Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 388: Chapter 387 [All Sisters Accepted?]

Li Qiushui, once the top disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, was highly esteemed by her master Dongfang Meng. She possessed an excellent understanding and innate talent. In fact, if Li Qiushui had not made a big mistake, she would have been the closed-door disciple and even the next Sect Leader instead of Dongfang Meng. Speaking of personal strength and skills, Li Qiushui was definitely above Dongfang Meng and undoubtedly had the strength to compete with Qing Chengyue. Moreover, Li Qiushui was innately cruel and ruthless, having mastered the sinister martial art of the Bone Melting Palm to the Ninth Level, with countless lives stained on her hands.

This time, it was clear that Li Qiushui knew the master was gone, leaving only her junior sister Dongfang Meng to guard the Ancient Tomb Sect. With her Bone Melting Palm mastered to the Ninth Level, just one step shy of Great Success, she certainly did not regard her junior sister Dongfang Meng highly, and had the confidence to break into the heavy grounds of the Ancient Tomb Sect to search for the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture.

In fact, given the extent of Li Qiushui’s ruthlessness, her intent this time was not only to find the cultivation method of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture but also to kill Dongfang Meng. That way, she would be the sole inheritor of the Ancient Tomb Sect and become the new Sect Leader. Under such circumstances, her return to the Ancient Tomb Sect and ascending to the position of Sect Leader, directing the sect, were not unjustified. How arrogant was that?

”Senior sister, you should know our sect’s rules. Only the Sect Leader’s closed-door disciples are allowed to cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. You are not only not a closed-door disciple but have also been expelled from the sect. You cannot cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture!” Dongfang Meng said earnestly to Li Qiushui.

”Hahaha, what a joke, sect rules? Maybe when the master was alive, our Ancient Tomb Sect had so-called sect rules, but now that the master is dead and the sect is left with only you, are there still any rules? I think it would be better if I become the Sect Leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect and establish the rules anew!” Li Qiushui stood atop the giant ice wall, laughing loudly.

Dongfang Meng shook her head; she understood that during this intrusion by her senior sister Li Qiushui, her goals were not only to seize the cultivation technique of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture but also to eliminate her, allowing herself to become the Sect Leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect. Currently, she and Tianchen had not completed the final cultivation spell of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. Their left hands tightly clutched together, and if they were to separate, both would suffer from the immense inner strength of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, leading to demonic possession and death. Now, faced with a powerful opponent like her senior sister Li Qiushui, it seemed likely that both would die here. Perhaps this was fate; cultivating the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture to Great Perfection truly wasn’t easy.

”Not bad palm strength, but it seems to still lack some tempering!”

At this moment, Tianchen smiled at Li Qiushui, leaving both Li Qiushui and Dongfang Meng startled, especially Li Qiushui who furrowed her brows. She looked at Tianchen since that one palm strike, although not at full strength, was still about fifty percent of her Bone Melting Palm’s power, which was already formidable, yet Tianchen blocked it as if it was nothing.

”Your right hand...” Dongfang Meng knew the ferocity of the Bone Melting Palm. During her master’s lifetime, she had been warned multiple times; it was a sinister martial art with great power but absolutely not to be practiced, for it was too cruel. However, when Dongfang Meng looked towards Tianchen’s right hand, she saw that his entire right arm was frozen, not just with a layer of frost but wrapped like layers of silken threads. That was the unique inner strength of the Bone Melting Palm. Anything it touched, even steel, would instantly melt, and now Tianchen’s entire right arm was enveloped by this inner strength, likely to turn into pus and blood in a blink, a grievous sight.

”No worries, this level is still nothing!”

The moment Tianchen’s words fell, his right arm forcefully shook, shattering the silken sheath wrapped around it. Those silk-like strands fell to the ground, instantly melting the ice there and even creating a large hole in the ground, causing Tianchen to frown. The Bone Melting Palm was indeed highly toxic, affecting both people and objects it touched, dissolving them.

Dongfang Meng had not expected that Tianchen would dare to confront a palm strike from her senior sister Li Qiushui and even shake off the palm power of the Bone Melting Palm so quickly. This guy was incredibly formidable, unbelievably so. After all, no one who had been struck by the Bone Melting Palm had ever come out unscathed.

Li Qiushui frowned. She had initially thought that even if her junior sister Dongfang Meng attracted a pretty boy for dual cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, his strength wouldn’t amount to much. Her Bone Melting Palm had reached the Ninth Level, making her one of the top masters in the present Ancient Martial World, unhesitant to face even a talented opponent like Qing Chengyue head-on. However, the young man before her not only looked good but also had formidable skills. It appeared her junior sister really found a remarkable man. Poor Li Qiushui, quite beautiful herself, was unloved by men, a thought that brought her sadness and jealousy enough to engender a murderous intent.

