With a single breath, Ye Tianchen unleashed one thousand eight hundred punches, bombarding the Snake King Seal relentlessly. Each punch was accompanied by the roar of a Golden Dragon Sky Roar. This was Ye Tianchen employing the Absolute Skill within the "Vajra Divine Fist", managing to force the Mount Tai-like huge Snake King Seal to fly upward bit by bit, stunning everyone present speechless.

Not to mention the "Vajra Divine Fist", even a regular punch from a Martial Artist consumes Martial Arts True Power. A person’s internal Martial Arts True Power is limited, and it is impossible to use Absolute Divine Skills continuously; otherwise, everyone would be invincible. However, Ye Tianchen’s body seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of Martial Arts Power. He swung out one thousand eight hundred punches without showing any signs of exhaustion, which was unimaginable in terms of the vastness of his internal Martial Arts True Power. Could it be a source of Martial Arts Power?

"Impossible, impossible... I, on the verge of becoming a Dragon, the Snake King, how could I be defeated by a mere cultivator at the Martial Venerate Stage? I will devour you!"

The huge snake’s head perched atop the Snake King Seal finally snapped back to reality. Its descending momentum had been forcibly blocked by Ye Tianchen, and the Mount Tai-like Snake King Seal was clearly being knocked back, something the huge snake’s head could not tolerate. With its own pride and dignity, becoming a Snake King close to transforming into a dragon wasn’t something that could be subdued easily. It was the Fiery Flame Banner’s Great Elder, who, after battling for seven days and nights in the past, sustained severe injuries and suffered a significant drop in his cultivation realm, confining him to a life of immobility. It was with such a heavy cost that he had slain the Snake King.

Now, a Mid Martial Venerate cultivator like Ye Tianchen, using only his bare fists, had forced the Snake King into a retreat. The Snake King was furious, unable to endure this humiliation, and opened its gigantic maw to bite towards Ye Tianchen.

"Let your form and spirit be destroyed, you ant!" shouted Du Wanli, unable to contain his rage, even before the Snake King could speak.

The "Vajra Divine Fist" from Ye Tianchen was terrifying, not only to Dongfang Meng and Tianshuang, but even to Du Wanli, who was arrogantly waiting for the Snake King Seal to kill Ye Tianchen and considered him an ant. They all felt a chilling fear. They had never anticipated Ye Tianchen’s battle power to far exceed his cultivation realm. Tianchen seemed to be at the Middle-Stage of Martial Venerate in cultivation realm but possessed the battle power of the Peak of Late Martial Venerate, especially the seemingly inexhaustible Martial Arts True Power within him was frightfully impressive.

"Perfect timing... Vajra Divine Fist!"

With a thunderous yell, Ye Tianchen struck simultaneously with both fists, sweeping everything before them with two beams of golden light, directly bombarding the huge snake’s head.

Bang thud!

A Blood Mist exploded in the sky, and the Snake King Seal was flung away, reduced to the size of a palm, having lost all its original oppressive power. Only half of the huge snake’s head remained in mid-air, dripping with blood and emitting a foul stench, looking extremely nauseating.

The half-remaining snake’s head, with a fierce expression and its snake eyes emitting a cold light, looked at Ye Tianchen in utter amazement and said, "The inheritance of Yijin Jing, you’ve obtained the Supreme Profound Skill of Yijin Jing, no wonder you can unleash power beyond your cultivation realm. Truly unexpected."

"You see others as mere ants, but do you not realize that you are also an ant?" Ye Tianchen clenched his fists, his body covered in blood, and questioned sternly.

"Useless thing, what are you standing around for, continue and kill him for me!" Du Wanli also snapped back from his shock, coldly looking at Ye Tianchen and shouting.

At that moment, the half-face of the enormous snake’s head glanced at Ye Tianchen, then at Du Wanli, and suddenly, its massive head turned towards Du Wanli and bit at him, with blood also splashing onto Du Wanli.

Ye Tianchen, Dongfang Meng, and Tianshuang were all stunned. They hadn’t expected that at the final moment, the Snake King would attack not them but its master-like Du Wanli. However, on reflection, it made sense. The Snake King had battled the Five Poison Sect’s Great Elder, Poison Saint for seven days and nights. Eventually, Poison Saint was gravely injured and fell from the highest cultivation realm, forever unable to advance further, and the Snake King was killed and refined into this seal for hundreds of years. It shared an irreconcilable hatred with the Five Poison Sect, and now, it only wanted to liberate its Divine Thought and soul from eternal bondage. Naturally, it needed to kill Du Wanli.

Du Wanli hadn’t expected the Snake King to suddenly turn on him, and the scene of poisonous gas filling the sky left even him, who had lived among various deadly creatures since childhood, feeling his heart race. No wonder the Great Elder had warned him to be careful of the Snake King’s backlash; it would not stop until it had its way.

