Chapter 44: Chapter 44- Clash (2)

"I will correct my mistake today by capturing you myself. Others might be unable to see through your strength, but not me. I will capture you myself, break your cultivation and throw you at patriarch\'s feet. He will decide on your fate".

Zhang Zhan spoke decisively, he was just about to make his move, when Zhang Bu cupped his hands and stepped in between.

"A moment please elder, there is no need for you to take action personally. Allow me Zhang Bu to capture this slave for you".

Zhang Zhan mused in his head before nodding his head. Although earlier he said that he had seen through Yang Chen\'s strength, the other party was hiding their strength.

He could only ascertain that the other party was at least as strong as an Eight Star Battle Apprentice based on how they were able to avoid Zhang Bu\'s sneak attack.

"Alright, he is all yours. Make sure to teach him a good lesson"...

"Leave it me Elder Zhang Zhan" Zhang Bu smiled, cracked his knuckles and pointed towards Yang Chen "Hehe... I must thank you, Yang Chen... because of you I can earn some merits to show my superiors. Do not hold it against me, if you want to blame something, blame your fate".

BANG... just as Zhang Bu\'s words fell, the ground around him cracked and he appeared in front of Yang Chen in an instant. A simple punch without any skill or technique behind and only packed with pure strength was thrown at Yang Chen.

The latter stood motionless as if he couldn\'t even perceive the attack coming. The fist smashed against Yang Chen\'s head causing a smile to appear on Zhang Bus\'s face but the next second, that smile quickly disappeared when he felt no resistance against his fist.

His fist simply passed through Yang Chen without even damaging the latter.

\'How can that be?\' Zhang Bu was lost for a second unable to understand what had happened. When he looked at Yang Chen once again, he saw the latter\'s body become illusory and dissipate... an afterimage.

"That brat... he has learned a movement type Battle Skill" Zhang Zhan stated, his eyes chasing Yang Chen\'s actual body.

The words that he uttered, caused the members from the Zhang clan to exclaim in surprise. A battle skill especially a movement type skill was many times harder to learn than the offensive types.

Even members like them who are from the prominent Zhang clan from the cloud city, they only managed to learn a single low tier battle skill and that too an offensive type.

Aptitude and talent played a large part when learning a battle skill. However since they lacked that, they were unable to learn any battle skill higher than Low Tier. Thus it came as quite a surprise to them that a slave like Yang Chen was able to learn a movement type battle skill.

"Hehh, it seems like you being able to kill the third young master Zhang Wei was not a bluff after all. In that case, allow me to see how good that movement skill of yours is" Zhang Bu spat, a little annoyed by how fast Yang Chen was.

After his initial attack missed, Zhang Bu became more aggressive in his battle. Battle energy circulated around his body increasing his power even further.

Storms of punches, kicks and blows came raining towards Yang Chen in a series of attacks that left him to continuously use his movement skill in an attempt to dodge.

Zhang Zhan closely monitored their fight, and after a while, he determined that Zhang Bu would come out victorious. The reason for that was of course because he knew the strength of his subordinate the best.

Zhang Bu had a ton of experience in fighting and was driving his opponent into a corner. Not only that, but he was also stronger than the third young master Zhang Wei even though both of them were in the same Nine Star Battle Apprentice level.

The difference in their strength was largely due to their foundation and energy. Zhang Bu had a much more solid foundation than someone who had taken medicines and other treasures to increase their strength and his aura was also much more stable.

Then there was also the difference between their battle experience. Compared to Zhang Bu who had completed many bloody missions for the clan, Zhang Wei was a spoiled third soon who spend his days fooling around.

Given the fact that he was easily able to dominate his fight against Yang Chen, it was only just natural for Zhang Zhan to believe so. But that misconception of his was soon cleared away and replaced by a shock when he saw how calm and collected Yang Chen was even after dodging dozens of attacks from Zhang Bu.

The latter on the other hand looked out of breath and discomposed after failing to even land a single blow on his opponent.

"Ahh that movement skill is so annoying. Let\'s see if you can dodge this... [Lion\'s Fury Attack]".

Zhang Bu activated one of the top battle skills of the Zhang clan, the [Lion\'s Fury Attack] which was an Earth Grade Mid Tier battle skill.

Battle energy gathered around Zhang Bu\'s finger and quickly formed pale yellowish claws. ROARR... after that he roared like a wild animal and pounced towards Yang Chen with a ferocity similar to one.

His power and speed, were all on a different level. Though even then, he was still unable to even scratch Yang Chen\'s clothes, forget about dealing a blow.

Zhang Zhan\'s eyes which previously were assured of Zhang Bu\'s victory before gradually started to become gloomy over the time.

The more Yang Chen kept dodging Zhang bu\'s attack, the more he realised that the former was playing with the latter. Plus those wild movements...

"To be even able to keep up with Zhang Bu when he is using that skill, that movement skill of that brat... it can\'t be a sky grade!!?!" Zhang Zhan exclaimed in shock.
