Chapter 604
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With the help of the Demon Tiger Secret Blood Art, Lin Tian’s current offensive was faintly stronger than Ye Chen’s . The moment they made contact, he could tell that the situation was in favor, and a sneer appeared on his face . However, it turned stiff in the very next moment .
At the point of Ye Chen’s two sword’s intersection, a thumb-sized thunder sphere sprouted . It was dark blue in color, and the lightning it released was also dark blue in color . Countless wriggling lightning snakes shot out, instantly converting more than a thousand meters wide area into a lightning zone .
Rumble!
The thunder sphere grew at a pace far greater than Lin Tian’s reaction speed . It was only thumb-sized initially, but in just a few moments, it expanded several hundred folds, then several thousand folds . His figure was blasted by the resultant explosive energy; every bone in his body creaked, making his body sore .
The two made contact only for a brief moment,
Shua!
The impact Ye Chen received was far less than Lin Tian . After retreating for a hundred or so steps, he stamped his foot backward in the void, and his figure turned into starlight, shooting forward .
“Not good!”
At this moment, Lin Tian’s muscles were sore, and he would only be able to bring out thirty-forty percent of his current strength . If he tried to defend forcefully, his defeat was certain…There was no question about it .
“Heaven Sieved Armor, Release!”
At the moment of peril, Lin Tian’s protective Zhen Yuan thickened by several inches, seeming like a layer of jade . Furthermore, inside Lin Tian’s robe, a silhouette of a mystical armor appeared . Following the appearance of this armor, sets of mysterious lines appeared on his protective Zhen Yuan . These lines were interlinked with each other like fibers of a lotus root, which stayed together even if the root itself snapped . They slowly circled around Lin Tian .
“Half-step Top Grade Armor!” Ye Chen suddenly stopped .
“With this armor, I’m now invincible . Hereon, your defeat is certain . ” Lin Tian originally didn’t wish to bring out this armor . As far as he was concerned, nobody other than five young tyrants had the qualifications for him to bring out this armor .
“Half-step Top Grade, Heaven Sieved Armor! This time, Ye Chen is screwed . Without breaking through Lin Tian’s defense, he has no way of injuring him while Lin Tian can simply ignore defense and go full-out offense . After a while, Ye Chen will certainly lose . ”
“I heard that Lin Tian obtained this armor from the treasure pagoda . I wonder how many floors he had reached . ”
Nobody despised him for using a half-step top grade armor . For a martial artist, treasures and artifacts were considered a part of their strength, and their use was not considered unfair at all . After all, obtaining treasures required one to brave numerous dangers .
Ye Chen sized Lin Tian’s armor and said, “Let it be . You and I don’t have much enmity . We can end this here, though I hope you don’t come looking for trouble later . ”
Destroying Duan Lengya was already enough . It had not come to a life-and-death enmity . Ye Chen didn’t wish to offend one of the four great clans, the Lin family as well . The situation had not worsened to such an extent .
“You want to leave?”
Lin Tian’s face turned sinister . He and Ye Chen indeed didn’t have much enmity; Lin Ku’s injuries were not heavy either . A few months of healing would be enough to reach his peak condition, without leaving behind any negative effects . However, injuries could be healed, but lost reputation couldn’t be gained back . Today, he absolutely couldn’t let Ye Chen leave unscathed .
“What, you still want to fight?” Ye Chen frowned .
“You are not afraid, are you Ye Chen? A treasure is also a part of one’s strength . My eldest brother obtained this armor on his own . Nobody would condemn him for using it . ” Lin Ku’s voice came from underneath, carrying a faintly complacent tone . Lin Tian’s expression also relaxed as he stared Ye Chen with an oppressive gaze .
“Hehe” Ye Chen laughed, “I’m afraid? Since you want to continue, we’ll fight . ”
Buzz!
His storage ring flickered, and a dark blue sword appeared in his hands . The sword gave off a tyrannical aura . Even before it was unsheathed, destructive lightning filled the skies .
“What! Half-step Top Grade Sword!” Lin Tian cried out .
The faces of spectators underneath changed . Lin Ku, in particular, seemed as if he was about to say something, but he immediately closed his mouth with his face stunned .
Clang!
The Thunder Calamity Sword had been unsheathed . A lightning arc flashed on the sword’s body as Ye Chen looked straight at Lin Tian and said indifferently, “Lin Tian, If you want to battle, we’ll battle . I’m not afraid in either case . ”
“Damn it! How could he have a Half-step Top Grade sword?” Lin Tian was inwardly regretting .
“What, you want to give up?” Ye Chen could see the indecisiveness in Lin Tian’s gaze .
“Give up? How is it possible! Today, we must determine who is stronger, you or me . ” At this stage, Lin Tian had no way of retreating . He could only fight . If he didn’t fight, he would incur far more ridicule compared to losing .
“Let’s see if your sword is sharper, or whether my armor’s defense is stronger . Demon Tiger Blade!”
With the Demon Tiger Secret Blood Art’s stimulation still present, Lin Tian roared and shot toward Ye Chen with his blade raised high in the air .
“Breaking your defense is nothing much . ”
Ye Chen didn’t intend to meet Lin Tian head-on . The latter was a body-refiner expert and liked to fight head-on, but that might not be the case for him . The previous encounter was merely for him to test the limits of his offensive power . He had already obtained the results . This time, he would thoroughly defeat his opponent .
Swoosh!
A sword light flickered as Ye Chen raised his speed to limits and suddenly appeared to the right of Lin Tian . The Thunder Calamity Sword pierced through, using perfected Unceasing Growth .
