Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Chapter 139 A palm strike, For this palm strike, Ye Tianchen had used his King Realm superpower, striking with full force and employing almost all the superpower he could currently muster.

In a duel between masters, one always strikes with full force from the start, This is absolutely beyond doubt since no one dares to take it lightly, and nobody has absolute confidence they can defeat an opponent whose strength is almost identical to their own.

Even a master like Cang Lang, hailed as one of Huaxia’s three War Kings, was deeply shocked to see Ye Tianchen’s mid-air palm strike heading for Gudu Ang, who also met the attack with an undodging palm, He could feel that both men had put their all into this clash, which would determine the victor.

Bang!

A loud crash resounded as Ye Tianchen and Gudu Ang exchanged palm strikes, both putting forth their full strength, The area within ten meters around them was shaken to the point that dust filled the air, The reason was Ye Tianchen’s mid-air palm had shattered the stone bricks around where Gudu Ang stood into powder, and even the ground under Gudu Ang’s feet had sunk about ten centimeters deep, One could imagine the tremendous power behind that palm strike.

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen was the first to burst out from the dust, rolling in mid-air and landing firmly on the ground, Blood was flowing from the web between the thumb and index finger of his right hand, indicating that Gudu Ang’s palm strike had been powerful and delivered with full force as well.

"You actually survived?" Cang Lang watched Ye Tianchen with disbelief and remarked.

"Gudu Ang is indeed very strong, No wonder he competes with you for the position of one of the three War Kings of Huaxia But why do you say that?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help being curious.

Cang Lang glanced at the bleeding wound on Ye Tianchen’s right hand, feeling truly astounded, He deemed Ye Tianchen even more unfathomable, knowing that he had once had a fierce battle with Gudu Ang, At that time, Gudu Ang’s strength was not as formidable, Yet, Cang Lang had paid a price to defeat Gudu Ang, and he hadn’t expected that Ye Tianchen had only suffered such a minor injury after a full-force palm exchange with him.

"Did you see through Gudu Ang’s fist technique?" Cang Lang did not answer Ye Tianchen’s question directly but instead stared intently at the slowly settling dust.

"I couldn’t see through it; it’s strange, There was a flash of golden light as the punches were thrown," Ye Tianchen said, puzzled.

Indeed, during the apocalypse, there were strong figures from Ancient Martial Sects, superpower experts, mutants, and demon beasts, There were all sorts of strange beings, And in this era, at least from what he had seen so far, aside from the Ancient Martial Sect masters, there were also Superpower Users, but nothing else had been discovered.

So Gudu Ang wasn’t a Superpower User, Ye Tianchen hadn’t felt any superpower fluctuations from Gudu Ang, which meant that if he could have such combat power, he had to be a master from an Ancient Martial Sect, Within these sects, those who became strong masters must have cultivated the sects’ absolute skills, be it fist techniques, swordsmanship, palm techniques, among others, or like Xie Yuhe and her senior brother Jiang An, the Flying Knife technique.

Gudu Ang practiced a fist technique that, combined with his powerful Inner Strength, enabled him to deliver impressive combat power, But the Inner Strength in his punches twinkled with bits of golden light, something Ye Tianchen had never seen before and couldn’t understand, He had no idea what Ancient Martial Arts Gudu Ang was practicing to be so formidable, verging on bringing the formless into form.

"Demon Suppressing Vajra Fist!" Cang Lang said solemnly.

"What? It’s that fist technique?"

Upon hearing Cang Lang’s words, Ye Tianchen was also startled, Demon Suppressing Vajra Fist was a fist technique in the apocalypse that was quite shocking, known as a supreme technique, Rumors said that when practiced to the ultimate level and combined with powerful Inner Strength, one’s punch could bring down dragons, the second could defeat tigers, and the third would surely suppress all demons, Whether this was an exaggeration, Ye Tianchen didn’t know because he had never fought against a peak master of Demon Suppressing Vajra Fist during the apocalypse, but he hadn’t expected to encounter a practitioner of this technique in Gudu Ang, who, although not at the peak, already possessed considerable skill.

"Yes, you must have heard of the might of Demon Suppressing Vajra Fist, hence your survival is truly remarkable!" said Cang Lang earnestly.

Feeling unshocked would be a lie, Ye Tianchen also felt fortunate that he had not underestimated Gudu Ang at the start, having instantly invoked the peak strength of the King-level Superpower Realm, That palm strike in mid-air had not only the force of inertia from the fall but also Ye Tianchen’s full strength, containing the strongest blow he could currently muster.

As the dust slowly dispersed, Gudu Ang was still standing in place, The stone bricks within a few meters of him had all been shattered, and his legs had sunk about ten centimeters into the ground, The sight was quite frightening, especially as Gudu Ang’s right hand dangled limply; all five fingers were twisted and deformed, clearly indicating that all his finger bones had broken, Blood dripped down, and Gudu Ang, motionless, stared blankly at Ye Tianchen.

