Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1743: Chapter 1742: [See Through It, Destroy It!]

Bai Yi had no choice but to hand over the tattered sheepskin, it must be said that Bai Yi made a significant sacrifice for Qingxue. One must know, this sheepskin scroll contained an ancient divine art from the Demon Clan’s supreme Cultivation Treasure. If comprehended thoroughly and successfully cultivated, one could reach an unimaginable level of power. However, for Qingxue’s sake, and to ensure that Qingxue could live on, Bai Yi still handed the tattered sheepskin to the black-clothed man.

Of course, Bai Yi was no fool. He was aware that the black-clothed man was unlikely to keep his word and would certainly kill him and Qingxue to silence them. As for himself, Bai Yi wasn’t worried; his cultivation realm was such that he could match the black-clothed man in a battle. The danger lay with Qingxue; although she possessed an Early-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, she had no chance of fighting the black-clothed man fairly. Inside Qingxue’s Divine Thought, the black-clothed man had already planted an explosive rune. As soon as he activated his thoughts, Qingxue would face annihilation.

Yet, right when Bai Yi tossed the tattered sheepskin scroll to the black-clothed man, hoping to use the true divine art recorded in the Cultivation Treasure to distract him and escape with Qingxue, he didn’t expect the black-clothed man to have already set a trap, leaving them with no escape!

A powerful fire wall crashed toward Bai Yi and Qingxue, forcing them to retreat continuously. The fire wall’s strength was immense; facing it head-on meant either dire injury or death. Meanwhile, the black-clothed man, holding the tattered sheepskin in his left hand and runes swirling in his right palm, also walked toward Bai Yi and Qingxue step by step. His intentions were now clear: he intended to break his promise and kill them both right there!

”Are you planning to go back on your word?” Bai Yi asked coldly.

”Hmph, you must die. Even though I don’t get the actual Cultivation Treasure, I can’t let those old folks know that I took anything from you. It would bring a catastrophe upon me. So you must die!” the black-clothed man sneered.

”Killing to silence!” Bai Yi snapped.

”Interpret it however you like; you must die. And I’d advise you not to resist, or the person you love most will die before you,” the black-clothed man threatened Bai Yi.

”You...” Bai Yi paused, clenching his fists tightly.

”Go, don’t worry about me. With your combat power, you can break through or even kill him. Don’t let everything come to a standstill because of me; it’s not what I want to see!” Qingxue earnestly urged Bai Yi.

”But, watching you die would leave me regretful for life. Even if I achieve everything I want, I won’t be happy!” Bai Yi looked at Qingxue gently.

”Hmph, both must die, entwined in the Netherworld Hell!” the black-clothed man coldly said, raising his right hand. As runes swirled with overwhelming power, it was clear he intended to use Rune Power to kill Bai Yi and Qingxue.

Now the situation was quite clear, and the black-clothed man’s words were extremely threatening. He knew that if Bai Yi’s weakness was exploited, truth be told, within just a few years, Bai Yi had become a Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm warrior. It was truly unbelievable, especially when Bai Yi alone slew nearly a hundred Fox Clan and Wolf Clan warriors, among whom many were also Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm experts. This kind of achievement was neither to be underestimated nor ignored; even the black-clothed man wouldn’t dare easily approach Bai Yi. They were at the same cultivation realm, yet Bai Yi managed to kill Langtian, bringing no guarantee of victory. The black-clothed man was merely a dark-hearted individual!

Thus, the black-clothed man would threaten Bai Yi. Should Bai Yi dare to strike him, Qingxue would die first in front of his eyes. In essence, the black-clothed man was somewhat afraid of Bai Yi’s strength, fearing that Bai Yi truly was the Heaven-defying Son who could turn around and kill him.

Swoosh!

A series of runes transformed into a beam of light, slicing through the Void, and surged toward Bai Yi, extremely fast. Bai Yi paused, wanting to resist, but seeing the runes in the black-clothed man’s right palm, Bai Yi was taken aback. The black-clothed man was ruthless; should Bai Yi fight back, the black-clothed man would surely kill Qingxue. So, was he left with no choice but to wait for death?

Poof!

Blood splattered, and Bai Yi was stunned. He never expected Qingxue, at this crucial and life-threatening moment, to ignore everything and forcefully support herself, shielding him, allowing the sword-like rune to pierce through her chest!

”Xueer, Xueer...” Bai Yi shouted, holding Qingxue in his arms as tears involuntarily streamed down!

”Don’t cry; all these years, I’ve never seen you cry, even amidst the exhaustion and hardships of cultivation, when life felt worse than death. You’ve always been strong!” Qingxue said, looking at Bai Yi.

