Chapter 456: Chapter 455 [Richuan Gangban’s Strength is Strong]

Ye Tianchen lived alone in a villa, where Xiao Ya was sound asleep in her bedroom. With such a huge disturbance, Xiao Ya was still sleeping soundly. Richuan Gangban had already rushed into Xiao Ya’s room, holding the Japanese samurai sword in his right hand, crouching at the window motionless, vigilantly scanning the surroundings. The sword light just a moment ago had almost taken his life, almost splitting his head open. The might of that Sword Qi had also left Richuan Gangban extremely alarmed.

"Ye Tianchen, you coward, only know how to launch sneak attacks, don’t dare to come out and fight me fairly?" Richuan Gangban shouted loudly.

Yet, a long time had passed since Richuan Gangban spoke, and still no one responded to him. The inside of the house remained very quiet, with only the moonlight shining in, making it hard to see what was in the corners. This made Richuan Gangban even more cautious, because those formidable Sword Qi attacks had come from the corners, very powerful, easily slaughtering his two subordinates. These two men were among the thirty from the Qian Jun Blade Faction this time, both very skilled, but against such Sword Qi, they stood no chance and ended up decapitated. As Richuan Gangban himself, the strongest young master of the Qian Jun Blade Faction, had already mastered the Blade Skill to an intermediate level, he had still needed to strike three times to neutralize such fierce Sword Qi, how could it not alarm him?

It was precisely because Richuan Gangban had swung three slashes that he had neutralized that fierce Sword Qi, which made him even more certain that if he fought Ye Tianchen, he could definitely kill him, at most it would just cost a bit more effort. Richuan Gangban also subconsciously determined that Ye Tianchen was hiding inside this room, possibly in a corner of the bedroom. That fierce Sword Qi must have been Ye Tianchen launching a sneak attack on him.

"Hmph, scared to death, aren’t you? You little bastard, don’t think I can’t kill you just because you are hiding in the corner. Let me tell you the truth, there’s no one in this world that I, Richuan Gangban, can’t kill!" Richuan Gangban snorted coldly and said harshly.

As Richuan Gangban said this, it was actually to calm himself down and motivate himself. At this moment, he was already a bit panicked. He hadn’t seen the person yet, but had already witnessed such fierce Sword Qi. Although he could neutralize it with the Qian Jun Blade Skill, he still didn’t know how strong Ye Tianchen was. Just these few Sword Qi had really frightened him.

Having waited a long time with no one responding to him, Richuan Gangban was so furious that his eyes turned blood-red, and his killing intent pervaded. He thought Ye Tianchen was just hiding in the corner using sneaky tactics and dared not show himself. Ye Tianchen also didn’t respond to his words, which Richuan Gangban took as an immense disrespect. As the strongest of the young generation of the Qian Jun Blade Faction, it dealt a heavy blow to Richuan Gangban’s prideful ego, so he clenched his teeth and charged over with his samurai sword.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The Blade Skill of the Qian Jun was indeed powerful, as each swing by Richuan Gangban sent out crescent-shaped Blade Energy, shattering everything. No wonder when the Qian Jun Blade Faction once challenged Shaolin and Wudang, although they were defeated, many of the older generation in the Ancient Martial World still praised them. Although those little bastards deserved to be killed, one had to admit that the Blade Skill of Qian Jun was formidable.

Whoosh!

After slashing out three powerful Blade Energies, Richuan Gangban had just charged towards the corner of the bedroom from where the Sword Qi was emitted, otherwise, he really wouldn’t have dared to charge over.

Whoosh!

Another Sword Qi slashed out, shattering Richuan Gangban’s three Blade Energies but also neutralizing that Sword Qi. At that moment, Richuan Gangban had already reached the corner from where the Sword Qi was emitted, and was stunned to find no one there, just a sword!

Indeed, in the corner of Xiao Ya’s bedroom, there was a sword standing upright, occasionally trembling, making Richuan Gangban quickly retreat a few steps as if Sword Qi could burst out at any moment. The untouchable, untouchable might of it terrified Richuan Gangban.

"This sword...what kind of sword is it to have such might?" Richuan Gangban said fiercely.

At that moment, Richuan Gangban was extremely enraged, never having imagined that what he thought was Ye Tianchen hiding in the corner launching a sneak attack on him turned out to be just a sword, an uncontrolled sword at that, which had killed his two highly skilled subordinates, and had almost killed him as well. How could Richuan Gangban not be humiliated? He had never dreamed in his life that a single sword could force him, the strongest of the young masters of the Qian Jun Blade Faction, into such a state.

"Just a sword, just a sword, I’ll see how formidable you are..."

Suddenly, Richuan Gangban roared loudly, almost crazily, and slashed at the sword standing in the corner, striking it directly on its blade.

