Free Web NovelChapter 2018: Chapter 2016: Carrying Serious Injuries, Continuing the Battle
Huo Xun was not a direct lineage inheritor of the Ancient Fire God Bloodline. He had always harbored the intention of overthrowing the Ancient Fire God Bloodline and seizing control of the Fire God Sacred Land. This was actually not hard to understand; in many Cultivation Major Sects and Cultivation Families, the internal struggles were extremely intense, and such things had long since become commonplace!
However, when it came to their understanding of Huo Litian, it was not only Ye Tianchen who had to reevaluate him—even Huo Xianer had to do the same. In Huo Xianer’s eyes, her eldest senior brother Huo Litian was a young-generation expert of extraordinary talent and profound Cultivation Realm. Yet he possessed flaws such as arrogance, overbearing dominance, and a narrow mind. These shortcomings were not enough to make Huo Xianer disappointed in Huo Litian. What truly disappointed her was that she had never imagined her eldest senior brother Huo Litian would be such a ruthless and vicious person—within the span of a breath he was about to kill her. This alone showed that Huo Litian was vicious to the core!
Given Huo Xianer’s current Cultivation Realm and combat strength, she indeed could not match Huo Litian. Just as Huo Litian struck out viciously, not hesitating to kill Huo Xianer, the Samadhi True Fire was blasted aside. The one who stood in front of Huo Xianer was Ye Tianchen!
"You... your injuries..." Huo Xianer asked in surprise, with some concern as well.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I just want you to understand that these two are no longer people of your Fire God Sacred Land. Their ambition, their ruthlessness, means they are no longer your fellow Disciples!" Ye Tianchen said as he looked at Huo Xianer.
Bang!
A powerful palm force, carrying Fire light, blasted over. Ye Tianchen smiled faintly and did not evade; he simply let Huo Litian’s palm slap directly onto his body!
Bang-dong!
With a loud boom, when Huo Litian’s Flame Palm slapped onto Ye Tianchen’s body, he actually felt as if he had been shaken and sent flying on the spot. Huo Litian couldn’t help but retreat a few steps, while Ye Tianchen stood where he was, unmoving!
"You... your injuries healed so quickly?" Huo Litian asked in surprise.
"No. But in my current state, it’s more than enough to defeat you. Oh, old man, do you want to join in as well?" Ye Tianchen glanced at Huo Xun not far away and asked with a smile.
"You’re just forcing yourself to hold on, nothing more than a spent crossbow. There’s no way you can be a match for Litian—you’re not worth me personally taking action!" The Fire God Sacred Land’s Supreme Elder, Huo Xun, said disdainfully.
Ye Tianchen cast a cold glance at Huo Xun and paid him no further heed. He knew that since Huo Xun had already torn all pretense of cordiality with him and Huo Xianer, and Huo Litian had also gone so far as to use an Assassin’s hand, this matter could no longer be salvaged. If he did not defeat Huo Litian and Huo Xun, it would be very difficult to leave this place. Even if he wanted to first take Huo Xianer and escape, avoiding their edge, he would still have to find a perfectly timed opportunity. If they tried to flee like this right now, Huo Xun would definitely take action. Just how powerful this old man was—Ye Tianchen still couldn’t quite see through!
Bang!
Taking a step forward, Ye Tianchen stared coldly at Huo Litian and said with a smile, "Weren’t you eager to fight me? Weren’t you forcing me to fight you? I can face you now!"
"You dare accept the battle, that’s all the better—so no one can say I took advantage of another’s peril and killed someone who couldn’t even truss a chicken!" Huo Litian glared viciously at Ye Tianchen as he spoke.
From the very beginning, Huo Litian had been extremely hostile toward Ye Tianchen, even striking out unreasonably. Yet Ye Tianchen, considering Huo Xianer’s difficulties, had not fought Huo Litian, nor had he quibbled over it. But now, with Huo Litian acting so overbearing and even attempting to kill Huo Xianer, Ye Tianchen no longer needed to hesitate. Even if it meant killing Huo Litian in a single battle, so be it!
Swoosh!
Huo Litian made his move. A Longsword appeared in his hand, its blade covered in Fire light. This was his control over Fire Power. Just now, his Samadhi True Fire had already been shattered and sent flying by Ye Tianchen; to try and defeat Ye Tianchen with the same move again was simply impossible!
Roar!
A Fire Dragon burst forth from the Longsword in Huo Litian’s hand, causing this entire stretch of heaven and earth to tremble. This was even stronger than the Fire Dragon he had unleashed when fighting Huo Xianer earlier. Ye Tianchen frowned slightly, yet still smiled and said, "You do have quite a bit of talent. But since you’re so confident in your control over Fire Power, let me show you whether your Fire Power is stronger, or my bare fists are stronger!"
"Such shameless boasting! Fire Power is incomparably mighty. Even if your Physical Body Power is stronger, there’s no way you can block my Fire Power!" Huo Litian shouted loudly, itching to destroy Ye Tianchen, body and soul!
Buzz!
Buzz!
In an instant, Ye Tianchen’s entire body ignited with a surge of Golden Light power. At the same time, on his fists as well, Golden power erupted, like burning Golden flames. This stunned Huo Litian for a moment, but he still hastened to spur the power in his own hand, determined to Shock Kill Ye Tianchen!
"Here I come!" Ye Tianchen said with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Whoosh!
