Chapter 553: Chapter 552: 【Confronting Li San】

Bang!

Ye Tianchen swiftly threw a punch, using the Divine Movement Skill, at the empty wall beside him. The punch was incredibly fast. Initially, nothing could be seen on the wall, but after Ye Tianchen’s strike, a silhouette appeared, clinging to the wall like a gecko, secretly observing Ye Tianchen and waiting for an opportunity to attack. Unfortunately, he met a tragic end. Ye Tianchen’s punch was so fast that the man couldn’t dodge it; almost as soon as he saw Ye Tianchen disappear, he was struck by the punch.

The powerful punch hit the hidden man in the chest, smashing right through the wall. The man was flung outward, while Ye Tianchen wore no expression. The next moment, he vanished from his original spot and leaped into the air, his doubled fists creating a series of loud explosions in the air.

When Ye Tianchen landed, his left hand rested in his pants pocket, and he pulled out a cigarette with his right hand and lit it up, taking a drag. Just as he inhaled, two figures fell from the sky, already half-dead and completely devoid of their fighting spirit.

With just three punches, he had eliminated three experts hidden in this secluded courtyard. Yet, Ye Tianchen showed no change in emotions. He knew these weren’t his main adversaries. The people who wanted to deal with him hadn’t appeared yet, but he was patient, just as they were.

"I do kill, you’d better tell the truth!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile to the two men lying on the ground.

"We, we don’t know anything." One man struggled to rise, but having been severely beaten by Ye Tianchen’s punches, his bones were shattered at the points of impact, removing any chance of fighting back.

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen’s punch reached the man’s forehead but didn’t smash down. However, the stone slab behind the man’s head was shattered, and fresh blood gushed from his mouth and nose, causing him to tremble all over. Many might not fear death, but when it really approaches, it frightens them, as life is only given once.

Puff!

"Don’t... I..."

"Got something to say? Then speak, or you’ll no longer have the chance!" Ye Tianchen still wore a smile.

The man glanced at Ye Tianchen, his inner defenses collapsing. Facing a seemingly twenty-year-old man, whose skills were so formidable that he couldn’t block even one punch, it wasn’t a joke. He truly had the nerve to kill, even if the man was under Li San’s command, he would dare to kill.

All three capable men were Li San’s subordinates and managers of the Liu family estate. They were skilled and practiced a special Absolute Skill, the long-lost "Invisibility Technique." Although it sounds powerful and mystical, it merely covers a person in a dark substance at night, camouflaging them. True Invisibility Technique, however, enables one to conceal oneself under any circumstances.

"Yes, Manager Li San sent us to kill you!" the man finally couldn’t help but tell the truth.

"Thank you. Where is Li San?" Ye Tianchen still smiled as he asked.

"In the, in the manager’s office."

"Be more specific..."

"After you go out, turn right, and about two hundred meters away, you’ll get there!"

After learning the facts, and hearing this last statement, Ye Tianchen turned and left. He didn’t kill the three men who had tried to ambush him, feeling no need to. The real obstacle was Li San. As for why Li San would do this, if it had been the old Ye Tianchen, he might not have understood. But the current Ye Tianchen certainly did. Simply put, Li San was narrow-minded and arrogant, believing that Ye Tianchen, who had transcended and recently made big moves in Capital City, was coming to the Liu family to settle scores, especially since Li San had been the one who had beaten Ye Tianchen nearly to death and humiliated him back then.

At that time, the Ye family’s position was absolutely incomparable to the Liu family’s, even now still slightly inferior. There was no need for anyone from the Liu family to get involved personally; Manager Li San alone was enough. This was the gap in positions, and so Li San alone took on the task of verbally humiliating and physically beating Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen walked leisurely out of the courtyard, turning right. As he rounded the corner, he saw a building ahead, still lit. The tremendous killing aura emanating from inside brought a slight smile to Ye Tianchen’s lips. Li San was very powerful, especially known for his "Monument Pushing Hand" palm technique, which was lethal once deployed. Ye Tianchen knew of Li San’s prowess, hence he wanted to confront Li San himself. Ye Tianchen wasn’t one to stir up trouble, but he was no longer a pushover that could be easily manipulated.

