Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 338: Chapter 337 [Emperor-level Expert, Invincible in the Universe]

Capital City, by the small lake where the young master Longteng resided, no one knew whether Young Master Longteng was nostalgic or if this fellow was aloof with some issues in his spirit, but he was still fishing by the lake. The entire lakefront had long been devoid of any guards. For someone as powerful as Young Master Longteng, elite bodyguards and first-class guardians were no longer needed, having them was just for show.

Young Master Longteng’s strength was undeniable. There had been legends that Young Master Longteng, only thirty years old, could enter the Divine List, ranking among the world’s top ten most formidable people. How exaggerated and powerful was that? As such, Young Master Longteng was his own best protection.

The more Ye Tianchen learned, the more he felt that Young Master Longteng was unfathomable. This was an opponent who could bring him real obstacles and could very likely become his true archenemy. Therefore, regarding his duel with Young Master Longteng, Ye Tianchen was also very cautious. This was an opponent he absolutely couldn’t underestimate.

”Young master, there’s news from the Black Mist Forest. Ye Tianchen has killed Sato!” Moushu said, walking up behind Young Master Longteng.

”Sato, being among the top ten in the Beichen One-Blade School, is immensely powerful. Even I, without having truly battled him, don’t have absolute confidence in defeating him. Ye Tianchen’s strength is increasing rapidly,” Young Master Longteng frowned and said.

Moushu was also stunned for a moment. He had followed Young Master Longteng for nearly ten years. Although he had never seen Young Master Longteng make a move, he knew that this thirty-year-old man’s strength was absolutely formidable enough to make one tremble. A Five Elements Superpower User, he had concurrently cultivated all five mainstream Great Superpower Skills, and each major category could unleash powerful Killing Skills. How terrifying was that?

If Ye Tianchen knew that Young Master Longteng had cultivated all five Great Superpower Skills, suppressing and accommodating five kinds of energies within his body, he would be greatly shocked. Not to mention the Earth of this era, even in the apocalypse stars, such superpower users were extremely rare. Five Elements superpower users are innately powerful; legend has it that as long as such superpower users don’t encounter any major issues and continue to suppress the five different superpowers coexisting in their bodies, they will inevitably become Emperor-level experts.

Emperor-level experts, tearing apart the void, breaking stars, pursuing the secret of Eternal Life, and becoming the strongest in the universe, had reached a height that all cultivators could look up to. Over the past million years, the Emperor-level experts that Ye Tianchen knew of in legends were limited to Li Bai only.

Li Bai was the only Emperor-level expert named in the apocalypse stars, rumored to be able to pluck stars and roam the universe with his physical body alone, having long left the apocalypse stars in search of the secret to Eternal Life. Even for a powerhouse like him, his lifespan was at most ten thousand years. Eternal Life had become an eternal topic among all cultivators, and the vast and mysterious universe still had many unexplored areas, waiting to be discovered.

”No matter how strong Ye Tianchen becomes, he won’t be a match for you, young master!” Moushu said.

Young Master Longteng paused for a moment, then shook his head and set down his fishing rod. His voice was still quite indifferent as he spoke, ”Moushu, I remember you are not one to flatter, and the reason you became my close strategist is not only because you are intelligent and strategic, but more importantly, you tell me the truth. You never flatter. I think you’ve somewhat forgotten that...”

Upon hearing Young Master Longteng’s words, Moushu was completely stunned. In the next moment, he was already kneeling on the ground. Having followed this most powerful young master for many years, Moushu understood Young Master Longteng well. This young master, who was almost never angry, would execute anyone displeasing to him, regardless of their status. Even if Moushu had been following Young Master Longteng for ten years and had made numerous contributions, it absolutely could not guarantee that Young Master Longteng would spare his life.

”Young master, I...” Moushu said with a trembling voice.

”Consider this a warning this time. If it happens again, you’ll be feeding the fish in this lake. That you are still with me day and night is also a return for your ten years of service!” Young Master Longteng said coldly.

”Yes, young master, thank you for sparing my life!” Moushu said, trembling with fear.

At that moment, Young Master Longteng picked up the fishing rod again and cast the bait-less hook back into the lake water. Observing the rather small lake, Young Master Longteng’s superpower perception underwent countless changes, and he had everything under control. Ever since he had initially succeeded in cultivating all five Great Superpower Skills, he had never made a move again. Perhaps during his younger days, he still wanted to battle against the ten strongest people in the world, to see if he could enter the ranks of the world’s strongest before the age of thirty.

However, Young Master Longteng later gave up. He didn’t do so because there was no need. He might not be the strongest person in the world but was already the strongest person in China, controlling many things. If he wished, he might even have China under his control. This wasn’t alarmist talk. A powerhouse who had cultivated the Five Elements superpower skills once he became Emperor would then become the strongest in the universe, supremely unparalleled. A minor planet could be destroyed with a wave of his hand, let alone controlling a country.

