Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 959: Chapter 958 [So It Was Her, It’s Fate]

Ye Tianchen revealed his true body, Bai Yanwu, this old thing, was extremely ruthless; even if he didn’t show his true face, it was impossible for him to leave like this. Why not have a great battle? What’s there to fear?

However, the words of the girl from the Zhantai family behind Ye Tianchen made him feel the atmosphere suddenly relaxed. He hadn’t expected that in this family with fragments of the ancient transmission array, there would be someone he knew. Even though they had only met once, she left a deep impression on him. It was upon seeing this woman again that Ye Tianchen recalled the name Zhantai. Where had he heard that before? And the girl from the Zhantai family behind him also instantly recognized Ye Tianchen, though she hadn’t expected it to be him; it was completely unexpected.

It turned out the girl standing behind Ye Tianchen was Zhantai Weixue, whom Ye Tianchen and his mother Luo Yan had encountered when they returned to the Luo family due to their grandmother’s illness. After obtaining the blood-stained Buddha beads, just as Ye Tianchen and Luo Yan were about to leave, Zhantai Weixue, a tall and fiery woman in sunglasses, for no apparent reason, swung a whip at Ye Tianchen at the Luo family’s gate.

Zhantai Weixue was only a brief acquaintance at the Luo family, yet she left a profound impression on Ye Tianchen. This woman was very beautiful, fiery in personality and figure, and the only one who, upon meeting, said nothing and directly attacked him. At that time, Zhantai Weixue wanted Ye Tianchen to hand over the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box containing the blood-stained remnant jade. Eventually, Ye Tianchen handed the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Box over to Zhantai Weixue. However, the situation at the time, where Zhantai Weixue used Martial Arts Divine Skill, impressed Ye Tianchen greatly. So when Bai Yanwu launched his final attack, Ye Tianchen blocked his killing move. Despite only having a brief acquaintance, there wasn’t any great animosity. Saving them was merely a small favor, so Ye Tianchen did it.

At that time, Ye Tianchen had not yet become a martial artist and did not know that the Earth held three major Ancient Martial Worlds. The truly powerful realm was for martial artists. Having heard from his mother Luo Yan about the mysterious Zhantai family, he was genuinely curious. Now Ye Tianchen knew, the Zhantai family was a cultivation family hidden within the Ancient Martial World. But by now, the family’s strength had waned considerably, lacking a powerful foundation, which led to them suffering such a massacre from Bai Yanwu, with no ability to retaliate at all.

”Ye Tianchen, is it really you? How did you...?” Zhantai Weixue looked at Ye Tianchen with disbelief. How did Ye Tianchen become a martial artist? And his cultivation realm was unimaginably powerful? In just less than a year, this guy became this strong and even saved her and her parents’ lives, surprising and shocking everyone.

”Now doesn’t seem to be the time to talk about this. Move aside a bit, I need to deal with this old thing.” Ye Tianchen said with a slight smile.

Zhantai Weixue glanced at Ye Tianchen, then at her severely injured father beside her. Her father’s name was Zhantai Hongwu, the head of the Zhantai family who had always adhered to the family’s ancestral teachings to protect the fragments of the ancient transmission array, preventing them from falling into the hands of villains.

Ye Tianchen watched as Zhantai Weixue helped her father aside, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he coldly looked at Bai Yanwu, saying, ”Come on now, old thing. I have no grudge against you, yet you have your grandson attack me to kill me. I’m standing here today, come kill me yourself.”

When thinking of Bai Yanwu, this old thing, Ye Tianchen felt furious. Bai Yanwu sent his grandson Bai Song despite having no enmity, gathering a group of young loose cultivator experts to hunt him down just to curry favor with the Blood Killing Organization. This old thing is too ruthless; not killing him is insufficient to quell Ye Tianchen’s anger.

”Didn’t expect it to be you, you little brat, you’ve actually reached Martial Saint Realm cultivation!” Bai Yanwu said viciously looking at Ye Tianchen.

”There’s a lot you didn’t expect. Can you imagine today being your death day?” Ye Tianchen said, emanating an incredibly powerful aura.

In Bai Yanwu’s heart, there was shock and disbelief. He couldn’t dream that this person disguised as a sound knife was neither an elder hidden within a cultivation sect nor a powerful background of a cultivation family, but Ye Tianchen—Ye Tianchen who reached Martial Saint Realm cultivation at only twenty-something years old. He was certainly considered a prodigy. Originally Bai Yanwu speculated the person pretending to be a sound knife wasn’t an elder of a cultivation sect but possibly a strong backing of a cultivation family. Saying one reaches Martial Saint Realm at over twenty-something years was unprecedented, and claiming such a person isn’t a prodigy or extraordinary talent is impossible. Throughout ancient times, in this Martial Arts Great World, those reaching Martial Saint cultivation below a hundred years were extremely rare. Even if such individuals don’t become supreme Emperors dominating the universe, they still leave a lasting legacy in this Martial Arts World, known as the ”prodigies” among Human Clan martial artists.

