Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1355: Chapter 1354: The Two Troublemakers Are Talisman Array Experts!

Ye Tianchen, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl, after seeing the Vermilion Bird Nest built atop a towering birch tree, felt the pressure. The entire birch tree, from top to bottom, was covered with a variety of complex runes, and these runes were different from each other, forming different formations. If any were incorrectly dispelled, it might trigger all the Divine Rune Formations, causing an unknown crisis. The key issue was that they didn’t have much time left. The Vermilion Bird could return at any moment, and no one could be its match!

Fortunately, Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, despite being extreme tricksters, were experts in the study of Divine Rune Formations and had ways to dispel them. This gave Ye Tianchen some comfort. After more than two hours, these two tricksters almost dispelled all the Divine Rune Formations on the birch tree, leaving only the last one. However, after researching, Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl hesitated to act.

”What’s going on? We don’t have much time...” Ye Tianchen glanced at Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl and said.

”Tricky, this last formation is incredibly powerful!” Little Zhu Yan said, frowning tightly.

”The last formation is a Killing Array of the Vermilion Bird clan. Even though it’s just a fragment, it’s earth-shattering. If we’re not careful, we might trigger some restriction and vanish along with this ancient birch tree!” The God Beating Bowl said solemnly.

”Isn’t there a way to dispel it?” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and asked.

”There is a way, but it’s very risky,” Little Zhu Yan said.

”We need to take a chance. There’s a place where we’re unsure of the consequences if we take the wrong step. But, we must sever the Divine Rune Formation there to completely open this last layer of runes...” The God Beating Bowl said with a furrowed brow.

”The Martial Arts World itself is full of dangers. How can one gain an opportunity without taking risks? Go ahead!” Ye Tianchen looked at Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl and said.

Little Zhu Yan paused and then sighed, ”This last layer of the formation is too difficult. It’s all my fault for not mastering my skills well. When I was with my father, I didn’t listen carefully to his teachings. Alas... I can’t dispel this last layer of formation...”

”I’m just a stone, with no hands or feet. It’s impossible for me to personally dispel the runes, at most I can only provide some advice. I can’t dispel it myself either...” The God Beating Bowl said timidly after hearing what Little Zhu Yan said.

Ye Tianchen shook his head. Could he not see the thoughts of these two tricksters? Obviously, the last layer of the Rune Array is the most powerful. It’s not that these two tricksters can’t dispel it, but they don’t dare to take risks and don’t want to jeopardize their lives. That’s why they’ve been stalling here for so long without acting. Otherwise, they would have reached the last step already. Whoever dispels this Rune Array first could enter the Vermilion Bird’s Nest first and possibly obtain a treasure. Knowing Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl’s nature as tricksters, how could they pass up this opportunity? If it wasn’t too dangerous, they would have fought for it already, and wouldn’t even have called to wake Ye Tianchen!

”Let me do it. You just tell me what to do...” Ye Tianchen said.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl were stunned. No matter what, the three of them had shared trials and tribulations, and were at least on the same side. But the two of them had retreated at the critical moment, being afraid of death, not daring to take a step forward. However, Ye Tianchen, knowing the danger and their intentions, still said he would replace them in breaking the formation, making them feel a bit embarrassed, and somewhat lacking in the sense of loyalty to life and death!

”What’s wrong? Tell me what to do. If we can get something from this Vermilion Bird Nest, we’ll divide it among the three of us!” Ye Tianchen said seriously.

”Forget it, you’re not an expert in this field, even if we tell you, you might not succeed. Let’s do it ourselves!” Little Zhu Yan thought for a moment and said, gritting his teeth.

”That’s right, you can’t open this last layer of the Rune Array. Let us handle it!” The God Beating Bowl said, embarrassed.

”Alright, you don’t need to worry. I’ll protect you with Chaos Qi. If anything goes wrong, with the power of Chaos Qi, it shouldn’t be a big issue!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Ye Tianchen stood behind Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, quickly mobilizing two streams of Chaos Qi to envelop the two tricksters. The two tricksters, somewhat trembling, approached the last layer of the Divine Rune Formation. This last layer of formation was like a huge balloon, enveloping the Vermilion Bird’s Nest, and one couldn’t see clearly what was inside the nest or what its structure was like. If they could see everything clearly and know what was inside, they wouldn’t have to go through such trouble!

