Chapter 495: Strength Continues to Grow
Wasn't the whole point to defeat Han Zhengyun? And yet Wang Tianhu had resorted to such a method. At this moment, even Han Zhengyun herself couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
Watching her opponent's strength surge so dramatically, she couldn't help but wonder—could she still beat him?
Yet Ye Tian remained calm and said to her, "Remember what I told you: now is not the time for a head-on clash. What you need to do right now is stall for time. As long as you can delay things a bit, his strength will start to fade. He only managed to power up so much in such a short time because he took a pill. But that kind of enhancement is temporary—there's a time limit to it."
"Got it."
Han Zhengyun found his words to be quite reasonable, and she understood that stalling for time was the most crucial task right now.
"Stalling, huh?"
From the side, Wang Tianhu spoke up. "But of course, I'm not about to let you stall so easily. I'm going to defeat you in the shortest time possible. Han Zhengyun, once I beat you, you'll be my woman—whether you like it or not. There's no way I'm letting you get away today."
"Oh yeah? Then if you think you're capable of subduing me, come on and try it!"
Han Zhengyun was a strong woman. There was no way she'd let someone treat her like that. So, as soon as the words were exchanged, the two clashed once again.
"Fight!"
Ye Tian watched the two as they fought, both displaying formidable strength. Han Zhengyun was indeed someone he had trained—although she might not be as imposing in terms of aura, she was exceptionally fast.
Wang Tianhu wanted to defeat Han Zhengyun quickly, but he couldn't find a single opening. In terms of speed, the pill hadn't boosted him much at all.
"Han Zhengyun, is running all you know? If all you can do is run, then I look down on you!"
"Hmph! What's the use of you looking down on me? I look down on you! You knew you couldn't beat me, so you secretly took a pill. Who's in the wrong here—you or me?"
"Han Zhengyun, if you've got guts, then stop dodging!"
"Dodging is a skill too! So right now, I'm not letting you hit me. If you've got what it takes, then come catch me! I'd love to see how you're planning to pull that off!"
That's right—dodging was the most effective way to stall for time. For her, the most important thing right now was to delay the battle as much as possible.
Every second she bought counted. Once some time passed, his power would start to fade.
Once that happened, she could find the right opportunity to take him down. The key right now was to drag things out—no matter what, she had to hold out until his power waned. That was the best window to strike.
Seeing her constantly trying to stall left Wang Tianhu feeling off-balance. What was he supposed to do?
Sure, he had just taken a pill, but that only gave him a temporary boost. While it had improved his overall power somewhat, his speed hadn't increased all that much.
To catch her, he needed speed—but right now, he was bitterly disappointed. The pill hadn't helped him much in that area at all.
Since he couldn't match her speed, catching her became virtually impossible.
"What should I do now?"
That question kept echoing in his mind. He had no idea what to do anymore. If only he could catch her—but even now, that was still out of reach.
She was like a slippery eel—no matter what he tried, he just couldn't get a grip on her. No matter how anxious he got, it was useless.
"Come on, catch me! I really want to see how you plan to do that. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance—the opportunity's right in front of you. If even now you can't manage to catch me, then I guess you're just useless. Wang Tianhu, weren't you just bragging about how you could beat me? What's the matter? Even after taking that pill and boosting your strength, you still can't defeat me. Doesn't that just prove how useless you really are?"
"What?!"
Ye Tian, watching from the side, couldn't help but feel that Han Zhengyun really had a sharp tongue—but he liked that about her.
Her personality was a lot like his. Taunting the enemy like this was very beneficial for the fight ahead.
Sure enough, provoked by her words, Wang Tianhu roared, "So you really think I'm nothing, huh? Then I'll show you! I'll defeat you no matter what—and even if you beg for mercy, it'll be too late. Once I beat you, I'll force you into the bridal chamber. Today, you're going to be mine, no matter what! Hahaha!"
He forced another surge in his power. At that moment, both his strength and speed increased again.
Han Zhengyun started to feel a bit nervous and said, "What's going on, Ye Tian? Didn't you say his power would start to fade after a while? Why does it feel like he's getting even stronger instead?"
"Hmm... His power hasn't started to fade yet. If my guess is right, the pill has just hit its peak effectiveness. That's why instead of weakening, his strength is spiking again."
"Ye Tian, what should I do then? Can't you help me?!"
Ye Tian replied firmly, "No, I can't step in right now. If I help you now, it'll actually do you more harm than good."
"Why? Can't you see? He's like a monster right now—his strength has increased so much. If I really get beaten, it's not going to end well!"
But Ye Tian simply said, "I believe in you. You're someone I trained. You have the power to beat him!"