As for Young Master Longteng’s current strength and level, he had already stepped into the Emperor-level, incredibly powerful. With him cultivating all five Great Superpower Skills together, there were five different superpower energies harbored in his body. Each superpower skill was complemented by a Great Killing Skill. How formidable was that? It goes without saying, given that Ye Tianchen, currently able to use three superpower skills each paired with a Great Killing Skill, could kill enemies even higher in realm than himself. So how strong was Young Master Longteng? Perhaps the word ”freakish” might suffice to describe him!

”Alright, I’ll summon Blood Mist. I think this time I’ll let him make a move. If even he can’t kill Ye Tianchen, I’ll take action myself. That would truly warrant my personal involvement!” Dragon Teng Da Shao said with a hint of a smile in his voice.

”Yes!” Moushu nodded and stepped back.

Soon, a figure enveloped in Blood Mist stood behind Dragon Teng Da Shao and asked with a cold, piercing voice, ”Da Shao, you called for me?”

”Blood Mist, do you have the Fish Intestine Sword with you?” Dragon Teng Da Shao asked.

”It’s with me, Da Shao. Do you mean...” Blood Mist paused.

”Use it to bring back Ye Tianchen’s head. If you can’t, don’t bother returning. I’ll take action myself,” Dragon Teng Da Shao said indifferently.

”I understand, Da Shao. By the way, the people from Kitashin Ittoryu have requested to see you!” Blood Mist reported.

The people from Kitashin Ittoryu had colluded with Dragon Teng Da Shao. Murong Yudou nearly got killed at the Zhang family estate, which was where Dragon Teng Da Shao had sent someone. He had bribed people like Guitian Yilang because of a deep-seated grudge his ancestors had against the Murong family. He yearned to wipe out everyone in the Murong family but knew that some matters, even for someone as powerful as him, required careful planning and could not be resolved with reckless actions.

This time, Kitashin Ittoryu aimed to wipe out the Chinese border special forces at the edge of Black Mist Forest while garnering information on the troops stationed there. They even sent a formidable figure like Sato. However, Ye Tianchen and Cang Lang’s arrival completely foiled Japan’s plans, causing an uproar back in Japan, especially since no one anticipated that Ye Tianchen would kill Sato. This was the greatest disgrace for Kitashin Ittoryu in a century, and they were sure to seek revenge. For them, killing Sato was a direct slap to their face, and they would not let this go lightly.

Now that Ye Tianchen had returned to China, the Kitashin Ittoryu from Japan sought vengeance for Sato and wished to erase their disgrace. They needed to sneak into China to kill Ye Tianchen. Everyone knew that over these years, China’s rapid development had significantly strengthened its power in various aspects, no longer making it the feeble country of the past. Now, any nation, including M Country, had to think twice before taking any action against China, making it extremely difficult for Kitashin Ittoryu to infiltrate China. If discovered, they would not only fail to kill Ye Tianchen but also risk being surrounded and killed by Chinese experts.

That’s why Kitashin Ittoryu approached Dragon Teng Da Shao. Previously, Dragon Teng Da Shao had hired the likes of Guitian Yilang to kill Murong Yudou. Although it was thwarted by Ye Tianchen, the fact that Dragon Teng Da Shao maintained some connections and wasn’t a man to be easily understood. With his help, killing Ye Tianchen would be much easier.

”The people of Kitashin Ittoryu want to kill Ye Tianchen, to avenge Sato. But really, they are not just avenging Sato but trying to save face for Kitashin Ittoryu,” Dragon Teng Da Shao said with a cold smirk.

”So, Da Shao, you mean...”

”Help the people from Kitashin Ittoryu to smoothly enter China. Let them come in as many as they wish. It would be even better if Sword Emperor himself came. Then I wouldn’t have to go to Japan to meet the Sword Emperor and see for myself how strong this world’s top three expert really is!” Dragon Teng Da Shao said, seemingly very pleased.

”I understand, Da Shao!”

Blood Mist withdrew. The showdown between Ye Tianchen and Dragon Teng Da Shao was getting closer by the day. Not only did Dragon Teng Da Shao feel the immense power of Ye Tianchen, but Ye Tianchen also sensed the unfathomable depth of Dragon Teng Da Shao. The inevitable battle between them caused Ye Tianchen to feel a sense of uncertainty about life and death for the first time before the fight had even begun.

”Kill them, Ye Tianchen. I look forward to you killing the Kitashin Ittoryu people, and even better if you kill Blood Mist too. That way, I can kill you without any reservations!” Dragon Teng Da Shao said with a cruel smile on his lips. (To be continued.
