C727 An Unexpected Situation
In just a few breaths of time, Ye Hongtian arrived at the cave entrance of the Horned City branch. The cave entrance hadn't been repaired yet, so it was exposed.
There were large amounts of rubbing marks on the edge of the cave entrance, and there were also many footprints on the ground. It was obvious that a lot of people had entered and left this place recently.
Just as he was about to jump into the cave, a loud shout came from behind him. A strong man with a long horn in his hand stabbed at him.
Ye Hong Tian didn't sense this man's appearance, which surprised him a little. However, this strong man was only at the seventh level of the True Yuan Realm. Even if he stabbed him with a long horn, he wouldn't be able to cause any injuries.
Just as Ye Hong Tian was about to capture this strong man, a black shadow flashed and brought the strong man to the side.
"Young hero, long time no see."
A familiar voice was heard. Ye Hongtian turned his head and saw the face of the black shadow. A playful smile appeared on his face.
"Brother, we just had a fight. Isn't it a bit too disrespectful for you to save me under my nose?" Ye Hong Tian said indifferently.
This thick browed man had fought with Ye Hong Tian before. Now, this thick browed man was about to break through to the ninth level of true essence. He seemed to have the confidence to fight with Ye Hong Tian again, and his face sank.
"I call you Young Hero because I respect you. Don't force me to fight. My Horn City bloodline is not easy to bully!" The thick browed man shouted.
Ye Hong Tian sneered when he heard that. He put one hand behind his back and reached out his other hand to hook the thick browed man with his other hand. His face was full of provocation.
The thick browed man who thought he could defeat Ye Hong Tian naturally could not resist such provocation. The veins on his forehead were exposed. He said something to the strong man beside him and walked towards Ye Hong Tian.
After taking two steps, the thick browed man started to shoot. He then ran wildly and finally drew a shadow in the air and arrived in front of Ye Hongtian.
"Don't think that just because you won once, you will think that I will always be below you. People will grow!" The thick browed man threw a punch at Ye Hong Tian and shouted.
The punch hit Ye Hong Tian's chest without any hindrance. It hit Ye Hong Tian so easily, which surprised the thick browed man. However, he couldn't help but smile.
"People will grow. That is a good saying. However, I will give it to you."
Ye Hongtian's voice suddenly sounded behind him. His smile froze on his face, and his pupils shrank to the size of pinholes.
He suddenly turned his head and saw that Ye Hongtian, who should have been punched in the chest, had unknowingly appeared behind him and looked at him with a smile.
He turned his head to look at Ye Hongtian, who had been hit by him, and then he found that Ye Hongtian had become illusory, and eventually turned into light particles and dissipated.
"Partial... Partial image!" The thick browed man said with a shocked expression on his face.
At this moment, he had already forgotten to distance himself from Ye Hong Tian. He couldn't help but feel an irresistible feeling.
"Oh? Giving up so quickly? Not fighting anymore?" Ye Hongtian saw that the thick browed man did not continue to attack and asked doubtfully.
Hearing Ye Hongtian's question, the thick browed man looked into Ye Hongtian's eyes and then sighed. He closed his eyes and looked up, saying, "It's up to you if you want to kill or cut."
The thick browed man, who had completely given up on resisting, made Ye Hongtian not interested at all. He couldn't help but click his tongue and then Ye Hongtian walked to the cave entrance of the Horn City.
"Have you caught anyone from the Horn City recently? I have a few friends who are missing. I am looking for them." Ye Hongtian pointed at the entrance of the cave and said.
The thick browed man, who thought Ye Hongtian would kill him, opened his eyes after hearing what Ye Hongtian said. He first bowed to Ye Hongtian to thank him for not killing him. Then, he rubbed his chin and lowered his head to think.
After a while, the thick browed man shook his head and said to Ye Hongtian, "I have been patrolling the outer area of Horn City for three days. I just came back today. Three days ago, when I left, we didn't catch anyone."
"What if it was someone we caught in these three days?" Ye Hongtian narrowed his eyes and asked.
The thick browed man could hear the killing intent in the voice. He couldn't help but gulp, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"This... I don't know about what happened in the past three days. Young Hero, if you don't mind, you can follow me down there to look for them. If they really catch people and bring them back, I will punish them!" The thick browed man said with a serious expression.
After saying that, the thick browed man gave the brawny man beside him a look and then jumped into the hole.0
The brawny man left after receiving the thick eyebrowed man's gaze. Ye Hong Tian did not care about the brawny man and followed the thick eyebrowed man into the hole.
Before he landed, Ye Hongtian heard a scream. He hurriedly used his True Yuan to stabilize his body so that he could stop in the tunnel.
He opened the Eye of Mirror and looked down. Ye Hong Tian saw that the thick browed man had two horns on his back before him, and this giant net had caught him.
"What is going on?" Ye Hongtian frowned and thought.
Just as he was about to leave, a big old man walked out from the side and stood in front of the thick browed man.
When the thick browed man saw the half-old man, he immediately showed an expression of understanding. His face was full of anger. He pulled out the two horns on his back and roared at the sky.
Just as he roared, his body suddenly shook. Then, he fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
"Take him to the cell." The elder said to a strong man behind him.
After getting the order from the old man, he walked out from behind the old man and lifted the giant net, carrying the thick browed man towards the direction he came from.
After everyone left, Ye Hong Tian slowly landed on the ground and carefully avoided a trap that had not been triggered. He then picked up the horn that the thick browed man had pulled out from his back.
Smelling it with his nose, Ye Hong Tian could smell a pungent smell. Upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a faint green water droplet that looked like dew on the horn.
"What's going on? Weren't those people from the Horn City? Why did they kidnap their own people and use poison on them? " Ye Hong Tian murmured in surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, a long horn cut across Ye Hongtian's face, leaving a shallow cut on his face.
And it was not only that. Countless long horns flew towards him from all directions. Ye Hongtian tried to dodge with all his might, but his thigh was still scratched by the long horn, his arm was pierced, and his abdomen was also scratched.
When the long horns stopped flying, Ye Hongtian felt a chill spread out around him, making him frown.
"Who is it? Stop pretending. Do you think I don't know where you are just because you are hiding? "
