Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 995: Chapter 994: This Kid Hu Gao Is Such a Troublemaker!

”Hmm? Hu Gao, that guy disappeared? What kind of blunder is he playing now?”

Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but be surprised. What’s Hu Gao up to now? He was about to fight against the Golden Strange Cloud soon, and in order to ensure the safety of Desolate Stone Village and avoid any worries about his loved ones being harmed, he had left Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang, Xie Yuhe, and Hu Gao in the village to protect the villagers. But at this crucial moment, Hu Gao just disappeared?

”He only left this behind. Take a look, I really want to smack him around.” Dongfang Meng said, trembling with anger.

Seeing the rotten plank Dongfang Meng handed over, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but be puzzled for a moment. Taking the plank and looking at Hu Gao’s scribbles that resembled ghost symbols, his eyes were filled with anger. If Hu Gao were standing before Ye Tianchen, even with Ye Tianchen’s great restraint that rarely ignites his temper, he would still be tempted to beat Hu Gao up. On that rotten plank, crookedly written was a line:

”Boss, I really can’t stand it anymore. These past few nights have been painful, lonely, and sleepless for me. The thought of Golden Strange Cloud touching Qing Chengyue’s small hand, the hand of the most beautiful woman in the Ancient Martial World, brings tears to my eyes silently. As a young man who wants to embrace all the beauties under heaven, as a driven youth whose life’s ambition is to experience all the beauties of the world, I simply cannot tolerate Golden Strange Cloud’s actions. I must personally give this bastard a punch and teach him a good lesson. Oh, by the way, boss... I might not be a match for Golden Strange Cloud, so please come and rescue me quickly...”

After reading these ugly scribbles on the plank, Ye Tianchen truly felt both laughter and helplessness. Even Dongfang Meng, the always serious beauty, was thoroughly amused yet irate by Hu Gao. This guy is truly talented at stirring up nonsensical antics, leaving people quite speechless.

No one would have thought that at this moment, Hu Gao would choose to quietly leave Desolate Stone Village. His combat power cultivation wasn’t as strong as Golden Strange Cloud’s, yet he boldly went to fight. Not for any other reason, but simply because Golden Strange Cloud once clashed with Qing Chengyue and might have touched her skin, which Hu Gao couldn’t stand. He decided to risk his life fighting Golden Strange Cloud, a completely absurd move. What’s more infuriating is that Hu Gao knew his combat power wasn’t a match for Golden Strange Cloud, yet asked Ye Tianchen to come rescue him quickly...

”This kid, I truly admire him for having quite the self-awareness, asking me to come rescue him...” Ye Tianchen said, both amused and annoyed.

”Tianchen, what are you planning to do? No idea how things are going over at Cangmang Mountain...” Dongfang Meng said, a bit worried.

”No matter what, I have to go. Whether my plan succeeds or not, you mustn’t come looking for me. If I survive, I’ll return here. The villagers of Desolate Stone Village are entrusted to you and Tianshuang!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Understood, take care!” Dongfang Meng said, looking at Ye Tianchen with deep emotion.

Whoosh!

Ye Tianchen disappeared, leaving only Dongfang Meng standing at the village entrance of Desolate Stone Village, watching as he left. In her heart, there was love for the man and a lot of concern too. But Dongfang Meng understood well that Ye Tianchen had many things he wanted to do and certain missions he must accomplish. His life was destined to tread the path toward the peak of Martial Arts.

In Cangmang Mountain, Golden Strange Cloud arrogantly was speaking, and among the spectators were martial artists all showing killing intent in their eyes. Yet none dared to step forward to battle Golden Strange Cloud, except for a short young man and Tuoba Ye. The remaining challengers were all young strong men from the three major ancient martial worlds, but they failed, defeated by Golden Strange Cloud, annihilated completely, proving Golden Strange Cloud’s ruthlessness and strength. Anyone advancing easily might just become the next scapegoat under Golden Strange Cloud’s fists.

Moreover, with Tuoba Ye departing, the beam of light surrounding Golden Strange Cloud not only instantly healed Golden Strange Cloud’s injuries but also increased his aura and even battle power, making him feel fearsome. Under such circumstances, who would dare easily challenge Golden Strange Cloud?

”No one? No one dares to challenge me, Golden Strange Cloud? Then I can only announce that among the young generation of the three great ancient martial worlds, the strongest one is me, Golden Strange Cloud...”

Bang!

Just as Golden Strange Cloud was about to utter the words he held back for so long, ready to finally speak them aloud, a palm force shattered through the air, directly aiming for his head.

”What? Someone actually dares to challenge Golden Strange Cloud?”

”Is there still a young prodigy among the ancient martial world who hasn’t made a move?”

