Chapter 242: Chapter 241 Boom!

Outside the gate of the Luo family’s old mansion, a muffled sound echoed, leaving everyone stunned, especially those from the Luo family. The uncles of the Luo family, who had hoped that Captain Bao Tianglong would kill Ye Tianchen with a single punch, were all dumbfounded, gasping in surprise. They had not expected such an outcome.

Ye Tianchen and Bao Tianglong truly exchanged blows, each standing their ground without moving. Their right hands collided, both wearing smiles as they looked at each other. Beneath their feet, within a radius of one meter, all the bluestone slabs were shattered, pulverized. It could be said that their punches were evenly matched, and whether anyone was stronger would probably only be known to Ye Tianchen and Bao Tianglong themselves.

"Damn, am I... am I hallucinating? This kid actually matched the captain with a punch?" one of the guards said, hardly believing it, rubbing his eyes vigorously, almost exclaiming.

"This... the captain must not have used his Inner Strength yet. Not many can withstand his Hard Qi Skill!" another guard could only find such a reason to console himself.

"Exactly, the captain definitely hasn’t used his Hard Qi Skill yet, otherwise this kid’s right hand would have been broken..."

The two guards, who had originally intended to teach Ye Tianchen a lesson, upon seeing that Ye Tianchen and Bao Tianglong had stoutly exchanged punches without any damage or even retreating a step, were spontaneously surprised and spoke involuntarily. Reflecting on how they had wanted to step in for the captain to discipline Ye Tianchen, they now felt a chill down their spines; even if both of them teamed up, they might not be able to withstand Ye Tianchen’s punch.

The uncles from the Luo family were also constantly surprised, especially those who knew that Bao Tianglong had once been a warrior of the Heavenly Gang level. They were all secretly shocked. No one had expected that Ye Tianchen from the Ye family could be so formidable. Had they known earlier, they might have just ordered the guards to shoot Ye Tianchen dead. However, doing so was something that Yansong Luo, the helmsperson, would definitely not allow. Such an act would truly damage the Luo family’s reputation, reducing them to a laughingstock among all the great families and powers, only able to sneak attacks and fire guns.

"The kid named Ye actually has such skills, damn it’s unbelievable!"

"No matter how powerful he is, he won’t get out of our Luo family. No matter how fast his moves are, are they faster than a bullet?"

"What... what do you mean?"

"If Bao Tianglong really loses, just let the two remaining guards shoot. They worship Captain Bao so much, they would definitely want to avenge him!"

"Good idea, we can’t let this kid leave the Luo family alive. If he grows up, he could very possibly be detrimental to our Luo family."

Some malicious and ruthless people of the Luo family had already started whispering. They not only wanted to keep the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box but also wanted to kill Ye Tianchen, as they felt a pressure that Ye Tianchen could possibly grow up and lead the Ye family to rise. Given their previous targeting of Ye Tianchen and his mother Luo Yan, with a rising trend of killing them both, Ye Tianchen would definitely not let them go.

"Already one move, nineteen to go..." Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"You will definitely lose because I haven’t used my full strength yet!" Although Bao Tianglong was surprised that Ye Tianchen, so young, had such formidable skills, he was still confident since he indeed hadn’t used his full strength yet.

"Let’s try and see. I too haven’t used my full strength!" Ye Tianchen said, smiling.

Bao Tianglong frowned, took a step back, and with a push, launched a flying kick sweeping towards Ye Tianchen’s left temple. Ye Tianchen was also startled; facing Bao Tianglong who was once a warrior of the Heavenly Gang level, he naturally couldn’t be careless. Even with the punch just now, he felt that defeating Bao Tianglong would require quite an effort. Bao Tianglong’s skills would not be much weaker than Hei Mian, and if it really came down to a fight to the death, it was uncertain whose deer would die.

In his initial impression of Ye Tianchen upon entering the old mansion’s hall, Bao Tianglong had noticed him. Perhaps others merely thought Ye Tianchen was arrogant, unreliable, and spouting nonsense, but Bao Tianglong felt that this somewhat rogue-like young man had strong skills, not just ordinary strength, but he hid it very well, invisible to most. Only someone like him, battle-hardened and once a Heavenly Gang level warrior, had such discerning eyes.

The punch just now truly startled Bao Tianglong internally. He could tell Ye Tianchen was strong but hadn’t realized he was so powerful. Even though he hadn’t used his full strength in that punch, he had used at least a third of the force of his Hard Qi Skill. Originally, he just wanted to test the waters and intimidate Ye Tianchen, letting the kid know his strength. Little did he know, the kid would actually match his punch head-on without budging. This level of strength forced Bao Tianglong to be surprised and cautious, at least indicating that Ye Tianchen’s displayed strength now was stronger than when he was younger.

