Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 2023: Chapter 2021: Huo Xianer Is in Great Danger

[Brothers and sisters, little Gou loves you all, haha! Let’s talk a bit about little Gou’s recent situation. I’m preparing a beautifully written new book, so the updates for ”Super Warrior” have been a bit slow. I hope you understand, the forthcoming content will be even more exciting and not to be missed!]

Fire God Sacred Land’s Supreme Elder Huo Xun!

Is a despicable and shameless person, hypocritically virtuous, with a belly full of selfishness and rotten intentions, which Huo Xianer is aware of!

But!

Huo Tian, the Holy Master of Fire God Sacred Land, is also such a person, which Huo Xianer isn’t aware of!

Ever since Huo Tian became the Holy Master of Fire God Sacred Land a century ago, he left the Fire God Sacred Land, claiming to go out for training. Huo Tian is not from the Ancient Fire God’s bloodline inheritance tribe. However, his talents, his strength, his leadership skills are all enough to assume the role of Holy Master; it’s just nobody knows what kind of person Huo Tian really is because everyone who was once close to Huo Tian has basically passed away!

If at this moment, Huo Xianer heard the conversation between Huo Tian and Huo Xun, she would be greatly shocked, even stupefied, because Huo Xianer would never have thought that this sanctimonious old man, Huo Xun, who is only seeking personal gain, wants his own lineage to control Fire God Sacred Land as well, but would never have guessed that Huo Tian, as the Holy Master of Fire God Sacred Land, would also think this way. Although Huo Tian wouldn’t partner with Huo Xun, they might eventually fight each other, but now their common target is actually Huo Xianer, which Huo Xianer hadn’t expected and is deeply saddened by!

In reality, ever since Huo Xianer’s birth and growing to this age, although she doesn’t understand fully, she has sensed somewhat that ever since her direct lineage inheriting the Fire God bloodline, their numbers dwindled until at last, there’s only her left, Huo Xianer had a strong ominous feeling, a feeling so intense she feels she may end up dying unnaturally; however, she doesn’t know who she can talk to, doesn’t know who she can confide in. Perhaps this is the most brutal and bloody part of internal clan struggle!

Mainly, in Huo Xianer’s view, they are all descendants of Fire God Sacred Land, all family, all kin. Even if there are some struggles, it wouldn’t escalate to the point of drawing swords against each other, even killing one another, yet never thought that such things happen, she’s very heartbroken and suffering!

”Huo Tian, you mean... kill Huo Xianer outside, that won’t arouse any suspicion among the clansmen, then we can do it without anyone knowing?” Huo Xun looked at Huo Tian and asked.

”Exactly, with Huo Xianer’s death, it will certainly cause a stir in Fire God Sacred Land. After all, she is the sole inheritor of the Ancient Fire God bloodline, her death will sever many beliefs, we must not disregard this!” Huo Tian nodded and said.

”That young martial artist named Ye Tianchen is not a mere commoner. Do you have the confidence to completely kill him?” Huo Xun thought for a moment and asked.

”That’s my concern. Haven’t I kept my true identity undisclosed? Hasn’t Huo Xianer always obeyed my orders?” Huo Tian said with a venomous smile.

”Hmm? Seems like you plan to compete with me for the Fire God Gourd!” Huo Xun coldly stared at Huo Tian and asked.

”Of course, power reigns supreme, the capable one gets it. Yet, we are not enemies for now, no need to fight fiercely; it’s all about who gets the Fire God Gourd first!” Huo Tian responded unafraid of Huo Xun.

”Fine, let me tell you upfront, if I obtain the Fire God Gourd, your time as the Holy Master of Fire God Sacred Land will be over, and you’ll die!” Huo Xun said ferociously.

”Same goes, each relies on their means. If I get the Fire God Gourd first, your tenure as Supreme Elder of Fire God Sacred Land ends too, and you will also die!” Huo Tian coldly said.

After uttering these words, Huo Tian left. Nobody expected that a man like him as the Holy Master of Fire God Sacred Land would be so selfish and vicious, exceedingly cruel toward other cultivation sects and families just fine, but with his own clan members, he’s this ruthless, truly surpassing expectations. The most important thing is, having such a person in control of Fire God Sacred Land is really terrifying. Would Fire God Sacred Land’s people have good days? No, they wouldn’t!

Currently, Huo Xianer is still unaware that besides Supreme Elder Huo Xun being this cruel, Holy Master Huo Tian is even more treacherous and venomous. Maybe, ultimately, Huo Xianer could fall into Huo Tian’s trap, be deceived by him...

”Litian, have you not awakened yet?” Huo Xun glanced at the stunned Huo Litian and asked deliberately in a deep voice.

”Master, I... I don’t understand one thing, why did you plant such a Binding Curse on my Divine Thought?” Huo Litian asked with a somewhat painful expression.

