CHAPTER 1185: CHAPTER 1181: ON THE BRINK!

"I am an old man now, yet I can still enjoy the sudden boost in strength. I always thought my power had reached its limit, but now, it’s as if I’ve returned to the days of my youth, just like when I first practiced the Drop of the Sun!"

"It seems I’m not useless! I can still fight, and battle the powerful enemies of the Black Hole Clan! This regained strength can support my determination in the fight against the Black Hole Clan!"

"I’m not old yet! I’m not old yet! I still have strength! I still have the strength to fight! As expected of the secret medicine of the Heavenly Gate, I feel as if I’ve been given a second life!"

"So powerful! This strength is truly overwhelming! Even us old folks can finally make a difference in battle!"

After all, being old, the Four Elders of the Ye family always present themselves as elders in front of all the martial artists, so at any time, they cannot lose their composure.

But today, due to suddenly gaining immense power, even these four self-restrained elders of the Ye family lost their calm...

The whole mountain hollow was excitedly buzzing due to the effect of the Carefree Pill!

The martial artists’ power surged out, causing the mountain hollow to shake violently...

Ye Tian carefully stored away the remaining Carefree Pills. Although Elder Guo gave him a large amount, these are rare secret medicines, so the remaining ones must be kept well!

"Let’s move out now and wipe out the entire Black Hole Clan!"

"Last time, we suffered defeat at the hands of that woman. This time, if we encounter her again, the outcome will definitely be different! We must avenge ourselves!"

"Besides, that woman? How could just a mere personal guard be our match? This time, I’m afraid even the elders of the Black Hole Clan won’t be our opponents!"

"Fight! If not now, then when? Let’s give it our all and annihilate the Black Hole Clan, saving all the people of the southern city!"

...

The martial artists were full of fighting spirit, implying that everyone was ready to charge out of the mountain hollow and head straight for the southern city.

Just as the martial artists were brimming with excitement, another companion joined them in the hollow, and it was Tian Qi!

Although Tian Qi had some injuries, her complexion was excellent, with a face full of smiles...

All the martial artists, upon seeing Tian Qi, naturally became even more excited than when they saw Ye Xuong!

"Qiqi! Where have you been? We’ve missed you to death!"

"Yeah! Did that wicked woman from the Black Hole Clan hurt you?"

"Now we’ve all become stronger. This time, we must vent this anger for you and for ourselves!"

...

Everyone gathered around Tian Qi, noticing that she seemed more mature and charming than the last time they saw her, and all the martial artists were extremely enthusiastic.

Of course, since no one knew that Tian Qi had spent several years in a stilled space-time, no one could really say what changes had occurred in her...

With such enthusiasm from the martial artists, Ye Tian immediately waved his hands, signaling everyone to step back. Seeing that Tian Qi was covered with injuries, they no longer crowded her and scattered...

"Did you win?" Ye Tian asked seriously.

"Mm." Tian Qi silently nodded, "But one got away."

"That’s alright! After all, the escaping guy has already lost the qualification to fight!"

Ye Tian said openly, unlike their companions, the Black Hole Clan’s martial artists lack the resilience to keep fighting after defeats, so once defeated, they lose their will and play no role in upcoming battles.

Thus, a defeated and escaping martial artist from the Black Hole Clan is really no different from being killed...

Tian Qi’s face, however, did not have the same smile as Ye Tian. She said straightforwardly, "Ye Tian, despite all my efforts in training, I still sense a vast gap between myself and the elders of the Black Hole Clan. Such a huge gap, I wonder when it can be closed. I fear I won’t be effective in the upcoming battles!"

"It’s not like that, Qiqi!"

Seeing Tian Qi’s face full of dejection, Ye Tian hurried to comfort her.

"Please don’t underestimate your own strengths. If it were really the case, how could I let you face the personal guards of two Black Hole Clan elders alone? It’s precisely because I believe in your strength that you were challenged! Qiqi, you’re the most vital part of the upcoming battles!"

Thanks to Ye Tian’s comfort, Tian Qi finally showed a smile again.

"Thank you, Ye Tian!"

Tian Qi expressed her gratitude, and Ye Tian patted Tian Qi’s head, then looked at all the martial artists present!

