Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1010: Chapter 1009: Power and Tactics

Ye Tianchen’s own Martial Arts True Power had almost been depleted, with very little Martial Arts True Qi remaining in his dantian. This was why, after the death of the Golden Strange Cloud and when the mysterious man escaped, Ye Tianchen did not pursue, choosing not to engage in a deadly battle with the aggressive Demon Slayer Old Man.

Suddenly, just when everyone thought Ye Tianchen was not a match for the Demon Slayer Old Man, and might either choose to flee or find a way to escape, Ye Tianchen disappeared in a flash and reappeared, choosing an unexpected third option. With an invincible demeanor of the Overlord’s descent, he unleashed the Overlord Fist towards the Demon Slayer Old Man, filling the sky with an unbelievably powerful punch. After a series of violent bombardments, Ye Tianchen was left pale and drenched in cold sweat, clearly showing signs of Martial Arts True Power overexertion. However, upon looking at the Demon Slayer Old Man, although disheveled and forcibly pushed back several hundred meters, he managed to fend off Ye Tianchen’s barrage of punches with his own formidable cultivation and the might of the Yuehuang Shield. One couldn’t help but admire this old thing’s toughness.

Yet everyone, including the Demon Slayer Old Man, thought Ye Tianchen was fighting like a trapped beast, having lost his senses and battle strategy, acting randomly and wasting his Martial Arts True Power. Suddenly, the Demon Slayer Old Man was startled, as he felt he had entered a mysterious space, and upon turning around, he found himself imprisoned in the ”Holy Heaven Prison,” having been completely unprepared beforehand.

”You... you little brat, when did you... So you didn’t care about anything and launched your punches just to distract me, and when you disappeared, you had already hidden the Holy Heaven Prison behind me, hadn’t you?” The Demon Slayer Old Man suddenly thought of something and looked at Ye Tianchen coldly.

”Old thing, though you might be old, your mind remains sharp!” Ye Tianchen looked at the Demon Slayer Old Man calmly and said.

It turns out, when Ye Tianchen was being pursued by the Demon Slayer Old Man with the Yuehuang Shield, he kept dodging to avoid the Power of Slaughter from the Shield. In that instant, he thought of this method, which is why he used the Divine Movement Skill to its fullest, disappearing in the air. During that short disappearance, he secretly placed the Holy Heaven Prison behind this old fellow, then recklessly used the punch force of Overlord Fist at Great Achievement Realm to forcibly push the Demon Slayer Old Man into the hidden prison.

The use of Divine Movement Skill to disappear instantly was for secretly placing the Holy Heaven Prison behind him. Recklessly striking with the Overlord Fist to bombard this old fellow prevented him from attending to anything else, forcing him to only defend with the Yuehuang Shield, thus focusing all his attention on resisting the punch force, unconsciously being driven into the Holy Heaven Prison without realizing it.

Ye Tianchen thought, with the Demon Slayer Old Man’s combat strength and experience, it was difficult to imprison him only by direct force in the Holy Heaven Prison. Only by using such tactical maneuvering could the Demon Slayer Old Man be subdued. The Fire God Gourd already had no flames from the Fire Domain, so he could only rely on the Holy Heaven Prison. He realized that only this supreme mysterious treasure might trap the Demon Old Thing. Ye Tianchen had not yet learned how to trap people with the Fire God Gourd, as its main use was for attacks.

Buzz!

After the Demon Slayer Old Man was trapped in the Holy Heaven Prison, Ye Tianchen focused his mind, sealing a stream of Chaos Qi at the entrance. The Demon Slayer Old Man coldly glanced and said, ”There have been legends about the Holy Heaven Prison since ancient times. This supreme treasure’s strength and mystery are unknown, and it is indeed a great fortune for you to obtain it. Unfortunately, it will soon fall into my hands since you simply cannot unleash its true power...”

Rumble!

The Demon Old Thing acted, striking towards the Chaos Qi with a palm. After a loud noise, the Holy Heaven Prison only slightly trembled, not breaking at all. Even with the full force of the Demon Slayer Old Man’s strike, it didn’t open a path, and his eyes shot out a killing intent. Evidently, he hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to already control the Chaos Qi within the Holy Heaven Prison to such an extent. And just like the legends, the Chaos Qi was indestructibly strong yet could penetrate anything. This fundamental power of the universe was unassailably powerful, making even opening a crack extremely difficult, let alone breaking it!

”Did Ye Tianchen win? Has the Demon Slayer Old Man fallen for Ye Tianchen’s scheme and been trapped in the Holy Heaven Prison...”

”The Holy Heaven Prison is mysterious and powerful, and the Chaos Qi is practically indestructible, with very few capable of breaking it. Being trapped by the Holy Heaven Prison, it’s likely impossible to escape without secret techniques or cultivation at the Emperor Realm...”

