Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 777: Chapter 776 [Indeed a bit difficult!]

[PS: Today’s second update is here. Seeking monthly tickets!!!]

”Then... then did you see if he dodged that sword?” Tianshuang also asked anxiously.

”He didn’t dodge it... but it seemed like he did...” Zhang Ruotong said, unsure of her own judgment.

”What do you mean it seemed like he dodged it, and then it seemed like he didn’t?” Tianshuang was stunned and asked, frowning her beautiful brows.

Zhang Ruotong glanced at Tianshuang, then stood up, walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked down at the Eight Diagrams pattern below, saying with some worry: ”All I saw was Tianchen covered in blood, his body riddled with holes, sustaining too many injuries, blood constantly flowing out, but he didn’t fall; he was still staring ahead with fiery eyes, still ready to fight with strong determination. But at that moment, a sharp sword pierced through the void, so fast it blurred, and slashed towards Tianchen’s head... and then...”

At this point, tears had already started flowing from Zhang Ruotong’s beautiful eyes. She was deeply in love with Ye Tianchen. For Ye Tianchen, she didn’t hesitate to give up what she had as a woman for the first time, and she even left a part of her powerful healing power within Ye Tianchen’s body, her feelings for Ye Tianchen were enough to move anyone.

”Then what happened?” Tianshuang pressed, anxious for an answer.

”Then... then a spray of blood burst out, and it was unclear whether that sharp sword had hit Tianchen... I really hope it didn’t, but... but with the severe injuries that Tianchen had, it was very difficult for him to dodge that fatal sword...” Zhang Ruotong couldn’t help but start to sob.

Tianshuang’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Zhang Ruotong’s words, and she also froze for a moment. Ever since Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng rescued her from the hands of the Blood Killing Organization, her relationship with Ye Tianchen had evolved from initial enemies, to friends, and finally to companions in life-and-death situations. Throughout their journey, if not for Ye Tianchen, she would have perished countless times. Although Tianchen might be oblivious to romance and insensitive to a woman’s heart, and sometimes unreliable, he was a man who stood tall and upright, a man with great aspirations and ambitions.

”It can’t be, this guy won’t have anything happen to him; his life is very tough. Even the grandmaster couldn’t calculate his Life Grid, saying that he is an anomaly between heaven and earth!” Tianshuang eventually forced herself to calm down, trying to reassure both Zhang Ruotong and herself.

”I hope so, I hope what I divined is all wrong...” Zhang Ruotong clenched her fists tightly as she spoke.

At this time, in the Songshan Sect’s cultivation grounds, only four figures remained battling fiercely; Qing Chengyue was fighting Du Wanli, Dongfang Meng was fighting Bei Wei, while the rest of the martial artists had already rushed out of the Songshan Sect, each departing on their own. Describing the Songshan Sect’s current tragic scene as ’rivers of blood’ wasn’t an exaggeration. Naturally, the most violent battle took place in the Ancient Battlefield floating high in the sky. The One Sword Taoist was fighting all alone, monopolizing the two great demons, Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi.

”Let’s use our full strength to break out of this Duster Killing Array, deal with the One Sword Taoist first, then we can cooperate with one another to control the entire Ancient Martial World, and use all martial artists to achieve our own goals. How about that?” Bei Lengshi glanced at Du Tianqi and asked.

”Agreed!”

After considering for a moment and seeing the Duster Killing Array tightening around them, Du Tianqi could not but agree. He hadn’t anticipated that the One Sword Taoist’s combat power would be so formidable; the strength of this one man was actually suppressing him and Bei Lengshi, two Martial Saint Realm powerhouses, and he even had extra strength to launch attacks. If things continued this way, both of them might be killed by the One Sword Taoist.

The One Sword Taoist was already standing outside the Duster Formation, his hands constantly changing seals, channeling streams of Martial Arts True Power to drive the entire Killing Array, shrinking it continuously, intending to grind Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi alive within it.

”Duster Killing Array, Vanquishing Pinnacles Demonic Divinity!” the One Sword Taoist shouted in a heavy voice as he pushed with both palms, infusing a surge of powerful Martial Arts True Power into the Killing Array.

Whosh... A tremendous noise like that of a world-shaking event resonated, and the entire Ancient Battlefield trembled as if it were about to collapse. With an ashen face, the One Sword Taoist watched the Duster Killing Array, knowing that this move had a mighty power and could possibly destroy the Ancient Battlefield. He had accidentally acquired this Ancient Battlefield and, after sacrificing it, he could summon it at will, so fighting within it wouldn’t harm other innocent people, locking up the powerful Martial Arts True Power. This was something he had prepared early on, a measure devised to exterminate demons that cause calamities in the world.

Inside the Duster Killing Array, Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi felt an instantaneous surge of Martial Arts True Power so formidable that even as strong as they were in the Martial Saint Realm, it sent a shock through their hearts and an instinctual sense of danger. Immediately, both of them levitated upwards, daring not to hold back any longer, and stimulated the Martial Arts True Power within their bodies to the pinnacle of their combat strength. One wielded the Black King Sword and the other the Shocking God Whip, both treasures of Martial Saint caliber passed down from their sects, their powers undoubtedly were no lesser than the horsetail whisk in the hands of the One Sword Taoist.

