Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1913: Chapter 1911: [To Think I’d Run into Her?]

[Brothers and sisters, Valentine’s Day is coming, begging for rewards, begging for money to buy roses, hehe!]

After more than five hours of journey, Ye Tianchen sped like the wind, pushing the ”Divine Movement Skill” to the limit, rushing to the far west of the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World, which is also the far west of the Heavenly Mountain Ancient Martial World. Here lies a desert, and even with Ye Tianchen’s current Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, he couldn’t see the end of it. He wondered just how vast this desert could be. Could there truly be a ”Barbaric Forbidden Land” here?

Upon entering this vast desert, Ye Tianchen no longer continued to deplete large amounts of Martial Arts True Qi by rushing. He knew that the closer he got to the depths of the desert and the ”Barbaric Forest,” the more he needed to remain in a peak condition. Here, in the Martial Arts World, danger lurks everywhere, and without peak strength, survival is impossible!

Ye Tianchen maintained a subtle flow of Martial Arts True Qi, allowing himself to float in mid-air. Even so, he slowly drifted for an hour. During this time, Ye Tianchen occasionally glanced below, but apart from seeing endless desert and sand, he saw nothing. No matter which direction he looked, there was nothing to be found!

”Could Hu Gao have been mistaken? This is a deserted wasteland, there’s nothing here. Could a Barbaric Forbidden Land really exist?” Ye Tianchen murmured to himself, frowning.

Thinking it over, Ye Tianchen felt staying idle wasn’t the solution. He needed to quickly find the ”Barbaric Forbidden Land,” or he might waste time drifting in this desert, possibly flying for a day and night without ever finding its location!

This desert was far larger than Ye Tianchen anticipated, beyond his imagination. It seemed like he’d have to travel a long time, and even then, he might not be able to cross it.

About half an hour later, Ye Tianchen looked up at the scorching sun overhead. The heat was quite unbearable. Most significantly, no matter where you looked, in any direction, there was nothing—except sand, and not a single living creature to be seen. This sensation was quite disconcerting!

”Damn it, nothing above, nothing below. Could the Barbaric Forbidden Land be hidden underground?” As he spoke, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but stomp his right foot hard, resulting in a dull explosion beneath his feet!

Bang!

After the loud explosion, Ye Tianchen suddenly felt a powerful aura emerge from beneath the desert, launching an attack directly at him. He quickly flew upwards, furrowing his brow!

Boom!

A massive black Poison Scorpion, measuring five or six meters long and three or four meters wide, burst forth from beneath the desert. Upon emerging, it snarled aggressively at Ye Tianchen, its gigantic tail striking at him in mid-air!

”Finally, something alive, but you don’t seem very friendly!” Ye Tianchen chuckled as he spoke, throwing a punch!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen’s punch landed on the enormous Poison Scorpion’s tail, resulting in a balanced clash that surprised him. Despite his Physical Body Cultivation Realm having reached Late Stage Martial Saint, making him undeniably powerful, even a casual punch carried immense force. Yet, the tail of the Poison Scorpion matched his punch evenly, indicating the scorpion’s strength and formidable physical power!

Boom!

Just as Ye Tianchen was about to fully engage the Poison Scorpion, there was another dull sound from behind him. A large grey snake emerged from the sand beneath the ground, its tail adorned with several different colors, vibrating and emitting an eerie sound.

”Poison Scorpion, Rattlesnake, could these two creatures be teaming up to attack me?” Ye Tianchen was taken aback.

Swish!

Swish!

The Poison Scorpion and Rattlesnake moved simultaneously, their powerful tails striking towards Ye Tianchen in the center. Ye Tianchen frowned, and both fists struck outwards to the sides!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen felt immense pressure; both the Poison Scorpion and Rattlesnake exerted considerable force. Even Ye Tianchen’s physical form felt numbness in his arms from the shock. Yet, before Ye Tianchen could react, the second assault from the Poison Scorpion and Rattlesnake came again!

Whoosh!

With a flash, Ye Tianchen used the Divine Movement Skill and vanished into thin air. Meanwhile, the tails of the Poison Scorpion and the Rattlesnake collided, and the two monsters charged at each other, engaging in a fierce battle!

”So these two creatures were already fighting, and I just disturbed them!” Ye Tianchen muttered to himself with a wry smile.

