Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Chapter 136 Cang Lang had not expected Gudu Ang to be present here and couldn’t help frowning. It seemed that Ye Tianchen was already being monitored by multiple forces, which, for now, had held back from making a move.

Firstly, Ye Tianchen was very strong; provoking him might not only result in failing to capture him but could also bring serious trouble because Ye Tianchen was the sort of person who couldn’t be oppressed using laws or influence. If truly angered, he would throw punches regardless of the law or power.

Secondly, of course, it was because Yang Yi had intervened in this matter, which made other forces think twice and restrained themselves from acting rashly considering Yang Yi’s position.

Seeing Gudu Ang approaching him, Cang Lang was momentarily stunned; he knew that Gudu Ang had always wanted to find an opportunity to fight him again to decide a true winner. Initially, when Gudu Ang had worked under him, he sensed a dissatisfaction toward himself, thinking he could overcome Cang Lang. Wondering why he couldn’t earn the title of one of Huaxia’s top three War Kings, he grew increasingly bitter and resentful over time, leading to estrangement and several near confrontations aimed at defeating Cang Lang.

"Is a mere title really worth such obsession?" Cang Lang looked at Gudu Ang and asked.

"If one does not seek fame or gain, what meaning is there in living?" Gudu Ang retorted.

"There are many things to do, like striving for the nation’s glory and benefits, not just personal fame and gain," Cang Lang earnestly replied to Gudu Ang.

"Hahaha, what a joke — so noble. First, let me have your title of Huaxia War King..."

Gudu Ang was completely immersed in his own world, desiring nothing but the title of the Huaxia War King. To him, nothing else was significant, not even his original intent to practice martial arts or the teachings of his mentor from Ancient Martial Sect, who had once told him:

There are only two purposes in learning martial arts: to strengthen the body and to protect the family and country!

Hence, Gudu Ang initially joined the military and quickly became Cang Lang’s top general. As his strength and skill grew, so did his dissatisfaction — from slight to substantial. Ultimately, his desires inflated, leading him to believe there was no need to be subordinate to Cang Lang when he could lead elsewhere. He aimed to defeat Cang Lang and replace him as one of the top three War Kings of Huaxia.

At that time, as Gudu Ang’s superior, Cang Lang also felt his growing dissatisfaction and arrogance. It’s hard for a person to stay low-key, but once arrogance takes over, it can become boundless and uncontrollable.

Facing repeated provocations from Gudu Ang, Cang Lang had always responded with gentle persuasion. Honestly, Cang Lang had high expectations for Gudu Ang because he truly was powerful enough to be a great general. Unfortunately, Gudu Ang wouldn’t take advice, and ultimately Cang Lang had to fight him.

As for the outcome of this fight, nobody knew because Cang Lang and Gudu Ang had battled in a deserted place. Many saw Cang Lang return with injuries, though not severe, enough to draw blood, while Gudu Ang never returned and was soon transferred away from Cang Lang’s side.

Some curious folks went to the site of Cang Lang and Gudu Ang’s battle, only to be utterly shocked. The location, a weed-covered area beyond the outskirts of the Capital City, bore countless depressions from their fists. It was more astonishing than any martial arts scene in movies or television!

It was hard to imagine just how extraordinary the fight between Cang Lang and Gudu Ang had been, which also showed how genuinely formidable Gudu Ang was.

Whoosh!

Gudu Ang threw a punch at Cang Lang, who frowned, shifted his body, and dodged the punch. But as Gudu Ang’s right fist missed, he kicked towards Cang Lang’s chest. Cang Lang, unable to dodge, could only strike Gudu Ang’s foot with his palm, pushing both of them back some distance.

"Hmph, Cang Lang, it seems your skills haven’t improved over the years," Gudu Ang scoffed as he spoke.

"I don’t want to fight today — there are more important matters to attend to!" Cang Lang said in a deep voice.

"Are you still planning to rescue Ye Tianchen? He’s courting death by intruding into the Luo family; he won’t be coming out alive!" Gudu Ang said with a sneer.

"You’re wrong. I’m not worried that Ye Tianchen will die. I’m worried that after the three members of the Luo family are killed, it will stir chaos in the Capital City to an uncontrollable extent," Cang Lang expressed his concern.

"I think you’re overestimating Ye Tianchen too much. Although I’ve never truly fought him, I can gauge his strength roughly. He should be on a par with you and me, and sixty percent likely not stronger than us. Therefore, his going to the Luo Family’s Mansion is certain death, you must understand, the Luo Family’s Mansion is not the same as the Qin family’s..."

