Chapter 462: Chapter 461: [An Invincible Heart]

"You... Impossible, it’s impossible. My cultivation is stronger than yours, and now after taking the genetic mutation drugs, my strength has increased by I don’t know how many times. How could you possibly defeat me..." Richuan Gangban bellowed from the ground, covered in blood, his right arm blown to smithereens.

Ye Tianchen hovered still in midair, not moving an inch. Tian Boguang’s Divine Movement Skill was very powerful, allowing not only traversing thousands of miles in a day but also Qi Manipulation Flight. Of course, for someone as powerful as Richuan Gangban or Ye Tianchen, flying high in the sky was nothing remarkable. Ordinary people never witnessed such beings capable of Qi Manipulation Flight, firstly because their whole lives were consumed by birth, aging, sickness, and death, completely unrelated to such powerful beings; and secondly, because Qi Manipulation Flight consumed some of the body’s energy – in a high-level battle, which could last for days and nights with the heavens shattering and earth splitting, even the tiniest bit of energy reserve could be pivotal to victory or defeat. So, who would frivolously fly for fun, depleting their body’s energy?

"You’ve lost, not in strength, but because you lack an invincible heart that dares to press forward. You only thought about relying on genetic mutation drugs, but they didn’t grant you true strength, it was all just a superficial phenomenon..." Ye Tianchen said indifferently, looking at Richuan Gangban.

Richuan Gangban was momentarily stunned, then crumpled to the ground, drenched in blood. The collision moments ago had propelled Ye Tianchen backward with a severe injury while he himself was flung away, crashing heavily into a mountain and shattering it – one could imagine the extent of his wounds.

At this moment, hearing Ye Tianchen’s words sank Richuan Gangban’s heart. As the most formidable among the young generation of the Northern Star Blade School, enveloped by countless auras and dubbed the successor to the Sword Emperor, how crazed and arrogant was he, how untouchable? Yet now, he had been defeated by a twenty-year-old Chinese youth, defeated by Ye Tianchen. His mind was filled with unbearable reluctance, but what of it? He had lost. Perhaps, as Ye Tianchen said, it wasn’t that his strength was insufficient, but that he lacked that invincible and daring heart. He had pinned all his hopes on the genetic mutation drugs, never contemplating defeating Ye Tianchen with his own might. It wasn’t Ye Tianchen who defeated him; he had defeated himself.

"Invincible heart, invincible heart... I, Richuan Gangban, am undefeated at any time!" Richuan Gangban howled to the sky, his vicious aura surging upward. The dark aura truly soared skyward, enveloping hundreds of meters around him, consuming all his life force.

"What’s the point of this?" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

"I’ve never lost, not once; so even if it means trading my life, I will kill you!" Richuan Gangban said coldly.

In that moment, Richuan Gangban dissolved all the genetic mutation drugs within his body. His vicious aura skyrocketed, burning away all his life force. He knew that doing so would undoubtedly lead to his death, but he wanted to rely on this last strike to kill Ye Tianchen. The pressure Ye Tianchen had put on him was immense. Before this battle, Richuan Gangban thought he could kill Ye Tianchen with a slap, yet he never imagined being pushed to such an extent by Ye Tianchen – driven to use his own life to strike.

"To think I, Richuan Gangban, always stood out within the Northern Star Blade School, looked up to by so many, only to be defeated by a Chinese - how ironic, laughable even!" Richuan Gangban sneered, as if delivering his final testament.

"You’re wrong. Chinese Martial Arts are inherently superior to your Japanese martial arts because they have been passed down for thousands of years – vast and profound, far beyond your comprehension. Fundamentally, you’ve lost!" Ye Tianchen said sharply.

"Lost? Hahaha, not yet..."

Suddenly, Richuan Gangban charged towards Ye Tianchen, his vicious aura bursting skyward. Before even reaching Ye Tianchen, everything around turned pitch dark with alarm, particularly as the vicious aura became more vigorous after absorbing life force.

Boom!

An explosion occurred. Richuan Gangban burst into a shower of blood – the consequence of ingesting genetic mutation drugs and forcefully burning up all his life force. Before he could make a move, the vicious aura had devoured all his life force, leaving not even a trace of bone behind, a gruesome death of his own doing.

