Chapter 1216: Chapter 1215: Who’s Really the Swindler?

[PS: Today’s first update is here, seeking tips!!!]

The physical body power Ye Tianchen unleashed was astonishing, making people unable to believe it. None of those present had ever dreamt that Ye Tianchen possessed such formidable physical strength. Throughout history, Ye Tianchen was the first to reach this level of physical power without a heaven-defying bloodline.

Bang!

With a loud crash, Ye Tianchen threw a punch with all his physical might, aiming directly at a Stone Man standing in front of him. The Stone Man retained its imposing stance, and although it couldn’t speak, it seemingly believed Ye Tianchen was not its match. Rarely in history had anyone dared to compare their physical strength with the Stone Man clan; those daring enough to challenge them here were even rarer. The man before it must have had a death wish!

Unexpectedly, when Ye Tianchen’s right fist collided with it, the Stone Man was blasted away, soaring half a meter into the air before it was reduced to powder. Even without a sound or a cry, it disintegrated from the right hand that had clashed with Ye Tianchen’s, as if undergoing some sort of transformation, slowly turning to nothing.

”Is this... is this the power of a formidable physical body?” the old fellow from the Tripod Sect said, wide-eyed and speechless.

”Such formidable physical power, eliminating a strong Stone Man with just one strike. Even if his punch can’t rival the Supreme Heir of the Ancient Alien Race, said to destroy a Star with a simple gesture, destroying a mountain range is certainly no problem!” exclaimed a middle-aged man from the Xinyang family in awe.

”This kid actually concealed such powerful strength. It seems he has a share in the Taishi family inheritance, and my judgment wasn’t off when I sold him the map...” the old man with the pipe chuckled.

Ye Tianchen glanced coldly at the old man with the pipe, annoyed by his words. The old swindler still dared to say such things, making Ye Tianchen want to flatten him with a punch. However, at this moment, he had no time for that as he felt the terrifying aura approaching ever closer. If they couldn’t quickly dispatch these six Stone Men, they might really lose their lives. They had to finish the battle swiftly and leave.

”Watch out!”

Suddenly standing next to the veiled woman, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but warn as the Stone Man, which was initially fighting her, suddenly turned to attack him with blinding speed. A massive stone palm reached from behind, aiming to crush Ye Tianchen’s skull.

As Ye Tianchen turned around, the Stone Man’s hand had already closed in just a millimeter away from gripping his head. It was then that a flash of golden light appeared, confusing everyone watching. When the old man with the pipe and others finally made sense of what they saw, they were too shocked to speak.

In front of Ye Tianchen’s forehead lay a massive stone palm with faintly visible runes in its palm. Just a millimeter away from grabbing his head, the natural physical power of the Stone Man should have ensured Ye Tianchen’s head would shatter beyond recognition. However, at the last moment, a golden light shot from Ye Tianchen’s right index finger, piercing through the center of the Stone Man’s palm and its brow, shattering what little Spiritual Sense it possessed, rendering it unable to move forward. It was perilously close yet unbelievably powerful.

”He can convert his physical body power into tangible form, utilizing it like Martial Arts True Power — astonishing!” observed the Wudao Saint Child, coldly watching Ye Tianchen.

”This young man has enormous potential; if he grows, he will surely shake the Martial Arts World. Fortunately, I once gave him a map, so I have a favor to him!” the old man with the pipe shamelessly remarked once again.

As Ye Tianchen turned around in that instant, he already knew it was too late. The Stone Man was incredibly fast and powerful. If his head were grabbed, it would mean a shattered fate. So, he gambled, exerting all his strength to condense his Physical Body Power, concentrating it all on the forefinger of his right hand. Just as Ye Tianchen anticipated, when such formidable Physical Body Power is focused into a single point, it can transform into substantial attack power, like Martial Arts True Power. Therefore, he was able to pierce through the Stone Man’s hand, and at the very moment before his head could be caught, penetrated its brow, destroying its Spiritual Sense.

”You, young man... I know now, you’re quite the pretender; you are Ye Tianchen...” the old man with the smoking pipe suddenly thought of something, and with a wicked smile, said to Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen was shocked. Among these people, the old fellows of the Tripod Sect and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family had irreconcilable hatred towards him. Although he had just recently arrived at the Penglai Ancient Martial World, his grudge with these two great factions ran deep. Especially because these two heritages were so domineering, he tried his best not to expose his identity. However, it must be said that the Tripod Sect and the Xinyang family had deep foundations and had discovered his background through some Secret Techniques, although struggling to find him.

