Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 322: Chapter 321 [Weirdo Woman and Weirdo Man]

Zhang Lan was Han Jie’s cousin. She had been the captain of the female Special Police Team and was very beautiful. Ye Tianchen had already seen her, possessing both figure and beauty, and needless to say, she was incredibly formidable. She could even spar with Ye Tianchen, who was now at the peak of the King-level Superpower Realm. This stunningly peculiar woman truly caught Ye Tianchen’s eye.

The bet between the two took effect the moment Ye Tianchen charged towards Black Mist Canyon. If Zhang Lan rescued Han Jie first, Ye Tianchen would have to serve her tea and water for three months. If Ye Tianchen rescued Han Jie first, Zhang Lan would have to give him her first kiss. This was no joke; they were both dead serious.

Sato was a high-ranking elder of the Northern Sky One-Blade Sect, a formidable expert ranking within the top ten in his sect. Once he made a move, he was sure to display an overwhelming presence. This time, he personally oversaw the mission and brought along the Four Great Killing Kings, including Dao Gejian—among the strongest in the Northern Sky One-Blade Sect, all ranking within the top twenty.

The Four Great Killing Kings were a name given internally by the Northern Sky One-Blade Sect. These four individuals were the most powerful among the younger generations of the sect. If measured by their strength, they were likely even stronger than Dao Gejian, and perhaps even surpassed Guitian Yilang.

At that moment, the remaining Three Great Killing Kings were alarmed upon hearing Sato’s words. Their own strength was formidable, typically unmatched, and to find an opponent worthy of battle against Elder Sato was almost impossible. Those who could earn his praise and attention were even rarer.

This proved Sato’s prowess. As soon as Ye Tianchen entered the Black Mist Canyon, deploying his Superpower Perception and Superpower Isolation Net, Sato had already sensed Ye Tianchen’s arrival and frowned. The powerful aura that Ye Tianchen felt, enough to make one tremble, was indeed the fluctuation of energy from Sato’s body, though it was somewhat restrained and hidden.

”Is the newcomer really that strong, Elder?” asked a black-clothed assassin standing in the middle, in disbelief and reluctant acceptance.

Sato glanced at the remaining three Killing Kings, then opened his eyes to speak earnestly and solemnly, ”Dao Gejian is dead. The rescue operatives sent by China this time are no ordinary Special Forces; they’re extremely powerful, and I may even need to take action myself!”

”Don’t worry, Elder Sato, we won’t let you need to make a move!” another black-clothed assassin said confidently.

”Since all four of us Killing Kings have been deployed, our mission is to eliminate all the Special Forces along the Black Mist Forest border, delivering the heaviest blow to China and showing them the might of our Northern Sky One-Blade Sect,” proclaimed another Killing King arrogantly.

”Elder, Dao Gejian is dead?” The black-clothed assassin in the middle, though arrogant, was calmer than the other two Kings. Surprised by the news of Dao Gejian’s death, he said, ”Dao Gejian might not have been the strongest among us four Killing Kings, but he definitely wasn’t the weakest. In the entire Northern Sky One-Blade Sect, he was among the top young experts. He was sent to lure and kill more Special Forces at the border, to strike the heaviest blow against China.”

Little did he know, Dao Gejian would encounter Li Wang, a man with the strength of a Martial Venerate Realm, who was once a middle-level general of the Heavenly Gang Level. In the ensuing battle, both men perished together. To Dao Gejian’s surprise, the strength of China’s military forces and Ancient Martial Sects had not weakened over the years but remained as formidable. It seemed Japan’s chances of invading China again were not only slim but could also possibly lead to their own destruction.

”Dead. I can feel that his life force has been extinguished. The ones coming for the rescue are formidable; do not underestimate them. Kill all the other Special Forces. They have strong pride and won’t reveal even a word. Just leave that woman as bargaining chip.” Elder Sato nodded and instructed.

”Yes!”

The remaining three Killing Kings of the Northern Sky One-Blade Sect exited Sato’s tent. Despite his repeated cautions, they couldn’t believe that someone more powerful than Sato could exist in this world. After all, it had been almost twenty years since Sato had needed to make a move—not for lack of chance but lack of necessity. In plain terms, he hadn’t met a worthy opponent; it was enough to leave the task to his subordinates.

Pu!

Bang!

Thud!

Zhang Lan was fast, catching up with Ye Tianchen quickly, with a blade appearing in her right hand. Her movements were swift and fierce, taking down a black-clothed assassin with a single strike.

”I’ve killed seven, how about you?” Ye Tianchen teased.