Ye Tianchen, however, still remained alert. After devouring Richuan Gangban, the vicious aura transformed into a huge black spider that lunged at Ye Tianchen. Frowning, Ye Tianchen sensed that this malevolent force was far more powerful than Richuan Gangban. In any world, where there is darkness, there is light; where there is a force of justice, there will be a force of dark evil. These forces are invisible, only latching onto certain things. Just like a person who becomes evil, slowly consumed by an aura of malevolence until they are completely lost to it, becoming a puppet to evil, unable to extricate themselves. Richuan Gangban was now such a case. The genetic mutation drugs developed by Japan burned one’s life force to gain immense power instantly, but the energy of justice could never be attained in a mere instant – it had to be that of evil. Only evil energy could devour one’s body so severely.

Beep!

Two beams of golden light shot toward the massive black spider. Ye Tianchen felt the strength of this malevolent force. The more powerful the individual it consumed, the more formidable the force it acquired. Richuan Gangban was already strong, honestly speaking, in Ye Tianchen’s view, if Richuan Gangban had not been so arrogant, unable to withstand the slightest setback, and fought with all his might without taking genetic mutation drugs, it would not have been so easy to kill Richuan Gangban. As Ye Tianchen had said, Richuan Gangban lost because of his mentality; he had killed himself.

Golden Eyes!

One of Ye Tianchen’s powerful Slaughter Skills, it was said that it could penetrate the heavens and the earth. When truly at its Great Perfection, a single beam of golden light could destroy a galaxy. This wasn’t an exaggeration. A real Emperor-level Expert, invincible in the universe, would not be overstating it to say that they could cause the sun and the moon to fall with a single punch.

Boom, boom! Two loud bangs, two beams of golden light shot out, but the giant black spider managed to dodge them, only having two of its legs severed. Ye Tianchen also frowned; he had not expected this giant spider to be so difficult to deal with. He was already struggling to hold on—after all, Richuan Gangban was very strong. Not standing at the Peak of the Emperor-level Superpower Realm, not using the realm strength to fight across levels, Ye Tianchen’s own strength and realm were much lower than Richuan Gangban’s. It was impossible to annihilate him, and having sustained serious injuries himself, now facing this giant spider, a manifestation of evil energy that was even more formidable than Richuan Gangban, he was naturally having a tough time.

Hiss, hiss!

The giant black spider, having two of its legs cut off by Ye Tianchen, seemed enraged. It moved several legs simultaneously and reached Ye Tianchen in an instant, biting at him with its mouth.

"Damn, my body can’t move..." Ye Tianchen wanted to strike back, but he realized that the injuries were too severe. The consecutive uses of Superpower Killing Skills, having just used "Golden Eyes," had nearly depleted his internal strength. He could only watch as the giant black spider bit down towards him.

Bang!

In the nick of time, a figure rushed over and punched the giant spider on the top of its head, sending the spider flying. Ye Tianchen looked at the person standing before him, sensing that this individual was very powerful, so much so that he couldn’t see through him. Ye Tianchen had never seen this person before. His strength was definitely above Hei Mian’s. To send the evil energy-formed giant black spider flying with a single punch was something not even he, at full combat strength, could guarantee to achieve.

"Who are you..." Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

"You’re not worthy to know my name. I’m not here to save you. I just came to tell you that your strength is far from enough. You can’t even get through the Heavenly Gang Level warrior’s test!" said the muscular man standing in front of Ye Tianchen, not even sparing him a glance as he spoke disdainfully.

"Heavenly Gang Level warrior’s test? Haha, is that from the Heavenly Gang Level warriors team?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but laugh as he asked.

"Get lost, there’s nothing for you here anymore!" said the muscular man very unpleasantly.

Ye Tianchen stood up; his heart was filled with concern for his mother and younger sister, and he didn’t want to bother with the person before him. He turned around and used Divine Movement Skill to head towards his home. The strange muscular man gave Ye Tianchen a look, his eyes filled with disdain. If it weren’t for the task set by those above him, he might have made a move on Ye Tianchen.

"Coward. The captain thinks too highly of him..." the muscular man thought disdainfully to himself.

Just then, as he was turning around, Ye Tianchen glanced back at the muscular man and said, "Just wait, I will take on your Heavenly Gang Level warriors’ promotion test, and when I do, I’ll make some changes for you guys!"

"Hmph, feel free to come and get yourself killed any time!" The muscular man looked at Ye Tianchen and coldly sneered with contempt.

After speaking, Ye Tianchen did not linger. Despite being seriously injured, he couldn’t worry about that now. The Northern Star One-Blade School from Japan, those little devils, were all very strong. Since they had attacked his villa residence and the Ye family’s old house, they would definitely be able to find the Ye family’s villa. Now he didn’t know how his mother, younger sister, Qi Ruxue, and Alice, the four women, were doing? (To be continued.
