Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 374: Chapter 373: [Tian Boguang?]

Perhaps many people think that since Dongfang Meng had practiced the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture and is the only successor of the Ancient Tomb Sect, even if she hasn’t reached the Great Perfection of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, she must at least remember all the cultivation skills of the entire Jade Maiden Heart Scripture by heart. If only the final layer of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture is required to save Dongfang Meng, then it would be possible for her to wake up and immediately start cultivating the last layer with Ye Tianchen.

In fact, Zhang Yide had already thought of this, and Ye Tianchen wasn’t unaware of it either. However, when Zhang Yide used a special secret technique to search through Dongfang Meng’s memory in her brain, he did not find the final layer of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. There could only be one reason for this: to ensure that the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture of the Ancient Tomb Sect would not be spied on by outsiders, Dongfang Meng had not memorized the final layer of the spell. Because Zhang Yide could search the Sea of Consciousness, it did not mean other experts couldn’t as well, so the people of the Ancient Tomb Sect had been very thorough in their considerations.

Carrying Dongfang Meng on his back, Ye Tianchen’s eyes gathered superpower, allowing him to see clearly the things within about a kilometer around him. He was searching for the entrance of the Ancient Tomb Sect. The sheepskin map given to him by Zhang Yide was very detailed. Looking at a mountain peak in front of him, the entrance of the Ancient Tomb Sect should be at the location of the mountain peak. Ye Tianchen paused for a moment, carrying Dongfang Meng as he continued forward. The mountain peak wasn’t too large and with careful perception, it should be discoverable.

As Ye Tianchen arrived at the foot of the mountain, he closed his eyes, and his Superpower Perception spread out, gradually seeing through the entire mountain peak. Suddenly, a smile appeared on Ye Tianchen’s lips. At a position halfway up the mountain, there was a very large rock surrounded by two large trees, with the massive rock blocking the front. His Superpower Perception detected fluctuations of the Water Element behind the huge rock. It was common sense that there wouldn’t be water halfway up a mountain, so Ye Tianchen was almost certain that there was the entrance of the Ancient Tomb Sect there, and it was possible that the entire mountain peak was hollowed out, forming a large tomb.

”The founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect was truly extraordinary, transforming the interior of an entire mountain peak into the Ancient Tomb Sect. This is not a place that anyone would dare to enter lightly, nor could it be easily discovered!” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but admire in his heart. Who would have thought that the Ancient Tomb Sect would be inside a large mountain?

”I’m about to complete the mission. It seems that it won’t take ten days. I won’t be practicing dual cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. Whether you can survive depends on your own fate. I’ve done what I should do!” Ye Tianchen turned his head and spoke to the unconscious Dongfang Meng on his back.

Whoosh!

Just as Ye Tianchen was about to step towards the mountain, a sword light slashed down with a powerful force that made even Ye Tianchen frown and hastily dodge.

Bam!

A loud noise shattered the tranquility of the night. Ye Tianchen dodged the sword light, which carved a long crack over ten meters in length and about half a meter wide into the ground, fierce enough to split a regular person in two.

Swish, swish, swish!

Three men, each bearing a longsword on their backs, appeared before Ye Tianchen, looking at him with caution and anger. The leader of the men was none other than Chen Hui. They had been pursuing Tian Boguang but unexpectedly came across Ye Tianchen. It was clear they mistook Ye Tianchen for Tian Boguang. Besides, seeing Ye Tianchen carrying a girl who was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, who looked as though she had been knocked out, would naturally lead one to think the worst in the middle of the night in a virgin forest.

”Hmph, Tian Boguang, you will not escape today!”

”For the murder of more than a dozen of our Sword Control Sect’s brothers, this blood debt must be paid with your blood!”

Before Chen Hui spoke, the two disciples beside him had already drawn their longswords and pointed them at Ye Tianchen, eager to charge forward and kill him on the spot, but unfortunately, they did not have the guts to do so. Tian Boguang, the infamous villain, was renowned for his high martial skill. Remembering the horrific deaths of their Sword Control Sect brethren chilled them to the bone, and no one dared to rush forward to a certain death.

”Tian Boguang? You’ve got the wrong person,” Ye Tianchen said with a slight smile.

”You think you can escape today? Drop the girl you’re carrying, and I’ll grant you a quick death!” Chen Hui said with a strong and domineering tone.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback. He realized that these three men had mistaken him for someone named Tian Boguang, and the strong fluctuations of Qi Force coming from these men were something Ye Tianchen could feel. They were similar to the residual Qi Force on the bodies he had encountered earlier, suggesting that these three were also disciples of an Ancient Martial Sect. It seemed that their Sect’s members had been killed by this so-called Tian Boguang, and these three were pursuing him for revenge, but had mistakenly chased down the wrong person, thinking he was Tian Boguang.

”I really am not this Tian Boguang you speak of. You’ve mistaken me for someone else!” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

”Really? When I catch you, we’ll see if you’re still so tough!”

