Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 2149: Chapter 2147: [I Did My Best, Is It Really Impossible?]

Pursued by the power of a single drop of blood!

For the first time, it was a matter of escape for Ye Tianchen!

However, he could not let himself die here, nor could he let Princess Zi Xuan die here. The drop of blood left by the Peacock Great Bright King within the Buddhist sect’s inheritance in Earth’s Forbidden Wilderness in the West State was too powerful, and Ye Tianchen could not defeat it at present. He had to protect himself while also protecting Princess Zi Xuan!

Originally, he thought that by relying on his physical body power and using the Divine Movement Skill to wander with Princess Zi Xuan across the West State, even the overwhelming and gigantic Peacock Beast Claw could not hurt them, allowing Princess Zi Xuan to activate the Transmission Array Compass to escape smoothly from the West State. Ye Tianchen did not expect a sudden change just as success was near!

A Buddhist Rune manifested, blocking Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan’s path, while behind them loomed the terrifying Peacock Beast Claw. It was a critical moment; if they couldn’t shatter the Buddhist Rune and break through instantly, both Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan would be in grave danger!

Overlord Fist!

Taie Sword!

A powerful Martial Arts Divine Power and a Divine Sword with boundless majestic power couldn’t penetrate this small Buddhist Rune. Ye Tianchen was incredibly surprised, realizing that this Buddhist Rune was not simple. The Peacock Great Bright King’s understanding of Buddhist heritage had reached a profound level, far surpassing ordinary Buddhist Runes!

Boom!

But the Peacock Beast Claw would not let them go, nor would it give them a moment’s respite. In an instant, it was upon them, overwhelmingly aggressive, not giving Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan any chance to breathe!

Ye Tianchen glanced at the Buddhist Rune, unable to think of a way to shatter it quickly, and said to Princess Zi Xuan: ”Focus on activating the Transmission Array Compass, and I’ll hold off the Peacock Beast Claw!”

”It’s too dangerous—can’t we break the Buddhist Rune together and escape first?” Princess Zi Xuan urged.

”There’s no time. This Buddhist Rune seems deliberately placed here. We’ve underestimated the drop of blood left by the Peacock Great Bright King. It’s not just a drop of blood but also contains a trace of the Great Bright King’s Divine Thought, possessing its own intelligence and combat strategy!” Ye Tianchen shook his head, saying.

”But...” Princess Zi Xuan wanted to persuade him further, as the Peacock Beast Claw was too terrifying. Its presence covered the heavens and the earth, controlling everything under its paw. The pressure was overwhelming, truly insurmountable. Princess Zi Xuan was worried that Ye Tianchen might be obliterated by the Peacock Beast Claw!

”There is no time for ’but’—activate the Transmission Array Compass! I’ll hold it off for a moment!” Ye Tianchen darted forward in a flash!

Princess Zi Xuan hesitated briefly but clenched her teeth. She knew that she needed to remain calm at this moment; panic would be detrimental. If she managed to activate the Transmission Array Compass quickly, they both might escape safely. If she delayed, both she and Ye Tianchen might face certain death, their souls dispersed!

Rumbling!

The Peacock Beast Claw was enormous, overshadowing the heavens, plunging the sky into darkness instantly, reaching over Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan. Yet Ye Tianchen surged upward, braving the formidable pressure of the Peacock Beast Claw, flying straight at it!

Overlord Fist!

Ye Tianchen’s fist struck up, and a flash-like punch hit the Peacock Beast Claw but failed to shake it. Meanwhile, the Peacock Beast Claw descended. Ye Tianchen frowned deeply and swung the ”Taie Sword” to charge ahead. Even if he couldn’t shatter the Peacock Beast Claw, he must slow its descent, buying Princess Zi Xuan more time!

Swish!

The majestic Sword Qi of the ”Taie Sword” slashed at the Peacock Beast Claw yet still couldn’t stop it. Ye Tianchen was prepared; if the Peacock Beast Claw were so easy to deal with, he and Princess Zi Xuan wouldn’t need to flee, and Elder Sang Hua wouldn’t have to sacrifice himself to let them escape!

Undeterred and without giving up, Ye Tianchen remained determined, calmly employing his Martial Arts Divine Skills:

Thunder Bow!

Golden Eyes!

Thunder Sky Fist!

Vajra Divine Fist!

Great Compassionate Thousand Leaf Hand!

Eight Diagrams Seal!

A series of Martial Arts Divine Skills was unleashed by Ye Tianchen without pause. Regardless of whether he could block the Peacock Beast Claw, he did not stop using his divine powers. As Ye Tianchen looked up, he saw that the Peacock Beast Claw had indeed suffered some damage, hovering in mid-air, with several claws shattered!

