Chapter 417: Chapter 416 Thud!

Swoosh!

Thud!

Ye Tianchen knew his cultivation was no match for Tian Boguang, this debaucher was shameless and lustful, yet his martial prowess was astonishingly strong, leaving one rather speechless. As Ye Tianchen forced open the lid of the stone coffin, strategies raced through his mind. Dongfang Meng and Li Qiushui were both incapacitated with their acupoints sealed, unable to offer any help. With Tian Boguang being no fool but rather cunning, Ye Tianchen realized he had to take things one step at a time if he hoped to somehow deceive Tian Boguang and rescue Dongfang Meng. The most important thing was not to allow Tian Boguang any extra time or energy, or Dongfang Meng would be in danger.

The signature skill that made Tian Boguang famous was his Fast Sword Skill. With an ordinary cleaver, he achieved a miraculous level of mastery. His blade skill was incredibly fast. Ye Tianchen wielded the Xuanyuan Sword, but it was a pity he could not unleash its full power; otherwise, Tian Boguang would not have stood a chance. Forced to use it as a common sword, Ye Tianchen was sent flying the first time he crossed blades with Tian Boguang. Yet he knew he could not stop or show weakness; if Tian Boguang lost interest, it would spell danger for Dongfang Meng.

Frankly, with Tian Boguang’s strength, coupled with his Fast Sword Skill and Divine Movement Skill, killing Ye Tianchen would have been an effortless task. Even if Ye Tianchen resorted to his powerful Superpower Skill at a critical moment, at best he could only protect himself, but couldn’t save Dongfang Meng. Therefore, in this matter, resorting to force was useless; the key lay in outsmarting the opponent.

Time and again came the sounds of flesh being sliced open, blood spraying. Tian Boguang’s cleaver repeatedly slashed across Ye Tianchen’s body, with each strike leaving a new cut, making Ye Tianchen grimace with pain. Yet, he did not stop for even a moment, using all his might to attack and kill Tian Boguang.

Splat!

Clang!

Ye Tianchen stood rooted to the spot, motionless, because the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand had been knocked away. Tian Boguang’s cleaver was now at his throat, and with the slightest exertion of force, the blade could take Ye Tianchen’s life.

"Your Cross Sword Skill is a pile of dogshit, isn’t it? My Fast Sword Skill is much more powerful, right?" Tian Boguang taunted Ye Tianchen.

"Hmph, my Cross Sword Skill is profound and vast; how could someone of your intellect comprehend it? It’s just that I’ve recently created it and there are still some aspects I have not fully understood. Otherwise, you would have been dead by my sword by now. At the moment, you’re just taking advantage of me, catching me before my Cross Sword Skill is perfected. Even if I lose, just kill me!" Ye Tianchen, seizing an idea, sneered disdainfully at Tian Boguang.

Truthfully, the competition between Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang was solely a contest of swordsmanship and blade skill. Despite knowing that even with his powerful Superpower Skill, he might not be able to defeat Tian Boguang – after all, the man’s Divine Movement Skill was unrivaled, able to traverse ten thousand meters in the blink of an eye, something not just anybody could catch up to – and in the small chamber of stone, using a powerful Superpower Killing Skill could harm Dongfang Meng, who couldn’t move due to her sealed acupoints. As for Li Qiushui, Ye Tianchen very much wanted to slap this woman dead with one palm.

"I’m taking advantage? You’re quite the tough talker, kid. Alright, I’ll give you half a day to perfect your whatever Cross Sword Skill. After all, I’m a long-renowned senior. If I were to bicker with a youngster like you, and word got out, it would tarnish the honorable name of Tian Boguang!" Tian Boguang put away the cleaver in his right hand and looked at Ye Tianchen with amusement, laughing as he spoke.

Watching Tian Boguang move to the side, Ye Tianchen immediately sat down cross-legged on the ground. Although his knife wounds were not serious, they could hamper his movements to some extent. He realized that although Tian Boguang was a lecher, he wasn’t a murderous demon. Compared with Li Qiushui, Tian Boguang was infinitely better, so Ye Tianchen thought that as long as he found a way to make Tian Boguang lose, the man would definitely not act shamelessly. Tian Boguang may be lustful, but he wasn’t known for breaking promises. Otherwise, Tian Boguang would not have shown mercy under his blade after Ye Tianchen’s repeated tests; he would have killed him long ago.

"Allow me to speak frankly, who doesn’t know the name of the great debaucher, Tian Boguang? I don’t think you have any honor worth mentioning, at most it’s just infamy!" Ye Tianchen said bluntly.

Tian Boguang glanced at Ye Tianchen and tossed the cleaver behind his back, laughing as he said:

"You’re not wrong, kid. My greatest passion in this life has been women, and it’s destined I’ll die atop one," Tian Boguang began, "so I thought of taking you as my disciple to pass on my Fast Sword Skill and Divine Movement Skill. You’re so young yet your cultivation is high, and you’re smart, with good comprehension. I believe your future achievements will even surpass my own. If you can score those so-called righteous sects’ female disciples and mistresses, that would make me very happy!"

