Chapter Ninety-Six: Flying Leaves Fall

  Ye Tian, twenty-three years old, eldest grandson of the Ye family, Four Symbols Heavenly Boundary.

  Yi Rou frowned, somewhat displeased, and pulled away from him. Ye Tian had a bad reputation in the Ye family, being arrogant and flirtatious by nature. Although he was the eldest son, his abilities were not as good as those of Ye Lie and Ye Tao. However, he acted with the airs of an eldest son and was overbearing in the Tianwu country.

  If it wasn't for him coincidentally being in Blackstone City, the two of them would only be able to ask the Ye family for help, and they absolutely wouldn't be willing to have any dealings with this infamous Ye Tian.

  Ye Tian's eyes lit up the moment he saw Yi Rou, and his originally arrogant demeanor suddenly dropped, replaced by enthusiasm that made people suspect he had ulterior motives.

  "Xiao Rou, our two families have always been on good terms. The Ye family's affairs are also the Easy family's affairs. Don't worry, since you've found me, Tian Ge, no matter who it is inside, I'll help you take care of him!" Ye Tian's mouth curved into a smile, seemingly not noticing Xiao Rou's retreat, and took another step forward, getting closer to her.

  "Master Tian, everything is ready." Zhou Fuyun appeared quietly in a corner of the inn and said calmly.

  "Alright." Ye Tian slightly raised his head, confidently saying: "Xiao Jia, Xiao Rou, follow me in. In Heishi City, no one dares to not give face to the Ye family."

  Yi Jia and Yi Rou slightly furrowed their brows, exchanging a glance that revealed each other's helplessness. However, thinking about the ugly man in the tavern who had insulted them earlier, Yi Jia's hatred intensified. He grabbed Yi Rou and whispered, "Let's go, Xiao Rou. Let's take revenge first! After we've taken our revenge, we'll leave Blackstone City immediately."

  Yi Rou nodded obediently and followed Yi Jia, walking behind Ye Tian into the hotel.

  "Heavenly Young Master, that person lives in the ninth house on the east side, and all the people around have withdrawn. Be careful, Heavenly Young Master, don't demolish our small shop completely!" The boss had a bitter face and a helpless smile, knowing how great the Ye family's power was in Tianwu Country, and his small inn naturally couldn't afford to offend them.

  "Don't worry, the Ye family will naturally have a sense of proportion when doing things." Ye Tian tilted his head back and hummed softly, clearly somewhat impatient.

  "Zhou Fuyun, come with me. I want to see what kind of person you are, daring to lay hands on Xiao Rou!" Ye Tian said coldly.

  "Yes, young master." Zhou Fuyun bowed his head and said respectfully.

  In the inn, facing east, Ji Changkong, who had immersed his divine soul in the Azure Dragon's Sea of Consciousness, suddenly sensed several faint fluctuations of yuan energy around him.

  He suddenly woke up from his cultivation and felt that he was surrounded.

  Boom!

  The door was suddenly kicked open, and the wooden board split into four or five pieces. Four figures appeared in his room in an instant.

  "It's you two!" His face sank, and his voice was hoarse as Ji Changkong growled.

  "Ugly ghost, didn't think so, Miss has been waiting for you in Blackstone City for so long, finally the hard work paid off and I've got you cornered!" Yi Jia said with a cold face, exuding a fierce killing aura.

  Yi Rou, who was standing beside her, also gazed at him with a resentful and bitter expression.

  "Hah!" Extremely angry, Ji Chang suddenly stood up and shouted: "You two, I saved you once in the broken temple, and again outside the mountain valley from those four people. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also harbor hatred in your hearts! I've seen people who don't know what's good for them, but ones like you are truly rare!"

  "Stop pretending! You and those four are in cahoots with each other. You know what you've done!" Yī Jiā Sēn said coldly.

  "What have I done?" Ji Changkong burst into anger, pointing at Yi Jia: "You'd better say it yourself, what have I done? How come I don't know?"

  In order to rescue these two from the clutches of Figure Seven, he risked his life and took them out of danger. Not only did they not show gratitude, but now they have come back to find him. In this world, good people can't win.

  "Cut the nonsense! You know it yourself!" Yi Jia's face was extremely ugly, and she naturally couldn't say in front of Ye Tian and Zhou Fuyun that she suspected Ji Changkong of taking advantage of them while they were unconscious.

  "No matter who you are, if you dare to mess with Xiao Rou and Xiao Jia, then you're an enemy of the Ye family." Ye Tian stepped forward, his face arrogant, and said disdainfully: "Xiao Jia, Xiao Rou, step back. I'll take care of him for you. After we capture him, you can vent your anger on him as much as you want."

  "Master, let me come?" Zhou Fuyun hastily said.

  "No need, I'll go myself." Ye Tian waved his hand, signaling Zhou Fuyun to retreat. His face suddenly turned cold, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply. A chilling wind howled, and Ye Tian's figure moved slightly. Large snowflakes, mixed with a shocking cold air, flew rapidly towards Ji Changkong in front of him.

  Four Symbols of Heaven's Boundary, Ye Tianyi cultivates the power of Holy Beast Xuanwu, Holy Beast Xuanwu, controls the power of cold ice and snow.

  Ye Jia Tian Shi's secret technique "Fei Ye Luo" can condense any power into a flying leaf shape, and the sky is filled with flying leaves that cover the ground and attack without any trajectory. It seems to block all possible escape routes in front of him at once.