”I didn’t expect a small practitioner of the Human Clan to have such strength!” The voice of the blood-colored human shadow came out from the Peacock Beast Claw!

”I don’t think I will lose!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Indeed, you are one of the few young geniuses I’ve seen. It’s remarkable that someone like you could emerge from Earth, where cultivation resources have depleted to such an extent. You know many martial arts divine skills and are very fast. You will definitely achieve great things in the future, but unfortunately, you’ve encountered me, and you will inevitably be crushed!” the voice of the blood-colored human shadow said coldly.

”You’re too confident. If you’re capable, come and kill me!” Ye Tianchen said coldly.

”I’ll fulfill your wish!” Although the blood-colored human shadow was a bit surprised, he still didn’t regard Ye Tianchen with any importance. The Peacock Beast Claw emitted a beam of divine power, and the claw, which had been damaged by Ye Tianchen, was instantly restored to its original form, descending with even greater force and speed!

Ye Tianchen watched the fast-moving Peacock Beast Claw as it descended with such formidable power and looked at Princess Zi Xuan’s side, which seemed not yet prepared, thinking to himself, ”It seems I can only do this. Hopefully, I can hold out a little longer!”

Bang!

Without hesitation, Ye Tianchen clasped his hands together, urging the martial arts true qi within him, and in an instant spread both hands outward in all directions. In his right hand, the Taie Sword flew out first, followed closely by several beams of light bursting out.

In a flash!

Five beams of light shot up into the sky, and five distinct powerful forces scattered, causing the entire West State to tremble. Even the terrifying Peacock Beast Claw descending from the sky was affected, with a blocking force appearing!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five loud bangs, the five beams of light crashed onto the ground, all embedded into the ground, simultaneously unleashing five distinct forces into the sky!

All of them blasted toward the Peacock Beast Claw, forming five pillars like heavenly pillars to hold off the claw!

”Ancient Divine Swords, I didn’t expect you to have obtained five of them, truly a monstrous anomaly!” The voice of the blood-colored human shadow echoed in surprise!

”You’re strong, but you’re merely a drop of blood from the Peacock Great Bright King. I’m using five of the ten ancient divine swords to block this Peacock Beast Claw, should be enough, right?” Ye Tianchen said with a frown.

”That’s right, you’ve used five of the ten ancient divine swords to block my Peacock Beast Claw, it seems favorable. Unfortunately, in my view, you have not truly grasped the essence of these five divine swords, otherwise, even with their individual power, you’d have great strength!” The blood-colored human shadow said disdainfully.

Buzz!

The Peacock Beast Claw trembled, a Buddhist Rune instantly flowed around the claw, spinning continuously, exceedingly powerful, as if the runes were activated. Even Ye Tianchen frowned, admitting even if the Peacock Great Bright King practiced a fake path of Buddhism deviating from the true compassionate path of aiding all beings, he was indeed an extraordinary and brilliant personality!

Rumble!

The Peacock Beast Claw with powerful Buddhist Runes crushed down, relentlessly erasing the powers of the five ancient divine swords. Ye Tianchen shook all over, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, as controlling and unleashing the diverse divine powers from the five ancient divine swords was incredibly challenging!

Taie Sword, Majestic Power!

Fish Intestine Sword, Courageous Power!

Xuanyuan Sword, Holy Power!

Cheng Ying Sword, Graceful Power!

Zhanlu Sword, Benevolent Power!

The five different ancient divine swords, five distinct divine powers, became pillars of light, blasting towards the Peacock Beast Claw in the sky, forming five heavenly pillars to fend off the claw’s pressure!

However, the Peacock Beast Claw was immensely powerful, and the blood from the Peacock Great Bright King in the vessel wasn’t just a simple drop of blood; it fused with a part of its divine thought. Such a world-shattering tyrannical Demon King who once shook the Martial Arts World wasn’t easily contendable. The Buddhist Runes flowed, and the Peacock Beast Claw continued to descend with immense power.

As the blood-colored human shadow said, Ye Tianchen wasn’t proficient in controlling the five ancient divine swords, unable to unleash their true powers. Just commanding five ancient divine swords at once was exceedingly difficult. Facing such overwhelming power descending, Ye Tianchen’s mouth flowed with blood, as he had suffered severe internal injuries!

”Given your cultivation time and strength, to crudely control five ancient divine swords in one breath is already very impressive. I can admit you are a heaven-defying son, but unfortunately, I will never let you grow strong!” The blood-colored human shadow’s voice was ice-cold, without a hint of hesitation, as the Peacock Beast Claw forcefully smashed down...
