Northern Tyrant!

If Elder Sanxu and Sang Qing were much younger, perhaps after Sang Qing’s passing, Elder Sanxu has always been a person who appears indifferent to worldly affairs, and the Northern Tyrant would become the number one powerhouse in the Northern State Territory!

The Northern Tyrant himself is an arrogant and extremely powerful person, who fears neither heaven nor earth. From the beginning, he could see that Sang Qing’s passing was a golden opportunity for him, a chance to rise without facing much resistance. Hence, he would never allow anyone to disrespect his authority; only he can oppress others strongly and won’t allow others to oppress him!

Yet, Ye Tianchen is someone who sticks to principles rather than people, no matter who you are. As long as you dare to strongly and unreasonably assault him, he will fight you without yielding or admitting defeat!

In this situation, the Northern Tyrant agreed to suppress his Cultivation Realm to mid-stage Martial Saint to have a fair fight with Ye Tianchen on equal footing. His aim was simple, to suppress Ye Tianchen and assertively tell him that the Northern Tyrant’s power is formidable, and regardless of circumstances, Ye Tianchen is not his opponent!

Elder Sanxu floated high up, exuding an aloof aura, while the Northern Tyrant stood on the ground, using Martial Arts Power within him to suppress his Cultivation Realm to mid-stage Martial Saint. With a face full of confidence and calmness, he looked at Ye Tianchen, believing that as long as he strikes, victory is assured!

Ye Tianchen himself was still heavily injured, though able to consecutively defeat Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, Dao Yu, and even kill Bai Wuji, demonstrating Ye Tianchen’s maximal power. It also indicated the exceptional difficulty posed by Yu Jianzi and the others. On the surface, Ye Tianchen showed no injuries, but internally, he was deeply hurt. All his organs were severely injured, and facing an elder powerhouse like Northern Tyrant was truly uncertain for him!

However, Ye Tianchen understood this principle, Sang Qing was also aware, and even Princess Zi Xuan knew. Sang Qing was about to pass away, and the Flying Flower Zen Temple was weak. With the conviction of her last days, she managed to persuade Elder Sanxu and the Northern Tyrant to agree not to attack the Flying Flower Zen Temple after her demise, which wasn’t easy, further illustrating Sang Qing’s strength. Even at the brink of death, she surprised Elder Sanxu and the Northern Tyrant, making them cautious.

But Sang Qing was after all about to die, a person at the end of her life, how much of a threat could she realistically pose? Convincing Elder Sanxu and the Northern Tyrant not to attack the Zen temple’s legacy after her death was already hard. If truly enraged, Elder Sanxu and the Northern Tyrant would rather wage war against Sang Qing, and their battle prowess was evenly matched. No matter how strong Sang Qing was, she could not single-handedly eliminate both Northern Tyrant and Elder Sanxu, and whichever one remained would certainly obliterate the Zen temple’s legacy in wrath!

Ye Tianchen’s appearance angered the Northern Tyrant. When he tried to oppress Ye Tianchen with murderous intent, Ye Tianchen didn’t retreat, instead, facing him with confronting murderous intent, creating an equal and balanced battle, which ignited a flame of anger within Northern Tyrant’s heart.

In a few words, Northern Tyrant wanted a battle with Ye Tianchen, arrogantly claiming he wouldn’t bully the weak and even if he suppressed his Cultivation Realm to mid-stage Martial Saint, he could still defeat Ye Tianchen. In his eyes, Ye Tianchen wasn’t his opponent, regardless, he could completely suppress Ye Tianchen, even kill him in one strike!

Princess Zi Xuan worried about Ye Tianchen’s internal injuries, as after a series of battles, Ye Tianchen was severely wounded. Although outwardly he seemed unhurt, his organs were severely injured, and his Dantian’s Martial Arts True Qi hadn’t recovered. Facing Northern Tyrant, an elder powerhouse, raised concerns!

Nevertheless, Ye Tianchen wasn’t one to hesitate; in a situation where a fight was inevitable and retreat impossible, he chose to confront. His worry was the timing of Sang Qing’s death. If while fighting Northern Tyrant, Sang Qing couldn’t hold on and passed away, it would be troubling for Flying Flower Zen Temple!

”Senior, can you hold on until my battle with Northern Tyrant ends?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”Though difficult, I will certainly hold on. I understand, you can fight with ease!” Sang Qing nodded and said.

”That’s good!” Ye Tianchen earnestly replied.

”Northern Tyrant is strong, even if his Cultivation Realm is suppressed to mid-stage Martial Saint, he’s not going to be easy to deal with, be careful!” Sang Qing reminded Ye Tianchen.

”I’ll fight with all my might, I won’t play games!” Ye Tianchen nodded in understanding.

