Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 2147: Chapter 2145: No Match for This Drop of Blood

Boom!

Ye Tianchen unleashed the force of the ”Overlord Fist”, fiercely clashing with the blood-colored palm. Although he didn’t shatter it, he managed to slow down its crushing power, granting Ye Tianchen a chance to escape without being slammed directly by it!

However, as the blood-colored palm missed, Ye Tianchen was startled. Though he evaded its impact, when the palm struck the void, it obliterated it, collapsing it inward. It was so powerful that the void was immediately pulverized. Such strength explains why even Sang Hua elder couldn’t withstand it. If struck dead-on by this palm, survival would be impossible!

”Zi... Zi Xuan, you all must leave quickly, there won’t be time if you delay!” Sang Hua elder weakly urged Princess Zi Xuan.

”Second Master, Second Master, let’s go together, Zi Xuan will take you with me!” Princess Zi Xuan said sorrowfully.

”Zi Xuan, listen to Second Master. All of my essence, energy, and spirit have been absorbed by that drop of blood from the Peacock Great Bright King. Even if I leave here, I won’t survive. And now that this drop of blood has awakened, it won’t allow anyone to leave West State alive. It wants to bury this secret. You can’t die here!” Sang Hua elder stubbornly persisted with his last breath.

”Second Master!” Princess Zi Xuan cried out in pain, seeing the fading life force of the withered Sang Hua elder.

”Zi Xuan, from the moment you arrived at Flying Flower Zen Temple, your master and I knew you were our hope and a rare talent. You haven’t disappointed Second Master, being able to spar with me. This is my consolation before death. My downfall today is all due to my own mistakes, not to be blamed on anyone. Go!” Sang Hua elder spoke earnestly, not wanting Princess Zi Xuan to overthink.

”Second Master, after all these years apart, I never thought our reunion would be like this...” Princess Zi Xuan couldn’t hold back her tears, streaming down uncontrollably.

”Don’t cry, Zi Xuan. Even the most powerful martial artist faces death. If you can elevate the Flying Flower Zen Temple, achieve immortality, and step into the Immortal Domain, it will be thanks to Second Master’s teachings. That will make me very happy. Go quickly, the Peacock Great Bright King’s drop of blood is still refining all my essence, energy, and spirit. Once fully refined, it will grow even stronger. By then, you won’t be able to leave even if you wanted. Go now...” Sang Hua elder urged Princess Zi Xuan to leave.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The blood-colored palm relentlessly struck at Ye Tianchen. If it weren’t for his resistance with the ”Overlord Fist” and maneuvering with the ”Divine Movement Skill”, he might have died already. Not because Ye Tianchen lacked the power to resist, nor because he didn’t use other martial arts divine powers, but rather because he had no time. The palm’s power was too great and swift, forcing Ye Tianchen to continuously retreat. Managing to evade like this was quite a feat already. It was the first time he found himself so powerless, almost unable to fight back.

”Damn it, this Peacock Great Bright King is too strong! Just a single drop of blood left on Earth is so formidable, how astonishing!” Ye Tianchen thought bitterly to himself.

However, on further reflection, it made sense. The legend of the Peacock Great Bright King has never faded in the martial arts world, its power widely recognized. Remembering the fearless Peacock Great Bright King, a Demon Clan Heavenly King, its might was undeniable. Even after joining Buddhism, subdued by the Young Buddha, it was still powerful. The Buddhist Emperor said that with the Peacock Great Bright King protecting the Buddhist Sect, he was confident of its eternal existence!

The Peacock Great Bright King was a formidable Demon Clan strongman, reaching the Heavenly King Realm; it was rebellious even when the Young Buddha tried to subdue it, resulting in deadly skirmishes; and even after becoming a Buddhist, its vicious aura and slaughter aura were undiminished, daring to confront the Buddhist Emperor and slaughter far and wide...

The Peacock Great Bright King is ferocious, bloody, and violent, well-known with no exaggeration. Even leaving just one drop of blood, its power remains world-destroying. No one dares underestimate it!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen narrowly missed being slammed directly by the blood-colored palm, scowling at the near-miss. Despite having not been killed, this was not a sustainable plan. He clearly felt the blood-colored human shadow growing stronger. He must devise a way to leave, or both he and Princess Zi Xuan will perish here!

