”Golden Divine Shield!”

”Thunder Arrow!”

These were Ye Tianchen’s superpower Slaughter Skills, a single arrow had shattered the Demon Wolf’s ”Double Wolves Devouring Sky Skill” conjured by the Evil Sword. The giant two-headed wolf that had obscured half of the sky was instantly penetrated in the head by the ”Thunder Arrow,” dissipating into nothing.

The Demon Wolf was shocked. His ”Double Wolves Devouring Sky Skill” had taken nearly ten years to perfect, and no one had ever destroyed it in one strike. The strength of the newcomer must be extremely formidable, perhaps even surpassing that of the Demon Wolf himself. Could there be someone in China more powerful than Man Tian? Could it be that the experts from the Ancient Martial Sect had come?

The Demon Wolf was aware of many matters concerning China. In his eyes, the most likely candidate to come to Man Tian’s aid and possess such ability was someone from the Ancient Martial Sects of China. These Sects, whose mysteries ran deep, were passed down from the times when Earth was still suitable for Cultivation. Hence, these Sects held the most secret techniques and Absolute Skills, with immense power, especially some of the ancient figures who had long withdrawn from the world, who were extraordinarily powerful. Probably only they could destroy his ”Double Wolves Devouring Sky Skill” in one strike!

Whoosh!

At that moment, a figure as fast as lightning rushed forward. The Demon Wolf frowned, glanced at Man Tian lying on the ground barely breathing, took a step forward, and couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His left chest had been pierced by the Golden Light from Man Tian’s palm, and blood continuously dripped down. Although the Demon Wolf tried to muster his strength to finish off Man Tian, he realized he, too, had suffered a life-threatening injury. Man Tian’s strength had taken the Demon Wolf by surprise. Possessing the Evil Sword gave him an advantage, and a successful surprise attack had severely wounded Man Tian. He had thought it would be easy to kill him, but almost lost his own life in the attempt.

Seeing the incredibly fast figure charging over, the Demon Wolf gave up his final strike on Man Tian. Lacking the strength to do so, he gritted his teeth and, with a ferocious swing of the Evil Sword, lunged towards the figure, pointing his sword at the shadow.

Clang!

The collision of sword tips sent the Demon Wolf flying dozens of meters away, crashing heavily into the ground with surprise filling his eyes. Despite his injuries, it was unthinkable to be defeated so miserably. The strength of the newcomer was formidable, carrying a familiar energy aura. Who was this guy?

”Demon Wolf, today is your death day!”

”It’s you...”

When the Demon Wolf saw the person, he couldn’t help but be surprised because the person standing before him was none other than Ye Tianchen. He hadn’t expected the one who destroyed his ”Double Wolves Devouring Sky Skill” with a single arrow to be Ye Tianchen. Although this youngster possessed an intense superpower, he still wasn’t a match for the Demon Wolf. So why did it seem now that Tianchen could fight him on equal ground? How was that possible? In just a few short hours, Ye Tianchen’s strength seemed to have climbed to a new level, becoming even more powerful, which the Demon Wolf found hard to believe and didn’t want to accept.

Ye Tianchen didn’t respond but, holding the Taie Sword and channeling his Origin essence, he swung a sword. A massive burst of sword light descended from the sky and directly cleaved towards the Demon Wolf’s head. As for the Demon Wolf, Ye Tianchen had only one word in mind: Kill!

Bang!

The Demon Wolf swung his sword as well, and the might of the Evil Sword was immense. Its solidity was no less than that of the Taie Sword, and it had a very powerful, evil force; otherwise, it wouldn’t be listed as one of the world’s three most evil weapons.

As the Evil Sword clashed with the Taie Sword, Ye Tianchen didn’t move back at all and instead charged forward swiftly. Killing a master from a distance was difficult; only close combat provided absolute certainty. Meanwhile, the Demon Wolf felt his right arm ache from the shock, and glancing at it, he saw the base of his palm had split. How could this young Chinese man have improved so drastically in such a short time? The Demon Wolf wished he could kill Ye Tianchen; otherwise, if allowed to grow, he would undoubtedly become a great threat.

Unfortunately, in the exchange of blows between the Demon Wolf and Ye Tianchen, not only was the base of his right palm split, blood dripping out, but he also felt the life essence within him rapidly draining. The wound in his left chest continued to spurt blood, and if this went on, he was undoubtedly doomed.

Startled, the Demon Wolf frowned and roared. Out of his mouth, he spat out a ferocious black wolf with blood-red eyes full of killing intent, which pounced towards Ye Tianchen.

”Bring it on!”

