Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 958: Chapter 957 [Unfortunately, It’s Me Ye Tianchen]

Bai Yanwu never dreamed that just when he slaughtered the entire Zhantai family, leaving only the family head and his daughter, and could easily kill them, someone would step in to save the pair. If it were anyone else from the Zhantai family, it would have been no surprise. What shocked Bai Yanwu was that this person was Yin Dao, who had been accompanying him to the Zhantai family, his partner!

Yin Dao suddenly stood in front of Bai Yanwu, preventing him from attacking the family head and his daughter. Moreover, the strength Yin Dao displayed was no longer at the Late Martial Venerate cultivation realm but, like Bai Yanwu, possessed the power of the Martial Saint realm. Bai Yanwu found this unbelievable and was extremely surprised. What did Yin Dao mean by this? How did his strength and cultivation suddenly reach the Martial Saint realm? Could it be that he had been hiding his strength all this time? If so, it’s truly terrifying—not because Yin Dao is fearsome, but because the depth of the Blood Killing Organization is terrifying. Their top seed assassins already possess the strength of the Martial Saint realm, so how terrifying would the organization’s veteran assassins be?

In a single confrontation, Bai Yanwu and Yin Dao both stood unmoving; they tied. Bai Yanwu suddenly felt something amiss. He didn’t believe the person in front of him was Yin Dao; he preferred to think it was a powerful person disguised as Yin Dao. However, this Disguise Skill was so strong that he couldn’t see through it.

”You’re not Yin Dao. Who exactly are you, and which sect do you come from?” Bai Yanwu asked Ye Tianchen coldly.

”Old man, you have no business here. I don’t want to kill you yet. Leave now. When I have time, I’ll come to kill you personally!” Ye Tianchen spoke arrogantly, deliberately trying to provoke Bai Yanwu.

According to Ye Tianchen’s battle experience, the stronger a person is, the calmer their temperament, making it hard to shake their Divine. Thus, they can exert their full combat power, which is terrifying. In a real high-level duel, it’s not uncommon to see battles shaking heaven and earth, lasting days and nights without a winner. But more often, the decision is made in one move, not more than ten moves. In a duel between masters, life and death can be decided in an instant. Ye Tianchen wanted to disrupt the old man’s temperament to gain some advantage in the forthcoming battle—this was a tactical application of his combat experience.

”You... you have strong power, and like me, you’re a master of the Martial Saint realm. However, whether you can defeat me remains unknown. The fragment of the Ancient Transmission Array is something I must obtain. Cooperating with me is your best option; otherwise, I won’t let you leave.” Bai Yanwu, despite his surprise, clenched his fist and said.

The Ancient Transmission Array is the only way for these martial artists on Earth to leave for other Star Domains. The three fragments of the Ancient Transmission Array have been sought by countless strong individuals, powerful sects, and cultivation families from ancient times to now. All want to use the Transmission Array to go outside the domain, to enter this true Martial Arts Great World. Earth is no longer suitable for cultivation. Martial artists on Earth are like frogs at the bottom of a well, unable to break through the cultivation realm and unable to find Divine Medicine for life extension. Development on Earth pales compared to the thrill of contending in the Martial Arts Great World.

Bai Yanwu has lived for over a thousand years, which is remarkable in the Ancient Martial World. However, he knows himself very well. He understands that he is near the end of his strength, possibly reaching exhaustion and death in a few decades or even years. At that time, he will enter the Transformation Magic Law, powerless to resist, just as even a Supreme Emperor can’t evade the ravages of time, turning to dust—how could he? Therefore, using the Transmission Array to leave Earth and enter the Martial Arts World for a true heaven-defying struggle is Bai Yanwu’s only way out.

”Old man, don’t blame me for being impolite if you don’t leave when given a chance. Take this!”