All became quiet, this realm of heaven and earth fell silent. Ye Tianchen stood in mid-air, covered in blood, having swung one thousand eight hundred punches. Even though his body was surging with Martial Arts Power, it was somewhat overwhelming, and the oppressive power of the Snake King Seal pressing down was unimaginable. His body was drenched in blood, yet he was radiating golden light. At this moment, his fighting will was indomitable; no one could defeat him. In his heart, he was invincible.

Eastern Meng and Tianshuang, too, were staring blankly into the sky, where Ye Tianchen, covered in blood, still stood unfaltering, seemingly still having the strength for another fight. His potential, his unfathomable depth, was truly startling. Nearby, a massive floating half-snake head swallowed Du Wanli into the air, instantly surrounded by countless clouds of poisonous gas and venom. Du Wanli was too close and hadn’t managed to react before being consumed by the half-snake head of the Snake King.

"Liberated, finally liberated. For hundreds of years, I’ve thought of nothing but freeing myself, old Du Jue, you could never have dreamed that I would devour your Five Poison Sect’s Saint Heir, causing your sect to lose a candidate for Sect Leader?" The half-snake head looked fearsome to the extreme, capable of scaring someone to death with its constantly dripping blood that quickly melted a small hill on the ground, creating a bottomless pit. No one dared underestimate its corrosive ability.

Bang!

The half-snake head exploded, Ye Tianchen quickly retreated; the scope and power of this energy were too vast, he dared not face it head-on. A figure burst out from within the half-snake head, turning it into mush that scattered in the air, utterly disgusting.

"A mere snake demon daring to show off, don’t you see who I, Du Wanli, am!" Du Wanli said with supreme arrogance, disdainfully looking at the scattered pieces of flesh, unfurling the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner in his right hand, the white skull at its crest flickering with a ghostly glow, adding an oddly eerie atmosphere.

"The Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner..." The Snake King’s remaining Divine Sense looked in fear at the large banner in Du Wanli’s right hand.

"A mere worm, serving me is an honor!"

Swish!

With a flick of the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner in Du Wanli’s hand, all the surrounding flesh was reduced to ash, not a speck of dust was left. A snake that was almost a dragon, with tempestuously fierce prowess, was thus shock killed utterly, stunning Ye Tianchen, Eastern Meng, and Tianshuang; the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner was simply too powerful, utterly unstoppable.

"Now, it’s your turn. Do you choose utter destruction or soul dispersal? Choose for yourselves!" Du Wanli coldly asked Ye Tianchen.

"Bullying the weak because of your position, but fearful of the strong," Ye Tianchen coldly said, "If you didn’t have the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, I’d crush you as simply as stepping on an ant!"

"Hmph, idle talk is pointless. This is a world of the survival of the fittest, a world of the victor king and the vanquished loser. Only those who remain alive have the right to speak, and I will be the one who survives!" Du Wanli retorted with a cold snort.

"Release them, and let us have a fair fight, what do you say?" Ye Tianchen asked gravely.

"A fair fight? Why should I bother with a fair fight with you? Are you worthy? With just a flick of my banner, you would be utterly destroyed. Why should I waste my Martial Arts True Power?" Du Wanli disdainfully replied.

"Are you afraid?" Ye Tianchen asked with a cold laugh.

"Afraid? Whether I am afraid or not, I can kill you. In any case, none of you will leave here alive today!" Du Wanli roared menacingly.

Ye Tianchen frowned, he hadn’t expected Du Wanli to be so shameless, so despicable, such a coward, not even having the courage to fight fairly with someone a whole cultivation realm lower than himself. It seems Du Wanli is someone very lacking in confidence and cannot handle even a hint of failure. Such a person is destined not to last long on the path of cultivation; all his bravado is mere pretense, merely bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Even on the outskirts of Sun Never Sets Mountain, terrified, he had groveled on the ground like a dog, begging for mercy, but here he boasted and domineered, thinking he was above everyone else with the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner in hand. Such people are pitiful and pathetic; without his support, his own cultivation strength cannot manifest, because he lacks an invincible Taoist heart.

However, Ye Tianchen was now becoming concerned. Du Wanli, with the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner in hand, could easily shock kill a being like the Snake King to dust. With his current Cultivation Battle Power, a direct confrontation with the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner was impossible. He now only thought of keeping Eastern Meng and Tianshuang, the two women, safe; whether he himself could escape, was unknown.

"Then let us two men fight, this matter is between us and has nothing to do with them!" Ye Tianchen stepped forward, his body radiant with Golden Light, ready for a great battle. (To be continued.
