"Life-stealing Divine Thought Kill!"

"This is one of the most powerful Killing Skills in our organization, and it has almost never failed."

"No one can escape this move, slaying a peer opponent is absolutely not a problem."

"Being able to die under this move, the kid can die smiling."

The remaining four black-clothed men from the "Blood Killing" organization, seeing their leader Sha Wuji unleash the "Life-stealing Divine Thought Kill," became very confident. After all, this move was well-known within the "Blood Killing" organization, a supreme skill passed down by the Great Elder, designed specifically to attack a person’s divine thought—utterly ruthless, meant to make sure the victim was eliminated cleanly. This was the reason for the creation of this absolute skill, and within the organization, only those selected as seed candidates were qualified to cultivate such a powerful Killing Skill.

The divine thought is a person’s most fundamental vital point, and once it’s injured, it’s very difficult to recover. If the divine thought is destroyed, then the person is completely obliterated, with no hope of resurrection. Therefore, the "Blood Killing" organization is known for their heartlessness, and this move, the "Life-stealing Divine Thought Kill," is similarly vicious and merciless.

Bang!

The black lightning that shot from Sha Wuji’s brow, which was the manifestation of his divine thought, was incredibly sharp and violent, relentlessly pursuing Ye Tianchen. Any object struck by this black lightning turned to ash and dispersed with the wind. Seeing this made Dongfang Meng extremely anxious, for Ye Tianchen kept dodging, evidently unable to find a way to destroy this black lightning at the moment.

"Tianchen, be careful..." Dongfang Meng shouted anxiously.

"Stay away from me, it’ll be okay," Ye Tianchen said solemnly.

Crack!

Dongfang Meng made her move. She did not want Ye Tianchen to be harmed. The two of them were in this together, bound to share life and death, an unspoken understanding between them. Although Ye Tianchen did not want Dongfang Meng to get involved, in her view, if something happened to Ye Tianchen, she would not be alright either, and she would also feel terrible. Thus, she resolutely acted, striking a palm towards Sha Wuji.

Sha Wuji was taken aback and frowned, "Ancient Tomb Sect’s palm technique, are you the Ancient Tomb Sect’s disciple, Dongfang Meng?"

Everyone knew that the Sect Leader Jing Ji of the Ancient Tomb Sect was gone, leaving behind only the beautiful Dongfang Meng, whose beauty could rival Qing Chengyue. Recognizing the palm technique Dongfang Meng used against him, Sha Wuji immediately realized that this beautiful woman, who was as pretty as a heavenly immortal, must be the Ancient Tomb Sect’s disciple, Dongfang Meng.

Confronted with Sha Wuji’s question, Dongfang Meng did not respond. Instead, she channeled the Jade Maiden True Power in her palm and struck with all her might towards Sha Wuji, hoping to restrain him so Ye Tianchen could concentrate fully on dealing with the divine thought killing intent.

Bang!

Dongfang Meng’s palm strike missed and did not hit Sha Wuji. Seeing such a powerful palm from Dongfang Meng, Sha Wuji did not dare to face it head on. He had been heavily injured by a punch from Ye Tianchen, and had damaged his own divine thought just to unleash the "Life-stealing Divine Thought Kill," paying such a severe price. If he couldn’t kill Ye Tianchen, Sha Wuji would die with everlasting regret.

"You want to save your beloved? It’s a pity he’s no match for me. I really want to see the Ancient Tomb Sect’s Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, so why don’t you just recite it obediently!" Sha Wuji said coldly to Dongfang Meng.

What Dongfang Meng hadn’t expected was that even with severe injuries, Sha Wuji could still dodge her attack. She wasn’t mistaken—members of the Blood Killing Organization were truly troublesome to deal with. This organization was a terror in the Ancient Martial World, and even long-established sects were reluctant to engage with them. Their disciples, each a top assassin meticulously trained to strike down experts, required not only robust strength but also formidable psychological fortitude.

No matter how Dongfang Meng attacked, Sha Wuji always managed to dodge, not daring to engage directly. Ye Tianchen had not yet perished, and Sha Wuji was astonished by Ye Tianchen’s strength. He had not expected Ye Tianchen’s combat ability to be so formidable, at least not inferior to that of a seed candidate from the "Blood Killing" organization, perhaps even stronger.

At this time, the remaining four black-clothed men from the "Blood Killing" organization had also cornered the masked woman. It seemed she was struggling to hold on, and it would not take more than ten moves before she was defeated. The situation was extremely unfavorable for Ye Tianchen and his allies. Ye Tianchen turned to look at Sha Wuji, then to the black lightning racing toward him—intense divine thought intent. To extinguish it, he would have to unleash divine thought power even more potent than it; otherwise, no other form of attack would be sufficient to block it.

With this in mind, Ye Tianchen suddenly had a bold, desperate idea. The masked woman could not hold on much longer, and while Dongfang Meng’s combat power was not weaker than Sha Wuji’s, she lacked Sha Wuji’s extensive combat experience. Members of the Blood Killing Organization may not be the strongest in terms of combat power, but their Killing Skills were each more bizarre and ruthless than the last; a slight carelessness could result in total annihilation.

