Chapter 327

Chapter 327: Chapter 326 For the first time, someone had directly shattered Ye Tianchen’s Golden Divine Shield, injuring him in the process. Sato was extremely powerful, a fierce old man over sixty years of age with no signs of aging. On the contrary, his muscles looked incredibly strong, just like those of a man in his twenties, surely the result of Japan’s long-term re

At this moment, what more was there to say? Having a powerful killing ability was the ultimate truth. Sato was formidable, and Ye Tianchen dared not underestimate him. Even without engaging in the ultimate showdown, he had already suffered serious injuries. Whether it was during his time in the apocalypse or after his rebirth on Earth, this was the most perilous battle Ye Tianchen had ever encountered. Sato was also his strongest opponent to date, the one truly capable of taking his life.

Whoosh!

Sato furrowed his brow because Ye Tianchen was rushing toward him like a meteor, not using any grand Superpower Killing Skill, but rather, clenching his fists tight, bursting with brilliant light. His massive fist-shadows fell, smashing down on Sato continuously.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ye Tianchen didn’t employ the Great Superpower Skill because he knew that against a master like Sato, a Superpower Skill with too broad a range would absolutely fail to kill him. It would only cause him to expend too much Superpower Energy, leaving him in an even more passive and dangerous situation.

Therefore, using a significant Superpower Slaughter Skill was less effective than simply concentrating Superpower Energy into his fists for an uncomplicated and direct attack. Once he landed a punch on Sato, the old man would take a heavy blow, making it much more effective.

"Handsome punch!"

With a loud shout, Tianchen only then swung his fist. His fists, filled with tremendous Superpower Energy, swung out relentlessly, a total of one hundred eighty-three punches in rapid succession, casting massive shadows of fists through the air. Each punch tore through the atmosphere, shaking the entire Black Mist Canyon, leaving Sato inwardly astounded—a young man from China with such powerful punches and a remarkably strong physique was truly rare to see.

Perhaps Ye Tianchen didn’t know that Sato had indeed been injected with a gene drug developed by Japan, which allowed him to have the vigorous body of a man in his twenties at over sixty years of age. This drug could also strengthen a person’s muscles, making them even harder than steel, so any collision with hard rock would certainly result in the rock shattering, a testament to an incredibly formidable enhancing agent.

At this point, Ye Tianchen and Sato were engaged in a genuine brawl, both clenching their fists, fighting in a head-on collision. Tianchen swung a total of one hundred eighty-three punches, each exceptionally fierce, breaking apart the air, but Sato, as a crafty old pervert, matched each one, resisting and counterattacking. Within a kilometer radius, there were only the shadows of Ye Tianchen’s and Sato’s fists. At this time, anyone who dared approach carelessly would likely be injured by mistake, even killed by a stray punch.

Bang!

Sato was sent flying by a punch from Ye Tianchen, slamming heavily into a large rock, which instantly shattered as he spat out blood. He couldn’t believe it, looking at Ye Tianchen with a mix of disbelief and panic. He never expected to be defeated, having not fought in twenty years. Twenty years ago, no one had faced him in such a straightforward brawl, without dodging. Now, even though he had injected himself with an enhancing drug and become more formidable than in his youth, Ye Tianchen was able to fight him head-on and even sent him flying. How could Sato accept this?

"I won’t accept this!" Sato howled to the sky, his eyes bloodshot with a violent killing intent, glaring fiercely at Ye Tianchen as if he wished to devour him.

Ye Tianchen didn’t speak. At this time, he was in his most potent state, barely able to use the strength of the Emperor-level Superpower Realm. Without having broken through to the Emperor Level Realm, being able to utilize such realm strength was truly astonishing and incredibly powerful.

Boom!

A colossal fist-shadow descended as Ye Tianchen, in an upside-down stance, struck downward at Sato’s head with his right fist. The immense fist-shadow nearly engulfed Sato, looking utterly terrifying, with the momentum to destroy everything.

Ah!

Boom thud!

An earth-shattering boom echoed throughout the Black Mist Canyon as Zhang Lan, Cang Lang, and Luo Weike continued their fierce battle against the Three Great Killing Kings of the Northern Star One-Blade School. At the height of their fight, all were suffering from severe wounds, teetering on the brink of life and death. Zhang Lan, in particular, was astonishing. Despite being a beautiful woman who might not be favored by appearances alone, she had fought several hundred rounds with one of the Killing Kings without being at a disadvantage. She sustained an injury on her shoulder, non-fatal, defying expectations with her combat prowess and surprising all.