Ye Tianchen shouted fiercely, his momentum overwhelming, and punched toward Bai Yanwu. Bai Yanwu furrowed his brows; the same move couldn’t possibly defeat him. With a cold smile, he also launched a palm strike to dissolve Ye Tianchen’s punch. However, as Bai Yanwu launched his palm, countless punching forces descended. The punch Ye Tianchen delivered turned into innumerable punch forces, powerful and overwhelming, tearing through the air and descending upon Bai Yanwu, who was momentarily stunned by the unexpected scene.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Countless punch forces rained down, engulfing the vicious old Bai Yanwu in a storm of punches. Ye Tianchen watched coldly, not daring to be careless. Bai Yanwu was the top Loose Cultivator of the Ancient Martial World, standing at the Martial Saint realm for many years with a very firm cultivation realm. Although Ye Tianchen had reached the Early-stage Martial Saint realm, it had only been three months since then. During these three months, Ye Tianchen had gained much, continuously comprehending the Martial Arts True Qi cultivation methods from the Yijin Jing in the ’Protector Vajra Array,’ and understanding some Martial Arts Divine Arts, making significant progress.

After a burst of punch forces, a strong murderous intent surged out. Ye Tianchen frowned; indeed, Bai Yanwu, this vicious old man, was powerful and had not been defeated by this Martial Arts Divine Skill.

Bai Yanwu emerged, walking out from the storm of punches, looking coldly at Ye Tianchen with eyes full of murder, but he didn’t immediately attack. He glanced at the small tear on the Taoist robe on his left shoulder, wanting to tear Ye Tianchen into pieces, yet filled with surprise. He hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to be so powerful, nor had he seen such a Martial Arts Divine Skill before.

”What kind of Martial Arts Divine Skill is this? It’s strange!” Bai Yanwu couldn’t help but ask.

”Would I tell you? Old man, if you don’t leave, you’re courting death.” Ye Tianchen continued to act arrogantly.

The Martial Arts Divine Skill Ye Tianchen used was indeed his first time employing it. This usage was something he had recently understood, using an alternate method to present it. He used the punch of the Overlord Fist, but with the Martial Arts Divine Skill of the Great Compassionate Thousand Leaf Hand. This was different power and a different Martial Arts Divine Skill, resulting in a scene that surprised even Bai Yanwu. For a master like him, getting hit, or even having his sleeve cut by Martial Arts True Qi, was horrifying. After all, who could touch the sleeve of a Supreme Emperor?

”Taoist, our strengths are equivalent. Since you’re also interested in the fragment of the Ancient Transmission Array, why don’t we cooperate? With our strengths combined, we could quickly gather the three fragments and then enter the true Martial Arts World for contention. What do you say? Also, Taoist, I suspect you’re an elder hidden within some great sect or cultivation family, both peers of strength, and should understand.” Bai Yanwu said.

Bai Yanwu was not saying this out of fear, but he also wanted to leverage Ye Tianchen’s strength. Sometimes, using someone’s strength to achieve one’s own goals is far more useful than killing them.

Moreover, Bai Yanwu speculated that the person in front of him was not Yin Dao but a hidden expert of some sect or cultivation family in the Ancient Martial World, possibly an old expert who’s been in secluded cultivation. Otherwise, based on cultivation realm, battle strength, and the use of Martial Arts Divine Arts, it would be impossible to be so formidable. If it were anyone else, he couldn’t not know or fail to recognize them.

”It’s a pity. I am someone you desire to meet and someone you loathe to see. Look...”

Ye Tianchen understood clearly that Bai Yanwu was exceptionally vicious. Even if he matched him in battle, the old man wouldn’t fear or retreat. A mortal battle between them was inevitable. Despite wanting to save the father and daughter of the Zhantai family, Ye Tianchen had his own reliance. However, considering Bai Yanwu’s viciousness, this reliance might not be of much use.

Buzz!

The Bone Transformation Skill was undone, revealing Ye Tianchen’s true face before Bai Yanwu, who, upon seeing him, was shocked and couldn’t believe it. At the same time, he was filled with hatred, unable to believe that Ye Tianchen had become so strong, possessing a Martial Saint realm cultivation, capable of contesting with him. In just this short time, he himself had lived over a thousand years to reach this cultivation realm and could dominate the three major Ancient Martial Worlds. Ye Tianchen, being only in his twenties, reaching the Martial Saint realm, was he a monstrous talent defying the heavens or a peerless genius?

”You... brat, it’s you?” Bai Yanwu came to his senses, glaring at Ye Tianchen.

”You are... is it you?” The woman standing behind Ye Tianchen also looked at him in surprise.

”What? Do you think if it weren’t me, someone else would save you? I never thought after meeting at the Luo family, our second meeting would be here, knowing the Zhantai family has the third fragment of the Ancient Transmission Array.” Ye Tianchen smiled; there were things even he hadn’t anticipated.