Facing Bao Tianglong’s sweeping kick at such a close distance, able to strike so swiftly that nearly no flaws could be found, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but retreat two steps, his body leaning back as Bao Tianglong’s right leg swept past just above Ye Tianchen’s chest."Yah!"

Just then, Bao Tianglong shouted loudly, his right foot pausing above Ye Tianchen’s chest before suddenly pressing down towards it, leaving the onlookers almost jaw-dropped. Such a masterful duel was hundreds of times more thrilling than any TV or movie, and with such high-difficulty maneuvers, even if there were masters present, they would likely be astounded.

"Good heavens, it’s Captain Bao’s killing skill!"

"One kick decides the winner, hardly anyone ever escapes it, especially in such a situation!"

The two guards, seeing Bao Tianglong unleash his killing skill right from the start, couldn’t help but shout in amazement, their faces breaking into smiles. They had seen Bao Tianglong use this move before, a swift horizontal sweep with his right foot, unavoidable for the opponent, who could only lean back to dodge. At that moment, Bao Tianglong forcibly stopped the sweeping motion of his right foot and struck down with momentum, a strike that would either kill or severely injure the opponent.

At this very moment, Ye Tianchen was in just such a position, his entire body tilting back without any support, floating in the air, as Bao Tianglong’s right foot powerfully came crashing down, aiming straight for Ye Tianchen’s chest.

"Son..." Luo Yan couldn’t help but scream in worry, she certainly didn’t want to see her son hurt.

"No hope now, he’s doomed!"

"Let Captain Bao’s guard send this kid to meet the King of Hell with one kick!"

"The best if he’s dead!"

Smack!

When both Bao Tianglong and Ye Tianchen had stopped, the whole place fell eerily silent, everyone’s eyes wide open, staring at Ye Tianchen and Bao Tianglong.

Bao Tianglong stood on his left foot, the right still pressing down, while at the crucial moment, Ye Tianchen’s left hand slapped the ground, supporting his body, and grabbed Bao Tianglong’s ankle with his right hand. Even so, he was already flat on his back, and everyone could see a huge limestone slab beneath him had shattered, a testament to the great force of Bao Tianglong’s kick.

"Rise!"

Ye Tianchen let out a low shout, his right hand suddenly applying force, lifting Bao Tianglong more than two meters into the air, leaving him hanging. Bao himself was shocked, not expecting that his killing move not only failed to kill Ye Tianchen but didn’t even cause serious injury. It was the first time his killing skill had failed.

Whoosh!

As Bao Tianglong was propelled more than two meters high and still ascending, Ye Tianchen, with a single palm strike on the ground, forcefully created a clear handprint, and his body surged upward, fists tightly clenched, King-level Superpower Realm strength instantly filling his fists as he struck at Bao Tianglong.

Bang, bang, bang...

Two figures, at two meters’ height, began swinging punches at each other incessantly, back and forth. In that moment, Ye Tianchen spared no effort in using his King-level Superpower Realm strength against a Heavenly Gang Level warrior. Without it, he couldn’t have stood a chance, and Bao Tianglong didn’t hold back either, displaying his strength anew and using his Absolute Skill, Hard Qi Skill. Each punch shook the air, continuing until both men landed still attacking each other.

The onlookers were already mesmerized by the fighting scene, which was incredibly intense and exciting. Not just ordinary people but even any expert watching would be immensely surprised because the strengths displayed by Ye Tianchen and Bao Tianglong were truly astonishing.

Boom!

Fist against fist, Ye Tianchen and Bao Tianglong clashed with their strengths again, and this time both were knocked back a considerable distance. Bao Tianglong stumbled back a dozen steps before stabilizing while Ye Tianchen flipped backward four or five times, landing gracefully and striking a pose, smiling at Bao Tianglong. During the fight with Bao Tianglong, Ye Tianchen felt his superpower touch the peak of the King-level Superpower Realm. Despite what Zhang Yide said, that on Earth one cannot comprehend the Taoism and power of nature, Ye Tianchen hadn’t given up. He still aimed to break through to the Emperor-level, understanding that if one day he could return to the apocalypse planet, his current King-level Superpower Realm strength would not be sufficient.

"Come on, let’s decide this!"

Bao Tianglong roared, his hands forming palms and lifting upward. Around him, more than a dozen huge limestone slabs suddenly floated up, the force awe-inspiring. (To be continued.