”Well, it’s good. Golden Strange Cloud has really become too arrogant, relying on his cultivation and the unfathomable backing of the Golden family to act so domineering. He doesn’t regard any martial artist in the ancient martial world. It’s necessary for someone to step up and teach Golden Strange Cloud a lesson. Hope this person’s combat strength is strong enough. Even if they can’t kill Golden Strange Cloud, they can suppress him and end in a draw.”

”Who is this person?”

Bam!

With a dull thud, the palm force that was attacking Golden Strange Cloud dissipated. Golden Strange Cloud coldly glanced at the sky, furrowing his brows deeply, extended a palm towards the void. With another thud, a figure flew out from above, like a prisoner who had been locked up for a long time, laughing loudly and shouted, ”Do you want to see my true face? I am the charming, handsome, everyone loves me, flowers bloom when they see me, I mesmerize thousands of young girls, causing countless married women to scream... Hu Gao!”

Hu Gao made his entrance, and as soon as he appeared, everyone present was taken aback. Not to mention whether his cultivation battle power was a match for Golden Strange Cloud, just the words this guy said didn’t sound like those of a martial artist, nor someone vying for the top young prodigy in the Ancient Martial World. It was simply too nonsensical, too immature, making people not know whether to laugh or cry, and even giving them the urge to punch this brat!

”Why do I feel a sudden urge to curse, it’s actually, actually this guy, Hu Gao...”

”I... damn... isn’t this Hu Le?”

”I didn’t expect it to be Hu Gao, should I laugh or cry? Why did this guy come and stir up trouble?”

”This guy really has some courage to court death, he’s only at the mid-stage Martial Venerate cultivation realm, yet he dares to fight Golden Strange Cloud, isn’t this seeking death?”

”Although Hu Gao has a Martial Saint Treasure, the Jade Rope, it’s still difficult for him to wield it fully at his current cultivation realm. Plus, his grandfather Hu Le is no longer alive, there’s no one to back him. If Golden Strange Cloud wants to kill him, he definitely won’t hesitate.”

”It’s better than nothing, at least Hu Gao dares to confront Golden Strange Cloud, facing death with determination, that’s commendable.”

”Didn’t Hu Gao say that he’s sworn brothers with Ye Tianchen? Why did he appear and Ye Tianchen didn’t? Could it be that Ye Tianchen really doesn’t dare to come? Did Hu Gao fight desperately to uphold his sworn brother’s reputation?”

Seeing that the one who showed up was Hu Gao, the martial artists present couldn’t help but sigh and start discussing. No matter what kind of discussions they were, anyway, none of them were optimistic about Hu Gao, thinking that Hu Gao facing Golden Strange Cloud was courting death. Did this guy rush out to die? Is he looking for death?

”Hey, hey, I say brother, how are you talking? What’s with saying I’m facing death with determination and that’s commendable? This is righteousness at its finest!”

”I say, Taoist friend, what you said is wrong. My big brother is indeed very powerful, a million times more powerful than this Golden Strange Cloud, and naturally much stronger than me, Hu Gao. But am I, Hu Gao, really weaker than this Golden Dog Cloud? I don’t think so?”

”And let me say...”

Hu Gao really rendered everyone speechless to the extreme. Hearing the discussions among these martial artists around him, he still had the mind to debate with them. In this world, when faced with such a strong enemy, facing such a great battle, and a fight that might cost him his life, there’s no one else who could debate and argue with martial artists watching the fun except him, Hu Gao!

”Are you finished? I really want to kill you now!” Golden Strange Cloud said coldly standing behind Hu Gao.

”Wow... you... when did you get behind me? Do you want to sneak attack me? Do you want to kill me while I’m talking to these people?” Hu Gao made a very surprised face, quickly stepping back a few paces, making Golden Strange Cloud seem as if he really was about to make a sudden move on him.

”You... I spit! What do you take me, Golden Strange Cloud, for? Am I such a despicable and shameless person? Hmph, if I wanted to kill you, it would only take one punch!” Golden Strange Cloud almost spat blood out of anger from Hu Gao’s words, after all, he was a scion of the Jin family, a strong figure of the younger generation. To be said by Hu Gao as if he liked to sneak attack and kill was such a disgrace. It was an immense insult to a martial artist, to a disciple of a cultivation family, to him, and to the entire family.

”Really? Then why did I feel like you were about to sneak attack me just now? I was talking to someone else, and you suddenly stood behind me, you can’t possibly be interested in me, Hu Gao? You must be plotting something against me, afraid my battle prowess is too strong and that when I make a move, it’ll beat you to crying for your mom and dad!” Hu Gao nodded confidently, asserting with absolute certainty.

Pfft! Golden Strange Cloud truly had a feeling of repression, like blood welling up but not coming out of his chest! (To be continued.
