Strong! Those creatures were powerful!
Ye Lingchen had always thought that he had it easy with the system, allowing him to cultivate with ease and avoid any mistakes. When having the techniques of the same level, he could even upgrade it later.
Especially when he was in the Sichuan-Tibet region. After running into Master Mo, another martial artist at the early level of Innate Stage, it made him feel strong and confident of his abilities.
Even if there were stages beyond the Innate Stage, he would still consider himself matchless within the same stage.
Nevertheless, at that moment, he realized that he had been mistaken.
He did cultivate plenty of techniques that helped him cultivate his Inner Force and physical endurance. He was a lot stronger than Master Mo, but things did not look good when compared.
These creatures resided in the Void Realm and their cultivation techniques were definitely abnormal. Putting that aside, they had a wild fearlessness within them and had experienced hundreds of battles, allowing them to develop their strength fully.
However, putting the creatures aside, even the Warriors from the Martial Arts Pavilion were well seasoned fighters. Moreover, they had access to the Martial Arts Pavilion’s resources and were able to cultivate more techniques. Their growth was also quick, leading to their power gain.
‘Do not be arrogant!’ Ye Lingchen reminded himself.
He only had the Arhat’s Fist Force, Eight Extremities Brute Training, and Parkour at the advanced level, followed by Dragon-Catcher Hand at the basic level. These techniques were definitely not considered as high level martial arts in the Void Realm.
Within the Void realm, spirit stones, spirit fruits, and their various weapons were extraordinary. The experts in martial arts would also grow along. Although he had the system, he was not unbeatable. He still needed to keep a low profile.
With a casual claw, he snapped the neck of the creature before him as he continued his charge at the female creature.
There were less than 10 crossbow users on the battlefield. The existence of these crossbows would even strike fear in the hearts of Innate Stage martial artists. It was almost a confirmed death for whoever it was aimed at.
If there were Grade-A creatures engaged with Ye Lingchen and that female creature shot at him from the sidelines, then Ye Lingchen’s situation would be dire. That made killing the female creature a must kill for Ye Lingchen!
He once again charged forward for several dozen feet. However, the female creature was also backing off at the same time. Meanwhile, Grade-A creatures were starting to rush over, causing Ye Lingchen’s brows to knit into a frown.
“Hold them back!”
On the human’s side, an Innate Stage martial artist roared and shot a look at Ye Lingchen. His aged face had a healthy glow to it as he expanded his spiritual energy to engage with the two Grade-A creatures on his side.
The other Innate Stage martial artists behaved similarly. It was as though they were on drugs and risked everything to hold the creatures back.
Although they did not recognize Ye Lingchen, he was a human, and that was enough!
Compared to those unknown creatures, humans were naturally weaker because the creatures were born in the Void Realm dense spiritual energy. With that, they had a large number of experts. It was as though every single one of them were soldier material, outnumbering the humans’ combat forces several times over.
Because of that, the battles over the years had always been one against many, leaving the humans defending their positions at a disadvantage.
Ye Lingchen’s sudden entrance lowered the pressure on the human Warriors. A group of Grade-B and Grade-C creatures started charging at him. However, the human Warriors were not relenting either. They were filled with bloodlust, trying to create openings for Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen was closing in on the female creature. Her gaze turned even more ruthless and fired another bolt, but it was not aimed at Ye Lingchen. Instead, it was aimed at a nearby peak level Inner Force martial artist. He died in one shot!
“Kill!”
Right then, a Warrior impaled on the ground shouted suddenly. Using the last of his strength, he grabbed onto that female creature’s ankle!
Swoosh!
With a flash, that Warrior’s wrist was chopped off cleanly. Nevertheless, that female creature was delayed for a little bit.
“Brothers, charge!”
A large number of Warriors charged in, with some coming from the sides. That limited the female creature’s escape route.
More and more Warriors followed the same method. Even in death, they would try to slow her down.
Ye Lingchen was affected by the emotions as well. His eyes turned red as he let out a low growl and sent a fist forward. The overpowering fist force shot forth like a cannon, piercing through the chest of a Grade-B creature before him. Following that, the fist force showed no signs of diminishing as it continued to decimate over a dozen Grade-C creatures!
Ye Lingchen’s rate of killing increased. Although there were a lot of Grade-C creatures, it was impossible for them to block Ye Lingchen’s path. The next moment, Ye Lingchen was less than a meter away from the female creature.
“Kaku! (Die)” At that moment, the female creature raised her crossbow and shot at him at such a short distance!
“Fool!”
Ye Lingchen had a vicious smile on his face. His Arhat’s Fist Force condensed to a point and exploded with a thunderous boom. The fist force was like a dragon, pouring forth with the power to level a hill!
One should know that Ye Lingchen’s fist force was strong enough to shatter rocks. At that moment, his strength grew crazily. With the power of his fist, even marble would be reduced to dust!
As strong as the crossbow was, it was no match for Ye Lingchen’s fist force.
Boom!
The fist force decimated the crossbow bolt, then without losing its momentum, it caused the female creature’s chest to collapse inward as she flew backward.
Ye Lingchen did not stop there and sent another fist at that female creature, blowing her to smithereens!
After that, he quickly swiped up the female creature’s crossbow and bolts, hanging it around his waist.
“Kaku!”
At that moment, a group of Grade-A creatures roared in anger. One of them had even broken off the battlefield and rushed at Ye Lingchen in rage.
Instead of retreating, Ye Lingchen charged forward at that Grade-A creature. Along the way, he also took the lives of many other creatures.
That Grade-A creature held a spear that was exuding a bloody mist and attacked Ye Lingchen with a sweeping stroke!
Whoosh!
The spear whistled in the wind. Within the blood mist was some form of special energy that gave of a flapping sound!
That blood mist should be related to the technique the creature cultivated. Its very foundation was made of spiritual energy. However, the martial arts cultivated by the creature was purely meant for combat. It did not contain unnecessary fancy moves. Instead, it was simple and straightforward, maximizing its attack power!
Although Ye Lingchen was barehanded, he showed no signs of fear as he sent a fist forward at the side of the spear!
Boom!
Ye Lingchen’s wrist shook and felt slightly numb. The weapon from the Void Realm was quite extraordinary.
The Grade-A creature’s hands were completely disfigured from the shockwave. However, it quickly stabilized itself. Holding tightly onto its spear, it in turn stabbed the spear at Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen’s left hand formed a claw shape. Although Dragon-Catching Hand was only at the basic level, he managed to execute it smoothly. His fingers grabbed on the spear shaft tightly like an eagle’s grasp. After that, his right hand formed a fist and sent it at the Grade-A creature that was only a spear’s length away from him!
His fist force was like a sledgehammer smashing into the Grade-A creature’s chest, causing it to dent inwards as blood spilled forth. Ye Lingchen took that opportunity to grab the spear and twirled it around. After that, his spear struck out like a dragon. The tip of the spear cut across the Grade-A creature’s throat!
The creature’s eyes opened wide as it held onto its neck. Before it could even fully realize what happened, it slumped to the ground…
