Jin Tian Gu sneered, "No matter what you say, I will kill you today!"
Ye Tian glanced at him. "Indeed, much of the technique I employed has been undone by you. You do possess some skill."
Jin Tian Gu chuckled sinisterly, "When I was human, I was already close to becoming an Earth Immortal. Now, killing a nobody like you is as easy as lifting a finger."
"Is that so?"
Ye Tian struck out with a palm strike, employing the Hundred Pace Divine Fist. A fist silhouette hit Jin Tian Gu, whose body pulsed with surging airflow, yet he appeared unharmed.
He laughed heartily, "How could such crude martial arts possibly harm me?"
Ye Tian said, "Take another punch."
He unleashed another palm strike, this one imbued with the power of the Five Divine Coins. A five-colored radiance accompanied the punch, striking Jin Tian Gu.
"Pfft!"
Jin Tian Gu's body arched like a shrimp, his expression contorted in extreme pain, his features twisted.
He roared in anger, "You possess the Five Divine Coins!"
"Again." Ye Tian followed with several more punches, each carrying the might of the Five Divine Coins.
Initially in agony, Jin Tian Gu gradually began to sneer, "Do you think mere Five Divine Coins can deal with me?"
Ye Tian said calmly, "Who said I can only use the Five Divine Coins?"
He drew the Jade Emperor Mace from his waist. With a flick of the mace, a golden light shot towards his opponent's brow. The golden light was so swift that Jin Tian Gu only had time to slightly turn his head.
"Pfft!"
Half of Jin Tian Gu's skull was blasted away, revealing his brain matter, which was still pulsing.
Jin Tian Gu was greatly alarmed. He clapped his hands together, and a black light flew out, charging towards Ye Tian.
Ye Tian swept the Jade Emperor Mace in his hand, generating a layer of purple light that easily dispersed the black light. He then cleaved the air, and a purple lightning bolt, as thin as a hemp rope, struck Jin Tian Gu squarely on the forehead.
"Crack!"
Jin Tian Gu's entire body trembled, and he collapsed onto the ground, his eyes rolled back, and black smoke emanating from his forehead.
Ye Tian chuckled, "The effect is quite good."
He walked over and pressed the ancient jade seal onto Jin Tian Gu's brow. Simultaneously, he placed several strings of Five Divine Coins on his body and positioned the bronze short sword at his neck.
With these treasures in place, Jin Tian Gu would be unable to resist even if he were unharmed.
He was both shocked and furious. "Ye Tian, what do you want?"
Ye Tian smiled. "Old man, occupying someone else's body is rather boring. Why not find a new place to reside?"
His opponent snorted, "Impossible!"
Ye Tian produced a prepared straw effigy from behind him, adorned with strange talismans. This effigy, known as the Yin Kui, was simple to make but highly effective, a technique he had learned from Zhu You Arts.
He chanted an obscure incantation. After a few phrases, the surrounding air began to vibrate, and an inexplicable force manifested.
Jin Tian Gu cried out, "What are you doing?"
As he spoke, a wisp of white smoke flew from his brow and was absorbed into the straw effigy.
Ye Tian immediately produced a jar and tossed the effigy inside, sealing it with two talismans on the outside.
He then retrieved the detached half of Jin Tian Gu's skull, placed it back on his head, and proceeded to stitch it up with needle and thread, even disinfecting the wound with alcohol.
Once everything was done, he patted Jin Tian Gu twice. Instantly, Jin Tian Gu's eyes fluttered open, his expression one of pain. "Where is this?"
Ye Tian replied, "You were possessed by an evil spirit. Were you aware of this?"
Jin Tian Gu nodded. "Although my consciousness was hazy, like a dream, I knew what was happening. Just now, you eliminated that evil spirit."
Ye Tian confirmed, "I did. Otherwise, you would have been completely consumed by it, losing yourself."
Jin Tian Gu struggled to his feet and knelt before Ye Tian, bowing. "Thank you, sir, for saving me."
Ye Tian asked, "What are your plans?"
Jin Tian Gu's face fell into a look of worry. "Sir, you are a capable person. I beg you to save me!"
Ye Tian chuckled. "You now possess immense wealth and are a renowned figure in the country. Why would you need anyone to save you?"
Jin Tian Gu sighed. "I controlled all of this because of that evil spirit. He had the strength and the ability. But I do not. With my capabilities, I cannot manage such vast wealth."
Ye Tian nodded in agreement. "Although you were possessed for so long, your mind remains clear. Indeed, if such great wealth were suddenly bestowed upon you, you would struggle to keep it, and it might even cost you your life."
Jin Tian Gu implored, "Yes. Can you help me, sir?"
