Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 331: Chapter 330: 【The Quirky Girl Is Actually Very Cute】

Along the way, Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan’s bickering never ceased, leaving Cang Lang and Luo Weike both utterly speechless. They truly admired the peculiar pair, the quirky woman and the quirky man.

There’s no need to mention Zhang Lan, who once served as the captain of the female Special Police Team. Dressed in urban attire and wearing sandals, she dared to venture into the Black Mist Forest alone to rescue her cousin. That kind of courage was something not many women could match, and beneath her beautiful exterior, she had a strong, independent heart.

Ye Tianchen, a man who could be like the Death God when serious, possessed unfathomable strength. Even Sato, one of the top ten elders of Beichen Ittoryu who had injected a large amount of gene mutation drugs and turned into a monster feared by all, was unable to kill Ye Tianchen. There was luck involved, but Ye Tianchen’s strength was unquestionable. Had it not been for Sato’s injection of a large amount of gene mutation drugs, making himself temporarily immortal, Ye Tianchen’s ”Golden Eyes” would have already killed him.

These two individuals, whose formidable skills commanded respect from anyone, were now bickering like children, somewhat resembling a quarreling couple, with neither backing down—one calling out ’quirky woman,’ the other ’quirky man.’

Off to the side, Han Jie was feeling a mix of envy and jealousy. She didn’t know why; previously, she had a favorable impression of Ye Tianchen but wouldn’t go so far as to say it was love. Now, however, she felt confused in her heart. Could this be the aftereffects of being rescued by a hero?

When the off-road vehicle reached the border town, it was already past three in the morning. Fortunately, due to the quiet night with many people asleep, the disturbance in the Black Mist Canyon hadn’t alarmed anyone.

Just as Ye Tianchen and the others arrived at the border town and had not yet disembarked, three figures in black appeared at the spot where Sato died in the Black Mist Canyon. Upon seeing the charred remains of Sato, reduced to a mere giant figure, all three were shocked. They had not expected him to die, especially Sato who had injected the gene mutation drugs—it was simply unbelievable.

”This... Sato, Elder Sato is dead?”

”How is that possible? Who killed him?”

The two Assassins beside couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment. Sato was an elder of Beichen Ittoryu, his strength and status far surpassed theirs by a great margin. This mission aimed to kill special forces soldiers along China’s borders while causing trouble and assessing the situation of China’s forces in the Black Mist Forest.

Japan did not dare to underestimate China, aware that China also had a multitude of masters, especially considering the many Ancient Martial Sects and the presence of extraordinary figures. To ensure the success and perfection of this mission, the highest levels of Beichen Ittoryu, including the Sword Emperor, sent Sato to carry it out.

Before departing, Guitian Yilang handed over the gene mutation drug, which was still unperfected and carried significant risks, to Sato, telling him that it was newly developed, could enhance a person’s combat capabilities in a short time, and had no side effects. He urged Sato to take it with him in case of emergency.

Sato was shrewd and didn’t fully trust Guitian Yilang; the Japanese didn’t completely trust each other, always maintaining some caution, which a lot had to do with their sinister and vicious nature.

Nevertheless, Sato was already in his sixties. Deep down, he yearned for youth and power. He had seen the drug before, and although he had never taken it, he had witnessed its effects on others, how it drastically increased their strength, so he took it with him.

No one would have expected Sato to die, to be killed by someone. If this news got back to the Beichen Ittoryu in Japan, it would surely cause a huge shock. Elder Sato of the Beichen Ittoryu was killed, a figure of great importance not just to Beichen Ittoryu but also to Japan.

The Assassin standing in the middle coldly surveyed the scene, astonished himself and frowning as he spoke: ”I know who killed Elder Sato. We need to report this to our superiors and seek revenge for Elder Sato and the Four Great Killing Kings who died!”

”Who?” The other two figures in black exclaimed inquiringly.

”Ye Tianchen!” The figure in the middle said coldly.

After speaking, the figure in the middle removed his black veil. Had Ye Tianchen been there, he surely would have attacked regardless of his injuries, for the person was none other than Guitian Yilang. The last time, Ye Tianchen had let him escape and had since then wanted to eliminate Guitian Yilang.

Guitian Yilang had been recuperating in Japan after his last battle with Ye Tianchen, where he suffered serious internal injuries. Upon returning to Beichen Ittoryu, he reported the situation and was punished. Somehow, he managed to escape and followed Sato here, not anticipating that the greatest adversary they would face this time would be Ye Tianchen. With Sato dead and no sight of Ye Tianchen’s corpse, it meant that Ye Tianchen had won.