”Six!” Zhang Lan replied, pulling a face at Ye Tianchen before rushing towards another black-clothed assassin.

Ye Tianchen chuckled softly. It was truly enjoyable to chat with a beauty during intense combat, and Zhang Lan was indeed an extraordinary woman—still playful and cute enough to make faces at Ye Tianchen in such a moment.

All the way, Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan slashed their way into Black Mist Canyon. The black-clothed assassins that emerged to block them fell not because of a lack of strength, but rather because no one expected to face opponents so powerful. In particular, the eccentric woman dressed in urban fashion and high heels was like a female version of the Death God—absolutely formidable.

Suddenly, in front of Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan, only one black-clad assassin was left standing, his legs literally shaking with fear.

He had never imagined that top fighters like them would be slaughtered like dogs and chickens, utterly powerless to fight back in front of Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan. One was a peculiar woman wearing high-heeled sandals, and the other was a peculiar man who always wore a smile when killing. Together, they were simply like Black and White Impermanence, unbeatable by anyone.

”You, you’ve angered Elder Sato, you’ll all die...” the remaining black-clad assassin said fiercely.

”If I kill him, that’ll make it eight for me and you’re still at six. If you kill him, then we’re tied seven to seven...” Ye Tianchen glanced at Zhang Lan and said with a smile.

Whoosh! The dagger in Zhang Lan’s right hand flew out, unexpectedly stabbing towards Ye Tianchen. By the time Ye Tianchen dodged the dagger, Zhang Lan had already charged at the last remaining black-clad assassin, fists flying.

”Wow, women really are ruthless when they go berserk, ready to betray even a handsome guy at any moment!” Ye Tianchen caught the dagger that Zhang Lan had thrown with some speechlessness.

”Are you handsome? I didn’t notice... BAM!”

Zhang Lan’s abilities were something Ye Tianchen had witnessed all along the way; they were extremely formidable. In the blink of an eye, she had taken out the last assassin, her beautiful leg sending him flying into a big rock, where he smashed his head and bled to death.

If it hadn’t been for Zhang Lan’s intervention, and if Han Jie hadn’t mentioned her to Ye Tianchen, he would have been surprised by this beautiful yet peculiar woman’s abilities. Despite that, he couldn’t help but start to admire this woman.

”Seven to seven, we’re tied. You can’t beat me!” Zhang Lan made a cheeky face at Ye Tianchen, puckering her lips in her signature sexy pout, slightly sticking out her cute little mouth as she spoke to him.

”It’s not over yet, and you’re already getting cocky. Be careful, or you’ll lose your first kiss!” Ye Tianchen teased her with a chuckle.

”None of your business, you big bully; just you wait!” Han Jie glared at Ye Tianchen with her beautiful eyes while speaking firmly.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan were equally determined—she, a beautiful oddity, and he, an unreliable man with a dual personality of a Death God and a scoundrel. These two together made a peculiar couple, yet one that could be described as quite romantic and warm-hearted.

However, after Zhang Lan had killed the last black-clad assassin, three more black-clad assassins burst out from the underbrush ahead. Without a word, they swung their samurai swords, slashing at Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan.

Three gigantic swaths of sword energy, whooshing with the sound of slicing through the air, cut through everything as they struck at Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan. Faced with this sudden and intimidating attack, Zhang Lan was somewhat flustered, and by the time she came to her senses, the sword energy was already bearing down on her head.

”Ahh...” Even though Zhang Lan was strong, she was still a girl; in the face of such danger, she couldn’t help but scream.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The three swaths of sword energy dissipated, all striking a golden shield. In a critical moment, Ye Tianchen had rushed in front of Zhang Lan, using the Gold Element Superpower Skill, ”Golden Divine Shield,” to block the three powerful slashes.

Having intercepted the three forceful attacks, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but frown because three cracks had appeared on his Golden Divine Shield. The three black-clad assassins before him were indeed extraordinary—it was the first time anyone had managed to break Ye Tianchen’s Golden Divine Shield.

Yet, these three assassins were even more astonished. The three of them were part of the four ’Four Great Killing Kings’ of the Northern Heavenly Sword Sect. Having earned the title of King of Killers, their strength was evident. It wasn’t just an ordinary feat to withstand the combined attack of the three. Even if they were facing a master, they should have been unable to resist the trio’s joint assault. But this young Chinese man before them had given them an unimaginable shock. No wonder Elder Sato had said that among the experts coming to the rescue, there were those so powerful that even he might have to take action. (To be continued.
