Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1230: Chapter 1229: Clashing Head-On with the Forbidden Artifact, Shocking All Sides

No one expected that when a forbidden artifact, the Black Tripod, appeared and forcefully created a crack in the Wang family’s ”Fiery Flame Killing Array,” it gave hope to the remaining dozen martial arts experts. It led everyone to charge desperately towards the crack, believing that with the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact leading the way, coupled with a combined assault, they could definitely break through the ”Fiery Flame Killing Array.” Little did they know that when this group rushed forward, five or six instantly shattered in mid-air, turning into a cloud of blood mist, meeting a fate of total annihilation without even a chance to scream. It was the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact attacking them, catching these powerful martial artists off guard and absorbing their blood and essence energy.

In an instant, it became apparent to some that the person hiding in the dusty black fog of the manor, lurking and cowardly, owning such a powerful forbidden artifact, the Black Tripod, was not simply trying to break the ”Fiery Flame Killing Array” to escape the control of the Wang family. He also wanted to lure everyone into a false sense of security, letting them charge into the sky to break the formation together, thinking that with the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact taking the lead, the Great Killing Array could be broken. Who would have thought that the forbidden artifact, the Black Tripod, would suddenly turn against them, catching several powerful martial artists completely off guard and resulting in their soul scattering. It seems that the person with the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact is also ruthless. He not only wants to use the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact to break the array but also aims to use the blood and essence energy of other martial artists present as materials to repair the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact. His schemes are profound and vicious, always calculating against everyone. Such a person is truly terrifying, impossible to guard against!

However, just when Ye Tianchen wanted to rush downward to find the person wielding the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact, he had almost concluded that the one owning this forbidden artifact was the treacherous villain who had framed and ambushed him. Unexpectedly, after the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact suddenly ambushed and shattered several powerful martial artists, absorbing their vital blood and essence energy, it immediately suppressed Ye Tianchen, attempting to crush him alive into dust, and refine him into the blood and essence energy it wanted to absorb.

Boom!

A world-shattering tremor spread powerful energy. If it weren’t for the four strong elders of the Wang family in the manor dispersing some energy with the ”Fiery Flame Killing Array,” this single strike might have annihilated everything within a radius of ten kilometers, leaving nothing behind. The impact of this strike from the forbidden artifact truly made one’s heart tremble!

What surprised everyone present was that Ye Tianchen actually blocked it. With his powerful physical strength and holding one of the Ancient Ten Divine Swords, the ”Taie Sword,” he managed to block it. Although he was shaken down hundreds of meters, his blood churned inside, and he almost spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, Ye Tianchen indeed blocked it. His eyes were filled with rage at this moment. He was truly angry. This lurking sinister villain was too despicable, having already devised a series of treacherous schemes to step by step trap and kill him, Ye Tianchen. If soldiers can endure, what cannot be borne? This time, Ye Tianchen was truly furious and intended to slay this despicable villain.

”Just as I expected, your physical strength is incredibly powerful. It is what I seek!” A ghostly voice sounded, its direction indiscernible. It seemed that the person controlling the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact did so intentionally, not wanting anyone to know where he was hiding, especially not wanting Ye Tianchen to discover his true identity.

”Your combat power is not weak. You have the strength to fight me. Why hide your identity?” Ye Tianchen said coldly.

”Hmph, with this Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact, it’s enough to kill you. I don’t need to do it myself!” That ghostly voice was still elusive. Even when Ye Tianchen tried to trace it with his divine thought, it dissipated in mid-air, leaving him astonished by this person’s despicable and formidable means, not to be underestimated!

Ye Tianchen frowned. This person certainly wouldn’t reveal himself. Since that’s the case, his iron fist would force him to reveal himself. At this moment, Ye Tianchen was formidable. His killing intent and his invincible spirit spread, truly astonishing. Not only the martial artists enveloped by the ”Fiery Flame Killing Array” in the manor but also the Wang family experts outside the array were all shocked. Everyone knew that was a forbidden artifact! Throughout history, how many people could withstand a forbidden artifact merely with physical strength? It was truly amazing. No one expected such an astonishing figure to exist among this group.

Swish!

Suddenly, the Taie Sword vanished from Ye Tianchen’s hands. At the same time, Ye Tianchen grabbed the edge of the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact with both hands and hoisted it above his head, startling everyone to a halt.

”This... This guy really wants to contend head-on with the Forbidden Artifact?”

”How powerful is this Forbidden Artifact? Physical strength against it? That’s insane!”

”If this young man grows up, he will indeed be fearsome.”

