Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 47



Chapter 47: Skillful

Yan Chengcai and the others had ghastly expressions on their faces. Although their faces were covered, rage could be seen through their eyes.

It was natural for them to be enraged because a fop had come out of nowhere, speaking conceited nonsense. Besides, they were still in high spirits and were proud after just winning a fight, thus they could not stand being provoked.

Big Bull roared, “Let me do it!”

He darted forward, then attacked with Iron Fist, which caused the wind to blow due to its strong momentum.

Among the twenty men involved in the night battle, Big Bull’s power was one of the best, and only the unlucky big man who broke his leg could contend with him. In fact, even Yan Chengcai and Huang Jingtian were inferior to him.

However, when Big Bull swung his fist swiftly and was about to hit the fop, the fop sneered disdainfully.

By turning his body to the side slightly, the fop dodged Big Bull’s fist, which ended up brushing past his body. At the same time, he ten tripped Big Bull, causing Big Bull to fall forward to the ground.

The other soldiers were shocked, and dignified looks were seen on their faces.

Ou Yangming, who was hiding a distance away, was suddenly enlightened. He felt as though there was a strike of lightning in his head when the fop attacked earlier, and seemed to have spotted or comprehended something.

At the next instant, the purple light in his mind was automatically activated, which split his consciousness into two and allowed him to watch the fight as an outsider.

Yan Chengcai yelled, “Big Bull, are you okay?”

“Boss, I’m fine, I just accidentally fell earlier.” Big Bull’s face was red when he sat up.

Though he was unwilling to admit it as he was stubborn, the others knew that it was definitely not an accident.

“Don’t worry, I won’t bully you. I also have the cultivation base of Force Grade Class Five, and I’m not wearing any equipment,” The fop mentioned proudly as he clapped his hands, and did not hide the fact that he was belittling them. “If you still don’t want to attack me , I’ll initiate the attack!”

“Okay, since you’re so interested, I’ll oblige you.” Yan Chengcai gestured for his brothers to calm down, then strode toward his opponent with clenched fists.

Although he could tell that the fop was a tough opponent, he had two pieces of Attribute Equipment on him. The extra Power and Agility attributes were boosting his confidence.

The fop stood with his hands behind his back, and his expression made him seem like he was taking a leisurely walk under the moonlight instead of preparing to fight an enemy.

“Be careful!” Yan Chengcai shouted and threw a punch at the fop’s chest.

While the punch seemed to have a powerful momentum, in truth, he had slightly held back.

Nonetheless, it was obvious that the opponents he had been facing lately were different. The fop swayed a little, and actually dodged Yan Chengcai’s fist right before he was about to get hit.

If the fop had dodged a little later, Yan Chengcai’s fist would have hit him, and if he had dodged a bit earlier, Yan Chengcai could have changed his attack. Nevertheless, the fop avoided at such perfect timing that he managed to slide out of Yan Chengcai’s punch, and he was even able to get closer to Yan Chengcai.

Yan Chengcai was appalled. He quickly curbed his energy then swung his arm at the fop, but before he succeeded, a mighty force that hit the side of his body had already sent him flying away.

One move. In just one move, Yan Chengcai flew away without the ability to control his body at all.

Ou Yangming was stupefied, and his face actually reddened a little. Under the purple light’s assistant, he witnessed everything clearly.

As mentioned by the fop earlier, his cultivation base was at the peak of Force Grade Class Five. In terms of power only, he was actually inferior to Yan Chengcai, who had gained extra power, but his skills were too powerful and his combat timing was simply on point. The way he fought was very pleasing to the eye.

In actual fact, nobody else would have the same impression, not even Squad Leader Yan Haobo or Centurion Liu Zhengye.

Ou Yangming was the only one who had the impression as he saw everything clearly, as well as understood the difficulty and theory behind it. Besides, he vaguely felt that the ability was extremely important for him.

“Brothers, joint attack!” Big Bull roared. He was not bothered when he fell, but his face was ghastly pale when he saw Yan Chengcai being sent flying away.

The eight remaining soldiers quickly responded to him, and wielded their fists as they approached the fop in a single file.

