Chapter 389: Chapter 388 【Whatever You Want】

"Do you think I can’t tell that you are trying to buy time? This will send you both to the Western Heaven, little junior sister, don’t blame me!"

Li Qiushui’s seductive voice rose, but it carried a heavy murderous intent. Her second palm strike came with full force, filling the entire ice cellar with a breath of death. Some of the more fragile ice walls completely shattered, and those millennium-old ice blocks also groaned in agony, unable to withstand such vicious inner strength. The Bone Melting Palm, inherently infused with the breath of death, instantly obliterates the existence of things, hence it can turn a person into pus and blood with one strike, a truly brutal and terrifying Absolute Skill. No wonder, for thousands of years, the founders of the Ancient Tomb Sect had strict ancestral teachings passed down, forbidding anyone from practicing the Bone Melting Palm.

Ye Tianchen’s left hand tightly held Dongfang Meng’s left hand, now the only link between the two. Once their hands separated, their fate would be deviating into madness and death; they wouldn’t even need Li Qiushui to make a move, as they would be dead already. However, facing Li Qiushui, whose skill already surpassed theirs, Ye Tianchen felt the difficulty, while Dongfang Meng closed her eyes, fully focusing on advancing to the final stage of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, which was all she could do then.

Boom, boom, boom...

A series of explosive sounds resounded in the already sealed ice cellar, extremely piercing. Ye Tianchen’s left arm held Dongfang Meng, while his left palm remained firmly pressed against hers as they continuously retreated. But wherever he retreated, the force of the Bone Melting Palm would reach, instantly causing nearby objects to burst. If not for Ye Tianchen’s quick actions, both would have already turned into a puddle of pus and blood, several times they barely missed being hit.

Indeed, Ye Tianchen had intended to buy time, hence his offensive words earlier, trying to tease Li Qiushui, to see if this lascivious woman would fall for it, at least to gain more time for Dongfang Meng to break through. By Ye Tianchen’s estimation, even if he hadn’t been restrained by Dongfang Meng and fought wholeheartedly against Li Qiushui, he wasn’t necessarily going to win against this woman. At this moment, Ye Tianchen truly felt the profoundness of the Ancient Martial Sect, deep and unfathomable. Those Sects on Earth that had been passed down for thousands of years, and had not perished, were truly exceptional. It appears that real strength still lies with the Ancient Martial Sects, especially as Superpower Users, appearing and existing briefly, were far shorter in duration and less refined in many aspects compared to them.

In short, even if an ordinary person discovers they have superpowers, commonly known as special abilities, these are generally not strong, lack destructive power, and don’t know how to utilize or develop them, because there are very few Superpower Users in the world. Even a powerful country is still researching and developing these abilities. Let alone an individual who discovers their superpowers, whereas Ancient Martial Sects are different. Each year they secretly select some talents to enter the Sect for cultivation and some of the world’s major families and forces, naturally aware of the existence and might of these Sects, find ways to send their people to learn Ancient Martial Arts. Ultimately, these talented individuals are truly powerful, possessing unimaginable combat abilities.

In a word, Superpower Users have no one to teach them, but those from the Ancient Martial Sects do, with centuries-old Absolute Skills waiting to be learned—far better than groping your way through Superpower Skills, right?

Ye Tianchen was no match for Li Qiushui, he had already decided that internally, and it was a certainty. This woman was exceptionally cruel and highly skilled; she probably wouldn’t even lose if pitted against Qing Chengyue, truly monstrously powerful.

Boom!

A slender palm shadow fell, and Ye Tianchen, carrying Dongfang Meng, had retreated to a corner of the ice cellar with nowhere else to go. With no other options, Ye Tianchen had to summon a massive ice wall with his right hand, positioning it in front of him and Dongfang Meng.

Bang, thud!

An ice wall tens of meters thick, weighing at least a thousand kilograms, failed to block Li Qiushui even momentarily. She shattered it with one palm strike. Ye Tianchen frowned, at this point, even if his skills were inferior to this cruel woman’s, he had to go all in, holding on as long as he could, or else he and Dongfang Meng were merely waiting for death.

"Go to hell!" Li Qiushui coldly shouted, as the figure in a Da Hong Pao moved and struck a palm towards Ye Tianchen’s head.

"The one to die is you!"

In that moment, Ye Tianchen was also furious. Being reborn on Earth, it was the first time he had been driven into such a corner. Surprised by the Ancient Martial Sect’s skills, he also felt a surge of inexplicable anger. He had never been a coward, whether when facing the most powerful demon beasts in the apocalypse or not, he had never fled. To Ye Tianchen, this was the spirit of a true man.

With his right hand clenched tightly, centered around Ye Tianchen’s right fist, a fierce Thunder Power erupted, making a crackling sound that startled Li Qiushui. She had not expected that the good-looking man facing her would suddenly explode with such formidable power, engulfing the fist wind with surging Thunder Power.

