Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 662: Chapter 661 [Alice is Dead!]

Pfft!

A burst of blood and Red Child’s brain matter splattered out; Ye Tianchen was undoubtedly merciless. The red Thunder Arrow in his right hand pierced through Red Child’s head, from forehead to the back of the skull, going right through. Red Child was dead just like that!

Ye Tianchen collapsed to the ground, the monster with eight arms summoned by Red Child also vanished after Red Child’s death. With the Superpower User who cast the Superpower Skill gone, the creature he summoned naturally ceased to exist.

”Ye Tianchen...” Alice struggled to stand up, but the pain throughout her body was unbearable, making it impossible for her to walk to where Ye Tianchen lay.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen took a deep breath, forcibly supported himself to stand up, and staggered step by step towards Alice. By the time he reached her, Alice was already at death’s door, evidently severely injured by the eight-armed monster.

”Are you okay?” Ye Tianchen looked at Alice and couldn’t help but ask worriedly.

”Can you hold me?” Alice looked at Ye Tianchen and asked with pleading eyes.

Ye Tianchen crouched down and sat on the ground, slowly taking Alice into his embrace. He knew this woman was dying. To save him, she had gotten the remote control that directed Red Child. However, in blocking the eight-armed monster, Alice was gravely wounded, and it seemed she really couldn’t hold on much longer.

”Of course, any man would want to hold such a beautiful blonde in his arms, and I am no exception!” Ye Tianchen steadied his emotions and said with a smile.

”Hehe, you’re still so humorous. Do you know what I like the most about you?” Alice asked with a faint smile.

”What? It must be my charming features, right?” Ye Tianchen continued to tease and laugh.

”It’s your strong fighting will, the charm of staying calm no matter what the situation!” Alice said.

”Is that so? Well then, I’ll show you an even deeper charm of mine, so you must live and stay by my side,” Ye Tianchen said, looking at Alice’s face.

”Ah...”

Alice suddenly cried out in pain, her hands clutching her heart tightly. Ye Tianchen glanced at Alice’s chest, which showed only a little blood, but when he saw his own right hand that had been resting on Alice’s back, he was also startled; it was covered in blood. Alice’s heart had taken a severe blow. For ordinary people, the heart is a vital area, but for powerful cultivators, one would really die only if the head was shattered.

”What’s wrong? Hang in there, you’ll be okay,” said Ye Tianchen, momentarily flustered.

”No, I... I just want you to hold me tight; I know I’m done for!” Alice shook her head vigorously.

Seeing Alice like this, Ye Tianchen knew she was in agony. To save him, she first had the Iron Armor Army let them go, and at the crucial moment, she brought the remote controller. If it weren’t for Alice, Ye Tianchen would have certainly died today. The strength of Red Child, as an Innate Superpower User, was truly unimaginable. He had given it his all, yet still couldn’t kill Red Child. It was Alice, with the remote controller, who controlled Red Child’s actions, giving him the opportunity.

”Of course, I really like holding you. You’re so beautiful, so kind, so lovely...” Ye Tianchen said, smiling as he looked at Alice.

”You liar, have you ever loved me? Even just a little bit of affection?” Alice’s mouth trickled with blood as she looked at Ye Tianchen in pain and asked.

Ye Tianchen paused, to be honest, he wasn’t a fickle man and didn’t have such feelings towards Alice. But at this moment, after she had sacrificed her life to save him and was about to die, could he break her heart?

”Fool, I do like you!” Ye Tianchen held Alice tightly and said.

”You... you’re lying...” Alice said with a bitter smile.

”No, I’m not. I knew who you were back in Huaxia, and with my strength, I could have killed you at any time, but I didn’t do that. It was because I couldn’t bear to, your beauty attracted me, and I was enchanted by it,” Ye Tianchen shook his head and said earnestly to Alice.

”Really?” Alice asked with a hint of joy on her face.

”It’s definitely true, I swear!” Ye Tianchen said earnestly.

”No need, just hearing you say that makes me really happy. Holding me now, I feel so content, so very happy...” Alice’s tears began to flow, for she knew her time was wrong.

