Chapter 1165: Chapter 1161: Escape!

“You can still use such techniques?”

Elder Nan Feng felt increasingly surprised; even with half a life left, Ye Tian still managed to resist so strongly, which was beyond his expectations!

However, no matter how severely injured Ye Tian was, Elder Nan Feng could not afford to let his guard down. He knew very well that even if Ye Tian was wounded, the power of the Life Weapon in his hand wouldn’t weaken. If he was struck by the force of the blade, he would still suffer serious injuries.

Therefore, Elder Nan Feng resorted to his specialty, Hard Qigong!

His body was inherently extremely tough, and even without using the Power of Death, he could withstand the attacks from Ye Tian’s Life Weapon. After using the Power of Death to reinforce his bones, his defenses were on a completely different level.

The mere attacks from a Life Weapon were trivial to Elder Nan Feng!

“Swish!”

Elder Nan Feng turned defense into offense, not blocking the overwhelming blade shadows, but rather extending his arm directly.

The blade shadows of “Overspeed Blade” disappeared entirely due to Elder Nan Feng’s attack, and his hand reached toward Ye Tian once more.

At the critical moment, Ye Tian’s wrist shook, and the wooden sword in his hand flew out.

“Have you abandoned your Life Weapon? Are you giving up?”

Elder Nan Feng chuckled coldly; without the Life Weapon to guard, Ye Tian would be powerless to resist his attacks.

Thus, Elder Nan Feng’s fist lunged toward Ye Tian, while Ye Tian’s lips curled slightly. Suddenly, Elder Nan Feng heard a “swish swish swish swish~~~~~” sound coming from behind.

In a panic, Elder Nan Feng immediately turned his head, only to see the wooden sword, which had flown out, reversing direction mid-air, striking toward the back of his neck.

The back of the neck is a vulnerable spot on the human body, and even for a Martial Artist who has mastered Hard Qigong, it’s relatively softer at this location. Ye Tian had aimed for this chance, hoping to find victory in danger.

“Don’t make me laugh, do you really think I’ll fear your attack?”

Elder Nan Feng shouted, then concentrated his force on the surface of his body, which turned as rigid as black iron.

“Boom!”

The wooden sword arrived right on time, hitting Elder Nan Feng’s critical spot on the neck. Unfortunately, due to Elder Nan Feng’s incredibly tough body, how could such a mere Life Weapon penetrate his skin and flesh?

Upon impact, the wooden sword was deflected away…

Though the wooden sword failed to defeat Elder Nan Feng, Ye Tian’s offensive didn’t cease. He fiercely chopped out with his left palm, concealing a tremendous force within.

“Ye Tian, is this your final attack?”

Faced with this ferocious attack, Elder Nan Feng showed no signs of retreat. Since he had just used Hard Qigong to fend off the Life Weapon attack, he could naturally use it again to block Ye Tian’s palm.

If Ye Tian’s palm strike failed, then in his exhausted state, Ye Tian would be unable to muster another attack, leading to his inevitable defeat!

“Swish!”

Nevertheless, Ye Tian paid no mind to Elder Nan Feng’s preparedness. His left palm chopped down swiftly, arriving at Elder Nan Feng’s face.

At that moment, Ye Tian’s hand froze!

“Sun Palm!!”

Ye Tian shouted loudly and then closed his eyes. Suddenly, a dazzling brilliance burst forth from his palm, like a small sun.

“This is…”

Elder Nan Feng hadn’t anticipated Ye Tian deploying such a move. He opened his eyes wide to see Ye Tian’s technique, but in doing so, his eyes absorbed all the light emitted from Ye Tian’s palm.

His eyes suddenly ached, rendering him blind…

“Swish!”

Unable to see, Elder Nan Feng had to rely on hearing. He clearly knew Ye Tian was seizing the opportunity to escape while he was blinded…

“Don’t even think about running!?”

Elder Nan Feng shouted, attempting to pursue based on instincts, but due to his powerful Hard Qigong, his bones and muscles stiffened, unable to move, almost causing him to fall.

In this way, Elder Nan Feng could neither continue the pursuit nor could he move, leaving him standing in place, waiting for his vision to recover, while also calming the force within, to remove the stiffness from his body.

After a good while, Elder Nan Feng could see again, but by then, where was Ye Tian’s trace?

On the other hand, at this moment, Ye Tian had already escaped from the region of Xiangshan and was heading straight for the southern city.

The saying goes that the most dangerous place is the safest place, so Ye Tian did not flee northward but instead went in the opposite direction and headed south.