Whoosh! A sword strike came, Chen Hui didn’t say another word and swung his longsword at Ye Tianchen. It had to be said that the Sword Control Sect was indeed very powerful; their sect focused on sword control, which meant their mastery over swordsmanship and Sword Qi was extremely formidable. Ye Tianchen could tell that these three men were all very strong, especially the one swinging his sword at him now, who definitely had the strength of an Early Stage Martial King. With Dongfang Meng on his back, no matter how he moved he was somewhat hindered, and Ye Tianchen still wanted to enter the Ancient Tomb Sect sooner rather than later. Without Dongfang Meng’s guidance, entering the Ancient Tomb Sect might lead to encountering many dangers and finding the last layer of spell for the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture would definitely not be easy.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen avoided Chen Hui’s sword and sped off ahead. He didn’t want to waste time on these men who had mistaken his identity and wouldn’t let the matter rest. There was no time to kill these three men right now. If a large number of reinforcements from the Sword Control Sect arrived, that would be troublesome. It wasn’t that Ye Tianchen was afraid, but it would delay his plans.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, three more powerful bursts of Sword Qi came, and Ye Tianchen quickly dodged. Two towering trees beside him were cut down and collapsed to the ground. Chen Hui was ruthless and had acted to kill without verifying the man’s identity first, surprising the two Sword Control Sect disciples beside him who were left wondering what had gotten into Senior Brother Chen Hui today.

”Tian Boguang, if you don’t fight back, you’ll soon be dead!” Chen Hui said fiercely, his eyes filled with ruthless anger.

At this moment, Chen Hui was also extremely vexed. As the second senior disciple of the Sword Control Sect, his skills should not be inferior to the eldest senior disciple, Xiao Yuan. Even the sect leader had praised him several times, saying that Chen Hui had high comprehension and his future accomplishments would be boundless. However, what puzzled Chen Hui was why the sect leader never taught him the Sword Control Sect’s Sword Energy Skill, which also annoyed him.

Now Chen Hui had attacked several times with sweeping Sword Qi but still had not managed to hurt Ye Tianchen, who easily dodged every attack. This embarrassed Chen Hui, especially with two other fellow disciples witnessing the ordeal. How could he become the sect leader of the Sword Control Sect and command respect in the future? He couldn’t even handle Tian Boguang, a notorious philanderer who hadn’t even struck back yet—after so many attacks, he couldn’t kill him, and it was a huge loss of face.

”Your swordsmanship isn’t bad, but shame on you, I don’t think you’ve mastered it yet. I am not Tian Boguang you’re looking for. You’ve got the wrong person. If you attack me again, don’t expect me to hold back!” Ye Tianchen seriously said to Chen Hui.

Ye Tianchen considered himself neither a good person nor a bad one. Face to face with Chen Hui and the other two disciples of the Sword Control Sect who had mistaken him for someone else, Ye Tianchen had already explained himself and had even tolerated a few moves. Assaulted for no reason, Ye Tianchen was amazed at how patient his temper was; he hadn’t struck back until now.

”Hmph, don’t expect me to go easy, I really want to see how rough you can get. Even if you’re not Tian Boguang, you’re not a good person either. I will kill you!” Chen Hui declared with formidable resolve.

Clearly, Chen Hui was infuriated, humiliated by his failure to kill the man before him after several attempts. The man, far from being frightened by such ferocious Sword Qi, was surprisingly calm, amplifying Chen Hui’s own inability to remain poised.

Zoom!

Suddenly, Chen Hui’s speed reached an extreme, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Ye Tianchen, slashing down with his longsword. The Sword Qi was ferocious, seeming set on cutting Ye Tianchen down in one strike.

Once is chance, twice is coincidence, but there is no third time. At this moment, Ye Tianchen was a bit angry. The man in front of him was incredibly dominant and inexorable, probably used to being arrogant in his sect, thinking everyone should fear him. As such, Ye Tianchen didn’t hold back. Facing the overwhelmingly powerful strike from Chen Hui, he clenched his right hand tightly, and King Realm superpower surged instantaneously before he punched towards the oncoming Sword Qi.

”No one dares to clash with my Sword Qi head-on. You’re fucking looking for death!” Chen Hui sneered, directing a full-force slash at Ye Tianchen.

”This kid is done for. Senior Brother Chen Hui’s Sword Qi is nearly on par with Eldest Senior Brother Xiao Yuan now. One slash can split the hardest rock; no one dares to withstand it head-on!”

”He’s definitely going to be cleaved in two!”

The two Sword Control Sect disciples standing aside watched as Second Senior Brother Chen Hui made a full-powered strike. They couldn’t help but comment, for Chen Hui’s attack was extremely powerful, using about seventy percent of his Sword Qi’s strength. Ye Tianchen daring to counter it with his bare fists was something no one had expected! (To be continued.