”But, I can’t live without you...” Bai Yi said, looking at Qingxue with tears he couldn’t hold back.

”No, without me, you will become stronger. Without me, you won’t face threats and can fulfill your desires!” Blood trickled from Qingxue’s mouth, and her injury was now too severe, nearing death.

”Xueer...” Bai Yi tightly clenched his fist, his fingertips turning white!

Boom!

The black-clothed man remained vicious, ignoring everything, charging toward Bai Yi. At this moment, Bai Yi was enraged; he truly had no reservations left. Since Qingxue was going to die, the only thought in his heart was ”kill!”

Whoosh!

Swish!

Shooting into the sky, Bai Yi wielded the Cheng Ying Sword, and a sword light fell down immediately. The man in black was shocked, he hadn’t expected Bai Yi to attack fiercely without hesitation. A powerful Sword Qi slashed at him. Although his cultivation realm was also high and he dodged quickly, he still got grazed by the Sword Qi, rendering his entire right arm useless!

”You... you dare to attack me, aren’t you afraid that Qingxue will be utterly destroyed?” The man in black asked through gritted teeth, somewhat surprised.

”Afraid? Of course, I’m afraid. I’m afraid the only person I love in this world will die. But what use is my fear? Will my fear stop her from dying? Will it stop you from killing her? If death is inevitable, then I cannot let you live!” Bai Yi yelled furiously, charging at the man in black with the Cheng Ying Sword!

”You little brat, even if we had a fair fight, you’d still lose to me. So arrogant!” The man in black frowned deeply. He hadn’t expected himself to fear Bai Yi to this extent—it was damaging to his pride.

The man in black also charged toward Bai Yi, enveloping him with a powerful Rune Net that tightened continuously, as if trying to refine Bai Yi alive within it!

”One Sword Extinguishes Heaven!”

Bai Yi shouted, the light of the Cheng Ying Sword in his hand shone brightly, and a sword light shattered the sky as it slashed toward the man in black. The man in black was astonished and swiftly used a shield formed from runes to block, but unfortunately, he couldn’t!

”No!” The man in black instinctively sensed his doom, he had underestimated Bai Yi’s strength, now he faced complete annihilation!

Pfft!

The man in black’s head was directly pierced by the sword light of the Cheng Ying Sword. He stared blankly at the scene, unable to believe that he would die at Bai Yi’s hands in such a manner. With his cultivation realm, he should have been capable of facing Bai Yi, and wouldn’t necessarily lose. But he had been careless, overly reliant on his threat against Bai Yi, not anticipating Bai Yi’s powerful attack.

”You...” The man in black looked at Bai Yi, his terrified eyes unable to form words!

”Die!” Bai Yi softly uttered the word, a slight movement of the Cheng Ying Sword in his right hand immediately annihilating the man in black.

Bai Yi hugged Qingxue, softly calling her name: ”Xueer, Xueer...”

”Cough, cough... Go, quickly go, the four old beasts from the Fox Clan and Wolf Clan won’t spare you, hurry up!” Qingxue coughed twice, blood at the corners of her mouth. This time, her injuries were too severe, her chest pierced through by a series of runes from the man in black, these destructive runes continually damaged Qingxue’s body.

”I’m not leaving, not running anymore, life or death, I want to be with you!” Bai Yi smiled at Qingxue as he spoke.

”But, you still have desires, you still have deep-seated grudges...” Qingxue looked at Bai Yi as she spoke.

”Enough, I’ve killed so many masters from the Fox Clan and Wolf Clan, even Langtian died by my hand. Revenge is enough, I don’t necessarily have to destroy the Fox Clan and Wolf Clan for it to count as revenge. Besides, I can’t just be consumed by revenge...” Bai Yi gazed lovingly at Qingxue.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the tattered parchment flew to Bai Yi, right above him. Bai Yi glanced at it and shook his head, saying: ”Years back, our White Rabbit Clan acquired this tattered parchment, which merely contained a Divine Art from a Cultivation Treasure of the Demon Clan. It led other Species in the Demon Clan to launch attacks, even resulted in the Fox Clan and Wolf Clan conspiring to wipe out our entire White Rabbit Clan. This thing is nothing but a curse, let me destroy it!”

As he spoke, Bai Yi slowly raised his right hand, imbued with Martial Arts True Power at his fingertips, instantly shooting toward the tattered parchment.

”Stop!”

An elder’s voice shouted, but it was too late to stop. Bai Yi’s finger force struck the tattered parchment, turning it into ashes...(To be continued.
