Chapter 424

Chapter 424: Chapter 423

Li Qiushui’s outburst had completely transformed her into a female devil who killed without batting an eye, while Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang surprisingly swore brotherhood to each other. To become sworn brothers with a lascivious thief who was hunted at every turn required immense courage, both in terms of reputation and the danger to one’s life. Moreover, the conversation between these two men could infuriate Li Qiushui to death.

When the Bone Melting Nine Yin Finger struck, Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang, who appeared visibly clear on the surface, both had a sudden change in expression and used their greatest combat power. Ye Tianchen threw a punch, while Tian Boguang swung a knife.

Bang Dong!

The Thunder Sky Fist and Fast Sword Skill met Li Qiushui’s Bone Melting Nine Yin Finger. After a loud noise, Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang couldn’t help but step back, both feeling extremely surprised. Even joining forces, they were unable to push back Li Qiushui, whose strength was truly terrifying, especially when she was in a frenzy, a true female devil.

"Let’s see how many moves you can block..."

Swish, swish, swish. After a sharp scream from Li Qiushui, her left hand continued to block at the broken stone wall, while her right hand struck out several palms in rapid succession, each palm unleashing the power of the ninth level of the Bone Melting Palm, which was extremely terrifying. She was determined to smash Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang into a pulp.

"The Bone Melting Palm, sinister and venomous, once caused a bloodbath in the martial arts world. If not for the intervention of the Kongwu Divine Monk from Shaolin, who knows how many more would have died. Now, after many years, this vicious Absolute Skill has been learned by Li Qiushui, creating yet another female devil!" Tian Boguang remarked as he watched the skeletal palms strike down, unable to help but lament. He seemed to be reminded of the legendary bloodbath that took place centuries ago that claimed too many innocent lives.

"A lascivious thief like you having such an awareness, you’re quite an exceptional one. We should focus on how to deal with this woman!" Ye Tianchen glanced at Tian Boguang and said.

"I’ll hold her off, you attack her left hand. Right now, this female devil is at her peak state, and she has gone mad, we can’t kill her!" Tian Boguang said gravely.

"Then you hold on... I estimate it will take me an hour to break through!" Ye Tianchen finished speaking and walked away, leaving Tian Boguang watching him speechlessly.

"If it takes you an hour, I’ll be dead by then, hurry up!" Tian Boguang couldn’t help but yell out loud.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Facing Li Qiushui’s Bone Melting Nine Yin Finger, Tian Boguang could only brace himself. His cultivation was slightly weaker than Li Qiushui’s, and that slight difference, combined with the viciousness of the Bone Melting Palm and Li Qiushui’s current frenzied state, meant that Tian Boguang was somewhat overwhelmed. After hard-blocking several palms, Tian Boguang’s mouth also started to bleed.

Looking at Ye Tianchen, who approached the ruined stone wall that Li Qiushui’s left hand was blocking—not her real left hand but one that, like the right hand, was also transformed by the ninth level of inner strength of the Bone Melting Palm—was incredibly powerful. Ye Tianchen walked up to it, clenched his fists tightly, and imbued his punch with the peak power of the King-level Superpower Realm. With a loud shout, he struck out over a hundred times directly at Li Qiushui’s left hand.

"Hmph, you’re still far from strong enough, see how I dismember you completely!" Li Qiushui snorted coldly, disdainfully speaking because Ye Tianchen’s punches, which hit Li Qiushui’s left hand, were unable to move the palm formed by the ninth level of inner strength of the Bone Melting Palm.

"If it can’t be broken, then I’ll poke a hole in it... Golden Eyes!"

Once again, Ye Tianchen used his self-created Superpower Killing Skill, Golden Eyes, which erupted with a power capable of destroying heaven and earth from his eyes. However, he hadn’t fully grasped or unleashed the full potential of Golden Eyes. Otherwise, he wouldn’t appear so powerless in front of Li Qiushui. What Ye Tianchen found strange was that ever since his Dual Cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture with Dongfang Meng, he had used Golden Eyes twice in a short period without feeling tired, or feeling as if his strength had been drained, nor the sense that his vision was on the brink of vanishing. It seemed that the Dual Cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, even though it hadn’t substantially broken through his Cultivation Realm, had to some extent consolidated his strength. He did not suffer major damage after using the Golden Eyes, which significantly increased his strength, far more than just a little. Being able to freely use the "Golden Eyes," an ability like the Superpower Killing Skill, was equivalent to providing Ye Tianchen with an extra ace up his sleeve.

During the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen had perceived the "Golden Eyes," a superpower killing skill, but he had not fully grasped it. Moreover, due to the limitations of the power within his body, along with the difficulty in activating the "Golden Eyes," every use left Ye Tianchen feeling as if all his strength had been drained. His eyes would even bleed, which made him scared to use it too often. Unless it was absolutely necessary, activating the Golden Eyes was not worth it. If it failed to kill the enemy and he depleted his energy, he would lose his strongest combat state and his death would be certain.