Ye Tianchen let out a low shout and also opened his mouth to issue a ”Tao” sound that shattered the black wolf instantly and also sent the Demon Wolf flying. When Ye Tianchen had opened up his Heart Meridian Acupoint, he entered a profound realm and comprehended this ”Tao” character, whose power was extremely great. This was his second experiment with it.

”Don’t chase him; you still can’t kill him!”

Just as Ye Tianchen was about to pursue his victory, he heard the somewhat weak voice of Man Tian. Glancing back at Man Tian, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but frown. Covered in blood, Man Tian looked like a heap of mud embedded in the rubble. It appeared that all his bones and sinews were broken, and likely even the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand, Zhang Yide, couldn’t treat him.

Ye Tianchen also released his powerful Superpower Perception and could no longer sense the presence of the Demon Wolf. He didn’t believe that his ”Taoism” character had shock-killed the Demon Wolf. The creature was a ferociously strong one, and if it hadn’t been for Man Tian’s serious injury, it wouldn’t have been easy for Ye Tianchen to send it flying like that.

Approaching Man Tian, Ye Tianchen still wore a smile. He held great respect for Man Tian—not for Man Tian’s status but for his strength. Although Man Tian could be ill-tempered, he was a forthright and staunch person; he honored loyalty and brotherhood. Overall, he was commendable.

”How are you holding up? Can you still walk? You almost killed the Demon Wolf; that shows strength!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Heh, you kid actually made a breakthrough in such a short time. It seems that sealing your Heart Meridian Acupoint really did you a favor. Shouldn’t you treat me to a meal?” Man Tian joked with a smile.

”That’s certainly no problem. I’m looking forward to a full recovery and then a fight with you, right? You want to battle me too, don’t you?” Ye Tianchen looked at Man Tian and counter-questioned.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Man Tian’s eyes brightened, flashing with a fighting spirit, but he felt he didn’t even have the strength to stand up. Not only were his bones and muscles shattered, but his internal organs were also broken. Man Tian understood his condition all too well.

Glancing at Ye Tianchen, Man Tian thought for a moment and then said, ”I’ve already placed the Heavenly Gang Ring in your pocket. From now on, you are the General Commander of the Heavenly Gang War General’s team. I hope you can lead the brothers of the Heavenly Gang War Generals to protect our country and prevent these covetous bandits from succeeding against our Chinese land!”

”You’re kidding, right? I’m not suited for being an official; forget it!” Ye Tianchen outright refused.

”You... you have the capability, and it can only be you to lead this team. There’s no one else suitable. Promise me!” Man Tian urged earnestly, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”I can’t. I can agree to anything else, but not this.” Ye Tianchen said without room for negotiation.

Spurt!

Man Tian coughed up a mouthful of blood. Ye Tianchen was stunned for a moment and quickly walked over to Man Tian, placing his right hand on Man Tian’s chest, preparing to transfer his powerful superpower energy to him. However, Man Tian suddenly grabbed Ye Tianchen’s right hand and said, ”No need, it’s useless. Promise me, become the General Commander of the Heavenly Gang War General’s troop...”

Looking into Man Tian’s eyes, Ye Tianchen was taken aback. He understood what Man Tian meant, but he truly couldn’t agree. By nature, Ye Tianchen was someone who disliked constraints. His ultimate goal was to pursue the end of the Cultivation Path and to discover the secrets of Eternal Life. He didn’t want too many ties; if not for his parents and little sister, he would have probably already gone searching for the lost Ancient Transmission Array and found a way to leave Earth.

”This is something I really...” Ye Tianchen shook his head. Knowing Man Tian didn’t have much time left, he didn’t want Man Tian to leave with regrets, but forcing himself against his conscience to agree to this matter was something he truly couldn’t do.

”Ye Tianchen, promise me. Promise me...” Man Tian clutched Ye Tianchen’s right hand tightly, saying in a low growl.

Ye Tianchen was completely taken aback. He felt Man Tian’s recognition and Man Tian’s patriotic sentiment. Humans are not heartless plants; at this moment, Ye Tianchen was genuinely moved.

”Help me up...”

Man Tian was already struggling to keep up and didn’t wait for Ye Tianchen’s answer before forcibly propping up his body to stand. Ye Tianchen hurried to support Man Tian, whose body had been shattered but not burst apart.

Slowly standing, Man Tian looked at the sky, which had cleared of dark clouds long ago, with a ray of sunlight now falling down. A trace of a smile appeared on his lips as he mused aloud, ”I gave up ten years of cultivation to become the General Commander of the Heavenly Gang War General’s troop and have never regreted it. Being a Chinese, a people who struggled out of hardship, I am proud... Loyally serving my country!”

After this declaration, Man Tian lowered his head, yet he didn’t fall. A man with an iron will, even in death, he would stand. Such was Man Tian! (To be continued.
