Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 781: Chapter 780 [The Exposure of Yijin Jing’s Heritage!]

”Pff!”

Ye Tianchen struggled to stand up from the pool of blood. The power behind Du Tianqi’s palm strike was immensely great. Despite Ye Tianchen’s best efforts, unleashing the Vajra Divine Fist and being protected by the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, he was still critically injured and on the brink of death. The gap in combat power and cultivation realm was too vast. They weren’t on the same level at all. It was nothing short of a miracle that he hadn’t been crushed into a pulp!

Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi both watched Ye Tianchen with furrowed brows. At that moment, they both had the same thought: no matter what, they had to kill Ye Tianchen there and then. For both of them, he was a huge concern. With such talent, willpower, and great fortune, Tianchen, being the prodigy that he was, only lacked time. Once he had enough time to reach the heights of Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi, it was clear that he could even surpass them. At that time, it would be they who might face being killed.

”This lad is truly an anomaly. Not only has he obtained a legacy like the Yijin Jing, which is almost on par with an Immortal Scripture, but what’s more important is that he possesses an indomitable Taoist Heart. Even when critically injured and on the verge of death, he can still support himself to stand; he won’t fall until the last drop of his blood is shed...” Bei Lengshi coldly watched the blood-soaked Ye Tianchen in front of him and said.

”This kind of person must die. Even if he has no grudges against my Five Poison Sect, I would kill him just to behold the inheritance of the Yijin Jing Immortal Scripture!” Du Tianqi snorted coldly and said.

”If he grows up, he will pose a threat to me too, so I won’t just stand by and watch,” Bei Lengshi said, glancing at Du Tianqi.

Du Tianqi frowned and gave Bei Lengshi a cold look, then a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips and he said, ”Brother Bei, when I tried to kill this kid just now, why didn’t you take action? Are you now thinking of seizing the Yijin Jing inheritance from him?”

”Heh, Brother Tianqi, you worry too much, I was simply thinking of lending you a helping hand!” Bei Lengshi also said, startled.

”There’s no need. This boy has a deep grudge with my Five Poison Sect, and I will personally kill him. Whoever dares to intervene in my affair, I, Du Tianqi, will pursue it relentlessly until death,” Du Tianqi said, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

”You... Brother Tianqi, since we have the intention to collaborate, we should share the resources. Since the prosperous age of cultivation on Ancient Earth, the Yijin Jing’s legacy has resonated throughout the Ancient Martial World. At that time, when Buddhism flourished, no powerful individual dared to underestimate it. Throughout the entire Martial Arts Great World, the Yijin Jing is one of the few cultivation treasures that could be called an Immortal Scripture. Do you think you can monopolize it? Can you really digest such a big bite?” Bei Lengshi said, watching Du Tianqi with equal coldness.

”Share resources? Fine, I’ll kill Ye Tianchen, and you kill One Sword Taoist. We’ll act together. If we get the inheritance of Yijin Jing, both of us can each study it separately. How about that?” Du Tianqi said, his eyes heavy with a murderous look, watching Bei Lengshi.

Both Bei Lengshi and Du Tianqi were ruthless and ambitious, harboring their own schemes. They could even be considered ready to fight to the death at any moment. As soon as the temptation of benefits arose, they would instantly come to blows – that was beyond any doubt.

Now, Ye Tianchen surely had the inheritance of the Yijin Jing. Since ancient times on Earth, whether it was the prosperous era of Ancient Earth or now, the Yijin Jing could be called a powerful Immortal Scripture. This universe, being a Martial Arts Great World, had countless Cultivation Treasure Books. However, from the primeval era to ancient times and to the present, the number of cultivation spells worthy of the title ”Immortal Scripture” could definitely be counted on one hand. It goes without saying how powerful the legacy of Yijin Jing is. Since the Ancient Times, it made countless powerful warriors go crazy, resulting in bloody battles, Corpse Mountains, and Blood Seas. It was only after the departure of the Buddhist Emperor and the interruption of the Yijin Jing legacy that things gradually calmed down. Yet the fact that there existed a Cultivation Immortal Scripture called ”Yijin Jing” could never be forgotten.

No one would have expected that the legacy of Yijin Jing would appear once again, and on Earth within the Ancient Martial World. It was fortunate that Earth was no longer suitable for cultivation, and the ancient Transmission Arrays had been destroyed. Only world-class masters of the Emperor Realm, without relying on Transmission Arrays, could enter. Otherwise, as soon as the Yijin Jing legacy was discovered by one person, it would instantly become known to all cultivators on the entire planet and even throughout the whole Martial Arts Great World. At that time, Ye Tianchen would be in danger, facing the pursuit of countless powerful beings, with almost no chance for survival.

Both Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi wanted the inheritance of Yijin Jing – this was certain. So, whoever killed Ye Tianchen might be the first to obtain the Yijin Jing inheritance. They would not let each other succeed; even if they did not come to blows immediately, they would definitely find a way to stop each other.

