Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 559: Chapter 558 [No More Tolerance Required]

Zhang Shihao was Liu Rumei’s cousin and had always been lurking around the Liu family. He was a man with crooked intentions. The reason why he persistently pursued Liu Rumei, unafraid of the issues of her reputation or the problems of marrying a close relative, was because he always put on a calm and composed, respectful and wise demeanor. Not only was he extremely filial to Liu Feng, but he also demonstrated how deeply he cherished Liu Rumei. His sole purpose was once Liu Rumei married him, he would then become the Liu family’s son-in-law, and since he was her cousin, it was hinted that Liu Feng intended to hand over the Liu family to his granddaughter Liu Rumei someday. It seemed to be only a matter of time. Once Liu Rumei took charge and Liu Feng died, Zhang Shihao would get the wealth and power he desired. As for anything else, he naturally didn’t give it much thought and didn’t regard it as important.

Therefore, when Zhang Shihao encountered Ye Tianchen, he was also very shocked. He had not expected that after so many years, this brat would dare to show up at the Liu family’s doorstep. As a man who loved Liu Rumei deeply, of course, he wouldn’t show a friendly face to Ye Tianchen, who had once brought shame upon Liu Rumei. He was hostile and looked at him with great hatred, wishing he could kill Ye Tianchen. This would show just how much he loved Liu Rumei. He saw in Ye Tianchen an opportunity to further showcase to everyone that Zhang Shihao was the one who loved Liu Rumei the most. That’s why he blocked Ye Tianchen, to use him, and deep down, he really looked down upon him.

What Zhang Shihao absolutely hadn’t expected was that the current Ye Tianchen was no longer the Ye Tianchen of a few years ago. He didn’t look for trouble, but he definitely wasn’t afraid of it either. If you provoked him, his response would simply be a pair of iron fists. So when Zhang Shihao arrogantly and haughtily blocked Ye Tianchen, thinking he could humiliate him as before, or even beat him up, unfortunately, it was him who got slapped twice first.

After giving Zhang Shihao two slaps, Ye Tianchen looked on indifferently. He didn’t leave, nor did he continue to strike. Listening to Zhang Shihao’s pig-like screaming, trying to attract the attention of the Liu family’s guards to teach him a lesson, Ye Tianchen just waited. Since the moment he entered the Liu family compound, Li San caused him trouble, and now with the appearance of Zhang Shihao, Ye Tianchen understood something. He came to the Liu family this time to discuss something with Liu Rumei, not to bring up the past or to show off his might, but looking at the current situation, he realized he had to show his hand, or else more trouble would likely follow. He was compelled by necessity.

”Ye Tianchen, enough, let’s go!” Yong Chun Tai didn’t want the situation to escalate, after all, she was from the Liu family and had to consider their interests. Although she disliked the hypocritical Zhang Shihao, she didn’t want to really alarm the elderly master, Liu Feng.

”Don’t worry, I know my limits. Yong Chun Tai, don’t stop me, otherwise, I’ll really start hitting,” Ye Tianchen said to Yong Chun Tai with a smile.

Yong Chun Tai was taken aback, glared at Ye Tianchen irritably but was helpless. This guy’s strength was unfathomable, and in just a few months without seeing him, his Cultivation Realm had increased a lot. Even she was no match for Ye Tianchen. If he really struck with full force, even the strong defenses of the Liu family would probably suffer immeasurable losses. It seemed that this lad was not joking around. Moreover, Yong Chun Tai herself wasn’t too impressed with Zhang Shihao and even felt some aversion towards him. Given her status, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to reprimand Zhang Shihao, so letting Ye Tianchen teach Zhang Shihao a lesson also felt right, to stop him from being arrogant within the Liu family and acting like he owned the place.

”I don’t care about you, lad. The young miss is still waiting. See for yourself!”” Yong Chun Tai said irritably.

”Don’t worry, it will be resolved quickly!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

By this time, Zhang Shihao, his face covered in blood from the slapping, was furiously glaring at Ye Tianchen. He wished he could devour Ye Tianchen, but he knew he was no match for him. That’s why he shouted that someone was attacking the Liu family so the guards would come. These people definitely wouldn’t let Ye Tianchen off the hook. Once Ye Tianchen was caught, Zhang Shihao could do to him whatever he wished.

Zhang Shihao glanced at Yong Chun Tai and seeing that the guards of the Liu family hadn’t arrived yet, fiercely said, ”Yong Chun Tai, you are a member of our Liu family, yet you’re helping an outsider, betraying us. The old master will never spare you.”

”Rubbish! When was it your turn to command me? Not even the old master would talk to me like this. Who do you think you are? No wonder the young miss doesn’t like you, knowing you’re a sanctimonious hypocrite,” Yong Chun Tai replied angrily.

