Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 2207: Chapter 2205: [When Retreat Is Not an Option]

Elder Sanxu agreed!

The Northern Tyrant agreed as well!

Sang Qing’s obsession and tenacity won Flying Flower Zen Temple a sliver of hope!

Perhaps even so, the inheritance of Flying Flower Zen Temple still cannot be preserved, because after Sang Qing sits in death, Flying Flower Zen Temple will have no powerful Martial Artist to shelter it. Even if Elder Sanxu and the Northern Tyrant don’t take action, the other inheritances will definitely not sit by. Not to mention that the cultivation skills of Flying Flower Zen Temple are something many people want to obtain and to study—just the mystical and powerful effects of that Immortal Origin Liquid alone are enough reason for many to make a move against Flying Flower Zen Temple!

In the Northern Tyrant’s eyes, Sang Qing now was nothing more than an exhausted crossbow, simply unable to let go of her own obsession. According to what he, the Northern Tyrant, knew, the four strongest Martial Artists of the younger generation in the Northern State Territory—Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, Dao Yu, and Bai Wuji—had already gone to Flying Flower Zen Temple. With the power of these four Heaven-defying Sons, Flying Flower Zen Temple was most likely already wiped out. Princess Zi Xuan’s talent was not low either, but compared to those four bastards, she was still a tiny bit inferior—this was a fact!

In reality, if Flying Flower Zen Temple still had a strong expert guarding it, still had some Heaven-defying rising genius, then Sang Qing would not cling to this obsession so hard, blocking Elder Sanxu and the Northern Tyrant, forcing them to promise that after she sits in death they must not make a move against her Flying Flower Zen Temple!

”Heh heh, since when did your Flying Flower Zen Temple start taking male disciples? This breaks the rules passed down through all the generations!” The Northern Tyrant glanced at Ye Tianchen and asked with a faint smile.

”Times are changing. Some old rules must be broken—without breaking them, there is no progress.” Sang Qing said evenly.

”Young man, did you just come from Flying Flower Zen Temple?” Elder Sanxu’s gaze grew strange as he looked at Ye Tianchen, and he couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

”Yes.” Ye Tianchen replied.

”Flying Flower Zen Temple has already been destroyed?” The Northern Tyrant couldn’t help hurrying to ask.

”No.” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Not destroyed? Then those four from Sword Control...” The Northern Tyrant was shocked, frowned, and continued to ask.

”Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, and Dao Yu were all defeated by me. They were rescued and taken away by their respective inheritances. As for Bai Wuji, I killed him so that both body and soul were annihilated.” Ye Tianchen said in an extremely indifferent tone.

”What? You... heh heh, young man, your tone is a bit too big. You should know what kind of consequences there are for boasting in front of us!” The Northern Tyrant exclaimed in surprise, clearly not believing him.

When Ye Tianchen said this, not to mention the Northern Tyrant’s disbelief, even Elder Sanxu was puzzled, and Sang Qing herself was somewhat shocked. True, in this world there is always someone beyond someone, and a sky beyond the sky. Although those four from Sword Control are the strongest of the younger generation in the Northern State Territory, it doesn’t mean that no one can defeat them, nor does it mean that they are absolutely the most powerful among peer cultivators. However, to say that Ye Tianchen, with the strength of one person, defeated all four of them, and even killed Bai Wuji—that was truly hard to believe. Could it be that Ye Tianchen is really this Heaven-defying, a monstrous standout among these genius cultivators of the same generation?

”Master, it’s true. This guy is really terrifyingly strong!” Princess Zi Xuan looked at Ye Tianchen with an expression full of worship as she spoke.

Sang Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with approval, ”In that case, my Flying Flower Zen Temple is saved. I won’t be polite about entrusting Flying Flower Zen Temple to you.”

”Senior, you flatter me. As long as I, Ye Tianchen, am alive, I will definitely protect Flying Flower Zen Temple, because if it weren’t for you, I would have already lost my life.” Ye Tianchen said modestly.

Boom!

All of a sudden, a surge of killing intent rose up at the side. This killing intent was extremely powerful, causing the entire Formation to tremble, showing signs of collapse. Ye Tianchen frowned, because this killing intent was directed straight at him—he could feel it clearly. He couldn’t help looking to the side, only to see that the Northern Tyrant already had a look of wanting to strike at him. This made Ye Tianchen rather displeased!

Boom!

Ye Tianchen likewise did not show weakness. In such a situation, showing weakness was equivalent to being killed, equivalent to ending with body and soul annihilated. No matter who the opponent was, Ye Tianchen would not retreat. He could feel clearly that Elder Sanxu present, as well as this Northern Tyrant, were incomparably powerful, even unfathomable. Anyone Sang Qing would negotiate with could not possibly be weak!

Thump-thump!

The two waves of killing intent crashed into one another, actually resulting in an evenly matched stalemate, startling the Northern Tyrant so much that he furrowed his brows. He knew that he was much older than Ye Tianchen, and his cultivation realm was also a whole level higher. Perhaps he, the Northern Tyrant, was not the strongest person in the Northern State Territory, but he could battle anyone, had the strength to fight anyone, including Sang Qing and Elder Sanxu—he, the Northern Tyrant, had never feared them. Yet Ye Tianchen was merely a young junior, and still he could contend with him. This truly shocked the Northern Tyrant, and also made him feel that this young man before him was really something of a monstrous Demon!