At this moment, Li San, who was still seated in the room drinking tea, couldn’t help but frown slightly. It had been almost an hour, and his three trusted subordinates had yet to report back. Could something have happened?

Thinking of this, Li San became slightly restless, but upon further contemplation, he calmed down. He had enough confidence in these three men; their skills were not weak, with at least all being at the early and mid-stages of Martial King, and one of them even reached the peak strength of a late-stage Martial King. They were indeed formidable and had also received some instructions in the Monument Pushing Hand from him, which made them even more powerful. Li San thought that even if Ye Tianchen was strong, he couldn’t possibly be a match for these three. Perhaps they were teaching Ye Tianchen a fierce lesson right now. After thinking for a while, Li San reassured himself.

Actually, it was only about two hundred meters away. Why didn’t Li San take action himself? Why didn’t he go to check if he felt uneasy? There was only one reason, and that was Li San thought it beneath him to act personally. Ye Tianchen was not yet worthy of making Li San take him on himself. Plainly speaking, it was a matter of pride.

Bang!

The entire door of the room Li San was in got kicked and flew straight towards him. Startled, Li San slapped it away, shattering the iron door into pieces, with merely a casual palm strike. It was evident he hadn’t used his full strength; yet, the power of this palm strike was immense.

"It’s been a few years, hasn’t it? Your Monument Pushing Hand has quite the strength!"

"You... Ye Tianchen?" Li San was still somewhat shocked, not expecting Ye Tianchen to actually stand before him.

"What, didn’t expect it to be me? Manager Li, isn’t it time you treated me to some late-night snack?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Li San frowned deeply. He hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to actually make it to him. This meant his three reliable subordinates hadn’t managed to handle Ye Tianchen. Seeing Ye Tianchen completely unharmed, without a scratch, only intensified Li San’s shock. Could it be that his three powerful subordinates hadn’t even landed a single blow before being taken down by Ye Tianchen?

Li San couldn’t help but believe the reality before his eyes. Ye Tianchen was indeed standing there, unharmed. Whether he believed it or not, he had to accept it.

"Ye Tianchen, I really want to kill you right now!" Li San said coldly.

"I’m afraid you can’t!" Ye Tianchen still answered with a smile.

"Years haven’t seen, you’ve indeed changed a bit. Sadly, in my eyes, Li San, you are nothing, nothing at all!" Li San said, staring intently at Ye Tianchen.

"I came here this time just to see Liu Rumei, I need to speak with her. Giving me trouble here might just backfire on you," Ye Tianchen said, shaking his head.

"Hmph, thinking it will backfire on me? You’re overestimating yourself. I’m not just anyone; I say I’m going to kill you, and I’ll do just that." Li San’s right hand formed into a palm, already gathering powerful Inner Strength.

"Then, I’m sorry, but I’m not the Ye Tianchen of before. I say I’m going to see someone, and I will see them!"

No sooner had Ye Tianchen finished speaking than Li San vanished from his spot, his speed extremely fast. By the time Ye Tianchen had reacted, he only felt a strong palm wind coming straight at his face, aimed directly at his head. He could clearly feel that if this strike landed, he wouldn’t die, but he could become crippled, with his head likely exploding on impact.

Bang!

Punch met palm. Facing Li San’s strike, Ye Tianchen did not step back an inch, his right hand clenched tightly, unleashing Thunder Sky Fist, meeting Li San’s palm. After a muffled thunder, both men stood still, Ye Tianchen furrowing his brows, Li San taken aback.

"Ah!"

Li San suddenly shouted loudly, the power in his palm surging mightily, forcing Ye Tianchen out of the room, continuously retreating backward. Ye Tianchen was startled; Li San’s strength was truly great. After the standoff between them had jolted neither a step back, now Li San’s sudden exertion of strength had pushed him back. The Monument Pushing Hand was known for its immense power to destroy anything, and it seemed its reputation was well-earned. In terms of strength alone, Ye Tianchen might indeed be slightly weaker than Li San.

Bang bang bang... Ye Tianchen kept retreating, Li San continuously exerted force with his right hand trying to blast Ye Tianchen out. Explosion sounds echoed in the corridors, caused by their combined punch and palm force scattering everywhere.
