Chapter 278: Chapter 277 [Thirteen Heavenly Kings]"Your Earth Element Power cannot stop me, and I will sever your right hand!" Wang Jie declared confidently and coldly. Ye Tianchen merely smiled faintly without a word, but extended his right hand, forming a palm towards Wang Jie. This left everyone stunned, unsure what Ye Tianchen intended to do. Facing such a formidable attack from Wang Jie that appeared terrifying even before it was launched, there were only two options in a duel against such a fierce Slaughter Skill: to defend with all your might or to flee promptly. Yet, Ye Tianchen did neither, simply standing calmly in place, waiting for Wang Jie’s attack. "I admit you are powerful, but you will definitely pay the price for your arrogance!" Wang Jie declared vehemently. "It’s already the ninth move, only one left!" Ye Tianchen glanced at his shoulder, which had just been struck by Wang Jie’s swift punch, leaving a deep wound that was still bleeding. However, it was not a grave concern. He was pleased; Wang Jie was indeed powerful. Relying solely on his right hand to withstand Wang Jie’s ten attacks was challenging. He had managed to withstand nine, but the final one was undoubtedly very powerful. Even those not participating in the fight felt an extremely fierce aura. Wang Jie was giving his all, genuinely intending to kill Ye Tianchen. "You brought this upon yourself, don’t blame me!" With a loud shout from Wang Jie, his ten fingers burst forth with powerful Qi Force, all slashing towards Ye Tianchen. The Qi Force wasn’t yet upon him, but the air had already been torn apart. The formidable Qi Force, combined with incredible speed, literally split the air, visible to the naked eye—a truly terrifying spectacle. Even the small grass a few meters away from the Qi Force was shattered, merely from the minimal fluctuations of Qi Force, as if neatly sliced by sharp blades. Many faces showed surprise; even Wuxue, Hu Long, Lin Duan, and Bao Tianglong were immensely astonished and began to worry for their leader, Ye Tianchen, who was facing such a powerful attack with only his right hand. Boom! Suddenly, Ye Tianchen moved. His right hand emitted a golden light, forging a shield like those made of gold, pressing directly towards Wang Jie, emitting a blinding glow. Bang! Bang! Bang! Wang Jie’s most powerful Ten-Finger Qi Force struck the Golden Wall formed by Ye Tianchen’s Superpower Skill, actually boring finger holes through it. However, Ye Tianchen’s Golden Wall did not collapse; it blocked all ten Qi Forces and continued to press towards Wang Jie with undiminished force. "Golden Divine Shield!" Ye Tianchen also roared, clenching his fist in mid-air. The finger holes in the Golden Wall miraculously repaired themselves instantly, intact and unblemished, as he pressed down towards Wang Jie with the strongest posture. At this moment, Ye Tianchen unleashed his peak strength at the King-level Superpower Realm, bursting forth with a powerful Gold Element Superpower Skill, "Golden Divine Shield," a technique strong in both offense and defense, forming a divine wall seemingly constructed from gold, possessing immense defensive power and oppressive force akin to Mount Tai—a testament to Ye Tianchen’s training and breakthrough. "Ah!" Facing the pressing Golden Divine Shield, Wang Jie did not shrink back at all. He was indeed powerful, clenching both fists, unleashing his most formidable combat strength, continuously gathering formidable Inner Strength in his fists, boldly confronting the Golden Divine Shield. Boom! The Golden Divine Shield still pressed downwards, stirring up dust all over the ground. As it struck the earth, Wuxue and the others had already moved aside, watching the scene unfold with utter shock. Some were amazed by Ye Tianchen’s strength, able to deliver such a powerful attack with just one hand. Others were stunned by Wang Jie’s bravery, unabashedly confronting the overpowering Golden Divine Shield with his fists. Who would dare to do the same? After the dust had settled, everyone looked at the spot where the Golden Divine Shield had pressed down. Wang Jie was buried from the knees down in the earth, and his fists were bloodied. However, his eyes were lively, and he looked at Ye Tianchen with a hint of surprise. Whoosh! Wang Jie burst out from the ground all at once, and apart from his fists bearing traces of blood from friction, he was surprisingly unharmed, shocking everyone. Wang Jie was truly strong, and his self-confidence was not unfounded. Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You can use Gold Element Superpower Skill too?" Wang Jie, staring intently at Ye Tianchen, asked. The young man’s strength exceeded his expectations. "The ten-move duel is over; you can leave now," Ye Tianchen said to Wang Jie with a smile. Earlier, Wang Jie had claimed that Ye Tianchen’s Earth Element Power was useless because, during Ye Tianchen’s intense battle with Zhang Wuquan and Deng Shuang, Wang Jie had watched from a distance as Ye Tianchen used powerful Earth Element Power. This was why he was confident that he could defeat Ye Tianchen. His own Inner Strength was, after all, derived from the Wood Element Power. Wood overcomes Earth, which is one of the basic mutual conquests among the Five Elements. He believed that even if Ye Tianchen used his powerful Earth Element Power, he would be able to handle it. Little did he know, in his final move of the duel, Wang Jie had concentrated all his Wood Element Energy into his ten fingers and slashed at Ye Tianchen to force him into an unavoidable situation using his powerful Earth Element Power. It would mean that Ye Tianchen would fall into the trap and be inevitably defeated. Unexpectedly, Ye Tianchen could also use Gold Element Superpower Skill, and since gold overcame wood, all the powerful finger strikes from Wang Jie could not shatter the Golden Divine Shield and were forcibly suppressed. Ye Tianchen was also somewhat surprised in his heart. He had not expected that after Wang Jie’s Inner Strength was countered, he could still clash fists against the Golden Divine Shield; even though his own strength was only at the peak of King-level Superpower Realm and the Golden Divine Shield was not at its most powerful, the fact that someone could clash against the Golden Divine Shield like that without being severely wounded or killed was absolutely rare. Seeing Wang Jie standing there stunned without speaking, Ye Tianchen looked at the experts gathered and said, "I know all of you are top-notch experts, and I am happy that you could come here. I, Ye Tianchen, do not dare to call myself your leader or big brother, but I believe that everyone yearns for battle, longs for an exciting, blood-pumping life, and wishes for a place where their own skills can be put to use, rather than being minor bodyguards and enforcers for some big clans and powers. I want to create a world of our own in this city and establish our own glory together with you!" Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, everyone looked at him in surprise. They had thought that Ye Tianchen, a young man in his twenties, was just a rich second generation who wanted to gather some experts to play around without any grand ambitions. They hadn’t expected that Ye Tianchen was not just about establishing a force but was determined to make a remarkable stand and create a formidable reputation, which inspired many of them. On Earth, in this life, Ye Tianchen had long been aware that there were experts from the Ancient Martial Sects and powerful Superpower Users, even recluses who stayed out of the world. Most of these masters and powerful Superpower Users were unfulfilled, each possessing unique and mighty skills but had to be employed by large clans and powers as mere bodyguards, which was certainly frustrating and made them feel unrecognized. Thus, the forces that Ye Tianchen wanted to build would consist of absolute experts, reviving the Ye family in his uplifting and standing against those lofty clans and powers while ensuring these people could utilize their skills and not lead ordinary and unfulfilled lives with their great abilities. "Everyone has their own aspirations, and I will not force anyone. Those who wish to stay may stay; those who do not can leave. The last thing I want to tell everyone," Ye Tianchen said with a smile, "is that following me, Ye Tianchen, will not disappoint you!" Just a few seconds later, everyone, including Wuxue, Hu Long, Lin Duan, Bao Tianglong, Wang Jie, Zhang Wuquan, Deng Shuang, and five other experts, all stood neatly before Ye Tianchen and shouted respectfully and loudly, "Big brother!" Ye Tianchen smiled slightly. Having such thirteen first-rate experts, how could he not be pleased? The force he had envisioned forming was exactly like this, and looking at these thirteen people, Ye Tianchen already had a name in mind for his organization, a domineering name destined to shock the world. "Okay, from now on, we are all part of the same group, including myself, a total of thirteen, so our organization’s name will be ’Thirteen Heavenly Kings’," Ye Tianchen declared loudly. Thirteen Heavenly Kings, what a domineering name, destined to shock the world in days to come. Ye Tianchen naturally became the King of Heaven, and based on the strength ranking, Wang Jie became the Second Heavenly King, followed by Wuxue, Bao Tianglong, Zhang Wuquan, Deng Shuang, Lin Duan, Hu Long, and the remaining five. "So I am the only Female Heavenly King among the Thirteen Heavenly Kings?" At this moment, a beautiful woman who had been standing aside walked forward, smiling enchantingly with her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Tianchen. "It’s you? Haha, becoming the only Female Heavenly King among the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, you should feel happy. And I’m delighted to have you join us among the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, Xiao Qing; it’s been a long time!" Ye Tianchen was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile. Unexpectedly, among the experts gathered by Wuxue this time, there was also Xiao Qing, the former mistress of Li Tie, a leader of Capital City’s underground forces. Ye Tianchen had not killed Xiao Qing back then but had let her go, only to end up encountering her here. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote or recommend it on Qidian.com.