”Wait, why does he remind me of someone...”

”Who?”

”Ye Tianchen!”

Out of the martial artists standing in mid-air, less than ten remained. Those who could survive the initial bloodbath to this point were either incredibly strong individuals or from some powerful lineage, possessing some unique treasure. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have survived until now, unable to help but be astounded by Ye Tianchen’s tactics.

”Hmph, you want to contend head-on with the Forbidden Artifact, really ignorant. I’ll reduce you to blood mist with the Black Tripod, letting it absorb your origin power. I believe that nourishing it with your physical essence will make my Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact even stronger!”

When that ghostly voice vanished, Ye Tianchen lifted the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact over his shoulders. It suddenly became as large as a mountain, entwined with black lightning, striking towards Ye Tianchen.

Pa!

A bolt of black lightning struck Ye Tianchen, who coldly smirked. His physical body’s strength had reached the Late Stage Martial Saint level, undeniably powerful. He had absolute confidence in himself. Along with the ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill” that specifically augmented his physical body strength, Ye Tianchen believed there were very few things that could break his physical body. This wasn’t arrogance but a testament to how naturally powerful his physical body strength had become.

Pa!

Pa!

Crack!

Three consecutive black lightning bolts struck down, all aiming at the top of Ye Tianchen’s head. At the same time, the entire Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact also pressed down towards Ye Tianchen. The power seemed to have multiplied several times, making Ye Tianchen’s arm feel a bit numb. He was shocked in his heart. It seems that this Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact truly cannot be underestimated!

”It’s over. The Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact’s power has increased by an unknown number of times, coming down with three powerful black lightning bolts overhead. Struck by either side means the end of both body and soul!”

”It’s a pity for this boy’s heaven-defying potential, but who would have thought someone would use a forbidden artifact to shock-kill him, truly venomous!”

Everyone present was amazed. Some even broke into a cold sweat for Ye Tianchen. No one expected the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact to be this powerful, almost indomitable. Now Ye Tianchen was besieged, unable to free his hands. How could two fists match four hands, especially in stopping the shock kill of the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact?

”Open!”

Ye Tianchen roared, his right arm radiating myriad rays of light like an enormous hand grasping the descending Black Tripod. He simultaneously freed his left hand to strike the three descending black lightning bolts with pure physical force.

Bang!

More than half of Linxian City was shaken, astonishing everyone. Ye Tianchen not only withstood the force of the descending Black Demon Cauldron but also shattered the three black lightning bolts with sheer physical force, leaving everyone dumbfounded!

”Is this... still a human body?”

”Why is this boy’s physical power so strong?”

”With a body like this, he’s on par with the supreme offspring from Ancient Times...”

Outside the Wang family estate, a middle-aged man and a young man about twenty years old were watching inside, both with ruthless gazes. When they saw Ye Tianchen withstand the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact, they were both taken aback, frowning unwillingly, not expecting such a powerful person among these martial artists.

”Who is this person? They can withstand a forbidden artifact with physical strength?”

”This person’s Cultivation Realm is likely not below ours. Big brother, if you want to be the foremost genius of Penglai’s Ancient Martial World, you still have some way to go!”

”You’re wrong. I do not wish to be just the leader among the younger generation of Penglai Immortal Island, but the number one in the three great Ancient Martial Worlds!”

”Our plan will succeed anyway. Once the Fiery Flame Formation falls, whether it’s the one with the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact or the one challenging the artifact, they’ll all end in annihilation!”

The Dragon Horse Imperial Carriage hovered not far away, watching everything inside the Wang family estate. The second lady of the Wang family was still gathering her unique bloodline power to activate the Red Cloud Treasure Mirror, a scene which did not escape her two maids, both shocked beyond belief.

”Miss, the forbidden artifact inside the estate is incredibly powerful!”

”Heavens, someone is using physical strength to resist the forbidden artifact, utterly unbelievable!”

”Is it him?” In the Dragon Horse Imperial Carriage, the Wang family’s second lady was surprised upon seeing Ye Tianchen, not expecting that the person she saw at the Linxian City gate during the day could be so formidable.

”It really is that kid, he’s actually so powerful!”

”Too strong, his physical strength is overwhelming!”

”Stop discussing and focus on protecting me, just a bit more, and I can once again activate the Red Cloud Treasure Mirror!” the Wang family’s second lady said, collecting her thoughts.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen, with his right hand, held the Black Tripod Forbidden Artifact. His right hand had transformed to the size of a mountain, unleashing an unimaginable physical power, while his eyes emitted a surge of fury... (To be continued.
