Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 289: Chapter 288 [Intercept the 13 Leopard Kings]

Ye Tianchen had just led the Thirteen Heavenly Kings out of Kyoto Airport when he received a call from Cang Lang, informing him that the Ouyang family had made a move against the Ye family. He wasn’t worried at all; on the contrary, he was pleased. The battle with the Xuanyuan family had greatly boosted the reputation of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, and this battle with the Ouyang family was destined to astonish all the major clans and forces. He wanted them to know that attacking the Ye family would no longer be as easy as kneading clay; they would need to weigh their actions carefully.

The Thirteen Heavenly Kings had just gone to Sichuan Province and succeeded in annihilating the hidden Xuanyuan family in their first battle, lifting everyone’s spirits. Perhaps some people had previously doubted Ye Tianchen’s capabilities, thinking that this twenty-year-old, despite his exceptional skills, was too young and lacked the calmness to accomplish great things. Now, they realized that Ye Tianchen possessed not only unfathomable strength but also a clever mind. Everything was well planned. With such a leader, why worry about lacking an exciting and stimulating life? Why worry that they could not make the name of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings known?

Now, Ye Tianchen was determined to quickly establish the name of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings. He was not a man to hesitate or delay. Since he had decided to establish his own power and protect his family, to once again raise the Ye family to the status of a first-class family, he would do so.

The Ye family had declined over the past three or four decades. From a first-class major family, they had been reduced to a third-class family, becoming a laughingstock throughout Capital City. It seemed that anyone could provoke and bully them, truly an ordeal. If it weren’t for the elder, Ye Yuanshan, who knows what they would have become. Thus, Ye Tianchen’s first mission was to let other major families and forces know that the current Ye family had changed. It was no longer the family they could bully or suppress at will. Anyone who dared to touch them would definitely face bloody consequences.

”Very well, let’s set out now, heading to the Ouyang family!” Ye Tianchen said sternly.

”Yes, big brother!” the Thirteen Heavenly Kings responded in unison.

Just after Ye Tianchen led the Thirteen Heavenly Kings from Kyoto Airport to the Ouyang family, a tall, beautiful blonde woman wearing sunglasses and dressed in leather garments also emerged from Kyoto Airport. This person was none other than Alice, who had been tracking Ye Tianchen, looking for an opportunity to eliminate him. If possible, she intended to bring Ye Tianchen’s head back to M-country, as that was something Hei Bama very much wanted to see.

With the strength of a nation, it’s not difficult to find the hiding places of these hidden families, regardless of how powerful they are. These hidden families involve many aspects. Any move against them could impact the lives of ordinary citizens, and typically the government doesn’t interfere as long as these families do not threaten the lives and property of others. Although they would like to exterminate and control them, as long as there is evil, there is good. The world will always have both good and bad people; it’s not possible to eliminate them all.

Alice glanced at the place where Ye Tianchen and others had gotten into their car and left, then hailed a taxi. She spoke in fluent Chinese, ”Please take me to the Sea King Group.”

”Alright!” the driver replied with a smile.

This time, Alice did not follow Ye Tianchen but headed to the Sea King Group instead. As the head of the M-country intelligence agency, she had access to many of the world’s most confidential pieces of information. She knew a lot about Ye Tianchen, except how powerful he actually was and whether she could assassinate him while trying to get close.

On the previous night, Ye Tianchen had led the Thirteen Heavenly Kings to a desert island in the artificial Dead Sea and eradicated the Xuanyuan family. Alice had been standing on the beach, watching everything unfold. Though she did not know what exactly happened on the island or the scale of the battle Ye Tianchen and his people had fought, when Ye Tianchen and Asura faced each other in the ultimate duel, even with the Superpower Isolation Net covering the island, vast waves of energy fluctuation still escaped, stirring up monstrous waves around the island. Watching this scene made Alice’s brows tightly knit together, allowing her to imagine the magnitude of power it took to cause such a disturbance. Ye Tianchen was just as Thomas had said, very profound and unfathomable.

Thus, as the head of M-country’s intelligence agency and a beautiful, smart woman, Alice knew that even though she was skilled, she absolutely could not kill Ye Tianchen face to face in a fair fight. To eliminate Ye Tianchen in a fair battle was impossible; she would have to approach him stealthily, and perhaps under the guise of seduction, to succeed in her mission.

As an agent, there was no such thing as fairness or baseness; their ultimate goal was to complete the mission, by any means necessary. Completing the mission was always the priority; failing to do so meant everything was in vain. Alice, being the head of the M-country intelligence agency, understood this well. This time, President Hei Bama was very angry, considering it a personal and national humiliation. Ye Tianchen must be killed, but obviously, this had to be done in secret; Hei Bama could not afford to lose face. Therefore, Alice also felt the heavy weight of her mission. She needed to head to the Sea King Group first to find an opportunity to get close to Ye Tianchen.