The southern city is the territory of the Black Hole Clan, heavily guarded, so after being injured, the Black Hole Clan’s upper echelons would never imagine he would escape to the southern city…

Of course, the place Ye Tian was heading to could not possibly be the new city of the southern city because the new city was built by the Black Hole Clan with their advanced technology and was heavily monitored. If he went to the new city, he would undoubtedly be restricted in his movements.

Therefore, Ye Tian went directly to the old city of the southern city. For the Black Hole Clan, the old city is an area they have selectively abandoned…

After all, the area of the southern city is too vast; even with the capabilities of the Black Hole Clan, they could not transform the tens of square kilometers of the old city and integrate their technology, so the old city of the southern city is no different from before the Black Hole Clan’s transformation.

For the Black Hole Clan, as long as enough people live in the old city and they can ensure their plans are implemented, that is sufficient!

“Cough, cough… cough, cough…”

Ye Tian was fleeing while coughing up blood, and the battle with Elder Nan Feng had taken a significant toll on him.

Of course, the most severe injury was not the broken ribs or the damaged meridians and internal organs, but Ye Tian’s right arm.

In the direct confrontation with Elder Nan Feng’s palm, due to the vast disparity in their strength, Elder Nan Feng’s Power of Death injected into Ye Tian’s right arm without obstruction, shattering the meridians in his right arm.

Ye Tian’s entire right arm had lost sensation, let alone being able to move or be used for fighting. If not treated promptly, it might even endanger his life!

This is also why Ye Tian ultimately gave up continuing to fight with Elder Nan Feng, because he had no chance of winning, and the only outcome of prolonging the battle would be his own horrific death on the spot…

Therefore, Ye Tian seized the opportunity created by Elder Nan Feng’s rigid thinking, using the Sun Palm he had secretly learned from the Ye Clan Elders!

Ye Tian did not use the Power of Light of the Ye Clan, so the power of the Sun Palm was naturally not as strong as that of the Ye Clan Elders. However, it was enough to blind Elder Nan Feng temporarily, giving Ye Tian the chance to escape, which was his goal.

Taking advantage of Elder Nan Feng’s temporary blindness, Ye Tian immediately fled the scene. His Qinggong was extraordinary, and he quickly reached the old city district of the southern city.

The buildings in the old city were quite dilapidated, and Ye Tian found the most rundown houses in the old city.

These houses were already dangerous and few people lived in them. Before entering, Ye Tian deliberately used his clairvoyant ability to observe, and only after confirming that one of the rooms was unoccupied did he enter it.

The house had no furniture or objects, and even the roof was somewhat damaged, but for Ye Tian in his current state, it was an excellent place for healing.

Ye Tian found a corner, sat cross-legged, and began meditating to channel his energy…

Although his body was strong, the injuries were extremely painful for Ye Tian. The right arm’s meridians were shattered, several ribs were broken, and internal organ damage made it impossible for Ye Tian to immediately treat himself.

So, Ye Tian had to restore his energy first!

“Cough, cough…”

Even while meditating, Ye Tian couldn’t stop coughing, and each cough made him spit blood painfully.

Because of this, Ye Tian’s meditation and energy channeling time was much longer than usual!

On a normal day, Ye Tian would only need an hour or two of energy channeling to recover more than 50% of his injuries. But this time, it took Ye Tian a whole half-day!

Fortunately, the Black Hole Clan had not anticipated that Ye Tian would hide in the southern city’s region, so no one disturbed him during his meditation and energy channeling…

As time passed second by second, Ye Tian took more than ten hours to restore 30% of his energy, which was already enough!

Ye Tian was skilled in medicine, and with this 30% energy restoration, it was enough for him to treat his injuries!

So, Ye Tian immediately took out the silver needles he always carried with him, then removed the clothes he was wearing, baring his upper body.

One needle, two needles, three needles…

Ye Tian meticulously pierced each silver needle into the acupuncture points throughout his body. This required a very delicate ability, because even the slightest mistake in the acupuncture points would result in vastly different treatment outcomes, so Ye Tian dared not be careless.

More importantly, Ye Tian’s usual right hand could not be used now, and he could only use his left hand to apply the needles, so the time spent was naturally much more than when using his right hand!

Just applying the needles took Ye Tian an hour…

With his body full of acupuncture points pierced by silver needles, Ye Tian resembled a porcupine. Only then could Ye Tian start unblocking his meridians.

But before that, Ye Tian had to reconnect the broken ribs!

Ye Tian gritted his teeth, using his left hand to set the bones with a strong force. The few broken ribs were quickly reconnected!

However, forcibly setting the bones brought undeniable pain to his body. Ye Tian felt a piercing and excruciating sensation all over, nearly causing him to faint…