"Everyone, the reason we’ve been hiding in this mountain hollow is because of our fear of the Black Hole Clan martial artists’ prowess. They’ve got immense power, which terrifies us; not just that, even my dearest wife became one of their resources!

However, even so, we can only endure, as the disparity in strength is vast. Even if we rashly advance into the South City, it would lead to our complete annihilation. Therefore, we must endure hardships and wait for the right moment to counterattack!

Yet now, having obtained the secret medicine like the Carefree Pill, our strength has greatly increased. We no longer fear the might of the Black Hole Clan; we now possess the power to stand on equal footing with the entire Black Hole Clan!

Now, the Black Hole Clan’s plan is about to be set in motion. We are all well aware that this plan would lead to the deaths of countless citizens. We cannot allow the entire South City to be drenched in blood; we must save the unsuspecting citizens of the South City!

So, we must unite as one, prepared to face death unflinchingly! As martial artists, the stronger our power, the greater our responsibility! We must confront the Black Hole Clan head-on; this time, we must save the citizens of the South City from the clutches of the Black Hole Clan and uproot this evil force entirely.

We are doing this not for personal gain but to save all the citizens of the South City, to rescue those kind members of the Black Hole Clan, so they will no longer suffer the persecution of the elders and can live once more under the sun!

Today, our alliance pledges here to stop the evil plans of the Black Hole Clan. For this, we will pay any price because this is the responsibility of martial artists! We must strive for the future of the Martial Arts World!"

Ye Tian rallied loudly, and all the martial artists felt a powerful warlike spirit from his words!

Having suffered greatly at the hands of the Black Hole Clan’s martial artists, everyone was holding onto their anger. Coupled with Ye Tian’s clear voice, the excitement of all reached its peak.

"Destroy the Black Hole Clan!"

"Destroy the Black Hole Clan!"

"Destroy the Black Hole Clan!"

...

The martial artists were stirred up, shouting loudly, their voices echoing throughout the valley.

"I can’t wait to face off against the Black Hole Clan’s people. This time, we will definitely beat them to the ground!"

"Hehehehe~~~~~~ That’s the truth! The elders of the Black Hole Clan probably never expected us to grow this strong!"

"This time, we will surely uproot the entire Black Hole Clan while they are unguarded. At that time, the expressions on the elder’s faces will surely be interesting!"

"These evildoers won’t die a good death! We must not only kill them but also grind their bones to dust!"

...

The emotions of the martial artists were uncontrollable, constantly being vented. Ye Tian knew well that now was the perfect time to act.

"Brothers, now that we are united, there’s no time to delay. Let’s set out for the South City!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful and vigorous voice suddenly rang out from the sky!

"Dare to confront our Black Hole Clan directly, a bunch of ignorant ants!"

Ye Tian was very familiar with this voice. Wasn’t it the voice of Elder Nan Feng?

Ye Tian originally thought he had to reach the South City to have another chance to face off against Elder Nan Feng, but unexpectedly, he appeared right above them.

Ye Tian looked straight into the sky, and the other martial artists followed his gaze...

A white-haired, youthful elder gracefully descended from the sky, naturally none other than Elder Nan Feng, one of the four great elders of the Black Hole Clan.

As Elder Nan Feng slowly descended, all martial artists, without exception, felt an overwhelming force!

This force naturally emanated from within Elder Nan Feng. Now, Elder Nan Feng had no scruples, so he would not restrain his power.

And unleashing his power somewhat intimidated this group of ignorant martial artists...

"What is this force? How can it be so strong? Could this be the power of the Black Hole Clan’s elders?"

"I originally thought that after taking the Carefree Pill, my strength could somewhat contend with the elders, but now it seems there’s still a huge gap!"

"Heavens! This can’t be true! This can’t be true! How can we bridge the gap in power between us and the Black Hole Clan elders?"

"Damn it, will we be wiped out again this time?"

...

After sensing Elder Nan Feng’s overwhelming power, the martial artists were all indignant, their bodies trembling. Even after taking the Carefree Pill, they were still shaken by the power within Elder Nan Feng.

When Elder Nan Feng’s body touched the ground, all the martial artists cleared a path, not daring to face him directly.

Only Ye Tian looked at Elder Nan Feng with composure...

"Elder Nan Feng, we meet again!"
