Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 362: Chapter 361 [Jade Maiden Dance Sky]

Under the intense pressure from Qing Chengyue, Dongfang Meng could no longer hold back; relying solely on the other martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect simply could not withstand Qing Chengyue’s attacks. She now felt that Qing Chengyue, who was hailed as the most rare martial arts genius of the Ancient Martial Sects in the past few centuries, was truly formidable, her power immensely vast and unfathomable. It seemed likely that, by now, the battle between the two had reached a fever pitch, enough to shatter an entire mountain with the collision of their energy. And Qing Chengyue might not yet have exerted her full strength. Dongfang Meng became gravely serious, with a hint of worry— if she lost and was killed by Qing Chengyue, it would be a minor issue, but then the Ancient Tomb Sect would lose its lineage, and who would fulfill her master’s dying wish?

Despite her thoughts, Dongfang Meng was a woman who made decisive life-and-death decisions. Since Qing Chengyue had forced her to use the martial arts from the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, she had to defeat Qing Chengyue. Otherwise, if she used the skills from the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture and still failed to defeat Qing Chengyue, she would be defeated by exhaustion. This was the flaw in the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture without achieving Great Perfection, without having found a man for dual cultivation to complete the final level of cultivation— it could only be used once before draining all of her body’s energy. This was why Dongfang Meng, unless absolutely necessary, would not use the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture; the harm it caused her was significant, and without utmost confidence, it would only be the biggest reason for her defeat.

However, even though the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture had not reached Great Perfection, Dongfang Meng’s natural talent was exceptional, and her comprehension was very good. While executing her moves, she could faintly unleash the power of the Great Perfection Jade Maiden Heart Scripture.

At this moment, Dongfang Meng levitated, sitting cross-legged with her hands joined together. Qing Chengyue frowned slightly, for she felt that all the vigorous Inner Strength she had unleashed was being neutralized by Dongfang Meng, rendering it entirely ineffective. Dongfang Meng now appeared in an ethereal state, her entire being seemed to fluctuate, almost as if she were a true fairy, who could be seen from afar but whose substance could not be touched.

Whoosh!

All those present, including Qing Chengyue, Xie Yuhe, Tianshuang and Ye Tianchen, watched Dongfang Meng in astonishment, for at this moment, her entire aura had changed, as had the breath of her energy. The aura she exuded was no longer the same as before, but pure and ethereal, like the most primal and pure power between heaven and earth, unsullied by the world.

”The Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, so this is the power it possesses— simple and pristine as the jade fairy herself, truly formidable!” Qing Chengyue couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

”I never wanted to use the Inner Strength Skill from the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, but it seems I have no choice now, take this!” Dongfang Meng said calmly, looking at Qing Chengyue.

”Very well, let’s see whether the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture of the Ancient Tomb Sect is stronger, or if the Extinction Scripture of my Yaochi Sect is more superior!” A hint of a smile appeared on Qing Chengyue’s lips, and her eyes took on a determined look. At this point, neither was willing to retreat half a step; to retreat was to lose. Only a full-fledged confrontation could determine who was mightier.

To Ye Tianchen’s surprise, as soon as Qing Chengyue’s words fell, she too sat down cross-legged right there, placing her hands on her knees and slowly closing her eyes, extending her fingers as if forming an orchid gesture. She was summoning the aura of extinction from within her, and in a matter of seconds, a wave of extinction aura emanated from Qing Chengyue. The air that touched this aura would form a black vortex, leaves that came into contact with it would shatter, and soil would turn to dust. Truly worthy of the name ”extinction”, extremely overbearing.

”It is said that the founder of the Yaochi Sect was also a woman, who suffered deep wounds from love, which is why she created such a martial art that extinguishes everything, to vent the rage in her heart. It seems to be true,” Tianshuang remarked with a furrowed brow.

”Heh, it seems your Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect really has received quite a bit of information. This makes me even more determined to kill you!” Qing Chengyue said coldly, looking at Tianshuang.

”Your opponent is me, I don’t think you have the time to be concerned with anyone else, do you?”

As Dongfang Meng spoke, she became even more phantasmal, and the veil covering her face quietly floated down, revealing an exceedingly beautiful face without a single flaw. If Qing Chengyue could topple a nation, then Dongfang Meng’s beauty could only be described as making the fish sink and the wild geese fall, outshining the moon and eclipsing the flowers. The two women’s beauty could not be compared, as they simply were not of the same style— both possessed peerless appearances that any man would go mad over, faces so enchanting that even the heavens might be envious. Ye Tianchen, who rarely gawked, found himself staring spellbound. While Qing Chengyue’s beauty carried a touch of the modern, Dongfang Meng’s was classical, as though she were unblemished and untainted by the mortal world.

