Chapter 644: Is He Still Human?
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Boom!
The area where Su Tianhong previously stood turned into a cloud of dust. At the bottom of it was a fist-sized hole about three meters deep! Thin lines were cracking outward from the edge of the hole.
Gasp—
Everyone at the scene could not hold back their gasps. Members of the Su family trembled in fear and quickly backed away.
Displaying such a powerful feat so easily. He was much stronger than Huo Shan. Just a simple wave from him carried such destructive power. That was too scary. It was as though he was a missile in human form.
“That’s the Mo family’s Heart Destruction Palm. Once struck, it would spread and corrode the organs nearby. It’s really terrifying!”
Su Tianhong’s eyes were filled with terror, not daring to comment further.
“That’s right. The Heart Destruction Palm can destroy one’s meridians. It’s passed down from the Breeze Watch Sect of Green City Mountain. With a palm strike, I can silently place a mark in a person that will eventually trigger a chain reaction. It will corrode the meridians of that person and kill him with excruciating pain! It’s incurable unless an Innate Stage martial artist intervenes!”
With that said, he placed his hands behind him and swept his gaze through the crowd with a smug grin, saying, “Miracle Doctor Y, what do you think about this technique?”
Everyone felt their heart freeze over with fear.
Corroding one’s meridians, offering certain doom in absolute despair. Just the thought of the pain it would bring struck fear into them.
It was too cruel and terrifying!
Su Qingxue felt her body go limp and slumped to the floor from the shock.
Nobody dared to utter a sound anymore. Even Su Tianhong at the half-step Innate Stage was unable to fight back. They could be killed at any given moment. The gap between them was just too big.
“You think you can show off before me with only this technique?”
Nobody expected Ye Lingchen to remain calm and even scoff at him.
“You’re asking for it!”
Mo Tianqi’s expression turned extremely cold. He had just come out from seclusion, feeling great about himself. He felt like he was on the top of the world, at the perfect moment to show off his power. Ye Lingchen’s attitude insulted him.
“It seems you’re really full of yourself. I’ll have you submit.” Ye Lingchen was calm. He slowly rose from his seat and suddenly took a step forward!
They were 10 meters apart, but when Ye Lingchen took a step, it was as though he teleported, appearing before Mo Tianqi in an instant. He then raised his hand casually and sent a fist at Mo Tianqi!
Bang!
It was the first exchange between the two of them. Mo Tianqi had a smug look on him. He raised his right hand and slowly opened his palm. Within his palm, he seemed to be holding onto an invisible wind that flowed between his fingers. He then slammed it downwards like a hammer!
In an instant, their fist and palm separated. Mo Tianqi’s body shook and his unsteady body moved back a little.
‘This guy is strong!’
Mo Tianqi’s pupils shrunk. His heart was wavering and his right hand felt a tingling pain. Ye Lingchen’s fist strike on him felt like tens of thousands of kilograms worth of force.
At the same time, he sensed a familiar aura on Ye Lingchen. It was spiritual energy.
“You’re also at the Innate Stage?!”
Mo Tianqi shouted in astonishment, filled with disbelief.
He understood fully how difficult it was to reach the Innate Stage. It required talent, technique, opportunity, and luck. None were optional. He was confident that all the martial artists that achieved the Innate Stage within the past hundred years could be counted with one’s hand. How could this kid be at the Innate Stage?
However, right then, he did not continue his speculations, for Ye Lingchen was already approaching him with another step.
“Heart Destruction Palm—Mountain Mover.”
Mo Tianqi moved his palm in a circular motion like that of the Tai Chi symbol, carrying a hint of tenderness in the movement. His legs were firmly placed on the ground. At that moment, his entire being was like a mountain. Although the strength of his hands looked weak, they coiled around Ye Lingchen’s wrist like iron chains. It felt similar to the ‘Adherence’ part of Tai Chi.
Along with the circular motion, the spiritual energy around him rushed over and formed a vortex. Any regular martial artist would not be able to resist as they were dragged along Mo Tianqi’s rhythm, being pulled along by his palm.
In that instant, Ye Lingchen was restricted by invisible shackles. If not broken, Mo Tianqi’s palm would end up striking his chest, shattering his heart with a strike, killing him immediately!
“How will he counter this technique?”
The crowd kept their eyes peeled. Although they were not in the fight, they could feel the danger of that technique. The Heart Destruction Palm was just too terrifying. The slightest mistake would lead to death.
“This is truly a wonderful technique.”
Ye Lingchen smiled. His hands remained in fist form. At the same time, the spiritual energy around him started vibrating.
“Arhat’s Fist Force—Void’s Embrace!”
Arhat’s Fist Force was at the intermediate level. Even if Ye Lingchen did not acquire the Cultivation skill, it was sufficient to direct the surrounding spiritual energy and attack as he wished. That one punch was filled with terrifying destructive power.
The last time he used Arhat’s Fist Force was against the martial artist from the Earth’s Gate of the Sun Nation. That martial artist was an adept of the Inner Force Stage. When competing against Ye Lingchen with Inner Force, he was crushed by Ye Lingchen. By now, Ye Lingchen had the support of his spiritual energy from Cultivation, and his Eight Extremities Brute Training was upgraded to the advanced level. The power he had now was leagues beyond what he previously had!
To the crowd, Ye Lingchen’s fist was surrounded by explosive sounds. The sounds grew louder and increasingly dense. It finally coalesced into a singular thunderous boom. The next instant, the air shook as a wave of overwhelming Qi force exploded forth from Ye Lingchen’s fist!
