Chapter 189: Chapter 188 [Jade Maiden Heart Scripture]

"Xie Yuhe is a Superpower User as well as a master of the Ancient Martial Sects, her moves are extremely lethal, and Tianshuang’s Mind Control Skill is incredibly fearsome, able to plunge one into illusions in an instant, and what other lethal techniques she possesses are unknown. As for Qingchengyue, indeed she is powerful, but how powerful, very few people know!" said the tall beauty wearing a white face mask and black sunglasses, nodding her head.

"If you want to defeat Qingchengyue, the only way is to master the ’Jade Maiden Heart Scripture’ to completion!" the old man said after giving a glance to the tall beauty.

The tall beauty fell silent. She was not unaware of the risks involved. This competition among the four beauties of the Ancient Martial Sects was, like all previous Ancient Martial Sect contests, seemingly a chance to exchange pointers in martial arts on the surface but was actually a matter of life and death, left to fate. With every competition, casualties were inevitable, and the losers would lose not only their lives but also damage the prestige of their sect.

This competition among the four beauties attracted the attention of many major powers. Essentially, all Ancient Martial Sects were watching, some aiming to see who would win or lose, others to witness the elegance of the four beauties, and yet others to understand how powerful they truly were, especially Qingchengyue, this woman who bore the title of the number one beauty and master amongst the Ancient Martial Sects. What did she look like? How formidable was she?

There was once a rumor of a Sect Leader from one of the Ancient Martial Sects who visited the Sect of Qingchengyue. Under an ancient towering tree, he saw an ethereal woman in meditation, dressed in white, as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, a beauty that could sink fish and bring down birds. Suddenly, as the woman opened her eyes and the Sect Leader locked gaze with her, the woman vanished on the spot, her skill so profound that it was unimaginable, coming without a shadow, leaving without a trace.

The Ancient Martial Sects have a thousand-year heritage and immense strength. The so-called Lightweight Skill and Inner Strength known to the public are merely superficial understandings. Talking about scaling walls and shattering mountains with a single palm strike, such feats are not myths within the Sects. Real masters far exceed the imagination of ordinary people and are not on the same level, thus unknown to them.

From then on, the reputation of Qingchengyue spread throughout all Ancient Martial Sects. Many were so eager to catch a glimpse of her that they visited day after day, but unfortunately, almost no one knew what this Heavenly Immortal-like woman looked like. Even the Sect Leader who had glimpsed Qingchengyue’s appearance could not describe it, and that was the most astonishing aspect of all.

Throughout history, any Ancient Martial Sect that has survived to the present is incredibly powerful, and their Sect Leaders are without exception among the strongest of masters. None are ordinary people. Even a Sect Leader of an Ancient Martial Sect could only catch a fleeting glimpse of Qingchengyue before she disappeared, which demonstrates her truly inconceivable strength. No wonder Xie Yuhe’s master and Brother Jiang An were so worried, unwilling to let Xie Yuhe participate in this competition.

"For so many years, no man has touched my heart. If I can’t find a man I truly love, perhaps it’s not worth practicing the final level of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture!" the tall beauty sighed.

"Perhaps this Ye Tianchen could be a suitable choice; his own strength is unfathomable. Maybe he could help you complete the cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture..." the old man suggested, glancing at Ye Tianchen not far away.

"He is indeed strong, but he’s not to my liking. Over the years, many masters from the Ancient Martial Sects, powerful Superpower Users, have joined various major forces and families, some for good, others for evil. My master’s dying wish was for a benevolent leader to emerge to oversee the Ancient Martial Sects, to reduce the bloodshed and slaughter. I must win in this competition, fulfill her wish for her, even if I haven’t fully cultivated the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, I must achieve it!" With a sudden intensity, the tall beauty clenched her fists tightly and spoke with grave determination.

The Jade Maiden Heart Scripture is an extremely profound form of Inner Strength among the Ancient Martial Sects; it’s the so-called method of cultivating Inner Strength. Once mastered to great success, the cultivator will be transformed, as if reborn, and every move they make will exude powerful energy. A mere flick of the finger could even pierce through mountains and split stones. However, the last page of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture states that to achieve great success, one must practice dual cultivation with a member of the opposite sex. "Dual cultivation," as the name implies, requires a man and a woman to engage in intercourse while practicing the techniques detailed in the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture to stand a chance of achieving great success. This requirement alone has proven to be a stumbling block for many female practitioners of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture.

Every woman harbors a fairy-tale-like love story in her heart; no matter how strong or beautiful she is, they all long for a beautiful romance. It is part of human nature, and a common human sentiment. If one were to sell her body trivially, to unite with a man she does not love, just for the sake of practicing high-level martial arts, no matter how advanced her martial arts might become, it would likely turn into the greatest regret of her life. Just the thought is unbearable.

Needless to say, who could endure standing naked and helpless before a man they don’t even love, with eyes meeting and no privacy to speak of?