Ye Tianchen left behind a Golden Light afterimage where he stood, and in an instant, he charged straight toward the Fire Dragon that was lunging to devour him. His twin fists swung, the Golden Light Fist force surging as he smashed heavily onto the Fire Dragon’s head, making Fire light explode in all directions across this heaven and earth!
Bang! Bang! Bang...
"Just a mere Fire Dragon, break for me!"
Ye Tianchen roared, and a blast of Golden Light Fist force swept across like it was mowing down everything, smashing heavily onto the head of that Fire Dragon!
Boom!
With a heaven-shaking crash, that Fire Dragon was instantly blown to pieces. Huo Litian staggered back a few steps, staring blankly at this scene. He had never imagined that the Fire Power he was so proud of, the Fire Dragon he’d manifested, would actually be shattered by Ye Tianchen with his bare hands. This was the first time he had ever seen such a thing!
"You... your Physical Body Power..." Huo Litian stared at Ye Tianchen in shock and dismay as he spoke.
"Don’t think you’re that strong. Don’t think just because you’re one of the young elites of the Fire God Sacred Land that it makes you anything special. In this world, there is always a sky beyond this sky, a person beyond this person. For all you know, you’re just an ant at heaven’s feet, with nothing worth being proud of!" Ye Tianchen said coldly.
"You... don’t you preach at me. You don’t have that qualification yet!" Huo Litian roared and charged to kill Ye Tianchen!
Ye Tianchen cast Huo Litian a cold glance. He noticed that Huo Litian had also put away his Longsword and was now swinging his fists, each wrapped in two streaks of Fire light, as he charged at him. Clearly, this Huo Litian was extremely confident and equally arrogant. Seeing Ye Tianchen shatter his Fire Power with bare hands had clearly stung his pride, so he wanted to defeat Ye Tianchen in the same way!
Huo Litian, the strongest of the younger generation in the Fire God Sacred Land, was even stronger than Huo Xianer, the Holy Daughter who carried the Inheritance Bloodline of the Ancient Fire God. At the age of one, Huo Litian had been discovered by the Fire God Sacred Land’s Supreme Elder Huo Xun, who brought him back into the Fire God Sacred Land, personally took him as a disciple, and passed on to Huo Litian all the Absolute Skills of the Fire God Sacred Land. Huo Litian lived up to expectations; his Cultivation Realm rose rapidly, and he displayed more and more extraordinary talent, which left Huo Xun very satisfied. To say that Huo Litian was now the number one young expert in the Cultivation Realm of Earth might still be a bit uncertain, but Huo Xun could guarantee that Huo Litian was definitely not weaker than any other young expert!
However, Ye Tianchen was also a powerhouse of the younger generation, and in his battle with Huo Litian, he already seemed to be superior by a margin—especially given that Ye Tianchen himself was heavily injured. Under such circumstances, even Huo Xun couldn’t help but feel worried. Huo Litian was his only disciple, and also the only support by which he could realize his goals and ambitions. He absolutely could not be defeated here!
"Divine Fire Dragon Fist!" Huo Litian roared, both fists erupting with trembling Fire light as he blasted toward Ye Tianchen!
"Come then, let’s see whose fists are harder!" Ye Tianchen said calmly.
"What fist technique are you using? I don’t kill nobodies!" Huo Litian said with disdain.
"This... I really haven’t thought about it. Why don’t we just call it Fire Fist!" Ye Tianchen said casually.
"Fire Fist, how laughable. Don’t tell me you don’t have a single powerful fist technique?" Huo Litian said with some contempt.
"It’s not that I don’t. I’m just afraid that once I use my powerful fist technique, you’ll die, and then it won’t be any fun!" Ye Tianchen shook his head as he spoke.
"Kill!" Huo Litian exploded in fury, turning into a streak of Fire light as he charged to slay Ye Tianchen!
Ye Tianchen gave Huo Litian a calm glance. His attention wasn’t actually on Huo Litian, but constantly fixed on the Fire God Sacred Land’s Supreme Elder Huo Xun. This guy was his real opponent—a ruthless, deeply scheming old bastard who could not be underestimated!
Bang, bang, bang...
Their terrifying powers clashed together. Ye Tianchen and Huo Litian traded fists and kicks, their blows making the very sky tremble. It was incredibly shocking to behold, and even Huo Xianer couldn’t help but grow worried. She didn’t want Ye Tianchen to be injured again, but she also didn’t want Huo Litian to be killed. After all, they had been fellow Sect members for dozens of years, and there was still a bond there. Huo Xianer was someone who valued feelings and loyalty; even now, with Huo Litian trying to kill her, she still couldn’t bring herself to kill her senior brother!
Boom!
Poof!
Huo Litian lost. He was sent flying backward, spraying mouthfuls of blood, and crashed heavily into the ground, smashing out a huge crater. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as he couldn’t help but speak:
"Why, why is your control over Fire Power so strong? You’re not a disciple of our Fire God Sacred Land!"
"Who said only disciples of the Fire God Sacred Land can master Fire Power to the extreme? That’s just your own delusion!" Ye Tianchen looked at Huo Litian and said calmly.
"Fine, then I’ll let you see what true Fire Power is. I’ve never used this move before—you should feel honored..." Huo Litian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and looked at Ye Tianchen with a cold smile as he spoke. (To be continued.
