[Are there any monthly votes? I’m asking for a few!]

Golden Strange Cloud was killed. When Ye Tianchen launched a powerful strike, the mystery man actually used some kind of powerful secret technique to control Golden Strange Cloud’s actions, turning Golden Strange Cloud into his human shield, standing alive in front of the mystery man, and was blasted to death by a powerful Martial Arts True Power. As for the Demon Slayer Old Man, he was nowhere to be seen. Ye Tianchen quickly used his powerful Divine Thought to search for this old man’s location. He is an old assassin of the Blood Killing Organization, extremely strong and definitely not to be underestimated.

“You…” Golden Strange Cloud glared at the mystery man but couldn’t speak.

“The Golden family? Just so-so…” The mystery man spoke for the first time; his voice was somewhat peculiar, as if intentionally hiding something.

Swoosh!

Ye Tianchen appeared above the mystery man’s head, coldly watching this man, and couldn’t help but casually smile and say, “I’m really curious who you are. Whether it’s the special mist covering your face or purposely altering your voice while speaking, you’re trying to hide your real identity!”

The mystery man glanced up at Ye Tianchen, kicked away Golden Strange Cloud’s corpse with one foot, and simultaneously slapped his right palm towards Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen frowned, gathered the power of the “Heavenly Shocking Palm” in his left hand, and met the mystery man’s right palm. His right hand formed a claw, reaching towards the mystery man’s face, intending to tear apart the mist covering it, as he became increasingly interested. Who exactly was this mystery man? He wasn’t from the disciples of the sects and forces Ye Tianchen offended, nor was he from the Blood Killing Organization or the Nine Netherworld. So who was it? This person hiding in the shadows, attacking Ye Tianchen, leading to his first emergence — who exactly was it?

Bang!

Unexpectedly, just as Ye Tianchen’s left hand clashed with the mystery man’s, he quickly used the Divine Movement Skill, intending to unveil the mystery man’s mask. The mystery man swiftly retreated, and at that moment, the Demon Slayer Old Man appeared behind Ye Tianchen, tearing through the void, slamming a palm towards Ye Tianchen’s head, intending to slaughter him and turn him into mince.

The Demon Slayer Old Man’s combat power is strong and unfathomable, being an old assassin of the Blood Killing Organization, and every strike carries a powerful Slaughter Aura. His combat power cultivation is feared to be around the Mid-stage Martial Saint, and Ye Tianchen naturally does not dare to underestimate him, having to give up on tearing off the mystery man’s mask, turning around to punch at the Demon Slayer Old Man.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen was sent flying, while the Demon Slayer Old Man also took a few steps back. When Ye Tianchen turned to look at the mystery man, he found that the mystery man had disappeared. He couldn’t help but frown deeply; this mystery man’s combat power cultivation was not low. If it was a full-force battle, he might not be much weaker than him. However, this person did not choose to fight to the death but instead teamed up with the Demon Slayer Old Man to ambush him. It seems this isn’t an ordinary person; it’s someone with a lot of schemes. Who is he, after all?

Boom!

Ye Tianchen no longer had a chance to think deeply. Just as he was distracted, a shield-like treasure had appeared in the hands of the Demon Slayer Old Man. This shield was both defensive and offensive in nature, likely a Yue-type treasure. The entire shape of the shield resembled a human face, making Ye Tianchen’s heart jolt because from the eyes and mouth of the human face, a strong Slaughter Aura was being emitted, very intimidating. This kind of treasure Ye Tianchen was seeing for the first time.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen first struck with a punch, unleashing the Vajra Divine Fist. Even though he was standing at his own combat power cultivation Peak state, he did not act recklessly. Although now with Golden Strange Cloud and the mystery man gone, only the Demon Slayer Old Man remained to battle him, he dared not be careless. This was because the Demon Slayer Old Man was the strongest among the three of them, an old assassin from the Blood Killing Organization, and Ye Tianchen had long experienced the strength of the Blood Killing Organization. To deal with such a vicious legacy, Ye Tianchen would not be negligent or underestimate it.

A strike with the Vajra Divine Fist was launched. Ye Tianchen was making a probing attack to see how strong the treasure “Yue” in the Demon Slayer Old Man’s hand was. Often, when facing a battle with a strong opponent, without knowing the opponent’s combat power and Martial Arts Divine Skill, using some Martial Arts Divine Skill to probe is very necessary.

Bang!

Sure enough, as Ye Tianchen expected, after the Demon Slayer Old Man had refined his treasure “Yue,” and faced Ye Tianchen’s punch, the Demon Slayer Old Man immediately used his treasure to block. Ye Tianchen’s Vajra Divine Fist at the Small Success Realm could definitely blow up a mountain with one punch, but when this punch landed on the treasure in the Demon Slayer Old Man’s hand, there was no response at all, like a clay ox entering the sea. Ye Tianchen could not feel any Divine Power fluctuation at all, as if the Martial Arts True Power he unleashed was completely devoured by the treasure in the Demon Slayer Old Man’s hand.

