Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 182: Chapter 181 [The Murderous Aura of Xuanyuan Teng]

At the slightest disagreement, murder was committed with a brazen arrogance devoid of all humanity. There was no other way to describe Xuanyuan Teng, for he was not simply mad or arrogant—his disdain for others was absolute and inhuman.

Those present, who generally had some status and power, were all intimidated by Xuanyuan Teng.

No one could have imagined that Xuanyuan Teng would kill a man over a single remark, so narrow-minded and trivial was his regard for human life. Such a person would inevitably incur the wrath of gods and men, and was sure to meet a terrible end.

”What’s the matter? You’re not leaving yet? Does anyone else wish to die?”

With a cold laugh, Xuanyuan Teng scanned the crowd with his gaze, as if everyone he looked at should give way and cower in fear.

Fear was written on many faces, though they were angry but dared not speak out.

The man who was just killed by Xuanyuan Teng had merely spoken out of turn. The eight bodyguards clad in black suits standing behind Xuanyuan Teng were top-notch experts, highly skilled and closely protecting him.

This demonstrated the profound strength of the Hidden Families, a force not to be underestimated. Just how powerful the Xuanyuan family was had become an unanswerable question.

As everyone gradually dispersed, Xuanyuan Teng’s face broke into a smug smile. He plopped onto a sofa, propped up his legs in an arrogant pose, took a puff of his cigar, and lecherously eyed the top courtesan before him, saying indifferently:

”Come and suck...”

The courtesan was stunned. Though she was used to serving high-profile clients and had witnessed grand scenes, dealing with someone as arrogant and self-centered as Xuanyuan Teng was a challenge. She dared not offend him.

Now, Xuanyuan Teng was demanding that she perform such an act in front of everyone. This was simply... it was as if she was being treated as less than human.

The courtesan’s face darkened, and anger simmered within her. Even as a woman for sale, she still had her dignity. Even a courtesan had her morality and self-respect. To be trampled upon in such a manner was intolerable for anyone.

Intolerable as it might be, she had no choice but to endure, for in the face of the powerful, these courtesans—even celebrated ones like herself—had to bend the knee and do as they were told.

Even those domestic and international A-list stars, radiant by day yet unknown by night, how many times they had been forced to scream in agony, abused by powerful officials and influential figures in unspeakable ways.

”This... Young Master Xuanyuan, this might not be very appropriate?” the courtesan said, trembling with fear.

”Nothing inappropriate about it, suck...” Xuanyuan Teng, devoid of any humanity, spoke with a cold smile.

Having served Xuanyuan Teng before, the courtesan knew all too well his temper. That she had not already angered him with her words was fortunate indeed; if she dared say anything more, she feared for her life.

Reluctantly, the courtesan knelt down before Xuanyuan Teng. Even as a courtesan, her face flushed with embarrassment. She gently unzipped his trousers and reached for his manhood, preparing to take it into her mouth. Despite her discomfort and rage, she dared not refuse, as her life was on the line.

Just as the courtesan was about to engage in the act, a young bodyguard in a black suit rushed into the luxurious club, making his way to Xuanyuan Teng’s side and whispering in his ear:

”Young Master, there’s news from Capital City...”

”I’m sure it’s good news. Ah Hu has killed Ye Tianchen, right? Tell him not to worry. Ye Tianchen is just a nobody, a mere relic of the once prominent Ye family. I could take care of them with a flick of my fingers!”

Xuanyuan Teng cut off his subordinate mid-report, assuming that Ah Hu had succeeded in killing Ye Tianchen and was delighted by the news.

”No, it’s not like that, Young Master. Ah Hu... Ah Hu has failed...” the subordinate said softly, with evident fear.

”What? Impossible! Where on earth did you get such fake news?” Xuanyuan Teng frowned, clearly getting irritated.

”It’s true. The information has been verified. Ah Hu failed in his mission...”

Leaping to his feet, Xuanyuan Teng stood up from the sofa, and the courtesan kneeling at his crotch quickly did the same, stepping aside, fearing that Xuanyuan Teng’s rage might turn on her.

Xuanyuan Teng grabbed the collar of his subordinate, his eyes turning fierce and terrible. He couldn’t accept such news.

In his view, Ye Tianchen was merely an ant, one he could crush at will. But now, this ant, as he saw it, was attempting to overturn heaven, something he could not tolerate!

”Spit it out clearly, word for word—don’t you dare leave out a single detail. Otherwise, I’ll have you thrown into the sea!” Xuanyuan Teng said coldly.

Xuanyuan Teng had been very pleased, basking in the aftermath of his intimidating display and awaiting the news of Ah Hu’s success against Ye Tianchen.