In Gudu Ang’s view, Ye Tianchen daring to storm into the Luo Family’s Mansion to kill Luo Songcheng and two others was simply suicidal, even more arrogant than him. The reason Gudu Ang considered Ye Tianchen as good as dead was not because the Luo family’s influence was greater than the Qin family’s, but because the Luo family’s defenses were much tighter. One could say it was an extremely formidable lineup; thus, every guard at the Luo Family’s Mansion was armed, totaling over fifty individuals, all loyal to Luo Songcheng. With such a force, who would dare to intrude?

"Then let’s wait and see!"

Cang Lang didn’t want to say more, nor did he pursue Ye Tianchen any further, because Ye Tianchen had already reached the gates of the Luo Family’s Mansion. If he appeared at this moment and Luo Songcheng, Luo Guanghui, and Luo Qi were still killed, Cang Lang feared that he really couldn’t dissociate himself from it, given his affiliation with Yang Yi, which would cause a bad impact.

"Fine, I’ll take this kid’s corpse when the time comes. Last time you took him away, this time I’ll handle it, it’s only right to give them an explanation over there!" Gudu Ang said coldly.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen had already reached the entrance of the Luo Family’s Mansion. He didn’t try to sneak in quietly but entered openly. His thought was simple; he was just there to kill three dogs—why sneak around?

"Stop, who are you? This is the Luo Family’s Mansion, not a place where outsiders can enter..." an armed bodyguard said arrogantly to Ye Tianchen.

"That old dog Luo Songcheng is pretty tyrannical. I didn’t expect his men to be the same. It seems they truly deserve to die!" Ye Tianchen said indifferently.

"What did you say? Leave now, or don’t blame me for shooting!" The bodyguard, upon hearing Ye Tianchen insult Luo Songcheng, immediately aimed his weapon at him, ready to pull the trigger.

"All of you have already become Luo Songcheng’s dogs, so, it’s needless to show you any mercy!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Looking for death!"

The bodyguard wasn’t joking; he really aimed the weapon at Ye Tianchen and his right index finger pulled the trigger—the epitome of abusing power. Obviously, these bodyguards, having followed Luo Songcheng for a long time, had also become very arrogant, even daring to kill at will.

Bang!

Once Ye Tianchen took action, there was no stopping him. He continued until he had finished what needed to be done. He kicked the bodyguard who had attacked him first, launching him into the air. Simultaneously, as another bodyguard was just about to make a move, Ye Tianchen punched him in the chest, knocking him unconscious.

Taking steps into the Luo Family’s Mansion, the moment he entered, Ye Tianchen’s Superpower Isolation Net unfolded. Tonight, there would be a great slaughter. The three Luo family members, despicable and shameless, had enraged Ye Tianchen. He wouldn’t show any mercy but genuinely commence a bloodbath.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

As Ye Tianchen barged into the Luo Family’s Mansion, dozens of armed individuals opened fire on him. Unfortunately for them, all those bullets fell to the ground, as Ye Tianchen had enveloped his entire body with a Superpower Light Shield. Despite the substantial consumption of his superpower, he didn’t care in the slightest. The three Luo family members—father and sons—were destined to die, not even the Heavenly King could stop him.

"I am here to kill the three of you, Luo Songcheng and his sons. I advise the rest of you to stop being their dogs or I won’t be polite!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile to the group of bodyguards surrounding him.

"Dare to break into the Luo Family’s Mansion, kill him!"

The bodyguards ran out of bullets; they couldn’t harm Ye Tianchen at all. Dozens of bodyguards charged at Ye Tianchen, but unfortunately, with one punch, he knocked down several, and with a kick, he sent a group flying. In less than three minutes, dozens of bodyguards were down on the ground, wailing endlessly.

Glancing at the bodyguards lying around, Ye Tianchen still didn’t kill them. Even though he was filled with killing intent, he truly couldn’t bring himself to utterly wipe out these unrelated people. Maybe it was because there had been too much killing during the apocalypse, and he had grown somewhat weary of it.

"Luo Songcheng, Luo Guanghui, Luo Qi, I, Ye Tianchen, am here to kill you three dogs, come out now!" Ye Tianchen stood at the center of the Luo Family’s Mansion and shouted loudly. (To be continued.