Kaboom!
The air exploded with sparks flying. Mo Tianqi’s technique was immediately blasted apart. To the observers, the air between the two fighters formed a mushroom cloud. The high temperature that resulted from that exchange distorted the view around them.
Arhat’s Fist Force’s destructive power seemed to sweep everything away!
“What technique is that?”
Mo Tianqi was horrified, backing off urgently once again.
In his first exchange, he thought it was because he underestimated his opponent. However, this clash made him realize Ye Lingchen’s actual strength, striking fear into his heart.
They could see that Mo Tianqi’s palms were red hot and shaking. It was obviously caused by the impact of the previous explosion whose power was comparable to that of regular explosives.
Meanwhile, Ye Lingchen was still unharmed. He had the Eight Extremities Brute Training, making it difficult for him to be harmed.
Arhat’s Fist was indeed no match for Heart Destruction Palm. However, with the support of the system and the upgraded Arhat’s Fist Force at the intermediate level, it was stronger than the Heart Destruction Palm!
It was, after all, the almighty system.
“Innate Stage martial artists are truly capable!” Ye Lingchen laughed out loud. He felt excited as he once again had a higher goal to aim for in martial arts.
To a regular person, an Innate Stage martial artist could be considered a godlike existence.
“Again!” Ye Lingchen stomped hard on the ground and crossed his fists. It immediately caused a huge suction force that pulled all the spiritual energy around him toward him, coalescing in his fists!
Due to the high density of spiritual energy, it condensed into a dense fog that surrounded his fists, enveloping them.
“Spiritual mist condensation?!”
Mo Tianqi’s eyes narrowed. His voice raised to a higher pitch and was visibly shaking.
Anyone that arrived at the Innate Stage would be able to direct the spiritual energy outside their bodies. However, there was a limit. The stronger a person was in that stage, the more they could utilize it. Another alternative was to use a stronger technique as that would also attract more spiritual energy.
Whatever the cause, it was bad news for Mo Tianqi.
Ye Lingchen’s move was extremely domineering. It was no longer at the level of just directing spiritual energy, but exerted full control!
‘Just what kind of monster is this?’ Even Mo Tianqi felt his scalp go numb.
“Here’s another fist. Shuddering Mountain!”
Ye Lingchen’s fists were already enveloped by mist, looking like the kamehameha from the wuxia TV series. He then sent his fist forward. The overwhelming storm of spiritual energy immediately charged at Mo Tianqi!
Mo Tianqi backed off urgently. All the hair on his body stood on end as a sense of danger he never experienced before came rushing at him.
He instinctively knew not to take that strike head-on. If he did, he would be torn to pieces by that rampaging storm of spiritual energy.
Crackle!
As expected, after the spiritual energy brushed past him and went deep into the park, all the trees along its path burst open. That’s right, they exploded instantly. Wood chips filled the sky. It ran through a dozen trees without any sign of weakening, going on until it hit a steel pole in the park’s plaza!
Boom!
The pole immediately crumbled as pieces of stone flew about.
Everyone was flabbergasted with their jaws dropped. Was that something a human can do?
Ye Lingchen himself was shocked. ‘F*ck, I’ve gone overboard.’
He had to be careful in the future. If he continued growing like this, it would be troublesome if he accidentally cracked the Earth.
“F*ck!”
Even Mo Tianqi could not resist exclaiming profanities. He was so scared witless that he jumped from the shock. All his hairs were standing on end.
However, Ye Lingchen did not waste any words with him and gave chase. He is no longer bothered with flashy moves. Instead, he started fighting with Mo Tianqi using basic techniques.
Bang, bang!
Ye Lingchen had many techniques: Dragon-catching Hand, Arhat’s Fist Force, Eight Extremities Brute Training, and so on. He cycled through them constantly. His moves were ever-changing but simple. Moreover, each move contained tremendous power, enough to crack a mountain!
Mo Tianqi was shocked to his core, sweating bullets. He executed Heart Destruction Palm at maximum output, nullifying each attack with great difficulty. Spiritual energy was gathering around them, swirling about.
“Hahaha, not bad!”
Ye Lingchen was excited to finally meet an expert. Only with other experts would he be motivated.
If there was no pressure, he would most likely be complacent with his current situation, feeling that his martial arts were sufficiently strong and had no need to train any further. However, at that moment, he felt the need to further raise his strength and collect more techniques. Who knows when he would run into another powerful expert?
Since he had the system, Ye Lingchen could not afford to be passive. He needed to prepare in advance and eliminate all the uncontrollable variables.
Mo Tianqi had lost his edge while Ye Lingchen was getting ever more excited. Forming a claw from his Dragon-catching Hand, he bypassed Mo Tianqi’s palm and clawed at his shoulder. Mo Tianqi’s entire sleeve was immediately torn to shreds.
“This is fun!”
That was an enjoyable battle that Ye Lingchen enjoyed greatly. He did not expect Mo Tianqi to hold out after he used all his moves. An Innate Stage martial artist was truly extraordinary.
Although Ye Lingchen could quickly crush Mo Tianqi if he used his ultimate move, that would not let him enjoy this to the fullest. It was rare to meet such an opponent. Killing him outright would be a waste.
While Ye Lingchen was enjoying himself, Mo Tianqi was feeling terrible. He was at his limit, almost vomiting blood from his frustration.
‘Just what kind of monster is this? His body is crazily strong and he knows so many techniques. Moreover, his control of spiritual energy is terrifying. Most importantly, he’s still so young! Is he hacking!?’
