Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1733: Chapter 1732: [Qingxue and Bai Yi]

The old man suppressed under the abyss hill was originally a member of the White Rabbit Clan. Following his memories, Ye Tianchen’s Divine Thought clearly saw the events of that year. The White Rabbit Clan suffered collusion between the Fox Clan and the Wolf Clan, resulting in all members being killed. Only the young elder escaped death under his mother’s protection!

What followed was endless days and nights of fleeing. The young elder was still small, with a very low cultivation realm, definitely no match for the many experts of the Fox Clan and the Wolf Clan. He could only keep hiding and escaping. The escape lasted several years. During this time, the Fox Clan and the Wolf Clan never stopped pursuing and killing. Several times, the young elder was almost killed, but perhaps his luck was too good, and he survived each calamity!

It was at this moment Ye Tianchen understood that within the Martial Arts World, it was far more brutal and bloody than the Mortal World. In the Mortal World, people might never escape the Magic Law of birth, aging, illness, and death, generally living no more than a hundred years. But what about the martial artists, who in the eyes of mortal humans seemed omnipotent? Are they really that carefree and at ease? Wrong. Very few martial artists truly live carefreely. At any time, regardless of age, place, or what one is doing, one might be annihilated in an instant!

”I don’t know how long these days of escape lasted. I grew up day by day, reaching my teenage years!” The old man’s voice echoed in Ye Tianchen’s mind.

”The cultivation methods of the Ancient Alien Race and the Demon Clan differ from us in the Human Clan, and their age stages differ as well. The teenage years are equivalent to the Human Clan’s age of a dozen years!” Ye Tianchen spoke.

”That’s right, keep watching. This is also a form of recollection for me, although I desperately wish not to remember it, I can’t erase it.” The old man sighed as he spoke.

Ye Tianchen didn’t speak but continued following the old man’s memories with his Divine Thought to watch. The images changed many times. During this period, it was all images from the young elder’s escape, with nothing particularly special. But as another image appeared, Ye Tianchen grew tense because the young elder finally was found by a Wolf Clan expert, who immediately intended to kill without the slightest mercy!

Bang!

The young elder was sent flying. Despite years of painstaking cultivation, ultimately, time was too short, and he dared not linger in one place long. Such a cultivation environment was highly unfavorable, and the young elder’s cultivation realm was still low!

”Hand over your clan’s Cultivation Treasure, and you’ll die a quick death!” The Wolf Clan expert looked at the young elder as if viewing a dead man.

”Your Wolf Clan and Fox Clan have pushed us too far!” The young elder said through clenched teeth.

”Hmph, the White Rabbit Clan has always been weak. I’m surprised they haven’t been exterminated until now, but today it’s inevitable. You’re the last of the White Rabbit Clan!” The Wolf Clan expert coldly snorted.

”I won’t sit and wait for death!” The young elder’s gaze was resolute.

”Hahahaha, overestimating yourself. Hand over your clan’s Cultivation Treasure, and I’ll ensure a swift death for you. If not, you won’t be able to live or die easily!” The Wolf Clan expert laughed.

”Dream on!” The young elder was full of backbone, not one to easily surrender, immediately charging towards the Wolf Clan expert.

Bang!

The gap in strength was indeed enormous. This Wolf Clan expert’s cultivation realm was profound, and his power was strong. The teenage elder couldn’t be his match, only ending up being sent flying again.

Puff!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out. The young elder was severely injured. He simply couldn’t be a match for this Wolf Clan expert. At the time, the young elder’s cultivation time was too short, his cultivation realm too low, which was why he’d been hiding and fleeing for years!

The Wolf Clan expert looked with disdain at the young elder and said with a cold, malicious smile, ”I shot down your mother years ago, letting you escape. Today, you’ll die at my hands!”

”You... it was you who killed my mother back then?” The young elder’s eyes were like blood, fists clenched tightly, suppressing uncontrollable anger.

”That’s right, it’s a pity I didn’t kill you with one arrow back then, leading to today’s troubles. But there’s no need for regret, because you will still die—just like your mother—by my hands!” The strong man of the Wolf Clan spoke coldly.

”I must kill you, to avenge my mother, to avenge the members of my clan who fell to your Wolf Clan’s hands!” The young elder gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, forcing himself to speak through his painful injuries.