For that previous palm strike, Gudu Ang had been quite confident, believing that his palm would certainly send Ye Tianchen flying, In these years, he had trained day and night precisely to defeat Cang Lang and claim the title of one of the three War Kings of Huaxia, Therefore, the realm of his Demon Suppressing Vajra Fist had improved to an incommensurable degree, multiplying its power several times over, In Gudu Ang’s view, no matter how strong Ye Tianchen was, he couldn’t withstand his own palm.

Who would have known, at the moment their palms met, Gudu Ang felt as though he had struck an iron mountain; Ye Tianchen was unmovable, sending Gudu Ang reeling back. Staring in disbelief at Ye Tianchen, even with all five bones in his right hand shattered, Gudu Ang didn’t feel the pain—it was completely overshadowed by shock.

Ye Tianchen, merely twenty years old. In Gudu Ang’s opinion, even if Ye Tianchen was strong, how strong could he possibly be? Surely no match for himself, especially with a full-power palm strike. But reality is always unpredictable, and Ye Tianchen’s strength far exceeded Gudu Ang’s imagination.

"I lost, take it," said Gudu Ang, stepping out of the ten-centimeter-deep footprint, took out a wallet with his left hand, and threw it to Ye Tianchen.

"You should train more; with your strength, reaching one of the top three War Kings of Huaxia won’t be difficult!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen bore no hatred towards Gudu Ang, considering it a minor friction at most. And Gudu Ang, a man of true strength who honored his word in defeat, earned Ye Tianchen’s respect. His praise was genuine—Gudu Ang certainly had the potential to be one of Huaxia’s three War Kings. And Cang Lang’s prowess, in Ye Tianchen’s estimation, might even exceed that of Gudu Ang. A full-on battle with Cang Lang was just a matter of time.

Gudu Ang glanced at Ye Tianchen, then at Cang Lang, and declared, "In a year, I’ll defeat this kid, and by that time, Cang Lang, the title of War King will be mine!"

"No problem, I’ll have a rematch with you in a year!" Ye Tianchen said with a laugh.

"Good, then we’ll have a real showdown!" Cang Lang replied seriously.

Watching Gudu Ang leave, Cang Lang sighed in relief. The confrontation between Ye Tianchen and Gudu Ang had come to a satisfactory conclusion—had they truly fought to the death, the Luo Family’s Mansion might well have been destroyed.

"Ye Tianchen, can’t you be less impulsive in your actions? If you wipe out the Luo family now, how will you handle the aftermath!" Cang Lang yelled, unable to contain his fury.

"Don’t yell, don’t yell; you’ve got Elder Yang and yourself, don’t you? I believe you can handle the Qin family and the Luo family. Besides, I’ve promised Elder Yang to protect that school beauty when I go to Longteng University. Think about it—if something happens to me, who will complete the mission?" Ye Tianchen shamelessly laughed.

"You..."

"Let’s get going. I bet the Luo family’s servants will call the police soon. Once the police arrive and see General Cang Lang here, things might get much more serious. As for a small fish like me, it doesn’t matter if I’m seen," Ye Tianchen said, snickering.

At a loss for words, Cang Lang made his way towards the gate of the Luo Family’s Mansion, with Ye Tianchen following behind, laughing shamelessly. Just as they reached the gates, they were met by a hundred armed special police officers aiming their guns at Ye Tianchen and Cang Lang, presenting an imposing sight.

"These must be Lu Shengda’s men, looks like it’s time to teach this guy a lesson; he doesn’t know his place!" Ye Tianchen said, clenching his fists.

"Can’t you just stay put and not cause trouble? Just oblige me this once, will you..." Cang Lang said in a low voice, glaring at Ye Tianchen, fearing that he might really neutralize these several hundred special police officers, which would only escalate the situation beyond control.

"Well then, let’s just wait to be arrested!" Ye Tianchen sighed.

"Elder Yang will find a way, as long as you just stay put!" said Cang Lang in a stern voice.

At this moment, Lu Shengda emerged from the crowd. Smiling, Ye Tianchen said, "Ah, if it isn’t Director Lu. What an impressive turnout; are you here to arrest me?"

"Well... Brother Ye, I am just following orders, please don’t make this difficult for me. Brother Cang Lang, this is an arrest warrant personally issued by Minister Chen. Please come with me," Lu Shengda said, trying to keep a polite and apologetic smile.

Ever since witnessing Ye Tianchen take down Qin Heng and his father Qin Taoyuan at the Beifeng Pavilion, Lu Shengda understood all too well that he was no match for Ye Tianchen. He was lucky if Ye Tianchen didn’t bother him, so it was better to just quietly remain as the head of the Kyoto police. How could someone like him provoke a man who dared to storm the Qin family? Ye Tianchen’s stature was becoming unreachable for him. (To be continued. If you like this novel, feel free to support us at qidian.com. Your votes and support are the greatest motivation for us.)
