Chapter 668: Chapter 667 [Despicable Villains of the Five Poison Sect]

[PS: Today’s first update. It’s the beginning of the month, asking for rewards and monthly tickets!]

Bang!

Dongfang Meng’s cultivation had greatly improved since she began cultivating the complete Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. Over the past few months, she had been reflecting upon it. Although the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture was profound and expansive, not something to be understood in a short time, Dongfang Meng had still grasped some of its essence, so her cultivation strength was incomparably improved. Although that vicious old fellow struck very quickly, landing a palm strike almost immediately, Dongfang Meng too managed to counter with her own palm.

In the contest of palms, Dongfang Meng was forced back three steps before she could stabilize her stance, while that suddenly attacking old fellow stood still in his original place, watching Dongfang Meng with a sinister smile and said, ”Not bad, not bad. To be able to handle a palm strike with fifty percent of my strength, it seems that Jing Ji that old fool didn’t accept you as a disciple in vain.”

”I have told you not to insult my master. Otherwise, I will not be polite!” Dongfang Meng tightly clenched her fists and said.

”Not polite? Little girl, you are far from ready. Don’t you know I could strike and kill you both right now?” the shameless old fellow said with a cold laugh.

Ye Tianchen stood by the side; he too hadn’t anticipated that the Ancient Martial World was so chaotic, far more than the Mortal World. Encountering strangers who hadn’t exchanged more than a few words before they started intense attacks, apparently with the intent to kill, it looked like he would have to be more cautious in the future.

Dongfang Meng glared fiercely at the old fellow in front of her. She indeed was at a disadvantage in that last palm strike. She hadn’t expected this old fellow to be so powerful. Even her palm, infused with the Inner Strength of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, couldn’t push him back even a step. If they truly started fighting here, it could be disadvantageous for both her and Ye Tianchen, and she was also in a rush to meet the highly respected Master Fang Zheng at the Shaolin Temple.

”Let’s go!” Dongfang Meng glanced at Ye Tianchen and took the lead walking ahead.

But just as Dongfang Meng had taken a few steps forward, the old fellow’s three young followers blocked the way in front of Dongfang Meng, all wearing lascivious smiles. Dongfang Meng coldly glared at the three and shouted, ”Get out of the way!”

At this shout, Dongfang Meng’s whole body shook, releasing the powerful Inner Strength of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, attempting to shake off the three younger cultivators. To her surprise, they still stood in front of her, unmoved, which indeed shocked her.

”Little girl, you think to use Inner Strength to shake off my disciples? I’m afraid you’re not strong enough yet. You’re free to go, but first, take a look at your right palm...” the old fellow said with a sneer.

Dongfang Meng frowned and looked at the palm of her right hand, startled for a moment. There was a blood-red line as thick as half a little finger that extended up to her elbow. It appeared she had been poisoned. When did that happen?

”When you clashed palms with me just now, I poisoned you. Did you really think our Five Poison Sect is so easy to provoke? You are the sole successor of the Ancient Tomb Sect; if you recite the spell from the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, I might consider sparing your life,” the old fellow said smugly.

”And if I don’t?” Dongfang Meng said resolutely.

”Elder Chen Du, why waste so much talk with this girl? Kill the man first, let us enjoy ourselves with her afterward. If she reveals the spell from the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, so be it. If she doesn’t, rape her and kill her!” one of the younger cultivators said with a lewd laugh.

It turned out that Dongfang Meng’s beauty had attracted these villains from the Five Poison Sect, especially this Elder Chen Du, who behaved disrespectfully despite his age. Seeing how resolute Dongfang Meng was, he didn’t spare Ye Tianchen a glance, treating him as if he were nothing, a waste not even worth the effort to kill. He approached Dongfang Meng and said, ”How about this, if you can withstand three palm strikes from me, I will spare you. How about that?”

When Ye Tianchen saw Elder Chen Du, with his disgraceful behavior, seemingly intending to harm Dongfang Meng, he prepared to intervene but was stopped by a look from Dongfang Meng. She then fiercely addressed Elder Chen Du saying, ”Our Ancient Tomb Sect has never had any grievances with your Five Poison Sect, but since you dare insult my master, even if you are a senior of the Ancient Martial World, I must still decide a victory or defeat with you!”

”Ha, a joke! How many times do you think someone from the other sects has dared stand against us? Be it with or without grievances, if you dare defy our Five Poison Sect, that’s a death wish!” another younger cultivator said arrogantly, pointing at Dongfang Meng.

”Are you implying that in this Grand Meeting of the Ancient Martial World, your Five Poison Sect is also eyeing the position of chairperson?” Dongfang Meng inquired speculatively.

”Absolutely; the position of chairperson will definitely be ours. Anyone who dares to compete with our Five Poison Sect is courting death!” said Chen Dust brazenly.

”I’m afraid your Five Poison Sect is not even a match for Bei Lengshi...” Dongfang Meng said with a cold smirk.

