Chapter 2275: Chapter 2273: Close Combat, the Four Elders of the Northern State

[I know that many of my readers are high school and middle school students facing or about to face exams. Here, I wish you: success in advancing your academic ranks, and may all your hopes be fulfilled! I love you all and cherish every supporter who stands by me in writing my books, truly!]

"You little brat..." growled the four elders of Northern State, provoked by Ye Tianchen’s words, unable to restrain their impulse.

"Oh, these five elders of Northern State are well-renowned, both within the Northern State Territory and the entire Barbaric Forbidden Land. Who would have thought that the five of you would work together to destroy the Flying Flower Zen Temple? Moreover, other legacies and martial artists in the Northern State Territory withdrew instinctively when they saw you five old guys making a move, because they all thought that with you five taking action, there would be no advantage to be gained, and they couldn’t afford to provoke you five old guys. But they were wrong, wrong to overestimate the strength of you five old wastes. I’m just one person, yet I was able to let more than twenty female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple escape, and not only did you fail to completely annihilate the Zen Temple, but I also killed three of the old wastes among you. Even if the two of you are still alive, what’s the point? You might as well find a piece of tofu and smash your heads to death!" Ye Tianchen said with a very calm and composed expression.

"Insect, I’ll kill you without a place to bury!" Finally, infuriated by Ye Tianchen, the four elders of Northern State rushed towards him recklessly. The fifth elder of Northern State wanted to stop them but it was too late!

Boom!

Seeing the four elders of Northern State charging, Ye Tianchen stood up immediately, unleashing all his physical body power. After a brief respite and reconstruction of his physical body, especially after the Buddhist Sutra baptism that could completely wear down the arrow energy killing power condensed by the fifth elder of Northern State’s lifeblood, Ye Tianchen felt his power restored and that he was no longer powerless!

Bam!

Before the four elders of Northern State could make a move, Ye Tianchen was the first to launch a punch towards them. The four elders frowned, disdainfully saying, "A little insect still dares to rush up and fight; you are seeking death yourself!"

Thump!

A palm strike was immediately directed at the four elders of Northern State, containing the powerful might of a Late Stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, yet Ye Tianchen had no fear. He was waiting for this opportunity, the opportunity to engage in close combat with the four elders of Northern State. With a peak power of a Late Stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm physical body and the protection of Chaos Qi, Ye Tianchen was fully confident that he could shock and kill them!

In fact, when Ye Tianchen was sarcastically and arrogantly provoking the four and fifth elders of Northern State, he was already prepared for close combat with them. Although he had been chased all along and was in near-death situations, Ye Tianchen was also contemplating in his mind how he could kill the four and fifth elders. If other martial artists knew about his thoughts, they would be amazed at Ye Tianchen’s bravery because both the four and fifth elders were martial artists with a Late Stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm. Combined with the Saint Treasure the fifth elder held, which could even penetrate Chaos Qi, how many would dare to fight them? Even escaping would be too late!

Ye Tianchen had long assessed that the only way to kill the four and fifth elders was through close combat. This wasn’t just placing hope on the Chaos Qi, but because he understood that with the strength of the four and fifth elders, it would be difficult to hit them from afar with Martial Arts Divine Skills — it was almost impossible to kill them that way. Only through this close combat, relying on his unique physical body power, did he have a chance of victory. This was why Ye Tianchen continuously provoked the four elders of Northern State!

Bam! Boom!

Punch force and palm force collided, dissipating into the surrounding atmosphere. This startled Ye Tianchen because the punch just now had used almost all his physical body power and should have been comparable to the peak power of a Late Stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, yet it was dispersed by a single palm strike from the four elders. It seemed that the battle power of this old guy wasn’t ordinary!

However, even more surprised was the four elders of Northern State; they hadn’t expected that their powerful palm strike, meant for close combat, could be shattered by a punch from Ye Tianchen. It was unbelievable to him because, with the power of a Late Stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, Ye Tianchen was only a Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm martial artist, their power worlds apart. How could such a situation occur? Could Ye Tianchen actually fight him on even ground, or perhaps even kill him?

Shwp!

With a cruel hand, the four elders of Northern State, long angered by Ye Tianchen, immediately swung a longsword, slashing out a powerful sword qi directly at Ye Tianchen.

