Chapter 387: Chapter 386: The Woman in the Red Robe

Bone Melting Palm, an extremely sinister Martial Art, once stirred up a storm of bloodshed in the Ancient Martial World over thousands of years. It led to being relentlessly hunted by experts from numerous sects until the inheritors of this sinister absolute skill had all but vanished, finally stemming the chaos.

Dongfang Meng told Ye Tianchen that the Bone Melting Palm, this sinister Martial Art, had always existed within the Ancient Tomb Sect. However, ever since the sect’s founding by a remarkable woman, there had been a strict order that no disciple was to practice this Martial Art and it was to be sealed away permanently. Unexpectedly, it was accidentally discovered by Li Qiushui, who cultivated this sinister Martial Art to great success. Initially, Li Qiushui dared not reveal it, but as her Bone Melting Palm became more powerful, she increasingly found it difficult to control her arrogant impulses. Eventually, she struck several disciples from other sects in the Ancient Martial World, causing great disasters. If it were not for the protection of her master, the Sect Leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect, she would have been hunted ruthlessly by the entire world.

"If I’m not mistaken, our senior sister’s Bone Melting Palm has reached the Ninth Level, otherwise she wouldn’t dare to recklessly enter the Ancient Tomb Sect!" Dongfang Meng frowned and said.

"Why do you say that?" Ye Tianchen asked.

"In the Ancient Tomb Sect, there are many traps and hidden weapons. Even our own sect’s disciples don’t dare to wander around carelessly, and the same goes for our senior sister. Only because her Bone Melting Palm has reached great success would she dare to brazenly enter and search for the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. You’re lucky to have found this place!" Dongfang Meng couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Ye Tianchen.

"What luck, this is strength!" Ye Tianchen chuckled.

Although he spoke lightly, Ye Tianchen deeply admired the Ancient Tomb Sect and respected its founder, the remarkable woman. He considered himself extremely fortunate to have stumbled upon a shortcut into the ice cellar by sheer coincidence. Had he entered any other passage, he might have lost his life without even knowing how.

"I can’t be bothered with you, stay quiet. Senior sister might not even find us!" Dongfang Meng gave Ye Tianchen a glance and whispered.

Ye Tianchen also rolled his eyes at Dongfang Meng and remained silent afterward. The voice he heard earlier was quite ghostly, seeming to float uncertainly through the air, causing Ye Tianchen to feel a powerful surge of Inner Strength. It seemed that Dongfang Meng’s senior sister, Li Qiushui, was indeed not an easy person to deal with, possessing skills probably even surpassing Dongfang Meng’s, especially since she had cultivated the sinister Bone Melting Palm to the Ninth Level, making it clear she was not here just for a simple visit.

"Oh junior sister, did you think that just because you’re quiet, I can’t find you? Stop hiding. Sister knows you brought a pretty boy to cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. How are you enjoying being a woman?" Li Qiushui’s voice sounded again, taunting and eerie. It felt like it was getting closer, yet Li Qiushui was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Tianchen wasn’t surprised by this; it was a type of Martial Arts that allowed one to project their voice over great distances. Even without having practiced the Inner Strength of the Ancient Martial Sects, he could achieve this by concentrating his powerful energy at his throat and then speaking, allowing his voice to carry very far. Evidently, Li Qiushui had already entered the Ancient Tomb Sect but couldn’t locate Dongfang Meng and Ye Tianchen exactly and was trying to provoke them into speaking. Once Dongfang Meng or Ye Tianchen spoke, they would immediately be discovered by such a skilled master as Li Qiushui, and then real danger would ensue.

Li Qiushui’s presence posed a significant threat but it also accelerated the cultivation of Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng. Both of them dared not be careless. Previously able to banter a bit, now they meditated rigorously, each absorbing the other’s essential energy. Their bodily union was complete, and now it was the union and application of their powers. Only in this state could they collectively cultivate the final mental method of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, otherwise, they were sure to perish from deviation.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen felt his energy being wildly drawn by Dongfang Meng, and he could also sense some conditions inside her body. Originally, Dongfang Meng’s injuries caused by using the "Jade Maiden Flying Immortal" skill had healed. The essence of Inner Strength from the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture that was scattered across her flesh and bones was yet to return to her Dantian. However, now having cultivated the final layer of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, the essence of Inner Strength from the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture in Dongfang Meng’s body was gradually detaching from her flesh and moving into her Dantian, he could clearly feel that the Inner Strength in Dongfang Meng’s body was now purer and stronger than before.