In the next moment, Ye Tianchen suddenly stood his ground, motionless. The black lightning divine thought from Sha Wuji shot straight into Ye Tianchen’s brow. Instantly, black blood spilled from the corners of Ye Tianchen’s mouth, a sign of suffering great damage to his divine thought.

"Hahahaha, you’ve been hit by the Life-stealing Divine Thought Kill, no one can save you now!" Seeing his success, Sha Wuji roared with laughter.

"Tianchen..." Dongfang Meng also called out in urgent desperation.

Sha Wuji stood his ground, no longer attacking. He was pleased, arrogant, and self-satisfied. Ye Tianchen had wounded him, making him pay such a huge price—it was a tremendous humiliation for an elite, a seed player of the Blood Killing Organization. He was determined to kill Ye Tianchen at all costs.

Dongfang Meng was stunned, tears swirling in her eyes. As a martial artist, she naturally understood what it would mean for a martial artist’s Divine Thought to be attacked. Seeing Ye Tianchen in such agony, his entire body slowly dissipating as if turning to dust, she recalled every moment from the time she met Ye Tianchen to now. Dongfang Meng shed her tears of beauty.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen stood motionless, his body seemingly about to turn into ash. A dark light flickered continuously at his forehead, a sign of the severe attack on his Divine Thought. Inside Ye Tianchen’s mind, two Divine Thoughts were engaged in an intense struggle.

A black thunder-like Divine Thought, representing Sha Wuji’s supreme killing intent, had entered Ye Tianchen’s mind. Inside Ye Tianchen’s head, there was a golden thunder-like Divine Thought, which was Ye Tianchen’s Origin Divine Thought. When the black Divine Thought entered, it transformed into a Black Sword, slashing directly towards Ye Tianchen’s golden Divine Thought.

Hum!

The golden Divine Thought trembled, slowly morphing into a small golden figure. This was the result of Ye Tianchen using his Martial Arts True Power to transform his Divine Thought. As the Black Sword slashed down, the small golden figure produced a small golden orb in its right hand. Covered with various Scriptures, it hovered in mid-air, halting the descending Black Sword as well. Ye Tianchen let out a huge sigh of relief in his heart. If this risky move had not succeeded, he would have faced the fate of both soul and body being destroyed.

No one knew what turmoil was taking place inside Ye Tianchen’s mind. Dongfang Meng flew to Ye Tianchen’s side, wanting to rescue him, but not knowing how to proceed. Fearing she might make things worse, she could only cry anxiously.

"Little girl, you might as well stop crying. Recite the spell of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, and maybe I’ll let the two of you die together," said Sha Wuji coldly.

"If he dies, I will surely kill you to accompany him in death," Dongfang Meng said, clenching her fists tightly.

"Haha, such deep affection, but it’s a pity you’ve provoked me, Sha Wuji. You’re doomed!" Sha Wuji declared arrogantly.

Snap!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen brought his hands together in a prayer position. His body, which had been fading, burst forth with a golden light, scattering the black energy and startling everyone present.

"Ah... my head..."

Sha Wuji held his head in his hands, howling in pain. His powerful Divine Thought had been extinguished by Ye Tianchen. His Divine Thought was not as strong as Ye Tianchen’s, but how could Ye Tianchen exhibit a move stronger than his own Divine Thought when he had been powerless just moments ago?

Whoosh!

Immediately after, a golden light slashed from Ye Tianchen’s head, swiftly decapitating Sha Wuji. A column of blood shot skyward, and Sha Wuji’s head rolled to the side, his eyes filled with terror as he watched Ye Tianchen approach. He knew his end had come; if all Divine Thoughts in his head were extinguished, Sha Wuji would cease to exist in this world, completely disappearing into the cosmos.

"Vajra, Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, you... you’ve learned the Absolute Skill marked above in Yijin Jing?" Sha Wuji asked with a voice filled with terror.

"You don’t need to know anymore. Someone like you must die!" Ye Tianchen said indifferently.

"No, do you know who I am? Do you know how formidable the Blood Killing Organization is? If you kill me, you will regret it..." Sha Wuji exclaimed in fear, realizing by Ye Tianchen’s expressionless face that he was facing a God of Killings who feared neither heaven nor earth. He was finished.

"If all members of the Blood Killing Organization are as arrogant and bully the weak like you, I will eradicate the entire Blood Killing Organization," Ye Tianchen continued calmly.

The remaining four assassins in black, who had been surrounding the masked woman, were also stunned. They had not foreseen such a turn of events. Even Sha Wuji’s Life-taking Divine Thought Kill had failed to extinguish Ye Tianchen. Now, as Sha Wuji’s head lay on the ground, just the last bit of Divine Thought needed to be destroyed for him to be truly dead.

"What are you standing there for? Save me!" Sha Wuji’s head turned, shouting loudly at the remaining four men in black.

The four assassins snapped to their senses, each wielding a Black Sword as they charged at Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen’s right hand swiftly produced the Taie Sword, wielding the immense Power of Might. An extremely fierce Sword Qi struck out, cutting the four assassins in half at the waist. Immediately after, Ye Tianchen lifted his right foot, stomping down towards Sha Wuji’s head...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com.