”I didn’t expect your body to be so formidable. Nowadays, people who focus on tempering their bodies are rare!” Li Qiushui couldn’t help but sneer.

Tianchen glanced at Li Qiushui. He kept clutching Dongfang Meng’s left hand tightly and signaled her with his eyes. His strength was not superior to Li Qiushui’s, and since he was unable to break free from Dongfang Meng, his movements were greatly restricted. Continuing like this, it would only be a matter of time before they were hit by Li Qiushui’s Bone Melting Palm and turned into a puddle of pus. The only way was to complete the last layer of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture’s cultivation method before Li Qiushui made her killing move. Then, with his and Dongfang Meng’s combined strength, they should be able to repel Li Qiushui, though actually killing this sinister woman might still pose some difficulty.

”Really? This handsome guy’s body is extremely tough, want to give it a try?” Ye Tianchen said with a rogue-like expression as he looked at Li Qiushui.

”Shameless...” Dongfang Meng’s cheeks flushed red, and she glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen.

”Let’s give it a try. Kill my junior sister right now, then extract the secrets of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture’s cultivation method from her, and I will perform the final step of dual cultivation with you, guaranteed to make you ecstatic. How does that sound?”

Li Qiushui showed no shyness. This woman had long been versed in affairs of men and women, and often felt very empty and lonely without a man. She could easily kill Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng, but Ye Tianchen’s performance made Li Qiushui somewhat wary. She didn’t know how strong this pretty boy really was. If she was careless and got seriously injured, or if anything went wrong, that would be a big loss. Moreover, allowing the man Dongfang Meng loved to kill her, there was nothing more delightful for Li Qiushui. Such was a woman of malevolent and perverted nature.

”Kill someone? A handsome and kind man like me really hasn’t done such things. I know you want the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. I just happened to have performed dual cultivation with Dongfang Meng, and I think you saw that, so not only does Dongfang Meng know the cultivation method of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, but I do too. However, there are rules in the sect, and family laws in the home; only the closed-door disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect can inherit the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. So what do we do? How about this? How would you two like it if I take the position of the Sect Leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect and take you both as closed-door disciples? Then we could all perform the dual cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture together, significantly boosting our strength. What do you think?” Ye Tianchen said with a sly smile.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s shameless proposal, Dongfang Meng shot him a fierce glance, while Ye Tianchen used his eyes to signal something to Dongfang Meng. She seemed to understand something, stopped talking, and no longer fluctuated emotionally. She closed her eyes, fully concentrating on gathering her inner strength to complete the final burst of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. Once achieved, she would no longer need to fear her senior sister, Li Qiushui.

”Wow, I didn’t expect you to be so greedy, wanting to take both me and your junior sister as well. Your romantic fortune really wouldn’t be shallow!” Li Qiushui laughed flirtatiously, her demeanor quite lascivious as she spoke to Ye Tianchen.

”I am a rare man who loves beauty more than power. In this way, we could resolve everything. Why should we engage in fighting and killing? And the three of us in the Ancient Tomb Sect, wouldn’t we live leisurely and carefree?” Ye Tianchen said with a roguish smile, looking at Li Qiushui.

”A rare man, I would really like to see what kind of wonders you can bring me...”

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen only saw Li Qiushui disappear above the ice wall, and he was completely startled. This woman was extremely vicious and debaucherous, with profound strength, certainly no worse than Qing Chengyue. Ye Tianchen knew that even if he made his move with all his might, he might not be able to kill this woman. The Ancient Martial Sect was truly unfathomable, and he still needed to enhance his realm to stand a chance.

Slap!

A palm strike came, and Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow, moving quickly backwards. The power of this palm strike was many times more powerful than the previous one, causing the entire ice cellar to tremble; the weaker ice walls all shattered explosively, revealing a terrifying force. Ye Tianchen quickly retreated with Dongfang Meng, moving at top speed, but the slender palm still closely followed. The dozens of meters thick ice walls they passed through couldn’t stop it for a moment, showing that Li Qiushui was indeed ready to take lethal action.

Ye Tianchen dared not take this palm head-on, as it was too powerful. Even though he had always focused on tempering his body, he still hadn’t reached the Martial Emperor’s realm of body, and to take it directly would certainly be fatal, with Dongfang Meng rushing the final gateway; their lives were at stake!
