Chapter 2265: Chapter 2263: [Courage and Resolve]

"Disperse now, I hope you all always remember that you are disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple. One day, I will gather everyone again, and during this period, what we need to do is survive, elevate our cultivation realm, and lay a solid foundation for the rebuilding and flourishing of the Flying Flower Zen Temple!" Princess Zi Xuan said to the remaining twenty or so sisters of the Flying Flower Zen Temple.

Watching these remaining twenty or so sisters gradually depart reluctantly, Princess Zi Xuan waved goodbye to each of them, filled with countless emotions. She thought about the inheritance of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, which was established from the Ancient Early Stage and has been passed down until now. Despite the major changes in the Heaven and Earth Laws of Earth, the inheritance within the Barbaric Forbidden Land had scarcely involved external matters, let alone information within the Martial Arts World. However, the strength of the Flying Flower Zen Temple is indisputable; in the entire Northern State Territory, it has always been one of the top existences.

When Master Sang Qing was alive, she always adhered to principles of kindness and compassion, never oppressing other inheritances. No inheritance ever dared to provoke the Flying Flower Zen Temple, and now, Sang Qing has just passed away, and so much has changed. Hundreds of disciples from the Flying Flower Zen Temple were besieged, leaving only twenty or so, which makes anyone feel bitter and desolate!

"Sect Leader, aren’t you leaving?" A female disciple of the Flying Flower Zen Temple asked as she looked at Princess Zi Xuan.

"I will, but first, I will watch you all leave safely, and then I will leave!" Princess Zi Xuan said with a slight smile.

Princess Zi Xuan manipulated Qi in flight high above, watching as these remaining twenty or so sisters of the Flying Flower Zen Temple departed one by one. Although she felt melancholy, she was somewhat comforted that at least the Flying Flower Zen Temple was not destroyed. This outcome was already the best possible!

It is imaginable that the entire Northern State Territory mobilized its inheritances, many veteran warriors were deployed, including the powerful Northern State Five Elders who are veteran martial artists. The Flying Flower Zen Temple was almost certain to be destroyed, yet it managed to save over twenty people who escaped safely, preserving a flicker of hope. It was remarkably difficult, almost like a miracle!

Turn around!

Princess Zi Xuan did not depart but headed towards that extremely dangerous battlefield, where only Ye Tianchen, the Northern State Five Elders, Qin Mu, Mo Qin, Peng Yan remained. The other martial artists who came to assist the Flying Flower Zen Temple had all left because they could no longer provide help and would only become burdens!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Ye Tianchen unleashed two sword qi strikes with immense power, feeling as if they could cleave Heaven and Earth in two. However, the Northern State Four Elders and the Northern State Fifth Elder were Late Stage Martial Saint experts, and as veteran martial artists, their combat experience was abundant. They either fought him head-on or dodged, making it impossible to determine a winner for the moment!

Yet, Ye Tianchen’s battle prowess had already shocked the Northern State Four Elders and the Northern State Fifth Elder. A young martial artist could be so powerful, it was truly astonishing.

It is imaginable, Ye Tianchen is just a young martial artist, and in terms of cultivation realm, he’s lower than the Northern State Four Elders and the Northern State Fifth Elder. However, he could challenge them both with a Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, and even though he couldn’t quickly kill them, he could hold his ground against them with two Divine Swords in hand. Ye Tianchen’s battle strength made everyone present utterly amazed!

"This child is too demonic, managing to battle the two of us!" The Northern State Fourth Elder couldn’t help but say through gritted teeth to the Northern State Fifth Elder.

"Didn’t expect such a strong young warrior to appear in this world, but unfortunately, he is not ours and must be killed!" The Northern State Fifth Elder said, frowning and maliciously.

"Yes, strike with full force, eliminate him completely!" The Northern State Fourth Elder nodded and said.

"Seems there’s no other way!" The Northern State Fifth Elder said.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Two powerful Powers of Slaughter were unleashed from the sword qi of the Northern State Fourth Elder and the blade glow of the Northern State Fifth Elder, startling Ye Tianchen. When these two forces were aimed at him, the entire battlefield felt as if it had paused, as if the Heaven and Earth Laws had stopped.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Ye Tianchen had no retreat; he couldn’t be sure if Princess Zi Xuan, along with the remaining twenty female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, were safe yet. As long as it’s not completely certain, he had to stop these two powerful old guys, because if they were given the chance, with their ruthlessness and combat prowess, catching up with Princess Zi Xuan and the others wouldn’t be hard. At that point, it would truly become extremely dangerous!