"Let’s go; Xuanyuan Teng is beyond help now. I see that Ye Tianchen is not someone to be trifled with. Despite his carefree demeanor, he gives off a spine-chilling feeling when he gets serious!" The old man laughed as he spoke, appearing to hold Ye Tianchen in high regard.

"The competition is about to start; I won’t be coming to school for the next few days. Uncle, please explain to my father on behalf of the family, and tell him not to worry, and certainly not to stop me. As a disciple of the Sect, it is my duty and obligation, even if it means death in battle!" The tall and beautiful woman exuded a spirit of bravura that would not concede to men.

The tall and beautiful woman wearing a white mask and black sunglasses, along with the man she addressed as uncle, both took one last look at Ye Tianchen and then turned to leave. The conversation between them, if overheard by others, would undoubtedly be jaw-dropping.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen sent three slanderous men flying with three punches, regardless of the stupefied expressions of the others present. He then walked up to Xuanyuan Teng, whose cheeks were swollen like steamed buns, the image of a dashing young lord completely gone, looking entirely like a pig head.

"Ye Tianchen, I don’t care what background you have," Xuanyuan Teng said through gritted teeth as he glared at Ye Tianchen. "If you dare to oppose me, Xuanyuan Teng, you must die!"

"I think I’ve already said that I don’t want to oppose you, Xuanyuan Teng..." Ye Tianchen still spoke with a smile.

"Then you..."

Xuanyuan Teng suddenly felt that Ye Tianchen was mocking him. Saying he didn’t want to oppose Xuanyuan Teng, yet turning him into a pig head, and his younger brother, Xuanyuan Yu’s whereabouts and condition were unknown—what on earth did he mean by this?

"Because you, Xuanyuan Teng, are not worthy. I think opposing your entire Xuanyuan family might be a bit more interesting!" Ye Tianchen said with a calm smile.

"You..."

As soon as Ye Tianchen’s words were out, the hundreds of male and female students watching all took in a breath of cold air. Many of the boys became fired up, and many of the girls’ eyes shone with hearts. Ye Tianchen was just too cool, too domineering, daring to declare opposition to the entire Xuanyuan family in public, which was unbelievable.

"This... Does this guy really have a death wish?"

"To oppose the entire Xuanyuan family?"

"Daring to say such things is tantamount to declaring war on the Xuanyuan family. I’m afraid it will bring great disaster!"

Still, some people couldn’t help but whisper among themselves. None of them had expected Ye Tianchen to have such courage, publicly declaring war on the Xuanyuan family and not taking a hidden major family seriously, daring to do what others would not. Just the bravery and domineering attitude alone were enough to win admiration.

"I’ve wasted too much time already. I need to go to school for classes, and I can’t be late on the first day. You’d better go meet the King of Hell sooner, so everyone can rest easy!" Ye Tianchen said to Xuanyuan Teng with a smile.

"You... Ah!"

Xuanyuan Teng could not get his words out before Ye Tianchen grabbed his neck, cutting off his breath in an instant. Sadly, he couldn’t even cry out before Ye Tianchen picked him up with one hand, lifting him off the ground, dangling mid-air, about to be choked to death.

"Don’t... don’t kill me, please..." Xuanyuan Teng used all his strength to plead with Ye Tianchen, begging in terror.

"Too late. When you killed others, you never cared about their pleas or had any mercy for them. It’s about time you got a taste of this feeling yourself!" Ye Tianchen said with a still harmlessly smiling face.

Swish!

Just as Ye Tianchen was about to twist Xuanyuan Teng’s neck and kill this scum, suddenly, someone launched an attack on Ye Tianchen. The attacker was incredibly fast and powerful, throwing a punch straight at Ye Tianchen’s neck.

Ye Tianchen frowned, sensing the powerful force behind the punch. His right hand still clutching Xuanyuan Teng’s neck, he stepped back and met the attack with his left palm.

Bang!

After taking the assailant’s blow head-on, Ye Tianchen stood still without moving. Before him appeared a burly man with a broad back and waist, dressed in military camouflage pants and a black vest, who glared at Ye Tianchen with surprise, not expecting his fierce punch to be avoided.

"Our young master wants you to let go of Xuanyuan Teng!" the burly man said to Ye Tianchen coldly.

"Who is your young master? Is he commanding me?" Ye Tianchen asked, feeling quite displeased.

"Yes, I am commanding you. If Xuanyuan Teng dies, you, Ye Tianchen, will also have to die. I must kill you!" At that moment, a slender man walked out from behind the burly man, a playful smile on his lips, but his tone was incredibly domineering as he looked at Ye Tianchen and spoke.

Ye Tianchen did not recognize this man who had suddenly appeared. Before he could say anything, Xuanyuan Teng, who was nearly suffocating, struggled desperately as if seeing a savior, and said to the newcomer in a pleading tone: "Brother Ouyang, save me, save me..."