”Sang Qing, is this the young powerhouse you said is even more outstanding than those four under Yu Jianzi? Someone who can fight me, the Northern Tyrant?” The Northern Tyrant looked at Sang Qing coldly, smiling as he asked.

”That’s right, his name is Ye Tianchen!” Sang Qing said in a deep voice.

”Ye Tianchen? Heh, the name does sound domineering, I just don’t know if his strength is worthy of that name!” The Northern Tyrant glanced at Ye Tianchen with disdain and said.

”So you’re planning to make a move against a junior? That would be beneath your status!” Sang Qing looked coldly at the Northern Tyrant and said.

”You’re wrong. What I promised you was that after you sit in meditation and pass, I won’t touch your Flying Flower Zen Temple. I, the Northern Tyrant, have always kept my word, and I also said just now that I really want to see this kind of young man. He isn’t a disciple of your Flying Flower Zen Temple, you’re meddling a bit too much!” The Northern Tyrant looked at Sang Qing, somewhat displeased, and said.

”He may not be a disciple of my Flying Flower Zen Temple, but he’s already engaged to Zi Xuan, so he counts as one of our people. If you make a move on him, you’re making a move on my Flying Flower Zen Temple. Do you think I’ll just stand by and watch?” Sang Qing asked, without retreating a single step.

”Hmph, the fact that I agreed not to touch the Flying Flower Zen Temple is already giving you a lot of face. Don’t really think I, the Northern Tyrant, am easy to bully. To fight you, I’m not afraid!” The Northern Tyrant snorted coldly.

”And do you think I’m afraid? I’m a man on the verge of death—do you think I’d fear one last battle? It’s just right to use combat to end my life. As a Martial Artist, to just sit in meditation and pass away so bland and dull... that really isn’t much of a way to go!” Sang Qing shook his head and said with a smile.

The Northern Tyrant frowned. He himself was an extremely forceful person, yet he hadn’t expected that after coming here today, he’d be suppressed by Sang Qing again and again, threatened by a dying man. He was definitely harboring some anger in his heart. More importantly, Ye Tianchen’s appearance made the Northern Tyrant feel he’d lost face. He was one of the three strongest in the Northern State Territory; even Elder Sanxu and Sang Qing didn’t dare act against him lightly. Yet this Ye Tianchen seemed utterly unafraid of him. When the Northern Tyrant released his killing intent, Ye Tianchen actually dared release his own killing intent to confront him. That made the Northern Tyrant feel his authority was being challenged, and stirred up a surge of impulse to kill Ye Tianchen!

”Northern Tyrant, this kid indeed has great potential, but he’s still a junior. If you fight him like this, it’s a bit of using big to bully small. In future, it won’t sound good for your reputation in the Martial Arts World!” Elder Sanxu spoke up from the side.

”Hmph, I, the Northern Tyrant, have always acted openly and uprightly, daring to do and daring to take responsibility. This brat dared to oppose me with killing intent—that’s already offending me. I’m going to teach him a lesson!” The Northern Tyrant snorted with disdain.

”Teach him a lesson if you must, but if you forcibly suppress him with a higher realm, you’ll end up giving people something to talk about, no?” Elder Sanxu asked with a smile.

”Fine, then I’ll fight him with a Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm as well. If he’s defeated by me, then whether I kill or flay him will be up to me!” The Northern Tyrant shouted confidently.

”And if you lose?” Ye Tianchen looked coldly at the Northern Tyrant and asked.

”Hahahaha, what a joke. How could I possibly lose? You really think too highly of yourself!” The Northern Tyrant laughed loudly, clearly not putting Ye Tianchen in his eyes at all.

”That’s not certain.” Ye Tianchen locked his gaze on the Northern Tyrant’s eyes and said.

”If I lose, I’ll also let you dispose of me as you please, how about that? I just don’t think you have that kind of ability!” The Northern Tyrant gave Ye Tianchen a cold glance and said.

”No need. If you lose, you’ll join me in sheltering the Flying Flower Zen Temple, how about it?” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment, then asked with a smile.

”Hm? Fine!” The Northern Tyrant agreed loudly.

Things developing to this point was something no one had expected. But for Ye Tianchen’s side, they had no choice and could not back down. If they retreated, the Northern Tyrant would only grow more arrogant and overbearing, more rampant and untouchable. He’d even treat the promise he made to Sang Qing earlier as nothing but hot air. Only when your strength makes the other party fear you is there any real guarantee; everything else is unreliable nonsense!

Elder Sanxu flashed and soared into the high sky, as though he were detached from everything. This was a fathomless old fellow; no one knew what he was thinking. The Northern Tyrant, meanwhile, stood where he was with arrogant confidence, as if waiting for Ye Tianchen to make a move!

”Your injuries?” Princess Zi Xuan asked worriedly.

”It’s fine, they’ve already healed somewhat. And at a time like this, there is no other choice—we have to fight him!” Ye Tianchen said, his eyes firm.

Sang Qing gave Ye Tianchen a look, then said, ”You don’t need to clash with him head-on. With your potential, you’re invincible at the same cultivation realm. I’ll be watching from the side and I won’t let the Northern Tyrant pull any despicable tricks in the dark.”

”Senior, what I’m worried about is your condition...” Ye Tianchen said, somewhat hesitating.
