Chapter 989 - Is Ye Tianchen About to Trick Them Again?
Chapter 989 of "Super Combat Soldier" introduces new challenges: "Your cultivation realm still seems to be in the early-stage Martial Saint, without any improvement.... Keep following!
"Your cultivation realm still seems to be in the early-stage Martial Saint, without any improvement. The Golden Strange Cloud is likely also a master of the Martial Saint realm, and he may have reached the Martial Saint realm years before you. If you go to battle like this..." Tianshuangâer said with some concern.
One canât help but worry, the dominance of the Golden Strange Cloud is well-founded and formidable. Qing Chengyue exchanged a palm strike with him and admitted defeat. And the Golden Family behind him, an ancient Cultivation Family, has remained hidden, yet exceptionally powerful for centuries. Every century, a disciple from the Golden Family emerges, sweeping through the three great Ancient Martial Worlds. Among these disciples, none failed to dominate the three Ancient Martial Worlds. Although other outstanding disciples from Cultivation Sects and Families emerge over the centuries, they are no match for the prodigies of the Golden Family. The Golden Strange Cloud is equally formidable, and one must be cautious in dealing with him.
"Hey boss, did you get stupid from shutting yourself in?" Hu Gao asked, somewhat annoyed seeing Ye Tianchen not speaking.
"Tianchen, whatâs wrong? Why arenât you speaking?" Dongfang Meng also asked, sensing something was amiss.
"Could it be that you lack enough confidence to fight the Golden Strange Cloud?" Tianshuangâer couldnât help but say.
Whoosh!
Just as Hu Gao, Dongfang Meng, and Tianshuangâer were puzzled by Ye Tianchenâs silence, another figure appeared, stunning the three. Another Ye Tianchen appeared; how could there be two Ye Tianchens?
"Hmm? This is... Wow, boss, someone is impersonating you, damn it, who is so skilled and ruthless to find us here?" Hu Gao jumped up immediately, activating the Jade Rope, ready to battle at any moment.
Dongfang Meng and Tianshuangâer quickly distanced themselves from Ye Tianchen in front of them, each activating their treasures cautiously. They constantly scrutinized the two Ye Tianchens present, trying to discern who was real and who was fake.
How could there be two Ye Tianchens in the Desolate Stone Village? What exactly is going on here? Dongfang Meng, Tianshuangâer, and Hu Gao were genuinely baffled, all feeling puzzled. They could only think that one of them was a fake, and this fake was extraordinarily powerful, not an average martial artist, otherwise how could they have found their way here? How could they silently transform into Ye Tianchenâs likeness? And most terrifyingly, when Dongfang Meng, Tianshuangâer, and Hu Gao all extended their powerful Divine Thoughts to try to see the essence of the fake Ye Tianchen, they found both Ye Tianchens to be identical in every wayâbody shape, facial features, and the aura and energy emitted from withinâleaving them astonished.
"This... Boss, which one is the real you?" Hu Gao couldnât help but scratch his head and ask.
"Their physique, appearance, and aura are all the same, itâs really hard to distinguish!" Tianshuangâer said, frowning.
"Then letâs attack together, neither can be allowed to threaten the villagers of Desolate Stone Village!" Dongfang Meng said coldly.
Buzz!
Hu Gao already had the Jade Rope in hand, martial arts true power ready, waiting to strike at any moment. Hearing Dongfang Mengâs words, Tianshuangâer readied the Ice Blade, and Dongfang Meng held the Jade Maiden Sword, prepared to unleash killing techniques on the two identical Ye Tianchens. They had become members of the Desolate Stone Village, committed to protecting its villagers, determined not to let anyone disrupt this hard-won peace or harm the innocents here.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, the Ye Tianchen who had appeared first in front of Dongfang Meng, Tianshuangâer, and Hu Gao transformed into a mist, slowly returning to the second Ye Tianchen, much to their surprise. Ye Tianchen smiled and said: "Looks like my month-long seclusion paid off, this method I devised is quite effective, you didnât notice just now, did you?"
"Hmm? Boss, what was that thing identical to you earlier?" Hu Gao asked in a daze.
Slap!
