Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 2209: Chapter 2207: [It’s Really Tough!]

[The second update for today is here. Let me share some good news with everyone: the film rights for ”Super Soldier” have been sold, and the web series and movie will be released within two years!]

The battle between Ye Tianchen and the Northern Tyrant isn’t just a simple fight!

The outcome of their clash is crucial. If Ye Tianchen wins, the Northern Tyrant naturally won’t dare to underestimate his strength and, consequently, won’t dare to belittle the Flying Flower Zen Temple, including other legacies within the Northern State Territory. If he plans to act against the Flying Flower Zen Temple, he would have to consider Ye Tianchen’s power. If the Northern Tyrant wins, he certainly won’t pay any mind to Ye Tianchen, especially after Sang Qing’s demise. Ye Tianchen will be in danger, the Princess Zi Xuan will be in danger, and even the Flying Flower Zen Temple will be in jeopardy. Other legacies in the Northern State Territory will become reckless because the Flying Flower Zen Temple no longer has a strong protector, leading to its inevitable destruction!

In Ye Tianchen’s view, until his battle with the Northern Tyrant has a clear victor, Sang Qing cannot pass away. Once Sang Qing is gone, even if he beats the Northern Tyrant, he surely lacks the confidence to face Elder Sanxu. With Sang Qing around, there is a deterrence factor!

Boom!

Once again clashing forcefully, Ye Tianchen stepped back a few paces, and his eyes were filled with surprise. He truly did not expect, even when the Northern Tyrant had suppressed his cultivation realm to a Mid-stage Martial Saint, he would still be so powerful. His cultivation realm is Mid-stage Martial Saint now, yet his combat strength far exceeds that realm. No wonder the Northern Tyrant could be so confident; once he was also invincible at the same cultivation realm, defeating all martial artists of the younger generation in the Northern State Territory during his era, becoming the number one young strongman of the Northern State Territory, thus earning his current status!

Two powerful palm strikes came forth, Ye Tianchen couldn’t withstand them and was forced backward repeatedly, nearly getting hurt. This has made him realize that even though the Northern Tyrant suppressed his cultivation realm, he still possesses combat strength beyond the Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm, making Ye Tianchen feel slightly challenging to handle!

Ye Tianchen, in fact, also possesses invincible battle strength at the same cultivation realm, this is his heaven-defying posture. However, he firstly battled Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, Dao Yu, Bai Wuji, almost fully unleashing his combat power, even exploding his potential. Now, the martial arts true qi within his body is scarce, injuries haven’t healed, and it’s challenging to exhibit combat power beyond the same cultivation realm, even if unleashed, it would greatly harm himself!

The Northern Tyrant’s two consecutive palm forces, while unable to strike Ye Tianchen successfully, anyone could see that Ye Tianchen was somewhat overwhelmed by the Northern Tyrant, as the two palm forces came bombarding, Ye Tianchen dodged back rather than forcibly retaliate, signifying his combat strength was somewhat wanting!

”Disappointed, truly making me too disappointed. Initially thought you were so arrogant, truly possessing outstanding potential, but didn’t expect you only knew how to boast. Without almost exerting any divine skill, I can defeat you, maybe even kill you!” The Northern Tyrant laughed indifferently, looking at Ye Tianchen mockingly as he spoke.

Ye Tianchen glanced coldly at the Northern Tyrant, standing mid-air, he slowly stimulated the martial arts true qi within, intending to force out his potential to fight the Northern Tyrant. He already perceived that he must unleash the invincible combat power at the same cultivation realm, otherwise, there is no chance of victory whatsoever. But when Ye Tianchen sensed the martial arts true qi within his dantian, he couldn’t help but frown, as he felt the true qi was very thin, hard to sustain unleashing the invincible combat power of the same cultivation realm, how then could he defeat the Northern Tyrant? Is it only going to end in defeat? Or await death?

”Master, he...” Princess Zi Xuan watching this scene couldn’t help but worry; anyone could see, the battle between Ye Tianchen and the Northern Tyrant just began, yet Ye Tianchen was already at a disadvantage!

”He has serious injuries inside and is difficult to truly exert real combat strength!” Sang Qing nodded and said.

”If that’s the case, the Northern Tyrant will certainly kill him!” Princess Zi Xuan said anxiously.

”Let’s wait and see, if he can’t hold on, maybe it truly signifies the end of our Flying Flower Zen Temple’s fate!” Sang Qing spoke somewhat regretfully.

”Master...” Princess Zi Xuan started to speak but hesitated.

”Zi Xuan, if Ye Tianchen loses, I’ll do my utmost to rescue him, and use my last strength to block Elder Sanxu and the Northern Tyrant. At that time, you shall leave and not return to the Flying Flower Zen Temple!” Sang Qing conveyed via divine thought to Princess Zi Xuan.

”Master, no, our Flying Flower Zen Temple will definitely be okay!” Princess Zi Xuan said confidently.

