Chapter 2263: Chapter 2261: Deploying 2 Divine Swords

"Ye Tianchen, you do indeed have great talent, and limitless prospects in Martial Arts. Why insist on throwing your life away here? Isn’t that stupid?" The Fourth Elder of the Northern State looked at Ye Tianchen and said.

"So if I just walk away and let you slaughter every female disciple of Flying Flower Zen Temple, that wouldn’t be stupid?" Ye Tianchen asked with a faint smile.

"We haven’t gone all out yet, that’s why you think you can fight us. If we really unleash our full strength, you won’t be able to withstand the two of us. Your body and soul will both be annihilated!" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State threatened Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the Fifth Elder of the Northern State, then smiled calmly and said, "It’s true, you two old bastards are very strong, the strongest two among the Five Elders of the Northern State. Dealing with you is indeed a bit difficult for me. But just now, because I was worried the other three old bastards would make a move and slaughter all the female disciples of Flying Flower Zen Temple, I also didn’t fight at full strength; my Essence, Energy, Spirit weren’t fully focused. Now, Flying Flower Zen Temple has received reinforcements. I believe it won’t be exterminated, and I also believe that in a battle against you two, I can do it!"

"Arrogant fool, just courting death!" The Fourth Elder of the Northern State said viciously.

"With the two of us here, no matter how many people come, the inheritance of Flying Flower Zen Temple is doomed to be wiped out!" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State’s killing intent surged all over his body; it felt like he could launch a deadly strike at Ye Tianchen at any moment!

At the beginning, Ye Tianchen hadn’t gone all out—not because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t focus his mind. His scheme had been seen through by the Fourth and Fifth Elders of the Northern State, leaving him blocked by these two old monsters. Meanwhile, the First and Second Elders of the Northern State had charged toward the twenty-some remaining female disciples of Flying Flower Zen Temple. With every finger pointed out, a female disciple was annihilated on the spot, turning into a spray of Blood Mist. It was a horrifying scene, and one that made people anxious to the extreme. So Ye Tianchen simply couldn’t fully focus, couldn’t go all out in slaughter; while facing the killing methods of these two strongest elders, he was also trying to figure out how to rescue the female disciples of Flying Flower Zen Temple who were being butchered!

However, he still couldn’t think of a good way, nor could he instantly obliterate the Fourth and Fifth Elders of the Northern State. This inevitably made Ye Tianchen anxious. Facing such a situation, anyone would probably be unspeakably on edge!

But now things were different. Those female cultivators who had once trained at Flying Flower Zen Temple had all returned out of loyalty and righteousness. Not only were their cultivation realms profound and their strength formidable, they also carried a momentum of guarding Flying Flower Zen Temple without fearing life or death. Under this momentum, the Five Elders of the Northern State also felt pressure multiply, while Ye Tianchen felt a bit relieved, because he saw Princess Zi Xuan leading the twenty-some injured Flying Flower Zen Temple female disciples who had lost combat power and flying out of the battlefield. With that, he could finally fight with his full strength in peace. As long as he held back these Five Elders of the Northern State and didn’t get himself killed, his mission would be considered complete. Once these twenty-some female disciples had scattered in all directions and were beyond pursuit, Flying Flower Zen Temple would not be eradicated as a sect—it would only be temporarily dispersed. This situation was already beyond his control; they could only wait for a chance in the future to rebuild.

The rise and fall of a legacy, its glory and its destruction, are in fact quite normal. Ensuring that a heritage isn’t completely wiped out is truly difficult. Just like what Flying Flower Zen Temple is going through now: nearly all the sects in the Northern State Territory have risen up to attack it. Tell me, how hard would it be to preserve the inheritance of Flying Flower Zen Temple? Being able to let the disciples escape without all being slaughtered was already extremely difficult, and also an enormous stroke of fortune!

Bang!

The Fourth Elder of the Northern State slammed a palm down toward Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen did not retreat. At such a moment, if he stepped back or showed the slightest hint of fear, these two old bastards would immediately pounce and kill him, and the situation would become even worse for him. Besides, if one of these two old bastards went after Princess Zi Xuan and the others, given their cruelty and utter lack of humanity, a single palm might be enough to wipe out all of them!

Therefore, Ye Tianchen couldn’t allow even a trace of retreat. He had to charge forward even more ferociously. Otherwise, he would give the Fourth and Fifth Elders of the Northern State room to breathe, which would only make them feel less pressure and start thinking about going after Princess Zi Xuan and the others!

Bang!

Ye Tianchen immediately sent out a palm of his own, unleashing a powerful palm force that met the Fourth Elder of the Northern State’s palm strength head-on. The result was evenly matched. Yet this outcome shocked the Fourth Elder of the Northern State. His cultivation realm was a full stage higher than Ye Tianchen’s, so his combat power should naturally have been stronger. At the beginning, he’d only been toying with Ye Tianchen, not really using his full strength. But this palm just now was almost his full power. Ye Tianchen hadn’t dodged, but instead chose to meet him head-on, and he hadn’t fallen into disadvantage at all. This truly stunned the Fourth Elder of the Northern State, making him wonder if this kid was really a Demon-level monster?