”Brother Tianqi, to demonstrate our sincerity, let’s act together to kill One Sword Taoist and Ye Tianchen. How about doing it together?” Bei Lengshi said, his eyes filled with a killing intent as he watched Du Tianqi.

”Bei Lengshi, what do you mean by this?” Du Tianqi asked sharply as he watched Bei Lengshi.

”Du Tianqi, let’s not beat around the bush,” Bei Lengshi said, staring hard at Du Tianqi. ”Once the three undying elders of the Ancient Martial World have passed on, what remains will be our world. If you are unwilling to share resources and wish to monopolize them, I won’t hesitate to engage in a life or death battle with you. Whether victory or defeat, it still remains an unknown...”

The two ruthless and cunning devils had finally turned against each other, just short of coming to blows. Both of them aimed to obtain the inheritance of the Yijin Jing, nothing could be more important to them now. This was the Divine Skills Immortal Scripture that countless powerful beings sought over the ages, even at the risk of their spirit and form being annihilated.

”Fine, let’s jointly strike down Elder Sword and this little brat. Whether he really possesses the inheritance of the Yijin Jing is still unknown. Don’t celebrate too soon. And remember, Elder Sword hasn’t fully breathed his last yet, so tread carefully,” said Du Tianqi, after pausing for a moment, he ultimately agreed.

”Rest assured, Elder Sword must be utterly destroyed in body and spirit. As for this ignorant fool, after I inflict the cruelest of punishments and search his Divine Sense, I’ll hand him over to you, Brother Tianqi, to vent your frustration,” Bei Lengshi said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen stood up, his body covered in blood like a man made of blood. He was gravely injured by just a single strike, yet he didn’t fall, he didn’t submit. His conviction to forge ahead fearlessly kept him standing, even though he teetered on the brink, he would not fall. Even in death, he would die standing.

”An ant will always be an ant, delusional to defy fate, utterly ignorant of death,” Du Tianqi said coldly as he looked at Ye Tianchen.

”If you hand over the inheritance of the Yijin Jing yourself, I could smash your Divine Sense with one punch, sparing you excessive pain. How about that?” Bei Lengshi said with a sneer, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”Delusional!” Ye Tianchen said with unyielding determination. ”If I survive, I will behead both of you and annihilate your Divine Senses!”

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi were furious. Never had anyone dared to speak to them like that; in their presence, he was just a weakling at the Martial Venerate Realm, and they were almost bursting with rage. They struck simultaneously, unleashing the full force of a Martial Saint Realm powerhouse.

”Ah...” Ye Tianchen forced himself to stand, eager to block the attack, knowing he would inevitably face total annihilation of body and spirit. Still undeterred, he prepared for one final stand. But as he moved half a step, he felt excruciating pain tearing through his body, even his soul writhing in agony. His injuries were too extensive, the most severe he had ever experienced, with his Martial Arts True Power barely circulating inside him.

”It’s rare to see a young Martial Artist with such an undaunted Taoist Heart, a pity indeed. My lamp is almost out. I can only shield you one last time, get going now...” The One Sword Taoist opened his eyes; despite being on the brink of death, he still managed to mobilize the Taiji Divine Sword in front of him, blocking the lethal strikes of Du Tianqi and Bei Lengshi with his power alone.

Splash! Splash! Splash... Although The One Sword Taoist blocked the attacks and spared Ye Tianchen from annihilation, his body was riddled with holes the size of fists, other than his head; blood poured out relentlessly. His Martial Arts True Power and essence energy were fading, even the power of his Origin was dissipating. Signs of Transformation were evident in the One Sword Taoist, leaving Ye Tianchen stunned.

”Predecessor...” Ye Tianchen gritted his teeth and called out to the One Sword Taoist.

”Go now. Only by living can you stop these two devils. I believe you can do it,” The One Sword Taoist said to Ye Tianchen.

”Elder Sword, I never expected you still had the strength to counter our killing moves, truly beyond my expectations!” Du Tianqi said calmly.

”But now, you’ve started the Transformation process. How much fighting strength is left in you? Stop this futile struggle. The only regret I have is that the three of you old men from the Ancient Martial World are dying without witnessing me, Bei Lengshi, reigning supreme in the Ancient Martial World, unrivaled by anyone!” proclaimed Bei Lengshi in an outburst that seemed to have been festering inside him for years, laughing triumphantly. For years, Bei Lengshi had already broken through to the Martial Saint Realm, positioning himself among the top experts within the Ancient Martial World. He had longed to rule the Ancient Martial World and to implement his sinister scheming. However, he knew as long as Master Fang Zheng, Feng Qingyang, and the One Sword Taoist were alive, he had to exercise restraint. Now, with Master Fang Zheng having passed, the One Sword Taoist nearing Transformation, and Feng Qingyang likely gone as well, the world would belong to him, Bei Lengshi. Who could stand against him? With bloodshed and slaughter, he could dominate the entire Earth, whether Martial Artists or ordinary mortals, they were all but ants in his hands...(To be continued.
