Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 2190: Chapter 2188: Fight to the Death

[Begging for recommendation votes!]

Ye Tianchen didn’t expect that the seemingly simple "Golden Bell Shield" divine skill would be so difficult to cultivate. Most importantly, he gained a different understanding of the use of martial arts true qi within his body. This understanding lies in the fact that the martial arts true qi seems to have become one with his body, allowing him to manipulate it freely. However, while true qi can circulate within his body, forming a specific protective barrier is still extremely difficult. It can protect collectively, but not provide individual tempering protections, which surprised Ye Tianchen!

During the previous two attempts, Ye Tianchen activated the martial arts true qi from his Dantian, directly forming a protective shield wrapping around his internal organs, but he failed. The protective shield formed by the true qi couldn’t adhere to the internal organs, as if it was innately repelled!

Under these circumstances, Ye Tianchen realized he might have oversimplified some matters. According to logic, everyone believes that martial arts true qi naturally circulates within the body and has already fused with a martial artist’s body. Considering Ye Tianchen’s cultivation realm as a Mid-stage Martial Saint, his divine thought is immensely powerful, easily transforming martial arts true qi into any form. With true qi already fused with the body, how could it possibly fail to protect?

Yet, it is indeed mysterious. The true qi circulates within the internal organs, strengthening the martial artist’s body, but forming a distinct protective shield solely to protect the organs proves unattainable. This is a fact unknown to many martial artists because few attempt it. If not for cultivating the "Golden Bell Shield" divine skill, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t have tried it!

After failing with the external-to-internal method, Ye Tianchen didn’t give up. He thought that if the external-to-internal method fails, he should try the internal-to-external method. First, let the martial arts true qi circulate within the internal organs, then form a protective shield within them, gradually wrapping from the inside out!

As Ye Tianchen saw this method having some effect and seemed to be successful, suddenly his internal organs felt his blood and energy surging. The martial arts true qi that had gradually condensed upon them abruptly dispersed again, injuring his organs and causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood!

"Why did it turn out like this? It seemed on the verge of success, yet it failed again? Apparently, these internal organs are not like the Dantian, which naturally acts like a container!" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ponder.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Three strands of evil power had long enveloped Ye Tianchen, constantly inflicting powerful attacks on him. At this moment, Ye Tianchen could only rely on the physical strength of his body to withstand them. However, this is not a lasting solution, as this method greatly drains Ye Tianchen’s physical body power. He has already held out for a long time, and if he can’t find a way to absolutely defend against these three evil forces within an hour, he will indeed be in danger!

"To turn the entire body from skin, to flesh, to meridians, to bones, to internal organs, and even to the soul into containers and carriers for martial arts true qi, tempering them to be like Dantian—that’s truly insane! Has anyone really accomplished this?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ponder!

It’s known that, even if the physical body is extremely powerful and indestructible, only the exterior of the body is strong. The flesh, meridians, bones, and internal organs within a living being are not as robust as imagined; they are naturally somewhat fragile. Perhaps not as fragile as ordinary people’s, but impossible to use internal organs for combat—it would be a suicidal act!

However, according to Ye Tianchen’s understanding of the "Golden Bell Shield," to successfully cultivate this divine skill, every part of the body must be tempered to become a container for martial arts true qi—filled with true qi’s power at all times. Once the soul can be transformed into a container for true qi, the "Golden Bell Shield" is considered fully cultivated. The records say that if cultivated to the Great Success Realm, even if the Heavenly Vault splits, it can’t harm him. Ye Tianchen doesn’t know if this is exaggerated, but he can only see if he can cultivate the "Golden Bell Shield" to the Great Success Realm!

Boom!

With a massive explosion, Ye Tianchen felt his physical body power was greatly consumed. The combined attack of the three evil forces proved to be incredibly formidable. Even after activating his strongest physical body power, within such a short time of an hour, he had consumed so much power. If this continues, he might exhaust all his physical strength and still fail to destroy these three evil forces!

