Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 658: Chapter 657 [Evenly Matched, Fierce Battle]

[PS: The first update for today has arrived, with stable updates, exciting content, and a hefty word count. If not now, when will you read?]

The energy released by Red Child was overwhelming, blocking off a hundred miles radius. Ye Tianchen was also at the peak of his battle level, yet he still couldn’t break through Red Child’s energy blockade with a punch. To prioritize the safety of Ling Yuxun and Bao Tianglong, ensuring their lives were not endangered, Ye Tianchen, despite receiving two punches from Red Child, first used ”Heavenly Shocking Palm” to send the energy shield protecting Ling Yuxun and the others flying away, and then once again employed the powerful ”Golden Eyes” Pupil Skill.

Boom, boom, boom... Ye Tianchen’s fists continuously swung, filling the sky with shadows of his fists and the power of thunder and lightning, preventing Red Child from attacking. This was his only chance to send Ling Yuxun and the others to safety. After a major battle with Red Child, Ye Tianchen felt the overwhelming power of an Innate Superpower User more and more, especially this transcendent level of battling he was at, not knowing how long he could maintain it. He wasn’t very skilled with this transcendent battle state either, requiring several activations before successfully reaching it on occasion.

Bang!

Two beams of golden light struck later but arrived first, hitting the energy blockade light screen created by Red Child, instantly creating a crack. Ye Tianchen’s lips curled into a slight smile, his fists still continuously swinging, unable to kill Red Child but at least slowing him down, allowing Ling Yuxun and the others a chance to leave first.

”Ah, damn it...” Seeing his energy blockade light screen truly shredded by Ye Tianchen’s ”Golden Eyes,” Red Child let out a loud cry and immediately disappeared from the spot.

Ye Tianchen was shocked, the speed was incredibly fast, invisible to the average person. Only in this transcendent battle state, with his combat power significantly enhanced, could he catch Red Child’s movements. Red Child’s speed was extremely fast, almost catching up to Ling Yuxun and the others in a flash. Clearly enraged, Red Child had never let anyone escape from him before. The reason he hadn’t killed Bao Tianglong and others from the start was merely to toy with Ye Tianchen. What now? If Bao Tianglong and others were rescued, it would be a huge blow to Red Child, an Innate Superpower User, who would naturally go all out to kill Ling Yuxun and the others.

”Bad, this guy has caught up!” Lin Duan frowned and said.

”So impressive, his speed has reached the extreme!” Li San couldn’t help but express his amazement as he watched Red Child rushing towards them.

”It’s not just the speed; he’s strong in all aspects. Innate Superpower Users possess powerful abilities from the moment they are born, truly the favored of the heavens, the sons of the sky; how could he not be formidable?” Bao Tianglong also said.

”You can’t escape, die!”

Red Child pursued them, not mincing words, and smashed a punch right onto the defense shield Ye Tianchen was holding, sending Ling Yuxun and others flying with the shield. The next moment, Red Child appeared from the opposite direction; naturally, he wouldn’t let Ling Yuxun and the others escape, wanting to keep them locked within his energy circle to freely slaughter them.

Boom!

Another punch came crashing down, causing Ling Yuxun and the others to continuously tumble within the defense shield, suffering a great shock. The defense shield was once again returned to Red Child’s energy blockade.

Boom!

Ye Tianchen rushed over, with the Divine Movement Skill Unrivaled, quickly catching up to Red Child. Seeing Red Child sending the defense shield with Ling Yuxun and others back, Ye Tianchen swiftly struck out. The Xuanyuan Sword, the Taie Sword, and the Fish Intestine Sword, three divine swords, all guarded around the defense shield. A pressure of an unstoppable force, different from this world’s power, all protected around the defense shield, controlled by Ye Tianchen’s Divine Sense, and burst out towards the outside of Red Child’s energy blockade.

”Thinking of running, that’s impossible!”

Red Child spoke harshly, throwing another punch. This time, however, Ye Tianchen did not let Red Child hit the defense shield again. He had just seen some cracks in the defense shield. Red Child’s power was too great, and continuing this way, after a few more punches, the defense shield was likely to break, and then he wouldn’t be able to take care and protect Ling Yuxun and the others.

Bang dong!

Ye Tianchen and Red Child struck each other with a punch, both landing solidly on each other’s fists. Violent energy dispersed in all directions, and the entire sky trembled. Red Child’s energy blockade also seemed on the verge of collapse. In this punch, the two were evenly matched, neither retreating half a step, coldly watching each other.

