Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 773: Chapter 772: [Du Tianqi VS Bei Lengshi]

[PS: The second update today is here. Please reward, looking for the Alliance Hierarch!!!]

Facing the rapid assassination attempt by Du Wanli, Bei Wei was surprised but not panicked, quickly retreating. As Du Wanli’s palm struck towards his forehead, Bei Wei extended his finger and released a powerful finger force that tore through the sky and split a distant mountain peak in two.

”Such a powerful Divine Art, it’s like it split the Heavenly Capital itself.”

”It’s a Divine Art from the Songshan Sect, known as ’Heaven Cutting Finger’.”

”Heaven Cutting Finger concentrates the Martial Arts True Power at the fingertips, unleashing astonishing power of slaughter. Once mastered to great success, one can even split the heavens with a single finger.”

Some martial artists present who saw Bei Wei use the ”Heaven Cutting Finger” couldn’t help but express their amazement in discussion. The Five Poison Sect had a long heritage, and Du Wanli had the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner in hand. But Bei Wei was no less formidable, mastering the Songshan Sect’s ”Heaven Cutting Finger” along with having the treasure Jade Fan in hand. Their combat power was evenly matched, and for the two of them to quickly defeat each other, it was nearly impossible.

Bei Wei’s ”Heaven Cutting Finger” destroyed the huge black centipede that Du Wanli spat out, and he also threw a punch in response to Du Wanli’s palm strike towards his forehead, striking up against it.

Boom!

A dull thud echoed, shaking the entire competition formation. If not for this special formation containing the aftermath of the Martial Arts True Power, the cultivation field could not have remained intact.

”Du Wanli, even with the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner in hand, what can you do? Can you defeat me?” Bei Wei coldly asked with a sneer.

”Hahahaha, calling you a fool really means you’re a fool. Have you forgotten what our Five Poison Sect is known for?” Du Wanli said with a look that saw Bei Wei as good as dead.

Bei Wei was stunned, and he immediately felt a severe pain in his right hand. When he looked at his right hand, he was terrified to see his right arm turning from blood-red to pitch-black and then almost instantly, the flesh vanished, revealing bare bones—which was extremely horrifying.

”Ah... my hand, my right hand...”

Splash!

While yelling, Bei Wei concentrated Martial Arts True Power in his left hand, slicing off his own right arm with a single knife strike. Otherwise, not only his right arm, his whole body could have lost its life, turned into a pool of pus and blood by the poisonous gas unleashed by Du Wanli.

”You... Du Wanli, how dare you sneak attack with poison, give me your life!” Bei Wei shouted loudly in anger, lunging towards Du Wanli.

Boom!

This time, Bei Wei was sent flying. His right arm was completely crippled, leaving only his left arm intact. Although for a martial arts expert, damage to the physical body wasn’t a huge issue, it still had some impact. That said, as long as the head isn’t shattered and the Divine Thought isn’t extinguished, a person won’t die completely. This doesn’t mean there’s no sense of pain, or that the physical body doesn’t need protection.

Spurt!

Bei Wei spat out a mouthful of blood, he was struck by Du Wanli in the chest and heavily slammed into the competition formation’s barrier. Du Wanli’s mouth corner revealed a smirk, stored the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner behind him, and coldly walked towards Bei Wei while smugly saying, ”Your combat power is indeed strong, it’s just too bad your brain is too slow. Bei Lengshi having such a foolish son, I feel sad for him, go to hell...”

With a palm strike, Du Wanli aimed to obliterate Bei Wei both physically and spiritually. The Ancient Martial World’s martial arts conference had now turned into a major showdown between the Five Poison Sect and the Songshan Sect. For Ye Tianchen and others, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Neither sect was good, let them bite each other like dogs, hurt each other as much as possible, so they wouldn’t bring harm to other martial artists of the Ancient Martial World.

Whoosh!

A finger force shot out, Du Wanli’s palm hadn’t even fallen before he felt a huge killing intent coming directly at his head, very powerful. It was clearly Bei Lengshi who had acted, he couldn’t just watch his own son being killed. Even if Bei Lengshi is extremely ruthless and doesn’t care about his son’s life and death, he would still care about his own reputation, not letting Du Wanli succeed.

Du Wanli felt the strength of this finger force, he definitely could not match Bei Lengshi, and could only quickly retreat, giving up the chance to kill Bei Wei. He quickly formed a sealing skill with his right hand, gripping the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner in his hand, quickly unfurled it to block the powerful finger force.

Bang!

Even with the protection of the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner, Du Wanli was still thrown out and landed heavily on the ground with severe injuries due to the Heaven Cutting Finger, an absolute skill of the Songshan Sect, and was performed by Bei Lengshi whose prowess was naturally incomparable to that of Bei Wei. Instinctively thrown out, he fell to the ground and spat blood.

”Bei Lengshi, you...” Du Wanli glared fiercely at Bei Lengshi who was seated.

