Chapter 461: Chapter 460 [Invincible in Mind, Invincible in Reality]

Capital City, 4:30 AM.

Two figures soared through the sky, shocking the astronomical telescope observers monitoring the airspace of Capital City so much that they hastily reported it to their superiors. Two people flying? And fighting while flying at that? What a bizarre sight!

Ye Tianchen had already taken several punches. After Richuan Gangban had consumed a gene mutation drug, he forcefully burned his life force, not only rapidly healing his injuries but also wildly boosting his combat strength. He hit Ye Tianchen so hard that Ye Tianchen spat out blood, breaking several ribs. However, Ye Tianchen firmly grasped Richuan Gangban’s shoulder with his left hand, never letting go because beneath them was Capital City. If the berserk Richuan Gangban were to land, he would undoubtedly go on a killing spree. Who knew how many innocent people would suffer or die as a result?

"I admit your strength is potent, and your physical body is also robust, but you’ve lost," Richuan Gangban said, seeing Ye Tianchen let himself be hit to prevent falling. "You’ve lost because you’re soft-hearted, striving to save unrelated people, at the cost of your own life." He had continued to hit Ye Tianchen, and a few more punches might end Ye Tianchen’s life. This young man from China was formidable, but his naivety was now his downfall.

Richuan Gangban was also quite surprised; despite having taken a gene mutation drug and going insane, his strength increased manifold, yet he still could not break free from Ye Tianchen’s left hand. Although he made Ye Tianchen bleed and break ribs with his punches, he had not managed to kill him. This made Richuan Gangban wonder just how strong this young man was? How could his body be so incredibly resilient?

Since the beginning of his cultivation, whether it had been during the apocalypse or since being reborn on Earth, Ye Tianchen had always placed great importance on body refinement. In his eyes, having a high cultivation realm was crucial, but so was having a robust physical body. It was simple logic to him; someone hits you, and your tough body withstands it, you don’t fall down. Then, with equal force, if the opponent’s body isn’t as robust, one punch from you could be lethal.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen couldn’t afford to speak. He felt the injuries inside his body, the surging of blood and turmoil in his organs was unbearable. He needed to get Richuan Gangban to a deserted place soon, or he might be killed right there in mid-air. The gene mutation medicine developed by Japan was formidable indeed; such a reckless style of fighting was a significant threat.

Boom!

Spurt!

Richuan Gangban showed no mercy. Hating Ye Tianchen to the bone, it was Ye Tianchen who had crushed his confidence, defeated him—the strongest young practitioner of the Beichen Sword Style—and forced him to take the gene mutation drug, burning his life force. Richuan Gangban wasn’t sure if he would end up like Sato, self-destructing after the drug’s effects wore off. Thus, even facing death, he intended to take Ye Tianchen down with him.

Ye Tianchen took another heavy punch from Richuan Gangban. He didn’t know if his actions were worth it; probably no one in Capital City knew that he was saving everyone there. With Richuan Gangban’s current berserk state, he had enough strength to destroy the entire city. Moreover, the gene mutation medicine in his body was still expanding and intensifying. Continuing like this, Ye Tianchen feared he might indeed be beaten to death in the skies above Capital City.

"Die!" Richuan Gangban roared with a ferocious laugh, having caught Ye Tianchen’s weak spot. Ye Tianchen was virtually helpless, unable to fight back or spare the energy. Wasn’t this just waiting to be killed?

Boom!

Ye Tianchen and Richuan Gangban exchanged a palm strike, and suddenly, Ye Tianchen grabbed Richuan Gangban’s right shoulder, roared, and with all his strength, grabbed Richuan Gangban’s shoulders with both hands, spinning in the air and flinging Richuan Gangban into the distance.

Richuan Gangban hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to use this move, and to his surprise, he was thrown thousands of meters forward, showing just how strong Ye Tianchen was. This wasn’t an exaggeration; Ye Tianchen had long stood at the peak of the Emperor-level Superpower Realm, even battling above his level, and flinging Richuan Gangban thousands of meters still hadn’t achieved the effect he wanted.

Now, Ye Tianchen and Richuan Gangban had reached the edge of the Capital City area, and with Ye Tianchen flinging Richuan Gangban another few thousand meters, they were essentially safe, sparing the people of Capital City from fearing that Richuan Gangban might crash down and go on a rampage.

