C2242 Fatigue in Acting
At present, it was basically certain that this team belonged to Jun Tianyao's personal team, but with a cultivation base of the ninth level of the Awakening Realm, the martial artist with this cultivation base would not be able to catch him.
As he already knew what the talisman in the hands of the Jun Family martial artist was used for, Ye Hongtian felt as if he had been locked onto after the other party lit the talisman.
When the other party turned his head to look, Ye Hongtian used spatial teleportation to arrive in front of the person. In the next second, he disappeared along with the person on the street, and no one noticed him.
In a very deep alley, Ye Hongtian came with the Jun Family warrior. He stared at the Jun Family warrior like he was looking at a dead man. The Jun Family warrior was completely covered by his aura.
Although Ye Hongtian's qi was only at the ninth level of the Awakening Realm, the pressure generated by the killing intent and his own power was very strong. It made the Jun Family martial artist, who was also at the ninth level of the Awakening Realm, breathless.
The Jun Family martial artist's eyes were filled with panic. His legs went limp and he sat on the ground. Not far away, he used his legs to step back until his back touched the cold wall.
The cold touch behind him seemed to remind the Jun Family martial artist that this was not a dream. It made the Jun Family martial artist's expression and actions immediately become exaggerated.
A man who was half a head taller than Ye Hong Tian just lied beside Ye Hong Tian's feet like this and hugged Ye Hong Tian's feet with force. Tears streamed down his face. Zongheng shouted, "Don't kill me! I was only following Senior Brother Tian Yao's orders to look for you. I didn't want to harm your life! I was wrong! I apologize, let me go!"
Good fellow! He directly revealed the person behind him!
Ye Hong Tian thought so in his heart. He lifted his leg and swung it forcefully, sending the person flying. He heavily smashed onto the wall at the side.
This swing didn't use too much strength. At most, it would make this martial artist cough up a few mouthfuls of blood. But this Jun Family martial artist's performance was abnormally exaggerated. As he fell to the ground, he began to convulse.
The spasms didn't seem to be fake. Ye Hongtian leaned a little closer. He wanted to see what this person was up to. Although Ye Hong Tian still maintained a vigilant state at this time, but this should be considered a relatively relaxed moment.
And at this moment, the Jun Family martial artist on the ground who originally looked like he was afraid of death took out a short dagger from somewhere and directly stabbed towards Ye Hong Tian's neck. This strike wanted to be fatal!
Unfortunately, the timing was still not grasped. This short dagger stopped when it was less than an inch away from Ye Hong Tian's neck.
Ye Hong Tian used two fingers to tightly clamp the short dagger, and prevented it from advancing any further. Moreover, the cultivation of this martial artist of the ninth level of the Jun Family in front of him had also become at the late stage of the semi-sage realm at this moment!
"You've hidden it quite well. It's worthy of praise. You might have had a chance to stab this short dagger into my neck if it wasn't for your exaggerated acting skills!" Ye Hong Tian broke the dagger and sneered.
This Jun Family martial artist wasn't a fool. Seeing that his attack didn't succeed, he immediately let go of the dagger and pushed it away. The alley was too small, so he couldn't pull too far away. He looked at Ye Hongtian vigilantly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He had once observed Ye Hongtian from afar for a period of time. Before today, he still felt that if he attacked, he should be able to fight Ye Hong Tian to a draw. If he attacked Ye Hong Tian without any preparation, then... He was confident that he could kill Ye Hongtian.
However, when he received Jun Tianyao's order to assassinate Ye Hongtian, he discovered that no matter what Ye Hongtian was doing, his body was full of flaws, and no one could find an opportunity.
It was precisely because of this that he chose to expose his uniqueness from the beginning, and then conceal his cultivation to catch Ye Hongtian unprepared.
"You are indeed very strong! I am not as strong as you, but you also can't easily defeat me! As long as I hold you back, the nearby Sages will come and capture you alive in no time. I'm sure that will be a good ending!" The Jun Family warrior said as he prepared himself for battle.
Ye Hongtian was stunned when he heard that. Then, he recovered his previous sneer and approached the Jun Family martial artist step by step.
An even greater pressure was applied to the body of the Jun Family's expert as Ye Hong Tian got closer. He was in the late stage of the semi-sage realm. However, he couldn't even breathe under the pressure of Ye Hong Tian, who was in the ninth level of the Awakening Realm.
The Jun Family warrior felt as if a huge mountain was crashing toward him when he saw Ye Hong Tian raise his hand to slap him. He couldn't dodge it at all!
Bang!
This palm hit his shoulder. When he came back to his senses, his body had already been slapped into the ground. Only his head was still exposed.
Cold sweat kept emerging from the body of this Jun Family martial artist. He looked at Ye Hong Tian in fear. He thought of the bounty issued by all the major forces. He swallowed and couldn't help but ask: "You... You really reached the sage realm with the cultivation of the Awakening Realm?"
"Who knows? I haven't fought with the sage realm. Even I don't know what my limit is."
Ye Hong Tian placed his hand on the head of the Jun Family's warrior after he answered. Several types of power of principles surged out of his palm, and minced the head of the Jun Family's warrior into mush.
The Jun Family's expert only rolled his eyes on the surface. This method wasn't very superb. It could be done even if there was a certain understanding of the principles.
As he walked out of the alley, the Jun Family martial artists outside were still busy searching for traces of him. They didn't know that their captain had already been killed by Ye Hongtian.1
Ye Hong Tian passed by a Jun Family warrior just like that. However, the latter didn't discover him. This also allowed Ye Hong Tian to confirm that only the Jun Family warrior at the late stage of the semi-sage realm had the talisman paper to find his location.
The seal of the city continued for three days. In these three days, teams kept entering East Star City. The Jun Family, the Heavenly Fire Family, the Lan Family, the Yu Family, the Blood Evil Family, and so on. Ye Hong Tian had already recognized five families. Some small sects were also involved, but they were only responsible for searching.
Without Jun Tianyao's help, it was almost impossible for these people to find him. He used the Restraining Breath to change his appearance every day. Sometimes, he knocked out passers-by and turned them into passers-by. He walked on the street for a while.
Today was the day to remove the seal on the city. However, Ye Hongtian did not plan to leave Eastern Star City because in a few days, there would be a group of Red Province martial artists docked there. It was said that there were Bai Family members inside!
There had been a big movement in Central State recently. It was very likely that the Bai Family of the Red State would join in. Two geniuses of the younger generation of the Bai Family, one was killed by Ye Hong Tian. The other's leg was cut off by Ye Hong Tian, even though it could recover, his foundation must have been damaged.
"I wonder who the Bai Clan sent to the Central Prefecture is? Hehe."
