Chapter 2010: Chapter 2008: The Truly Shameless Person
Ye Tianchen was severely injured, but he managed to slay four powerful Demon Beasts in succession, all relying on the potential of his own body and an unyielding will. Only then could he kill these four powerful Demon Beasts with one fatal blow!
However, when it comes to being insidious, cunning, despicable, and shameless, the one among these opportunists who came to take advantage of him, the Golden-faced Young Master, was the most shameless and also the most powerful!
The Golden-faced Young Master saw through Ye Tianchen’s exhaustion and would only strike with full force the moment he got close to him. Because Ye Tianchen was inherently formidable, his sudden attack was not something ordinary people could withstand, so these four powerful Demon Beasts met their end without being able to take a single move from Ye Tianchen, ending in utter devastation!
But the Golden-faced Young Master was different. Seeing this, he opted for a long-range attack, swinging the golden fan Treasure in his hand, unleashing a powerful Power of Slaughter, which transformed into a golden blade light, blasting towards Ye Tianchen!
However, what the Golden-faced Young Master never expected was that Ye Tianchen’s palms struck with a powerful force, not only blocking the golden blade light but also reflecting it back towards him. The Golden-faced Young Master, no matter how he tried to use his power to resist, seemed to be of no avail, which left him shocked and pale. Could it be that he would really die under his own blade light?
"I refuse to believe you are this strong, stronger than me by so much!" the Golden-faced Young Master shouted, his whole body trembling as powerful forces surged from within him; he was determined to resist with all his might!
"So insidious and cunning, despicable and shameless. Even if I have to exhaust my last breath, I will shock-kill you!" Ye Tianchen said coldly, staring at the Golden-faced Young Master.
Buzz!
The Golden-faced Young Master was shocked and pale, as he had already unleashed all his power to block Ye Tianchen’s counterattack. Yet, facing Ye Tianchen’s might, he felt an immovable sensation because the force he had unleashed was so weak. That blade light he had shocked and killed out was already less than two meters from his head!
"You... you..." The Golden-faced Young Master was dazed, completely subdued, unable to speak for a long while!
"Despicable and shameless acts will face retribution sooner or later. This is the punishment you deserve!" Ye Tianchen said indifferently.
"No, no... don’t kill me, please don’t kill me!" Facing the fear of death, the Golden-faced Young Master had lost all his pride, begging for mercy.
"Had you not come here, you wouldn’t have to die. But your merciless, insidious, and cunning nature means you cannot be left alive!" Ye Tianchen said coldly.
"No, don’t kill me. I won’t oppose you anymore. I’m willing to be your servant, your slave!" The Golden-faced Young Master had only one thought now, to survive. As long as he could live, he would have another chance to kill Ye Tianchen. If he were to die now, there would be no opportunity for a comeback!
"Golden-faced Young Master, a strong figure among the young generation in the Barbaric Forbidden Land of East State, such a personality—arrogant and domineering, yet now in such a state. Do you have any pride left?" Ye Tianchen asked disdainfully.
"I-I... let me live, I want to live!" The Golden-faced Young Master’s face changed, but he still pleaded.
"Someone like you, letting you live is a disaster. It’s better for you to die!" Ye Tianchen said coldly.
"Don’t kill me, I am willing to serve like an ox or a horse!" the Golden-faced Young Master shouted in terror.
Ye Tianchen shook his head. In the Martial Arts World, there are too many who cling to life and fear death. It was beyond his expectations that the Golden-faced Young Master would be someone with no backbone. It seems that death is something that terrifies most beings, filling them with horror. No matter how steadfast, no matter how invincible they seem, when death truly arrives, facing utter destruction, they all collapse!
Crash!
Ye Tianchen mustered his last strength, countering, and slashed the golden blade light towards the Golden-faced Young Master’s head. Despite the Golden-faced Young Master’s pleas, Ye Tianchen did not halt because for someone as despicable and shameless as the Golden-faced Young Master, if he truly spared his life, he would turn against him. This was something beyond doubt and need not even be considered!
Poof!
Who would have thought, just as Ye Tianchen put all his might into striking to slay the Golden-faced Young Master, the Golden-faced Young Master appeared deathly pale, realizing his resistance was utterly futile. As he knelt on the ground in despair, Ye Tianchen suddenly felt a shudder in his spirit, spewing a mouthful of lifeblood. Instantly, his aura became exceedingly weak, and the feeling of death quickly enveloped him.
