Chapter 855: Chapter 854 [Aura of Dominance]

Hu Changhe executed his Martial Arts Divine Skill, the “Soul Destruction Palm,” but did not expect to be injured by Ye Tianchen’s “Heavenly Shocking Palm.” He underestimated Ye Tianchen’s combat strength and was overly confident in his own cultivation realm. However, what shocked Ye Tianchen was that Hu Changhe, like a Nine-Life Cat, recovered instantly from serious internal injuries, contrary to Zhang Ruotong’s unique physique. This suggested that Hu Changhe possessed some ancient, mysterious Martial Arts Divine Skill that allowed him to heal quickly.

Ye Tianchen strode forward with determination. He was here to kill Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui. He had promised the Chief Director and Vice Chairman Yang that he would eliminate these three within seven days. Now, Ye Tianchen was filled with fury. More than a dozen brothers sent by the Thirteen Heavenly Kings had died tragically, and their bodies were sent back to the base of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings. This was a humiliation and anger for Ye Tianchen, something he could not ignore. Therefore, he came to Nine Dragon Mountain and enveloped it with the “Holy Heaven Prison.” No one inside could leave, and no one outside could enter, unless he successfully killed these three or was killed by them. Only then could the Holy Heaven Prison open. Ye Tianchen was here to avenge the deaths of those brothers, who, while not members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, had worked for him with loyalty and integrity. This was not just lip service; it was about standing by those who cared for him, loved him, and helped him, demonstrating a character of great integrity and honor.

Qin Mingshan saw Hu Changhe’s failure and was both surprised and cunning in his attempt to scheme against Ye Tianchen. He cultivated a formidable Gang Qi Divine Art, focusing on tempering the body with Martial Arts Divine Skills, rendering his body invincible. It was said that if a mountain were to crash into him, it would be the mountain that shattered into pieces.

Clearly, Qin Mingshan intended to lure Ye Tianchen into close combat, relying on his belief that no one could match his formidable body. As long as Ye Tianchen dared to engage him in close combat, he was confident of a hundred percent chance of killing him. Seeing Ye Tianchen advancing without changing his expression, Qin Mingshan showed a smug smile.

“Do not be careless; this fellow’s combat strength is unfathomable. Better to be cautious!” Hu Changhe transmitted his divine thought to Qin Mingshan.

“Hmph, do you think I’m like you? Besides, considering the invincibility of my body, no one in the world can rival me!” Qin Mingshan confidently snorted, not bothering to conceal his arrogance even in his speech.

“You don’t know what’s good for you. I hope you can kill him!” Hu Changhe said with a fierce glance at Qin Mingshan.

“There’s no hoping about it; it’s certain. He’s dead for sure. Just watch him, just an ant. Only you two lack the strength; let me be the one to kill him!”

Qin Mingshan was extremely aggressive and confident to the point of arrogance, convinced no one could match him in physical combat. He launched his fist towards Ye Tianchen as he finished speaking.

Ye Tianchen was less than ten meters away from Qin Mingshan. Seeing Qin Mingshan’s incoming punch, Ye Tianchen used his Divine Movement Skill and disappeared from his original spot, reappearing in front of Qin Mingshan, stunning him. Hu Changhe and Yang Gui, who were close by, quickly dodged aside. No one was a fool; if Qin Mingshan could kill Ye Tianchen, they could conserve some of their Martial Arts True Power. Why waste it in vain?

“You want a close fight, I’ll oblige!” Ye Tianchen said coldly to Qin Mingshan as he swung his fist.

“Hahaha, you’ve fallen into my trap. You’re dead; no one can match my body in close combat!” Qin Mingshan shouted, putting more strength into his fist as it swung towards Ye Tianchen.

Bam!

A crisp sound echoed as Ye Tianchen and Qin Mingshan engaged in close combat, their fists colliding. There was no massive energy wave around them, but the Nine Dragon Mountain beneath their feet turned into ruins, dust filling the air. This was the power of a single punch.

“I wasn’t knocked away. Is your body as strong as claimed?” Ye Tianchen looked at Qin Mingshan calmly.

“You… Hmph, I haven’t used my full strength yet, what are you so smug about!” Qin Mingshan said, glaring fiercely at Ye Tianchen, astonished.

Qin Mingshan was shocked. Hu Changhe and Yang Gui stood by, dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were witnessing. They had never expected that Ye Tianchen could maintain an even footing with Qin Mingshan in close combat; it was beyond imagination.