That hard clash of palms with the Fourth Elder was also the first time since the start of Ye Tianchen’s battle against the Fourth and Fifth Elders of the Northern State that a true fierce fight began. From that palm, Ye Tianchen’s heart furrowed. He hadn’t expected the Fourth Elder’s combat power to be this terrifying. It seemed that although his own combat power exceeded his cultivation realm, and he could use the power of the Forbidden Domain to fight across realms, killing the Fourth and Fifth Elders of the Northern State would still be extremely difficult!

Boom!

After the palm exchange, Ye Tianchen immediately lunged toward the Fourth Elder of the Northern State, while his killing intent locked onto the Fifth Elder of the Northern State in an instant, preventing him from leaving to chase Princess Zi Xuan and the others!

"Truly a young man who doesn’t know life from death!" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State smiled faintly, frowned, and said.

"We’d better stop playing around here. If we keep delaying, that group of Flying Flower Zen Temple female disciples will get too far. Letting a pot of cooked duck fly away wouldn’t look too good!" The Fourth Elder of the Northern State glanced at the Fifth Elder and said.

"Mm, then let’s attack together. We’ll kill this brat first. If he survives, he’ll be a massive hidden threat to us in the future!" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State nodded and said.

Bang!

Bang!

Two surging blasts of fist force lunged straight at Ye Tianchen, stunning him for a heartbeat. But Ye Tianchen, who was already charging in midair, did not stop. He clenched both fists in the air, and two Overlord Fist forces roared out in return—he was still choosing to clash head‑on!

Boom!

A deafening crash rang out as the fist forces shattered in midair, the shockwaves sweeping in all directions. The Northern State Four Elders and the Northern State Fifth Elder both frowned slightly, yet there was a trace of contemptuous smile on their faces, because they had blasted Ye Tianchen away. This meant that no matter how heaven‑defying his combat strength was, he still couldn’t be the match of the two of them together!

"This kid is indeed gifted. Remarkable!" The Northern State Four Elders said with a calm smile.

"Mm. It’s just a pity he’s still not our opponent. Let’s go. We can’t let those female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple get away!" The Northern State Fifth Elder said, eyes vicious.

After sending Ye Tianchen flying with their two punches, the Northern State Four Elders and the Northern State Fifth Elder both moved, using Qi Manipulation Flight to rush forward. However, just as they set off, two streaks of sword radiance swept in, splitting heaven and earth as they slashed down toward them. The two of them were both shocked by these sword radiances, visibly surprised as they dodged rapidly, not daring to take them head‑on!

A figure appeared in front of them, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth—it was Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen’s left hand gripped the Taie Sword, his right hand gripped the Xuanyuan Sword. The Sword Qi of both Divine Swords crisscrossed wildly, piercing into the heavens, carrying a sense of inviolable majesty. The Northern State Four Elders and the Northern State Fifth Elder both frowned deeply at the sight!

"The Xuanyuan Sword?"

"The Taie Sword?"

"We didn’t expect you to have obtained two Ancient Divine Swords!"

"Looks like killing you might bring us far greater gains than wiping out the Flying Flower Zen Temple!"

Hum!

Hum!

Ye Tianchen poured his Martial Arts True Qi into the two Divine Swords. The Taie Sword’s Sword Qi surged wildly, its mighty power billowing; the Xuanyuan Sword’s Sword Qi pierced through the clouds, exuding an awe‑inspiring, inviolable authority. With both Divine Swords empowered, their strength rose sharply as Ye Tianchen used them to bar the path of the Northern State Four Elders and the Northern State Fifth Elder.

"If you want to get past, you’ll have to ask whether these two swords in my hands agree!" Ye Tianchen said coldly, staring at the Northern State Four Elders and the Northern State Fifth Elder.

"You’re very talented, and you have great perseverance. But if you’re pinning your hopes on these two Divine Swords to stop us, I’m afraid that’s nothing but a joke." The Northern State Four Elders said with disdain.

"Killing you now seems to have become an unavoidable task. You’re the one courting death—don’t blame us!" The Northern State Fifth Elder snarled through clenched teeth.

Hum!

The Northern State Four Elders also summoned his own longsword. Sword radiance flashed, and the Divine Power it carried was actually not a bit weaker than the Divine Swords in Ye Tianchen’s hands—truly astonishing!

Swish!

The Northern State Fifth Elder summoned a massive saber. The power of this saber was overwhelmingly fierce; everything beneath its saber radiance seemed bound to be annihilated. Even Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but furrow his brows at the sight!

At this moment, Ye Tianchen held the Taie Sword in his left hand and the Xuanyuan Sword in his right. With two Divine Swords in hand, he knew it would be very difficult to defeat the Northern State Four Elders and the Northern State Fifth Elder. However, as long as he could delay them for a bit longer—long enough for Princess Zi Xuan to lead those injured sisters to scatter and escape—he could finally breathe a little easier. Ye Tianchen might even have a chance to flee himself. Now was not the time to fight the Northern State Fifth Elder to the bitter end; there was no need to waste time here. But could Ye Tianchen pull it off?
