Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 304: Chapter 303 [Ghostly Strongman]

Ye Tianchen was able to defeat the four black-clad assassins in an instant; the primary reason was his rebirth from the brink of death, emerging from a bath of fire. After being treated by Zhang Yide, and due to Zhang Ruotong’s special constitution, who sacrificed her virginity to heal him, Ye Tianchen’s strength increased significantly. At that moment, he was at his peak, improving in every aspect. Although he had not yet broken through to a new realm, he was on the verge of possessing the combat power of the Emperor Level Realm, which allowed him to overpower the four black-clad assassins.

”I’m curious if the son of Dragon Rise came here himself, and if he did, I would kill him now!”

Ye Tianchen did not underestimate the son of Dragon Rise at all; this was a very mysterious and formidable person, arguably the toughest opponent Ye Tianchen had faced since his rebirth on Earth. Not only did this person wield immense power, commanding a group of very strong individuals, but his own strength was also unfathomable and would undoubtedly be a great enemy to Ye Tianchen in the future. Ye Tianchen always took him very seriously and never let his guard down. He spoke this way to see if, by any chance, the son of Dragon Rise was lurking around, to provoke him into revealing himself and provide an opportunity to assess his strength.

”You’re no match for our young master; you don’t deserve him to take action personally!” The tall assassin managed to stand up, despite blood pouring from his mouth. Ye Tianchen’s punch had almost shattered his heart, and the fact that he survived such a blow demonstrated his resilience.

”No matter, he wanted your heads, didn’t he? I’m sure he’ll be delighted when your heads are presented before him!”

In the face of enemies, Ye Tianchen was never merciful, especially not with formidable ones. Showing mercy would only leave him with endless troubles. Ye Tianchen was not a bloodthirsty man, nor a merciful one; he had his principles, and those who needed to be killed, must be killed.

Just as Ye Tianchen was about to act and decapitate the four assassins to send their heads back to the son of Dragon Rise, he suddenly furrowed his brow. Taking just a step forward, he stopped in place, intently staring ahead, where a blood-red mist rolled in. The pungent smell and the scent of the Death God lingered; even stones turned to dust in its wake, a sight of terror.

Whoosh, whoosh, an eerie wind began to blow. The four black-clad assassins, who were very strong themselves and held Divine Weapons, would not fear even the mightiest opponents since they could surely defend themselves. Yet now, all four showed expressions of unspeakable horror, as though they knew some monster was approaching.

”No good, big brother... big brother is here...” The tall assassin stammered in fear.

”What to do, what to do...” The short assassin also wore a gloomy expression as he spoke.

Ye Tianchen frowned; he too felt a thick killing intent, one even stronger than that accumulated by the four assassins combined. The person approaching emitted a killing intent that was more formidable than all four of them together.

And to frighten these four top assassins to such an extent, it was clear that the newcomer was terrifying and had means to instill deep fear in people.

”Big brother...” Wuxue couldn’t help but call out.

”All of you, step back, I will handle this!” Ye Tianchen commanded solemnly at that moment.

Wuxue and the others looked ahead at the cloud of Blood Mist, knowing it was dangerous, but they still retreated. They understood that if they rushed in now, they wouldn’t be able to assist their big brother, but would only hinder Ye Tianchen, preventing him from fighting freely. At this moment, the best course of action was to stand aside and not distract Ye Tianchen from protecting them.

”Keke, you four are a disgrace for not being able to take down a mere Ye Tianchen. What use is there in living?” A ghostly voice arose, seemingly from the Nine Netherworld Hell, spine-chilling to the point of causing one’s hair to stand on end and sending a cold shiver down to the soul.

”Boss... Ah...”

Puff!

The fat man was the closest to the mist, and before he could fully voice his shock, a black claw shot out from the Blood Mist, snapping his neck and twisting his head off. Blood shot into the sky, a display of brutal savagery, scaring the other three black-clad assassins into involuntary retreat, as though running for their lives.

Regrettably, the remaining three black-clad assassins could not escape the fate of having their necks snapped. All four assassins had been decapitated, dying a gruesome death, and the one who killed them was their leader, a person completely devoid of mercy, equally indifferent to killing whomever, as if they were mere logs, with great skill and a heart utterly cold, like that of a dead man.