"Bone Melting Palm!"

"Thunder Sky Fist!"

Bang!

The loud noise shook the heavens. If it weren’t for the ice cellar being surrounded by extremely sturdy, perennial ice, that single strike might have blown the entire ice cellar apart. Even so, it still shattered a large portion. The full-strength strike of Li Qiushui’s Bone Melting Palm clashed with Ye Tianchen’s Thunder Sky Fist, powered by the peak strength of the King-level Superpower Realm. It was a colossal collision of powers that would have astonished any strong observer. One was Li Qiushui, a venomous woman who had mastered the Bone Melting Palm to the Ninth Level. The other was Ye Tianchen, a mere twenty-year-old King-level Superpower Expert. Their combat strength was incredibly formidable, truly astonishing.

Li Qiushui was sent flying backward. In mid-air, she twisted her body and flipped before barely managing to land on an ice wall dozens of meters away. Her right arm hung limply, the veins on the back of her hand exposed, seemingly also slightly injured. Her eyes filled with murderous intent, she stared intently through the misty ice.

When the ice mist finally cleared, Ye Tianchen was still holding Dongfang Meng with his left hand, his palm never moving an inch. However, his right arm was covered in blood, and blood streamed from the corners of his mouth. Although he could not be said to have been defeated by that strike, he had taken more damage than Li Qiushui.

The Bone Melting Palm, a vicious Absolute Skill, had been passed down for thousands of years and had once stirred up a bloodbath in the martial arts world, making everyone who spoke of it pale with fear. True to its reputation, it was immensely powerful. When Ye Tianchen’s fist struck Li Qiushui’s right palm, he immediately felt a bone-penetrating corrosive force. However, he had no way out and this was not his style. Knowing full well the strength of this power, Ye Tianchen instantly elevated his realm to the peak and, disregarding the massive amount of Inner Strength he had already expended in Dual Cultivation with Dongfang Meng, he delivered the strongest Thunder Sky Fist he could muster at that moment, forcefully repelling Li Qiushui but also leaving him severely wounded.

"You actually withstood my Bone Melting Palm, who exactly are you?" Li Qiushui frowned, her curiosity piqued about Ye Tianchen’s background. The young man before her was incredibly strong—stronger than she had imagined. She feared that in less than two years, he might catch up to and surpass her.

"If you want the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, how about Dual Cultivation with me?" said Ye Tianchen with a mischievous smile on his lips.

Sometimes, one truly had to admire Ye Tianchen. Even in this situation, with Li Qiushui clearly stronger and himself severely injured, another strike would undoubtedly be fatal. Looking at Dongfang Meng, who still needed some time to reach the Great Success of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, Li Qiushui could kill them with just one more palm strike. Yet, Ye Tianchen could still joke with Li Qiushui, displaying a composure and calm that was remarkable for a man.

Li Qiushui glanced at Ye Tianchen. Her eyes, previously filled with murderous intent, flickered for a moment, a seductive and lascivious smile appearing on her lips as she provocatively twisted her hips, saying, "You’re pretty good, little junior sister chose you for Dual Cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture and she wasn’t wrong. I’m giving you a chance now—kill the little junior sister and follow me, I will give you a chance for Dual Cultivation..."

At that moment, Ye Tianchen felt he could barely hold on any longer. Already in the midst of Dual Cultivation with Dongfang Meng, most of his True Power was being utilized and absorbed by her. Having also forcibly executed a Thunder Sky Fist, his internal organs were bleeding profusely, and he was severely injured. He sat down cross-legged on the ground, placing Dongfang Meng beside him, his left hand still transferring energy to her.

"Nice face, nice breasts, nice ass, too bad I don’t take second-hand goods..." Ye Tianchen said with an innocuous smile.

Li Qiushui had thought that Ye Tianchen, in order to survive, would definitely agree to her demands, kill the junior sister, and then she could kill Ye Tianchen once she obtained the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. To her surprise, Ye Tianchen insulted her in such a manner, adding salt to her wounds—for she was at an age where she couldn’t sleep without a man, thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger!

"I’ve already given you a chance. You didn’t cherish it. Since that’s the case, die!"

As she spoke, Li Qiushui walked toward Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground. Her right hand still ached from clashing with Ye Tianchen’s palm just a moment ago. She had used ninety percent of her Bone Melting Palm Skill, an attack no one had dared to block nor had anyone ever made her arm ache. Ye Tianchen’s physical toughness was something Li Qiushui couldn’t even hope to achieve, so she had resolved to kill both the junior sister and Ye Tianchen at all costs. She was a ruthlessly venomous woman who would leave no looming threats behind her. (To be continued.
