Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 122: Chapter 121: [The Person Gudu Ang]

Gudu Ang was most definitely not a master to be underestimated, being a few years younger than Cang Lang and having served as one of his subordinates in the past. With him around, Tieshu had not been able to become Cang Lang’s top warrior.

After several years of tempering, Gudu Ang’s strength had gradually caught up with that of Cang Lang, which was also the reason why he had managed to leap to the position of deputy director of the police department. The moment he appeared, Ye Tianchen had already made his judgment: this man possessed an aura of justice, an air of arrogance, and an even stronger domineering presence.

Facing Ye Tianchen’s frivolous demeanor, which completely disregarded him, Gudu Ang felt somewhat angry. This time, as a senior leader personally taking action to apprehend Ye Tianchen due to the serious matter involving the Qin family, Gudu Ang brought more than ten armed elite soldiers. Little did he know that Ye Tianchen was not going to comply at all and had no intention of following him, leading to an enraged Gudu Ang kicking the door of the Ye family’s villa off its hinges.

Ye Tianchen, of course, would not leave with Gudu Ang and his men in front of his mother, Luo Yan, especially since this matter was even more serious than the last time two corrupt police officers came to arrest him. It was imaginable that the chances of Gudu Ang personally moving to arrest someone were very small, and if not for the Qin family’s significant influence in Capital City, there would be no need for Gudu Ang to take matters into his own hands.

In order not to worry his mother, Luo Yan, Ye Tianchen decided to ignore Gudu Ang and his group. Little did he know that Gudu Ang also had a violent temper, kicking the door of the Ye family’s villa off its hinges in a clear intention to capture Ye Tianchen by force.

”I’ll say it one last time, come with us!” Gudu Ang said fiercely, staring at Ye Tianchen.

”And I’ll repeat once more, hurry up and take out a few hundred-dollar bills to compensate for my door,” Ye Tianchen said with equal individuality.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Gudu Ang frowned, clearly seeing that Ye Tianchen was playing with him, even with a hint of scorn. He was a senior leader who had come personally to arrest him, and not only was this guy not cooperating, but he also wanted compensation for the damaged door. Wasn’t this just looking for trouble?

”Since you resist, I’ll have no choice but to use force!”

As he spoke, Gudu Ang had already clenched his fists, a confident smile appearing on his face. Ye Tianchen had caused a stir in Capital City during these days, and Gudu Ang had heard some of the news about him. Reports claimed that this profligate heir of the Ye family had undergone a complete transformation, significantly increasing his skill and strength. Even the top assassin of Capital City, Wuxue, was no match for Ye Tianchen, which somewhat irritated Gudu Ang.

Not to mention all of China, in the realm of Capital City, Gudu Ang’s power was among the top, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Cang Lang, one of the top three War Kings in China. Imagine how strong that must be. The battle between Ye Tianchen and Cang Lang had not yet taken place, and it was still unknown how strong Cang Lang was and whether he could defeat Ye Tianchen. However, based on Ye Tianchen’s judgment, Cang Lang was indeed very strong, so powerful that even he could not see through him.

”Then we’ll have to see if you’re strong enough...” Ye Tianchen also said seriously.

”Arrogant!”

As soon as Gudu Ang finished speaking, he threw a punch at Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen frowned and didn’t confront it head-on but dodged to the side. At the same time, his right leg swept out, forcing Gudu Ang out of the villa’s doorway, and he charged out after him.

Ye Tianchen felt anger at Gudu Ang for kicking down the villa’s door, which was equivalent to a direct challenge. In the past, some might have dared to do so, but now that he, Ye Tianchen, had returned, he absolutely would not allow anyone to bully the Ye family, nor would he permit anyone to insult his family members. Thus, he first forced Gudu Ang out of the villa, afraid that continuing the fight inside would cause further damage.

The two figures – Gudu Ang retreated to the grass outside the villa, while Ye Tianchen immediately pursued. Since Gudu Ang was intent on forcefully taking him away, Ye Tianchen would not be polite. Damaging the villa’s gate was not just a matter of compensation; it was also a blow to the Ye family’s household dignity, a justice that Ye Tianchen was determined to reclaim.

The ten or so armed elite soldiers standing by the roadside of the villa were somewhat dumbfounded. They did not expect the Ye family’s youngster, Ye Tianchen, to dare to strike at Gudu Ang and even seemed to be on par with him, engaging in several intense exchanges in a blink of an eye.

Bang!

After exchanging punches, both Gudu Ang and Ye Tianchen were forced back several steps. At this moment, Gudu Ang was shocked. Ye Tianchen’s skills were so impressive that he was not at a disadvantage in an all-out engagement. The confrontation between the two just now was a genuine struggle with no fancy maneuvers – it was a battle relying on their true strength.