"Even the mistresses? Isn’t your taste a bit too... heavy? I can still accept the female disciples. Although like you, I do have a thing for women, my taste is relatively normal. Just now, coming out of the stone coffin, I hid for too long. Besides, you surely can’t handle those two women alone. If you don’t share one with me, I’ll have to really go at it with you!" Ye Tianchen looked at Tian Boguang, speechless.

By now, Ye Tianchen had gained some understanding of the lustful thief Tian Boguang. The guy was strong, definitely beyond his own ability to defeat, but he wasn’t inhuman—just lecherous. Compared to a great demon like Li Qiushui, Tian Boguang was still straightforward and tough.

Ye Tianchen spoke this way to make Tian Boguang feel they were kindred spirits, both exceptionally fond of the company of women. Ye Tianchen knew that for many years, Tian Boguang had been hunted and was notorious, a target for all, surely he had no friends, nor anyone who shared his interests. Although among the common society and the disciples of the Ancient Martial Sects there were plenty of lechers, they all hid it well, very hypocritical, never showing it openly. So this was likely to make Tian Boguang lower his guard.

"With that little skill of yours, you want to compete with me, Tian Boguang, for women? You really don’t know how to live," Tian Boguang said, though a lecherous smile crept onto his face.

"Damn it, you call yourself a professional lecher, yet your insights are so limited? As a lecher, you must be willing to share with your brothers. Otherwise, what fun is it to have women all alone? There’s no exchange, what’s the point?" Ye Tianchen griped with exasperation.

"Yo, so you’re saying, kid, that when it comes to women, you’ve got more insight than I do, Tian Boguang? I’d like to see what insights you’ve got!" Tian Boguang said, clearly unconvinced.

Hearing Tian Boguang’s words, Ye Tianchen chuckled inwardly, but maintained his composure, sat cross-legged on the ground, placed the Xuanyuan Sword beside him, and began to circulate his Inner Strength in secret. He combined it with the gentle force left in his body by Zhang Ruotong to quickly heal his injuries. His cultivation was inherently less profound in the Ancient Martial Arts than Tian Boguang’s, and if he did not face the battle in peak condition, he would have no chance of victory.

"Brother Tian, I respect you as the generation’s prodigal knight. Even though you are lecherous, I feel there is still a ’knight’ in you, much more noble than those pretentious Ancient Martial Sect hypocrites. You’ve tasted countless women, but I think it must not feel too meaningful anymore, mainly because there is no one to share with. Some things are better with shared experiences, don’t you think? Imagine if you take one and I take the other, and we both enjoy ourselves in this stone chamber while sharing our experiences, improving each other’s techniques—that would be great, right?" Ye Tianchen suggested with a lewd smile.

Tian Boguang was taken aback, probably not expecting such lewd ideas from someone as young as Ye Tianchen, but he found the idea indeed stimulating. Tian Boguang had daringly sneaked into countless places to ravish women, from anywhere he fancied. He even dared to intrude into the Sword Control Sect to tease the Sect Leader’s daughter. Was there anything he didn’t dare to do?

"Alright, I didn’t expect you to be so depraved, kid. You’re not quite there yet, but it’s a good suggestion. Fine, that’s what we’ll do—one each... Let’s see who can last longer!" Tian Boguang said, laughing lewdly.

"That’s your word. Don’t say I bullied you if you lose later. You’re older than me, so I’ll give you the most coquettish woman..." Ye Tianchen laughed inwardly, stood up, and glanced at Dongfang Meng lying on the stone bed.

Dongfang Meng might have been immobilized, but she could still see and speak, and she knew Ye Tianchen was trying to save her. With Ye Tianchen’s strength alone, he couldn’t defeat Tian Boguang. Just now, Tian Boguang’s Fast Sword Skill had deeply alarmed both Dongfang Meng and Li Qiushui; they wondered where this lecher had learned such skill, and coupled with his Divine Movement Skill, it was no wonder he had eluded death at the hands of many over the years, even daring to storm the Sword Control Sect.

"Hold on, you’re even more impatient than me, kid. Although I agreed earlier to take these two women, one for each of us brothers, I did not agree to give you the purest one. The most wanton woman is mine!" Tian Boguang’s gaze darkened as he spoke.

Surprised, Ye Tianchen then said with a smile:

"Brother Tian, what’s valuable between us brothers is understanding each other’s hearts. It’s not easy to find such a kindred spirit. Since we’re both of similar minds, of course I must offer the best to Brother Tian. Everyone knows that beauty is useless in a woman; it’s the sultriness in bed that truly satisfies. You see this woman, she seems to be sultry to the bone. I’m afraid I might not be able to handle her, so I’ll leave her to you, Brother Tian!"

"Tian Boguang, this kid has a thing with my little apprentice sister, he’s tricking you, trying to save her and leave you for dead!" Li Qiushui glared at Ye Tianchen and said fiercely.