Swoosh!

While contemplating their escape, another palm surged from the blood-colored shadow, both palms striking at Ye Tianchen. Left with no options, Ye Tianchen gathered the power of the ”Overlord Fist” in both fists, launching a full-force attack. Upon contact with the two blood-colored palms, Ye Tianchen was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth!

”Are you alright?” Princess Zi Xuan asked with concern, seeing Ye Tianchen by her side.

”I’m not dead yet, but if we don’t leave now, we really will die!” Ye Tianchen said with a furrowed brow.

Elder Sang Hua looked weakly at Ye Tianchen, with a peculiar expression in his eyes, and said, ”You are so young, yet you possess such cultivation; you truly are a genius among the younger generation. However, with your current strength, you cannot withstand the power of this drop of essence blood from the Peacock Great Bright King!”

”Elder, you flatter me. We can’t just wait here to die; that is not my way!” Ye Tianchen said with a calm smile.

”There’s no chance of winning. Why not think about escaping? Leave here!” Elder Sang Hua said seriously.

”Second master, shall we leave together?” Princess Zi Xuan immediately said.

Elder Sang Hua looked at Princess Zi Xuan, then at Ye Tianchen, and smiled while saying, ”Alright, let’s leave together. Zi Xuan, do you see that small stone door ahead? Open it, and we can quickly leave this enormous Buddha statue. Go ahead, and let this boy carry me!”

”Second master...” Princess Zi Xuan paused, wanting to say something.

Rumble!

At this moment, the entire space inside the Buddha statue began to tremble. The void completely shattered, the force was astonishing, and looking up at the blood-colored human shadow in the high-altitude vessel, it kept growing as if about to mutate. Waves of sinister power surged out, incredibly strong, causing the void inside the Buddha statue to collapse!

”Listen to me, quickly open that small stone door; otherwise, we have no hope of escaping. This boy’s strength is greater than yours, he can hold them off for a moment. This is our only chance, quick!” Elder Sang Hua forcefully supported himself and spoke with his last breath.

Princess Zi Xuan hesitated for a moment, then dashed towards the small stone door not far away, using both palms to strike on it, while Ye Tianchen approached Elder Sang Hua, just intending to help Elder Sang Hua up and escape together, when Elder Sang Hua shook his head, looking at Ye Tianchen, and said:

”I can’t make it; even if I leave here, I will die. I might as well stay here. You and Zi Xuan go; I have one thing I want to ask of you...”

”Elder, we’ll escape together; Zi Xuan won’t stand by and watch you stay here!” Ye Tianchen quickly said.

”Zi Xuan is very talented, yet kind-hearted. That’s precisely the thing I want to ask of you; you and Zi Xuan are destined for each other, and I also know, you will surely achieve great things in the future. It’s just a shame I won’t see it myself, so I ask you to look after Zi Xuan!” Elder Sang Hua said with a smile.

”You really flatter me, Elder. I also believe that we can escape together, and once we’re out, you will surely recover!” Ye Tianchen said with some concern.

”Hehe, I understand destiny and won’t misjudge people. Just remember my words!” Elder Sang Hua said with a calm smile.

Boom!

Ye Tianchen still wanted to persuade Elder Sang Hua to leave with him and Princess Zi Xuan, but then a powerful force struck. That blood-colored human shadow in the vessel extended a giant beast claw, looking like a peacock’s, very astonishing, engulfing the entire Buddha statue interior, while the peacock feathers atop the blood-colored human shadow exuded a divine ferocity, feeling irresistible!

”Peacock Great Bright King, you are mighty, but just a drop of essence blood, you’ll never kill me!” Ye Tianchen spoke resolutely, with a strong aura.

No one expected!

Just as Ye Tianchen was about to make a move, Elder Sang Hua pushed him next to Princess Zi Xuan, who had just opened the small stone door. Elder Sang Hua then used another force to send Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan out of the Buddha statue interior, sparing them from being shock-killed by the gigantic peacock beast claw.

”Second master...” Princess Zi Xuan cried out loudly.

”Zi Xuan, this is the path second master chose himself; your path is still long, walk it well!” Elder Sang Hua spoke with a bitter smile, his figure submerged by the enormous peacock beast claw...(To be continued.
