Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 737: Chapter 736 [Decisive in Killing, Full of Wisdom and Strategy!]

Quan Li was defeated, his head the only part left after being bombarded by two punches from Ye Tianchen. Once his head was smashed, his spirit and form would both be destroyed, and he would utterly vanish from the world.

The divine thought of a martial artist resides within the head, and it can be said that as long as their cultivation is slightly profound, even if everything below the head turns into mincemeat, as long as the head is intact, the divine thought will not perish. If the divine thought persists, a powerful individual can help rebuild their body; thus, they could still survive.

In the mouth of Poison Scorpion, facing the slightest touch of poisonous gas and stingers that could kill upon contact, Ye Tianchen fought for survival against the odds and contemplated the ”Vajra Divine Fist” in a desperate situation. He managed to cultivate it to the Small Success Realm in just half an hour. His ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill” had already reached the Small Success Realm. If he was attacked by cultivators of the same level, unless they wielded a very powerful divine art or absolute skill, he could withstand it with his flesh unharmed. The Vajra Divine Fist and the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill complement each other. At this moment, having trained the Vajra Divine Fist to the Small Success Realm, Quan Li was no longer his match and was killed by two punches.

”Don’t kill me, I’ll tell you where Dongfang Meng is. As long as you take me in exchange, they definitely won’t kill Dongfang Meng!” Quan Li pleaded desperately as he looked at Ye Tianchen with terrified eyes.

At this moment, Quan Li bore none of the arrogance or bearing of a master, almost on the verge of tears, his entire being consumed by fear. His pleading gaze only grew more ridiculous to behold. Once upon a time, Quan Li was so spirited, so unrivaled, so proud, but now he had become like a dog begging for its life, not because his strength was insufficient, but because he had lost all his dignity as a person.

”There’s no need. To lay a hand on mere children, would there be any justice if I didn’t kill you?”

Ye Tianchen made a decisive strike, smashing his palm onto Quan Li’s head, turning it instantly into a cloud of blood mist that dissipated into the sky with the wind. Quan Li met an end where his spirit and form were both annihilated.

Turning around, Ye Tianchen looked at Tianshuang, Zhang Ruotong, and the two children lying on the ground. He rushed over to them, first striking the backs of Tianshuang and Zhang Ruotong with his palms. Although Ye Tianchen did not know how to heal, he could use his powerful Martial Arts True Power to force the poisonous gas out of Tianshuang and Zhang Ruotong’s bodies. As long as the poison from Poison Scorpion was expelled from their systems, they would be out of danger.

After Tianshuang and Zhang Ruotong began to recover, Ye Tianchen hurriedly checked on the two children’s injuries. Fortunately, they weren’t seriously hurt, and Quan Li had not had the chance to poison them. Luckily, Ye Tianchen had come out in time and killed Quan Li, otherwise, the children would have surely been brutally murdered.

”How are they?” Zhang Ruotong asked.

”Nothing serious, they just fainted; they’ll be fine when they wake up!” Ye Tianchen nodded and replied.

”You killed Quan Li, how will you save Dongfang Meng?” Tianshuang asked with some worry.

Everyone had heard Quan Li’s words; Dongfang Meng was not dead and was very likely captured by the other six of the Five Poison Seven Sons. At the time, Quan Li had also instructed his six subordinates not to harm Dongfang Meng, just in case, thinking if they couldn’t pursue and kill Ye Tianchen and Tianshuang, they would use Dongfang Meng to lure them out and kill them together. Little did Quan Li know he would himself meet a demise where his spirit and form were both destroyed, foiling his plans.

”I have my own way!” Ye Tianchen said with composure.

”What way? You don’t mean to storm the Five Poison Sect, do you? Absolutely not, the Sect Leader of the Five Poison Sect, Du Tianqi, has profound cultivation, and their Great Elder Du Jue is rumored to have lived more than five hundred years without passing away. He is a deeply inscrutable old fellow!” Tianshuang expressed her concerns.

”If Dongfang Meng is dead, I will definitely annihilate the Five Poison Sect. If she is still alive and can be safely rescued, the destruction of the Five Poison Sect can wait,” Ye Tianchen said seriously.

”Tianchen, don’t take risks lightly!” Zhang Ruotong also said with worry.

”Alright, let me show you my way...”

As Ye Tianchen spoke, he waved his right hand, and a golden light screen appeared in front of him, blocking the view of Tianshuang and Zhang Ruotong. When the golden light screen vanished, Tianshuang and Zhang Ruotong both instinctively took a few steps back, holding the two fainted children in their arms because the person standing before them was no longer Ye Tianchen, but Quan Li.

”You... Are you Tianchen?” Zhang Ruotong asked incredulously.

”You are Ye Tianchen. No, that’s not right, you are Quan Li... Who exactly are you?” Tianshuang was confused, unsure whether the person in front of her was Quan Li or Ye Tianchen.

Logically, Quan Li should have been completely destroyed, so how could he still be alive? The person in front of them must be Ye Tianchen. But... the person standing before them shared not only Quan Li’s appearance and stature, but also the energy and the look in the eyes, making Tianshuang and Dongfang Meng unable to distinguish clearly.