Perhaps Yang Gui was less affected, not fully aware of Qin Mingshan’s combat prowess. However, Hu Changhe, who had known Qin Mingshan well since they began their training, was truly shaken. Qin Mingshan cultivated a Gang Qi-focused Martial Arts Divine Skill, capable of concealing deadly power, or causing massive destruction. Most importantly, it forged an incredibly strong body, like an impregnable fortress. Hu Changhe, with cultivation on par with Qin Mingshan, often sparred with him and found himself evenly matched in terms of Martial Arts True Power and Divine Skills. But in body combat, Hu Changhe would surely be defeated. The strength of Qin Mingshan’s body was indisputable, even to someone as knowledgeable about him as Hu Changhe. So how could Ye Tianchen, unaware of the extent of Qin Mingshan’s bodily strength, hold his own?

“Then go all out and let me see.” Ye Tianchen responded calmly.

“You’re courting death, I’ll grant it… Dragon True Power, kill!”

Qin Mingshan let out a roar, and his entire right arm that collided with Ye Tianchen suddenly transformed into a dragon claw, grabbing Ye Tianchen’s fist. At the same time, his spine turned segment by segment into dragon bones, and a dragon phantom surged out above his head, roaring furiously, as if he too had turned into a dragon.

Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow, feeling that Qin Mingshan’s Martial Arts True Power had inexplicably increased several folds. The powerful Power of Slaughter gave him a sense of alarm. Qin Mingshan was not bluffing; his physical body was indeed exceptionally strong. Ye Tianchen understood that if he hadn’t cultivated the “Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill” to the realm of Small Success, his previous body’s strength would be no match against Qin Mingshan’s body.

With a thundering boom, Ye Tianchen and Qin Mingshan’s right fists were still locked in collision. Qin Mingshan’s Martial Arts True Power exploded fiercely, and his Power of Slaughter was extraordinarily strong. He punched with his left fist, and Ye Tianchen had to swing his left fist to counter. This punch felt soft to Ye Tianchen, increasing Qin Mingshan’s momentum, forcing Ye Tianchen to continuously retreat, feet frictionless in the air.

“Die!”

Qin Mingshan roared again, both hands forming palms and striking at Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen frowned, his palms meeting Qin Mingshan’s. This time, as their palms collided, Ye Tianchen was forced to retreat step by step, while Qin Mingshan’s momentum was overwhelming, pushing him to the extreme, aiming to shock kill Ye Tianchen.

“Qin Mingshan’s Martial Arts True Power is remarkably strong, his physical body is formidable!” Yang Gui couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

“I didn’t expect him to really use his strong physical body to overpower Ye Tianchen. I thought he couldn’t win against Ye Tianchen physically, but now there’s no worry, Ye Tianchen is doomed!” Hu Changhe smiled sinisterly, showing a sliver at the corner of his mouth.

Pugh!

Ye Tianchen spat out fresh blood from his mouth. He hadn’t anticipated Qin Mingshan’s Martial Arts True Power to suddenly multiply dozens of times, akin to an ancient sleeper awakening, rushing to kill him. Ye Tianchen, unprepared, suffered injuries. Qin Mingshan’s physical body was indeed very formidable, which he had to admit.

“Have you grasped death’s awareness now? Do you understand how formidable my physical body is? You are nothing but an ant before me!” Qin Mingshan laughed viciously.

“An ant, why do you always like to say such things? Is it because you are strong? Or do you not understand that regardless of strength, everyone has their dignity!” Ye Tianchen said in a deep voice.

“Dignity? Survival of the fittest, where is there any dignity. You are about to die, do you still have dignity? If you do, why don’t you show me?” Qin Mingshan sneered dismissively.

Ye Tianchen shook his head, his mind turning. The golden Martial Arts True Power on his palms disappeared, indicating that he had dispelled the True Power of the Vajra Divine Fist. Simultaneously, he used the Divine Movement Skill, quickly distancing himself from Qin Mingshan.

“Given up? Trying to escape? Not that easy!” Qin Mingshan thought Ye Tianchen was attempting to flee, immediately laughing maliciously and quickly chasing after.

Boom!

Boom!

Ye Tianchen made his move. This time, he stood like an Overlord towering between heaven and earth. Although there was no strong wave of Martial Arts True Power surrounding him, it gave a sense of being sky-high, just standing there radiated a sovereign’s aura, exuding the Overlord Power intimidating the Heavenly Vault.

“Overlord Fist!”

With an explosive shout, Ye Tianchen’s voice echoed through the heavens and earth. His fist light pierced the Heavenly Vault, attacking Qin Mingshan. Qin Mingshan was shocked and terrified but unable to dodge. He could only use his own Dragon True Power and his “Dragon Fist” to face Ye Tianchen’s overpowering punch ray… .)
