Chapter 1000: Chapter 999: Divine Art of Four Ounces Moving a Thousand Pounds

[Providing for the family is not easy, I ask everyone for more support through subscriptions, thank you all!]

Ye Tianchen appeared. He helped Hu Gao, blocking the second punch glow of the Golden Strange Cloud; he also engaged in combat with the Golden Strange Cloud. As soon as they exchanged blows, they each took two steps back, a truly evenly matched duel, neither gaining the slightest advantage.

Boom!

The Golden Strange Cloud’s confidence swelled to the extreme, reaching an arrogant pinnacle. Not hearing a response from Ye Tianchen as he spoke, Golden Strange Cloud’s eyes erupted with murderous intent as he punched fiercely towards Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen also remained silent, striking back at the Golden Strange Cloud. The two fought fiercely, their battle was earth-shattering, causing sun and moon to lose their light, astonishing the martial artists around them to quickly retreat, only standing at the edge of Cangmang Mountain to watch this earth-shattering battle. Not a single person dared approach. Fortunately, Hu Gao, during Ye Tianchen’s appearance, was babbling nonsense and got sent flying by Ye Tianchen with a punch, hence he had already distanced himself from the range affected by the Martial Arts Divine Skill. Perhaps this was Ye Tianchen’s intention.

”Wild Beast Golden Fist!”

The Golden Strange Cloud roared, swiftly displaying the martial art absolute skill of his Golden family, seemingly wanting to shock kill Ye Tianchen immediately. He always wanted to defeat Ye Tianchen and kill him. He believed that defeating Ye Tianchen, who stood at the center of attention, would allow him to gain fame and bring great prestige to his Golden family.

As the Golden Strange Cloud unleashed the ”Wild Beast Golden Fist,” Ye Tianchen rapidly retreated, not choosing his usual frontal confrontation tactic, but instead quickly pointed out a finger, sending a golden light directly at the center of the punch glow emitted by the Golden Strange Cloud.

Thud!

Both engaged in battle for more than half an hour without stopping, continuously swinging fists, striking earth-shattering punch glows, wanting to kill each other. Until now, Golden Strange Cloud and Ye Tianchen stood opposed, staring at each other with cold eyes full of intense murderous intent.

”What? The Wild Beast Golden Fist of Golden Strange Cloud was actually broken?”

”No way, this move is the ultimate secret skill of the Golden family, very powerful. Even Tuoba Ye couldn’t gain the slightest advantage against it, having to desperately counter with all his might. How could Ye Tianchen so effortlessly break it?”

”Indeed, Ye Tianchen just pointed out a finger while facing the Golden Strange Cloud’s Wild Beast Golden Fist and broke it. This divine skill is truly astonishing, far beyond typical martial arts absolute skills!”

”It seems like the martial arts divine skill Ye Tianchen used just now is something I’ve heard of before... Could it be...”

”Could it be the legendary martial arts divine skill from the ancient times, the Finger Snapping Skill?”

”Finger Snapping Skill?”

When Ye Tianchen saw the Golden Strange Cloud unleash the ”Wild Beast Golden Fist,” he didn’t resist directly, but swiftly retreated a few steps and gently snapped his finger. This powerful snap contained a mysterious force, and when it struck the Golden Strange Cloud Fist Force, it surprisingly blocked it. This was something no one had expected, not even Golden Strange Cloud himself, who was utterly shocked. Those martial artists present, who had cultivated for a long time, seemed to have guessed that Ye Tianchen used a martial arts divine skill known as the ”Finger Snapping Skill.”

The Finger Snapping Skill was lost in ancient times and is a very mysterious martial arts divine skill, fundamentally different from ordinary martial arts divine skills. Why is this the case? In martial arts cultivation, the pursuit is for the strongest power, and every martial artist aims to stand at the peak, overlooking all beings, achieving eternal life and immortality. Therefore, the strength of one’s power determines many things, which also means that the martial arts divine skills passed down through the ages are all exceptionally powerful. Those that are not powerful or lack earth-shattering force have been drowned in the river of time, with no one choosing to practice such martial arts divine skills.

However, the Finger Snapping Skill is not such an overwhelmingly powerful martial arts divine skill. On the contrary, it employs a kind of skillful force, relying on the practitioner’s keen eye and observational abilities. No martial arts divine skill can claim to be absolutely powerful. There’s a saying that there is always something that can conquer something else. The fundamental meaning is that everything has something that can subdue it, and martial arts divine skills are no exception. Even the most powerful martial arts divine skills have flaws. It’s just that when a martial arts divine skill is too powerful, or its practitioner has reached an untouchable realm, the opponent simply doesn’t have the chance or time to observe and analyze the flaws of that martial arts divine skill. That’s why the Finger Snapping Skill was lost in ancient times, possibly slowly phased out and stopped by subsequent martial artists, or perhaps the last practitioner unexpectedly passed away before passing the skill on.

