Chapter 733: Chapter 732: [Battle with the Leader of the Five Poison Seven Sons]

At this moment, a pressing killing intent surged from Ye Tianchen’s entire being. His injuries had completely healed, and in the eyes of Tianshuang and Zhang Ruotong, he had greatly improved. Without any reservation, regardless of whether Dongfang Meng was alive or dead, he was determined to find her.

Boom!

The entire deep gorge trembled. After the Divine Calculation succumbed, the gorge where the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect was located still had its defensive formation, but its level had greatly declined. The power the Divine Calculation had infused into it was gone. One could say that the defensive formation of this deep gorge had become a broken array, no longer as impregnable as when the Divine Calculation was there.

"Not good, someone is attacking our Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect!" Tianshuang couldn’t help frowning as she spoke.

"Hmph, a bunch of ants, all of you, get out! Do you think you can hide?" Quan Li’s voice rang out from outside, filled with arrogance and insolence, relentlessly striking at the broken array within the deep gorge.

"It’s Quan Li, the leader of the Five Poison Seven Sons. He has been pursuing me all the way here. His strength and cultivation are at the Mid Martial Venerate level, the same as yours. You can’t take this lightly!" Tianshuang warned Ye Tianchen.

"I will not kill him. I must first ensure Dongfang Meng’s safety!"

Having said this, Ye Tianchen had already vanished from the spot. Tianshuang and Zhang Ruotong glanced at each other and also followed out of the deep gorge. After all, they were disciples of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, and they absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to bully their way in, even after the Divine Calculation had passed away. It was a great insult to the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect.

At this moment, Quan Li was on the outskirts of the deep gorge, his face covered in fresh blood, his eyes bloodshot and filled with intense killing intent. Wielding his Black Great Sword, he continuously struck, attacking the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect’s defensive formation, wishing he could destroy it with a single blow.

Quan Li had reached the pinnacle of arrogance, unaware that it was the Divine Calculation who had rescued Tianshuang and Ye Tianchen. When he charged to the outskirts of the deep gorge and swung his sword, he was repelled, not even a single piece of the gorge’s shattered stones fell, and he nearly lost his life. Yet, oblivious to the danger and retreat, primarily due to his excessive arrogance, he charged back and continued his onslaught on the deep gorge.

With the Divine Calculation gone, the defensive formation’s power at the deep gorge had weakened significantly. Under Quan Li’s attacks, it trembled continuously, giving him the sense of an opportunity. If he could just break in, he planned to kill everyone inside—that was Quan Li’s mindset at that moment.

Tianshuang had only reached the cultivation of an Early Stage Martial Venerate, no match for Quan Li, otherwise, they wouldn’t have nearly lost their lives alongside Ye Tianchen previously. Although Zhang Ruotong had been taught some Martial Arts cultivation by Zhang Yide back in the Mortal World, she had little exposure to it and was only somewhat stronger than the average person. As for the other two child disciples of the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect, they definitely couldn’t join the battle, so the only one who could save the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect and fight Quan Li was none other than Ye Tianchen.

"Dare to injure me, Quan Li, you die!" Quan Li let out another roar, and the Black Great Sword appeared in his right hand. With a whoosh, he swung it down, releasing a slash of black Sword Qi tinged with poisonous gas.

Bang!

There was a loud explosion, and Quan Li frowned. He was then struck with horror to see the black Sword Qi he had slashed down blasted apart by someone. Simultaneously, a golden figure dashed out from the deep gorge—from distance to proximity at an extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, this golden figure had already reached Quan Li’s front.

Boom!

A golden fist burst forth and Quan Li was momentarily stunned. The power of this punch was immense; had he taken it head-on, he would have been seriously injured. He immediately retreated a few steps and slashed with his sword, hoping to scatter the golden fist.

Unexpectedly, just when Quan Li’s sword met the attack, the golden fist suddenly increased in size several times over, crushing his Sword Qi and bearing down with immense pressure.

Bang, thud!

Quan Li was forced back dozens of meters by the golden fist. It had to be said that his combat power was very strong, having once contended with Du Wanli. He was not famous for nothing, almost becoming the Saint Heir of the Five Poison Sect—his strength and cultivation could not be poor. He barely dodged the golden fist and coldly watched what lay ahead.

"It’s you? You sure are hard to kill!" Quan Li said, somewhat surprised to see Ye Tianchen.

"As long as I live, you’ll be the one to die. Where is Dongfang Meng?" Ye Tianchen’s right hand flashed with golden light, and he watched Quan Li with cold eyes as he asked.

"I’ve already killed him, what can you do to me?" Quan Li said disdainfully.

"Die!" Ye Tianchen uttered the word "die" indifferently, taking big strides towards Quan Li without any display of Divine Arts or Absolute Skills. He simply wanted to kill him with a single punch. If Dongfang Meng had died, Ye Tianchen would definitely slaughter the Five Poison Seven Sons and ensure the Five Poison Sect completely disappeared from Earth.