"It seems I have no choice but to gamble everything, a true and final confrontation!" Ye Tianchen contemplated.

Bang!

Suddenly, Bai Wuji activated the merged three evil forces. It abruptly seemed to shatter open, shocking everyone into a daze. Knowing Ye Tianchen survived was already incredibly shocking. Now, to see Ye Tianchen forcefully disperse these three evil powers? This truly stunned Bai Wuji!

Swish!

Charging out, Ye Tianchen truly emerged from within those three strands of evil power. A golden-yellow light pierced through the sky, soaring into the air. He looked at Bai Wuji and said, "The battle between you and me should end now!"

"Hmph, I’ve always thought so, but you no longer possess that kind of combat power!" Bai Wuji scoffed with disdain.

"Give it a try!" Ye Tianchen said with a calm smile.

Boom!

Three powerful evil forces transformed into three giant palms, enveloping Ye Tianchen, intending to trap him once again. Ye Tianchen performed the "Divine Movement Skill" and disappeared in a flash while the giant palms chased rapidly. Bai Wuji laughed and said, "You can’t escape, I want to see how long you can withstand this!"

"You’re wrong. This time, I won’t run away. I’m going to kill you head-on!" As soon as Ye Tianchen finished speaking, he flashed and appeared less than a hundred meters away from Bai Wuji, surprising Bai Wuji so much that he frowned!

"What arrogance! From the beginning of our battle, I suppressed you. You’ve exhausted too much physical body power to resist the three evil forces. Now you want to fight me? It’s pure folly and a suicidal act!" Bai Wuji said disdainfully.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen said nothing, launching a punch immediately!

Bang!

Bai Wuji, still confident, countered with a direct punch!

Bang!

A loud crash ensued as the two fist forces collided, yet Bai Wuji did not expect his force to be slightly weaker. He was directly blown away, and if not for his strength, he wouldn’t have stabilized after being sent flying hundreds of meters!

"You... something’s wrong, your physical body power is actually increasing!" Bai Wuji stared at Ye Tianchen with tightly furrowed brows and said coldly.

"This is just the beginning, come on!" Ye Tianchen shouted fiercely, transforming into a golden stream of light, attacking Bai Wuji!

Bai Wuji was startled, truly not expecting Ye Tianchen’s physical body power to still be increasing. During their fight earlier, he should have consumed a lot of power, especially being enveloped by the three evil forces temporarily blocking and consuming his physical strength. By common logic, Ye Tianchen’s power should be nearly depleted, yet the power now displayed is even stronger than before, giving Bai Wuji an unexpected feeling!

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Bai Wuji swiftly controlled the three evil forces within himself, blasting them towards Ye Tianchen, hitting him swiftly. But before Bai Wuji could rejoice, Ye Tianchen launched another fist beam at him, which Bai Wuji was also blown away by, his blood churning, fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth!

Pugh!

Ye Tianchen himself spat out a mouthful of blood. Onlookers assumed it was due to the three evil forces’ attack, leading to his injury. In fact, only he knew that wasn’t the case. He heightened his physical body power to the Late Stage Martial Saint Peak Realm—a method where, with his nearly depleted power, he forced every bit of strength from his flesh and blood into use, achieving such formidable power that he suppressed Bai Wuji. However, such battling tactics incurred immense damages upon Ye Tianchen himself. A stabbing pain burned through his entire body, growing fiercer, with an excruciatingly heart-rending sensation!

Nonetheless, Ye Tianchen did not intend to stop. He hoped to quickly master the "Golden Bell Shield" divine skill, protecting him from the three evil forces without relying on his power. Yet he failed. Now, if he doesn’t defeat Bai Wuji quickly, he will undeniably be the loser, and he will definitely be the one to die—Ye Tianchen!

Bam! Bang! Boom!

Ignoring the three evil forces striking his body, Ye Tianchen continuously punched to kill Bai Wuji...
