TL: Etude
"They're here!" Ye Tian noticed figures sprinting toward him from a distance. They were elite warriors from the Mo family. After killing a regular warrior from the Mo family, he stood in place, waiting for the arrival of their elite warriors.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The first batch of four elite warriors arrived, all of them in the early stages of being elite warriors.
"Kill!"
Without a word, the four Mo family elite warriors launched their attack.
"Shadow Kill!"
A flash of blade light swept by, and the heads of the four elite warriors were neatly severed. Their bodies lay orderly on the ground.
It didn't take long for the rest of the Mo family's elite warriors and numerous other warriors to arrive. When they saw the corpses on the ground, especially those of the four elite warriors, they were dumbfounded.
"Who are you?"
Mo Changsheng also arrived, his face serious and tinged with fear. He was only an early-stage elite warrior himself, not much different in strength from the four who had just died. Naturally, he was no match for Ye Tian.
Without a word, Ye Tian charged toward the numerous Mo family warriors. He didn't want to waste time; if the Mo family members managed to escape, that wouldn't be the outcome he desired. His goal was to kill the Mo family's higher-ups as quickly as possible.
"Surround him!" Mo Changsheng ordered.
About a dozen elite warriors from the Mo family tried to stop Ye Tian. However, Ye Tian was too fast and too strong for them to handle.
Thud, thud, thud!
One by one, the elite warriors were instantly killed by Ye Tian. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen elite warriors were dead. As for the regular warriors, they didn't even have the luxury to run away as Ye Tian's blade aura swept across the field, killing them in droves.
At this point, the Mo family had turned into a living hell.
"Devil!" Mo Changsheng was terrified.
He ran, heading toward where Mo Changqing was.
"Father, save me!" Mo Changsheng screamed for help.
However, he was too slow compared to Ye Tian.
In a matter of seconds, Ye Tian leapt over several buildings and caught up with Mo Changsheng.
"Stop!"
A voice filled with urgency came from deep within the Mo family residence. It was Mo Changqing.
"Die!"
From a distance of about ten meters, Ye Tian's "Shadow Kill" cleaved through the air.
In a flash, the air within a radius of several tens of meters froze, and so did Mo Changsheng. He was motionless.
The next moment, Mo Changsheng's body was split in half and fell to the ground. He was clearly dead beyond any doubt.
"My son!"
Mo Changqing witnessed Mo Changsheng's death and went mad.
"I'll kill you!"
Mo Changqing used a secret technique, enveloping himself in a mist of blood. His skin began to wither, but his aura grew stronger.
Originally, Mo Changqing had a strength of 150,000 jin, but after using the secret technique, his strength doubled to 300,000 jin, and his speed also increased significantly.
Boom!
An enraged Mo Changqing threw a punch, and his elemental force transformed into a giant fist that seemed to freeze the void.
The force of this punch was amplified by elemental force to a level of 600,000 jin. For an early-stage grand warrior, this punch was very powerful and could severely injure an ordinary early-stage grand warrior.
However, Ye Tian's attack power exceeded 600,000 jin.
"Shadow Kill!"
A dazzling blade met Mo Changqing's punch.
Boom!
The air exploded, sending shockwaves in all directions. Buildings were shattered, and even some ordinary people and warriors from the Mo family were killed by the impact. This was a head-on collision at the level of grand warriors, not something ordinary people could withstand.
Thud, thud, thud!
Ye Tian took a few steps back, his face calm, while Mo Changqing was sent flying by the slash, a knife mark appearing on his chest. Mo Changqing was injured, and the injury was not light.
"A Grand Warrior? Impossible. There are no Grand Warriors skilled in blade techniques in the Linhai Base. Who are you?" Mo Changqing was filled with fear.
"Grand Warrior?" Ye Tian sneered.
Clearly, Mo Changqing had mistaken him for a Grand Warrior. In reality, Ye Tian did resemble a Grand Warrior in terms of strength and was only slightly lacking in speed. Mo Changqing hadn't observed carefully with his spiritual power, so the mistake was understandable.
Ye Tian didn't answer Mo Changqing and continued his attack. The speed of his "Shadow Kill," a bronze-level blade technique, was too fast for even Mo Changqing to defend against. Coupled with his inferior attack power, Mo Changqing's only advantages over Ye Tian were speed and combat experience. However, these advantages were meaningless in the face of the huge gap in strength.
Suddenly, one of Mo Changqing's arms was severed by Ye Tian. Mo Changqing was severely injured.
"Not good, I'm no match for him. I must escape!" Mo Changqing thought of retreating.
Dragging his injured body, Mo Changqing ran toward the Lin family's location, the only place in the entire Linhai Base that could possibly protect him. Whether the Lin family would actually save him was another matter.
Ye Tian continued to chase him but was significantly slower and couldn't catch up. Just as Ye Tian was about to give up, Mo Changqing's speed suddenly dropped significantly.
"His secret technique must have worn off," Ye Tian thought.
Mo Changqing's speed was actually much weaker than his own; he had only managed to keep up due to his secret technique. Now that the technique had worn off, Mo Changqing was like a fish on a chopping board, ready for Ye Tian to slaughter.
In no time, Ye Tian finally caught up with Mo Changqing.
"Please, spare me!" Mo Changqing fell to his knees, begging for mercy.
"Die!" Ye Tian slashed without hesitation.
However, just as Mo Changqing was about to be killed, an iron ball appeared in his hand. The ball split open, and countless steel needles shot out, some of them aimed at Ye Tian. Due to the high speed of the needles and his close proximity to Mo Changqing, Ye Tian, who was only an early-stage elite warrior, was a bit slow to react. He only had time to activate his elemental shield.
Incredibly, the steel needles broke through the elemental shield and pierced Ye Tian's body.
"What a powerful hidden weapon!" Ye Tian was shocked.
Although the hidden weapon was strong and had pierced through his body, damaging his internal organs, his top-tier healing ability stabilized his injuries in an instant and began healing at an incredible speed.
By this time, Mo Changqing was already dead, killed by Ye Tian's blade, and his body was also pierced by many steel needles. The iron ball in his hand had completely split open, revealing complex machinery made of an unknown metal.
"It must be a one-time-use hidden weapon. I wonder where Mo Changqing got it from. This kind of weapon shoots in all directions, even putting the user within its range. No wonder Mo Changqing didn't use it; it's clearly a weapon of mutual destruction," Ye Tian thought.
Fortunately, he had top-tier healing abilities; otherwise, he would have died due to his carelessness.
"Never underestimate a Grand Warrior; every Grand Warrior has their own trump card," Ye Tian mused.
He searched Mo Changqing's body and found only a gold card. Mo Changqing's assets were probably all in the Mo family. But going there now was not appropriate. Although almost all of the Mo family's higher-ups were dead, the commotion had already attracted the attention of many people in the Linhai Base. Perhaps the Mo family residence was already surrounded by onlookers.
"Time to go home," Ye Tian decided.
His sister, Ye Yu, was alone at home, and he would feel more at ease if he returned sooner.
