Chapter 13 – The Cliff of No Return

When Ye Tian suffered from the violent punch, the Xi infinite dao warrior closed in again and stabbed at Ye Tian’s neck, but Ye Tian flipped backward with one of his feet forming another arrow water attack that blocked the dagger. At this moment, the infinite dao warrior whispered a spell and threw another dagger that  transformed into a spinning machete aiming at Ye Tian’s head. Meanwhile, young master Xi continued  his attacks and landed another blow on Ye Tian’s ribcage. Seeing both attacks, Ye Tian took the blow but pulled young master Xi’s arm closer to him, and grabbed his body to block the spinning machete. As soon as the infinite dao warrior saw this he directed the machete outward and avoided the young master.

Ye Tian then formed a fire element in hand and swung his arm across that caused a wall of white flames that separated them from the other clansmen. Ye Tian and Ma Qian was trapped near the end of the cliff, but this time with young master Xi as hostage again. the young master couldn’t face this situation again, and with a dagger hidden near his sleeves, he elbowed Ye Tian and directed the dagger piercing through Ye Tian’s stomach. Ye Tian’s eyes showed shock and anger while falling of the cliff, but with the young masters back in front of him, he aimed a palm attack at young master Xi’s bone marrow.

“Aaahhhhhhh”

Everyone could hear an extremely painful scream. The impact to the bone marrow caused young master Xi to be crippled for life!

Meanwhile, Ma Qian, saw Ye Tian falling off and tried to extend huge wind  blew that cause him to fall off balance and fell from the cliff as well. This cliff was extremely foggy and there was a rumor that says anyone that falls of this cliff has never returned. Both were falling off, and Ye Tian was falling unconscious but he had a regretful smile knowing that he still didn’t know who killed his parents and the other elders. Ma Qian was extremely furious as he was falling. How the hell did things end up this way? He still wanted to conquer more women!

No one in the capital realized that deep below the cliff there is a whirlpool array! Throughout this time nobody bothered to investigate the cliff due to various stories spread around overtime. It doesn’t matter which version the story came from, because all of them had the same storyline – The cliff of no return!

Within several breaths, Ye Tian already fell unconscious and Ma Qian was also getting sleepy due to the loss of blood. However, he held on and was able to see just a bit of the whirlpool before falling unconscious as well. They fell inside the whirlpool array and disappeared. But a few moments later, they appeared out of the sea! The current swept them a secluded onshore. No one near lived there for whatever reason.

By nighttime, Ma Qian woked up and struggled to see his surroundings. He saw Ye Tian was within a distance near a huge rock. But before that, he had to focus on healing his wounds. He took out two potions, where he applied one of them on his shoulder. In a couple of breaths, the open wound started closing at a rapid pace. He felt a bit of pain when the wound was closing up. After that, he took another crystal potion and inserted into his chest without any trouble. The crystal potion was a healing potion, and once it went inside Ma Qian’s chest, the crystal transformed into a melted liquid and spread throughout different channels of his body. Ma QIan felt a lot better, but still needed the rest of potion to work overtime. He got up and walked towards Ye Tian, who was still unconscious and was seriously wounded.

Ma Qian carried him below a tree and spread the potion quickly that closed Ye Tian’s wounds. Ye Tian groaned a bit, which means he was still alive. Ma Qian was relieved. Once the wound all closed up, he hesitantly took out a high-grade  crystal potion. It was his only one and for emergency use only….specifically for himself! However, Ma Qian didn’t have any other choice and inserted the healing potion inside Ye Tian’s chest. He was hoping that in the near future, Ye Tian would repay two high-grade healing potions as long as he told him that he used two to recover him. This time the glow was brighter and worked amazingly well. The pain that Ye Tian showed on his face throughout this time disappeared gradually.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

After that was taken care of, Ma Qian tried to scan the nearby areas. It was dark and all he knew was that on one side was the sea, and on the other side there was a beach. He couldn’t find anything more and decided to rest until morning. He set up multiple arrays that included a sensoring array and a defensive array surrounding both of them. This could give them some type of warning if there are any intruders whether they are beasts or humans. Now they are able to sleep with some peace of mind.

While they were both asleep, Ye Tian entered what seems to be like another dimension, which he thought was a dream. The dimension was small and it looked more like a cave with and emerald pond. He looked around and what shocked him was he saw an old man. This old man had white hair, white silky robe, and a white beard. He was a bit on the chubby side, but he was as calm as water while roasting something near the fireplace. He also looked at Ye Tian with a surprising look, but smiled at him and signaled to have a seat. Ye Tian walked towards the old man cautiously, but eventually had a conversation….

Morning arrived and Ye Tian was the first one to wake up. He looked around and thought he was already in heaven, and had many regrets. His heart was filled with rage and vengeance. If he could’ve done things differently before, he definitely would, like killing the young master Xi instead of leaving him. This event had changed his personality significantly. He realized the people in the outside world was a lot different than people in the village. The outside world was cruel and being nice or diplomatic without a powerful background would be useless.

He looked around and realized that this might not be heaven. He looked at the places where he was previously wounded and found it was healed with barely visible scars on his chest. He also saw Ma Qian beside him still sleeping, but he knew it was because of him that he was still alive. Although he wanted to thank him, he thought it wouldn’t do any good. His personality has changed 180 degrees!  He reminded himself not to be kind or passive anymore. He’s alive and alone, he wanted to survive and get vengeance to all those that have hurt him. He looked at Ma Qian a bit longer. He was still sleeping while sucking on his thumb like a little baby. So childish, Ye Tian thought. He also thought it wouldn’t hurt to travel with Ma Qian, because he remembered how Ma Qian tried to save him while falling off the cliff.

“Pretty good morals and loyalty….not bad,” Ye Tian thought to himself.

Ye Tian waited for half an hour, but Ma Qian was still sleeping. He was a bit pissed off. He found a couple of leaves and crumbled it into a ball, then stuck if inside Ma Qian’s nostrils. Several breaths later, Ma Qian’s face was blushing red and inhaled as much air as he could from his mouth. Before, he was sucking on this thumb but due to the lack of oxygen, he instinctively pulled out his thumb to get some oxygen inside his body. By now, he was breathing heavily. What happened? Then he realized two balls were stuck inside his nostrils. He released some inner energy that pushed the balls out of his nostrils. He could only conclude someone did this, and Ye Tian was the only one with him, but Ye Tian pretended to be ignorant.

“You’re finally awake. You know where we are?” Ye Tian asked.

Ma Qian was still staring at him viciously, but whispered, “No.”

“Pssss, you know how we survived,” Ye Tian countered.

“I saw an array within the whirlpool when we fell off the cliff. So I would assume we were transported to this place.” Ma Qian said.

Ye Tian thought about it carefully, and didn’t say anything else. Meanwhile Ma Qian was still staring at Ye Tian. Inside Ma Qian’s heart, he said “How shameless! Not even a thank you. I even gave you my one and only high=grade potion. I better tell him to return two of those potions back to me.!”

“Ye Tian, since you’re healed up, I have to tell you that I had to use my last two high-grade…” Ma Qian said.

But Ye Tian quickly countered, “We better go now and find out where we are. The sooner the better.” He stood up quickly and ran off. Ye Tian saved himself this time from a debt.

Ma Qian didn’t get to finish what he wanted to say and was shocked. He whispered, “What the hell? My high-grade potions.” He looked at Ye Tian’s back, and what he saw was a different person than before!