"Hahaha, how ridiculous, how ridiculous! You’re merely at the Mid Martial Venerate stage of cultivation, and you dare say you will kill me? Are you worthy? You’ve just recovered and you dare to come here seeking death? I’ll grant your wish!" Quan Li laughed loudly, gazing at Ye Tianchen with utter scorn.

In Quan Li’s view, he and Ye Tianchen were both at the Mid Martial Venerate stage of cultivation, so it was impossible for Ye Tianchen to overwhelm him. Moreover, Ye Tianchen had just recovered from near-fatal injuries, so his combat strength couldn’t have returned to its peak, and he was certainly no match for Quan Li. That’s why Quan Li didn’t take Ye Tianchen seriously and assumed that it would take no more than ten moves for Ye Tianchen to fall under his sword.

Boom!

Ye Tianchen had nothing more to say. He was not a boastful person but had considerable confidence in his combat strength. With an unbeatable Taoist Heart, nothing could shake his resolve. And with that, he threw a punch at Quan Li.

With a cold laugh, Quan Li stood his ground, sword in hand, and declared, "I need only ten moves to have you kneeling and begging for mercy!"

Whoosh!

Fist glow met sword qi, erupting into a massive flame. Ye Tianchen didn’t stop, continuing forward with big, determined strides towards Quan Li. He didn’t use one of the three Ancient Divine Swords. Instead, relying on his iron fists, he wanted to defeat Quan Li with his bare hands.

Thump, thump, thump... Ye Tianchen attacked, unleashing ten punches in quick succession. The Martial Arts True Power within him surged violently, impacting continuously, causing even Quan Li to frown. At this moment, Quan Li sensed that although Ye Tianchen was merely at the Mid Martial Venerate cultivation level, the actual combat strength he displayed far exceeded this realm, which puzzled him. Logically, a person’s combat strength should match their cultivation realm. How could Ye Tianchen have combat strength that exceeded his cultivation level?

Quan Li had no time to ponder further. The ten full-powered punches from Ye Tianchen quickly enveloped him. Ten golden dragons charged, shocking Quan Li so much that he tried to dodge, but it was already too late. He could only continuously swing his sword, creating a flurry of sword flowers.

Bang!

The golden fist glow and the black sword qi exploded, and Quan Li burst forth, his clothes torn and several parts of his skin split open, bleeding profusely. He glared savagely at Ye Tianchen, as if he wanted to devour him whole.

Ye Tianchen also frowned. He was currently using the "Vajra Divine Fist," which complemented the "Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill." Like the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, when it reached the small success stage, it could easily overpower martial artists of the same realm without any trouble; it was virtually invincible among peers. Upon reaching great success, it allowed for fighting across different cultivation realms, and the Vajra Divine Fist was no different. The Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill provided only strong defensive divine arts, but the Vajra Divine Fist was the true art of killing.

The reason Ye Tianchen didn’t use the Divine Sword to cut down Quan Li after healing was that he wanted to test the extent of his "Vajra Divine Fist." Now, it seemed it had not yet reached the small success stage; otherwise, Quan Li wouldn’t have emerged alive. The Yijin Jing detailed seventy-two profound Divine Arts and Absolute Skills, each deep and unfathomable, difficult to understand. Although Ye Tianchen seemed to comprehend them quickly, he knew he had grasped only the merest trifle. Truly mastering any one of these Divine Arts would be world-shaking, with an utterly different might when displayed.

"It’s my first time encountering someone who can exert combat strength beyond their cultivation realm," Quan Li screamed almost madly, mainly because he had made bold claims, not taking Ye Tianchen seriously, saying he would kill Ye Tianchen within ten punches. Now the tables had turned, and Ye Tianchen had attacked him for ten punches and even wounded him. Where did his face go?

Tianshuang and Dongfang Meng also arrived at the scene to find Ye Tianchen already engaged with Quan Li, who was injured. They were amazed, as Ye Tianchen’s combat strength had truly made a leap, dominating many martial artists of the same cultivation realm.

"Poison Scorpion Sword, I offer a blood sacrifice!"

Quan Li shouted furiously. In a frenzy, he cut off his own left arm with the Black Great Sword in his right hand, sacrificing his left limb to increase his power to kill Ye Tianchen, resorting to such a self-mutilating method, wondering what kind of ruthless technique he sought to use that demanded such a price.

Splat!

A cloud of blood mist burst forth as Quan Li slashed off his left arm. He raised the Black Great Sword in his right hand, and as the severed limb exploded into a blood mist, it all sprayed onto the Black Great Sword, which immediately shattered to reveal a colossal Poison Scorpion eclipsing the sky in front of Ye Tianchen. Its cold, menacing eyes were intimidating. As for Quan Li, he had already flown onto the back of the Poison Scorpion, his mouth curving into a venomous smile. (To be continued.