”Hmph. Though you are an exceptional case, a prodigy, you are too arrogant, too unruly. I’ve reached Martial Saint Realm for many years; my cultivation realm is much more solid than yours, and your combat experience is nowhere near mine. Your chances of winning this battle are slim. If you are willing to concede the fragments of the ancient transmission array, I might spare your life. Killing a prodigy isn’t something I wish to do.” Bai Yanwu snorted coldly, suggesting with temptation.

”Really? Old bastard, if that’s the case, let me propose a condition for you: if you’re willing to back off, I can release your grandson; I have his head right here. How about it?” Ye Tianchen shrugged and said indifferently.

Bai Yanwu frowned and glanced at Ye Tianchen, asking, ”Where is my grandson? I want to see him.”

Ye Tianchen paused for a moment. He knew Bai Yanwu was powerful with a profound cultivation, and if he wanted to kill this old bastard, even if he could succeed, it would be a desperate fight. At that time, the father and daughter Zhantai Weixue might die. Battling with a Martial Saint Realm expert was not his first experience, but he understood the serious consequences. With one wrong move, not just the Zhantai family, but the entire Song Mountain Ancient Martial World could be destroyed. He had to be more cautious. Actually, given the current situation, it wasn’t the best time to kill Bai Yanwu. Ye Tianchen had another plan. However, Bai Yanwu’s old brat was extremely ruthless, and Ye Tianchen had killed Bai Song and pretended to be Yin Dao, deceiving the old bastard. Now, he rescued the Zhantai Weixue father and daughter, causing Bai Yanwu’s long-planned attempt to seize the Ancient Transmission Array Fragment to fail. Would this old bastard let him go?

Buzz!

Ye Tianchen activated the ”Holy Heaven Prison” but did not fully unleash its power, instead extracting Bai Song’s head from it, grabbing it with a hand claw made of condensed Martial Arts True Power, ready to claim Bai Song’s life at any time.

”Ah, please, don’t kill me! Grandpa, save me, save me...” Bai Song found himself outside the Holy Heaven Prison and saw his grandfather Bai Yanwu in front of him, thinking his grandpa had come to rescue him. He exclaimed excitedly.

”Young Master Bai, don’t worry. Your grandpa probably finds rescuing you not that simple. Why don’t I talk with him about the conditions first?” Ye Tianchen smiled and looked at Bai Song.

Bai Song turned to look at Ye Tianchen, completely stunned. He could not discern Ye Tianchen’s cultivation realm, shocked into silence. This indicated that Ye Tianchen had again surpassed his previous cultivation realm in such a short time. His formidable strength was now beyond Bai Song’s reach. Before Ye Tianchen, Bai Song was like fish on the chopping block, helpless against his power.

”You... your cultivation realm has improved again? Your strength is several times more powerful?” Bai Song asked in disbelief.

Ye Tianchen’s breakthrough left Bai Song in despair, stripping away any hope and creating extreme imbalance in his heart. Among loose cultivator peers, Bai Song was the strongest of the younger generation; even though he lost to Ye Tianchen in their last fight, he didn’t crumble or lose hope, believing it was due to Ye Tianchen possessing the Supreme Treasure ”Holy Heaven Prison.” Otherwise, he might not have lost. However, now Ye Tianchen had broken through again to a realm unreachable for Bai Song. His sense of superiority and the glory of being the strongest young loose cultivator was gone, leaving him unable to cope.

”How about it, old bastard? Should I release your grandson, and you give up obtaining the Ancient Transmission Array Fragment? Or should I just crush your grandson’s head when you attack?” Ye Tianchen smiled and asked Bai Yanwu.

Bai Yanwu frowned harshly and took a look at Ye Tianchen, saying, ”You little brat, even if it costs me my lifespan then I’ll still kill you today. Do you think you can threaten me this way? I, Bai Yanwu, have never been threatened by anyone...”

”So you’re choosing the Ancient Transmission Array Fragment, huh? Bai Song, I feel sorry and it’s not worth it. Your grandpa wants me to kill you; he could save you first and then pursue me, Ye Tianchen, to seize the fragment. But he chooses not to do that, doesn’t care about your life. Is he really your grandfather? Are you truly his grandson?” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said speechlessly.

”Grandpa, save me! Save me, I’m your only grandson, your only heir to Martial Arts Skill. If I die, your legacy will end...” Bai Song never expected his grandfather Bai Yanwu to be so ruthless, horrified, he exclaimed in panic. (To be continued.
