Chapter 459: Chapter 458:

Boom!

As the punch struck, Richuan Gangban felt its wildness and the enormous power of thunder and lightning mixed within, shocking him. He hadn’t expected a person could condense such powerful thunder power in their hand. Instinctively turning around, he blocked with his Japanese military saber in front of his chest, but Ye Tianchen’s attack came too quickly, with such a fierce punch that Richuan Gangban had no power to counterattack.

Bang!

Richuan Gangban was sent flying out, tumbling through the air for hundreds of meters before barely stabilizing his form. His Japanese military saber was broken by Ye Tianchen’s punch once again, and this punch also struck his chest, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth, a testament to the punch’s immense force.

Ye Tianchen stood opposite Richuan Gangban, the Taie Sword that had hovered above his head was now put away, his fists alone crackling with lightning, his eyes coldly fixed on Richuan Gangban, uttering no words, only the intent to kill spreading around him.

"How... could you... When did you escape my killing skill?" Richuan Gangban hadn’t expected it, still somewhat confused, staring hard at Ye Tianchen and said.

"When my fists destroyed your Beichen One Slash," said Ye Tianchen indifferently.

It turned out, just as Ye Tianchen had swung the Taie Sword to carve a bloody path and charged forward, he was met with Richuan Gangban slashing down at him. Instantly understanding Richuan Gangban’s tactics, an idea sparked for escape, which was to use the Superpower Substitute Skill. That’s why he faced the Beichen One Slash head-on with his Thunder Sky Fist, shattering it and creating a burst of mist. Within that cover, Ye Tianchen used the Superpower Substitute Skill, replacing himself with a log, altering its appearance with superpower to fool Richuan Gangban into believing he had fallen for the trap and was killed, while quickly launching a surprise attack and grievously wounding Richuan Gangban.

Spurt!

Richuan Gangban’s mouth bled profusely as he couldn’t help covering his chest with his left hand, struggling to stand up from the ground. He felt his entire body being ravaged by the power of thunder and lightning, with many of his meridians and blood vessels broken. Ye Tianchen’s previous punch not only smashed his Japanese military saber but also hit his chest, blowing him away and inflicting serious injury.

Bang!

A streak of lightning flashed by, a cluster of electrical sparks burst in the air, dazzlingly beautiful before finally fading away. Richuan Gangban glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen, causing Ye Tianchen to be taken aback for a moment. He hadn’t expected Richuan Gangban to be so powerful; his own Emperor-level Superpower Realm strength in the Thunder Sky Fist could instantly blast away a small mountain. The punch was mighty, yet Richuan Gangban was not only not killed but also managed to force out all the thunder power that had entered his body, truly powerful.

"Good, it seems you didn’t use your full strength just now either. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a full-powered battle. When I followed my master to China years ago, I fought experts from your Ancient Martial Sects and never lost. I was only ten years old that year. Twenty years later, I have come to China once again and will not be defeated. I will sever your head and take it back to Japan!" Richuan Gangban’s entire demeanor changed, becoming more fierce and violent, his whole body imbued with a murderous aura, not needing to make a move—anyone approaching Richuan Gangban would meet their end.

"Don’t you think you talk too much crap? If words could kill, I don’t know how many people I would have already killed..." Ye Tianchen said to Richuan Gangban, at a loss for words.

"Hmph, you’ll find out soon enough, and you’ll know what death tastes like!" Richuan Gangban snorted coldly and said to Ye Tianchen.

"Death your sister, death your whole family, come at me if you dare!"

That was Ye Tianchen for you, the more intense and life-threatening the battle, the more relaxed he became. He was someone who grew stronger when facing stronger opponents. Moreover, he always believed that without a calm state of mind, it would be extremely difficult to defeat an opponent. Only in a very rational state could one come up with better tactics and unleash more powerful strength.

Snap!

Richuan Gangban’s palm shot towards Ye Tianchen with a smack. Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows—it was a ferocious palm technique. Could it be the legendary Beichen Palm? Ye Tianchen remembered that Zhang Yide once told him that Beichen’s One Slash Sect, besides its unpredictable and exquisite blade skill, possessed a set of palm techniques that were also extremely formidable. When Beichen’s One Slash Sect arrived in China, they challenged the various Ancient Martial Sects, aiming to break down the foundation of Chinese martial arts culture and cause the convictions of the ordinary populace to crumble. Naturally, the people they sent were top-class experts. However, Chinese martial arts were profound and had a heritage of thousands of years; they were not as simple as the sect had imagined. Whether through assassination or so-called fair competitions, they did not gain any advantage. Of course, they also demonstrated their powerful strength, forcing the Ancient Martial Sects of China to acknowledge their might to this day.

Boom!

