Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 844: Chapter 843 [Is Something Big About to Happen?]

Ye Tianchen knew about Li San’s situation. Li San lost his father at a young age and lived with his mother, depending on each other for survival. To ensure that Li San grew up without being bullied, his mother refused to remarry for more than a decade. For their livelihood, Li San’s mother worked at a nightclub, but she was raped by the Double Saber King, the leader of the Four Seas Gang, who was also one of the top three masters of China’s Black Force. He was incredibly formidable.

At that time, Li San was just twenty years old. Upon hearing the news, he went mad and stormed into the Four Seas Gang. After taking down hundreds of people singlehandedly, he engaged in a life-and-death battle with the Double Saber King. Li San had only just practiced the Monument Pushing Hand to the Small Success level and was not a match for the Double Saber King. This person was extremely formidable, ranking third among the masters of China’s Black Force. Clearly, he was no ordinary person.

Li San was defeated but managed to escape the trap set by the Double Saber King, evading his pursuit. Li San considered ending his own life, as his mother’s rape and murder were too cruel for him to bear, causing unbearable pain. Yet, the mocking smile of the Double Saber King made it impossible for him to swallow his anger, so he survived, determined to avenge his mother.

For more than a decade, Li San served as the manager for the Liu family but never gave up searching for the Double Saber King’s whereabouts. Unfortunately, after that battle, the Double Saber King disappeared. Although the ”Four Seas Gang” he established still existed, it had long changed leadership. No one knew where the Double Saber King had gone, and he had been missing for decades.

”The Double Saber King has been missing for over ten years; how could he suddenly appear?” Ye Tianchen asked with a frown.

”I don’t know, but there’s another thing that’s very strange...” Wuxue began to say.

”What thing?” Ye Tianchen asked.

”Cang Lang and Yan Long, the two War Kings of China, have both submitted their resignations!” Wuxue said, also very puzzled.

”They submitted their resignations together?”

Ye Tianchen was indeed a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected that during his absence from the Capital City, such things had happened. The Double Saber King, who had disappeared for many years and had once raped and killed Li San’s mother, suddenly reappeared. At the same time, Cang Lang and Yan Long, two War Kings of China, resigned. What was going on? Had something significant occurred?

It should be known that Cang Lang and Yan Long were two of China’s three War Kings, highly valued by national leaders. They commanded two very powerful single-soldier units in China, having made significant contributions both domestically and internationally. In terms of age, Cang Lang and Yan Long were only in their forties, far from the retirement age. Why would they resign? More importantly, the fact that both resigned simultaneously suggested something must have happened, and it wasn’t a simple matter. This prompted Ye Tianchen to get to the bottom of it.

”Yes, big brother, less than a week after Li San left to hunt down the Double Saber King, I heard that Cang Lang and Yan Long both submitted their resignations. They no longer serve as leaders of the Sky Dragon Team and the Falcon Unit, and it seems that the higher-ups have approved their resignations!” Wuxue nodded and said.

”What are the old man and Elder Yang thinking? Cang Lang and Yan Long are invaluable talents. Even though they are a bit uglier than me, Ye Tianchen, it’s not a reason to fire them, right?” Ye Tianchen joked with a smile.

”That I do not know!” Wuxue shook his head and said.

”What are Cang Lang and Yan Long doing now after their resignations?” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and asked.

”I don’t know. It seems they haven’t left the Capital City and are following their regular routines daily!” Wuxue was startled and said.

”That’s odd. Why would these two guys suddenly resign? And just live their lives in an orderly fashion after resigning? That’s impossible. These two are not the type to stay idle; something must be up, and it’s not a small matter,” Ye Tianchen thought to himself.

”Big brother, what do we do next?” Wuxue asked.

”The issue with the Beichen Single Blade Stream has been resolved, and the Sword Emperor is dead. That means one less enemy for us!” Ye Tianchen said.

”What, the Sword Emperor is dead? No wonder I’ve been saying for so long that given the temperament of those little brats, they wouldn’t fail to seek revenge. It turns out even the Sword Emperor has kicked the bucket, haha!” Wang Jie laughed and said.

”We have two things left to do now. First, find the whereabouts of the Young Master of Dragon Soaring as soon as possible. I want to face him in battle and eliminate this major threat. Second, find Li San and help him locate the Double Saber King so he can personally take revenge on his enemy. A brother’s enemy is our enemy.” Ye Tianchen contemplated and said.

