Chapter 218: Chapter 217: [The Battle with Guitian Yilang]

Although Ye Tianchen made it sound simple, his actions were anything but slow. He was greatly surprised inwardly. The hunched figure in black was incredibly powerful, managing to teleport behind him in the blink of an eye and deliver a lethal blow towards his head with a fist.

Maybe others didn’t notice, but Ye Tianchen understood that if he hadn’t boosted his King-level Superpower Realm to the peak in order to force out the Detoxification Herb and spread his Superpower Perception to a certain extent, even being able to detect the sound of a blade of grass breaking through the soil, it would have been very hard to block that old bastard’s punch.

"It is truly unexpected that a mighty young junior like you would emerge from China. It seems necessary to kill everyone here!" The hunched figure in black indifferently said to Ye Tianchen.

"Old timer, will you die if you don’t talk big? Will you die? Are you sure you can kill all of us here?" Ye Tianchen said, annoyed.

"Elder Guitian, no need to waste words with this kid. He killed our people; he must die!" one of the remaining two first-class assassins said, glaring fiercely at Ye Tianchen.

Among those present, there were still three assassins in black. Besides Ye Tianchen, only Hei Mian still had fighting capacity on his side, but Hei Mian was also injured, and it was uncertain whether he could withstand the attacks of the remaining two first-class assassins for much longer. In the long run, their lives were definitely in danger.

"Hmph, there’s never been anyone I, Guitian Yilang, couldn’t kill. You’ve slain the young elite of our Beichen Katana School; you absolutely cannot be allowed to see tomorrow’s sun alive!" The eyes of the hunched figure in black suddenly took on an evil cast, staring intently at Ye Tianchen.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen found the environment around him had changed. Blood rained down from the sky, a terrifying sight. A common person would likely have a mental breakdown at the sight of it, and die from sheer terror. Unfortunately, Guitian Yilang’s Illusion Technique from the Beichen Katana School was used on the wrong person. Since Ye Tianchen had been reborn from the apocalypse, a world of bizarre and cannibalistic nature where Corpse Mountain Blood Sea was very common, it seemed rather mundane.

Swish!

Ye Tianchen’s body shook as he used Superpower to break Guitian Yilang’s illusion. At the same time, he punched at Guitian Yilang with incredible speed. Many present were shocked, especially the remaining two first-class assassins, who could hardly believe it. In the Beichen Katana School, Guitian Yilang, as an elder, naturally held a significant position. Besides his own strength, his Illusion Technique was formidable, almost impossible to break. Once someone fell into Guitian Yilang’s illusion, their death was certain.

Unexpectedly, not only had Ye Tianchen broken Guitian Yilang’s illusion, but he was also able to counterattack swiftly, delivering a fierce punch towards Guitian Yilang.

Bang!

A dull thud sounded as Guitian Yilang clashed with Ye Tianchen again. However, this clash was not fist against fist, but rather Guitian Yilang had thrown a palm strike. Originally, the two were only about one meter apart. When they clashed again, Guitian Yilang retreated three or four steps. He hadn’t expected this young Chinese man to have such formidable skills, and it seemed that earlier, he was merely testing.

"Hei Mian, can you hold on for a bit longer? I’ll deal with this old bastard first and then come rescue you!" Ye Tianchen glanced at Hei Mian and said with a slight smile.

"It’s not your turn to rescue me yet. If you can kill the old bastard, great. If not, I’ll come help you later!" Hei Mian said, somewhat disgruntled.

"Good!"

No sooner had Ye Tianchen finished speaking than he infused both fists with the energy of the King-level Superpower Realm, ready to unleash a powerful Superpower Skill. The Guitian Yilang before him was even stronger than Zhang Yide, and not to be taken lightly. Ye Tianchen wasn’t fully confident he could kill him, so he had to give his all.

Boom, boom, boom...

Everyone was stunned by the fight between Ye Tianchen and Guitian Yilang, including the two first-class assassins battling Hei Mian. At this moment, the young Chinese man could actually fight to a standstill with Elder Guitian Yilang, who was exerting his full power, which was truly astonishing.

Moreover, at this time, neither Ye Tianchen nor Guitian Yilang were using any powerful lethal moves. Ye Tianchen hadn’t used Superpower Skills, and Guitian Yilang hadn’t used the Beichen Katana School’s killer moves. The two were simply fighting with their bare hands, which was quite splendid and sharp. In no time, they had already shaken the pharmacy to the brink of collapse.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two figures shot down from the pharmacy roof at the same time, exchanging several blows in mid-air before landing steadily on their feet. Both looked at each other with utmost seriousness. This time, Ye Tianchen had shed any trace of frivolity, and Guitian Yilang had dispensed with superfluous words. Both could sense the formidable and terrifying nature of the other – one lapse in concentration, and it could be fatal.