Clang!

Ye Tianchen, wielding the Taie Sword, not only shattered the sword qi from the four elders but also fiercely parried the northern elder’s longsword. Both longswords clashed together, and the right hand of the four elders went numb, a bit pained. Ye Tianchen also frowned; the Taie Sword, one of the ten ancient divine swords, was known for its indestructibility and divine power, yet the longsword in the hands of the northern elder clashed head-on with the Taie Sword without damage, indicating that the longsword of the four elders was not to be underestimated either!

Shwp!

Shwp!

Shwp!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Sword Qi surged, longswords clashed, and the battle between Ye Tianchen and the Four Elders of the Northern State reached a fever pitch. Although Princess Zi Xuan was still hiding under the protection of the Holy Heaven Prison, she found a gap to observe the battle, worrying about Ye Tianchen. As for the Fifth Elder of the Northern State, he did not stop the Four Elders from charging at Ye Tianchen. After the two began to fight, the Fifth Elder didn’t intervene but merely watched from a distance!

"You little brat, I didn’t expect you actually have the power to fight me!" one of the Four Elders of the Northern State couldn’t help but say.

"Hmph, assuming someone is weaker than you without understanding their true strength is nothing but your arrogance!" Ye Tianchen snorted disdainfully.

"Do you really think you’re stronger than me? In my eyes, you’re just an ant!" the Elder of the Northern State said, looking at Ye Tianchen with disdain.

"Heh, as I see it, not only am I an ant in your eyes, but everyone is. Your arrogance is truly boundless!" Ye Tianchen said, sneering in ridicule.

Swish!

Suddenly, one of the Northern State’s Four Elders threw his longsword, which shot towards the Holy Heaven Prison. Seeing this, Ye Tianchen knew this elder was despicable, having spotted Princess Zi Xuan watching through a Chaos Qi gap and aimed to eliminate her unexpectedly—a truly venomous tactic!

Yet, as Ye Tianchen turned to intercept, the Elder struck Ye Tianchen in the chest with a palm, almost sending him flying. But Ye Tianchen caught the Elder’s wrist, using the momentum to fly backward towards the Holy Heaven Prison!

Swish!

The Taie Sword in Ye Tianchen’s hand also shot out, intercepting the Elder’s sword from various angles, as both of them surged towards the Holy Heaven Prison!

"Hahaha, you little brat, let’s see how you make excuses now!" the Elder of the Northern State laughed triumphantly.

Clang!

The Taie Sword intercepted the Elder’s sword, unexpectedly slicing it into two when it collided. The Elder never anticipated this move, his plan to assassinate Princess Zi Xuan thwarted by Ye Tianchen!

However, the Elder felt no surprise, knowing that no matter how formidable his longsword was, it couldn’t match the resilience of the Taie Sword, one of the legendary Ten Divine Swords. Although his assassination failed, Ye Tianchen was severely injured. Surviving seemed almost impossible for him now!

Thud!

Ye Tianchen’s back slammed heavily against the Holy Heaven Prison, blood instantly spilling from his mouth. The palm force of the Northern State’s Elder landed on Ye Tianchen’s chest again as he laughed sinisterly, saying, "A little more force from me, and you’ll be blown to a blood mist!"

"Oh, is that so? Do you know why I’ve been holding your wrist, not letting your palm leave my chest?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"Hmm? That’s because you want to die!" the Elder of the Northern State growled, glaring at Ye Tianchen.

"Then you’re wrong. It’s because I want you dead!" As soon as Ye Tianchen finished speaking, the Elder was startled, seeing several powerful Chaos Qi, transformed into Sword Qi, attacking from all directions, behind Ye Tianchen!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Four Sword Qi formed by Chaos Qi shot towards the Elder, leaving him momentarily stunned. He attempted to break free from Ye Tianchen and retreat, but with his right hand caught, escaping wasn’t easy!

"You little brat, do you want mutual destruction? I’ll help you!" the Elder of the Northern State roared, swinging his left fist towards Ye Tianchen’s head.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen blocked with his left hand, smiling calmly, "To die with Ye Tianchen, you overestimate yourself!"

"You..." The Elder of the Northern State was shocked, feeling the heavy presence of death surrounding him!
