he clearly saw that Ye Tian was unconscious. How could an unconscious person break the Black Hole Clan’s barrier?
Even if Ye Tian suddenly awoke, with his strength and condition, how could he break such a sturdy barrier? More importantly, he did it so silently without Dong Feng noticing.
Could it be someone else broke the barrier?
Elder Dong Feng’s heart tightened. It was a crucial moment for him to become a god, and he couldn’t let anyone interfere. So, he also passed through the hole in the barrier and continued to pursue Ye Tian and the others.
As the head of the four elders of the Black Hole Clan, Elder Dong Feng’s intuition was exceptionally keen. Although Daichong was carrying Ye Tian, fleeing rapidly with Tian Qi, any slight clue could be detected by Elder Dong Feng.
"Ye Tian hasn’t awakened; his aura is very weak... Comparatively, it’s Daichong and Tian Qi whose auras are stronger..."
While chasing, Elder Dong Feng carefully deduced, his judgment never being wrong. More importantly, by following this path, he could soon catch up to Ye Tian and the others.
"The trio’s aura is getting closer. At this rate, I’ll catch up in seconds. Once I kill Ye Tian, nothing in South City will threaten me again!"
Elder Dong Feng arrogantly monologued. As he said, although a crowd of martial artists entangled him, Ye Tian and the other two hadn’t escaped far, and he was about to catch up.
"Right there!!"
At this moment, Elder Dong Feng had already caught sight of the hems of Ye Tian and the others’ clothing, and judging by Daichong and Tian Qi’s speed, the two, exhausted and carrying the unconscious Ye Tian, were getting slower.
Just a bit more acceleration from Elder Dong Feng, and he’d catch up with them!
However, as Elder Dong Feng was about to speed up, a shadow loomed over his head.
"What!?"
Elder Dong Feng was taken aback. The newcomer’s aura seemed no less than his own, and even as a ruler of the Black Hole Clan, he couldn’t help but step back.
"Crash!"
The ground burst open, revealing a massive palm print.
Though the palm’s power was immense, it couldn’t harm Elder Dong Feng in the slightest, but it did prevent him from pursuing Ye Tian, as someone stood in his way.
This person was dressed in black and masked, making it impossible to discern his identity from his physique...
"Who are you? Why block my path?"
The black-clad figure obstructed his pursuit of Ye Tian and the others, naturally enraging Elder Dong Feng. Yet, the power displayed by this person was enough to make him cautious, so he didn’t rashly attack.
"..."
Faced with Elder Dong Feng’s fierce question, the black-clad person stayed silent, leaving Elder Dong Feng unable to sense any aura from him, which greatly annoyed him.
"Hiding behind a mask, a coward’s behavior!"
Despite his caution about the mysterious person’s strength, Elder Dong Feng was confident in his own power, believing there were few whose strength surpassed his in this world.
Perhaps this masked figure was merely putting on a show...
Unable to hold back any longer, Elder Dong Feng decided to attack!
"Since you won’t speak, I’ll kill you! Who asked you to interfere with my plans?"
As he spoke, Elder Dong Feng fiercely swung his fist and struck towards the black-clad person’s body!
And, although remaining silent, the black-clad person also swung his fist, meeting Dong Feng’s head-on!
"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Both refrained from using their full strength, yet the power of their clash seemed endless. The immense force caused the ground beneath both to collapse, pulling them in.
"Hmm?"
```
Dong Feng Elder looked at the man in black with surprise. In today’s world, there are very few who can rival his power. What is this man in black’s background?
Of course, neither of them had gone all out. Both had reserved their strength...
"Who exactly are you? Are you someone I know? Afraid I would recognize you, so you covered your face and didn’t speak to me?"
Dong Feng Elder gritted his teeth angrily. He had the situation in South City under control, and the man in black’s formidable power was too dangerous; Dong Feng Elder couldn’t allow any unpredictable events.
"No! We don’t know each other!"
As Dong Feng Elder guessed that the man in black was someone he knew, the man in black suddenly spoke. Yet, this voice was one Dong Feng Elder had never heard.
This situation left Dong Feng Elder a bit astounded...
"Since we don’t know each other, then why cover your face? It’s ridiculous; could it be that your face is disfigured?"
Dong Feng Elder mocked, but this time, the man in black ignored Dong Feng Elder...
Seeing the other party’s indifferent expression, Dong Feng Elder was displeased. As the ruler of the Black Hole Clan, no one dared to ignore his presence, not even the Divine Race!
Yet, this man in black, even though Dong Feng Elder didn’t know his background or the martial arts he used, dared to ignore him, which to Dong Feng Elder was a great insult!
So, Dong Feng Elder sneered and said, "Not speaking? Only the dead don’t speak; in that case, let me send you to death!"
With that, Dong Feng Elder swung his fist heavily.
Because they were close, the man in black had no chance to dodge and could only take Dong Feng Elder’s punch head-on.
"Buzzing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The clear sound of Inner Strength colliding between Dong Feng Elder and the man in black.
Their formidable forces caused the ground to tremble, like a fifth or sixth-level earthquake.
For any martial artist, a head-on collision with Inner Strength is undoubtedly a fight to the death. If one’s power far exceeds the enemy’s, it’s okay; but if their forces are equal, it creates a situation where "kill ten thousand enemies at the cost of three thousand allies."
Dong Feng Elder originally intended to engage in close combat with the man in black but didn’t expect the man in black to take his punch and compete with him in Inner Strength.
At this crucial moment, Dong Feng Elder didn’t want to waste his Inner Strength, but once engaged, it’s difficult to pull back easily.
Cold sweat started to drip from Dong Feng Elder’s forehead, while the man in black was naturally breathing heavily too.
It was, undoubtedly, an evenly matched showdown...
Dong Feng Elder and the man in black both tentatively unleashed their strength, knowing that if this Inner Strength contest continued, they would gradually use all their power.
At that time, it would indeed be a fierce battle!
Dong Feng Elder didn’t want this, nor did the man in black!
"Let’s each back off,"
the man in black suddenly said. But, the one who speaks first is generally the weaker one, and Dong Feng Elder scoffed, "Back off? I think you’re about to fall! If so, let me take another step further and kill you!"
"I’m about to fall?" Facing Dong Feng Elder’s sarcasm, the man in black merely smiled coldly, "You should say that about yourself! If we keep tussling here, it’ll benefit neither of us. If you don’t believe me, take a look behind you!"
"Behind?"
At the man’s reminder, Dong Feng Elder couldn’t help but turn around.
This turn revealed a shocking scene!
He saw red light flashing in the direction of the South City Underground City — the power emitted by the Spirit Vein Stone!
The man in black said, "You see it too; that power is about to lose control. If you don’t hurry back to handle it, all your plans might be in vain!"
"Damn it!"
Dong Feng Elder gritted his teeth angrily.
Although he would love to kill the man in black right then and there, it seemed he didn’t have the chance...
Because the Spirit Vein Stone’s power was reaching a critical level, if he didn’t return to control it, it would be difficult to manage, and his meticulously crafted plans would be for nothing!
This was Dong Feng Elder’s mistake. While chasing Ye Tian and others, he left South City. He originally thought he could catch up with Ye Tian and the others, but didn’t anticipate encountering the man in black, who could rival him.