Though he considered this, Ye Tianchen’s actions were not slow. He clenched his right fist tightly, the Power of Thunder and Lightning flashing and enveloping it as he punched out to meet the strike head-on.

Bang-thump!

Both Ye Tianchen and Richuan Gangban were knocked back several meters. They glared fiercely at each other, neither having expected the other’s palm force and punch to be so formidable and fierce.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the next instant, the two young top-tier experts vanished into the night, leaving only the sounds of intense fighting echoing in the air—a terrifying series of thuds that allowed one to sense the enormity of their power just by listening.

Crack! A hand shadow burst forth, striking a high wall of the villa mid-air and instantly turned the wall, made of bricks and reinforced with steel, into rubble!

Whoosh! A punch streaked out, soaring over the top of the villa and smashing into the swimming pool. A column of water jetted into the sky, creating a large hole at the bottom. In a matter of moments, all the water from the large pool had drained away, the depth of the punch unknown.

Bang. Bang. Bang...

Ye Tianchen and Richuan Gangban reappeared, continuously bombarding each other. Their speed had reached an extreme—Richuan Gangban was very fast, but with the Divine Movement Skill, Ye Tianchen’s movements became even faster. He chased after Richuan Gangban to strike, both of them strong with comparable prowess. As they fought from darkened skies to appearing again in mid-air and then vanishing once more, it was a dizzying sight.

When the air no longer carried the sounds of their fists and palms releasing immense energy, Ye Tianchen and Richuan Gangban emerged suspended mid-air. Blood dripped from the corner of Ye Tianchen’s mouth, and a large hole was visible on his left shoulder with a clear palm print—he had taken a hit from Richuan Gangban’s palm, and the blood flowed down his back, dripping steadily onto the ground. Ye Tianchen paid it no mind; at this moment, no one could afford to be distracted by their injuries, a moment’s inattention could result in being killed by the opponent.

Richuan Gangban, on the other hand, had a face that was unrecognizable, a mess akin to a pig’s head. Ye Tianchen’s fists had landed on Richuan Gangban’s face time and again. While it is said that hitting the face is off-limits, Ye Tianchen specialized in striking the face, especially since he found this group of Japanese so shameless—how could he not target their faces? With his final punch, Ye Tianchen smashed Richuan Gangban’s left hand, fracturing it, so now Richuan Gangban’s left hand was hanging limp, unable to be raised again, with likely both bones and meridian channels crushed.

In less than ten minutes, Ye Tianchen and Richuan Gangban had fought hundreds of rounds. Both had sustained serious injuries; not just ordinary people, but even top-notch experts upon witnessing this scene would be utterly shocked. Both fighters were so young yet so overwhelmingly fierce. It wasn’t easy to decide the winner.

"You really are strong," said Richuan Gangban coldly as he looked at Ye Tianchen. At this moment, his arrogance had dissipated. He’d thought that he could kill Ye Tianchen instantly, but even after fighting all out for hundreds of rounds, he had not been able to take Ye Tianchen down. His boastfulness dissolved, and he now took Ye Tianchen very seriously as an opponent.

"Come on, show me what else you’ve got. Let’s see just how formidable your Beichen’s One Slash truly is..." Despite everything, Ye Tianchen still smiled. Beichen’s One Slash was indeed powerful, no wonder it was known as Japan’s Mount Tai and North Star. Similar to China’s Ancient Martial Sects Shaolin and Wudang, the sect’s martial arts were formidable. Ye Tianchen indeed wished to witness more, perhaps even enlighten himself through their techniques.

"Ha ha ha ha, Ye Tianchen, do you really think that after protecting your woman, you can protect your parents and sister? They’re already corpses now!" Richuan Gangban suddenly burst out laughing.

Ye Tianchen was momentarily stunned by the thought that Beichen’s One Slash could locate the Ye family estate and his own residence, and thus most likely find where his parents and sister lived. If the Ye family estate and his villa had been attacked, what about his mother and sister? And Qi Ruxue and Alice, residing in the villa—how could they possibly withstand the powerful experts of Beichen’s One Slash?

Whoosh! Without uttering a word, Ye Tianchen responded with his fist. Overthinking was useless; he could only return to rescue his mother and sister after killing Richuan Gangban. He hoped his contingency would suffice and prayed that no one too formidable had attacked, or else his mother and sister might not be safe.

With unwavering conviction and no perturbation of mind, Ye Tianchen’s Divine Sense reached a state of clarity. Abruptly, he opened his eyes, his whole body bathed in a brilliant Golden Light. The Thunder Sky Fist in his right hand—once mingling with purple Thunder Power—had turned golden, presenting an alarming sight. He triggered the realm of transcending levels to battle, stepping forward to strike down Richuan Gangban!(To be continued.