This deafening noise startled the trio of Zhang Lan, who were deeply engaged in battle. They all sensed an immensely powerful presence that made their hearts skip a beat, and their intuition as seasoned fighters told them it couldn’t be anything but overwhelmingly destructive.

"Elder Sato is about to finish off that kid. We must also bring the battle to a swift conclusion!" one of the Killing Kings shouted loudly.

At the center of Black Mist Canyon, Ye Tianchen was sent flying backward, blood spewing from his mouth as he crashed against the edge of a cliff. Clutching his chest and furrowing his brows, he looked ahead at the dust clouds swirling around a large figure shaking in the mist, which emitted a dark fog.

Just as Ye Tianchen’s fist was about to hit Sato, he felt a surge of ferocious energy that was both incredible and unbelievable. He was sent flying, utterly unable to withstand this sudden explosion of violent power.

Roar!

A bestial growl caused listeners’ skin to crawl. Ye Tianchen frowned, forced himself back to his feet, and fixated on the emerging figure. As the immense shadow stepped forward and fully appeared in front of Ye Tianchen, even he couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Standing before Ye Tianchen was Sato, but he had been transformed beyond recognition as a human being. Black fur covered his entire body, standing over three meters tall, with disproportionately large hands and feet and menacingly sharp fangs. He resembled a werewolf, which confounded Ye Tianchen.

"You forced me into this. It was you who pushed me to become this creature. I will eat your flesh and drink your blood!" Sato uttered through gritted teeth, black mist and drool falling from his mouth, turning the rocks underneath into powder with its extreme corrosiveness.

"Monster, it seems that your Japanese gene-altering drugs are all flash and no substance, with harmful effects on the human body!" Ye Tianchen said with a cold sneer.

Howl!

Sato roared like a monstrous beast as he charged at Ye Tianchen with shocking speed. Everything in his path crumbled to dust, a truly terrifying sight that would corrode anyone on contact into pus and blood.

Facing this sudden development, Ye Tianchen didn’t know how best to react, but he knew one thing – he couldn’t engage in close combat with Sato any longer. Sato had mutated into a monster whose very touch was poisonous, and any contact would spell doom.

Dodging relentlessly, evading Sato’s deadly attacks, Ye Tianchen was formulating a plan. Close-quarter fighting was no longer an option against a creature covered in poison. While he could only use long-range lethal moves, Sato’s relentless assaults gave Ye Tianchen no time to prepare.

The strongest long-range attack Ye Tianchen could employ was the Thunder Bow, a powerful Killing Skill that required vast amounts of Thunder Energy. Most people could only muster up to three shots before reaching their limit, yet Ye Tianchen had mastered this skill. He had utilized it to vanquish many during his time in the apocalypse star. Although he had practiced frequently on Earth, the control he had over it couldn’t match that on the apocalypse star due to Earth’s dissipating spiritual energy and the changed Taoism, making it nearly impossible to break through to the Emperor Level. Otherwise, with his current realm, Ye Tianchen would have already reached the Emperor Level.

"Earth Wall Array!"

With a loud cry from Ye Tianchen, more than ten layers of solid earthen walls materialized in front of Sato, blocking him. While buying time, Ye Tianchen rapidly retreated, his left hand conjuring the Thunder Bow, his right hand the Thunder Arrow. He couldn’t afford the slightest delay; Sato, now a gene-altered monster, was stronger than him. One wrong move and Ye Tianchen would meet his end here today.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

In less than a second, Sato shattered Ye Tianchen’s multilayered Earth Element Wall Array. Tianchen, leaping into the air, had barely managed to form the Thunder Bow and Thunder Arrow and hadn’t yet had the chance to draw and release the arrow, when Sato’s claw-like paw struck down viciously.

"Die, I’ll make you pay with your blood!" Sato bellowed as he slammed his palm down.

In mid-air, Ye Tianchen couldn’t make an attack, with the Thunder Bow and Thunder Arrow just shy of being fully drawn. He couldn’t dodge either, and all he could do was shift slightly as he watched Sato’s hand come hurtling towards his left arm...(To be continued.