”How ridiculous. This is the biggest joke I’ve ever heard, coming from someone who’s about to die. Isn’t it superfluous to say such things?” The Wolf Clan warrior clearly did not take the young elder seriously at all.

”I will kill you, I must kill you...” The young elder, having lost all reason, once again charged at the Wolf Clan strong man.

The Wolf Clan warrior merely curled his lips into a disdainful sneer. He took out a bow from his back, nocked an arrow, and said with great arrogance: ”My name is Langtian. You can remember my name, though it makes no difference now, for you are destined for oblivion!”

Swish!

An arrow shot straight at the young elder, aiming right for his head with tremendous power, causing even the void to tremble. Were it to hit, a whole mountain range would be enough to shatter. This member of the Wolf Clan, who had pursued the young elder, was indeed formidable, possessing extraordinary strength!

Thud!

Blood splattered into the air. The young elder was shocked, for he didn’t feel death coming. Instead, he looked up to see a girl, dressed in white like a fairy, standing in front of him, allowing him to escape certain doom. This fairy-like girl’s left sleeve was torn by the arrow, with blood splattering out!

”You...” The young elder was stunned, not knowing who had suddenly appeared to save him.

But at that moment, the girl grasped the young elder’s hand, fired a rune at the Wolf Clan warrior named Langtian, and turned to flee with the young elder!

”You won’t escape, sooner or later you will die by my hands!” roared Langtian, the Wolf Clan strong man, gritting his teeth. He hadn’t expected such an event to occur.

The young elder was rescued by this fairy-like girl, and they arrived at a secluded paradise-like Peach Blossom Forest. This was a desolate place, and the fairy-like girl named Qingxue wasn’t severely injured. She recovered after a few days. She had happened upon the young elder being pursued, and intervened at the crucial moment to save him.

Grateful to Qingxue who saved him, the young elder began living in the Peach Blossom Forest. They got along very well, being of similar age—a talented young man and a beautiful young woman—and over time they inevitably developed feelings. The young elder, who had never revealed his name to anyone, told Qingxue that his name was ”Bai Yi.”

Bai Yi, the young elder, would never forget this name, chosen for him by his father and mother at his birth, to teach him to be tenacious and live strongly.

In the ensuing days, the young elder experienced the happiest of times, spending every day with Qingxue, living a joyful life. Of course, during this period, the young elder never slackened in his cultivation. He trained relentlessly, even exhausting himself unto the brink of death, yet he persisted. He understood that he carried too many burdens. Every time he recalled them, he couldn’t stop, as if his heart were bleeding. He thought of the sprawling landscape littered with the corpses of the White Rabbit Clan members, slaughtered wholesale, and remembered how his parents died trying to protect his escape from the Fox and Wolf Clans. Bai Yi couldn’t sleep, training day and night in madness for the justice owed to his White Rabbit Clan!

In this world, Bai Yi thought he had no family left, but since meeting Qingxue, he realized he wasn’t alone. Qingxue treated him so well, not only saving his life but helping him cultivate and grow together!

Yet, on a certain night, it all changed—calmness, joy, happiness, and peaceful days of cultivation shattered. Bai Yi, unable to sleep, rose to practice in the Peach Blossom Forest. Unknowingly, five to six years had passed. His cultivation had reached the Early-stage Martial Saint, and these years of effort were not in vain. He was a tenacious cultivator, with undeniable talent, who had spent the past surviving rather than training extensively. Having now leapt to the Early-stage Martial Saint realm, Bai Yi believed it was time to venture out, to seek old enemies from the Fox and Wolf Clans, though he couldn’t bring himself to tell Qingxue. He knew that once he left, such days might never return!

”Hmm?”

Upon arriving at the Peach Blossom Forest, before he could begin cultivating, Bai Yi sensed something unusual. Ahead, there seemed to be two different forces fluctuating, one of which he recognized unmistakably as Qingxue’s. Qingxue, so late at night, hadn’t rested and appeared to be conversing with another force. This puzzled Bai Yi. In all these years, no one else had appeared here, right? Out of curiosity, Bai Yi concealed all his aura and quietly flew over... (To be continued.
