After reincarnating, I became a second generation villain Chapter 322 Slowed Down Time
Previously on After reincarnating, I became a second generation villain...
"Lin Tian, don't expect me to be the same person as before. I am different, I am full of strength, and I will not repeat the same mistakes." Ye Chen stated coldly.
"Really? You are nothing more than a tramp picked up by a weak master. I shall show you how vast the gap in our strengths truly is." Lin Tian retorted icily, his formidable aura signaling his intent to attack once more.
Lin Tian lunged swiftly towards Ye Chen, a searing flame manifesting in his hand.
Bang!
Lin Tian's fiery fist was met by an invisible barrier before Ye Chen, halting its advance.
Ye Chen had not physically touched Lin Tian's hand; it seemed as though the very air itself was a bulwark against his punch.
Bang!
Lin Tian struck again with his left hand, yet the air remained unyieldingly strong, preventing him from landing a blow on Ye Chen.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Lin Tian continued his relentless assault. Ye Chen's expression grew serious, appearing to be overwhelmed by Lin Tian's furious barrage.
Bang!
The aerial barrier finally shattered, and Ye Chen was propelled backward by Lin Tian's ferocious strike.
Before Ye Chen could even regain his balance, still recoiling from the impact, Lin Tian suddenly materialized before him and seized his neck.
Grasping Ye Chen by the throat, Lin Tian rocketed skyward at breakneck speed.
Ye Chen's countenance turned exceedingly grim. Gripped by Lin Tian's hand and soaring through the air, he found himself utterly helpless due to Lin Tian's incredible velocity.
In less than a minute of rapid ascent, Lin Tian reached the summit of their location, thousands of feet in the air, and unceremoniously hurled Ye Chen downwards.
Plummeting from the sky, Ye Chen struggled to stabilize himself and attempt flight, a feat proving difficult as he had never flown before.
His eyes suddenly widened in alarm as he witnessed Lin Tian hurtling towards him, a dark entity in tow.
Whoosh!
A dragon-shaped Eternal Flame erupted from Lin Tian's palm, streaking towards Ye Chen with astonishing speed.
Ye Chen immediately channeled his will to erect a defense against the incoming attack.
He closed his eyes, then reopened them, fixing his gaze on the eternal flame with intense concentration.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, something above was reduced to cinders.
Ye Chen's eyes widened further. He had employed a technique to diminish the eternal flame into a mere wisp, yet he hadn't anticipated his very method being consumed by the fire.
Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Chen raised his hand, and a colossal shield materialized before him.
Bang!
The Eternal Flame collided with Ye Chen's shield, which was instantly engulfed and devoured by the inferno.
Undeterred, Ye Chen conjured shield after shield, layering them precariously and even adding water atop the formation.
Whoosh!
Regrettably, even the water vanished within seconds, vaporized by the searing heat of the eternal flame.
Ye Chen was on the verge of impact with the ground, but he miraculously levitated a few centimeters above its surface, momentarily holding back the eternal flame with his stacked shields.
Bang!
Lin Tian descended from above, shattering the layered shields with a sudden blow and striking Ye Chen directly in the chest.
Whoosh!
Accompanying Lin Tian's punch, Ye Chen felt a bone-searing heat permeate his entire body.
Bang!
Lin Tian was abruptly sent flying backward, along with the fragmented debris of the shields.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen slowly pushed himself to his feet. The aura he exuded was incredibly potent, and his appearance was now quite fearsome.
Significant burns marred several parts of his body, and streaks of blood stained the corners of his mouth.
Ye Chen gathered the ambient aura, reabsorbing it, but his expression turned grave, tinged with disbelief.
Why were his wounds not healing?
He had been utilizing his imagination to mend all his injuries, so why was this ability failing him?
While the searing pain in his chest from Lin Tian's punch had indeed subsided, the agony of the burns persisted, intensifying and becoming even more excruciating.
In the interim, Lin Tian stood with his arms crossed, regarding Ye Chen with a look of utter derision.
"What do you think? You possess a formidable power that manifests through your imagination, a heaven-defying ability. But what of it? You are utterly weak," Lin Tian sneered, his tone dripping with disdain.
Ye Chen clenched his jaw upon hearing Lin Tian's words. That individual remained unchanged, his tongue as sharp as ever, inciting a fierce urge within Ye Chen to tear him asunder.
"Lin Tian, do not presume victory based solely on that one attack. Our battle has only just begun," Ye Chen stated with icy resolve.
"Indeed. I shall carve you into tiny pieces and roast you until you become barbecue," Lin Tian vowed menacingly, another flame igniting in his hand.
Ye Chen maintained his composure upon hearing Lin Tian’s declaration. The burns inflicted by the eternal flame were beyond conventional healing, even by supernatural means; he was forced to fight in his current, scorched state.
Ye Chen closed his eyes, focusing his intent.
However, he suddenly felt a blast of hot wind rushing towards him.
Lin Tian's fist was mere centimeters from Ye Chen's face.
Despite the imminent danger, Ye Chen's countenance remained unperturbed as he kept his eyes shut in deep concentration.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw a fist hurtling towards his face.
Yet, a triumphant smile spread across Ye Chen's lips; his perception had proven correct. He had managed to slow down time.
With a few swift steps backward and a joyous leap, Ye Chen stretched his arms, reveling in the sensation of moving through a temporally dilated world. It felt truly magnificent.
Then, he turned his gaze towards Lin Tian, a playful smirk gracing his features.
With a resounding crash!
He landed a blow squarely on Lin Tian's cheek.
With a resounding crash!
With a resounding crash!
He struck various points on Lin Tian's body.
Immediately after, the flow of time reverted to its normal pace.
With a resounding crash!
Lin Tian was sent flying backward, collapsing onto the ground.
A look of utter bewilderment washed over Lin Tian's face. Clutching his chest, he felt the sharp pain of a fractured rib.
He was completely baffled, unable to comprehend the sudden, excruciating recoil.
His gaze then shifted to Ye Chen, who regarded him with an air of unmistakable mockery.
A cold glint entered Lin Tian's eyes as he concluded that Ye Chen's peculiar technique must be the cause.
Focusing his gaze, Lin Tian concentrated, attempting to piece together the true nature of what had transpired.
Just as he closed his eyes, moments before attempting to react, time once again decelerated.
Ye Chen materialized before Lin Tian, wielding a sword seemingly forged from pure fire.