”Originally, I didn’t want to make a move, but the position of the ruler of the Ancient Martial World demands a successor of justice, not a treacherous scoundrel. You resort to stealthy poisoning; even if you win, how could you possibly assume the position of ruler of the Ancient Martial World?” Bei Lengshi said righteously and loudly.

The people present all knew that Bei Lengshi wasn’t concerned about the life of his own son. As a person whose cruelty reached the extremes, he recognized no loyalties. His primary concern was the potential death of Bei Wei at the hands of Five Poison Sect’s Du Wanli, as it would disrupt his plans and cause him to lose face.

The One Sword Taoist looked at Bei Lengshi and did not intervene. Neither the Five Poison Sect nor the Songshan Sect were benevolent factions; both were ambitious, and their struggle was something everyone wanted to see, so naturally, he would not intervene as he had done to save Xie Yuhe.

”Old man, you’re utterly shameless! Do you think all the martial artists present are fools?” Du Wanli coldly confronted Bei Lengshi.

”How dare you! I am your senior both in terms of reason and emotion. It’s no wonder I had to discipline you!”

Bei Lengshi made his move again, deploying Heaven Cutting Finger. With a flick of his finger and a cold smile, he knew that by killing Du Wanli, either he or his son would assume the role of ruler of the Ancient Martial World.

The Shaolin Sect sent no one to the conference; the One Sword Taoist of the Wudang Sect had clearly stated he wouldn’t vie for the position. Even if he wasn’t going to watch Bei Lengshi become the ruler, he would only speak reasonably and not act recklessly; The Huashan Sect’s Xian Yutong had already been bribed by him, definitely siding with his Songshan Sect; as for Flying Knife Sect, Jiang An was manipulated to death, and Xie Yuhe was severely injured, lacking the strength to compete; Qing Chengyue of the Yaochi Sect, though a rare cultivation prodigy, was ultimately female and not suitable for assuming the rule of the Ancient Martial World; Eastern Dream of the Ancient Tomb Sect was left as the sole inheritor, unlikely to risk her life unless she disregarded the extinction of her sect’s legacy; all that remained was the Five Poison Sect. Although it had an ancient legacy, Five Poison Sect primarily used poison, entailing extremely arduous cultivation, with many disciples dying from self-poisoning at the beginning of their training. Even though Du Tianqi of Five Poison Sect also possessed the cultivation of the Martial Saint Realm, the overall strength of the Five Poison Sect was inferior to that of the Songshan Sect.

Having already analyzed these factions thoroughly, Bei Lengshi was confident in convening this grand meeting of the Ancient Martial World to elect a ruler - he would never engage in something he wasn’t sure he could handle.

Another Heaven Cutting Finger was launched, and this time Du Wanli no longer had the strength to channel the Martial Arts True Power and make the Poison Saint Intense Flame Banner effective. He could only watch as the formidable force targeted his brow.

”I’ll kill you first, and see how your father reacts!” Bei Lengshi transmitted this message through Divine Thought icily to Du Wanli.

”Bei Lengshi, you’re too ruthless!” Du Wanli shouted loudly.

Boom!

Squeeze!

Suddenly, a man appeared in front of Du Wanli, dressed in a black robe, his gaze coldly fixed on Bei Lengshi. His right hand caught the force of the finger attack from Bei Lengshi, gently shaking it to shatter it.

”Bei Lengshi, you want to kill my son, but did you ask if I agreed?” The middle-aged man loudly scolded Bei Lengshi.

Bei Lengshi furrowed his brows and also stood up, staring intently at the middle-aged man. Although the murderous intent in his eyes was fleeting, he hadn’t expected that after a few years, this man’s combat power had also reached the Martial Saint Realm. It seemed that becoming the ruler of the Ancient Martial World wouldn’t be so easy for him.

Some people present didn’t know who this middle-aged man was, but they could all see that his combat power was incredibly strong, definitely ranked among the top in the Ancient Martial World. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare reproach Bei Lengshi like this. If it had been anyone else, Bei Lengshi would have long since made a move to kill him.

”Hahaha, Brother Tianqi has come. I was just making a joke,” Bei Lengshi laughed and said.

”A joke? Let me make a joke with your son as well...”

As Du Tianqi spoke, he had already made a move, extending his right hand to grab towards Bei Wei. Bei Lengshi instantly countered with a palm against Du Tianqi.

Boom thud!

The clash of two Martial Saint Realm experts was merely simple; the entire Songshan Sect trembled as if it were about to burst apart, with even the specially protected formation failing to hold, and the sky changed color, stirring up winds and clouds. This left all present martial artists stunned, with many harboring thoughts of fleeing. If these two were to battle seriously, destroying a mountain was as easy as flipping a hand, and even bringing a cataclysmic disaster to the entire Ancient Martial World was beyond doubt...(To be continued.