For Guitian Yilang, the person he hated to the bone was none other than Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen was not only responsible for his defeat but had also caused him to be severely punished. Therefore, he was very familiar with Ye Tianchen’s energy signature and desperately wanted to tear Ye Tianchen into a thousand pieces.

”Lord Guitian, what should we do now?” a black-clad Assassin asked.

”Let’s just hang around the area for now, and report this information to the higher-ups immediately. I believe they will send experts here soon. Then we can enter China together and get rid of the scourge that is Ye Tianchen!” Guitian Yilang said with a vicious laugh.

After Ye Tianchen and his companions arrived at the small town, they checked into three rooms. Han Jie and Zhang Lan shared one, Cang Lang and Luo Weike shared another, and as for Ye Tianchen, of course, he had a room all to himself. In his own words, he was now severely injured and capable of anything, especially since he couldn’t be in contact with ladies.

What made Cang Lang and the others quite frustrated was that they couldn’t tell at all how seriously injured Ye Tianchen was. On the contrary, he kept bickering with Zhang Lan the entire time, which left everyone quite speechless.

Ye Tianchen entered his room and sat cross-legged on the bed. Despite his wounds healing on their own, Ye Tianchen still wanted to carefully check for any other injuries, especially following his fierce battle with that old man, Sato. In the final moments of their fight, that old man was covered in poisonous gas and liquid, and it was essential to inspect himself thoroughly.

Slowly entering a meditation state, Ye Tianchen sat completely still, using Inner Vision to examine his body’s condition. He was surprised to find the wounds on his shoulders and abdomen healing at a visible rate, exceptionally quickly. There was a very gentle and unique energy slowly aiding the healing of his injuries. This must have been provided by Zhang Ruotong. This couldn’t help but remind Ye Tianchen of the girl who silently gave her all for him.

”After returning, I should visit the Zhang family compound to see if Ruotong has come back,” Ye Tianchen thought to himself.

The fierce battle with Sato left Ye Tianchen with severe injuries, nearly cost him his life, and led to many realizations. These weren’t just combat techniques but also included insights into his superpower skills.

The Superpower Skills Ye Tianchen mastered in the apocalypse star were mostly unusable on modern Earth, especially those with enormous destructive power. He simply couldn’t use them. His own strength and realm weren’t powerful enough, and with the scarcity of Spiritual Energy on Earth, forcing their use could potentially backfire on himself.

Currently, there were several different superpowers existing within Ye Tianchen’s body, fluctuating continuously. He slowly suppressed these energies and aided the gentle power in healing his injuries.

With a creak, the door to Ye Tianchen’s room opened. Still seated cross-legged on the bed, he couldn’t help but startle and quickly suppressed the energy in his body. Although he wasn’t sure who it was, he could make a pretty good guess. Anyone who could unlock a bolted bedroom door and enter so quietly was without a doubt the oddball, Zhang Lan.

Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but smile inwardly, pretending to close his eyes to continue healing. He knew exactly what this odd girl Zhang Lan wanted to do—obviously, not to offer herself to him, and certainly not to keep a promise, but likely to threaten him.

In the dead of night, the person sneaking into Ye Tianchen’s bedroom was indeed Zhang Lan. She was wearing a slightly transparent nightgown that faintly revealed her curvaceous figure, alluring and seductive. She approached the seated Ye Tianchen step by step with a bit of caution and shyness, her lower lip protruding slightly, her upper lip tightly closed, while her eyes cutely looked at Ye Tianchen, like a child sneaking candy, in fear of getting caught.

Zhang Lan thought she hadn’t been discovered and slipped off her slippers, gingerly creeping closer to Ye Tianchen.

”Hoo... hoo...”

Just then, Ye Tianchen began to snore, startling Zhang Lan into quickly lying down at the edge of the bed, not moving, thinking that Ye Tianchen had woken up.

Little did she know, she only continued to hear the snoring, which infuriated Zhang Lan. She glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen and whispered in annoyance, ”You big jerk, you bizarre man, just wait until I get my hands on you!”

All the while, Ye Tianchen had been playing a trick on Zhang Lan from the start. Seeing Zhang Lan like this, he was barely able to suppress his laughter. He suddenly realized that this strong-willed and somewhat strange woman also had such an adorable side, thinking about sneaking into his room in the middle of the night to coerce him into nullifying their wager. She was just too funny. (To be continued. If you like this book, you are welcome to vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