”Jade Maiden Dance Sky!” Dongfang Meng shouted softly, and suddenly around her appeared numerous faint female figures, each like a fairy, so fleeting and indistinct, impossible to grasp, as if many fairies were dancing with swords. Among these sword shadows, however, was a strong aura of slaughter. One could only imagine how terrifying it would be when hundreds of nearly immortal women danced with swords that seemed like dance, yet were invisibly claiming lives.

Qing Chengyue furrowed her eyebrows and rose from the ground. At this moment, she had also pushed the Internal Cultivation Methods from her Yaochi Sect to their limits and was prepared to deliver a lethal blow. However, when she saw Dongfang Meng unleash an Absolute Skill from the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, she couldn’t help but be amazed, admiring internally, ”The Jade Maiden Heart Scripture truly deserves its reputation as a mental method that can rival the Shaolin Yijin Jing. Just the ’Jade Maiden Dance Sky’ alone is incredibly powerful!”

In the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, there certainly were not only this one Absolute Skill recorded. There were many more powerful moves, but Dongfang Meng simply had not used them. The reason was simple: she had not found a man to Dual Cultivate with and thus could not reach the state of Great Perfection. For instance, in the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, there was also an advanced dual swordsmanship technique that required a man and a woman to practice together, sometimes even involving physical contact. However, Dongfang Meng had focused on martial arts over the years and only started traveling around after her master passed away. Plus, no man had touched her heart. Consequently, many Absolute Skills from the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture were beyond her reach as she could not attain the state of Great Perfection, and she was restricted.

”If you can take this move, perhaps you will win,” said Dongfang Meng, opening her eyes and speaking indifferently.

”Do you know why our Yaochi Sect’s Internal Cultivation Methods are called the Extinction Scripture? Because it contains the word ’extinction,’ which means to obliterate everything...”

Qing Chengyue also let out a delicate shout, continuously striking with her hands. A huge palm appeared in front of her; it was the Heavenly Shocking Palm used in conjunction with the Yaochi Sect Extinction Scripture. The Heavenly Shocking Palm combined with the aura of extinction felt like it could destroy heaven and Earth, causing one’s soul to tremble. Even Ye Tianchen felt alarmed. These two women were indeed too powerful. If it were him fighting them, he would probably also be hanging by a thread. Dongfang Meng and Qing Chengyue were so formidable they could only be described as monstrous.

”Jade Maiden Dance Sky!”

”Extinguishing Sky-shocking Palm!”

In the next moment, Dongfang Meng and Qing Chengyue both unleashed their most formidable powers, utilizing the deadliest Slaughter Skills from their martial knowledge. Countless Sword Immortal women battled against the Extinguishing Sky-shocking Palm. The scene was so intense it could only be described with the words ”explosively insane.” Ye Tianchen was even shaken off the tree he was on, while Tianshuang and Xie Yuhe had already pounced to the ground, hiding from the powerful energy fluctuations.

After the earth-shaking explosion, the back hills of Longteng University were flattened. Even the Formation of an Ancient Martial Sect couldn’t withstand the clash between Dongfang Meng and Qing Chengyue, the strongest of the younger generation of disciples from Ancient Martial Sects seen in hundreds of years. The Formation was completely shattered. Ye Tianchen was also shaken off the tree and held a Superpower Light Shield in front of him. The sheer force of the energy collision nearly destroyed his Superpower Light Shield, leading him to sigh internally: Never provoke a woman. Once a woman becomes serious and loses her temper, she really is too much to handle!

The entire forest was filled with the scent of dust, and the dust cloud enveloped the sky. Added to the fact that it was night, it was unclear what the outcome of the battle was. Was the Ancient Tomb Sect’s Jade Maiden Heart Scripture victorious, or was the Yaochi Sect’s Extinction Scripture more formidable?

At this time, Ye Tianchen had nothing left to hide. After preparing himself in secret, he walked towards the center of the forest where Dongfang Meng and Qing Chengyue had their intense fight. Just as he took a few steps forward, he saw two figures—one still floating in mid-air and the other standing firmly on the ground. Based on their distinct attire, Ye Tianchen knew that after the collision of their strongest strikes, neither Dongfang Meng nor Qing Chengyue had moved an inch from their spots. They were indeed very strong.

”Dongfang Meng, you’ve lost. It’s a pity you haven’t practiced the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture to its final layer. Otherwise, even if you couldn’t defeat me, you would have been able to fight me to a draw. I have to say, you are still very strong!” Qing Chengyue’s voice rose, carrying a hint of a smile.

”Really? Take a look at your left shoulder!” Dongfang Meng’s voice sounded, filled with confidence.

When Qing Chengyue looked at her left shoulder, she saw it had been pierced by a sword. It was only because of the full-force strike just now that she hadn’t noticed. She had inflicted internal injuries on Dongfang Meng, causing her to vomit blood, but she herself was also injured by Dongfang Meng...(To be continued.
