Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 651: Chapter 650: Survive and Move Forward

[PS: Today’s second update is delivered. The content is incredibly fascinating, definitely something you want to see!]

In the south of New York City, USA, a deafening explosion shook the entire city, causing the ground to tremble. Many people thought a major earthquake had occurred and scrambled out of their buildings in fear. Some even jumped from their buildings, injuring themselves severely. It seems that the portrayal of foreigners in TV shows and movies, who remain calm in any situation, is nothing but a deceptive act.

The Demon Wolf died, entirely devoured by the Evil Sword. He brought this upon himself, for he had tried to unleash the power of the Evil Sword to kill Ye Tianchen by dripping his own blood onto it. Unbeknownst to him, the Evil Sword, as if awakening, consumed the Demon Wolf entirely, leaving not even a trace of his bones. Yet, it was under these circumstances that the Demon Wolf briefly controlled the Evil Sword, and a massive, earth-shattering Sword Qi slashed towards Ye Tianchen.

When Ye Tianchen couldn’t move and felt nearly desperate, he suddenly thought of Man Tian, remembered Man Tian’s strong will to serve the country loyally even in death. He recalled his promise to Man Tian that, even if he wasn’t the chief of the Heavenly Gang War General team, he would still contribute to the team. He couldn’t die. With a sudden realization, Ye Tianchen let out a loud roar, shouting ”Taoism.” This was the legacy of the Eight Diagrams Seal he had acquired serendipitously, which could absorb the forces from all directions and channel them into his body, unleashing unimaginable power with one breath.

Boom!

The explosion was as powerful as several atomic bombs detonating. The south of New York City, along with its vast forests and hills, was leveled to the ground. A mushroom cloud formed in the sky due to the enormous explosion. This explosion shook New York City, causing widespread panic. People ran out of their homes, and the US government in Washington received the news immediately, sending it straight to the White House.

Regardless of what Hei Bama would do, Ling Yuxun, who had been at the scene, was completely paralyzed by this evil force and couldn’t move at all. Following the deafening explosion, she fainted. When she regained consciousness, everything around her was enveloped in dense dust, limiting her sight to no more than a meter away. Ling Yuxun stood dumbfounded. She remembered the evil Sword Qi that had headed straight for Ye Tianchen. She didn’t know if Ye Tianchen had managed to evade it, but recalling that moment, it seemed that he couldn’t move at all...

Thinking of this, Ling Yuxun threw caution to the wind and scrambled toward the last place where Ye Tianchen had been. She kept falling as she ran but stubbornly got back up each time. Unable to see clearly ahead and unaware of the terrain, she continuously fell. Her clothes were torn, and she was bleeding, covered in mud, but Ling Yuxun didn’t care about that. She was just anxious to know how Ye Tianchen was doing...

”Tianchen, Tianchen, where are you, where are you?”

Ling Yuxun cried out as she struggled to get up and staggered forward. When she reached the last spot where Ye Tianchen had been, she froze, standing there dumbfounded because she saw a person leaning against a rock, covered in blood, riddled with wounds – that was clearly Ye Tianchen. He sat motionless, leaning against the rock, his eyes lifeless, staring ahead, seemingly unaware of Ling Yuxun’s arrival.

”Tianchen... Tianchen...”

Seeing Ye Tianchen transformed into this state, Ling Yuxun could no longer control her emotions. Tears flowed like a breached dam as she cried out loud, unable to accept that Ye Tianchen could die like this. This incident originally had nothing to do with Ye Tianchen; it was she who had sought his help. Despite everything, Ye Tianchen had brought people to rescue her and her grandfather, and in the end, he had even lost his own life. Thinking of this, Ling Yuxun’s heart ached, more painfully than if she had been killed.

”Tianchen, no!” Ling Yuxun hugged Ye Tianchen tightly, as if she were afraid he would disappear, and burst into loud sobs.

”Silly girl, that’s not me; it’s just my substitute. I’m right here...”

Suddenly, Ling Yuxun heard Ye Tianchen’s voice, startling her. Shock appeared on her face, and as she looked toward the direction of the voice, she saw Ye Tianchen leaning against a wooden stake not far away, his face covered in blood, looking at Ling Yuxun with a pained smile.

”Tianchen, you...”

Pop!

As Ling Yuxun was confused, the Ye Tianchen she was holding in her arms disappeared, turning into a handful of dirt. She was stunned, looked at the dirt on the ground, then quickly walked over to Ye Tianchen’s side, looking at him with heartache as tears streamed down her cheeks, asking, ”Tianchen, how badly are you hurt?”

”It’s nothing, just minor injuries, just minor injuries!” Ye Tianchen chuckled as he spoke.