Upon hearing the name ”Ye Tianchen”, the old folks from the Tripod Sect and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family showed a hint of killing intent in their eyes, glaring fiercely at Ye Tianchen, seemingly ready to charge and fight to the death. One must know, because Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ling stole the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon’s egg, the young disciples sent by the Tripod Sect were severely injured or killed. Additionally, in Linxian City, the Young Master Xinyang’s subordinates were completely wiped out by Ye Tianchen, greatly damaging the Xinyang family’s prestige. Despite the Xinyang family being in the wrong, for such dominant heritages, whoever dared to confront them faced only death.

At this moment, after the old man with the smoking pipe revealed Ye Tianchen’s identity, everyone sternly and coldly stared at Ye Tianchen. The atmosphere was quite unpleasant. Though the old smoking pipe man, the veiled lady, and the Wudao Saint Child had no quarrel with Ye Tianchen, Ye Tianchen was fearless, creating quite a stir in Penglai Ancient Martial World by provoking the Tripod Sect and Xinyang family, raising quite a commotion. Everyone was wondering, could it really be him?

Bang!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen punched the attacking Stone Man aimed at the old man with the smoking pipe, blew through its chest, and looking at the smoking pipe old man as if ready to crush him with a punch, said: ”Who is Ye Tianchen? I don’t even know him. You, old geezer, have been deceptive from the start, harboring ill intentions. Now you’re calling me Ye Tianchen, trying to stir hatred against me? Who doesn’t know that the Tripod Sect and Xinyang family have deep-seated enmity with Ye Tianchen? If I were really Ye Tianchen, I would have already taken them out instead of dealing with the Stone Man now. Ah, I understand now, you want us to turn against each other, letting them kill me together, and with that method, let the rest kill each other, so you can profit from the chaos and acquire the Taishi family’s heritage, is that it?”

”You... I spat, though I really want to obtain the Taishi family’s heritage, but knowing the current situation, I also understand the big picture. I am not such a despicable and shameless person. Are you trying to slander me?” the smoking pipe old man said angrily.

”Then why do you say I am Ye Tianchen? Have you seen that Ye Tianchen?” Ye Tianchen snapped back unhappily.

”I... I assessed based on your combat techniques...” for a moment the smoking pipe old man really couldn’t say anything.

”So it’s just blind guesswork? Nonsense then, right? You, old geezer, are talking rubbish, deceiving over a hundred Martial Artists to come here. Can your words be trusted? Moreover, speaking irresponsibly might get me killed, or harm others!” Ye Tianchen said, pretending to be extremely angry.

”You...” the smoking pipe old man was infuriated, didn’t expect Ye Tianchen’s eloquence, leaving him speechless.

”What do you mean, you? Such irresponsible talk, are your words trustworthy? You cheated over a hundred Martial Artists to come here, everyone knows. Fine, I won’t argue with you, let me be clear. I’ve heard of that Ye Tianchen, who supposedly has formidable Physical Body Power, rumored from other Ancient Martial Worlds. But, who has verified it? Moreover, I really want to fight this guy. With my Physical Body Power, I can certainly defeat him, show that Ye Tianchen my strength!” Ye Tianchen speaks as if he is righteous and confident.

The smoking pipe old man was infuriated, fuming with smoke. He indeed had no evidence to prove the Ye Tianchen before him was the one who offended the Tripod Sect and Xinyang family. However, rumors from the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World and Heaven Mountain Ancient Martial World were heard in the Penglai Ancient Martial World, especially Ye Tianchen’s astonishing deeds. He could be said to have gained some fame, and his special battle techniques were spread by others. That smoking pipe old man suddenly thought of this, it’s unlikely that suddenly many rebellious guys would pop up in the three Ancient Martial Worlds, right? It’s too shocking. Based on age, body type, combat techniques, and Physical Body Power, the guy in front is likely Ye Tianchen. He raised the question, now he feels like he’s swindling, and the remaining four are not only looking at Ye Tianchen with suspicion, but also looking at the smoking pipe old man with suspicion, as if he’s a big liar, making him so angry he wants to vomit blood.
