Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Chapter 364 Dongfang Meng’s talents, wisdom, beauty, and physique were in no way inferior to Qing Chengyue, at least in Ye Tianchen’s opinion.

The reason Qing Chengyue was stronger than Dongfang Meng was because Qing Chengyue had practiced the complete Internal Cultivation Methods of the Ancient Martial Sect, while Dongfang Meng’s cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture from the Ancient Tomb Sect was always missing the final layer. Without cultivating that last layer, she couldn’t reach Great Perfection.

In terms of Inner Strength, Dongfang Meng was always somewhat inferior to Qing Chengyue, which was, of course, an objective factor, and defeat was defeat.

It wasn’t just Qing Chengyue who was alarmed. Even Ye Tianchen had begun to admire Dongfang Meng. This woman’s persistence and strength were truly rare. She knew full well that her strength was inferior to Qing Chengyue’s and that continuing to fight would undoubtedly lead to her death, yet she fought with a mindset accepting of certain death, striving to surpass Qing Chengyue for her master’s wish to establish the Martial Arts Alliance and reduce the chaos and bloodshed in the martial world.

Without having practiced the complete Internal Cultivation Methods of the Ancient Martial Sect, to be able to injure Qing Chengyue to such an extent, Dongfang Meng was absolutely the first!

Once upon a time, many years ago, people had compared Qing Chengyue of the Yaochi Sect and Dongfang Meng of the Ancient Tomb Sect, whether it was looks, physique, or strength because both were acclaimed as the most beautiful women of the Ancient Martial Sects, invariably inviting comparisons as if it were a beauty contest.

Of course, in terms of reputation, Qing Chengyue was still more renowned. Many years ago, it was rumored in the Yaochi Sect that Qing Chengyue was a rare martial prodigy of the Ancient Martial Sects, seen once in hundreds of years. At just over twenty years old, she had mastered the entire Extinction Scripture and deeply understood various Martial Arts Skills of the Yaochi Sect. Her achievements were consistently regarded as surpassing those of her master, Master of Extinction.

Qing Chengyue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and coldly looked at Dongfang Meng, saying,

"It will be daybreak soon, I won’t hold back anymore. It’s time to end this!"

"I knew you weren’t using your full strength, but I want to tell you, I too have one last move!" Dongfang Meng fiercely said to Qing Chengyue.

It was utterly insane. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but click his tongue. These two women were too crazy. Such beautiful women had reached the extreme of madness. After a world-shaking battle of overwhelming forces, Dongfang Meng was more injured than Qing Chengyue, but Qing Chengyue too was wounded, albeit not gravely due to her strength. Yet, both women still had the strength for one more battle, which was incredibly impressive, only describable as insane.

Ye Tianchen had been watching the duel between the four beauties of the Ancient Martial Sects since the beginning, gaining much practical experience in Martial Arts Skills while also deeply yearning to learn the Absolute Skills of the Ancient Martial Sects. They were truly formidable. If he could learn the Absolute Skills of the Ancient Martial Sects and combine them with his strong Superpower Skills, he might even create new moves capable of devastating destruction.

"Then let me see this last move of yours..."

Qing Chengyue was also fired up, having fought Dongfang Meng for so long and still not having been able to defeat her. That Dongfang Meng, without practicing the complete Internal Cultivation Methods of the Ancient Martial Sects had managed to severely injure her, felt like a disgrace in her history of combat.

This time, Qing Chengyue unleashed a very powerful force, giving an impression of obliterating everything, and like a flash of lightning, she rushed towards Dongfang Meng, aiming a palm strike at her chest.

Dongfang Meng revealed a bitter smile. She was not as strong as Qing Chengyue; Qing Chengyue was indeed too powerful and formidable. Holding on until this point had already been incredibly difficult for her. Now, this final move would end her life with its release.

Ye Tianchen stood by, watching everything unfold. Through his Superpower Perception, he could sense a fluctuating energy within Dongfang Meng, so pure and unfathomable, with a hint of a celestial aura, something one usually couldn’t sense. He frowned, unsure of what was happening.

"I don’t want to kill you, but we stand in different places!"

Qing Chengyue tightened her brows, evidently not wanting to kill Dongfang Meng, but she had to follow her master’s orders.

"Jade... Maiden... Flying... Immortal..." Dongfang Meng gasped out these words.

Suddenly, a gentle glow burst forth from within Dongfang Meng, instantly neutralizing Qing Chengyue’s palm strike, and enveloping Qing Chengyue within it. In her desperation, Qing Chengyue didn’t understand why this anomaly was occurring and kept unleashing palm strikes with surging Inner Strength, strong enough to shatter anything. However, she couldn’t break free from the gentle glow that surrounded her. Dongfang Meng, extremely weakened, smiled slightly as she watched Qing Chengyue’s struggle to escape.