Ye Tianchen knew Northern Tyrant was a powerhouse. Anyone could simply think to understand that with Northern Tyrant’s lifespan, he was over a thousand years younger than Sang Qing and Elder Sanxu. This meant over a thousand years ago, Northern Tyrant was the top powerhouse among the younger generation in the Northern State Territory. Otherwise, how could he achieve his current status?

Northern Tyrant’s strength was immense, and his talent outstanding. Once the top powerhouse among the younger generation, defeating all peers, surely experiencing similar struggles as Ye Tianchen. Thus, even suppressing his Cultivation Realm to mid-stage Martial Saint, he remained extremely strong. Against peer cultivators with the same Cultivation Realm in Martial Arts, they likely couldn’t match him, as he wielded invincible power at the same Cultivation Realm!

Sang Qing was barely holding on; her Essence, Energy, Spirit was rapidly dissipating, which was exactly Ye Tianchen’s concern. If before defeating Northern Tyrant, Sang Qing already passed away, it would be incredibly dangerous. It wasn’t that Ye Tianchen sought Sang Qing’s protection for survival against Northern Tyrant but in the sky, there’s still Elder Sanxu, an unfathomable old man. Nobody knew what he was thinking!

Who could guarantee Elder Sanxu wouldn’t strike? Among Sang Qing, Elder Sanxu, Northern Tyrant, perhaps the most powerful one was Elder Sanxu, whose depth and hidden intent surpassed others. Without someone to make Elder Sanxu apprehensive, the victor of this battle might ultimately be Elder Sanxu!

Some things require careful thought, some people necessitate caution, especially in this brutal world of the strong preying upon the weak, full of seemingly inexplicable matters requiring foresight!

Ye Tianchen’s thoughts were crucial for him and Flying Flower Zen Temple. He clearly understood that with his current Cultivation Realm and combat power, defeating Northern Tyrant and Elder Sanxu was impossible. He needs time to cultivate, and here, the one most able to intimidate these two Northern State Territory powerhouses and exert influence was Sang Qing. If during the battle with Northern Tyrant Sang Qing passed away, Flying Flower Zen Temple would find itself in an extremely disadvantageous situation!

Boom!

With a muffled sound, Northern Tyrant suppressed his Cultivation Realm to mid-stage Martial Saint, coldly looking at Ye Tianchen and disdainfully saying, ”Young man, how about I let you strike first?”

”No need, you strike first; let me see how strong you are!” Ye Tianchen calmly said, looking at Northern Tyrant.

”Hahahaha, it’s been a while since I’ve seen such an arrogant youth. Then I, Northern Tyrant, won’t hold back, don’t blame me for killing you with one palm!” Northern Tyrant laughed boisterously.

”You can’t kill me with one palm; don’t overestimate yourself!” Ye Tianchen coldly replied with a sneer.

Snap!

Northern Tyrant’s expression changed, murderous intent rose as he unleashed a palm strike towards Ye Tianchen. His power was tremendous, causing the land to tremble!

Bam!

Ye Tianchen certainly wouldn’t show weakness; in such a situation, a battle means fighting, one must not be weaker than the enemy, or the future will be even tougher. Sang Qing was going to pass away, and Flying Flower Zen Temple was weak. Without displaying strong power to these lurking enemies, wouldn’t anyone dare to assault Flying Flower Zen Temple?

Thud-thud!

With a muffled sound, Northern Tyrant’s powerful palm collided with Ye Tianchen’s fist; both frowned, but soon Ye Tianchen’s fist shattered, and Northern Tyrant’s remaining palm strike continued towards Ye Tianchen. Shocked, Ye Tianchen quickly dodged, causing Northern Tyrant’s remaining palm to miss its target!

”Humph, I thought you were so strong, didn’t expect that after suppressing my Cultivation Realm to mid-stage Martial Saint, you’re still not my opponent. Really disappointing!” Northern Tyrant coldly snorted, shaking his head at Ye Tianchen.

”It’s just the beginning, no need to be so arrogant. Seems your temperament is too impetuous, really wonder how you’ve reached this level!” Ye Tianchen displeasedly glanced at Northern Tyrant.

”Humph, brat, it’s not your place to lecture me! Surrender or face total annihilation!” Northern Tyrant coldly gazed at Ye Tianchen, after that palm strike, he didn’t consider Ye Tianchen a threat!

Snap!

Northern Tyrant is arrogant and ruthless, and his strength is indeed formidable. Even with his Cultivation Realm suppressed to mid-stage Martial Saint, he still exudes a sense of awe. This guy, with his relatively youthful lifespan, became one of the top three powerhouses in the Northern State Territory, truly remarkable!
