Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1224: Chapter 1223: The Brothers Black and White Impermanence

[Brothers, are you enjoying it? If you are, please send me some rewards, thanks!]

The Wang family is the ruler of Linxian City, but no one thought that the Wang family was so powerful, with such unfathomable heritage. Even the ”Red Cloud Treasure Mirror,” which is close to an Emperor’s Artifact, is controlled by the Wang family. In this era, when Emperors have not appeared for millions of years, who can resist such a Supreme Treasure?

Among the martial artists present, there are roughly fifty people left. These martial artists have high cultivation realms and naturally do not want to be constrained by the Wang family. However, the second miss of the Wang family displays astonishing talent and strength that truly amazes everyone. Just as everyone was about to forcefully leave, dozens of old folks appeared. These old folks are all from the Wang family, and although their combat power cultivation may not necessarily be at the Martial Saint Realm, the aura emanating from them is soul-stirring, especially the almost Transformation feeling, which is frightening. Everyone understands that in the Martial Arts World, the last thing you want to face is such old folks, who are already at the end of their rope and nearing natural death. In one final battle, they are sure to take some down with them, which makes them particularly hard to deal with.

”It seems the Wang family was prepared for this, we won’t be able to leave on our own!”

”The Wang family is truly formidable and strong, commendable!”

”Hmph, what’s the harm in staying with them for a night? Does the Wang family dare to kill all of us here? I bet they don’t have the strength or courage!”

Eventually, apart from Ye Tianchen, the pipe-smoking old man, Wudao Saint Child, the old folks from Dingzong, and the middle-aged man from the Xinyang family, dozens of martial artists at the ruins of the Taishi family were invited to the accommodations arranged by the Wang family, where everyone would rest for the night and leave smoothly the next day. Whether they could truly leave smoothly remains uncertain.

The only thing that puzzled Ye Tianchen was that the second miss of the Wang family was about to be engaged to the genius Young Master Xinyang of the Xinyang family, becoming husband and wife. Why hadn’t she given special care to the Xinyang family? Moreover, the second miss of the Wang family had never communicated with the Xinyang family, which was somewhat unreasonable.

”The second miss of the Wang family is indeed powerful; not only is she as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, but her cultivation is profound, far from being a mere vase-like female fairy, truly admirable!”

”It’s just a pity that she is about to be engaged to the genius Young Master Xinyang from the Xinyang family. Before that, many powerful inheritors had come to propose marriage, even from some long-hidden lineages sending out members of the younger generation, but most were defeated by Young Master Xinyang, and the family head of the Wang family, who is also the father of the second miss, took a liking to Young Master Xinyang...”

Listening to the discussion of two martial artists nearby, Ye Tianchen tentatively said, ”I’ve heard that Young Master Xinyang from the Xinyang family is a prodigy, and the second miss of the Wang family is also exceptionally gifted. The two should be well-matched and in love, but why hasn’t the second miss of the Wang family given special care to the Xinyang family?”

”Haha, that’s something you don’t know, who are you?” Suddenly, a martial artist walking beside Ye Tianchen looked at him and asked.

”Oh, just a curious youth!” Ye Tianchen replied seriously.

”Judging by your cultivation realm, you’re only in the Martial King period, a new newbie in cultivation!” Another martial artist walking alongside said.

”Indeed a newbie, what kind of personality does the Wang family’s second miss have?” Ye Tianchen pretended to be puzzled and asked.

Ye Tianchen had already secretly suppressed his cultivation realm to the Martial King Realm using the secret technique from ”Yijin Jing.” He always felt that this situation wasn’t that simple, so standing out now would not be a good thing. It’s better to keep a low profile here, avoiding being the center of attention. If someone discovered his true identity as Ye Tianchen, he would instantly become the target of everyone, possibly dying without a burial place!

”To be honest with you, the second miss of the Wang family has always disagreed with the arranged marriage with the Xinyang family.”

”Disagreed? Why? Does the genius from the Xinyang family look hideous?” Ye Tianchen asked with a mischievous smile.

”Shh, I say, you’re really fearless. The people from the Xinyang family are just ahead, if they hear you, you’ll meet a terrible end!”

”Really? Is the Xinyang family so vindictive?” Ye Tianchen feigned ignorance and asked.

”It’s not about being particularly vindictive, but these powerful lineages are very assertive, not allowing anyone to desecrate their dignity. They only permit themselves to bully others and cannot allow themselves to be bullied!”