Martial artists are individuals who defy the heavens and strive for life without regret, mastering various supreme divine powers. The Disguise Skill is not a difficult technique to perform, but depending on the cultivation realm of the user, it can become increasingly undetectable. However, no matter how sophisticated the disguise, the energy and gaze one emits cannot be altered.

Tianshuang initially could have confirmed that the person before her was Ye Tianchen. Her cultivation was not weak, and she came from a divination background, her knowledge of the Martial Arts World naturally wider than Zhang Ruotong’s. But now, she also couldn’t be sure because the person in front of them, not only did they look and stand like Quan Li, their emitted energy and that venomous gaze were the same, leaving Tianshuang unable to judge.

”The Bone Transformation Skill is indeed formidable; even you couldn’t tell the difference. I believe that among the remaining six of the Five Poison Seven Sons, even the Sect Leader Du Tianqi of the Five Poison Sect might not be able to recognize me!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

When he had killed Quan Li, leaving not even his spirit intact, Ye Tianchen had already thought of this method. Using his powerful Bone Transformation Skill to take on Quan Li’s appearance, he was certain that he would not be unmasked in his attempt to rescue Dongfang Meng, and even if he were to infiltrate the Five Poison Sect, he wouldn’t be recognized immediately. He was not a reckless man, absolutely unwilling to gamble with the lives of his friends.

”Bone Transformation Skill? That’s amazing!” Tianshuang couldn’t help but exclaim.

”The Bone Transformation Skill... my grandfather was unwilling to teach it to me at that time. He didn’t want me to enter into the Martial Arts World, saying it was too cruel and too bloody. And where is he now?” Zhang Ruotong said with a hint of sadness.

Ye Tianchen looked at Zhang Ruotong, knowing she was missing her grandfather, Zhang Yide. If it weren’t for him, where would Zhang Ruotong be alive today? The grandfather and granddaughter had always depended on each other for survival, their relationship naturally very deep, far from what ordinary people shared.

”You both stay here; this place is also protected by a Formation, so it’s very difficult for anyone to break in quickly. After I rescue Dongfang Meng, I might go straight to the Songshan Sect. The meeting of the Ancient Martial Sects is about to begin, and I must also rescue Brother Tian!” Ye Tianchen said to Tianshuang and Zhang Ruotong.

”Then be careful,” Tianshuang said.

”Tianchen...” Zhang Ruotong didn’t know what else to say at the moment.

”Don’t worry; once I’ve rescued Brother Tian, I will come back for you. I promised to protect you for a lifetime, as long as I’m still alive,” Ye Tianchen assured her with a smile while looking at Zhang Ruotong.

Tianshuang looked at Ye Tianchen with some disdain, then turned and left in the direction of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect. She was carrying two unconscious children with her and couldn’t bother listening to Ye Tianchen’s words anymore, feeling slightly uncomfortable in her heart.

After Ye Tianchen turned away and departed, Zhang Ruotong stood in place, watching him gradually leave, tears streaming down her face, yet it was filled with a joyful smile. She knew that all she had invested in this man was worth it; he would not abandon her.

After leaving the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, Ye Tianchen, using the Bone Transformation Skill, transformed into Quan Li. Honestly, he didn’t know where to find the remaining six of the Five Poison Seven Sons. Only by finding these six could he possibly locate Dongfang Meng, otherwise, he would be clueless about where to start. With his current level of Cultivation Realm, recklessly breaking into the Five Poison Sect would indeed be akin to seeking death.

Ye Tianchen didn’t know how long he had walked when suddenly he sensed six strong presences in the mountains ahead. A smile appeared on his lips; it seemed his luck wasn’t bad, for he had so quickly found the remaining six of the Five Poison Seven Sons. Without delay, he flew towards them with Qi Manipulation Flight.

Upon reaching the mountains ahead, Ye Tianchen indeed saw six figures enveloped in Poisonous Gas. Not far away, Dongfang Meng had already fainted, seemingly under the effect of a talisman, with all her Martial Arts True Power sealed. No wonder what Ye Tianchen had sensed were only the energy fluctuations of six people.

”Senior Brother Quan is back. It looks like he has successfully killed the fleeing dogs!” one of them said with a laugh upon seeing Ye Tianchen descending.

”Senior Brother Quan, how did it go?” another asked.

”Of course, I killed them all. How could they possibly escape from my, Quan Li’s, palm?” Ye Tianchen replied, mimicking Quan Li’s arrogant tone.

”Then, big brother, what should we do with this woman? Should we let our brothers enjoy her before killing her?”

”Yeah, such a beautiful woman is rare on the entire Earth; it would be too much of a waste just to kill her like this. Since the Martial Arts Power inside her has been sealed, she’s just like any ordinary woman now; we can have a go at that kind of thing!”

”Let me go first then!”

The six subordinates of Quan Li, ever since they had captured Dongfang Meng, had been wanting to abuse her one by one. Had it not been for Quan Li’s strict orders when he left, they would have already lost their patience. Now seeing Quan Li return, they were even less able to contain themselves. One of them rushed to Dongfang Meng first, ready to undress her.

Splat!

Unfortunately for this member of the Five Poison Seven Sons, just as he got in front of Dongfang Meng and was about to get handsy, blood spurted out, and his head was separated from his body...(To be continued.