At this time, Ye Tianchen, accompanied by the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, rushed to an abandoned factory in Capital City. According to the information Cang Lang provided, the Ouyang family’s top assassin, Iron Leopard, would lead his Thirteen Leopard Kings to gather at the abandoned factory and proceed to annihilate the Ye family. Previously, assassins from the Ouyang family who had been surveilling Ye Tianchen’s home and the Ye family’s ancestral house had already taken action, but Cang Lang and his men had stopped them. Otherwise, the Ye family might have already been obliterated. Now, what Ye Tianchen needed to do was to lead the Thirteen Heavenly Kings to confront the Thirteen Leopard Kings, to determine a winner, and to see who was the true king!

Meanwhile, what Ye Tianchen didn’t know was that his greatest enemy to come, a Five Elements Superpower User named Long Teng, who also had cultivated five major types of superpower skills simultaneously, was dispatching his first attack. Previously, he merely scorned the necessity to confront Ye Tianchen, viewing him as beneath consideration. This time, he had sent one of his men, a person named Blood Demon Jiao, with specific instructions from Moushu not to kill Ye Tianchen but just to cut off an arm and take it back for amusement.

Up to now, Long Teng was merely curious about Ye Tianchen and could say he hadn’t taken him seriously. In the past, he felt a loneliness that only a skilled expert could experience, but he now found Ye Tianchen somewhat entertaining. So, he planned to toy with him a bit more.

After an hour, Ye Tianchen and the Thirteen Heavenly Kings had already arrived at the abandoned factory. The surroundings were quiet, not seeming like a place where people were gathering. Quickly deploying his Superpower Perception, Ye Tianchen’s lips curled into a cold smile; he knew Iron Leopard was hiding with his Thirteen Leopard Kings around the factory. It seemed they, too, knew he was coming with the Thirteen Heavenly Kings. Clearly, the Ouyang family was a powerful force, seemingly stronger than the Xuanyuan family; otherwise, their information network wouldn’t be so extensive. Obviously, there were insiders from the Ouyang family at high levels within the government.

Of course, dealing with these moles would come after cleaning up the Ouyang family. The most urgent task was to eliminate the Thirteen Leopard Kings and then observe the Ouyang family’s reaction. If possible, after annihilating the Xuanyuan family, Ye Tianchen would destroy the Ouyang family next. He didn’t care about the magnitude of the impact. Once he made his move, it would be hard to stop.

Ye Tianchen surveyed the deserted factory and then glanced at the weeds around him, taller than a person. Just a moment ago, using his Superpower Perception, he had detected several strong bursts of energy. Although these people hid themselves well, completely undetectable to ordinary people, they couldn’t evade Ye Tianchen’s keen perception. What stunned Ye Tianchen a bit was that the strength of the Ouyang family’s Thirteen Leopard Kings was formidable, perhaps even matching that of his own Thirteen Heavenly Kings. This would be a tough and truly brutal fight, far tougher than those first-class assassins from the Xuanyuan family. These Thirteen Leopard Kings were truly strong, having been selected and honed by the Ouyang family over many years and further trained by Iron Leopard, a powerhouse comparable to Asura, turning them into killing machines.

”Be careful, everyone. We’ll split up now. I can only tell you that these people are strong, not weaker than you!” Ye Tianchen solemnly said.

”Hmm!” The Thirteen Heavenly Kings all nodded their heads.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Thirteen Heavenly Kings, established by Ye Tianchen, were certainly not for show. Each one was a top-notch expert. Many were not frightened by Ye Tianchen’s words; instead, they became even more thrilled. People like Wuxue, Wang Jie, and Bao Tianglong were particularly excited, their eyes gleaming. In the battle where they wiped out the Xuanyuan family, big brother Ye Tianchen had defeated the strongest Asura, leaving them without a chance to fight, which they regretted. Now, facing the strong Ouyang family’s Thirteen Leopard Kings, they were excited.

Glancing ahead, Ye Tianchen slightly smiled and walked toward the abandoned factory. He knew the Thirteen Leopard Kings of the Ouyang family were fierce veterans and would be formidable foes for the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, possibly resulting in casualties. Yet, he wasn’t overly concerned. The Thirteen Heavenly Kings had only recently been formed; although all were skilled, they still needed training and unity. Without experiencing numerous life-and-death battles, they couldn’t truly develop.

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen had only taken a few steps forward when a figure dashed toward him like lightning. The person was not yet close when a bare punch with tremendous Qi Force swept through the high weeds, carving a path straight toward Ye Tianchen. (To be continued.
