CHAPTER 868: CHAPTER 867 [MISFORTUNE DOES NOT COME ALONE]

[PS: Today’s first update delivered. Please subscribe!!!]

Ye Tianchen had no idea that Xu Zigang and the vicious old ghost were already heading towards Zhongnanhai. Additionally, he didn’t know that Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui had already arrived at his residence, intending to harm his mother and little sister. The crisis he was facing was not just a mere trifle.

"Qin Mingshan holds a deep-seated grudge against Ye Tianchen!" Yang Gui teased with a smirk.

"Qin Mingshan always believed his physical body was invincible, thinking no one could match his physique. It was a shock to him when Ye Tianchen’s body proved even stronger, especially when Qin Mingshan used his physically powerful Dragon Fist and was still repelled by Ye Tianchen. This shook his confidence greatly, causing him to hate Ye Tianchen to the core. Now that he can kill Ye Tianchen’s relatives, it would certainly vent some of his anger, so let’s not interfere and just watch the show," Hu Changhe said coldly.

Qin Mingshan made his move. Upon reaching Ye Tianchen’s villa, he didn’t hesitate and immediately flew towards it. However, just as he rushed forward, a light barrier enveloped the entire villa. Qin Mingshan frowned, and Hu Changhe and Yang Gui, not far off, were also taken aback.

"It seems Ye Tianchen anticipated this day, so he set up a formation around the villa to protect his family," Hu Changhe remarked.

"It’s useless. I already used my Divine Thought to check; Ye Tianchen is not in the villa. For his ordinary mother and sister, killing them is as easy as lifting a finger. Besides, an unmanaged formation is easy to break," Yang Gui said nonchalantly.

Hu Changhe nodded. Ye Tianchen’s strength was unexpected for him, yet despite not being defeated in the battle at Nine Dragon Mountain, they were astonished by Ye Tianchen’s strength, which surpassed his cultivation realm. It was the first time they encountered someone with greater strength than their cultivation realm, making Ye Tianchen an extraordinary anomaly. Generally, a martial artist’s cultivation realm is proportional to their strength. However, Ye Tianchen’s strength was not equivalent to his realm, which puzzled them and caught them off guard, nearly leading to shock kill by Ye Tianchen. Despite this, they believed Ye Tianchen wasn’t invincible. With the same Mid-stage Martial Sovereign cultivation realm, they weren’t afraid of Ye Tianchen; they just needed to be cautious. Although Ye Tianchen set up a guardian array around his villa, it wasn’t so challenging to dismantle without him controlling it. Qin Mingshan should be able to break it effortlessly.

"Hmph, just a small guardian array, and you think it can stop me? Ignorant fool!" Qin Mingshan snorted coldly. His entire body erupted with powerful Gang Qi. Instead of attempting to break the formation deliberately, he chose to charge right into it, confident in his physical prowess. In his view, this small guardian array wouldn’t be able to stop him. He believed that even if he crashed into it, he would break through, and there would be no consequences for him.

Bam!

A huge noise reverberated as the ground trembled, but the inside of the villa remained calm as ever. This demonstrated the formidable nature of the guardian array Ye Tianchen had set up. As for Qin Mingshan, he was sent flying backward, nearly sustaining serious injuries. If not for Hu Changhe’s intervention using Martial Arts True Power to pull him back, Qin Mingshan would have indeed been severely injured.

"How could this be? How could this be?" Qin Mingshan shouted in disbelief.

"It seems this formation is not simple, that little bastard Ye Tianchen must have prepared well in advance!" Hu Changhe cursed harshly.

"Something feels off. With your formidable physique, this is just a guardian array, and without Ye Tianchen here to control it, the array shouldn’t unleash its full power. It shouldn’t be unbreakable!" Yang Gui said, furrowing his brow.

Qin Mingshan clenched his fists tightly, his anger uncontainable. He launched a punch towards the villa, releasing a powerful Gang Wind Fist Power straight at it. Both Hu Changhe and Yang Gui watched closely, eager to see if Qin Mingshan could break the formation this time and curious about the nature of this powerful array.

Bam!

Swoosh!

Qin Mingshan’s fist struck the villa, blocked by the formation’s light barrier. At the same instant, a powerful sword light slashed down with immense Sword Qi, prompting Hu Changhe and Yang Gui to fly away quickly, while Qin Mingshan also instantly dodged.