”Bei Lengshi? The Songshan Sect is far inferior to our Five Poison Sect. We, the Five Poison Sect, are an Ancient Martial Sect inherited from ancient times. As for the other sects, they simply lack the qualifications and strength to compete with us... Stop talking nonsense, and take my three moves...” Elder Chen Du shamelessly said. As a senior member of the Five Poison Sect, at least of elder status, he shamelessly attacked Dongfang Meng. It seemed that it was not only because of Dongfang Meng’s beauty but also because he wanted to obtain the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture from the Ancient Tomb Sect. Otherwise, he intended to kill Dongfang Meng to eliminate a sect that did not support the Five Poison Sect.

Slap!

Chen Du swiftly struck out a palm towards Dongfang Meng. This palm was more forceful than the previous one, causing Dongfang Meng to quickly step back several steps to dodge it. However, she still managed to strike a palm towards Chen Du’s head. Chen Du frowned, not expecting Dongfang Meng to possess such movement techniques. He quickly retreated, attacking Dongfang Meng with both palms. Dongfang Meng, unable to dodge in time, elegantly struck out with two palms.

Bang!

Bang!

Dongfang Meng stepped back two steps, forcibly suppressing the fresh blood rising in her heart, preventing it from spewing out. Her combat ability was still somewhat inferior to Chen Du. Being able to exchange moves like this with Chen Du greatly alarmed him. He resolved in his heart that no matter whether Dongfang Meng submitted or not, he had to kill her. Otherwise, once she grew stronger, the consequences would be unimaginable. The ”Jade Maiden Heart Scripture” of the Ancient Tomb Sect was already extremely powerful. Fortunately, Dongfang Meng had not yet fully mastered it. Otherwise, Chen Du might not have been her match.

”The Jade Maiden Palm Skill is indeed impressive, but unfortunately, you have not mastered it fully, failing to grasp its essence. In the next palm, I will use the Five Poison Palm of our Five Poison Sect. Whoever is struck by this palm will have their blood vessels burst and die...”

Chen Du was ruthless and brutal. Initially, he brought along three disciples of the Five Poison Sect. After noticing Dongfang Meng’s beauty, he wanted to molest her, and now learning that Dongfang Meng was a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect and craving the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, he would not let her go no matter what. As for Ye Tianchen, who stood to one side, Chen Du completely disregarded him, not believing Ye Tianchen could do anything significant. If he wished, he could kill him with just one palm.

Whoosh!

A palm came, and in the center of Chen Du’s right palm emerged a black energy mass, faintly taking the forms of a snake and centipede. The Five Poison Sect was known for its use of poisons, and every disciple interacted daily with venomous creatures and poisonous gases. In the Ancient Martial World, when fighting someone from the Five Poison Sect, no one dared to be careless, for they had to guard not only against the enemy’s formidable abilities but also against their use of poisons. Poison from the Five Poison Sect was incredibly difficult to defend against. Dongfang Meng was unexpectedly poisoned by Chen Du.

This palm strike, imbued with the Five Poison Sect’s Five Poison Palm, was a very poisonous technique. The method of practicing it was also extremely ruthless and heart-stopping, requiring practitioners to soak their hands in a mixture of various poisonous creatures and bloody water every day. Observing live poisonous creatures crawl onto their hands and even bite them, they must endure the excruciating pain, showing a degree of cruelty and ruthlessness.

Bang!

At the critical moment, Ye Tianchen made his move. Dongfang Meng, who had previously been sneak attacked by Chen Du, had already been severely poisoned on the palm of her right hand, rendering her unable to unleash her full power. Now being struck by Chen Du caused her blood to surge violently. If this continued, she literally could die.

This time, Ye Tianchen did not use any superpower or absolute skill but instead used the ”Heavenly Shocking Palm” he learned from Qing Chengyue. With one palm strike, he met Chen Du’s attack and remained unmoved at his original position, while Chen Du was pushed back two steps, looking at Ye Tianchen in utter astonishment, likely never having imagined that the seemingly not-so-powerful young man beside him could possess such formidable strength.

Swish, swish, swish!

The three confident young cultivators standing behind Chen Du, not expecting their Elder Chen Du to be at a disadvantage, immediately drew their swords and charged towards Ye Tianchen with great speed, each emitting a swirl of black Sword Qi that seemed incredibly poisonous.

”Scram!”

Ye Tianchen faced the three charging young cultivators from the Five Poison Sect and, just like Dongfang Meng earlier, shouted loudly. The three cultivators, completely dismissive at first, froze in place with their longswords raised upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s explosive yell.

Elder Chen Du was shocked and quickly advanced, barking at the three disciples, ”What are you waiting for? Get moving!”

Splutter! Splutter! Splutter!

Blood spurted from the mouths of the three young cultivators, and all three collapsed face down to the ground, startling Chen Du, who hastily retreated a few steps, looking at the smiling young man in front of him—Ye Tianchen!