The defensive layer covered with runic engravings caved in slightly before cracks appeared at its edges, looking like a spider web . It seemed to be on the verge of shattering like a glass .
Seeing Ye Chen not clashing head-on, Lin Tian immediately swept his blade horizontally . However, what he hit was merely a void image .
“Gold Quake!”
Above him, Ye Chen slashed down from upside down position . With that, a magnificent sword light wave with sawtoothed edge stabbed at Lin Tian’s defensive cover .
Creak Creak Creak!
Dazzling sparks flew everywhere before Lin Tian’s defensive cover was slightly cleaved open . At the crucial moment, Lin Tian stabbed his blade upwards, breaking the sawtoothed edge .
Seeing the saw-toothed wave destroyed, Ye Chen smiled . Lin Tian’s defenses were weaker than he had expected, and he indeed specialized in strength . Therefore, although his Zhen Yuan cultivation base was comparable to his, it was not as consolidated, neither his Zhen Yuan was as pure . An artifact required Zhen Yuan to operate, and thus, he couldn’t exhibit the Heaven Sieved Armor to its limits .
Woosh Woosh Woosh…
Ye Chen circled around Lin Tian and continued sending out attacks . Lin Tian’s reactions were good, and he was able to block every two out of three attacks Ye Chen sent his way .
“Here comes my opportunity!”
Faking a strike, Ye Chen was able to force Lin Tian’s reaction . Thereupon, he again crisscrossed the two swords and smashed into Lin Tian’s defenses .
Screech!
Sword scars emerged on Lin Tian’s defensive cover one after another, seeping through .
Following a thunder sphere’s explosion, the protective cover shattered like an egg and completely crumbled . The huge aftershock made Lin Tian bleed from his seven apertures . The blood patterns on his face dimmed, then completely disappeared, seeping back inside his body . There was a limit on the Demon Tiger Secret Blood Art’s usage . For Lin Tian to use this art for so long, he was bound to suffer a considerable backlash . Suffering from both internal and external injuries, Lin Tian would be weak for quite a while .
“Lin Tian lost!”
“Duan Lengya, Lin Ku, Mu Yunhe, and Lin Tian…the four of them fought Ye Chen one after another, but they still lost miserably . I daresay, within three months, Ye Chen’s name will stun the world . Everybody will know his name, and his fame will soon catch up to the five young tyrants . ”
“Is there even a need to say that? To beat Mu Yunhe and Lin Tian, it will be difficult for his fame to not increase . ”
As discussions were brewing, Ye Chen flew to Murong Qingcheng’s side, also shooting a glance Lin Ku inside the restaurant .
Sensing Ye Chen’s gaze on him, panic appeared on Lin Ku’s face . His body was seriously injured, and a lot of his meridians were severed . In this condition, he wouldn’t be able to endure a single move from Ye Chen .
“Let’s leave!”
Ye Chen had no intention of pursuing Lin Ku . After all, the main perpetrator was Duan Lengya; others were merely accomplices .
As Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng left, Lin Ku let out a sigh of relief and eventually moved .
As he glanced at lying Duan Lengya and Mu Yunhe, as well as his own heavily injured eldest brother, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly . This time, they indeed fell down head first . Who knew that Ye Chen would become so powerful in these few months . Previously, in the battle against Hai Wuya, they held a complete advantage . If not for Yan Fengfeng’s presence, they would not have let Ye Chen’s group off lightly . But now, just Ye Chen alone came and they didn’t even have the qualifications to fight . But, what frightened him the most was that a few months ago, Ye Chen wasn’t even his match .
…
In more than a month’s time, the events of West Mound City spread everywhere in Sky Martial Region . Everybody knew that a person named Ye Chen had defeated Duan Lengya, Lin Ku, Mu Yunhe, and Lin Tian one after another . Such a strength left the other young geniuses appalled .
Dugu Clan…
“Ye Chen, I didn’t expect your progress to be this quick . The current me is definitely your opponent . But, this is just the beginning . Once I have the strength to challenge Xiao Chuhe, I’ll challenge you as well . ”
Sitting cross-legged under a tree, Dugu Jue’s eyes shone . It could be seen that compared to two months ago, his Zhen Yuan was much sturdier, reaching the peak of mid Sea of Soul realm . During the battle with Taishi Chong, he had just broken through into the mid Sea of Soul realm, and didn’t have enough time to consolidate his cultivation base . Therefore, he was incapable of using treasures to advance cultivation base to the peak of mid Sea of Soul realm .
The news of Ye Chen’s triumph had just reached Dugu clan . It was his eldest brother, Dugu Ming, who conveyed it to him . At first, he was also quite stunned . However, he was able to soon calm down . Momentary ups and down didn’t mean anything . Since Ye Chen could improve, others could do so as well . Only when one side was incapable of improving further would the victor be determined . After all, every level had a limit . For example, Zhen Yuan cultivation could only reach the peak of Sea of Soul realm, profound could only be comprehended to mid-rank; and under usual circumstances, will could only reach the peak of the fourth stage . Those who were capable of reaching the fifth stage were extremely few .
The five young tyrants were basically at a stage where they basically couldn’t improve . Therefore, they stood at the peak of the young generation . Even though Lin Tian was considered an existence close to them, he couldn’t even endure a few moves from Xiao Chuhe . Therefore, the five young tyrants almost stood at the peak of this level . To overtake them, one also had to stand on the peak of this level .