The Young Master of Dragon Soaring, who had clashed with Ye Tianchen multiple times and nearly killed him each time, was considered by Ye Tianchen as one of his most formidable enemies, even now. However, the disappearance of the Young Master of Dragon Soaring left Ye Tianchen puzzled and worried. This was a profound person, and one day Ye Tianchen would have to face him in a life-and-death confrontation. If the Young Master of Dragon Soaring wasn’t dealt with, Ye Tianchen could never rest easy while wandering the Ancient Martial World. If one day the Young Master attacked his family or the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, it would be disastrous!

Ye Tianchen was definitely not afraid, nor timid. The problem was that he couldn’t find the whereabouts of a strong enemy. Wanting to fight, wanting to risk his life, was impossible. This was concerning, as the saying goes, a clear spear is easy to dodge, but an arrow in the dark is hard to defend against.

”Yes, big brother, I’ll get right on it!” Wuxue nodded and said.

”By the way, everyone meet at the training ground tomorrow night. I have something to show you!” Ye Tianchen looked at the members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings and said.

”Yes!”

The next day, early in the morning, Ye Tianchen surprisingly got up at eight. He thought he was up very early, yet despite feeling busy with many things to do, he knew there was someone even busier than him. He was going to meet one of the busiest people in the world, but to his surprise, as soon as he got up, Qi Ruxue walked out from the kitchen.

”Going out? Why not have breakfast first?” Qi Ruxue said gently.

”No, I’ve got important things to do. I’ll probably come back for lunch.” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Really? Then go, I’ll just eat this bowl of fried sauce noodles myself!” Qi Ruxue pretended to be a little disappointed as she carried out a bowl of delicious smelling noodles.

In the next moment, Ye Tianchen was already sitting properly at the dining table, waiting for Qi Ruxue to bring the noodles to him. Qi Ruxue couldn’t help but laugh as she looked at Ye Tianchen, then placed the noodles in front of him and said, ”Who would have thought that the fearless Ye Tianchen couldn’t resist the allure of food?”

”Isn’t this exactly what you wanted? As the saying goes, to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach. Now that you have that, cook delicious food for ten years, and I might just marry you!” Ye Tianchen said teasingly with a smile.

”Dream on!” Qi Ruxue pouted playfully at Ye Tianchen and happily walked back into the kitchen.

Ye Tianchen happily finished a bowl of fried sauce noodles. One had to admit, Qi Ruxue’s cooking skills were really good, she was a true gourmet chef, able to host a banquet and cook in the kitchen. It’s no wonder his mom liked her so much. Unfortunately, Ye Tianchen didn’t have extra time now to think about romantic affairs. He felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, with a lot of things to solve and explore. As a man born to stand between heaven and earth, how could he not make a mark and achieve something?

Driving out, Ye Tianchen drove a Veyron sports car, speeding like the wind toward a location. The sudden appearance of the Double Saber King, Cang Lang, and Yan Long, both War Kings suddenly resigning, could there be some kind of connection between these? Or was there a major conspiracy or something huge about to happen? Ye Tianchen had to get to the bottom of it since it concerned the safety of his brother Li San.

When Ye Tianchen reached the location, Hei Mian was already waiting there, his teeth itching with anger, wanting to bite him.

”How long has it been since you bit someone? Are you baring your teeth as soon as you see someone?” Ye Tianchen gave Hei Mian a sideways glance and asked.

”You... You look at the time! You said to be here at eight, and now it’s ten! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting here? It’s one thing to keep me waiting, but the point is, you kept two top leaders waiting for you. Isn’t that too much?” Hei Mian shouted in exasperation.

”Two leaders are waiting for me?” Ye Tianchen asked, surprised.

”That’s right, waiting from eight until ten. Your face must be huge; you’re the only person in the world who can keep two leaders waiting for two whole hours, impressive!” Hei Mian said through gritted teeth.

”No way, why does this feel like another conspiracy? Those two old men waited for me for two hours? I know I’m not that important, something must be wrong. I won’t see them, bye!” Ye Tianchen said, ready to bolt off as he smelled the scent of a scheme.

However, just as Ye Tianchen turned around, Hei Mian blocked his path and said, ”Are you really going to leave? The patience of the two leaders has its limits, look up!”

Ye Tianchen looked up at the top of the building and saw Head Chief and Elder Yang, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, smiling and waving at him, leaving Ye Tianchen frustrated. He wasn’t afraid of the two old men losing their temper, but they have been pretty good to him, his dad, and his family, so how could he just ignore them? (To be continued.