During this process, even though the strikes from the person within the mist were rapid, almost imperceptible, Ye Tianchen observed that the individual’s hands were definitely covered in metal, including the fingers sheathed in black metal, similar to eagle claws. This was likely his weapon, and it was possible that his entire body was enshrouded by such material, denying anyone the sight of his true face and leaving his identity unknown.

”To kill your own subordinates who have followed you for so many years, don’t you think you’re too cruel?” Ye Tianchen frowned and said.

”Hmph, subordinates? They were nothing but four dogs, and now they have become four useless dogs. What’s the point of keeping them around? It would be better if they died sooner!” The person within the Blood Mist still did not show themselves, and no one could see his appearance. Only his ghostly voice, drifting and unpredictable, could be heard.

”If you can’t kill me, Dragon Teng won’t let you off the hook either. Are you prepared to twist off your own neck?” Ye Tianchen asked indifferently.

”No, my mission this time is not to kill you, but to see your strength. I abide by the young master’s orders, although I can’t wait to fight you!” the person within the Blood Mist said coldly.

”Then let’s fight, I was also thinking the same!” Ye Tianchen said decisively, knowing that the person hidden in the Blood Mist was very strong. If he did not kill him now, it would be difficult to have such an opportunity later, and he would become a great threat.

”But the young master has strict orders, to tell the truth, you are strong, and I really want to kill you. It’s been almost ten years since I’ve killed anyone. You should feel honored...” the person within the Blood Mist couldn’t help saying.

”Then let me be honored...”

Ye Tianchen rarely took the initiative to strike, but this time he clenched his right fist tightly, positioning himself at the peak of King-level Superpower Realm. He did not underestimate the person in the Blood Mist. This person’s strength was definitely not comparable to the four beheaded assassins in black. They were not on the same level. Of course, if the first move wasn’t his strongest, it could cost him his life. This was the nature of high-level fights: one wrong move, and one could die miserably.

Wuxue and the other twelve people were also nervously watching this scene. They felt the strength of the person within the Blood Mist. If any one of them made a move, even at full strength, they wouldn’t be able to overcome him. It was unimaginable. This suggested how monstrously strong Dragon Teng must be. Dealing with this person would not be an easy, short-term matter.

Bang!

A huge black palm, like an arm sheathed in a layer of black armor, slapped directly towards Ye Tianchen with dominant and overbearing force, aiming to crush Ye Tianchen’s head with a single swipe.

Swish!

Ye Tianchen struck back with a punch, unleashing his full might at the peak of King-level Superpower Realm, not backing down an inch as his fist crashed against the palm.

Boom!

There was only a muffled sound. Ye Tianchen stood motionless in his spot. The ground beneath his feet had cracked in all directions, and the Blood Mist where the ghostly figure hid almost dispersed, barely managing to stabilize, almost revealing his location.

This was merely a test of their strength, and yet both parties had unleashed such a powerful strike that everything within a hundred-meter radius was obliterated. Wuxue and the others trembled with fear, imagining how much energy must have been contained in what seemed to be a casual palm strike and punch.

After the exchange of blows, Ye Tianchen did not attack again, and the ghostly figure hiding in the Blood Mist also refrained from another assault. They were both astonished by the other’s strength. A full-on battle would certainly have demolished the area. Besides, the person in the Blood Mist had not received an order from Dragon Teng to kill Ye Tianchen. He had just come to gauge Ye Tianchen’s strength, and now he knew.

”You are strong. I will convey this to Dragon Teng. I hope you can survive for a while longer!” the person within the Blood Mist said with the same elusive and unpredictable voice.

”Take these four heads back with you as well, to show Dragon Teng. Also, tell him that I, Ye Tianchen, am waiting for his arrival,” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Alright!”

The person from within the Blood Mist did not say much, just took the heads of the four black-clad assassins and left. Ye Tianchen did not pursue to fight because he felt it was not necessary. It would be difficult to kill the person within the Blood Mist quickly, especially when the other Twelve Heavenly Kings were severely injured. He did not want to risk any more accidents, as his brothers were hard to come by.

Aside from Wuxue and the other twelve members who witnessed everything, there was another person who was incredibly surprised. She watched Ye Tianchen with inscrutable eyes, feeling the strength of Ye Tianchen and becoming even less sure if she, even with a sneak attack, could kill Ye Tianchen. This person was Alice, who had driven Ye Tianchen back on her motorbike. (To be continued.