Now, without even realizing it, Ye Tianchen could no longer feel the exhaustion or impending blindness after using the "Golden Eyes." This delighted him more than advancing to the Emperor-level Superpower Realm. In the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen had made many efforts to maximize the use of Golden Eyes, whether it was physical cultivation, enhancing the power within his body, or understanding the mental realm. He had tried countless times to break through without success, so this unexpected breakthrough naturally made him very happy.

Hum!

From Ye Tianchen’s eyes shot two golden beams, lighting up the stone chamber in an instant, and the immense power shook probably the entire Ancient Tomb, startling both Li Qiushui and Tian Boguang. Li Qiushui tried to retract her left hand, but it was too late. The two golden beams pierced straight through her hand, and even the power of the ninth level of Bone Melting Palm could not stop the "Golden Eyes." This made Li Qiushui frown and grow even more murderous. She could not let Ye Tianchen continue to grow. This twenty-year-old had boundless potential, which was terrifying, and given how close he was to her little junior sister, Dongfang Meng, he would definitely become a nuisance in her heart.

Boom!

Li Qiushui made a decisive move, shockingly ruthless. After shaking off Tian Boguang, she charged towards Ye Tianchen with the ninth level strength of Bone Melting Palm, vowing to explode Ye Tianchen with a single hit. At this moment, Ye Tianchen was also at his peak combat strength. He no longer felt the power drain after using the "Golden Eyes." Seeing Li Qiushui’s palm strike, Ye Tianchen knew the difference in cultivation and power, but he had no word for retreat in his vocabulary. With a call of his right hand, the Taie Sword appeared in his grasp, and with a swish, he slashed at Li Qiushui.

"Your death anniversary will be this day next year!" Li Qiushui hissed at Ye Tianchen. Her right hand palm strike was blocked by the Sword Qi from Ye Tianchen’s Taie Sword, but her left hand was already close, too close for Ye Tianchen to wield the sword. He could only brace the Taie Sword horizontally above his head to block.

"Brother, be careful..." bellowed Tian Boguang. He pushed his Divine Movement Skill to its limit and rushed towards Ye Tianchen. Li Qiushui’s close palm strike carried the might of the ninth level of Bone Melting Palm, a formidable force that did not require imagination. Even if the Taie Sword could block some of it, such a close strike would either kill Ye Tianchen or leave him gravely injured. The difference in cultivation was undeniable.

Whoosh!

Just as Tian Boguang rushed over with his Divine Movement Skill, feeling that it was still a bit too late, a graceful figure burst in through the broken stone wall.

Swish, swish, swish! Like a fairy dancing with a sword, those streaks of Sword Qi cut through the void, forcibly pushing Li Qiushui back. Exasperated, Li Qiushui clenched her teeth and said furiously, "Little junior sister, it seems you really have obtained all the skills of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture. How else would the master choose you as the Sect Leader of our Ancient Tomb Sect unless she passed down the Jade Maiden Sword Skill to you?"

"Elder sister, you might as well give up. You’ve greatly disappointed the master. If she were alive to see you like this, she wouldn’t be happy either!" Dongfang Meng shook her head as she seriously spoke to Li Qiushui.

"Hahaha, what affection is there to speak of between the different Ancient Martial Sects? It’s the survival of the fittest, and only those with great power are fundamental. The Jade Maiden Sword Skill requires dual swordsmanship between a man and a woman. With your current level of sword play, you’re no match for me. All three of you will die here, and then I’ll slowly search for the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture!"

Li Qiushui laughed loudly towards the sky. A black line suddenly rose from between her brows, as if a third eye had appeared, shocking both Ye Tianchen and Tian Boguang. This woman was becoming more and more like a female devil, not possessed by a demon, right?

"Let’s go, it’s the demonic realm of the Bone Melting Palm!"

Dongfang Meng also gasped, her jade sword dancing as she shot it straight towards Li Qiushui. But Li Qiushui opened her eyes, which were full of blood, and spat out a black line that shattered Dongfang Meng’s jade sword.

However, by the time Li Qiushui looked disheveled, pale with black lips, and a black mark on her forehead, making her extremely violent, Dongfang Meng, Ye Tianchen, and Tian Boguang had already vanished through the broken wall.

"Dongfang Meng, Ye Tianchen, Tian Boguang... all three of you must die, I, Li Qiushui, will tear you to pieces... The Jade Maiden Heart Scripture is mine, the position of Sect Leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect is also mine... ah!" Li Qiushui roared maniacally, smashing everything in the stone chamber into pieces.