Bang!

With a loud crash, Ye Tianchen was nevertheless sent flying. With his current strength, blocking two Late Stage Martial Saints was indeed very challenging. To persist to this extent was already impressive. When the Northern State’s Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder exerted their full strength, unleashing their most formidable combat power, Ye Tianchen felt somewhat unable to cope. His vital energy surged, and his internal organs were greatly shaken, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood!

"Humph, little brat, trying to stop the two of us, you’re still a bit too green!" The Northern State’s Fourth Elder snorted disdainfully.

"Your strength is indeed beyond our imagination. If you grow up, you will become a major threat to us. Unfortunately, you won’t survive; you must die!" The Northern State’s Fifth Elder spoke assertively without further explanation.

Ye Tianchen glanced at these two old men, then looked at Qin Mu, Mo Qin, and Peng Yan not far away, fighting against the Northern State’s First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder. Although Qin Mu and the other two were remarkably talented, matching the Northern State’s three Elders in Cultivation Realm, the Northern State’s three were veteran Martial Arts Experts, solidly in the Mid-stage Martial Saint for many years, with deep foundations and rich combat experience. Initially, Qin Mu and the two women could fight without falling behind, but gradually, they began to show signs of lagging. If this continued, all three might lose their lives!

Boom!

At this moment, seeing that they had already injured Ye Tianchen, the Northern State’s Fourth Elder felt that killing him would be as easy as turning over a hand. He directly stepped forward and, looking coldly at Xiao Yi, sneered, "You are already struggling to protect yourself; you should stop worrying about others!"

"Indeed, it’s as if you don’t take us seriously at all; anyway, you’re going to die, it looks the same when you’re dead!" the Northern State’s Fifth Elder laughed cruelly.

"You’re so quick to pronounce death, as if you can decide people’s fates at any moment, yet unaware that your lives are also decided by others!" Ye Tianchen calmly looked at the Northern State’s Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder.

"Hahaha, the strong decide the fate of the weak; that’s an eternal truth. In our eyes, you are the weak, and the entire Flying Flower Zen Temple are the weak!" The Northern State’s Fourth Elder laughed heartily.

"Strong? Is there really such a thing as strong in this world? What degree of cultivation do you consider to be strong?" Ye Tianchen asked calmly, gazing at the sky.

"Emperor Realm!" the Northern State’s Fifth Elder said coldly.

"Under this Martial Arts World, all living beings are weak, including the invincible figures of the Emperor Realm, because if the Heaven and Earth Laws want you dead, then you must die. If they want you alive, then you can live!" Ye Tianchen spoke with a hint of understanding.

"So, according to you, do you mean to defy the heavens?" the Northern State’s Fourth Elder asked disdainfully.

"If there’s a possibility, I will certainly try!" A confident smile played on Ye Tianchen’s lips.

"Heh, truly a mad young man, an ignorant youngster trying to defy the heavens. No wonder you encountered the two of us. Your path in Martial Arts ends here, so does your life!" the Northern State’s Fifth Elder laughed mockingly.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s crazy words of "defying the heavens," both the Northern State’s Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder mocked him, considering him ignorant. In the Martial Arts World, all living beings, whether strong or weak, live under the laws of this world. Even the strongest, who have reached the Martial Arts Peak Realm, live under these laws; they just understand and manipulate them better than most. No one ever dared to break these Heaven and Earth Laws, not following them is seen as an earth-shattering, utterly insane notion!

"That’s just your perspective. Every strong person who reaches the peak of the Emperor Realm tries to enter the Immortal Domain to achieve Eternal Life, to become Immortal. In reality, that’s transcending the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Martial Arts World, breaking those laws!" Ye Tianchen said calmly.

"Humph, too bad you won’t have the opportunity!" The Northern State’s Fourth Elder’s longsword was filled with murderous intent.

"For someone as mad, as unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth as you, I’m sure the Heaven and Earth Laws won’t tolerate you. Let us kill you!" The Northern State’s Fifth Elder said as he swung his broadsword.
