Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 178: Chapter 177: [This Man is Too Strong!]

Ye Tianchen had never imagined that Xiao Ya would get hurt; he would never have thought that there could be someone as despicable and shameless as Hei Wa who would stoop so low as to attack a defenseless girl. It was utterly disgraceful!

”Yaer!” Ye Tianchen roared, throwing caution to the wind as he charged toward Xiao Ya.

”Damn it, what are you standing there for? Kill him, take the chance to kill him,” Hei Wa saw that Ye Tianchen seemed utterly distraught and shouted excitedly to the remaining thugs.

The group of thugs wielding machetes under Ah Hu’s command all feared each other and not a single one dared to rush forward. The sight of Ye Tianchen ruthlessly slaughtering their comrades had genuinely chilled many of them. Ye Tianchen, covered in blood, even with blood dripping from his hair, looked like a Death God emerging from Hell, unstoppable by anyone.

”You... all of you, charge together, slash him to death, whoever lands a blow gets a reward of a hundred thousand, killing this kid earns a million...”

Seeing that things were not going well, Hei Wa knew that his brother’s men were all intimidated by Ye Tianchen, none of them daring to advance, and this certainly wouldn’t lead to Ye Tianchen’s death.

Hearing Hei Wa’s words, the remaining thugs were stunned for a moment, then their eyes turned bloodshot as they glared at Ye Tianchen ferociously. Although they were frightened by him, the lure of cash made them reckless, each harboring a sliver of hope, refusing to believe that so many of them could not take down Ye Tianchen.

With a swift slash, a dark-skinned thug gritted his teeth and aimed his blade at Ye Tianchen’s back. Ye Tianchen’s eyes grew cold as ice. He turned around, grabbed the arm of the dark-skinned thug, and with his right hand, he seized the man’s neck. There was a sharp snap—the thug’s neck was broken by Ye Tianchen, who let the body slump lifelessly to the ground, eyes wide open in death.

Ye Tianchen snatched the machete from the hand of the dark-skinned thug, and rage began to build within him. With Xiao Ya injured, he unleashed the full fury within his heart, his wrath burning as fiercely as True Fire.

”All together now, I... we are so many, we can’t possibly fail to kill him!” At that moment, another thug wielding a machete shouted with a trembling voice.

Suddenly, over a dozen fearless thugs surrounded Ye Tianchen, their machetes aiming for his vital points. Ye Tianchen stood there motionless. As their blades descended in unison, Ye Tianchen pressed his right foot hard against the ground and spun in mid-air. The thugs encircling him all stood agape, frozen in place, watching him in disbelief.

Ye Tianchen’s blade was smeared with blood, his expression icy. At that moment, his murderous intent surged immensely; he held nothing back. Enraged, he was like a true Death God in possession, and no one could come within a step of him.

Hei Wa stumbled backward in terror, nearly collapsing onto the ground. As Ye Tianchen walked out of the circle formed by the dozen strong men, the would-be assassins that had rushed in to kill him were all lying in pools of blood. Ye Tianchen had slit each of their throats in that single stroke, blood gushing out uncontrollably.

With the machete in his right hand, Ye Tianchen stepped toward Hei Wa. Hei Wa had already turned pale with fright, cold sweat dripping down like rain. Death filled the air in the alley, the only sound the thundering heartbeats of Ah Hu’s terrified thugs.

”Yaer, Yaer, are you alright?” Ye Tianchen knelt down, cradling Xiao Ya in his arms, calling out frantically.

Xiao Ya, though weak, opened her eyes. As a frail woman, devoid of the power to truss a chicken, she had unhesitatingly and selflessly taken a blade for Ye Tianchen, perhaps out of a love that had grown quietly, or maybe out of gratitude. She didn’t want to see him get hurt because of her, didn’t want to be his burden.

”Yaer, Yaer...” Ye Tianchen held Xiao Ya tightly in his arms, his fist clenched, he shouted with urgency.

”Tianchen, go, quickly... otherwise, we’ll both die...” Xiao Ya opened her eyes weakly, lovingly gazing at Ye Tianchen as she spoke.

”No, no one who touches you will live!”

At this moment, Ye Tianchen’s battle rage ignited. As he glanced back at the thugs behind him, the sight of him caused the armed thugs to involuntarily retreat several steps, no longer daring to act rashly.

”Tianchen, go, leave me, I...”

Before Xiao Ya could finish her sentence, she fainted in Ye Tianchen’s arms. Completely taken aback, he clenched his teeth and muttered to himself: ”Yaer, don’t worry, I’ll take you away, no one will stop us...”

As Ye Tianchen slowly got to his feet, the remaining thugs surrounding him quivered with fear, unconsciously backing away. Ye Tianchen’s murderous aura was at its peak, and he was ready to unleash his fury, that overpowering sensation enough to make someone’s spirit break.