  "The Falling Leaves" secret technique, only allowed to be cultivated by the direct descendants of the Ye family. When "The Falling Leaves" is unleashed, leaves fill the sky and drift about, leaving no escape for anyone, ultimately covering them with leaves in various forms of yuan energy. In the major Tian Shi sects of Zhong Tu, the ferocity of "The Falling Leaves" secret technique has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

  "As soon as 'Fei Ye Luo' was unleashed, Yi Jia and Yi Rou were both slightly astonished. They hadn't expected that Ye Tian, who had always been known for his elegant moves, could also use 'Fei Ye Luo'. Moreover, the flying leaves seemed to be falling without any trajectory, appearing very carefree and elusive."

  Zhou Fuyun narrowed his eyes, not daring to be careless for a moment, his gaze tightly fixed on Ji Changkong, always on guard.

  Snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, each one condensed into a flying leaf. The cold wind whistled and howled as it came, making the leaves dance even more eerily in the air. A lone figure stood amidst the swirling snow, brow furrowed and face stern.

  Hehehe! Hehehe!

  He took a deep breath, his chest puffed out into a round bulge, and his face turned bright red, as if he was about to explode at any moment.

  Roar!

  A thunderous roar burst forth from Ji Chang's mouth, like the rumble of nine heavens' thunder, and a massive sound wave suddenly surged out in all directions.

  A piece of fallen leaves, under the thunderous nine heavenly thunders, suddenly burst into pieces, and not a single one could get close to Ji Changkong.

  Like a thunderclap out of nowhere, it suddenly exploded in the room, and with a loud roar, the room could not withstand it, as if it were about to collapse.

  Right in front of him, Ye Tian's face changed slightly, and he hastily shouted: "Xiao Jia, Xiao Rou, get out!"

  At this moment, a thunderous roar came from Ji Changkong, who charged towards Yi Jia and Yi Rou with a furious face. In his eyes, these two women who didn't know what was good for them deserved to be taught a lesson.

  Wow!

  A loud crash, water waves rippled in mid-air, ripples formed, a massive wave crashed towards Ye Tian.

  Ye Tian let out a loud cry, his body shrinking back, and suddenly he transformed into a turtle. A cold gust of wind howled in front of him, barely blocking the first wave.

  Without entangling with Ye Tian, the second wave of attacks went upwards, bypassing Ye Tian who had shrunk back, and violently crashed towards Yi Jia and Yi Rou.

  "You little scamp!" Zhou Fuyun suddenly shouted in a low voice, stomping his foot with force. The floorboards cracked and splintered, flying towards Ji Changkong like wooden swords.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The second heavy wave and the wooden sword collided, the wooden sword turned into wood shavings flying everywhere, but the power of the second heavy wave also disappeared.

  Before the third wave of energy could gather, Ji Changkong's face sank, and he violently used his back to blast open the fractured wall, sending Ye Tian and Zhou Fuyun flying outwards.

  Zhou Fuyun has the cultivation of Wu Xing Tian's boundary, Ye Tian, Yi Jia, and Yi Rou are all in Si Xiang Tian. Outside the hotel, there are several members of the Ye family surrounding him. If he fights alone, relying on the power of Yin Tong, he is not afraid of Zhou Fuyun. However, Yin Tong cannot take care of all sides at once, and if Ye Tian and others intervene halfway, he has no confidence in winning.

  As soon as he left the inn, a person lurking in the corner of the wall suddenly handed him a thin sword, stabbing straight at his back.

  Ji Changkong swiftly retreated, his body twisting like a snake as he nimbly dodged the surprise attack of the slender sword. Suddenly turning around, he leapt onto a large tree and dove down towards the distance like a big bird.

  Not yet fallen, another punch burst out, Tianlei exploded with the sound of nine days of thunder, directly falling to a corner of an earthen wall.

  "Damn it, I've been found out!"

  Two dark shadows, screaming and escaping before the earth wall collapsed, had been lurking for so long, originally planning to ambush when Ji Changkong approached, but did not expect Ji Changkong to suddenly take action, forcing them out one step ahead.

  The two of them fled, and Ji Changkong no longer had any worries. He went all the way forward, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

  "Why didn't you stop him?" Ye Tian and Yi Jia, Yi Rou, Zhou Fuyun and several others arrived at the earthen wall, Ye Tian's face was gloomy, he said in a low voice.

  "Reporting to Young Master, he didn't even land yet and already launched an attack on us. No way, we didn't have any chance of a sneak attack, this person seems to have known we were hiding here all along, his realm is higher than ours, we had no choice but to retreat." A dusty-faced Ye family servant said helplessly.

  "Useless things! I've raised you for so long, and you're of no use at all!" Ye Tian said in a fit of rage.

  "This time he escaped, next time it won't be so easy to surround him again." Yi Jia stamped her foot in annoyance: "So many people working together, and yet he managed to escape so easily, how could this happen?"

  "Young master, this person seems to have really known that we were ambushing here all along. I took a closer look and after he broke through the wall, it seemed like he knew everything about our setup. He avoided Xiao Tang's sneak attack with one sword, and then deliberately lured them out before making his move, every step of the way anticipating the enemy's moves and taking the initiative." Zhou Fuyun said with a furrowed brow, bowing slightly.

  "Get the word out, have those gangs in Blackstone City find someone for me. As long as he's in Blackstone City, don't think about escaping my sight!" Ye Tian gave a cold command to Zhou Fuyun, not taking his words seriously at all.

  Alas, indeed not as good as Ye Lie and Ye Tao. With a sigh in his heart, Zhou Fuyun respectfully said: "I know, young master."