As for Ye Tianchen, the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture didn’t seem to have a special effect on his power growth. Still, he found it odd that his Superpower was slowly merging and absorbing the slight Jade Maiden Heart Scripture’s Inner Strength within him. Originally, he wanted the Inner Strength of the Ancient Martial Sects to merge with his own Superpower. In such a state, he could use large-scale Superpower Killing Skills with enhanced power and durability, marking a level up in his strength.

The Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, ultimately advantageous for women, required Dual Cultivation with a man to practice the final layer because the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect, that remarkable woman, did not want the disciples of Ancient Tomb Sect to end up lonely and unmarried like herself. For the male side, there wasn’t much benefit, except for the transient pleasure of a passionate night.

"Won’t such rapid cultivation cause any problems?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

"Shut up, just give me a little more time and I will have completed the final layer of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. Then I will hold off the elder sister before I kill you!" Dongfang Meng said coldly as she glared at Ye Tianchen.

"Really? This is repaying kindness with ingratitude. I went through so much trouble to bring you here and saved your life, yet you want to kill me? Your elder sister is so cruel, yet you only speak of holding her off?" Ye Tianchen was at a loss for words, not knowing why he even bothered saving Dongfang Meng. Two Jade Maidens of the Ancient Martial Sect, women as beautiful as heavenly immortals, Qing Chengyue and Dongfang Meng, were now both offended by him. Would he now be hunted down by these two extraordinary women together? That would be truly tragic. These two women were as gorgeous as heavenly immortals, but their martial prowess was also extremely perverse, far beyond the special forces and agents found in ordinary cities; they were indeed masters of the Ancient Martial Sect.

"I intend to..."

For the first time, Dongfang Meng’s face, beautiful as a heavenly immortal, stunned Ye Tianchen. Unfortunately, before Dongfang Meng could finish her sentence, a seductive female figure appeared on the gigantic ice wall behind her, descending with a palm strike.

Boom!

An ice wall several tens of meters thick was shattered with a single palm strike, shocking both Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng. At the same time, a slender hand exuding a bone-chilling coldness struck directly towards Dongfang Meng’s chest.

It happened so fast. Ye Tianchen grabbed Dongfang Meng’s left hand tightly with his left hand and suddenly pulled her back, causing Dongfang Meng to surge forward, and Ye Tianchen swapped places with her, meeting the attack with a punch of his right hand.

All this happened very quickly. Dongfang Meng hadn’t even reacted when she heard the ice wall shattering behind her. By the time she turned her head, a slender, chilling hand was already striking towards her head. It was too late to dodge or counterattack. The Sect Leader Li Qiushui had improved significantly; her Bone Melting Palm was more refined. If she were hit, she would definitely turn into a puddle of pus and blood. Just when she thought she was doomed, she suddenly felt Ye Tianchen gripping her left hand tighter, and before she could react, her body was already charging toward Ye Tianchen, who met her with a punch that blasted past her hair.

Boom!

Inside the ice cave, everywhere was surrounded by ten-thousand-year-old ice, and the relatively enclosed space made any collision sound particularly loud. Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng both flew out, smashing heavily onto the ground. They were still tightly holding each other’s left hand because the final layer of the dual cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture had not been fully completed. If they let go of the last bit of physical contact, both would go mad with ’deviation’ and die.

"Hmph, little junior sister, I didn’t expect this pretty boy you found to have some skills, daring to directly take on my Bone Melting Palm. Not bad!"

Upon hearing the enchanting voice, Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng both looked up only to see a woman in a red robe standing on a block of ice across from them. Her eyes were coldly fixed on Dongfang Meng and Ye Tianchen. In terms of appearance, this woman was not lacking and could even be considered very pretty. However, her excessive makeup and the strangely fitting red robe made one feel somewhat repelled, especially as her right hand gently slid through the air, visibly tearing it apart, revealing a terrifyingly powerful palm force.

"Senior sister, our master is no longer with us. The Ancient Tomb Sect’s heirs are only you and me, why must we kill each other?" Dongfang Meng shook her head and sighed.

"Is that so? Just recite the Cultivation Technique of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, and I might spare your life; otherwise, I will turn you and this pretty boy into a puddle of pus together!" Li Qiushui said with a cold laugh. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