As the sword light fell, though it didn’t hit Qin Mingshan, it illuminated the night sky, leaving a phantom image in the air. This sight sent a chill down the spines of Qin Mingshan, Hu Changhe, and Yang Gui. If they had been struck by that sword light, they would have turned into blood mist, losing their lives for certain.

"Such a powerful formation. This is definitely not an ordinary guardian formation; it must possess extraordinary strength," Hu Changhe couldn’t help but say.

"That little bastard Ye Tianchen, who knows where he learned this Martial Arts Divine Skill. It’s too shocking. He must have some formidable cultivation skills and treasures. After killing him, we must not miss acquiring those," Yang Gui said fiercely.

"Dammit, I couldn’t beat you with pure physical strength at Nine Dragon Mountain, and now you’ve set up a formation here. Do you think I, Qin Mingshan, can’t break it? Today, I’ll destroy this villa and see your mother and sister die a horrible death. Let’s see what you can do about it," Qin Mingshan, like a madman, charged at the villa again, repeatedly throwing punches to forcefully confront the formation.

Hu Changhe and Yang Gui exchanged a glance. They knew this formation was extremely powerful and not easy to break. It was difficult for Qin Mingshan to accomplish it alone, so they joined in the attack on the formation, all wanting to make Ye Tianchen suffer immensely.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The ground trembled as if an earthquake had struck. Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui continuously unleashed Martial Arts True Power, fiercely attacking to break the formation Ye Tianchen had set up around his residential villa. As for the rest of the people in the villa area who were awakened by the noise, they were scared out of their wits, thinking there was an earthquake and only knew to keep fleeing for their lives.

Buzz!

Ye Tianchen, who had just secured the Chief Number One, Vice Chairman Yang, Elder Jiang, and Elder Hu, the four highest leaders, in the "Holy Heaven Prison" for their protection, suddenly felt a tremor in his mind. Alarmed, he could sense that someone was attacking the formation surrounding the residential villa. When he established the "Four Phases Golden Body Formation," he had placed a strand of Divine Thought inside it precisely to hold off attackers momentarily during critical moments when powerful adversaries might launch an assault on his family and friends, buying him some time to rush back.

"Not good, I must rush back immediately, or else my mother and little sister will be in life-threatening danger."

Thinking this, Ye Tianchen already moved, vanishing from his original spot and appearing above Zhongnanhai. Just as he was about to use the Divine Movement Skill to leave, a gigantic hand appeared out of thin air, reaching down to grab him, its aura overwhelming enough to cover the sky and earth.

Boom!

A streak of golden light shot out. Ye Tianchen, his expression stern, struck with a Vajra Divine Fist. He could feel the power of the sudden assailant was very strong, but still not enough to truly catch him.

Bam!

The golden fist light collided with that hand, standing at a stalemate. As Ye Tianchen looked forward, two figures appeared before him: one was Old Vulture Ghost, the other was Xu Zigang.

"Not a weak combat strength. Since when did China have such powerful martial artists? How come I didn’t know?" Xu Zigang asked Ye Tianchen with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"If my assumption is correct, you must be Xu Zigang?" Ye Tianchen asked Xu Zigang seriously.

"That’s right, and if my assumption is correct, you must be Ye Tianchen?" Xu Zigang looked at Ye Tianchen calmly.

"Did you come today intending to assassinate several old leaders?" Ye Tianchen asked.

"It’s not just about that. I also need to find something. If I find it, so be it. If not, there will be no more peace in all of China," Xu Zigang said coldly.

"I now have one task, which is to kill you, this ant. You have attacked my two disciples, and as their master, I cannot stand by. I only used thirty percent of my strength in the last move; this time will be all of it!"

Old Vulture Ghost’s words had just fallen when another palm fell towards Ye Tianchen, extremely forceful and domineering, paying no heed to Ye Tianchen, truly regarding him as an ant to be crushed with a single move.

Rumble!

Ye Tianchen’s whole body reacted, instantly using the "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill," adding it to his own body. He couldn’t see through the cultivation of Old Vulture Ghost and Xu Zigang, meaning their cultivation realms were above his own, and their combat power was extremely strong and terrifying. It would be very difficult to kill these two, and worried about his mother and little sister, Ye Tianchen had no intention of a prolonged fight. He wanted a quick battle to free his hands rapidly and rush to the residential villa, or else his mother and little sister would be in grave danger.

"Such powerful Martial Arts True Power, let me see how much strength you, this ant, truly have!" Old Vulture Ghost still struck a palm down, just with a few degrees more Martial Arts True Power, aiming to crush Ye Tianchen in one move. .)
