Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 251: Chapter 250: [The Great Crisis from the Xuanyuan Family]

”Did you hear that, Tianchen? After dinner, accompany Ruxue for a walk outside!” Luo Yan glared at her son Ye Tianchen as she spoke.

In reality, Luo Yan was quite measured and a very smart and talented woman. She could naturally tell that Qi Ruxue’s visit to the Ye family this time was not just to express her gratitude for having been sheltered in the past; there was also another purpose behind it. She wanted to spark a bit of romantic interest with Ye Tianchen. Even Ye Qianwen could see that, so how could Luo Yan possibly miss it?

Luo Yan indeed hoped that her son Ye Tianchen would marry soon, or at least to find a girlfriend he could marry in the future. After all, the former Ye Tianchen had caused his parents much worry by getting into a lot of trouble, being idle, and not concentrating on his studies. Now, although he had finally started to show some sense, troubles still followed him nonstop. Even though these were resolved, they truly made Luo Yan and her husband Ye Hong even more concerned. As parents, of course, they wished for their children’s safety and well-being, so their desire for Ye Tianchen to find a girlfriend and settle down was understandable.

Now, with Qi Ruxue at the Ye family’s place, whether Ye Tianchen liked her or not, as the host, he naturally had to keep her company when she was the guest, which is why Luo Yan spoke to her son so seriously.

”I know, as long as she’s not afraid of going out so late at night, I might as well walk her and sell her off!” Ye Tianchen said with a mischievous smile.

”If you’re not afraid, why should I be... Just you wait and see!” Qi Ruxue pouted her cute little mouth at Ye Tianchen, full of a challenging tone.

”Alright then, I’ll take you out and sell you off later!” Ye Tianchen chuckled, feeling a bit like the Big Big Wolf.

”Who sells whom is not yet certain!” Qi Ruxue stuck out her tongue in response.

Actually, Ye Tianchen didn’t have a bad impression of Qi Ruxue. Despite their constant bickering and seemingly incompatible nature, he saw Qi Ruxue’s kindness, gentleness, excellent cooking skills, beauty, great figure, and notably big buttocks—all these things had not escaped his notice. He categorized her as a good friend but regarding romantic feelings, he couldn’t seem to muster any interest.

Thump, thump, thump!

Just then, there came a knocking on the villa door. Ye Tianchen and the others were all startled; it was already around half-past eight, and it was rare for visitors to come to the Ye family at this hour. Who could it be knocking at the door?

Ye Qianwen was the quickest to react. After putting down her chopsticks, she ran to open the door. When she opened it, she found that there was no one there, just a letter left behind with the words ”For Ye Tianchen personally” written on the envelope.

Picking up the envelope, Ye Qianwen was very curious—who would send a letter in this day and age, and just leave it at the door and go? Wasn’t the sender being too careless? The envelope was marked for her brother to open personally. If she weren’t worried about upsetting her brother, Ye Qianwen really wanted to see what was written inside, curious about who could be sending such a mysterious letter.

”Qianwen, who is it?” Luo Yan couldn’t help but look towards the villa’s door and ask.

”No one, just a letter!” Ye Qianwen closed the villa’s door, speaking as she walked back.

Hearing Ye Qianwen’s words, Ye Tianchen, Luo Yan, and Qi Ruxue were all puzzled and surprised. They set down their chopsticks and all gathered in the living room to see the white envelope Ye Qianwen held in her hand. Ye Tianchen frowned; his intuition told him that this was an ill omen.

”Tianchen, who sent you the letter?” Luo Yan looked at the envelope and asked curiously, not just because of the rarity of letter-sending in modern times but also because receiving a letter so late in the evening was enough to make anyone wonder.

Ye Tianchen took the envelope from his sister Ye Qianwen, equally puzzled. Suddenly, he sensed a strange energy fluctuating and frowned. Then, with a smile, he said, ”Mom, I’ll go upstairs for a bit!”

”What kind of thing requires going upstairs? Can’t you open it now?” Luo Yan, not wanting to pry into her son’s privacy, was merely concerned, prompting her question.

”Hehe, love letters are not something you all can see!”

After speaking, Ye Tianchen didn’t wait for his mother Luo Yan to say anything else; he hurried up to the second floor, entered his room, and closed the door behind him. This left Luo Yan, Ye Qianwen, and Qi Ruxue in the first-floor living room feeling very bewildered. Someone delivering a love letter in the middle of the night and then just leaving straight away—wasn’t that a bit too odd?

Little did they know that as soon as Ye Tianchen entered his room, he rapidly erected a Superpower Isolation Net. It was not very large, just encompassing a couple of meters of space around him, because Ye Tianchen felt a strong energy fluctuating within the envelope. Should it explode, he feared it might blow the entire villa sky-high.