Yan Chengcai did not stop them because he knew from facing the fop himself that there was a great disparity between their abilities. Therefore, he gritted his teeth after standing up again, and charged at the fop without hesitation.

When ten well-trained soldiers surrounded their enemy, their combat power increased.

Despite that, the fop was still smiling fearlessly. “Hehe, didn’t I tell you earlier? You should’ve done this a long time ago.”

Subsequently, he swayed while advancing with strides. Even as he was encircled by Yan Chengcai and his brothers, he moved like a slippery fish. It was as if he was treading on water without being hurt at all.

Huang Jingtian and his men who were on the ground were already stupefied.

They were very familiar with Yan Chengcai and his men, thus they knew that they had already given their all, yet they could not do any harm to the fop. Moreover, they noticed from their perspective that there was constantly something wrong. Instead of Yan Chengcai, who had multiple people on his side, the fop, who was fighting alone, was the one in control of the fight.

Ou Yangming was full of spirit as he had already substituted himself into the fight.

Being besieged by ten soldiers, the step technique and skill performed by the fop was extremely strange as he could do what was unachievable by the others. This was also the exact reason that he dominated the scene like he was walking a monkey.

Yes. In Ou Yangming’s opinion, the fop was walking a monkey, and he seemed to be enjoying it very much.

That being said, it was the odd situation that gave Ou Yangming unbelievable benefits.

His consciousness that was being an outsider slowly grasped the key points of the fop’s body technique, and was making a copy in his head.

The feeling was indescribable, but Ou Yangming felt like he had transformed into the fop who was moving between the men freely and easily regardless of the threatening fist winds around him.

Ou Yangming was able to contend with and defeat the strong Yan Chengcai previously due to the wonderful purple light.

However, he had that performance because he explored and thought things through. In other words, the breakthrough was forced out of him as he was helpless back then.

On the other hand, the fop’s performance seemed to have opened a door that would lead Ou Yangming to the peak, and a beautiful view was seen behind the door.

It turned out that combat skills were this mighty.

If the strengths between two people were Heaven and Earth apart, combat skills were obviously pointless, but if one’s skills were at a certain level, one could challenge someone more superior.

Ou Yangming clenched his fists unknowingly as he felt an upsurge of emotion that could not be controlled.

If he had fathomed the skills long ago, would he still be flustered when he faced the seemingly awe-inspiring and unstoppable slash from Yan Haobo’s saber?

No. Even if he were to face Squad Leader Yan, Ou Yangming would be able to fight!

Skills. Real skills were truly magnificent.

At the spur of the moment, Ou Yangming had it all figured out.

Therefore, while feeling eager to try, the purple light in his mind glowed again.

This time, a hint of the purple light even entered the mental power between his eyebrows.

Mental power was originally invisible, but Ou Yangming stimulated it by luck during a moment of life or death, so it took a form. In spite of that, the mental power was so peculiar that he could not normally control it.

After seeing the fop’s skillful tricks, Ou Yangming came to a sudden realization.

It was no longer a normal trick, but a superpower that allowed him to trigger his mental power.

The moment the purple light and his mental power came into contact, Ou Yangming finally felt like he had control. This meant that he could use his mental power from now on.

As expected, a hint of mental power was released from the eyebrows according to his thoughts, and existed in a thin form that was much thinner than a thin thread.

Needless to say, the mental power was unnoticeable through the naked eye, but Ou Yangming knew that it truly existed.

‘Mm. I can use my mental power now, but it’s not very useful…’ He wondered.

“Hey!” The fop’s lazy voice filled the air. “If that’s all you have, I’m too lazy to be playing with you.”

The fop had only been dodging attacks without counterattacking at all, but his face suddenly changed as he made continuous hits.

Consequently, shrieks were instantly heard. Yan Chengcai and his brothers watched the fop attacks, and though the attacks were not fast at all, they somehow suffered heavy blows on their bodies.

After a brief moment, nobody was left standing besides the fop.

The fop fluttered his sleeves as if he had just done something not worth mentioning.

Just as he was about to leave proudly, he noticed through the corner of his eyes that a figure was approaching him. Nonetheless, the person who was walking toward him in a straight line made him feel like he was swaying strangely.

The fop had a grave expression on his face for the first time.