Boom!
Just a fraction away from cleaving the blade light onto the Golden-faced Young Master’s head, it shattered. The Golden-faced Young Master felt as if he’d traveled from hell to heaven. When he looked over at Ye Tianchen, he saw his face had turned deathly white, his aura so weak that he lacked even the strength to open his eyes!
"Hahaha, just a spent force! I doubt you’ll die now!" The Golden-faced Young Master stood up immediately, sweeping aside his earlier expression of groveling for mercy, and laughed heartily.
The Golden-faced Young Master was typically a bully who feared the strong and preyed on the weak, an avaricious coward. When faced with a stronger opponent, he had not a shred of backbone; he’d kneel and eat feces to stay alive if he must. When facing weaker opponents, he was arrogant, domineering, behaving as if he ruled the world!
Ye Tianchen frowned; he felt he couldn’t even muster the strength to open his eyes. Not only was his martial arts True Qi utterly depleted, but he also felt as if his life essence was draining away, startling him. It seemed his injuries were severe—perhaps more severe than any he’d ever suffered before!
The strike from a half-step Saint Realm, though not obliterating him completely, inflicted severe damage to his entire body. Whether it was meridians, flesh, or bones—everything, including his divine spirit, had suffered great shock. Given his attempts at action even in such a wounded state, he was overextending himself, now at a critical limit; he couldn’t continue depleting himself like this!
"You can come and fight me!" Ye Tianchen coldly stared at the Golden-faced Young Master and said.
"Hahaha, how ridiculous! You have no fighting power left, do you? Unable to fight me anymore, are you? I won’t even need to approach; a gentle palm strike will send you to the west!" The Golden-faced Young Master laughed, scornfully saying.
Bang!
The Golden-faced Young Master’s cruelty shone through as he struck a palm toward Ye Tianchen, his powerful palm force directly aiming at Ye Tianchen’s head. Ye Tianchen lifted his head, forcing his weakened body to move, attempting to launch a palm strike. However, when he slowly raised his hand and slapped out, he couldn’t muster any Martial Arts True Power. Worse, fresh blood flowed from his mouth even more fiercely; he truly was gravely injured, hovering at death’s edge!
"Will I really die here? At the hands of such a despicable man? Fate, the fate of the martial artist is always unpredictable..." Ye Tianchen bitterly smiled inside, watching the powerful palm force strike toward his head!
"Hmph, Ye Tianchen, no matter how great or gifted you are, you’ll still die at my hands, and those four demon beasts too! No one will know about the time I knelt and begged today. I will tell the world that I, the Golden-faced Young Master, slaughtered you all—I am strong!" The Golden-faced Young Master snorted coldly, his demeanor utterly vile as he spoke.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, just as the palm force was about to slam into Ye Tianchen, a graceful figure appeared before him. Like a woman’s silhouette, her face veiled, yet she exuded a familiar aura to Ye Tianchen!
Bang!
She was a woman dressed in fiery red, with a fiery red veil covering her face. Instantly, she struck out a palm, shattering the Golden-faced Young Master’s palm force aimed at Ye Tianchen.
"Hmm? Who are you? How dare you meddle with me, the Golden-faced Young Master. You’ve got a death wish!" Enraged, the Golden-faced Young Master wielded a golden fan, charging at the woman in red.
"Hmph, I, this Fairy, have no time to play with you. I’ll deal with you later!" The woman in red snorted coldly, waving her right hand. A powerful flame surged overwhelmingly toward the Golden-faced Young Master, forcing him to retreat!
At that moment, the woman in red flashed to Ye Tianchen’s side. Seeing him on the verge of closing his eyes, barely clinging to life, her heart ached slightly as she said softly, "I didn’t expect it to be you. I thought it wasn’t. Luckily, I came in time!"
"You are..." Before Ye Tianchen could finish his sentence, he really couldn’t hold on and fell unconscious.
The woman in red quickly supported Ye Tianchen. Seeing the Golden-faced Young Master recklessly charge again amidst the firelight, she couldn’t help but smile faintly, saying, "Golden-faced Young Master, you’ve really hit a sore spot this time! Ye Tianchen is a fearless man; once he recovers, he will undoubtedly kill you. The forces behind you can’t protect your life!" (To be continued.