”Then I’ll just keep holding you, and we’ll go back to Huaxia together. You shouldn’t work for the United States anymore, it’s not worth it. Just stay by my side, happy and content!” Ye Tianchen held Alice tightly as he spoke.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen’s mood was also very solemn. Although it might seem forced to say he had fallen in love with Alice, this woman had sacrificed a lot for him, even her life. In these final moments, he wouldn’t break her heart. At this time, Alice was no longer the leader of any American spy agency; she was just a simple, ordinary, beautiful woman who had fallen in love with Ye Tianchen—a man she should not have fallen for. She only wished for Ye Tianchen to hold her like this; this alone would satisfy her. This was how a woman loves; when she truly falls for a man, no matter who he is or what he looks like, she’s willing to give everything for him.

”Tianchen, I... I’ve prepared a helicopter in another location, with our American insignia. You can safely return to Huaxia on it,” Alice struggled to say.

”I’m taking you with me!” Ye Tianchen said seriously.

”Hmm... Tianchen... I... really... love... you!”

Alice clung to Ye Tianchen’s hands, which then fell limply; her life ceased at that moment. Ye Tianchen was completely stunned, as the woman who loved him deeply left him, left this world, and sacrificed her life for him...

After an indeterminate amount of time, Ye Tianchen stood up and looked toward the southern part of New York City, which had turned into ruins. The body of Red Child remained standing, unmoving, with a fist-sized hole in his head, blood and brain matter flowing out.

Ye Tianchen picked up Alice, and step by step, walked forward. His heart was heavy at this moment. This mission, to save Ling Yuxun and her grandfather Ling Shuanghe and to successfully relocate the assets of Ling Group, had brought about unprecedented blows and losses to Ye Tianchen and his Thirteen Heavenly Kings Organization. Yet, Ye Tianchen did not regret it, nor did he feel any fear. On the contrary, he believed this experience was necessary. With a world full of countless powerhouses, having faced even Innate Superpower Users in battle, he now looked forward to clashing with more formidable adversaries. He was not yet powerful enough and needed more fierce battles to hone his strength.

In the dead of night, Ye Tianchen and people like Ling Yuxun were on a helicopter flying to Huaxia. Bao Tianglong and others were severely injured; this mission had been too exhausting, and they had fallen into deep sleep. Only Ling Yuxun and Ye Tianchen were awake. From the beginning to the end, Ye Tianchen held Alice’s body; he intended to bring this woman, who deeply loved him and gave her life for him, back to Huaxia for a peaceful burial in a place free from strife and conflict, a place he could visit whenever he remembered her.

”Tianchen, let me help, you should rest a bit,” Ling Yuxun said, sitting next to Ye Tianchen.

”It’s okay, you sleep. I’m sorry I couldn’t bring your grandfather back to Huaxia with us,” Ye Tianchen said with regret.

”Tianchen, you’ve done your best. Some things are determined by fate. I’m very grateful to you,” Ling Yuxun said emotionally.

”After we get back to Huaxia, you and your father will be busy. If you need anything, you can come to me...” Ye Tianchen said.

”Tianchen, where... where are you going?” Ling Yuxun quickly asked.

”Heh, there are always some things to deal with!” Ye Tianchen said with a faint smile.

When the plane landed in Huaxia Capital, the night was destined to be restless. The Number One Leader and several veteran leaders were waiting personally for Ye Tianchen, but they didn’t find him. Instead, they were met by Hei Mian and another Heavenly Gang War General.

”Where did Ye Tianchen go?” the Number One Leader asked Hei Mian.

”That kid said he needed to bury Alice first and would come by if he had time,” Hei Mian replied.

”Tell us everything about this mission, from start to finish!” the Number One Leader said, after a pause.

”Yes, sir!”

While Hei Mian was reporting the events of their mission in New York to the Number One Leader and several other senior leaders, Ye Tianchen had already arrived by car at a location not far from the villa where he lived. There was a small hill, a scenic area with beautiful mountains and clear waters, sparsely populated, and very suitable for rest and recovery. Ye Tianchen knew Alice had grown tired of the tumultuous life, so he brought her body here.

”Big Brother, let’s do it here. You can see the distant scenery,” Wuxue said softly, following behind Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen nodded. Ling Yuxun had already been sent home by his people. As for Bao Tianglong and others, they were naturally resting and healing. Everyone was badly injured in this mission; they needed time for a full recovery. Ye Tianchen was going to bury Alice and was only accompanied by Wuxue. Wuxue had suggested taking care of the burial to let Ye Tianchen rest, especially since he had also been seriously wounded, but Ye Tianchen refused. He said he would never let down anyone who had sacrificed for him... (To be continued.
