Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 778: Chapter 777 [A Thought Arises, Silencing Thousands of Chariots]

[PS: The first update today, wishing all brothers and sisters a Happy New Year and all the best!]

It has to be said, Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi, these two ruthless demons, were extremely potent in combat. Within the entire Ancient Martial World, there were no more than three people who could resist their schemes: Master Fang Zheng, Senior Feng Qingyang, and One Sword Taoist. However, Master Fang Zheng had already passed away in meditation, and Feng Qingyang’s whereabouts were unknown, leaving only One Sword Taoist, who was also a warrior of the Martial Saint Realm. For him to block or even kill two experts of the same Martial Saint Realm was extremely difficult.

Speaking of individual combat power, even though Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi were in the same Cultivation Realm as One Sword Taoist, One Sword Taoist had stood at the pinnacle of Martial Saint Realm for many years and had always been comprehending the Taoist Rhythm without any distractions. In a one-on-one situation, neither Du Tianqi nor Bei Lengshi could match him. However, when these two joined forces, One Sword Taoist found it somewhat tough to cope. After all, the cultivation at the Martial Saint Realm was no joking matter. If it weren’t for the powerful formation within the Ancient Battlefield that contained the scattering of Martial Arts True Power, probably all of Song Mountain and the Ancient Martial World would have turned to ash.

Being a powerhouse of the Martial Saint Realm, capable of moving mountains and splitting the earth, shattering the heavens with a palm wasn’t just a figure of speech. Fortunately, One Sword Taoist was prepared and lured Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi into the Ancient Battlefield. This place was protected by mysterious and complex Divine Runes and a powerful formation that could withstand even earth-shattering battles without letting the Martial Arts True Power harm any other place.

”One Sword Taoist, die!”

”Don’t think just because you’re old, you can block my path, Bei Lengshi. Anyone who dares block my way, even if it were my own father or son, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill.”

Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi, each wielding a Martial Saint Treasure, stepped towards One Sword Taoist. Both had struck with all their might just now, and although One Sword Taoist had dodged, it was clear that if the two of them attacked together, One Sword Taoist couldn’t directly withstand them; he could only engage in a fierce battle. It was only a matter of time before he would be killed by them, so now the two approached One Sword Taoist without any reservations.

Swish!

Hum!

A massive Sword Qi descended like it was cleaving the heavens apart; a huge golden whip also smashed towards One Sword Taoist’s head, as heavy as Mount Tai, as if the very heavens were collapsing.

One Sword Taoist quickly retreated, but as he did, Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi swiftly appeared behind him, unleashing yet another massive Sword Qi and a huge golden whip coming down fiercely from front and back, leaving no room for escape. One Sword Taoist was pushed to the brink of despair.

”One Sword Taoist, I think you’ll truly die this time!” Du Tianqi said with a cold smile.

”It’s a pity we won’t see the Taiji Divine Sword from Wudang. It’s a real shame. I heard that this Divine Sword Skill comes from an ancient heritage. Once mastered, a single sword strike can subdue the universe. I really feel it’s unfortunate!” Bei Lengshi said with confidence, bursting into laughter.

Boom!

Suddenly, in a seemingly inescapable situation, One Sword Taoist’s entire body shook, his hands quickly changing Sealing Skills, and a blood opening split open in his forehead. From this opening, a sword surged out. As it did, the whole Ancient Battlefield trembled, and the very heavens and earth seemed to change color, startling Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi into rapidly retreating.

”Taiji Divine Sword? It really is the Taiji Divine Sword...” Du Tianqi couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

”Legend has it that this is a sword that can rival the ancient ten Divine Swords. It truly is extraordinary...” Bei Lengshi also marveled.

Swish!

One Sword Taoist made his move, holding the Taiji Divine Sword, and struck not with a huge sword shadow or powerful Sword Qi, but with the pattern of Taiji Bagua, blocking the lethal moves unleashed by Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi. Simultaneously, One Sword Taoist’s Taoist robe fluttered, his hands gripping the Taiji Divine Sword, with specks of light blooming on the sword, instantly filling every corner of the Ancient Battlefield, causing both Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi to break out in a cold sweat.

”This is bad, we can’t let this old man make another move. He wants to destroy the entire Ancient Battlefield and take us down with him,” Du Tianqi suddenly realized something and exclaimed in shock.

”He’s trying to perish together with us. Use full force to kill him!” Bei Lengshi also said, sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, One Sword Taoist stood at the center of the Ancient Battlefield, holding the Taiji Divine Sword. He didn’t recklessly strike but instead, pointed the tip of the Taiji Divine Sword heavenward, continuously driving the Origin True Power within his body into the sword. Due to this, beams of Divine Radiance burst from the sword tip, filling every corner of the Ancient Battlefield, a terrifying spectacle.