Ye Tianchen didn’t say a word. He wiped the blood from his face, his gaze growing even more determined. Picking up a bloodstained machete from the ground, he tore a strip of fabric from his clothes with his teeth and tightly wrapped the machete to his right hand. Then he hoisted Xiao Ya up, placing her over his left shoulder, and supported her back with his left hand.

An eerie silence enveloped the broad and narrow alley. No one dared to move, not even breathe heavily, as a tall and stern figure carried a beautiful girl on his shoulder. The girl’s waist was supported by his left hand while his right was armed with a machete strapped to the arm, especially those resolute and cold eyes—merely looking at them could send chills down anyone’s spine.

Ye Tianchen, with Xiao Ya on his left shoulder, took step by step toward the exit of the alley. With every step he moved forward, the group of brutal men blocking his path involuntarily stepped back. At this moment, Ye Tianchen was like a Death God, carrying his beautiful angel firmly forward, unstoppable.

Hei Wa was panting heavily, not from exhaustion or grievous injury, but from the domineering aura emanating from Ye Tianchen, which was nearly suffocating him. Watching Ye Tianchen shoulder Xiao Ya and walk toward the exit of the alley step by step, Hei Wa bit his teeth and gripped the machete in his hands tightly.

”Kill, kill him! He’s already injured and can’t run away with both of them...” Hei Wa shouted loudly.

Still, some fearless thugs charged at Ye Tianchen. Without any expression, without a single step back, he kept moving forward.

Machetes swung through the air. The machete in Ye Tianchen’s right hand constantly lashed out, blood splattered, screams and shouts of killing filled the entire alley. Ye Tianchen ignored the many knife wounds on his hands, legs, and back, protecting Xiao Ya as he pushed forward. With every swing of his blade, a thug’s body would fall.

In the end, Ye Tianchen burst into True Fire, carrying Xiao Ya and sprinting ahead. The machete in his right hand continually reaped lives, each strike fatal.

Perhaps it was forgetfulness, or perhaps it was Xiao Ya’s injuries that enraged him, but at this moment, he wasn’t that he didn’t want to use his superpower; he forgot to use it. The butcher’s knife in his hand effortlessly harvested lives. This method was more exhilarating and blood-pumping, and it greatly stimulated Ye Tianchen’s War Blood as well as providing substantial training to his flesh.

”Why... why, why do you force me!” Ye Tianchen beheaded a thug with his knife and roared.

”Kill him, don’t let him...”

Hei Wa charged from behind. With so many brothers dead, if they couldn’t kill Ye Tianchen now, then they would no longer be able to mix in their circles. But before he could finish speaking, Ye Tianchen suddenly turned around, glared at Hei Wa, and the machete that was bound in his right hand flew straight towards Hei Wa.

A squelching sound pierced the air as the machete penetrated Hei Wa’s abdomen, and with immense force, pinned him, along with his corpse, against the wall. Blood dripped down the wall, a sight that was both unnerving and passionately fiery.

”Come on, come and chop me, come on...” Ye Tianchen yelled out.

”Ah!”

A machete-wielding thug broke down mentally, the alley filled with blood, severed limbs, and decapitated heads, resembling Hell on Earth. Dropping the machete to the ground, he screamed, held his head with both hands, then ran off like a madman.

The second one...

The third one...

The remaining assassins collapsed; they dared not attack a Death God anymore, screaming and fleeing in urination, going as far as they could, never wanting to look back...

Ye Tianchen let out a breath, nearly unable to stand steady. After battling fiercely for over half an hour without using superpowers and fighting against more than three hundred machete-wielding men by himself, it was a truly horrifying feat.

He laid Xiao Ya down, and as Ye Tianchen looked at her unconscious, he felt a surge of urgency, not knowing the extent of this beautiful girl’s injuries. She had recklessly pushed him away to take a knife for him. Ye Tianchen was racked with guilt; it was all his fault for wanting to take the opportunity to train his physical body, which had resulted in Xiao Ya being hurt.

Holding Xiao Ya in his arms, Ye Tianchen walked step by step towards the mouth of the alley, his body covered in blood as if he had been bathed in a rain of blood. Reaching the entrance of the alley, he did not care about his own wounds, thinking only of getting Xiao Ya to the hospital quickly. If anything happened to this girl, Ye Tianchen would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Just as Ye Tianchen stepped out of the alley with Xiao Ya in his arms, the people on the street outside the alley were stunned, staring at him in disbelief. Some knew what had happened inside the alley but did not dare to meddle. Seeing Ye Tianchen now, carrying Xiao Ya and covered in blood, they were shocked into stillness.

”Heavens, he actually fought his way out.”

”Is this guy even human? More than three hundred armed with machetes couldn’t kill him?”

”To protect the woman he loves and carve a bloody path. This man is too strong.”

At that moment, the sound of alarms rang out, police cars from all directions converged, and more than ten police cars blocked Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ya at the entrance of the alley. Nearly a hundred heavily armed special police officers descended from the vehicles, all aiming their submachine guns at Ye Tianchen...(To be continued.
