Chapter 58 - In Grave Danger (2/2)

Even if it meant being crippled or losing his life, Ye Zhantian would do anything to protect his clan. Otherwise, he dared not face the Ye ancestors in the afterlife.

Without regard for his body, Ye Zhantian continued to release a large amount of Celestial Chi. Arching his back like a wounded tiger, he was prepared to attack Yun Yixuan and Niu Er, who were closing in on him.

“What a stubborn guy, you still won’t give in.” Niu Er looked at Ye Zhantian. “I’ve never had a difficult time killing anyone in battle. Then again, I’ve seen many who won’t quit. In the end, they all died by the hands of my flail just the same. Let’s see if you can afford to take another hit!” He slammed his flail once more.

Ye Changxuan and Ye Chen were now sprinting toward the Ye Castle. The sound of the alarm that rang from afar came from the castle. They were restless.

“Little Chen, that’s the castle’s alarm!” Ye Changxuan called out.

Ye Chen was horrified. That was the sound used to alert the clan of the enemy’s presence. The Ye Castle must be under an attack!

The two did not say much. Woosh woosh. They both increased their speed to the maximum and set out at full force.

Ye Chen felt a streak of terror. His father was the only rank nine combatant in the castle. Before Yun Yixuan had departed, Ye Changxuan mentioned a man by the name of Niu Er who happened to be a rank nine combatant too. If the enemy had two rank nine combatants or more, then the clan would be in grave danger. Ye Chen would not have expected that the Yun Clan would amass a huge crowd to attack the Ye Castle so quickly. He thought they would have taken a day or two at the very least but he was wrong.

The distance to the Ye Castle was not far. If they kept this up, they would be there in an hour. They hoped that the clan could hold on till then! Ye Chen grew increasingly restless.

Just as the two darted for their destination, three figures emerged from the surrounding trees and went directly for the two.

Ye Chen scanned the figures with his Astral Body and shouted, “Grandpa, those three are rank nine combatants the Yun Clan has left behind to stop us!” How did Yun Yiyang manage to gather so much help?

“Go on. Leave them to me. Once I’m done with them, I’ll head back!” Ye Changxuan instructed. He mustered his breath, channeled the Thunder Emperor Discourse, and sprung toward the three rank nine combatants.

Ye Chen paused. His grandpa should have no problems dealing with three low rank nine combatants. Only, it was difficult to tell who would emerge the victor half an hour later. Regardless, Ye Chen was sure his grandpa would be fine.

“Watch yourself, grandpa! I’m going now!” He gathered himself up and dashed toward the castle at full speed once more.

The Yun Clan sent three rank nine combatants to stop them in their tracks. Ye Chen wondered just how many more combatants were there and how was the castle faring? Up ahead, the Ye Castle was within his view.

It was a mess in the castle. Ten bodies sprawled on the ground motionless, many of the clan members were hurt, and there were two death counts on the Yun Clan’s side.

Under the pressure from two rank nine combatants, Ye Zhantian came close to exhausting his Celestial Chi. He was on the brink of death. He could hear his men’s cries of anguish. Was this the end of the Ye Clan?

Ye Zhantian took another breath, gathered his remaining Celestial Chi in his right hand, and thrust toward Yun Yixuan. Bam!.

Yun Yixuan took another beating and staggered again. Thank god Ye Zhantian was already worn out, otherwise, he would have taken another beating. Yun Yixuan was furious. “You animal! Let’s see how long you can go on!”

“Leave it to me. He’s close to kicking the bucket. You go handle the rest.” Niu Er flashed a terrifying smile.

Following that strike that Ye Zhantian had delivered, Ye Zhantian could feel the last of his Celestial Chi. He struggled to keep himself on both feet, his vision blurring. Niu Er was closing in on him but it was pointless to even retaliate.

“Farewell, my men. I, Ye Zhantian must go now.” He coughed. There was blood in it.