”Tianchen...” Ling Yuxun shouted loudly.

”Go ahead, he can’t kill me; I’ll catch up with you guys soon!” Ye Tianchen said calmly.

Red Child looked at Ye Tianchen in surprise. Initially, Ye Tianchen was nothing but fish on the chopping board, completely at his mercy. No matter how Ye Tianchen made his move, he couldn’t harm Red Child. Even if he stoodstill, letting Ye Tianchen attack, it wouldn’t cause him any trouble. And now, Ye Tianchen could actually battle him head-on without falling behind at all. Even his energy lock had been broken by Ye Tianchen. What kind of extraordinary superpower was this?

In that blink of an eye, Ling Yuxun and others, shielded by the defense shield, had disappeared from this realm. Ye Tianchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Red Child more indifferently while Red Child stared back at him with a cannibalistic expression.

”Don’t look at me with that expression. When I was using my Superpower Skill, you were probably still a bare-bottomed baby!” Ye Tianchen said with a calm smile.

”I really want to see if you can still smile when you are facing death!” Red Child yelled fiercely at Ye Tianchen.

”If you’re not good, uncle will spank you!” Ye Tianchen, at this moment, actually relaxed even more.

”Ah!”

With a loud roar, Red Child attacked furiously. Without any fancy moves or large-scale Superpower Killing Skills, he just kept swinging his fists, shaking the heavens and earth. His wild punches smashed toward Ye Tianchen, who dared not take him lightly or retreat. At times like these, only a head-on battle, determining a win or lose, a kill or be killed, could resolve the issue.

The sky thundered, and the ground trembled incessantly, as if to destroy heaven and earth. Ye Tianchen and Red Child were fighting with bare fists, yet both used their most powerful forces, battling so fiercely that the sky seemed to split and the earth to shatter.

It was hard to tell how long it had been, but the entire southern part of New York was destroyed, affecting an area within a hundred-mile radius. The intensity of the battle between Ye Tianchen and Red Child revealed how fierce it was. The entire population of New York City was in utter panic, fleeing in cars and planes throughout the night, as if the city was about to be demolished. Ordinary people didn’t know why this was happening; they were just blindly terrified, feeling as though the end of the world was near and all they could think of was to escape. Meanwhile, in Washington’s White House, Hei Bama was meeting with all the high officials of the country. He, the top President of the country, was also under severe ”verbal attack,” looking quite distressed.

”Mr. President, what should we do about this incident?”

”Mr. President, is the Eastern Demon really that powerful?”

”The destruction of New York’s three major military bases is an immeasurable loss. Now that we can’t control the Ling Group, it represents an incalculable loss for our country.”

”A great humiliation! Our country has always been the world’s number one superpower. No country has ever dared to defy us or make a move against us. This time we have been slapped hard, slapped hard by China...”

”The development of China in recent years has been clear to the whole world. Continuing this way, I don’t know what the consequences will be, if we will have to cede our position as the top superpower...”

”I think what we need to discuss now is not the losses but the issue of New York City itself. With Red Child taking action, it will undoubtedly result in a massive battle with the Eastern Demon. Even if we succeed in killing the Eastern Demon, it could affect the entire New York City, even destroy it, which would represent an unimaginable loss to our country’s development, too costly...”

”Deploying Red Child without consulting us, Mr. President, seems like you didn’t discuss it with us. I think you should explain this to us.”

”Yes, Mr. President, speak up.”

”If you can’t provide a reasonable explanation, how can we explain this to all the citizens of our country?”

The high officials of the government were all very angry, pointing all their accusations at Hei Bama. Hei Bama, sitting in the central chair of the conference, looked grim and was seething with anger, but he could not lash out. Everyone here was a top official of the country. If he truly angered everyone here, his re-election as president might really be in jeopardy.

Yet, these old men were all pointing their fingers at him, as if he alone, Hei Bama, was to blame, including a few elderly men who knew about this beforehand, who also turned against him as if to confront him. Hei Bama was furious beyond measure but still forcibly kept his cool and spoke indifferently:

”You must have known about this matter for a long time. I just didn’t expect the Eastern Demon to be so formidable, underestimating his power. I think now is not the time to discuss the losses, but to completely eliminate the Eastern Demon, otherwise, the troubles for our country will continue!” (To be continued.
