Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 690: 689 Chapter [Shuanger Woke Up]

[PS: Thank you, brothers, for introducing your friends to ”Super Combat Soldier” in this last month of 2013, I wish all the readers and their families academic excellence and career success!]

Ye Tianchen hadn’t anticipated that the Blood Killing Organization would have such formidable power within the Ancient Martial World. They were like mercenaries from the Mortal World, specializing in undertaking assignments for individuals or Sects. As long as you could meet their price or provide them with something they wanted in exchange, they would fulfill your request, whether it was assassination or smuggling goods.

What astonished Ye Tianchen even more was that this organization was so powerful that it could not be provoked even by Ancient Martial Sects with long-standing traditions. Even individuals with the pinnacle of strength and prestige in the Ancient Martial World, such as Master Fang Zheng, Senior Feng Qingyang, and One Sword Taoist, had fallen to their hands. This demonstrated how formidable the Blood Killing Organization was, and it warranted caution and deep reflection.

”How did Senior Qing Song, who appears to be such an ethereal and noble character, attract such a deadly calamity?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask out loud.

”I only heard it from my master; it happened a decade ago. Back then, Senior Qing Song was venerable and highly cultivated, uninvolved in worldly affairs, and an elder with no Sect affiliation. However, he possessed something that all cultivators in the Ancient Martial World coveted...” Dongfang Meng paused, then suddenly spoke as if something had come to mind.

”What’s that?” Ye Tianchen asked, puzzled.

”Fragments of an Ancient Transmission Array!” Dongfang Meng frowned as he spoke.

When Ye Tianchen heard Dongfang Meng’s words, he was taken aback. Fragments of an Ancient Transmission Array? This was something he had long dreamed of obtaining: to go to Emperor Star to uncover the mystery of Eternal Life, to enter the real Martial Arts Great World and fight an earth-shattering battle, to return to the apocalypse-starred Earth to avenge the death of his loved ones and the Human Clan he protected, to seek justice—these were all things Ye Tianchen felt compelled to do. Not for any particular reason, but simply because he was a cultivator, and this was the destiny of a cultivator!

Ye Tianchen also deeply desired the fragments of the Ancient Transmission Array. The reason he had entered the Ancient Martial World and transformed from a Superpower User into a Martial Artist, following the words of Master Fang Zheng, was to involve himself in this vast Martial Arts World. He believed the Ancient Transmission Array was common to this Martial Arts World; he just didn’t know why it had been destroyed and by whom. To find clues about the Transmission Array, one would most likely need to explore the Ancient Martial Sects with long-standing traditions. Ye Tianchen knew this was difficult; otherwise, esteemed individuals like Master Fang Zheng would have found the array already. Finding the Transmission Array was no easy feat, but as long as there was the slightest hope, Ye Tianchen was determined to strive for it. He vowed to visit Emperor Star and the apocalypse-starred Earth, and even to explore the Martial Arts Great World.

”So, when Senior Qing Song was murdered at the cliff, the fragments of the Ancient Transmission Array he had acquired were also obtained by the Blood Killing Organization, weren’t they?” Ye Tianchen urgently asked.

”Most likely. The person who could assassinate Senior Qing Song...the level of power they must have is really unimaginable,” Dongfang Meng said with residual fear.

”If the Blood Killing Organization is so powerful, why haven’t they yet established a visible power base?” Ye Tianchen continued to inquire.

It stood to reason that such a mighty organization with profound resources could eliminate even those at the pinnacle of Ancient Martial strength. Could they not establish their own power? However, according to Dongfang Meng, there was no overt organization or Sect named ”Blood Killing” within the entire Ancient Martial World. There must be other reasons beyond their disgraceful acts of violence committed in secret...

”Because after Senior Qing Song was assassinated by the Blood Killing Organization that year, the whole Ancient Martial World was shaken. Senior Qing Song was a revered figure, held in high esteem, never contending for fame or profit, and was friends with masters like Master Fang Zheng and Senior Feng Qingyang—a lofty and noble wanderer. The murder of such a venerable elder caused great indignation, and put many Ancient Martial Sects on alert because the Blood Killing Organization was just too daunting. If left unchecked, every Sect would face such a threat. Hence, almost all the Sects mobilized their forces to eradicate this power and killed many from the Blood Killing Organization, causing it to fade into obscurity. It is unexpected that they still exist and have grown even stronger. Now that they have deployed people to carry out missions, it seems they intend to rise again...” Dongfang Meng said with worry.

”It seems that this organization is primarily assassins that will stop at nothing to benefit themselves. After hiding for so many years, now they wish to emerge and create chaos. This situation seems far from simple, could it be that...” Ye Tianchen suddenly thought of a possibility, and was somewhat startled.