“Hmph, you little brat, you do have some combat power, but you’re too green. The treasure in my hand is called Yuehuang Shield, a powerful treasure of the Martial Saint Realm. It is not only indestructible but also invincible; no one has ever been able to overcome the treasure in my hand, not even the Holy Heaven Prison!” The Demon Slayer Old Man snorted coldly, speaking with great confidence.

Ye Tianchen frowned deeply. Indeed, this “Yuehuang Shield” treasure gave him a very tricky feeling. It is a powerful treasure combining both offense and defense, much like the “Holy Heaven Prison.” Treasures like this are rare in the Martial Arts World because they are very hard to refine and even harder to successfully refine. Only those with profound cultivation realms can accomplish it. Ye Tianchen did not expect that the Demon Slayer Old Man, this old thing, would have such a powerful treasure.

Swish!

The Demon Slayer Old Man made his move. He dared not underestimate Ye Tianchen, nearly being killed by him before. Though he is an elder assassin in the Blood Killing Organization, with formidable combat power and slaughter experience, Ye Tianchen gave him a shocking feeling. If he didn’t quickly kill Ye Tianchen, he would feel uneasy.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen swiftly retreated, not daring to take the blow head-on from the Demon Slayer Old Man. From activating the “Fire God Gourd” to using the “Holy Heaven Prison,” and then enhancing his combat power and cultivation to the strongest level, and combining the “Holy Heaven Prison” with the “Eight Diagrams Seal,” Ye Tianchen had exhausted too much Martial Arts True Power. Such an attack without a sure chance of victory, confronting an old fox like the Demon Slayer Old Man, held less than a fifty percent chance of success. He was keenly aware that without absolute certainty, he could not recklessly attack or display Martial Arts Divine Skills, as his internal Martial Arts True Power was insufficient!

“Run, can you really escape? A person of your kind growing stronger is a major threat to our Blood Killing Organization. Plus, the Cultivation Treasure Book and Supreme Treasure on you are things I desire. Therefore, you must die!” the Demon Slayer Old Man said with a cold laugh as he watched Ye Tianchen dodge his attack, not daring to take a direct hit.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Three streaks of Slaughter Aura followed, incredibly powerful, all emitted from the Martial Saint Treasure “Yuehuang Shield” in the hands of the Demon Slayer Old Man. Tearing through the void, they slashed towards Ye Tianchen as if cutting through heaven and earth. With furrowed brows, Ye Tianchen simultaneously executed the Divine Movement Skill to swiftly evade the slaughter of the Demon Slayer Old Man while contemplating how to eliminate this old demon.

Flash!

Ye Tianchen glanced back at the pursuing Demon Slayer Old Man, a thought flickered in his mind, and he promptly mobilized the remaining Martial Arts True Qi within his Dantian to unleash the Divine Movement Skill to its utmost limit, vanishing instantaneously. He hadn’t fled, but used the incredible speed of the Divine Movement Skill to make his whereabouts invisible to the old demon, causing the Demon Slayer Old Man to coldly laugh, “You dare use such foolish tactics, courting death indeed!”

Buzz!

As soon as the Demon Slayer Old Man finished speaking, his “Yuehuang Shield” resonated. Centered on the Yuehuang Shield and the Demon Slayer Old Man, a Slaughter Aura slashed out in all directions, leaving Ye Tianchen defenseless and with nowhere to escape.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen burst forth, right in front of the Demon Slayer Old Man, unleashing a punch that shattered the aura emitted by the “Yuehuang Shield,” leaving the Demon Slayer Old Man stunned. He coldly remarked, “Such powerful fist strength, you’ve actually cultivated the Overlord Fist to the Great Achievement Realm. It’s a pity it’s still far from enough. The Overlord Fist, rumored to be a Martial Arts Divine Skill created by the Overlord Immortal King, is also his formidable Power of Slaughter. The Overlord Fist passed down to now is already incomplete. If you truly could cultivate the Overlord Fist to Perfect Completion, I would indeed be blasted to death by you!”

Hearing the Demon Slayer Old Man’s words, Ye Tianchen was somewhat surprised. Initially, he thought the cultivation method of the Overlord Fist had already been practiced by him without being powerful enough. The cultivation spell of the Overlord Fist was indeed incomplete, with much more powerful cultivation techniques existing. This presented him with another goal to pursue.

“Old demon, come again with another punch…”

With a loud roar, Ye Tianchen erupted with all his combat power without reservation, his fists clenched tightly, continuously swinging his fists, unleashing world-shaking fist radiance, with each strike carrying the fist strength of the Overlord Fist’s Great Achievement Realm. The Demon Slayer Old Man frowned, using the Yuehuang Shield to block, warding off the fist strength of Ye Tianchen without injury. However, his position in the void retreated continuously, unknowingly moving back hundreds of meters, simply due to the inertia of Martial Arts True Power impact.

When Ye Tianchen stopped, he was already drenched in sweat, his face pale, with scarce Martial Arts True Power remaining in his body, coldly staring at the Demon Slayer Old Man.

“Little brat, out of strength? Have your Martial Arts True Power run dry inside you? Hmph, prepare to die!” The Demon Slayer Old Man was about to pounce on Ye Tianchen, ready to execute a Slaughter Skill.

“Old demon, perhaps you should first consider your own situation…” Ye Tianchen said calmly. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) and vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