"Your strength indeed exceeds my expectations, but I will definitely kill you!" Richuan Gangban glanced down; he had reached the outskirts of Capital City, a deserted area with a large forest and two tall mountains on either side.

"Cut the crap!"

Ye Tianchen charged immediately. In the process, he had some ribs broken by Richuan Gangban and suffered serious internal injuries. Now released, he was determined to strike hard. Richuan Gangban had ingested the gene mutation drug and was still growing stronger; delaying even a minute would make Richuan Gangban stronger due to the gene mutation drug. Ye Tianchen could not afford to delay, and he punched at Richuan Gangban with all his might.

Boom!

Richuan Gangban met the Beichen Palm head-on. The two men clashed fiercely, both sent flying several meters back. This was Ye Tianchen’s first encounter with a boundary-crossing battle. Richuan Gangban had consumed the genetic mutation medicine, leading to a massive collision between them.

"Hmph, I see if you can survive this!" Richuan Gangban laughed loudly, his eyes bloodshot. The punch just now hadn’t sent him flying like Ye Tianchen had, and he no longer felt powerless to retaliate like before. He felt he had grown stronger and wouldn’t lose to Ye Tianchen. He completely failed to realize that this was due to the genetic mutation medicine playing tricks. Once its effects wore off, what awaited him could be self-destruction.

Boom!

A shield made of gold charged toward Richuan Gangban, Ye Tianchen summoning his "Golden Divine Shield." This was a mighty Superpower Skill. Facing someone inherently powerful, hailed as the strongest young warrior of the Beichen sword school in Japan and who had now consumed the genetic mutation medicine, this medicine was quite sinister, capable of burning one’s life force to momentarily enhance one’s strength.

"Do you think this will stop me?"

Richuan Gangban shouted loudly as he struck the Golden Divine Shield with his palm. With a tremendous noise, the shield was shattered by Richuan Gangban’s bare hands. He became the first to destroy Ye Tianchen’s Golden Divine Shield, but before Richuan Gangban could rejoice, Ye Tianchen had already unleashed several punches. The originally purple energy of the Thunder Sky Fist had now turned golden.

Bang, bang, bang...

Ye Tianchen fought fiercely, his fists flying continuously without uttering a word. Richuan Gangban had also taken the genetic mutation medicine and burned his life force, significantly boosting his strength. The two were evenly matched in their fierce confrontation.

Boom!

The tremendous explosion would have devastated Capital City if they had not been far from there. If not for Ye Tianchen forcibly taking Richuan Gangban to this deserted area, risking his own life, he might have caused rivers of blood in Capital City.

"Ah!" Richuan Gangban roared, his body trembling. The strength from burning his life compelled Ye Tianchen to frown. Even with such cultivation and going all out in this battle, he was still unable to instantly defeat Richuan Gangban. The masters of Japan’s Beichen Sword School were indeed formidable.

"I will kill you, I will kill your entire family..." Richuan Gangban glared at Ye Tianchen, roaring fiercely.

"You can’t kill me, you’ve already lost!" Ye Tianchen said calmly.

"Lost? I, Richuan Gangban, have never lost before, and I won’t now or ever. I will crush you like a bug!" Richuan Gangban’s palms surged with True Power, the energy dispersing and vibrating the space around him.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

A giant black palm struck towards Ye Tianchen, who met it with an unflinching gaze and unwavering resolve, responding with the same punch as before. At this moment, no combat techniques or dodging mattered. To decide a winner and kill the opponent quickly, this was the only way to do it.

To say Ye Tianchen wasn’t worried about his mother, sister, Qi Ruxue, and Alice would be impossible. Despite having a backup plan, if a powerful master from the Beichen Sword School, or even the Sword Emperor’s own brother Songben Xiajian, were to appear, no one could handle the backup, and it wouldn’t hold. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but be anxious; he wanted to quickly vanquish Richuan Gangban to free himself to rush back to save his family.

Bang!

The outskirts of Capital City, including the forest and two small mountains, were all illuminated. It wasn’t moonlight but the light from the energy collision. Ye Tianchen was sent flying backward, his body drenched in blood. He gritted his teeth to endure. He knew the strength of Richuan Gangban and could guess that of Songben Xiajian. Still, he was undaunted as his eyes only spelled "sweep everything, belief invincible." (To be continued.