Hu Gao got smacked on the head, and Ye Tianchen said irritably: "What do you mean âthingâ? Thatâs the result of a month in seclusion, painstakingly using my martial arts true power mixed with a trace of Chaos Qi, then performing the Bone Transformation Skill to turn it into my likeness."
"Was it some kind of Martial Arts Substitute Skill?" Dongfang Meng asked, being brought back to his senses.
"No, itâs different from a typical Martial Arts Substitute Skill. If it were, you would have seen through it already." Ye Tianchen shook his head.
"An incarnation?" Tianshuangâer guessed.
"No, I spent nearly a month in seclusion crafting this. With my current cultivation realm, mastering the strongest powers of the universe is still challenging. It took a full month to refine it to this state, containing my martial arts true power, Chaos Qi, and the Bone Transformation Skill. The best I could do is this: identical in shape, appearance, and aura, controllable by my divine thought, but it cannot speak!" Ye Tianchen confessed his discontent.
"Boss, do you mean... you plan to use this duplicate to face Golden Strange Cloud?" Hu Gao suddenly realized something and asked.
"You finally got smart for once, Hu Gao, not bad!" Ye Tianchen joked with a smile.
"This... Itâs hard to unmask, but itâs not you, so its combat strength is much weaker. Beating the Golden Strange Cloud with it is nearly impossible!" Dongfang Meng worriedly said.
"Iâm not using it to defeat Golden Strange Cloud but to lure out the Blood Killing Organization and Nine Netherworld. Golden Strange Cloudâs challenges to me have already caught the attention of the three Ancient Martial Worlds and the world. Given the deadly enmity between me and the Blood Killing Organization or Nine Netherworld, they will certainly pay attention, possibly sending experts to ambush me. I wonât foolishly fall into their trap but give them a shocking conspiracy instead!" Ye Tianchen explained with a smile.
Ye Tianchen had been in seclusion for a full month, always focusing on refining this incarnation. Unfortunately, the power contained within Chaos Qi is immense, and controlling it freely is exceedingly difficult for Ye Tianchen. Despite numerous attempts and failures, he could only reach this point. The shape, appearance, and aura were identical to himself, but it lacked the "vitality" to speak or freely express thoughts.
Ye Tianchen isnât reckless nor impulsive. When Golden Strange Cloud taunted him, he was already strategizing. He isnât one to back down, and since becoming a martial artist and even returning to Earth, itâs the first time someone declared war on him so openly. Why wouldnât Ye Tianchen fight? But this battle concerns many thingsânot just his life or death and victory or defeatâit also concerns the safety of Desolate Stone Villageâs people, involving everyone around Ye Tianchen. He had to be cautious. He wonât give the Blood Killing Organization or Nine Netherworld such a chance; an intervention in his real battle with Golden Strange Cloud would be perilous or even deadly for him.
Therefore, Ye Tianchen set a trap for these ruthless and insidious legacies, showing no mercy. There is no morality in these cruel heritages; they seek to kill him by any means necessary. Itâs time for Ye Tianchen to strike back, to make them pay for the destruction of Desolate Stone Village, and to reclaim what is rightfully hisâa bit of interest first!
"Even you, who are so familiar with me, couldnât tell which was real or fake. Golden Strange Cloud wonât see through it, nor will those seeking to ambush me from the Blood Killing Organization and Nine Netherworld. I can confidently use my clone in Desolate Stone Village to confront Golden Strange Cloud and draw out those who seek to kill me. The longer they wait, the better my plan will work," Ye Tianchen said with a wry smile.
Thud!
One morning, there was a loud noise in the Ancient Martial World of Song Mountain. Ye Tianchen did not show himself, leaving those in the Blood Killing Organization and Nine Netherworld to grow more anxious by the day as they waited to ambush him. This would only facilitate the execution of his plan, the more impatient they became. Would they assume he was avoiding Golden Strange Cloud, or refusing to acknowledge him? With Ye Tianchenâs fearless nature, famed for adhering to principles over individuals, Golden Strange Cloud didnât believe the formerâonly the latter. He was enraged, his pride wounded, his honor as a genius scorned. Enraged, he declared that he, the Golden Strange Cloud, would battle all the geniuses of the three Ancient Martial Worlds today at Cangmang Mountain, claiming himself as the unrivaled strongest!
