CHAPTER 198: CHAPTER 197 TRAGIC BATTLE (VOLUME 1)

However, Ye Xin was even more puzzled, how could the Guard let such a talent go?

At this moment, Yang Chen’s injured shoulder was ruthlessly struck by Shangxi with a fan, and blood immediately gushed out.

"Ah!" Ye Xin screamed in fright upon seeing this and quickly said, "Husband!"

Yang Chen staggered back a few steps, his face dark, and said, "I’m fine!"

This Shangxi seemed gentle and courteous, upright in conduct, but unexpectedly so vicious in action.

This strike caused Yang Chen unbearable pain, half of his shoulder was already numb!

Although Yang Chen said he was fine verbally, Ye Xin was heartbroken and immediately rushed forward to check Yang Chen’s injury.

But Yang Chen stopped Ye Xin.

"Stand back!"

During a battle, one must never stop, or show any sign of weakness to the opponent.

On the battlefield, even if injured, one must endure! Pain, bear it! Bleeding, let it bleed! Dislocated arm, continue fighting!

There is only forward, no retreat!

Yang Chen stared at Shangxi.

Shangxi smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, fists have no eyes!"

Yang Chen sneered coldly, took a deep breath, circulated the cultivation technique within his body, the momentum stirred his surroundings, sweeping up fallen leaves on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xin was suddenly shocked.

Although she had noticed anomalous behavior yesterday when fighting with Shangxi, she didn’t pay much attention, but today she saw it clearly.

The reveal of such an outward appearance indicated that Yang Chen’s skill had reached a transformative state!

Martial artists train hard, exercising their body from dawn.

Like Siam Fist masters, their strength comes from physical fitness.

And further beyond that is the Inner Strength.

Ninety-nine percent of martial artists are blocked at this hurdle.

Evidently, Yang Chen is someone who has crossed this hurdle.

Even Ye Xin had just reached this level, but had not achieved Yang Chen’s degree.

She finally understood Yang Chen’s strength at this moment!

Seeing the change in Yang Chen, Shangxi’s expression also changed, becoming solemn.

Compared to Yang Chen, Shangxi’s momentum transformed even faster, instantly erupting outwards, a wave of air blasting around him.

"Yang Chen!" Shangxi stared at Yang Chen and said in a deep voice, "Let me see how strong you really are!"

Yang Chen coldly snorted, impatiently said, "Try me if you dare!"

He extremely disliked Shangxi’s pretentious attitude, talking incessantly, thinking himself so righteous, yet his ways were exceedingly sinister.

Shangxi laughed heartily and shouted, "Take my palm!"

Yang Chen watched Shangxi leap towards him, a palm striking down, his brow furrowing.

He summoned all his internal energy into his palm and pushed forward fiercely.

Bam!

The two palms collided, releasing a powerful airflow.

Yang Chen only felt an enormous force approach, flipping him uncontrollably, rolling several times before barely stabilizing himself on the ground.

Simultaneously, he felt the breath in his body tumbling, the previous blow causing considerable damage.

As for Shangxi.

Only retreated a few steps, his expression calm.

A single blow, and the superior became apparent.

Beside him, Ye Xin was extremely nervous, she realized Yang Chen was no match for Shangxi!

Shangxi also realized that after one blow, he held the upper hand, his eyes flashing coldly.

Yang Chen struggled to get up, the blood in his chest surging, it felt as if a heavy hammer had smashed his chest.

Suddenly, Yang Chen’s face changed!

He saw Shangxi suddenly charge at him, with killing intent in his eyes, and the fan in his hand flashed with cold light!

Yang Chen realized that Shangxi intended to kill him!

Ye Xin also noticed and exclaimed, "Husband! Be careful!"

Yang Chen shouted angrily, flipped himself up and dodged Shangxi’s attack just in time.

This time, Shangxi struck the ground with his fan, causing dirt and leaves to scatter, leaving a large pit behind!

Seeing this, Yang Chen’s pupils fiercely contracted.

If this had struck him, he would have been either dead or crippled!

Yang Chen retreated repeatedly, with Shangxi closely pursuing.

The two rushed into a grove.

Yang Chen said in a deep voice, "You want to kill me!"

Shangxi snorted coldly, no longer holding his gentlemanly demeanor, instead appearing extremely fierce, his voice low and sinister, "Humph! Your existence is a hindrance to Ye Xin, of course I will kill you!"

"What a pity!" Yang Chen snorted coldly, "No one who has tried to kill me is still alive!"

With that, Yang Chen abruptly spun around and fiercely struck Shangxi with his palm.

Seeing that Yang Chen intended to confront him head-on, Shangxi couldn’t help but sneer.

After all, he had already tested it, Yang Chen was simply not his opponent, confronting him now was simply courting death!

"Hey!" Shangxi exerted all his strength, striking hard on Yang Chen’s palm.

Bam!

Shangxi was suddenly wide-eyed.

That force...

Innate!

Boom!

Shangxi was sent flying! Rolling for several rounds, slamming into a large tree, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Yang Chen, exerting extraordinary strength, also suffered significant damage, pressing down the surging blood in his chest.

Yang Chen stared at the nonstop blood-spitting Shangxi, step by step approaching him.

Shangxi spat several mouths of fresh blood, took a breath, and stared at Yang Chen in surprise, "You’re actually Innate..."

"Seems you understand well!" Yang Chen’s eyes flashed with cold light, already harboring killing intent.

This person must not be left alive!

"Hehe! Hahaha!" Shangxi suddenly burst into wild laughter, standing up coldly said, "Do you think that being Innate means you can kill me? Too naive!"

Saying this, Shangxi pulled out a pill from his bosom and swallowed it fiercely.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but pause, noticing Shangxi’s aura became even more powerful and sharp.

His strength increased!

"Die!" Shangxi’s eyes flashed red, shouted and charged towards Yang Chen.

At the clash, Yang Chen retreated several steps, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

While Shangxi only stepped back once.

"Hahahaha!" Shangxi laughed madly, continuing to attack Yang Chen.

The fan in his hand danced, and Yang Chen could barely evade.

Suddenly, Shangxi spun around, slicing the fan towards Yang Chen’s neck!

Yang Chen’s pupils contracted fiercely, hurriedly reaching out to block!

Smack!

Crack!

Yang Chen’s arm twisted, broken!

The intense pain made Yang Chen almost grind his teeth to dust, blood oozing from his gums.

In that instant, Yang Chen roared angrily, kicking towards Shangxi’s head.

Shangxi hurriedly reached out to block, but Yang Chen’s kick was heavy!

Bam!

Shangxi was kicked flying, and a crisp snapping sound followed.

Shangxi crashed into a tree, his right hand broken as well, at an odd twisted angle!

Even if Shangxi consumed a pill to unleash potential, he could still only fight Yang Chen to a draw.

Yang Chen fell to the ground, his vision gradually blurry.

In the shadows, he vaguely heard Ye Xin’s voice, "If you must take me away, then take my corpse!"