Clang!

Bang!

Sword Qi burst forth immediately upon contact. When Richuan Gangban’s blade struck the blade of the sword standing in the corner, a massive surge of Sword Qi erupted from it. Richuan Gangban, seeing this, immediately tried to press down with his katana, but to his shock, he heard a crisp snap; his Japanese military katana had broken. At the same time, the Sword Qi sent him flying...

Richuan Gangban fell to the ground with no serious injuries, stood up covered in dust and dirt, his eyes bloodshot, filled with murderous rage. It was humiliating for him, known as the strongest young master of Beichen’s Katana Style, to be sent flying by a mere sword. It was a disgrace beyond measure. It could be understood that Ye Tianchen hadn’t even shown up. He had merely left a sword in the villa, that killed two of Beichen’s skilled swordsmen and Richuan Gangban couldn’t even touch it. The thought was too humiliating.

What Richuan Gangban didn’t know was that he was already quite formidable. The sword standing in the corner of Xiao Ya’s bedroom was not an ordinary sword; it was the Taie Sword. Ye Tianchen had left the Taie Sword in the villa to protect Xiao Ya, just in case—an unforeseen situation had indeed arisen, and it proved useful.

In fact, Ye Tianchen had thought of this when he left the villa with Hei Mian. So when he returned, he quietly placed the Taie Sword in Xiao Ya’s bedroom and infused it with his origin power while also protecting Xiao Ya with a superpower skill, ensuring that such loud disturbances wouldn’t reach her ears, thanks to the minimized use of the Superpower Isolation Net.

It must be said that Richuan Gangban was truly exceptional. The Taie Sword, one of the ancient ten Divine Swords, possessed tremendous power. It had been subdued by Ye Tianchen, who could integrate power from the origin into it. Such might was hard to withstand, yet Richuan Gangban managed to destroy the Sword Qi of the Taie Sword with only three strikes. He indeed had the right to be proud.

But now, Richuan Gangban’s untouchable pride was deeply wounded. He had always believed that killing Ye Tianchen would be effortless and that he would earn the greatest credit in this operation by Beichen’s Katana Style. He had thought that Ye Tianchen’s head would definitely be chopped off by him, but until now, he hadn’t even seen Ye Tianchen and had narrowly escaped death himself. Thinking of this, Richuan Gangban was nearly exploding with rage.

"Ye Tianchen, Ye Tianchen, I will kill you!"

Richuan Gangban, unstoppable in his rage, had already broken his Japanese katana. He threw the remaining half onto the ground. Clenching his fists, his whole body surged with True Power, immensely powerful, and he lunged for the Taie Sword.

Hum!

The Taie Sword shook, emitting a strong force, and clashed hard with Richuan Gangban’s palms, filled with Inner Strength True Power. Richuan Gangban clenched his teeth. He hadn’t expected that merely taking the sword would be so difficult. He slapped his left hand against the wall to support his body and reached for the Taie Sword’s hilt with his right hand.

Crack!

After all, the Taie Sword was uncontrolled, running solely on a bit of Ye Tianchen’s origin power inside. As long as there was a strong force appearing inside Xiao Ya’s bedroom, the Taie Sword would automatically attack and suppress it. Richuan Gangban’s cultivation was indeed strong enough to grasp the Taie Sword.

"Huh?" Richuan Gangban tried to lift the Taie Sword. Finding it as heavy as Qian Jun, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. He of course did not know it was one of the ancient ten swords, Taie Sword. He was just surprised how difficult it was to handle the sword and realized that killing Ye Tianchen would not be easy.

"Aah!"

Richuan Gangban used about seventy percent of his strength to finally lift the Taie Sword. Looking at the Taie Sword in his hands, Richuan Gangban’s unshakable pride swelled again. He sneered fiercely, "Ye Tianchen, you think you can kill me with just a sword? You are nothing special!"

At that moment, Richuan Gangban, holding the Taie Sword, forcibly suppressed it with his own True Power. He glanced at Xiao Ya who was still deeply asleep on the bed and noticed that the whole bedside was shrouded with a strong energy field, seemingly protecting the sleeping girl inside. At once, Richuan Gangban’s lips curled into a cruel smirk. He held the Taie Sword with his left hand and extended the middle and index fingers of his right hand, poking at the protective energy field around Xiao Ya.

Pop!

The miniaturized Superpower Isolation Net used by Ye Tianchen was breached by Richuan Gangban. Looking at Xiao Ya, sleeping peacefully and looking beautifully innocent, Richuan Gangban couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He then spoke coldly and lasciviously, "Ye Tianchen, your greatest tragedy is thinking that a mere sword could protect your woman. Now I will have your woman, and see what you can do about it..."
