"Ye Tian, weren't you acting all arrogant just a mont ago? And now? Do you still think you have the right to be arrogant?"
The man was clearly pleased with himself. At that mont, Ye Tian replied, "Is that so? You think you're invincible just because you got a slight advantage?"
To be fair, the opponent was indeed incredibly powerful now—so much so that it was almost unbelievable. However, the faster Ye Tian burned through his power now, the quicker his strength would diminish afterward.
As the saying goes, "Extres beget their opposites." Ye Tian saw no reason to face him head-on at this point. Instead, he chose to swiftly dodge the opponent's attacks.
"What?"
Ye Tian looked at him and said, "What's wrong? Sure, your strength has increased a lot, but do you really think you're a match for in your current state?"
"You?"
"Hmph. You probably think I'm stalling, don't you? Well, let tell you—everything I'm doing now is precisely that: buying ti. I know you must've taken so kind of pill, and that's the only reason you're in this state. I'm simply responding accordingly."
Ye Tian laid his thoughts out plainly, and the Jade Emperor never expected him to speak so bluntly—as if he were nothing more than a clown, a fool.
"Aren't you afraid that by revealing your true intentions, I'll prepare a counterasure?"
"You won't. Because right now, your body has already absorbed the pill's power, and that dicine is corroding your soul. No matter how much you want to brace yourself, you simply can't anymore!"
"You're underestimating ! Thunderforce!"
He attacked swiftly, unleashing Thunderforce—a fierce, overwhelming power that rained down on Ye Tian like a storm.
"Hmph. Your Thunderforce may be strong, but let tell you sothing—I have it too!"
Ye Tian responded with his own Thunderforce, and shockingly, his was even more powerful. At that mont, the Jade Emperor began to feel uneasy.
"How... how can you also wield it?"
Of course Ye Tian could. How could he not? At that mont, he channeled all his strength into his right hand, which crackled with a wild surge of thunderous energy—far more powerful than his opponent's.
Boom!
With a deafening blast, the enemy was sent flying. The Jade Emperor hadn't expected Ye Tian to be capable of unleashing such force.
"You... how—?"
"Hmph. Surprised that my power has reached this level? Earlier, I was avoiding your attacks not because I was scared, but because I was waiting for the right opportunity. Now that I've found it—you're no longer a match for !"
"No! That's impossible! How can I be losing so quickly?"
He couldn't accept it. He charged forward recklessly, summoning every ounce of strength in an attempt to crush Ye Tian in one blow.
"You're far too arrogant—and arrogance cos with a heavy price!"
Every ti he unleashed his full strength, Ye Tian didn't even bother countering. He knew the opponent was still strong, and a direct clash might not go in his favor.
That's why the best tactic was to remain agile and strike only at key monts. That was the optimal strategy now.
"Co on, then!"
Ye Tian evaded once again. The man glared at him and growled, "Ye Tian, you coward! You're despicable—such a shaless trickster! I'll defeat you today no matter what!"
"Really? You said you'd beat today? Then go ahead—co at ! I'd love to see exactly how you plan on doing that."
Ye Tian wasn't the least bit worried. This wasn't the first ti he'd heard such threats. Instead of fear, he looked at his opponent with mockery in his eyes.
Bang!
Another punch ca flying toward him, even stronger than before. But Ye Tian only laughed. "Is that so? Looks like your strength has spiked again. But I can see it now—you're just a dying arrow at the end of its flight. You're no longer a threat to ."
"A dying arrow, am I? Let's see about that!"
If he dodged again, it would be pointless. So this ti, Ye Tian decided not to avoid it. If the blow was coming, then so be it—let's see what this man could really do.
Ye Tian t the punch head-on, using all his might. The Jade Emperor's fist slamd into Ye Tian like it had struck solid rock.
"So strong!"
"Hmph. Now you see my true strength. But for you, it's already over. I warned you—you're a dying arrow. That's what you are, and that ans there's no point in resisting."
The Jade Emperor suddenly found he had no strength left in his body. Why? Why couldn't he muster even an ounce of power?
"Ye Tian, what did you do to ? I had plenty of strength just a mont ago—why am I completely drained now?"
"It's simple. You took a pill. That's what caused this. You pushed your potential to the limit, and now that it's spent, you're left powerless. Don't say I didn't warn you. Your strength has been exhausted—there's no more for you to draw upon, no matter how hard you try."
He had relied on a pill to push beyond his limits—but once that potential was used up, he was left utterly drained. What a pitiful and tragic end.
