Chapter 460

Chapter 460: Chapter 459 "You...you weren’t going all out just now?"

Richuan Gangban stared at Ye Tianchen, whose combat power surged significantly more than before, appearing much stronger than earlier. It was hard to believe he didn’t look like someone who had fought hundreds of rounds and was exhausted. His combat power felt even more formidable than before. Richuan Gangban could hardly believe it and found it incredible. He had put forth all his strength using the Beichen Palm against Ye Tianchen’s Thunder Sky Fist. Neither had fallen behind; both were severely injured, with Ye Tianchen sustaining a massive hole through his left shoulder, bleeding profusely. Richuan Gangban had thought he still had the combat power left to kill Ye Tianchen.

Who would have known that the sudden explosion of combat power from Ye Tianchen would be so immense that it made him feel extremely insignificant in front of Ye Tianchen? This immense combat power imposed a significant pressure on Richuan Gangban. He already felt that even if he hadn’t fought hundreds of rounds previously and retained his strongest fighting force, he wouldn’t be a match for Ye Tianchen now.

"This is my full strength now, can you still fight? I don’t kill the powerless!"

Ye Tianchen’s aura dramatically changed, not only had his combat power grown stronger, but he seemed to be above all, that invincible look in his eyes startled Richuan Gangban. He never expected this young man to be so formidable. Even though he had done his best, Ye Tianchen still reserved some fighting power that was incredibly strong. Since Ye Tianchen’s cultivation had ascended to the Emperor Level Realm, this was the second time he had touched the boundary of combating across levels—a very mystical realm, which Ye Tianchen couldn’t control at will, but still had certain techniques. At this moment, he felt that even if Richuan Gangban wasn’t injured, he could still annihilate him, even if facing a peak master in the late Martial Venerate stage, Ye Tianchen was confident to fight.

"Ah..."

Richuan Gangban, furious, charged toward Ye Tianchen, unleashing a palm strike so powerful that it caused the air to collapse. However, when facing such a ferocious punch from Richuan Gangban, Ye Tianchen didn’t dodge this time. He stood his ground and casually delivered a punch; the fist wind of the Thunder Sky Fist, which had already turned from purple to gold, struck right at the center of Richuan Gangban’s right palm.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen remained standing in his original spot without moving, while Richuan Gangban was sent flying, crashing heavily into the roof of Ye Tianchen’s villa, causing it to cave in by half.

"Ah...my right hand!" Richuan Gangban struggled to get up, his body covered in blood, and his right hand was twisted and deformed, looking like a messily twisted piece of steel - the result of just one punch from Ye Tianchen.

"Oh dear, I should be careful with the direction, hey be careful, don’t smash up my house!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and looked at Richuan Gangban as he spoke.

Richuan Gangban, his eyes red with rage, looked at Ye Tianchen, filled with a murderous aura. Both of his hands had been crippled by Ye Tianchen; despite being injured, his last punch, with seventy percent of his strength, did no damage to Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen hadn’t even moved back, which severely hurt Richuan Gangban’s pride. Being the strongest young master of the Beichen Sword lineage and seen as the successor to the Sword Emperor, surrounded by countless glories and undefeated, even against strong opponents he could fight, and at worst retreat completely, but he had never been so utterly humiliated. This inflated his already swollen pride to madness.

"You are the first person who has pushed me this far, the first..."

Richuan Gangban pulled something out of his pocket, swallowing it all in one go, which startled Ye Tianchen and made him inhale sharply. It was the gene mutation capsule that Sato had swallowed during their great battle. Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected that Richuan Gangban also possessed it. It seemed that the Beichen Sword clan was really ruthless. The Japanese were indeed cruel, keeping gene mutation capsules to boost their combat power at the cost of severe side effects and backlash when facing strong opponents, all to achieve their goals at any cost.

With a rumbling sound, Richuan Gangban swallowed a dose of genetically mutated medication, completely engulfing himself in madness. He must have known the severe damage transgenic drugs could cause, possibly leading to his own destruction, yet now he was utterly overpowered by Ye Tianchen, beaten senseless and irrational, recklessly determined to kill Ye Tianchen, unable to accept his defeat as the strongest young expert of the Beichen sword style enveloped in countless accolades.