Huo Xun furrowed his brows, then shook his head, pretending to be very helpless and said: ”Child, when you were young, Master discovered your talent; back then, you were an orphan, I noticed your extraordinary aptitude, obedient, and thus took you in as a disciple, taught you skills. Now you’ve become one of the young strong ones in this Earth Ancient Martial World, tell me, how has Master treated you these years?”

”Master... I... Master treats me like a son!” Huo Litian said earnestly.

”That’s right, when you were little, I feared you wouldn’t focus on cultivation, also worried if any issues arose during cultivation, corrections wouldn’t be timely, thus planted this Binding Curse in your body for you to grow stronger faster, it was a painstaking effort on my part, didn’t think a few words of instigation by such an outsider made you... leaving me extremely disappointed and heartbroken!” Huo Xun sighed and shook his head.

”Master, I... I didn’t mean it that way, I know Master treats me like a son, just feel that as I’ve grown, seems like this Binding Curse...” Huo Litian hesitated to continue.

Huo Xun glanced at Huo Litian, showing a gentle expression, and said, ”The Binding Curse was cast into your body when you were young. At that time, it was to aid your growth, and I was afraid something might go wrong, so I used a century-long Binding Curse’s power. Therefore, it will lift itself after a hundred years, no need to worry. Do you still not trust your master? Would your master ever harm you?”

”Master, I...” Huo Litian was taken aback. A hundred years—a Binding Curse of such duration!

”Alright, as long as you understand your master’s painstaking efforts. You heard my conversation with Huo Tian just now; we’ve come to this point. No matter what, we must obtain the Fire God Gourd—it’s our only winning card, otherwise, it will be quite perilous. For this, you must strive!” Huo Xun interrupted Huo Litian and said.

Huo Litian hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said, ”Master, rest assured, I will definitely obtain the Fire God Gourd. I will also become the next Holy Master, the next Fire God, even if the woman I love stands in my way. I will make her soul and form vanish!”

”Hmm, that’s the spirit, come with me now. We need a plan; I think to obtain the Fire God Gourd, we need to use our wits!” Huo Xun nodded in satisfaction and said with a cold smile.

At this moment!

Ye Tianchen, with Huo Xianer in his arms, or rather holding Huo Xianer like a princess, left the temporary Fire God Sacred Land in the valley of the Barbaric Forbidden Land. If they didn’t escape now, were they supposed to wait for death?

Sprinting all the way to a continuous mountain range, Ye Tianchen flew down, holding Huo Xianer, and just as he set her down, Ye Tianchen coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, his entire face ghostly pale. Huo Xianer, recalling how Ye Tianchen had held her just now, blushed slightly and hurriedly helped him up, anxiously asking:

”What’s wrong? Are you alright?”

”No big deal, just forced myself earlier, and it seemed the injury was on the verge of worsening, but I’ve stabilized it now!” Ye Tianchen replied with a smile.

Seeing Ye Tianchen like this, Huo Xianer couldn’t help but glare at him fiercely, sighed, and said, ”I’ve told you many times, at a time like this, you still want to show off. What if...”

”Isn’t it fine now? That old guy is quite formidable, and I don’t think he’ll let us go. We need to find a safe place to heal!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”With your current injuries, without ten to fifteen days, it will be hard to recover completely. A safe place... I’ve thought of one. It’s definitely secure!” Huo Xianer suddenly realized something and confidently said.

”What place?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”Don’t ask, just follow me. It shouldn’t be far from here, let’s go!” Huo Xianer replied with a playful smile.

Ye Tianchen looked at Huo Xianer’s mysteriously playful demeanor and couldn’t help but smile slightly. This girl’s energy always made him feel relaxed and carefree, forgetting many troubles and worries while with her!

Although Ye Tianchen was severely injured, with his robust physique and the True Qi in him, he could still hold on for a while. At least, his Qi Manipulation Flight wouldn’t be much of a problem. Since they weren’t escaping for their lives, slowly following behind Huo Xianer using Qi Manipulation Flight would suffice!

It was almost dark when Huo Xianer finally stopped, looked beneath her, and said, ”Here it is!”

Ye Tianchen looked toward where Huo Xianer was pointing. There was an utterly dilapidated place, nothing but ruins, with no cover nor any Rune Array—was this the safe place Huo Xianer spoke of?

”Is this place safe? Are you sure?” Ye Tianchen asked, somewhat incredulous, looking at Huo Xianer.

”Very safe, you’ll know if you follow me down!” Huo Xianer smiled and said.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Seeing Huo Xianer’s confident demeanor, Ye Tianchen nodded and followed behind her, flying down toward the ruins. However, as he approached the ruins, Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow in surprise, for he sensed an unusual energy... (To be continued.