”Oh, you haven’t said why the second miss of the Wang family disagrees!” Ye Tianchen remarked after some thought.

”This matter... I’ve heard that the second miss of the Wang family disdains Young Master Xinyang, saying he is a ruthless person...”

”Why would she say that? Did Young Master Xinyang do something bad before?” Ye Tianchen continued to ask.

”I don’t know, regardless, the rumor goes like this. It’s strange though, the second miss of the Wang family apparently only met Young Master Xinyang once, it’s impossible for them to have much contact, so why did she conclude Young Master Xinyang is a ruthless person?”

”Maybe it’s intuition!” Ye Tianchen pondered briefly and said.

”Hey, what are you trying to accomplish by asking so many questions? Could it be that you’ve really taken a fancy to the second miss of the Wang family?”

”I’m telling you, forget about that toad wanting to eat swan meat. With your cultivation at the Martial King Realm, that second miss from the Wang family wouldn’t even look at you. Even if she did fancy one of us brothers, it wouldn’t be you, right?”

”Brothers? Are you guys actual siblings?” Ye Tianchen looked at the two martial artists on either side with surprise. Besides their somewhat sleazy appearances, they didn’t look alike at all!

”That’s right, I’m called Hei Bai!”

”And I am Wuchang!”

”What? Black and White Impermanence? You two have those names... hahaha!” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

”What’s so funny? Don’t you think our names sound domineering?”

”Don’t you think our names sound cool? By the way, what’s your name?”

This ”Black and White Impermanence” duo felt a bit frustrated seeing Ye Tianchen laugh so hard. They had thought long and hard about these names, imagining they would become famous and instill fear throughout the Martial Arts World. Yet here was Ye Tianchen mocking them, which did not sit well with them, so they asked for his name.

”Me? I’m afraid you’ll feel inferior if I tell you. Listen up, my name is Oxhead and Horseface!” Ye Tianchen chuckled while saying.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Black and White Impermanence duo darkened. Hei Bai couldn’t help but say, ”Brother, don’t mess with us. We’re well-meaning and righteous people, hoping to make friends!”

”Indeed, we feel a kindred spirit with you and would love to befriend you. You being so elusive won’t do!” Wuchang chimed in.

Ye Tianchen truly felt a bit troubled. He had spoken casually without intending to establish a friendship. After all, in this Martial Arts World, engaging with strange martial artists, especially without knowing their background, could lead to unnecessary trouble or even danger.

”Alright, I’ll tell you my real name. I’m Ye Tianchen!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”What? You’re Ye Tianchen, you...”

”Your courage is immense! I heard you offended the Ding Sect, the Xinyang family, and the Wang family. Now all three of these factions have experts here, yet you still dare to travel along? Your boldness is truly admirable to us brothers...”

”It’s nothing much!” Ye Tianchen said with a chuckle.

”We’ve heard lots about you. How about we do something together here in the Penglai Ancient Martial World?” Hei Bai asked Ye Tianchen with a mischievous grin.

”Do something bad?” Ye Tianchen pondered if anything good could come from this. This Black and White Impermanence duo didn’t seem like good people. Could he end up being their scapegoat?

”It’s not really something bad. My brother misspoke, he’s not good with words. We meant something good actually!” Wuchang glared at Hei Bai as he spoke.

”Yes, that was my mistake, I should have said it’s a good thing!” Hei Bai quickly added with a smile.

”What thing? If I’m not informed in advance, I’m afraid I can’t help you!” Ye Tianchen intentionally replied slowly.

Seeing Ye Tianchen genuinely interested, the Black and White Impermanence duo glanced around, noticing no martial artists were particularly close by. Then, Wuchang smiled and said, ”Good brother, we should be loyal and work together. To be honest, we came to Linxian City not for the Taishi family’s inheritance but for a jar of wine!”

”Wine?” Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected that. He’d assumed these sneaky brothers had discovered some treasure they wanted to seize, only to find out it was just for a jar of wine.

However, when it came to wine, Ye Tianchen did feel a bit of craving. The wine he brought from Desolate Stone Village was nearly gone. Drinking heartily and eating big had become an indispensable part of his travels in the Martial Arts World. Mentioning wine sparked his interest, especially seeing the different glint in the Black and White Impermanence duo’s eyes when they spoke of this jar. It was surely no ordinary wine worth understanding more about. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.