”Ye Tianchen’s fortune and comprehension, along with his tenacity, are incredibly strong. Such a person becoming the pride of the heavens, a heaven-defying prodigy, is within reason!”

”The Demon Slayer Old Man might not necessarily lose, and Ye Tianchen might not definitely win. The Blood Killing Organization has an ancient and powerful legacy, and although few rumors have been passed down, I’ve heard some secrets. The Blood Killing Organization traces back to the ancient times, not just the past tens of thousands of years. Their powerful and vicious heritage spreads throughout the Martial Arts World, not only on Earth, possessing many powerful and unique Slaughter Skills. So, having some unknown secret techniques wouldn’t be surprising...”

Bang! Boom!

As the remaining martial artists around continued discussing, a muffled sound echoed, causing the ”Holy Heaven Prison” in midair to tremble as if about to fall, startling these martial artists. Their expressions changed slightly—could it be that this old Demon Slayer has truly mastered some secret technique, capable of breaking the Chaos Qi within the ”Holy Heaven Prison”?

Ye Tianchen also couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly. The seals on his hands slowly transformed, cold sweat streaming from his forehead; his Martial Arts True Power was significantly depleted. Not to mention dealing with the old Demon Slayer, even failing to suppress him would put Ye Tianchen’s life in jeopardy!

Bang! Boom!

Another muffled sound, Ye Tianchen trembled all over, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He gritted his teeth, maintaining the seals in his hand, struggling to stabilize them. The old Demon Slayer continued to assault with the ”Yuehuang Shield” within the Holy Heaven Prison, putting Ye Tianchen to critical distress!

Originally, when the old Demon Slayer was trapped within the ”Holy Heaven Prison”, Ye Tianchen should have been able to manipulate the Chaos Qi within, binding the old Demon Slayer, preventing him from performing Martial Arts Divine Skills or using Martial Arts Treasure. However, upon locking him inside the ”Holy Heaven Prison”, Ye Tianchen realized that his Martial Arts True Power in his dantian was nearly exhausted, making it difficult to manipulate powerful Chaos Qi. He could only watch helplessly as the old Demon Slayer activated the ”Yuehuang Shield” to attack within the ”Holy Heaven Prison”, a scenario Ye Tianchen hadn’t anticipated.

”Hmph, you little brat, you are indeed clever to trap me with the Holy Heaven Prison. If you had more strength to manipulate the Chaos Qi within, I might not only be trapped but killed as well. But you don’t have the energy to manipulate the chaotic power; thus, I can freely attack inside, and the Holy Heaven Prison has connected to your divine sense. If I continue to assault the Holy Heaven Prison, your divine sense will be shaken, leading to severe injury or death!” The old Demon Slayer snorted coldly, shouting from within the Holy Heaven Prison.

Ye Tianchen looked coldly at the ”Holy Heaven Prison”. He indeed hadn’t thought of this point, nor anticipated that his Martial Arts True Qi was excessively depleted while trying to suppress the Golden Strange Cloud, the mysterious man, and the old Demon Slayer. Regardless of the ”Holy Heaven Prison” or the Chaos Qi within, they are governed by his Divine Thought. Using Divine Thought also requires the support of Martial Arts True Qi; if it’s scarce, it’s impossible to employ powerful Divine Thought, and without strong Divine Thought, how can one control the treasure?

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Three muffled sounds echoed, blood dripped from the corner of Ye Tianchen’s mouth. With a wave of his right hand, the Chaos Qi blocking the entrance to the ”Holy Heaven Prison” dissipated, and the Demon Slayer old man instantly rushed out, coldly staring at Ye Tianchen. Seeing the blood at the corner of Ye Tianchen’s mouth, he laughed wildly and said: ”You little brat, you’re still too weak. To fight me you are still too tender. Without Martial Arts True Power within you, a battle with me would be certain death!”

Ye Tianchen looked at the old Demon Slayer; suddenly, his gaze became strong and resolute, coldly saying: ”Old man, do you know why I let you out? Take a good look at yourself...”

The old Demon Slayer was startled and promptly looked at himself, then laughed loudly: ”You little beast, trying to scare old me at the brink of death, do you really think I could be scared by you?”

”I know you’re not easily scared, but soon you’ll know your gaze will turn terrified...”

Ye Tianchen extended his right hand, transformed into a strange seal, slowly clenched his fist, suddenly on the old Demon Slayer’s body, strands of Chaos Qi emerged. These Chaos Qi were immensely powerful, and no matter how hard the old Demon Slayer struggled, he couldn’t escape, as if they grew from within his body... (To be continued.
