Chapter 2327 2301 An Insane Move (Second Release)
Chapter 2327: Chapter 2301: An Insane Move! (Second Release) Chapter 2327: Chapter 2301: An Insane Move! (Second Release) Ye Chen looked at the man calmly, but the latter slightly frowned, seemingly acknowledging that this person truly possessed some skill if he could block his aura.
In his heart, he had already faintly admitted that Ye Chen was that so-called Profound Ascension Genius. After all, coming from the Divine Kingdom, he had some discernment. From the movement technique Ye Chen used just now, ignoring his aura, and the inexplicable pressure emanating from him, it was evident that this man was mysterious!
But while he admitted it, he had no intention of letting Ye Chen and Chen Zhifan pass.
The reason was simple—because he found them annoying!
Because these two rubbish from the Lingwu Continent had not shown him the proper respect!
The man’s name was Zhou Chao. Even in the Tianchen Auction, he did not have much of a standing. Filled with dissatisfaction, how could he miss the opportunity to show off in front of these people from the Lingwu Continent?
Zhou Chao looked at Ye Chen and sneered, “So, young master doesn’t like to talk, eh?”
Ye Chen glanced at him and said indifferently, “It’s not that I dislike talking, but rather that you’re not worth listening to.”
This man was rude to him, and he would usually treat it as a barking dog—too trivial to bother with. But to use this attitude and try to oppress them with his aura when speaking to his friend?
That he could not tolerate, no matter if the man belonged to the auction house!
Taken aback by Ye Chen’s words, Zhou Chao’s aura suddenly exploded around him, fueled by his violent spiritual energy, tearing apart like a storm. His entire body brimmed with a murderous intent, and he angrily yet mockingly said:
“Hahaha, oh, so I’m not worthy to listen, huh? It’s a pity, unfortunately, I forgot to bring my Profound Ascension Genius profile. But, although we lack information, there’s an even simpler way to test it, right?
I’ve always held great respect for the Profound Ascension Geniuses of Lingwu Continent and have been eager to experience it myself. If you truly are one, surely you can withstand one strike from me?
How about it? You just have to take one strike from me, just one, and I’ll acknowledge your movement technique and let you onto the island. How does that sound?”
Although he planned to avoid any real killing to prevent blame from the auction house, giving Ye Chen a small lesson wouldn’t attract too much attention!
Just because he was from the Divine Kingdom!
Ye Chen looked at Zhou Chao with a playful expression and said, “That’s what you said. I hope you won’t regret it.”
“Regret?” Zhou Chao seemed to hear something funny, bursting into laughter, “Don’t worry, I won’t. Are you ready?”
“Make your move.”
Ye Chen stood with his hands clasped behind his back, not even intending to use the Rotten Beast Sword.
Like he said, Zhou Chao was not worth it.
Seeing Ye Chen acting so arrogantly as if he really was some unbeatable monster, Zhou Chao’s killing intent intensified. Could it be, the people of Lingwu Continent are really so weak that they gave this trash such an invincible illusion?
However, this suited him even better, for his goal was to severely injure Ye Chen, giving both Ye Chen and Chen Zhifan a lesson, letting them understand the vast gap between themselves and the people of the Divine Kingdom.
The more conceited Ye Chen was, the more despair he would feel shortly, and by contrast, the easier it would be for Zhou Chao!
His aura roiled, with a shadowy figure of a giant hawk tumbling in his palm, so vivid it almost seemed to transform!
“Heavenly Eagle Palm!”
Zhou Chao bellowed, and with a strike, an almost tangible giant hawk shadow rapidly enlarged in front of his palm, emerging amidst the mist with a piercing screech akin to gold splitting stone, then charged toward Ye Chen!
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, this palm strike was somewhat unexpected and quite impressive!
The Palm Intent carried an enigmatic aura, seeming to have touched upon some origins of martial arts!
This of course wasn’t to say that Zhou Chao had great comprehension, rather it was because the martial technique of the Heavenly Eagle Palm itself, including its legacy, was quite impressive!
Just like the disciples from Shenxuan Sect that I encountered in the southern region, their displayed martial arts were similar but, compared to Zhou Chao, they had a much deeper understanding.
It seems that the Divine Kingdom’s martial arts really were far ahead of those on Lingwu Continent, even at the same level of martial technique, the inheritances from Lingwu Continent were noticeably less authentic and less powerful!
And at the moment Zhou Chao struck with his palm, the previously expressionless Chen Zhifan’s face flashed with surprise, horror, and concern!
His strength wasn’t as formidable as Ye Chen’s, and the transformed palm imprint before him was akin to a terrifying abyss!
It could involve his divine soul entirely!
Originally, Chen Zhifan knew that Ye Chen’s strength had reached a level where he could compete with those at the Great Void One Layer Heaven, therefore, this Sealed Gate’s individual from Divine Kingdom was certainly not his match.
However, after witnessing what seemed to Chen Zhifan an astonishingly brilliant strike, he couldn’t help but worry for Ye Chen!
Yet, Ye Chen still appeared indifferent. Such a strike didn’t catch his interest.
He casually lifted his hand and threw a punch.
A simple punch.
Seeing this, Zhou Chao cursed inwardly, calling him a fool for using his fist to counter his nearly transformed palm imprint?
Did he think his Heavenly Eagle Palm was as insignificant as those trash martial arts from Lingwu Continent?
Like seeking his own death, Ye Chen’s hand was surely ruined! There was no second possibility!
Zhou Chun coldly sneered, “Kid, now you realize how high the sky is and how deep the earth is…”
But before he could finish his sentence, the smile on his face completely froze!
With a plop, his Heavenly Eagle Palm strike collided with Ye Chen’s fist.
There were no screams, no fear, no blood mist drifting around.
What happened was his palm imprint instantly getting pierced through and turning into nothingness!
How was this possible!
Before Zhou Chao could react in surprise, a tremendous force surged out of Ye Chen’s fist. In the moment when the Heavenly Eagle Palm was shattered, the tremendous force rolled forward and rushed towards Zhou Chao!
At that moment, Zhou Chao could only try to block it with the arm he had used for the palm strike, which he hadn’t fully withdrawn yet.
With a booming sound, Zhou Chao was knocked backwards, spurting blood violently, and the arm that blocked Ye Chen’s tremendous force completely blasted and disappeared!
The Zhou Chao who was knocked away flew into the mist and didn’t respond again, apparently severely injured to the point of unconsciousness!
Ye Chen nonchalantly withdrew his hand and said to Chen Zhifan,
“Brother Chen, let’s just go in. This guy’s strength is just that of a gatekeeper at best. After we get past this mist, we should be able to meet other people from the Tianchen Auction.”
Chen Zhifan nodded, and just as they were about to move, the surrounding mist suddenly began to stir!
Bolts of lightning travelled around them, and within the mist, a high-pitched and trembling Dragonslayer Sword’s roar could be faintly heard!
At that moment, in the mist, a resentful look flashed across Zhou Chao’s dim eyes, and in his blood-covered, slightly trembling hand, he held a formation pattern, activating the formation!