The greatest advantage of the Superpower Isolation Net was that it not only isolated all sound but could also contain the range of any explosion within the net. Of course, you had to reach a certain superpower realm to be able to control it.

Now within the two-meter space, Ye Tianchen had spread his Superpower Isolation Net. Holding the envelope in his left hand, he slowly extended his superpower perception into it. He could already feel a powerful energy vibration; he did not know how formidable this energy was, but he could not allow his mother, sister, and Qi Ruxue to be in any danger. That was why he had rushed into his room in the first place, locked the door, and erected the Superpower Isolation Net. Even if the vast energy within the envelope were to explode, he would contain it within a certain range, ensuring that even if he got hurt, his family would not.

The person behind this certainly bore no good intentions. If it were not for Ye Tianchen’s superpower perception being so powerful, he surely would not have detected the huge amount of energy hidden within the envelope. How could ordinary people like his little sister and mother possibly notice it? Once the envelope was opened, it would trigger a massive dispersion of energy, resulting in an explosion. From what Ye Tianchen could currently sense, he feared the entire villa might be blown away. If he had not been at home, and his mother and sister had opened it, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Who could be so malicious? Ye Tianchen was already intent on killing, determined to eradicate this threat.

Who would have imagined that such immense energy could be hidden inside a small envelope? Ye Tianchen was extremely cautious, for this was a kind of advanced superpower skill, compressing massive superpower to the size of a grain of rice. The seemingly minuscule rice-sized grain, once exploded, could prove a hundred times more powerful than an atomic bomb. It was akin to the legendary Emperor-level Experts who could hold stars in their hands; such was the power of this cultivation skill.

Swish!

In a swift move, Ye Tianchen opened the white envelope in his left hand, and instantly, a massive energy burst forth. Even Ye Tianchen felt a sense of crisis and quickly formed a Superpower Light Shield in front of him.

Boom!

It was a deafening blast, but Ye Tianchen had contained it within the Superpower Isolation Net. Otherwise, underestimating the energy and technique of the explosion, not only might his family’s villa be blown to smithereens, but the entire villa area would have been leveled to the ground. It seemed the person who sent the letter intended to send the whole Ye family to the heavens—utterly ruthless.

Within the Superpower Isolation Net, along with the loud bang, cracks appeared on the Superpower Light Shield in front of Ye Tianchen. He had always focused on defensive power, putting much effort into the Superpower Light Shield. This was the first time someone had managed to crack it, indicating how terrible the energy released from the envelope was. Even the Superpower Isolation Net nearly collapsed. The caster’s ability to control such vast energy within a small envelope was a potent skill that left Ye Tianchen profoundly shaken. Clearly, his opponent was a highly formidable Superpower User, not to be underestimated.

At that moment, a line of words began to float up in front of Ye Tianchen, written with superpower energy. Once they appeared, they would instantly disperse, yet they provided enough time for one to read them clearly.

”Ye Tianchen, you killed my Xuanyuan family’s descendants. I want all of your Ye family to suffer and die, leaving no survivors. If you are still alive, that’s even better. I want you to watch with your own eyes as your loved ones die one by one in front of you!”

A challenge, a threat, and an intimidation—a declaration of war from the Xuanyuan family. Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows. He had not anticipated the Xuanyuan family’s retaliation to come so swiftly, nor did he expect there to be such a master within the Xuanyuan family. This might be the most formidable opponent he had encountered since his rebirth to date. Simply the fact that the envelope contained a huge energy bomb was astonishing; even Ye Tianchen did not dare take it lightly.

”The Xuanyuan family, it seems I need to prepare early,” Ye Tianchen thought as he clenched his right hand, and the words in front of him shattered. A flicker of anger appeared in his eyes. Faced with the domineering and oppressive Xuanyuan family, Ye Tianchen felt no fear. Instead, he pondered how to eradicate the Xuanyuan family while protecting his family. With the enemy now at his doorstep, it was too late not to fight back.

Thud, thud!

Knocking sounds came from outside the bedroom door, and along with them was his mother’s voice: ”Tianchen, have you finished reading? Come out and take Ruxue for a walk!”

Ye Tianchen knew his mother was worried about him. Perhaps he could deceive his little sister Ye Qianwen by claiming it was a love letter, but he could not fool his clever mother Luo Yan. He couldn’t help but take a sharp breath at this thought. If he had not been home today, the consequences for his mother and sister would have been unimaginable.

”Dad, Mom, little sister, I will definitely protect you. No matter who it is, if they dare to threaten your safety, I’ll make sure they won’t live to see tomorrow’s sun. Since heaven has favored me with this life, since I am reborn, then I must safeguard everything I now possess—my family, my friends. Who dares dishonor them? They’ll pay with their lives!” Ye Tianchen resolved in his heart and walked towards the bedroom door. (To be continued.
