Bang!

Ye Tianchen had his acupoint sealed by Man Tian and was thrown thousands of meters, crashing deep into the Original Forest, landing on the ground and smashing a huge rock into pieces. Ye Tianchen’s flesh had long been strong enough to be impervious to swords and spears. Ordinary swords, spears, and modern weapons couldn’t injure him. However, what frustrated him was that Man Tian had unexpectedly sealed his acupoint and thrown him out of the battlefield. He had already activated the peak combat power of the Emperor-level Superpower Realm, achieving the realm of fighting across levels and was ready to engage in a fierce battle with Demon Wolf - a powerful opponent that Tianchen did not want to miss the opportunity to fight.

After hearing the last words Man Tian said to him, Ye Tianchen was stunned. He thought back to the first punch exchanged between Man Tian and Demon Wolf, and the subtle detail he had noticed. Considering this, Man Tian truly was in danger, especially now that Demon Wolf wielded the Evil Sword – one of the three most malevolent weapons in the world, its power surpassing even the Soul Stealing Great Saber, second only to the Soul-devouring Bow. Despite Man Tian’s strength, he was, after all, over forty years old while Demon Wolf appeared to be just over thirty. As the saying goes, strength fears youth, unless one truly embarks on the path of cultivation and overcomes the barrier of age, otherwise, the elderly are likely to suffer from physical inadequacies.

”No, I must unseal my acupoint quickly. Whether it is Man Tian who gets killed by Demon Wolf or Demon Wolf killed by Man Tian, I will lose a great opportunity to battle a strong adversary. I need the strength of Demon Wolf to enhance my combat power and activate the superpower within me!”

With this in mind, Ye Tianchen lay amidst the rubble, motionless and unable to move, closing his eyes and using his Divine Sense to control the powerful superpower within his Dantian. He slowly directed this force towards the area in his chest where the acupoint had been sealed by Man Tian.

To Ye Tianchen’s surprise, he was able to achieve the ability of Inner Vision through Divine Sense, clearly observing the condition of his meridians and the flow of energy within his body. When he directed a powerful surge of superpower towards the acupoint sealed by Man Tian, he was shocked to find that the sealed acupoint did not budge. Man Tian’s skill in sealing acupoints was indeed masterful, combined with his formidable strength, making it difficult for Ye Tianchen to unseal the acupoint in a short time.

”It seems I have to use the origin power. It’s a pity that I used too much energy at the beginning. Now, using origin power will definitely cause great damage to my body. Unsealing the acupoint and then going to battle with Demon Wolf likely means certain death!”

Ye Tianchen still worried inside. He was not afraid of dying, but he had too many tasks to accomplish and could not afford to die. If he forcibly unsealed the acupoint, resulting in injury to himself, going to battle against Demon Wolf in such a condition would undoubtedly lead to defeat, not only failing to defeat Demon Wolf but also unable to assist Man Tian.

Gradually, Ye Tianchen’s body sat up cross-legged from the pile of rubble. This was not because his hands and feet could move, but rather he controlled the powerful superpower within him using Divine Sense, allowing the superpower to release externally, slightly altering his body’s form, which facilitated the breaking of the acupoint.

At this time, in the Original Forest, a world-shocking battle had already erupted. Fortunately, this place was uninhabited and inaccessible to ordinary people, otherwise, the shock alone might have killed many. Man Tian and Demon Wolf were still exchanging blows, their strikes causing the air to explode with a force capable of destroying everything. These two were among the top masters on Earth, possessing insanely strong abilities that were hard to imagine.

Bang!

With a loud crash, Man Tian and Demon Wolf exchanged punches, their fists colliding and sparking like metal, both were repelled several meters apart, standing mid-air, coldly watching each other.

”Man Tian, your strength hasn’t improved much, which is very disappointing to me!” Demon Wolf shook his head and said.

”Even if only a layer of my skill remains, it’s still enough to kill demons and expel evil,” Man Tian retorted fiercely.

”Stop pretending, you have already lost. It seems you really have aged, and since becoming the Chief Commander of the Heavenly Gang War Generals, you have neglected your cultivation. This battle is doomed to end with your death!” Demon Wolf said indifferently.

Without another word, Man Tian launched a punch at Demon Wolf, a surge of vast fist energy bursting forth, forming a pale yellow giant dragon. This was a transformational result of using powerful Inner Strength; one should not think it was merely an illusion. At high levels of power, such transformations greatly enhance the attack power. Achieving such a transformation with Inner Strength, like Man Tian’s punch-by-punch transformational attacks, was terrifyingly powerful.

