Chapter 374: Unrivaled Strength(1)
Translator: Swammped Editor: Hitesh_
"Capital offense? I don't think so." Even before his battle strength had advanced, Ye Chen had no fear of the Island Master. If he couldn't beat the latter, couldn't he just run? Bewildernt Fog Forbidden Zone was covered in dense fog, and hiding was an extrely simple matter here. As for the present circumstances, he had no need for any fear whatsoever.
The black-robed old man smiled instead of flaring up, "Seems like it has been too long since I have acted myself. A few individuals here have forgotten my existence. That's fine. You'll serve as fine examples today for the others. Everybody will know of the person who controls the life of every single person on this island."
Rumble!
With the seat behind his back exploding apart, he abruptly stood up. Lightning coiled around his body, issuing popping sounds, "Grand Elder Ye, I'll give you a final chance. Hand over your spirit ring and kneel down for your cri, then I'll spare your dog life. Otherwise, don't bla for being rciless.
The black robed old man was still sowhat apprehensive. Extre Astral Reaching realm experts were not so easy to kill. If the forr decided to escape with all his heart, his odds of success wouldn't be more than seventy percent. Of course, if Ye Chen insisted on not giving over his storage ring, he would show no hesitation.
"Life or death, think carefully." The black robed old man's voice had beco quite low, and his breathing had gradually been restrained, like a volcano on the verge of erupting. He was accumulating the strength in his whole body, bracing to instantly finish off Ye Chen.
"You could have continued being the island master. The island's future would have been in your hands for a few decades."
Ye Chen said mysteriously.
"You don't comply?"
"You don't have the qualifications to make comply."
"Then, don't bla since it's your wish to die."
The black-robed old man's fury erupted like a volcano. The lightning around his body suddenly converged in his palm. His figure flickered before he issued a long range palm strike, aiming for Ye Chen's brain.
This palm strike contained thunder's fury and lightning's speed. Even the sa-ranked Astral Reaching paragons would refrain from facing it head-on.
Ye Chen stood motionlessly in his place. He didn't take out his sword, nor did he brace himself for the impact. Instead, he just raised his finger and pointed in the air.
Chi!
A deep green sword qi shot out with a speed like that of a shooting star under the amplification of sword intent.
Kacha!
Several arm-thick cracks appeared in the main hall with. Powerful shock waves were emitted out of the main hall, opening up deep holes.
Thud…thud…thud!
The muffled sound of footsteps resounded. The black-robed artist's palm was stained with blood. After being forced back for several steps, his face was appalled. In rely more than half a month that he'd not seen Ye Chen, the latter's strength had increased to this extent. Although he hadn't used upper rank artifact previously, he believed that he could take care of Ye Chen relying on his two palms. He was, after all, one of the best among extre Astral Reaching experts before possessing an upper grade artifact. After further bitter cultivation of decades, his strength had kept increasing. Thus, taking care of a young extre Astral Reaching realm warrior for him was as easy as flipping his hands. However, at this mont, he eventually understood that Ye Chen's strength absolutely couldn't be asured by the standards of outside world.
"So, you were actually hiding your strength. No wonder you dared to go against . Do you think this little bit of strength can allow you to be presumptuous before ?"
Composing his shocked expression, the black-robed old man spread out his hands. Amidst a flickering blue light, two huge iron hamrs appeared in his hands. Each one was a ter long, having a wrist-thick shaft and a cylindrical head. Their entire body was glistening with a black tallic luster. As the black-robed old man infused them with True Yuan, the tip of their heads issued sharp ink-blue colored thunderbolts while an incomparably frightening pressure spread out.
The iron hamrs were undoubtedly upper grade artifacts. Middle grade artifacts didn't have even half of their pressure.
"Upper grade artifact, Explosive Thunder Hamrs!" Elder Chen let out a cry of surprise.
Holding the Explosive Thunder Hamrs, the black-robed old man's eyes were filled with killing intent as he said ghastly, "I found this artifact from an ancient ruins. Relying on this, the count of extre Astral Reaching experts dying at my hands hasn't reached ten, but it's eight nevertheless, and you will be the next in count."
"A thunder-attributed upper grade artifact is indeed not ordinary."
Among the various attributed offensive artifacts, those having thunder and fire attributes were the most tyrannous. Earth attributed artifacts had the most solid and deep offense, while the tal attributed artifacts were the sharpest. And, the wind-attributed artifacts could increase the attack speed in addition to amplifying the offense.
An iron hamr type of artifact was full of destructive power in itself. Adding the tyrannous thunder attribute to it was simply giving wings to a tiger.
Shua!
With the longsword appearing in his left hand, Ye Chen slowly said, "I've never crossed blows with an Astral Reaching paragon before. Today, you'll serve to sharpen my sword."
"How rampant! Receive my move then… Thunder Explosion Fury!"
The black-robed old man rose up from the ground. His muscles swelled as extrely rich thunder-attributed Zhen Yuan poured into Explosive Thunder Hamrs, which fiercely smashed at Ye Chen, who was not far away.
Even before the hamrs arrived, their pressure imdiately exploded half of the hall. Lightning snakes coiled frantically, pervading a circumference of several hundred ters.
"Eh, Explosion-encompassing thunder ntality?"