Ye Tianchen also discovered this from the ”Yijin Jing.” For nearly a month, he has been comprehending the martial arts divine skills recorded in the ”Yijin Jing.” Of course, it’s impossible to fully comprehend them in just a month. Not only does the ”Yijin Jing” record seventy-two martial arts divine skills, but each one is exceptionally powerful, profound, and broad. Even someone as highly talented as Ye Tianchen often feels a headache when trying to comprehend these martial arts divine skills recorded in the ”Yijin Jing,” as they are too esoteric. The deeper he delves, the harder it is to grasp the true essence of these cultivation skills.

”Ye Tianchen, I didn’t expect your combat prowess to be quite strong. Well, that makes it worth my while to go all out. I’ve always heard you like close combat and are confident in your physical body. Today, Golden Strange Cloud is going to fight you up close, to show you what the strongest physical body truly is!” Golden Strange Cloud said coldly, glaring at Ye Tianchen.

Swish!

Standing opposite Golden Strange Cloud, Ye Tianchen transformed into a streak of golden light and charged directly towards Golden Strange Cloud. At this time, Hu Gao, who had been knocked flying by Ye Tianchen’s punch, landed in a bamboo forest not far from Cangmang Mountain. As he fell, he was stopped by a bamboo pole, and upon seeing Ye Tianchen sitting cross-legged beside him, he couldn’t help but startle. Then, with a chuckle, he said, ”Boss, you finally came. If you hadn’t come, you wouldn’t be able to see me anymore, though I know you love me dearly and would surely come to save me, hehe!”

Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged at the top of the bamboo forest, swaying with the bamboo tips. Hearing Hu Gao’s words, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes at this fellow, feeling he was too reckless. If not for his timely arrival and using that ”external incarnation,” Hu Gao would have been blasted to death by Golden Strange Cloud’s second punch.

”You reckless guy, if you died, it would be your own fault!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Boss, that’s not fair to me, and I have to say this to you. First, what’s my last name? Hu, naturally meaning to fool around as my grandfather intended when he named me. Second, why did I risk my life to fight Golden Strange Cloud? It’s because of you, boss. I wanted to vent on your behalf...” Hu Gao was about to launch into a tirade when he was interrupted by Ye Tianchen.

”You stop there, or I’ll likely can’t help but punch you. You’re already half-dead; another punch, and you really won’t survive,” Ye Tianchen warned with a glance at Hu Gao.

”Boss, what do you mean by this? Do you doubt my brotherhood? My loyalty to you? Heaven and earth, oh...”

Hu Gao, playing a prank on himself, was stopped mid-sentence by Ye Tianchen sealing his throat with martial arts true power. No matter how loudly Hu Gao shouted, he couldn’t speak or move. Despite his constant struggling, he couldn’t escape Ye Tianchen’s control and constraint, as Ye Tianchen’s cultivation realm far surpassed his own.

”Enough of this nonsense, kid. Hurry and heal yourself. Later, you should return to Desolate Stone Village. I don’t know when the battle here will end. It’s not just about dealing with a Golden Strange Cloud,” Ye Tianchen said, glancing at Hu Gao.

After speaking, Ye Tianchen slowly closed his eyes. He was not just controlling an external incarnation, using the Bone Transformation Skill, condensing his martial arts true power, and a bit of chaos qi. Most importantly, Ye Tianchen released his strong divine thought, enveloping the entire Cangmang Mountain. He was steadily perceiving, as he had told Dongfang Meng and others, this battle with Golden Strange Cloud. He not only wanted to defeat Golden Strange Cloud but also aimed to lure out the Blood Killing Organization and the Netherworld. These two extremely sinister legacies are truly terrifying. Until now, Ye Tianchen has not grasped much information on the Blood Killing Organization or the Netherworld’s legacies, which would put him at a disadvantage in future battles with these two malicious legacies. More encounters and battles are necessary to learn about the enemy’s situation, which is Ye Tianchen’s plan.

According to Ye Tianchen’s guess, just his appearance in Cangmang Mountain would prompt both the Blood Killing Organization and the Netherworld to make covert moves. Golden Strange Cloud had stirred turmoil across the three major Ancient Martial Worlds, and everyone knew that with Ye Tianchen’s personality, he wouldn’t back down and would surely come to Cangmang Mountain for a battle with Golden Strange Cloud. Ending his life here in Cangmang Mountain would be optimal for the Blood Killing Organization and the Netherworld! (To be continued.
