Chapter 423: 422

Li Qiushui, throughout the final duel between Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang, to the subsequent drinking, and then to the swearing of brotherhood, had continuously and secretly been stimulating her True Force to gradually unblock her acupoints. Tian Boguang’s cultivation was at the early stage of Martial Venerate, barely reaching the mid-stage, whereas Ye Tianchen’s cultivation, if described in terms of the Martial Artist Realm, was at the late-stage peak of Martial King, still a whisker away from a breakthrough, with a definite gap between them. He was able to fight a great battle with Tian Boguang because his Superpower Skill was unique, and he possessed the strength to fight across levels. However, Li Qiushui’s cultivation strength was at the mid-stage Martial Venerate, which was an issue even a fool could consider. The further one advances in cultivation, the stronger one becomes, and even a small difference in level represents a chasm as vast as that between heaven and earth. Hence, when Ye Tianchen forcibly clashed with Li Qiushui, he was immediately sent flying, his entire right arm frozen stiff, looking absolutely ghastly.

"Brother, quickly dispel this cold energy, this is the Bone Melting Palm, you cannot be careless!" At this time, Tian Boguang also became serious. This great lecher was usually fearless, but he was well aware that Li Qiushui, the female devil, was a merciless killer with profound cultivation, and her Bone Melting Palm was extremely vicious. Now that she had unblocked her acupoints, a big battle was inevitable.

Ye Tianchen frowned, indeed feeling as if his bone marrow had been frozen stiff. If it were not for his flesh being tempered to a certain degree of toughness, unlike ordinary cultivators, this right arm might already have been rendered useless.

"You two lowlives, today you both must die!" Li Qiushui growled through clenched teeth, her eyes bloodshot with a murderous look, her palms already brimming with a cold that signalled the presence of death. The power of the Bone Melting Palm was unmistakably on display.

"When it comes to being cheap, who can compete with you, Li Qiushui? In your current state, you’re not just a bit trashy, but also a bit piggy," Ye Tianchen belched after a drink, provocatively speaking in a playful manner, showing no fear of Li Qiushui. This surprised even Tian Boguang, who wondered if the young man intended to infuriate Li Qiushui to the point of explosion.

Boom!

Li Qiushui struck down towards Ye Tianchen’s head with a palm, the deathly aura of the Bone Melting Palm surging and enveloping the entire stone chamber. Its speed and strength were unbelievable. However, at that moment, Tian Boguang had already grabbed Ye Tianchen’s arm and dashed away like lightning. With Tian Boguang’s Divine Movement Skill at play, injuring them was difficult. This was why Tian Boguang could escape unscathed when pursued by true masters; the Divine Movement Skill was indeed an incredibly useful trick.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

With her palm missing its target, Li Qiushui was naturally unwilling to give up. She, a woman feared by all, would usually make others quail at the mere mention of her name; they wouldn’t dare tease her. Only Tian Boguang dared to lust after her, and Ye Tianchen had beaten her into a pig’s head. This irreconcilable enmity between them was a matter of life and death. Therefore, Li Qiushui unleashed palm strikes with frightening force, each one, whether hitting the stone wall or the ground, leaving deep palm imprints, impressing even Tian Boguang and Ye Tianchen with blood stains, making clear that this female devil was indeed cruel and ruthless, and making her Bone Melting Palm an attack that no one dared to receive lightly.

"Tian Boguang, Ye Tianchen, the two of you actually consorting with each other, what a big joke for the Ancient Martial World!" Li Qiushui’s venomous voice, ghostly in its harshness, echoed inside the stone chamber, but her palm attacks did not stop for a moment.

"We are birds of a feather!" Tian Boguang said loudly.

"Great minds think alike!" Ye Tianchen also intentionally posed as he spoke.

Pushed to the brink, Li Qiushui laughed maniacally and said, "Ye Tianchen, you and my junior sister Dongfang Meng have already performed Dual Cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. You are her man, and you have also joined the Ancient Tomb Sect. This is an undeniable truth. Now, to think that you actually became sworn brothers with this great lecher, Tian Boguang, it is indeed laughable. I suspect, starting from now, it won’t just be Tian Boguang the lecher who will be hunted by the other Ancient Martial Sects, but also you, Ye Tianchen. I’d like to see how you die without even realizing it!"

"Really? You think I, Ye Tianchen, would be afraid? Let me tell you the truth, I, Ye Tianchen, always adhere to my own principles and refuse to be constrained by anyone. Even the Heavenly King cannot sway my will!" Ye Tianchen said disdainfully.

"Very well, I shall send the two of you to the Western Heaven!"

All of a sudden, Li Qiushui vibrated her hands, and the small stone chamber filled with the deathly aura of the Bone Melting Palm. Shocked, both Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang hesitated, sensing a crisis from this woman who seemed to have gone insane, her strength explosively increasing.

If Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang believed they could suppress Li Qiushui by joining forces, they initially thought so too. But now, they weren’t so sure anymore. At this moment, Li Qiushui, in her frenzy, was determined to kill them both at any cost, and they hesitated to engage her at her most formidable.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Li Qiushui made her move. From her ten fingers, she unleashed waves of chilling energy so intense that it froze the air and ripped apart space itself, emitting an ashen breath of death. Tian Boguang and Ye Tianchen were caught by surprise and hastily dodged. The ash-colored finger energy struck the stone wall, piercing through the incredibly hard surface and leaving black, fathomless holes—terrifying to behold.

"You can’t escape... Bone Melting Nine Yin Finger!"

Li Qiushui let out another ghostly shriek, her hands transforming from palms to claws, skeletal and bloodless as if the flesh had been stripped away, appearing utterly horrendous, drenched in blood and gruesomely fierce. Such a sight would have scared anyone to death, let alone when in an instant, Li Qiushui’s hands grew immensely large, looking as though only the bones remained.

"Whoa, her hands look like they’ve been gnawed on by a dog!" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help blurting out.

"Forget it, if she used those hands to jerk me off, I’d end up spraying her in the face uncontrollably!" Tian Boguang said with unrestrained lewdness.

"You’re going to die!" Li Qiushui erupted in anger, nearly spitting blood from the infuriating comments of Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang. She lashed out with her claw, enshrouded by a miasma of Yin Qi and an aura of death.

"This is bad, we can’t block it, the Bone Melting Palm is too venomous. And now, she’s pushed it to its limits—he who touches it, dies!" Tian Boguang frowned and said.

"Run, or all that’s left is to wait for death!" Ye Tianchen said with a stunned expression.

Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang had become sworn brothers by a fluke, one was the infamous big lecher Tian Boguang, a notorious figure constantly hunted throughout the Ancient Martial World, inherently unreliable. And the other? It was Ye Tianchen who had been reborn from an apocalyptic world, bearing the dual personality of the Death God and a rogue, completely averse to restrictions, impulsive by nature. What about the Ancient Martial Sect? Even if all the Sects in the Ancient Martial World were hostile and pursued him, Ye Tianchen would still do as he pleased. In his own words, not even the Heavenly King Laozi commanded his respect, let alone others.

These two sworn brothers could stir up countless ludicrous incidents within the Ancient Martial World. Now, their nonsensical conversation gave a glimpse into their antics.

"You won’t get away. I will turn you both into pus and blood, eat your flesh, and drink your blood!" Li Qiushui’s hands were as white as bones as she lunged at them, becoming the very image of a female devil—long hair flying wildly, a ghastly complexion, spectral, and malevolent. Her left hand suddenly stretched out to block the shattered stone wall, preventing Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang from escaping.

"This woman can be quite terrifying when she gets ruthless. Could she end up going mad from her own power and die?" Ye Tianchen said coolly as he watched the scene unfold.

"It’s possible. But saying she wants to drink our blood and eat our flesh... that’s a pretty strong taste. My old skin and flesh might taste sour!" Tian Boguang said, laughing composedly.

Hearing the dialogue between Tian Boguang and Ye Tianchen once more, Li Qiushui was almost driven to spewing blood in anger. Those two were just too detestable; she had to kill them. Having practiced the Bone Melting Palm to the Ninth Level and her Cultivation Strength nearing the Mid Martial Venerate stage, almost breaching to the Late Stage Peak, she dominated much of the Ancient Martial World. Unless she faced the ultimate masters of those Sects, she could maintain her life even if she couldn’t defeat them. She thought that re-entering her Sect to steal the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture would be straightforward, with absolute confidence and strength. But ever since she encountered Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng in the ice cellar, it was as if Li Qiushui had been dogged by bad luck—still unable to get hold of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture and suffering unprecedented humiliation. It was as if Li Qiushui was cursed, the mere thought enough to stir an urge to vomit blood.

"Die!"

With a ghostly scream, Li Qiushui amassed her Bone Melting Palm to its utmost strength, reaching the Ninth Level. Her whole figure, with hair and sleeves fluttering, a ghastly white face, and blood dripping from her claw-like hands bared to the bone, appeared as if she had succumbed to demonic possession, lunging at Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang.

At this moment, both Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang furrowed their brows, their words casual and calm but their expressions darkened when Li Qiushui’s right hand came clawing down. They each mustered their strongest combat power to counter the attack!

"Thunder Sky Fist!"

"Fast Sword Skill!"

Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang each let out a shout, Ye Tianchen with a punch and Tian Boguang with the chopping energy of an axe, both colliding with the ghostly pale bony hand of Li Qiushui...(To be continued.