”That’s great, really great, Tianchen... sob!” Ling Yuxun hugged Ye Tianchen tightly and burst into tears, overwhelmed with relief and joy.

”Hehe... it’s okay now, it’s all okay!”

Ye Tianchen gave an awkward smile. He now felt unbearable pain throughout his body, as if all his internal organs were about to explode. The Demon Wolf was extremely powerful. He had never imagined dying in such a way, and he probably wouldn’t have guessed in his dreams that he would end up accidentally killing himself. It was entirely an accident. Nevertheless, even in its final moments, the Demon Wolf tried to drag Ye Tianchen down with it. An unstoppable wave of Evil Sword Qi slashed down. Ye Tianchen’s Taie Sword autonomously launched a mighty force to resist, but Ye Tianchen still couldn’t fully harness the power of the Taie Sword, unable to block the Evil Sword Qi. In a desperate situation, Ye Tianchen used the ”Eight Diagrams Seal” to disperse the dark clouds and clear some evil energy, but still couldn’t block the Evil Sword Qi. As one of the three most evil weapons in the world, it was indeed formidable. Ultimately, Ye Tianchen used the Earth Element Superpower Substitute Skill, and his true body quickly escaped using the Divine Movement Skill, narrowly avoiding the Evil Sword Qi.

”Tianchen, I’m so glad you’re all right, you won!” Ling Yuxun said, bursting into tears.

”No, my current strength isn’t enough to kill the Demon Wolf. It killed itself. The Evil Sword has escaped; I don’t know where it went. I couldn’t keep it here. I’m afraid it will be a big problem later!” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

Having narrowly escaped death, and with the Demon Wolf dead, Ye Tianchen was also seriously injured. It wasn’t just that he had exhausted too much of his internal strength, but he had been genuinely hit by the Demon Wolf several times. It was extraordinary that he could hold on, especially at the last moment when he used the ”Eight Diagrams Seal” to avoid a tremendously powerful wave of Evil Sword Qi, instantly absorbing energy from all directions, followed by using the Earth Element Substitute Skill, both of which were extremely energy-consuming. After resting for about an hour, Ye Tianchen slowly got up from the ground with the assistance of Ling Yuxun, who couldn’t help but cry seeing him in this state.

”I’m sorry, Tianchen. It’s all my fault!” Ling Yuxun said through tears.

”Silly girl, let’s go. I must bring you back to China safely,” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Okay!” Ling Yuxun nodded firmly.

Now that Ye Tianchen and Ling Yuxun had arrived here, they just didn’t know where Hei Mian and another Heavenly Gang War General brother were waiting for them. However, after the great battle, Hei Mian must have figured out their location; they should be able to find them soon.

”Tianchen, wait, my fourth aunt, she...” Ling Yuxun said, her kindness still causing her some concern for her fourth aunt, Ling Qing.

”You don’t have to look. She’s already dead. That strike just now flattened this place. I saw Ling Qing explode into a bloody mist!” Ye Tianchen said bluntly.

”My fourth aunt,” Ling Yuxun shook her head.

”She doesn’t deserve sympathy. If she were alive, she would definitely have killed you!” Ye Tianchen advised.

”I know. I’m just a bit heartbroken. Grandfather spent his lifetime building the Ling Group, and to end up like this...” Ling Yuxun sobbed, unable to continue.

”I believe you and your father will definitely make the Ling Group thrive and become even stronger!” Ye Tianchen said earnestly.

Step by step, moving forward, Ye Tianchen’s injuries improved gradually. The gentle force left inside him by Zhang Ruotong played a significant role. It curbed the spreading of his injuries right after he was wounded and began healing. Otherwise, Ye Tianchen probably couldn’t even stand now.

After walking for a while, Ye Tianchen sensed something was amiss. Slowly, he and Ling Yuxun had walked out of the area where the big battle with the Demon Wolf took place and came to the foot of a small mountain, seeing no one around. He then released his Superpower Perception, but still found nothing. Frowning, he thought that Bao Tianglong and seven others should have come by now. Even if they were delayed in escorting a hundred shareholders of Ling Group to a safe place, at least Hei Mian should have arrived, right? Why was there no one?

”Something’s not right. Are we out of road?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

”Tianchen, I know the terrain here. Beyond this small mountain, there is a forest, and then there’s no road, just the outskirts of New York City!” Ling Yuxun explained.

”No wonder the dust stopped here; it was blocked by this small mountain. Hei Mian and the others might be just beyond it. Let’s climb over!” Ye Tianchen suggested after thinking for a moment.

”Okay!” Ling Yuxun nodded.

”Let me go first, just in case there’s any danger,”

Ye Tianchen stopped Ling Yuxun and took the lead, heading up the mountain... He always had a bad premonition, that there was an existence more powerful than the Demon Wolf waiting for him...