Sang Qing shook his head, then continued to speak with Divine Thought, ”Actually, I’ve already prepared for the worst outcome. No matter what, I must ensure you and Ye Tianchen are safe. As long as you are alive, our Flying Flower Zen Temple has not been completely destroyed. If you practice diligently, one day you’ll be able to rebuild our Flying Flower Zen Temple.”

”But, Master, I’m already the Sect Leader of Flying Flower Zen Temple. I must protect my fellow disciples!” Princess Zi Xuan said, unable to let go.

”Zi Xuan, Master doesn’t wish for this to happen either and doesn’t want to see such a scene. However, if it truly comes to this, it can’t be helped. Everyone experiences highs and lows, and every legacy has its moment of rise and fall. We must be prepared for this, though my obsession makes it hard to let go. This is the only way to preserve our Flying Flower Zen Temple. Remember, don’t be reckless!” Sang Qing spoke seriously through Divine Thought.

Princess Zi Xuan was stunned, not expecting that Master had already prepared for this. She could understand, but couldn’t let go. Sang Qing’s words were clear: if Ye Tianchen is defeated, she would use every last bit of her strength to protect Princess Zi Xuan and Ye Tianchen and leave this place, preventing their return to Flying Flower Zen Temple. Because Northern Tyrant will not spare Flying Flower Zen Temple, and Elder Sanxu might also make a move, even if these two don’t, other legacies knowing Sang Qing has passed will surely attack. Flying Flower Zen Temple, without a strong successor to guard, cannot withstand the combined assault of various legacies. Even if Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan returned, they wouldn’t escape danger. The only solution is to leave, wait until they are stronger, and then rebuild the legacy of Flying Flower Zen Temple!

It’s telling Princess Zi Xuan to give up returning to Flying Flower Zen Temple, give up protecting her fellow disciples, let them fend for themselves. Although it sounds cruel and appears callous, in times when a legacy faces complete extinction, this is the only option. Sang Qing has no choice but to make this difficult decision. It shows how difficult it is for a legacy to endure through time, how many generations must shed their last drop of blood for it, resulting in complete obliteration of body and soul!

”Master, do we really have to reach this point?” Princess Zi Xuan asked, still unwilling to resign.

”Zi Xuan, remember the saying: ’As long as there are green hills, one need not worry about the lack of firewood.’ If you act on impulse now, our legacy at Flying Flower Zen Temple truly might be extinguished. As long as you survive, Master believes in your talent. You can cultivate the Flying Flower Divine Skill to Great Success, and then rebuilding our legacy at Flying Flower Zen Temple won’t be difficult. You also know the location of Immortal Origin Liquid; apart from the forbidden Heavenly Mansion Mountain and Earth Abyss Gorge, other sites are still under your control!” Sang Qing conveyed through Divine Thought to Princess Zi Xuan.

”Master... It won’t happen; our Flying Flower Zen Temple certainly will not fall to such a fate. I believe in Ye Tianchen; I feel he can defeat the Northern Tyrant!” Princess Zi Xuan said firmly.

”That possibility is not nonexistent. Master is only prepared for the worst. Remember my words!” Sang Qing nodded, speaking earnestly.

A legacy, since its establishment, is indeed fraught with hardships and challenges, and wishing for it to endure through generations is infinitely more challenging. This journey is filled with challenges, filled with the danger of sudden annihilation. Thus, throughout the martial arts world of past and present, countless legacies have risen and fallen. Even the endlessly glorious legacies face the day of extinction. However, if someone desires to acquire the legacy of the Underworld and the Buddhist Sect, they will surely be astounded and internally deeply shaken, because the legacies of Underworld and Buddhist Sect remain thriving today, enigmatic indeed. Is there some unknown reason behind their flourishing?

Pak!

Pak!

Pak!

Northern Tyrant didn’t use Martial Arts Divine Power; he merely formed his hands into palms and continuously unleashed powerful palm strikes toward Ye Tianchen. Just like this, Ye Tianchen found it hard to withstand, wounded severely, his Martial Arts True Qi within his dantian depleted, unable to leverage potential beyond his cultivation realm. How could he possibly stand against Northern Tyrant!

Thud!

Ye Tianchen still failed to dodge, struck by a palm from Northern Tyrant, sent flying over ten meters away, and blood spurted from his mouth profusely. Northern Tyrant, however, sneered mockingly and said, ”I’ve suppressed my cultivation realm so low already, yet you’re still no match for me. Isn’t that rather disappointing? Where did all that confidence from our previous clash go? Isn’t it quite embarrassing?”

”Hey, Sang Qing, is this the promising young talent you mentioned might fight me, the Northern Tyrant? His strength is even inferior to Yu Jianzi and those four. With this as a measure, Flying Flower Zen Temple certainly can’t be preserved!” Northern Tyrant turned, gazing contemptuously at Sang Qing below, smiling disdainfully.