One could imagine, when a whole world filled with the Martial Arts True Power deployed by one person comes into existence, how terrifying it would be. With just a single thought, this world could be destroyed, and everything within it would turn to nothing. The Divine Skill now unleashed by One Sword Taoist was just that. Once successful, not only the Ancient Battlefield would be destroyed, not only would Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi die, but One Sword Taoist himself would also vanish completely. This was an act of sacrificing oneself for righteousness, for the sake of all martial artists in the Ancient Martial World, sparing no expense even if it meant sacrificing his own life to eliminate Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi as the sacrificial lamb.

Whoosh! Du Tianqi appeared in front of One Sword Taoist, and his Black King Sword nearly slashed him from close range.

Whoosh! Bei Lengshi appeared behind One Sword Taoist, his Shocking God Whip surging with Martial Arts True Power, smashing down toward One Sword Taoist’s head with a whip.

This time, facing the Taiji Divine Sword summoned by One Sword Taoist and the terrifying Divine Arts he performed, Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi could no longer stay calm. They attacked madly, trying to stop the execution of One Sword Taoist’s Divine Arts.

”Taiji Divine Skill, controlling the Heavenly Vault, with a single thought, obliterate thousands!” Facing the Divine Sword slashing towards him and the Shocking God Whip falling, One Sword Taoist remained unmoved, continuously performing Sealing Skills with his hands, driving the powerful Martial Arts True Power, and activating his Absolute Skill Divine Arts.

Pop!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Waves of earth-shattering Martial Arts True Power spread out, impacting every corner of the Ancient Martial World. There were explosive sounds of destruction everywhere, and the Ancient Battlefield floating high in the sky also trembled incessantly, revealing countless fissures, nearly shattering. This strike shocked all the powerhouses in the Ancient Martial World, and even within the Sun Never Sets Mountain, powerful creatures were awakened, opening their cold eyes and looking toward the direction of the Songshan Sect.

Were it not for the sufficiently robust Divine Runes and strong Formation set up in the Ancient Battlefield, One Sword Taoist’s strike would have destroyed the entire Songshan Sect and most of the Ancient Martial World. Many places in the Ancient Martial World instantly turned into flat ground, reduced to nothingness. One can imagine how powerful the Divine Arts displayed by One Sword Taoist were.

Splurt!

Splurt!

Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi both lay on the ground, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, their eyes filled with murderous intent. They had just been swept away by the aftermath of the Divine Arts, thrown backward violently. Even though they weren’t dead, they had sustained serious injuries.

”One Sword Taoist actually has such powerful Divine Arts; that was too close!” Du Tianqi said fiercely.

”Had you and I not struck him almost simultaneously, it would have been you and me who died,” Bei Lengshi couldn’t help but say.

Originally, when One Sword Taoist was fully focused on performing this earth-shattering Divine Art, Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi noticed and quickly moved to stop him. At that time, One Sword Taoist was in a state of complete commitment to the spell, leaving no strength to fend off the attacks of these two demons. He was heavily wounded by their Martial Saint Treasures, which meant the Divine Art did not exert its maximum power. Otherwise, Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi would have been utterly obliterated.

”Don’t be careless; it seems that One Sword Elder is not yet dead,” Du Tianqi stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

”This old fellow’s life is truly long; let’s send him off together,” Bei Lengshi also stood up, coldly looking ahead.

Ahead, One Sword Taoist, covered in blood, was sitting cross-legged on the spot, apparently healing. He had not anticipated Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi’s actions to be so fast, hitting him just as he was about to succeed in deploying his Divine Arts, dispersing his Martial Arts True Power and only unleashing one-third of the Divine Arts’ power. Otherwise, Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi would have been utterly obliterated.

In front of One Sword Taoist, a Divine Sword still stood erect, thrust straight into the ground. This Taiji Divine Sword, which had been summoned earlier, had not been closely observed by Bei Lengshi and Du Tianqi. Now, upon closer inspection, both furrowed their brows. The only difference from an ordinary Flying Sword was that this Taiji Divine Sword was split into two halves; the upper half was white, and the lower half was black, representing Yin and Yang. It was incredibly mysterious and powerful, giving off an aura that discouraged anyone from approaching it lightly.

At this moment, One Sword Taoist, devoid of life, sat cross-legged in front of the Taiji Divine Sword, hands together, his breathing extremely weak. He had exhausted most of his Martial Arts True Power performing that Divine Art, and having been solidly injured by Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi, it was miraculous that One Sword Taoist hadn’t been obliterated on the spot.

”This old fellow no longer has the strength to fight; we should join forces and eliminate him,” Du Tianqi said to Bei Lengshi after giving him a look. (To be continued.
