Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 867: Chapter 866 [Mom and Little Sister Are in Danger]

In the stillness of the late night, around three or four o’clock, after Ye Tianchen had escorted Hei Mian out of Zhongnanhai, he took a stroll around the Zhongnanhai grounds. When he returned to the office building of the No.1 Leader, he found the No.1 Leader, Vice Chairman Yang, Elder Jiang, and Elder Hu drinking and chatting. They smiled and greeted Ye Tianchen when he arrived.

”Tianchen, come over and have a drink with us,” the No.1 Leader called out with a smile.

”This is a fine grain liquor with a history of over a hundred years, quite hard to come by,” Vice Chairman Yang said with a smile as well.

”Hurry over and have a drink, or we old guys will finish it all up,” Elder Jiang nodded and said.

”I’ve kept this liquor for decades. I’m only breaking it out today. We drink till we drop,” Elder Hu said enthusiastically.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback for a moment, then walked over without hesitation. He sat beside the No.1 Leader, picked up an empty glass from the table, poured himself a drink, and respectfully said to the four seniors, ”To the four of you, I, Ye Tianchen, offer my respect!”

Draining his glass in one go, Ye Tianchen reveled in a joyful drink with the four old leaders of China. To ordinary people, to most in the world, this would seem like a fantastical tale, something nearly impossible to achieve. Yet Ye Tianchen was graced with such an honor. He greatly respected these elders for their courage and dedication to their country. Their fearless spirit and noble mindsets are traits that Ye Tianchen aspired to learn.

The No.1 Leader, Vice Chairman Yang, Elder Jiang, and Elder Hu are among China’s highest leadership, people who shape the course of the nation. Their status is so formidable that their actions could shake the world. At this moment, they were interacting with Ye Tianchen like friends, free and open, enjoying the camaraderie of wine. This hospitality and enjoyment were beyond Ye Tianchen’s anticipation. From these leaders, Ye Tianchen could learn much about handling life and work. Being at their level, governing such a vast nation, their perspectives and acceptance of things were far superior.

The composure and wisdom of the four leaders deeply impressed Ye Tianchen. At this point, even if he himself was somewhat anxious and worried, Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui were already so powerful. If it were Xu Zigang, how powerful would he be? Could Ye Tianchen defeat him? If not, Ye Tianchen might end up harming all of China, endangering over a billion people. The psychological pressure was immense, and the responsibility heavy, leaving no room for carelessness.

After downing three more drinks, the No.1 Leader looked at Ye Tianchen and said, ”Tianchen, we know handing you this burden is exceptionally demanding, but we have no other choice. Only you might stop Xu Zigang, protect the nation. Thus, we entrust the Dragon Crystal to you.”

”Old man, this matter...” Ye Tianchen tried to decline but was interrupted by Elder Jiang.

”Tianchen, although this is our first meeting, I can see you’re a man of principle, with justice in your heart. We don’t want to burden you, but we must consider the billions of Chinese people. If we all perish, we hope you can take the Dragon Crystal and leave, protect the innocents as much as possible, not let Xu Zigang’s plot succeed,” Elder Jiang said solemnly.

”I’ll keep the Dragon Crystal for now. As for whether I can defeat Xu Zigang to protect everyone, I cannot guarantee it. I lack absolute confidence, but I can say that no one can break my resolve. No one...”

In the night sky, five people walked in the air. In the lead were Xu Zigang and Scabbed Ghost, followed by Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui. Their destination was Zhongnanhai. Xu Zigang was extraordinarily assertive, ready to act decisively without regard for anyone, seeking revenge, intending to kill China’s top leaders, and acquire the Dragon Crystal at any cost, disregarding everything and everyone to break through the cultivation realm and satisfy his desires.

Suddenly, Xu Zigang halted, and Scabbed Ghost also stopped, asking, ”What’s wrong? If we don’t act soon, it’ll be daylight. Acting in the daytime is not much fun. Killing at night is much more satisfying.”

”Of course we’ll act, but I want to make a bigger splash, something more entertaining,” Xu Zigang said with a sinister smile.

”How do you make it bigger? How do you make it more entertaining?” Scabbed Ghost asked, puzzled.

Xu Zigang smiled wickedly, a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth, and said to Scabbed Ghost, ”You seldom venture into the Mortal World, so you don’t understand. China, a rapidly rising power, has many influential families in Capital City. These families hold some influence in China and the world, much like our Xu family back then, stirring up military and political circles with ease. Back then, a few Chinese old men ordered the annihilation of my entire Xu family, not knowing how many families mocked us. Today, I not only want to kill these old men but also make those Capital City families taste the bitterness of having their entire families exterminated.”