As for Ye Tianchen, his judgment went even deeper: Gudu Ang’s strength was certainly not inferior to Cang Lang’s. This guy had not yet used his Inner Strength or anything similar. In terms of speed and power, Ye Tianchen’s current purely physical resistance was still slightly inferior.

”The rumors in Capital City say that the Ye family’s debauched heir, Ye Tianchen, has undergone a transformation and become an extraordinary fighter. It seems the rumors are not false!” Gudu Ang said coldly, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”You used to serve under Cang Lang as his subordinate, quite a comedown for you, or maybe you’ve grown a lot in these past years. But even with your current performance, you’re still not up to the task of taking me away. Go all out.” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Gudu Ang furrowed his brows. He certainly hadn’t gone all out just then. As the former top war general under Cang Lang and now a high-ranking official, his strength had indeed greatly improved over these few short years. His true capabilities were far beyond what he had shown. If he really unleashed his full power, not to mention the long term, even within the whole Capital City, there would be very few who could match him in battle.

”I’d rather not go all out, but if you really dare to resist arrest, I might have to consider it,” Gudu Ang said coldly.

”It’s resisting arrest for me, go all out,” Ye Tianchen said, shrugging his shoulders with a smile.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Gudu Ang’s eyes turned somewhat bloodshot, and he started to get angry. Back when he was the top war general for Cang Lang, he was an extreme combat fanatic. After being moved to a higher position, he seldom had the chance to fight, which could drive a battle maniac like him insane. To vent, Gudu Ang took to running laps around the large training ground every day.

Now, with Ye Tianchen looking down on him and proving to be no slouch in their intense battle—not ceding any advantage—Gudu Ang’s fighting spirit surged. Since Ye Tianchen was resisting arrest, Gudu Ang now had a legitimate reason to strike.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but watch Gudu Ang carefully, noticing the man’s demeanor had completely changed. It was as if he became a different person altogether, like a resurrected ancient fierce beast. The vicious aura radiating from him made the grass quiver without any wind, a phenomenon caused only by the explosive release of powerful Inner Strength. Even Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but marvel; Gudu Ang was indeed very strong.

Ye Tianchen stepped back. Though his left hand was still casually tucked in his pocket, his right fist was now clenched tight. With Gudu Ang’s aura exploding forth in such a mighty manner, Ye Tianchen dared not let his guard down. He didn’t know how dominating Gudu Ang’s next move would be; he had to go all out to defend himself.

”Stop!”

Just as Gudu Ang was about to unleash his full power, and Ye Tianchen was prepared to fight him with all his might, another military off-road vehicle stopped by the roadside. Cang Lang hurried down from the vehicle and stepped in to stop the fight between Ye Tianchen and Gudu Ang.

”Why are you here?” Gudu Ang, seeing Cang Lang arrive, stopped his attacking stance and asked with an icy tone.

”I know you wanted to take Ye Tianchen, but Elder Yang has commanded that I take over the Qin family’s affairs. Ye Tianchen will come with me,” Cang Lang said, casting a calm glance at Gudu Ang.

Seeing the exchange between Gudu Ang and Cang Lang, Ye Tianchen felt something was off. The two used to have a superior-subordinate relationship, with Gudu Ang being Cang Lang’s top war general. Their relationship should have been good, yet they seemed almost like sworn enemies. Something didn’t add up!

Gudu Ang cast a glance at Cang Lang, then looked coldly at Ye Tianchen before walking toward the roadside. The order to capture Ye Tianchen had come directly from Chen Sheng, but when it came to authority, Chen Sheng did not rank as highly as Yang Yi. Or to put it differently, regardless of the level of authority between Chen Sheng and Yang Yi, there was no sense in having such a conflict when holding office in China; it was completely unnecessary.

”Cang Lang, I heard Ye Tianchen challenged you. If I were you, I would’ve flattened him with a single punch,” Gudu Ang sneered as he whispered to Cang Lang.

”Ye Tianchen’s skills are not as weak as you imagine. I’d advise you not to provoke him lightly,” Cang Lang said, glancing at Gudu Ang.

”Hmph, is that so? Are you afraid? I’m not. If you’re scared, just give up the title of being one of the three War Kings,” Gudu Ang scoffed.

Watching Gudu Ang leave, Cang Lang let out a sigh of relief. He looked at Ye Tianchen, who was smoking not far away, and walked over. He felt fortunate to have arrived on time; had Gudu Ang really fought with Ye Tianchen, Capital City might have witnessed another huge piece of news.

”Come with me, Elder Yang wants to see you,” Cang Lang said to Ye Tianchen.

”See me again? Didn’t we just meet? I was planning on sleeping in at home!” Ye Tianchen yawned as he spoke.

”This time you’ve stirred up quite the storm. Even Qin Yi is dead. You must understand how serious this is. The national authorities are shaken. This won’t be easily settled. We’re trying to help you,” Cang Lang whispered to Ye Tianchen. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote and support me.