At this moment, seeing the Poison Scorpion and the Rattlesnake locked in combat, with their mighty forces scattering and kicking up endless clouds of dust, Ye Tianchen realized that these two behemoths were already battling from the start. They had just been lurking beneath the sand, waiting for the right opportunity. Unexpectedly, his arrival startled them, and now these colossal creatures are naturally going all out for an immortal struggle!

Watching these two giants fight, Ye Tianchen shook his head. He had no intention of intervening; there was no need to provoke these strong creatures. It was evident they were fighting over territory, and it would certainly be a battle to the death. Ye Tianchen had no grudge against these two giants, and there was no need to risk his life. His priority was to find the entrance to the ”Barbaric Forbidden Land.”

”Are you just going to leave like this? Aren’t you curious about which of these desert rulers is stronger?” Suddenly, a female voice rang in Ye Tianchen’s ear, surprising him. He looked into the distance and saw someone familiar sitting cross-legged, smiling at him.

Ye Tianchen stared at this person, genuinely startled. He didn’t expect to encounter someone who wasn’t quite a friend nor an enemy, someone he’d once fought alongside and also battled against. Meeting here was truly unexpected!

”It’s you? What are you doing here?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

”Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” the person sitting cross-legged nearby retorted to Ye Tianchen.

”I’m here to find the Barbaric Forbidden Land,” Ye Tianchen replied candidly.

”Upon seeing you, I already guessed. You’re just as confident and adventurous as ever!” the cross-legged person replied with a smile.

”Unfortunately, I’ve searched for a long time but couldn’t find it. Can you help me?” Ye Tianchen asked, looking at the person.

”Logically, I should have deep resentment towards you for imprisoning me in the Holy Heaven Prison. I’ve always wanted revenge, so why would I help you? However, my master taught me that competitors don’t have to be enemies, which is the aim of our Daoist cultivation!” The cross-legged person laughed freely.

”Wuji Taoist, I feel that your mental realm has advanced significantly, and your strength has improved greatly. Shall we have a match?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile toward the person sitting cross-legged.

”No need. I’ve heard about your deeds in the Penglai Ancient Martial World. I’m not your match right now, but I won’t give up and will eventually defeat you!” Wuji Taoist shook her head.

Ye Tianchen truly didn’t expect to encounter someone he knew here, particularly Wuji Taoist. He recalled meeting her for the first time in Purple Bamboo Great Saint’s tomb. Later, disagreements arose, leading to a battle where Ye Tianchen imprisoned Wuji Taoist in the Holy Heaven Prison. Later, Wuji Taoist’s master came to free her, and Ye Tianchen released Wuji Taoist.

Seeing Wuji Taoist here reminded Ye Tianchen of her master. The old nun he saw at the time gave him a profound impression. Ye Tianchen knew that if Wuji Taoist’s master had acted then, he might have lost. Wuji Taoist’s master had great insight and mental realm. When Wuji Taoist was released from the Holy Heaven Prison, she wanted to assault Ye Tianchen, but her master stopped her. She told Wuji Taoist that charging forward would not defeat Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen only suppressed her without causing harm, which was quite considerate!

As Wuji Taoist’s master left with her, she left Ye Tianchen with a message: If one day Earth falls into chaos, the Martial Arts World falls into turmoil, and all beings suffer, I hope Ye Tianchen will lend a hand to the innocent!

”Ha, I’d welcome that. Is your esteemed master here?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

”No, I’m here to train. Despite being Taoists, we also cultivate Buddhist Holy Skill, and this desert at the intersection of Song Mountain Ancient Martial World and Heavenly Mountain Ancient Martial World is the most thriving place for Buddhism,” Wuji Taoist explained.

”I’ve always wondered, isn’t Buddhist Shaolin the most authentic heritage?” Ye Tianchen frowned and asked.

Buddhist Shaolin is in the Song Mountain Ancient Martial World, so why is the desert at the intersection of Song Mountain and Heavenly Mountain Ancient Martial Worlds the thriving place for Buddhism? Ye Tianchen never quite understood this.

”Buddhist Shaolin was formerly the residence of eminent Buddhist monks and even the Buddhist Emperor?” Wuji Taoist asked Ye Tianchen in return. (To be continued.
