Chapter 182 Assassination
Ye Tian's Xuan Tian Yin Yang True Scripture operated automatically within his body. Initially, there were no abnormalities. His internal energy flowed slowly along the usual path, repairing the enormous consumption of the day.
But gradually, as his mind became completely calm, something strange happened.
The medicinal essence of the herbs and plants that had accumulated around the clinic for countless years seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, converging towards his bedside in wisps.
It is not a torrential downpour, but a gentle spring breeze and a flowing river into the sea, silent yet unwavering.
Ye Tian's internal energy, as if parched land receiving rain, involuntarily accelerated its circulation, actively absorbing and refining the gathering spiritual energy from the plants and trees.
Within his dantian, the invisible shackles that had always existed since he began cultivating the Profound Heaven Yin Yang True Scripture emitted a change that only he could perceive, under the subtle resonance of the internal and external energies.
"Click."
Like ice cracking for the first time, or a new bud breaking through the soil.
A warm current, far purer and more profound than ever before, surged forth from the depths of Ye Tianqi's sea of consciousness, instantly flowing through his limbs and bones.
Wherever it goes, fatigue disappears.
The discomfort caused by the excessive consumption of vital energy during the rescue melted away like snow meeting the morning sun, and his senses suddenly became more acute than ever before.
Three hours later, Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light before returning to calm.
"I've broken through!"
Ye Tian felt his internal energy surging several times stronger and becoming much more responsive to his every command, and he was overjoyed.
Now, even if he uses the Reversal Yin-Yang Soul-Returning Needle to save seventeen people at the same time, he can handle it with ease!
Just then, an unusual sound from outside made Ye Tian's expression tighten.
"Are people already getting restless?"
As Ye Tian finished speaking, his earlobe twitched almost imperceptibly.
This is not an illusion.
Rather, it was the evolution of his senses after the breakthrough that made the world clearer to him on more than one level.
The rustling of leaves in the night breeze outside the window, the echo of water dripping from the old well in the corner of the courtyard, and even the faint sound of wheels on the street hundreds of meters away were all clearly audible.
The sound came from outside the backyard wall of the clinic.
Direction: Northeast, approximately eighty paces.
They were two deliberately suppressed breaths, slow and drawn out, carrying a patience far beyond that of ordinary people.
Between breaths, there was the sickening click of some kind of metal mechanism being wound up.
Ye Tian curled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth and continued to lie on the bed with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.
But in his mind, he was silently calculating the time.
"call out!"
In an instant, two sharp, cold-eyed whistling sounds shot out from the northeast wall!
Those weren't bullets, but they were far more cunning and insidious than bullets.
They were two short alloy crossbow bolts with a matte finish, triangularly bladed arrowheads, and blood grooves!
They tore through the night wind, without making a loud whistling sound, but they locked Ye Tian's head and heart in the bed.
The trajectory was ruthless and precise, clearly the work of a professional assassin!
The crossbow bolts are extremely fast, reaching their targets almost before the sound of them piercing the air reaches an ordinary person's ears!
However, in Ye Tian's enhanced perception, the two crossbow bolts moved as slowly as if they were swimming in water.
Just as the crossbow bolt was about to reach Ye Tian's body...
Ye Tian opened his eyes.
Centered on his body, an invisible yet incredibly powerful wave of energy exploded outwards!
The shockwave was not a gale, but it had a more substantial impact than a gale.
The air seemed to turn into a viscous gel, then instantly ignited and expanded.
"Pfft! Pfft!" Two muffled sounds.
The two alloy crossbow bolts, powerful enough to pierce steel plates, suddenly stopped three feet in mid-air, just before Ye Tian's body.
Immediately, countless fine cracks appeared on the arrow shaft, as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
The next moment, the two meticulously crafted killing weapons shattered silently in mid-air.
It turned into a fine powder that shimmered with a cold metallic light and fell down in a flurry!
"What?"
Two people wearing night-vision goggles on the wall let out two suppressed, horrified gasps, their voices filled with disbelief and terror.
They are top-tier assassins who kill without hesitation and possess exceptional mental fortitude.
But what they were seeing was completely beyond their comprehension.
Internal energy? External release of protective energy?
How could such an unbelievable thing exist in this world?
After a brief period of shock, came an even more frenzied counterattack.
The assassination failed; the only option left was to fight to the death!
"Swish! Swish!"
Two dark figures leaped down from the wall like owls, landing silently.
On the left and right, they had switched to short blades, each a foot long, with a cold, eerie blue light emanating from their edges, clearly coated with deadly poison.
One person attacked, thrusting a short blade straight at Ye Tian's throat; the move was ruthless.
The other man crouched low and swiftly advanced, slashing horizontally at Ye Tian's waist and abdomen, blocking all his space to get up and dodge.
The two worked together seamlessly, their killing intent palpable, instantly turning the small room into a death trap!
Faced with this deadly situation of being attacked from both above and below, Ye Tian still did not get up.
He didn't even turn around to look at the cold, gleaming blade coming from outside.
He simply sat there, raised his right hand, and casually waved his index and middle fingers, which were joined together like a sword, towards the empty space in front of him.
The movement was light and casual, like brushing off a speck of dust from a table.
This swing, however, brought forth a domineering gust of wind.
It wasn't the wind in nature, but rather a sharp and domineering gust of wind formed by the powerful internal energy within him drawing in the surrounding air!
The moment the gust of wind left their bodies, the two assassins felt an indescribable, immense force crashing into them.
It felt like being struck in the chest by an invisible, massive hammer!
Their momentum came to an abrupt halt, as if they had crashed into an impenetrable wall.
"Snap!"
A series of crisp cracking sounds rang out, and not just in one place!
The two men's ribs shattered instantly under the impact of that domineering and terrifying force!
Blood and foam spurted from their mouths and noses at the same time, and their bodies flew backward like two rag dolls hit head-on by a speeding truck, even faster than when they came!
"Bang! Bang!"
Two muffled thuds followed as two bodies slammed heavily onto the bluestone slab beneath the courtyard wall, a dozen meters away, creating two deep, human-shaped craters, shattering the slab completely.
The two assassins were like two piles of mud, their chests sunken, their eyes unfocused, and their short blades had long since flown out of their hands and were deeply embedded in the ground not far away.
From the crossbow attack to the assassin's death, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
Ye Tian stood up and walked towards the two assassins who were barely breathing, preparing to search for clues on them.
He wanted to know who had sent assassins to kill him on his very first night in Diancheng.
However, he had only walked halfway when, without warning, several blinding beams of light suddenly shone outside the courtyard gate.
It wasn't a car headlight, but a professional high-intensity tactical flashlight. The beam of light cleaved through the night like a sharp sword, illuminating the entire backyard as bright as day.
Immediately afterwards, a steady and rapid series of footsteps sounded.
More than ten men dressed in black suits, with burly figures and sharp eyes, quickly poured into the courtyard.
They appeared to be standing casually, but they subtly blocked all the exits, clearly indicating that they were well-trained.
"Mr. Ye, you have truly surprised me!"
Under the protection of these bodyguards, a melodious female voice rang out and quickly entered Ye Tian's field of vision.