But what he received instead was the news of Ah Hu’s failure. Not long ago, he had spoken with Ah Hu, who had repeatedly assured him of success in killing Ye Tianchen, even without Xuanyuan Teng needing to return to Capital City.

Xuanyuan Teng had faith in Ah Hu’s capabilities, as he had never let him down before. Unfortunately, this time his opponent was Ye Tianchen.

”Big, Big Young Master, this is what happened. Tonight, Ah Hu sent over three hundred brothers to corner Ye Tianchen in the wide and narrow alleys, planning to hack him to death with countless knives. Who would have known, who would have known that Ye Tianchen actually fought his way out...”

The subordinate was reporting the situation as if he had witnessed the scene of Ye Tianchen swinging his sword to kill the enemy himself, and he couldn’t help but shiver.

”Over three hundred people, over three hundred men armed with machetes, even if it were three hundred watermelons, Ye Tianchen would be too tired to chop them all. How could he have butchered his way out? Get Ah Hu to see me overnight; I want to see how he is going to explain this to me!” Xuanyuan Teng said angrily, grinding his teeth.

”Big Young Master, Ah Hu, he, he, he’s dead...”

”What... Who, who killed him...” Xuanyuan Teng furrowed his brows, tightening his fists as he asked.

”It’s heard that it was the people brought by Lu Shengda who went to capture Ah Hu, and he was killed in the process...”

”Ye Tianchen, Lu Shengda, I will have your lives!”

Xuanyuan Teng pushed the subordinate in front of him to the ground, his eyes filled with rage. He never dreamed that Ye Tianchen could be so formidable.

Ah Hu was a ruthless character, absolutely unfazed by murder, and had never let him down. Upon his, Xuanyuan Teng’s, command, Ah Hu would immediately behead the enemy. This time, to make sure nothing went wrong, Ah Hu had dispatched over three hundred fierce men.

No one would have expected that Ye Tianchen could kill his way out. Was this guy human or divine?

Bang!

Within this luxurious clubhouse, Xuanyuan Teng killed again. To vent his inner displeasure and anger, he shot and killed the loyal subordinate who had been at his side without a moment’s hesitation.

”Big Young Master, what should we do now?” A black-suited bodyguard standing behind asked.

”Prepare the private jet; I want to hurry back to the Capital City overnight!” Xuanyuan Teng ordered as he tossed his handgun to the bodyguard behind him.

”Yes!”

”Ye Tianchen, I want to see what you can use to challenge me, Xuanyuan Teng, and just how capable you really are...” Xuanyuan Teng sarcastically laughed coldly to himself.

The next day, when Ye Tianchen woke up, he found that Xiao Ya was not lying on the hospital bed. Although the doctor had said last night that Xiao Ya only had a knife wound on her back and had suffered just some superficial injury thanks to Ye Tianchen’s quick action, she still needed plenty of rest since she was shocked and had lost a considerable amount of blood.

”Yaer? Yaer?”

Ye Tianchen got up from the accompanying bed and started looking for her.

No one in the hospital room responded. Ye Tianchen suddenly felt alarmed, wondering if Xuanyuan Yu had someone quietly abduct Xiao Ya.

Although the likelihood was small, it was not impossible, considering that there were Ancient Martial Sect masters and powerful Superpower Users in this world. Even at his current King-level Superpower Realm, Ye Tianchen knew he was powerful but not yet dominant, and the opponent could hire a formidable expert to deal with him.

”Yaer...”

When Ye Tianchen walked into Xiao Ya’s mother’s hospital room, he found, just as he expected, that Xiao Ya was there taking care of her mother, peeling an apple for her.

”Tianchen, you’re here!” Xiao Ya said with a smile to Ye Tianchen.

”Yaer, you...”

”I knew you would come back this morning; no classes at school, right?” Xiao Ya interrupted Ye Tianchen, giving him a meaningful glance.

Naturally, Ye Tianchen was no fool; seeing Xiao Ya giving him a cue and her mother chatting with her daughter with a smile, he understood that Xiao Ya had not told her mother about the events of last night. She didn’t want her mother to know. Xiao Ya was a very kind and sensible girl.

”Oh, yes, I only have classes in the afternoon. It seems you also have classes in the afternoon, so it would be nice for us to go to school together!” Ye Tianchen regained his composure and said with a smile.

”Tianchen, you’ve really gone to a lot of trouble coming to see me again!” Xiao Ya’s mother spoke with a kind smile.

”Auntie, Yaer and I are good friends; it’s what I should do. You look good today, and I believe you’ll be fully recovered soon. Make sure to rest well and eat plenty to regain your strength!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Hehe, I am well aware of my own health. As long as you and Yaer are happy together, that’s all I care about, and I will leave her in your care from now on...”

”Mom, what are you talking about...”

Xiao Ya’s face turned red with innocence, and she glared at her mother as she spoke.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