"What are you standing there for, kill the others! I’ll hold this kid back!" Guitian Yilang, speaking fluent Chinese, commanded the remaining two first-class assassins.

From the words of Guitian Yilang, it was evident that initially he didn’t take Ye Tianchen seriously. Even though he felt Ye Tianchen was strong, he believed it wouldn’t be very difficult to kill him. Only after their fight did he realize that the young Chinese man standing before him had become powerful enough to contend with him. Now, he just wanted to stall Ye Tianchen and allow the other two first-class assassins to strike, aiming to kill Zhang Yide and the others.

The two first-class assassins snapped back to reality and almost simultaneously made their move, charging at Hei Mian. Their knives had already been reduced to scrap metal by Hei Mian’s previous attack, so they were now rushing in bare-handed. Hei Mian frowned as well, disregarding his injuries, and clenched his fist to fight back.

Boom!

With a wave of his right hand, Guitian Yilang caused seven Skull Blades to reappear at his side, their color now a bloody red. The skull-shaped hilts seemed as though they had absorbed human blood, looking ferocious and terrifying, enough to make one shiver with fear.

"If it’s seven Japanese military sabers, then I’ll use a Chinese weapon!" Ye Tianchen too spread open his right hand, and in the palm, he quickly condensed a Fangtian Halberd, lifelike in detail. Zhang Yide internally gasped in astonishment; he hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to be able to freely use Superpower to shape weapons. This was a terrifying Superpower Skill.

Without much talk, they started with life-and-death moves. At this moment, Ye Tianchen dared not be careless, and Guitian Yilang didn’t dare underestimate the younger man. Both were exerting their full strength, pushing their abilities to the limit.

The seven Skull Blades, with the sound of daybreak, charged towards Ye Tianchen, spanning an area of several hundred meters, leaving no room to dodge. Wherever the Skull Blades passed, even the air seemed to be sliced open – truly horrific and terrifying.

"Awoo!"

A horrifying and piercing sound rang out, as if coming from the spirits of Nine Netherworld, as the seven Skull Blades merged into one. The gigantic blade, emitting a blood-red glow, seemed to have a skull leaping from within the light, causing a shudder to the onlooker’s psyche.

"Dodge it, don’t just stand there!" Zhang Yide shouted loudly when he saw Ye Tianchen standing still without moving an inch.

"Close your eyes!"

All they heard was these words from Ye Tianchen, when suddenly, he leaped into the air, the Fangtian Halberd in his right hand bursting with sparkling brilliance, shining so bright that it was unbearable to look at. Apart from Zhang Yide, everyone else, including Hei Mian and the two first-class assassins, could hardly bear it and closed their eyes.

"Kill!"

Ye Tianchen roared, and the Fangtian Halberd in his right hand struck, with the tip meeting the blade, hitting the united Skull Blade above. A huge firelight exploded in the air, and the powerful energy shockwave shattered all the surrounding walls of the Zhang family’s courtyard, also leaving varied-sized pits on the ground. Even a towering tree was nearly cleaved in half, a testament to the tremendous force of the collision between Ye Tianchen and Guitian Yilang.

"Ah!"

"No... Agh..."

Two screams followed by the commotion of battle. When everything settled down, Zhang Yide, Murong Yudou, Murong Xin, Zhang Ruotong, and Hei Mian all gasped in shock. They saw Ye Tianchen standing in front of Hei Mian, the Fangtian Halberd still in his right hand, dripping with blood, and two decapitated bodies lying at his feet.

These were the bodies of the remaining two first-class assassins. No one would have expected that, in the midst of the life-and-death duel between Ye Tianchen and Guitian Yilang, when blinding light made it impossible to see, Ye Tianchen would suddenly attack and kill the other two first-class assassins.

However, on Ye Tianchen’s left shoulder, there was a deep gash, so clear that one could see the white bone beneath. He wasn’t the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand Zhang Yide, having no super regenerative abilities, yet he still smiled and said to Guitian Yilang standing not far away, "All your men are dead. Can you kill all of us by yourself?"

"Young man, I advise you not to be too arrogant. You are skilled, but you are not unkillable!" In Guitian Yilang’s hand was also a Skull Blade, his left arm hanging down as if it had been broken.

"Shut the hell up, bastard. I am arrogant. What are you going to do about it, kill me?" Ye Tianchen looked at Guitian Yilang with disdain, hating such pretentious old fools the most.

"Good. I want to know your name. Anyone who dares to make an enemy of our Hokujo Ittoryu will die!" Guitian Yilang said, staring intently at Ye Tianchen.

"Ye Tianchen. Remember my grand name and crawl back to Japan. And another thing, I warn your Hokujo Ittoryu, no matter how thuggish you are, if you dare come and make trouble, I’ll slaughter you all!" Ye Tianchen said with a wry, sinister smile, staring back at Guitian Yilang. (To be continued.