”That’s not a bad idea, filling the entire city with the stench of blood. I like it. You came back for revenge this time!” Scabbed Ghost chuckled.

”My purpose is revenge. I not only want to kill those old men but also wish to destroy the whole of China. However, obtaining the Dragon Crystal is the top priority for now. So, I’ll temporarily hold off on destroying all of China, kill those old men first, and wipe out all Capital City families to ease my grudge,” Xu Zigang said coldly.

”You three, handle that. I’ll go to Zhongnanhai with Xu Zigang,” Scabbed Ghost thought for a moment and said.

”Master, there are many families in Capital City. Even wiping them out one by one requires a start. Is there a particular family to begin with?” Hu Changhe asked.

Xu Zigang thought for a moment, dismissively saying, ”Didn’t you say that Ye Tianchen is quite formidable? Is his cultivation realm at the Martial Venerate Stage too? Plus, his Ye family is a top family in Capital City. He dared to provoke us, destroyed the entire Nine Dragon Mountain, and fought hard with you all. Let’s start with his Ye family, wipe them out first.”

”Understood, Master. We’ll head to the Ye family residence,” Yang Gui said fiercely.

”No, what’s the point of going to the Ye family residence? If you want to kill, start with the closest people. I know where Ye Tianchen’s mother and younger sister live. Let’s start by killing them. That’s more interesting,” Qin Mingshan’s eyes filled with murderous intent as he spoke.

Qin Mingshan harbored the greatest hatred toward Ye Tianchen. He originally thought his physical strength was unrivaled, only to find Ye Tianchen’s physique surpassed his own. Even his ”Dragon Fist” didn’t kill Ye Tianchen, an unprecedented shame for Qin Mingshan. He was unwilling and determined to personally kill Ye Tianchen, to cleanse the shame he had suffered.

”Then go, start with Ye Tianchen’s closest ones. This is the consequence of provoking us, preferably luring him out, so I can kill him and stop him from bothering us like an annoying fly,” Xu Zigang said calmly.

”Yes, Master!” Yang Gui quickly responded.

They split into action. Xu Zigang and Scabbed Ghost headed to Zhongnanhai to assassinate China’s top leaders and find the Dragon Crystal’s whereabouts, while Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui proceeded to the center of Capital City to cause havoc, starting with the Ye family, from Ye Tianchen’s mother and sister, Ye Tianchen was currently unaware... If he knew, he would stop at nothing to protect his family, anyone who dared to touch them would be ruthlessly beaten.

After finishing his drink, Ye Tianchen looked at the No.1 Leader, Vice Chairman Yang, Elder Jiang, and Elder Hu, who were already dozing on the couch. He frowned and, after a moment of thinking, with a single thought, summoned the Magic Cube ”Holy Heaven Prison” and sent the four leaders inside, protecting them with powerful Chaos Qi. Ye Tianchen knew that no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t govern a country. He wasn’t talented in this area. For the immense nation of China, these four elders were the saviors of billions of people. They couldn’t be harmed or killed, as the consequences would be unimaginable. So, while drinking, Ye Tianchen used the ’Sleep’ spell to make the four elders fall into a deep sleep.

”Xu Zigang, I’m waiting for you to come. I look forward to our battle,” Ye Tianchen said with a slight smile, his eyes filled with Battle Intent. He was not one to retreat, but one who grew stronger against stronger opponents.

By this time, Hu Changhe, Qin Mingshan, and Yang Gui were the first to reach Ye Tianchen’s villa. The villa was already pitch dark, as it was past three in the morning. Inside the villa, Ye Tianchen’s mother Luo Yan, younger sister Ye Qianwen, Qi Ruxue, and Xiao Ya had long been asleep. They were ordinary people, unaware of the impending danger, sleeping soundly.

”Ye Tianchen’s mother and sister are inside, let’s kill them,” Hu Changhe said, glancing at the villa.

”Hmph, neither of you moves. Otherwise, you’ll be my enemy, Qin Mingshan. Let me blast this villa to ashes with one punch, showing Ye Tianchen some real strength first,” Qin Mingshan said as he lunged like lightning toward the opposing villa, Martial Arts True Power in his right hand ready to unleash a massacre!