”Could it be what?” Dongfang Meng hastily asked.

”Could it be that after they assassinated Senior Qing Song all those years ago and acquired the fragments of the Transmission Array, they have been studying it, and now that they have learned the secrets about the Transmission Array, they have dispatched people again...” Ye Tianchen speculated.

”That’s a real possibility. Within the Ancient Martial World, especially the Ancient Sects with long-standing traditions, know far more about the secrets of cultivation on Ancient Earth than the average Sect. What else could those at the pinnacle of strength aspire to? The path to Eternal Life and to witness the Martial Arts Great World for themselves. Reaching that level, especially on an Earth unsuitable for cultivation, trying to break out on one’s own is almost impossible. The only hope is through the Transmission Array. And yet, this Transmission Array was destroyed millions of years ago. Gathering the fragments and clues about the Transmission Array is a task of great importance and difficulty.” Dongfang Meng was no fool; catching on to what Ye Tianchen suggested, he quickly considered the possibility.

”It seems I’m bound for a major battle with the Blood Killing Organization!” Ye Tianchen spoke solemnly.

”Given our current level of cultivation, we can’t dream of destroying this organization. We can’t even determine where they are located. We must be extremely cautious,” Dongfang Meng cautioned.

”Don’t worry, I won’t act rashly. You have to eat one bite at a time, and deal with things one by one. I’m not only facing the Blood Killing Organization but also the grudges with the Sword Control Sect and the Five Poison Sect. They all have to be resolved,” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Swish!

While Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng were sitting beside the fire, discussing, suddenly a wave of bone-chilling cold air struck towards them. Before even reaching them, it had already frozen the roaring flames into ice.

Crack!

Dongfang Meng also quickly struck out with a palm, countering the cold and piercing palm force head-on, then stood up and looked at the woman who had attacked her and Ye Tianchen, and said, ”We saved you, is this how you repay your saviors?”

”Do I need saving by you? Hmph, mind your own business!” The woman said ungratefully.

”We really didn’t want to meddle, but if we hadn’t, someone would have become a corpse by now,” Ye Tianchen said indifferently.

”I’m very curious, how did you two come to be together? I heard someone had performed Dual Cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture with you, Dongfang Meng. Could it be you, Ye Tianchen?” the woman asked with a strange look in her eyes.

”That has nothing to do with you. We saved you, and we have no grudges, you’re free to go,” Dongfang Meng said, her cheeks reddening slightly.

”Looks like the rumors in the Ancient Martial World are true? It’s not an unfounded claim!” the woman said with a laugh.

”That’s not the most important thing. What I’m most curious about is why you would infiltrate Longteng University, join the Archaeology Department, and even use the alias Qin Yaoyue...” Ye Tianchen looked at the woman in front of him and asked.

It turned out, the person being pursued by the six top experts from the Blood Killing Organization was none other than Tianshuang from the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect. Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng had rescued her. Mainly because Dongfang Meng was a kind person. Although she and Tianshuang, Xie Yuhe, and Qing Chengyue, the four beauties of the Ancient Martial Sect, competed and struggled against each other, there was no deep hatred between them. Naturally, there was no need for life-and-death battles. What surprised Ye Tianchen and Dongfang Meng was that Tianshuang was actually being hunted by the six top experts from the Blood Killing Organization, which suggested that the matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Tianshuang suddenly looked at him, surprised, and couldn’t help asking, ”You... there’s no aura of superpower on you anymore, but instead you have a strong Martial Arts True Power. Could it be that you have already...”

”That’s none of your concern, you just need to tell me what your intentions are by assuming a different identity teaching in the Archaeology Department at Longteng University?” Ye Tianchen looked at Tianshuang and asked.

”Do you think I would tell you?” Tianshuang said, looking at Ye Tianchen annoyed.

”If you don’t tell me, I won’t let you leave, and you won’t be able to take the things on you back to your sect. You’ll be in quite some trouble, won’t you?” Ye Tianchen said with a mischievous smile.

Tianshuang was taken aback, quickly felt her waist, and her face changed instantly. She looked at Ye Tianchen viciously and said, ”Give it back to me, or I’ll kill you.”

”If you think you can take me on, feel free to come at me and try...” Ye Tianchen said in a rascally manner.

”You... despicable, stealing when someone’s not looking!” Tianshuang pouted, glaring at Ye Tianchen with her pretty eyes, still looking quite cute.

”Now, I can’t be accused of stealing. Anyway, this thing is useless to me, but for you, I don’t know how important it is...” Ye Tianchen said, as he took out an ancient mirror from behind him...(To be continued.