Confronting the black robed old man's iron hamrs, Ye Chen still had the mind to study his opponent's ntalities. As everybody knew, ntalities were divided into various attributes. Apart from the ntalities of natural attributes, there were many illusory attributes. Similarly attributed-ntalities also varied from people to people. The Island Master's thunder ntality contained a sort of explosive power. As soon as the hamr's struck out, half of the hall instantly exploded. It possessed much greater offensive nature than a normal thunder ntality.
'My Heaven Disintegrating Cloud contains a powerful eruption power. So, let's see whose thunder ntality is superior.'
Clank!
Unsheathing the thunder sword, Ye Chen slashed out, holding it with one hand. Brimming with eruptive power, the sword's speed made the void tremble.
Peng peng peng peng…
Thunderbolt like explosions echoed out one after another. In a few monts, Ye Chen and black robed old man had exchanged dozens of moves. Both of them opted to clash head-on, as neither side was willing to give up even an inch.
Eventually, the hall could no longer sustain their exchanges and disintegrated into thousands of pieces, which sprinkled out everywhere.
"Who is fighting in the palace?"
The nurous elders and grand elders were alard alike. With alarm on their faces, they imdiately rushed towards the palace.
Sub Island Master Residence.
Sub Island Master Wang raised his head, and his brows creased. From the fight's aura, he could sense that one was clearly Island Master, and other was sowhat strange. He seed to have t the counterpart, but was not sure.
"Island Master and I are more or less the sa in terms of strength. But, he has two upper grade artifacts- one is the Explosive Thunder Hamrs while the other is a defensive one- Gold Armor. With this armor, even if Sub Island Master Cui and I joined hands, we might not be able to breach his defenses. Therefore, the master of this island is him, and not , Sub Island Master Cui, or anybody else. This person can evenly match against Island Master, which ans his strength is not below mine. Unfortunately, Island Master inherently owns an invincible position. At the level of Astral Reaching realm, nobody can defeat him."
Shua!
Sub Island Master Wang lightly stamped and soared up.
In the other house, Sub Island Master Cui awakened from his cultivation, pushed open his door, and streaked across the horizon like a blade light.
Sub Island Masters, grand elders, and elders all lived not too far away from the palace. Apart from those who were out for work, all the experts on the island had gathered together.
As their eyes fell near the destroyed hall in the middle of the palace, they were imdiately left stupefied. The one exchanging blows with Island Master was none other than newly-appointed grand elder Ye Chen.
"This kid is too bold, too reckless. To fight against Island Master…" A middle-aged grand elder said.
Grand Elder Sun's eyes shone with schadenfreude, "I already told you this kid is bad news. Seems like the position of grand elder wasn't enough to satisfy him, and is now eyeing the position of island master."
"Just by himself? He simply doesn't know what death is."
Shua! Shua!
Sub Island Master Wang and Cui arrived at the scene.
"Sub Island Masters!"
Everybody cupped their fists towards them.
Sub Island Master Wang said, "Do you know what happened?"
"We've also arrived just now!"
Faintly nodding, his gaze fell on the black-robed old man montarily before imdiately retracting it, seeming as if nothing was amiss. But inwardly, he was astonished.
"Forcing Island Master to use Explosive Iron Hamrs... This strength is not below you and ."
Hearing these words, Sub Island Master Cui said gravely, "He still has strength remaining."
"Still has strength?"
The forr was quite amazed. If these words had co from soone else's mouth, he wouldn't have believed them. However, the latter was an expert blade artist, and thus, had a powerful eyesight. He would naturally not have spoken such words without a careful observation.
Gradually, elders and grand elders could also see the situation a little clearer. Even after a while, Island Master was unable to gain the upper hand. Did this an that this kid's strength could already rival Island Master's?
"Impossible! Island Master's killer move is not out yet." Grand Elder Sun denied imdiately.
"Indeed! It's not as if there haven't been experts who had exchanged several moves with Island Master. However, there has been nobody who could co out alive after his killer move. This ti also wouldn't be any different."
"Hehe, let's see how he will die!"
Sub Island Master Wang also shook his head, "Too impulsive."
Island Master hadn't used his killer move, and even the Gold Armor hadn't been activated. Even if Ye Chen's strength were to be as high as the heavens, he would still be helpless before the forr.
Since the battle had been going on for a while, the black-robed old man also began to feel irritated. He roared, "Good! To be able to exchange so many blows with , you're the third in several decades. But, this next move will claim your dog life."
"Thunder Lion Transformation!"
With his step cracking the ground, the black-robed old man soared in the air, holding the iron hamrs high above his head. One after other thunderbolts frantically converged at the hamrs' head, converging unceasingly. They quickly ford into a lion that bared its teeth and claws. As it roared, a frightening pressure encompassed the heaven and earth.
Boom!
The two hamrs suddenly struck downwards, setting off the lion which dove at Ye Chen.
"Green Lotus Blossoming!"
Sheathing the Thunder Sword, Ye Chen took out the green colored wooden sword and slashed, still holding it with one hand. Sword light suddenly unfolded, facing the thunder lion.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Like a firework exploding, the lion was engulfed within the sword light.
However, this move was the black-robed old man's best move indeed, and contained a highly condensed power of thunder. The sword light imdiately dimd as soon as it made contact. However, shortly afterward, the dimd sword light erupted with an even more frightening might, becoming more brilliant from dim. Not only did it rip apart the lion's body, a streak of light even pierced the lion's head.