Boom!

Facing Man Tian’s resolutely incoming punch, Demon Wolf also mustered all his strength and threw a punch. Man Tian’s fist energy was a pale yellow giant dragon, while Demon Wolf’s fist energy transformed into a pitch-black wolf with blood-red eyes, as if possessed by a demon.

The pale yellow dragon collided with the demon-possessed wolf, unleashing enormous force; both exploded violently, their forms completely shattered in the process.

”Your Demon Wolf Fist hasn’t improved at all. Over the years, aside from obtaining the Evil Sword, you haven’t gained anything else!” Man Tian said indifferently to the Demon Wolf.

”You’re wrong; my gains are becoming stronger than you, now possessing enough power to kill you. I won’t let you escape as you did back then!”

The Demon Wolf’s face contorted into a sinister grin as he spoke. Man Tian suddenly sensed impending doom and furrowed his brows as he quickly retreated, but it was already too late. The punch strength of the Demon Wolf Fist, transformed into a colossal black wolf, collided with the pale yellow dragon of true power released by Man Tian. Both exploded on impact, and then, surprisingly, merged together into ten colossal black wolves, all manifestations of the Demon Wolf’s punching power, charging at Man Tian.

Bang, bang, bang...

As Man Tian rapidly retreated, he constantly swung his fists to strike. Each of his punches could shatter one of the colossal black wolves, but since these wolves were manifestations of energy, shattering one caused it to multiply—from one to two, and two to three—until finally there were hundreds of them, all charging toward Man Tian.

”This is the signature technique of my Demon Wolf Fist—the Pack of Wolves Devouring Souls. To master this technique, I do not know how many fierce beasts and humans I have killed. It is designed specifically to kill you, Man Tian!” the Demon Wolf said with a venomous laugh.

At this moment, Man Tian could only continuously dodge and keep punching, but he was temporarily unable to break through the Demon Wolf’s ultimate technique—Pack of Wolves Devouring Souls. This move was truly formidable; these ferocious wolves capable of tearing people to shreds were not actual beings; they were all transformations of potent energy. Once shattered, they did not disappear, as lifeless entities could not be killed. Moreover, once these energy-formed colossal wolves made contact, they triggered massive energy explosions, unbearable to anyone.

The Demon Wolf’s strength had indeed grown, far beyond Man Tian’s expectations. He had not only acquired the Evil Sword but also significantly enhanced his own prowess, especially the self-developed Demon Wolf Fist, which had grown tremendously powerful, far beyond Man Tian’s anticipation.

As proficient fighters know, the stronger one’s skill, the harder it becomes to break through one’s limits. Many are stuck at a certain realm for a lifetime, unable to attain breakthroughs in their cultivation. Just as the Demon Wolf mentioned, Man Tian had not gained much in strength over the years, mainly because after he took over as the commander of the Heavenly Gang, he had been too busy, lacking even the time to eat or sleep, let alone cultivate.

”Flame Dragon Roar Sky Fist!”

Suddenly, Man Tian let out a loud cry, unleashing a golden dragon with a punch. This dragon was not very large but emitted a radiating golden light. Each claw it struck was sure to devour one of the black wolves, not by shattering them, but by swallowing them whole, confining them in its belly.

Splat!

A splash of blood burst from Man Tian’s left chest, caused by a human hand that had completely penetrated his left chest. At some point, the Demon Wolf had appeared behind him, with his right hand formed into a claw, piercing directly through Man Tian’s left chest, resulting in a gory sight of flowing blood.

Bang!

Bearing the intense pain, Man Tian kicked the Demon Wolf flying with a single blow, nearly collapsing himself. He furrowed his brows tightly, deeply shocked; he hadn’t expected the Demon Wolf to move so swiftly. While breaking his ”Pack of Wolves Devouring Souls” technique, the Demon Wolf had managed to sneak up behind him and inflict a critical wound. It seemed this battle was truly beyond him, and with such a severe injury, he might indeed die here.

The Demon Wolf, sent flying by Man Tian’s kick, endured the surprise impact. As he spit out blood from his mouth, his injury seemed trivial compared to Man Tian’s chest being penetrated. The Demon Wolf was barely affected in his combat prowess.

”Do you know why I didn’t use the Evil Sword? Because I wanted to kill you with my bare hands, for a more satisfying thrill!” The Demon Wolf glanced at Man Tian, even licked Man Tian’s blood off his hand, and spoke with a grotesquely gleeful smile.