”I’m on the left, you’re on the right!” Little Zhu Yan said.

”Damn, trickster, you’re trying to get me killed? I’m on the left, you’re on the right!” The God Beating Bowl said, annoyed.

”Damn, at a time like this, you’re still pulling this stuff on me!” Little Zhu Yan said disdainfully.

”Get lost, you want to trick me, not a chance. The divine rune formation on the right is much more complicated, one wrong move and you’ll die. You’re too sneaky, kid!” the God Beating Bowl said angrily.

Screech!

Suddenly, a bird’s cry, fierce and bloody, came from that direction, startling Ye Tianchen, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl into silence. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but say, ”Stop arguing, we have to move fast!”

Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and said in unison, ”Use Chaos Qi to protect me!”

Whirr!

Whirr!

Two streams of power were injected into the final layer of the rune array. On the last layer of the formation on the birch tree, countless runes appeared densely, like little tadpoles, all infiltrating the formation. Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl couldn’t help but smile and say, ”It’s a success!”

Hum!

A strange sound followed, and all the array formation runes on the birch tree vanished. Ye Tianchen, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl watched as a nest-like structure appeared before them, looking like any ordinary bird’s nest. Inside, there wasn’t anything extraordinary, except for a multicolored feather floating, unlike the Vermilion Bird’s feather, radiating divine power.

”Damn, could this thing actually exist?” Little Zhu Yan exclaimed.

”Never thought such a thing would exist. Could the legends be true? Our luck is too good!” the God Beating Bowl couldn’t suppress its smile as it said.

Screech!

Another screech rang out, and a silhouette appeared not far away, covered in blood that kept dripping, exuding an immensely powerful vicious aura that seemed to sweep across the whole sky. Ye Tianchen turned to see the silhouette appeared at the edge of the sky, it was the Vermilion Bird, looking heavily wounded yet still alive. Now that it was back, having suffered a loss, wouldn’t it fight desperately seeing the three of them?

Without saying a word, the Vermilion Bird immediately reached the front in an instant. Ye Tianchen grabbed the multicolored feather, then, along with Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, transformed into a beam of light and disappeared from the birch tree at the fastest speed!

The next moment, Ye Tianchen, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl heard the vicious sounds from behind as the Vermilion Bird went berserk, slaughtering everywhere, not knowing how long the commotion would last. Fortunately, Ye Tianchen acted quickly, and with Chaos Qi isolating their aura, the Vermilion Bird couldn’t track them. Otherwise, being chased down would have been a life and death situation.

”Damn, that Vermilion Bird won’t come after us, will it?” Little Zhu Yan asked, somewhat scared.

”Go to Old Xuan Turtle’s nest; even if the Vermilion Bird catches up, it wouldn’t dare to take risks lightly!” suggested the God Beating Bowl.

”Alright!”

Ye Tianchen didn’t hesitate. The Vermilion Bird, Divine Monkey, Old Xuan Turtle, these three creatures, each more powerful than the last, and with his current cultivation realm, dealing with any one of them was impossible. Among them, Old Xuan Turtle should be the slowest, not likely to fly back immediately. Judging from the Vermilion Bird’s situation, it probably fled because it was losing. Little did it know, during its life-and-death battle, Ye Tianchen and the others had raided its nest!

Ye Tianchen, with Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, headed west towards Old Xuan Turtle’s nest, not knowing what they would find there. What was the multicolored feather they got from the Vermilion Bird’s nest? And would there be other discoveries in Old Xuan Turtle’s nest?

Boom!

With an explosion, unexpectedly, before Ye Tianchen and the others even reached Old Xuan Turtle’s nest, they were blocked by a few turtles standing in their way. Not expecting Old Xuan Turtle to have underlings, it seemed getting into its nest wouldn’t be as easy as breaking the rune formation in the Vermilion Bird’s nest... (To be continued.