Ye Tianchen gasped in shock. After Richuan Gangban swallowed the genetically modified drug, his entire body’s muscles trembled and swelled immensely. His pectorals, abs, and biceps kept thickening, and miraculously, both his hands healed instantaneously. The effects of this genetically mutated medication were alarming, especially the shimmering light of energy on Richuan Gangban’s hands which looked horrifying, and his stature continued to grow.

"This is bad, I can’t engage in a huge battle here, it would destroy this place, harming Xiao Ya and innocent people!" Ye Tianchen thought to himself.

The reason Ye Tianchen was alarmed wasn’t because he was facing Richuan Gangban who had suddenly become stronger by consuming the genetically modified drug. Fear was out of the question for Ye Tianchen, a man who grows stronger when facing strength, especially now that he stood in such transcendental realm—an indomitable belief that he would never back down against anyone, even if the Sword Emperor himself appeared, Ye Tianchen would still fight.

With this in mind, Ye Tianchen immediately rushed toward Richuan Gangban, his left hand seizing Richuan Gangban’s shoulder, utilizing the Divine Movement Skill to its extreme limit, and at the highest speed, he carried Richuan Gangban out of the villa area towards a desolate region.

Richuan Gangban had just swallowed the genetically modified drug, forcibly burning his life force to heal his injuries in the shortest possible time, yet before completely metabolizing the drug’s effects, Ye Tianchen approached, grabbed his shoulder, and forcibly flew him out of the villa area. Instantly, Richuan Gangban threw a punch at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen, holding on to Richuan Gangban’s shoulder with his left hand and continuously warding off strikes with his right, was restricted and now that Richuan Gangban had taken the drug and become much stronger than before, though he blocked Richuan Gangban’s deadly moves, his internal energy was in turmoil, and after taking several punches, he almost spit out blood.

"Hahaha, you Chinese are always too cautious. If you just threw me down now, you wouldn’t get hurt yourself. You’re really asking for death!" Richuan Gangban laughed loudly as he landed a punch on Ye Tianchen’s abdomen, causing Ye Tianchen to feel excruciating pain, almost spitting out blood.

Ye Tianchen didn’t respond but increased his speed, flying high with Richuan Gangban. Below was the beautiful scenery of Capital City, but Ye Tianchen had no energy to appreciate it. He gripped Richuan Gangban with his left hand and continuously blocked Richuan Gangban’s attacks with his right. If he couldn’t block them, he would have to take the hits himself. Now that Richuan Gangban had ingested the mutating drug, his strength had increased manifold by sacrificing his life force, indicating a strength that even Ye Tianchen, standing in his transcendental realm, could hardly endure for long.

However, Ye Tianchen never let go, his expression was firm and his eyes invincible. He knew that below was Capital City, and Richuan Gangban, having lost his sanity due to the drug, could wreak immense havoc if dropped. Regardless of anything, Ye Tianchen kept telling himself that he must hold on, must not let go, and take Richuan Gangban to a desolate place to defeat him there. At this moment, he had to keep holding on, otherwise the entire Capital City might suffer unimaginable casualties.

Just then, the staff at the astronomical observatory in Capital City stood agape for they witnessed an unbelievable scene above Capital City—two people fighting intensely in mid-air, one holding onto the other’s shoulder, their battle raging fiercely. It was a sight that baffled the mind, and it took them a long while to recover before they hurriedly phoned their superiors to report.

"Saving these people related to you, at the cost of your own life, you really are foolish to the core!" Richuan Gangban punched Ye Tianchen in the chest again, causing Ye Tianchen to no longer hold back but to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Spurt!

"They are not unrelated to me, they are my compatriots, all Chinese. I believe they would do the same!" Ye Tianchen said firmly to Richuan Gangban, his grip never loosening, making sure Richuan Gangban didn’t fall down. (To be continued.