Boom!

Clang!

Clang!

Within the Duster Killing Array, the sounds of fighting broke out. Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi made their moves, both of them constantly dodging and swinging the Martial Saint Treasures in their hands. Within the Duster Formation, many streaks of sword radiance appeared. These streaks of radiance transformed from the strips of the horsetail whisk, incredibly powerful. It was unknown how the One Sword Taoist had refined them, but their might was so immense that even for powerful cultivators like Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi, it wasn’t possible to take them head-on.

”If this goes on, both of us will die here. Let’s join forces to destroy this Duster Killing Array and rush out to kill this old man,” Du Tianqi yelled at Bei Lengshi.

”Okay!” Bei Lengshi also knew that with his own strength alone, he couldn’t break through the Duster Formation. Moreover, if he tried to hold back his battle power, Du Tianqi would notice, and he too would die here. At this point, the battle strength of the One Sword Taoist completely exceeded their expectations. Only by cooperating with full force could they break out of the Duster Formation.

”Sword Intent Breaking Heaven!” Du Tianqi made his move, and the Black King Sword in his hand cleaved out a sword strike that shook the heavens and earth, with a might hundreds of times stronger than before.

”Whip Lashing the Heavenly Vault!” Bei Lengshi acted as well. His Shocking God Whip erupted with an unmatched Battle Intent. This time, he held nothing back, wielding the Shocking God Whip to strike at the center of the Duster Killing Array.

Boom!

The Ancient Battlefield exploded open, split in two. The One Sword Taoist’s horsetail whisk shattered into pieces. Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi burst out from the Duster Killing Array, their eyes filled with murderous intent. They felt humiliated and were utterly enraged. Although the One Sword Taoist was a revered senior in the Ancient Martial World, this was a world where strength reigned supreme. Both Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi were Warriors of the Martial Saint Realm, just like the One Sword Taoist. Yet they were blocked by a single person, which, to them, was the utmost humiliation. Now that they had broken out, they were determined to kill the One Sword Taoist.

”Elder Sword, you never expected your battle strength to be so immense. You’re nearly at the end of your days, and yet you still stand against us,” Du Tianqi said coldly, staring at the One Sword Taoist.

”One Sword Taoist, you’re ultimately only at the Martial Saint Realm’s cultivation level. Thinking you can kill me, Bei Lengshi, won’t be so easy. You alone cannot be the match for the two of us. Prepare to die!” Bei Lengshi said fiercely as well.

”Amitabha, Master Fang Zheng, when he was passing away, transmitted his Divine Thought to me. He said I must come to the Songshan Sect no matter what, I cannot let the two of you succeed. It seems I was right to come. Today, even if I, the One Sword Taoist, perish both in body and spirit, I will take the two of you with me,” the One Sword Taoist said, bringing his palms together.

”Then you may go on your way first!”

Du Tianqi made his move, wielding the Black King Sword to attack the One Sword Taoist. He cleaved out a huge streak of Sword Qi, as if tearing apart heaven and earth, aiming for the One Sword Taoist.

The One Sword Taoist frowned and could not help but feel alarmed. Earlier, he had used nearly half of his Martial Arts True Power to activate the Duster Killing Array, hoping to kill Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi, but their battle power exceeded his expectations. Furthermore, by joining forces, they broke through the Duster Killing Array. With this development, killing the two of them would not be easy.

Crack! Facing the shocking Sword Qi from Du Tianqi, the One Sword Taoist struck out with his palm. The surging power from his palm swept out to meet the Sword Qi from Du Tianqi, but just as he blocked the Sword Qi, a powerful finger strike aimed at the One Sword Taoist’s head was already on its way—Bei Lengshi had also made his move. The One Sword Taoist quickly dodged, his figure vanishing from the spot.

Thump!

A streak of Sword Qi and a finger strike destroyed a corner of the Ancient Battlefield. It should be noted that this Ancient Battlefield contained powerful formations left from ancient times. Even though they were fragmented, they were not something ordinary people could destroy. Yet the combined strike of Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi almost did just that. It seemed that killing the two by himself would be difficult.

”Hmph, Elder Sword, you’re at the same cultivation level as us. Do you really think you can kill the two of us on your own? Too naive!” Du Tianqi holding the Black King Sword scoffed.

”Master Fang Zheng is already dead, and Feng Qingyang, that old man, has most likely passed away as well. Of the three supreme strong beings of the Ancient Martial World, only you, One Sword Taoist, remain. Today, let me, Bei Lengshi, send you to your death. After that, no one in the entire Ancient Martial World will stand in my way!” Bei Lengshi’s Shocking God Whip was also surging with Martial Arts True Power, ready to strike with full force along with Du Tianqi to cut down the One Sword Taoist.