”You... Yong Chun Tai, think carefully. Once I marry Rumei, the Liu family will be my world. You dare to treat me this way now, you’ll suffer the consequences later,” Zhang Shihao, confused by the slaps from Ye Tianchen and having lost his pretentious persona, was now completely displaying the attitude of an arrogant and overbearing wastrel.

Slap!

A loud slap sent Zhang Shihao flying a good three to four meters away, crashing heavily to the ground. At least several of his ribs were broken, and he was grimacing in pain, unable even to shout, only able to groan in disbelief as he looked at the person standing in front of him. This person was not Ye Tianchen but Yong Chun Tai; even she couldn’t help but strike him. Zhang Shihao felt a mix of shame, rage, and fear.

”I’ve been tolerating you for a long time,” Yong Chun Tai said sternly, glaring at Zhang Shihao.

Truth be told, Yong Chun Tai and Liu Rumei had long seen right through the true face of a person like Zhang Shihao. But Liu Feng, perhaps due to his old age or because he was always researching at the base, gradually lost the ability to see through a person’s character. Given Zhang Shihao’s convincing façade in front of Liu Feng, fooling Liu Feng completely and earning his trust, it was Liu Rumei who didn’t want to break her grandfather’s heart. After all, he was getting on in years, and his health was deteriorating. Liu Rumei wanted to fulfill her filial duties, so she had been enduring. Yong Chun Tai, after all, was an outsider and not a member of the Liu family, so it wasn’t her place to reprimand Zhang Shihao. Slapping Zhang Shihao this time meant she couldn’t bear it any longer.

”You... you dared to hit me?” Zhang Shihao struggled to stand up from the ground, his left hand covering his waist, at least two ribs broken. A strike from Yong Chun Tai was much heavier than Ye Tianchen’s.

Smack!

The unfortunate Zhang Shihao should never have messed with Ye Tianchen, let alone Yong Chun Tai. Not only was he slapped bloody by Ye Tianchen, but also left in a daze with several broken ribs from Yong Chun Tai’s slaps. Always arrogant in the Liu family by wielding their power, and just as haughty outside, Zhang Shihao totally brought trouble upon himself today when he ran into a tough opponent.

Yong Chun Tai’s second slap sent Zhang Shihao flying, crashing heavily onto the ground. He didn’t even manage a grunt before he temporarily passed out. Ye Tianchen was astonished as he watched, then chuckled and said, ”Yong Chun Tai, you told me not to beat him to death, but it seems like it’s you who wants his life!”

”Don’t give me that, kid. I’ve wanted to teach Zhang Shihao a lesson for a long time!” Yong Chun Tai said, glancing at Ye Tianchen.

”Good job, good job...” Ye Tianchen said with a mischievous grin.

Just then, a patrol team of ten people jogged over to Ye Tianchen and Yong Chun Tai. The leader was a middle-aged man who glanced at Zhang Shihao on the ground, then at Ye Tianchen and Yong Chun Tai, and asked, ”What happened here?”

Yong Chun Tai was about to speak when Ye Tianchen cut in. Looking at the middle-aged man, he said, ”You all are from the Falcon Unit, right?”

”Who are you? What are you doing breaking into the Liu family in the middle of the night?” The middle-aged man asked Ye Tianchen intently.

”Not much, just wanted to see Liu Rumei and beat up Zhang Shihao,” Ye Tianchen replied indifferently and nonchalantly.

”Humph, such arrogance. You really don’t take our Falcon Unit seriously. Seize him,” said the middle-aged man, his anger rising at Ye Tianchen’s casual demeanor as he gave the order on the spot.

Whoosh!

The very next moment, as soon as the middle-aged man had given the order, several armed members of the Falcon Unit were about to apprehend Ye Tianchen. However, before they could even move, Ye Tianchen had already vanished from the spot. By the time everyone realized what had happened, Ye Tianchen was standing in front of the middle-aged man, his right-hand index and middle fingers pressed against the man’s throat. With just a little more pressure, he could pierce through the man’s windpipe, certainly killing him.

Not only was the middle-aged man stunned, but all the members of the Falcon Unit were taken aback. Their hands tight on their guns, they dared not make another move. They had never expected this young man to possess such formidable strength, not even their squad leader could match him or even get a chance to react. Given the middle-aged man was at the Early Stage of the Martial King rank, his skill was far from weak even among the Falcon Unit. No one had ever seen someone subdue him with a single move—Ye Tianchen was the first.

”You...”

”Yan Long of the Falcon Unit, one of the three great War Kings of China, might be able to fight me, but the rest of you are no match. Don’t waste time; disperse!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile, as he loosened his index and middle fingers.

Watching Ye Tianchen turn to leave, the middle-aged man recovered from his shock and gestured. The nine members of the Falcon Unit beside him raised their guns and fired a barrage of bullets at Ye Tianchen...(To be continued.