"Jade Maiden Flying Immortal is a forbidden martial art of our Ancient Tomb Sect. Once it is executed, both the practitioner and the enemy will vanish as if they had never existed in this world. It creates a scene of a maiden ascending to immortality, which is why it is named Jade Maiden Flying Immortal!"

At that moment, Ye Tianchen was also incredibly amazed. No wonder it was called Jade Maiden Flying Immortal. He felt something was off about Dongfang Meng. It turned out that when she executed the ’Jade Maiden Dance Sky’, Dongfang Meng was already gathering the most original strength inside her body, preparing to use the ’Jade Maiden Flying Immortal’. Once used, it would drain the essence energy of the user’s body, killing the enemy but also costing the practitioner their life. It was a technique that ensured mutual destruction.

"I never expected your Ancient Tomb Sect to have such an absolute skill. It truly broadens my horizon!"

Boom!

Qing Chengyue could not be deemed anything but formidable. Faced with such a powerful Slaughter Skill, she still refused to accept defeat, fiercely punching the barrier almost breaking through. At that time, Dongfang Meng’s lips were bleeding, and her body swayed as if she could no longer hold herself up. Slowly, she extended her right index finger and faintly said:

"Break..."

Unfortunately, Dongfang Meng had only uttered the word "break" before she collapsed on the ground, unable to support her body or stand against Qing Chengyue any longer. The very moment she fell, the barrier that had surrounded Qing Chengyue, which Qing Chengyue couldn’t break regardless of how she hit it, suddenly dissipated.

"You no longer have the strength to use that move, yet you still wanted to force it. In the end, it’s all in vain!"

Qing Chengyue also took a deep breath. She hadn’t expected Dongfang Meng to possess such a powerful Slaughter Skill, which almost killed her as well. This woman, as her enemy, had truly put a lot of pressure on Qing Chengyue.

Dongfang Meng had wanted to die together with Qing Chengyue by using the Ancient Tomb Sect’s forbidden Absolute Skill "Jade Maiden Flying Immortal", but because her physical strength couldn’t support her, she hadn’t succeeded. Otherwise, by now, both of them might have already been dead.

Looking at Dongfang Meng, who lay on the ground barely breathing, she had sustain the most severe injuries from the beginning of the fight with Qing Chengyue. Afterwards, she had forcibly exerted the most original strength inside her body to use "Jade Maiden Flying Immortal". She had pushed herself to the brink of death; her survival was almost impossible.

"You’ve lost your fighting ability. I really don’t want to do this, but I cannot defy the orders of my master..."

Qing Chengyue shook her head. She admired Dongfang Meng as an opponent, yet she had no choice. This was simply a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Not just within the Ancient Martial Sects where constant strife occurred, but everywhere involving conflicts and killings. Being merciful to an enemy could, one day, turn into cruelty against oneself.

With a strike, Qing Chengyue aimed at Dongfang Meng’s heart, intending to finish her off completely, leaving no chance for survival. Just as Qing Chengyue’s hand was about to hit Dongfang Meng’s chest, a hand caught her wrist, preventing her from striking further.

After a moment of surprise, Qing Chengyue instantly turned around and attacked. Her movements were rapid, alternating between palm and fist strikes. She knew someone had come to save Dongfang Meng, and it was a man, but she didn’t know who it was. And now, anyone who appeared was a target, something Qing Chengyue was clear about; no further accidents could occur.

Boom, boom, boom... The forest resonated once again with the sounds of fierce combat as Qing Chengyue and the man exchanged blows, clashing over a hundred times in moments.

When Qing Chengyue finally repelled the man, she furrowed her brows and stared at the man smiling teasingly at her. She had no recollection of him, wondering who this man was who could be so formidable. She had struck with full force, without holding anything back, with tremendous and swift palm power, yet this man could dodge and counterattack. It was truly remarkable. Could he be a master from another Ancient Martial Sect?

The one who intervened to save Dongfang Meng was naturally Ye Tianchen. In this forest, there was no fourth person present. He had been watching the fight all along. Seeing Qing Chengyue move to kill Dongfang Meng, Ye Tianchen rushed over at top speed to stop her. What he hadn’t anticipated was Qing Chengyue’s formidable prowess. She attacked him almost without a moment’s hesitation, launching into a fight that was like a full-scale battle, catching Ye Tianchen somewhat off-guard.

In this situation, Ye Tianchen had no choice but to counter with his "Handsome Punch" and engage Qing Chengyue in an intense fight, even though he couldn’t overcome her. This woman was incredibly powerful; even injured, she was terrifyingly formidable.

Ye Tianchen definitely couldn’t just watch Dongfang Meng die; otherwise, he couldn’t explain it to the highest leader. Moreover, Ye Tianchen always kept his word; a true man should be firm and decisive. But having provoked Qing Chengyue, he found himself somewhat at his wits’ end. He knew this woman was not easy to deal with, especially having provoked her!

Alas, an unavoidable battle was set to unfold! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
