Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Chapter 178: This time, Xuanyuan Teng sought to avenge his younger brother as well as to ensure his own majesty as one of the formidable "Three Dragons". Despite being far away, he immediately issued an order to his trusted lieutenant, Ah Hu, who took the matter very seriously. Knowing Xuanyuan Teng’s ruthless nature and how much he valued his own face after his brother Xuanyuan Yu had been beaten, he wanted Ye Tianchen dead, and Ah Hu was determined to make it happen.

Ah Hu was strategic and resolute, and right off the bat, he commanded more than three hundred vicious men, each armed with cleavers, intent on trapping Ye Tianchen in the alley and hacking him to death. Virtually deploying all of his elite forces, Ah Hu was determined to have Ye Tianchen killed.

The gruesome battle turned the entire alley into a veritable hell on earth. Ye Tianchen, blazing with True Fire like the Death God himself, carried his woman on his left shoulder while his right hand, wielding a knife, reaped the lives of Ah Hu’s assassins with the ease of slicing through vegetables.

Ye Tianchen ferociously fought his way out, drenched in blood as he carried Xiao Ya, without using any Superpower. Exhausting himself in body tempering, he regretted not using his Superpower. If he had, the group of more than three hundred blade-wielding men would have been nothing against a King-level Superpower master, let alone thousands. Just as Ye Tianchen stepped out of the alley carrying Xiao Ya, they were confronted by hundreds of heavily armed SWAT officers, pointing their submachine guns at them.

"Yaer, Yaer, how are you?" Ye Tianchen ignored the SWAT team aiming their weapons at him and loudly called out to the unconscious Xiao Ya in his arms.

"Yaer, Yaer, we’ve made it out, we’re safe now... I’m sorry!" Ye Tianchen said emotionally.

The onlookers, including the battle-hardened SWAT team, all gasped in shock at the sight of Ye Tianchen covered in blood, his face a mix of sweat and blood, or perhaps a blend of both dripping down, presenting a chilling sight. It was uncertain how many wounds he had sustained; in his frenzy, he had forgotten his own Superpower. He hadn’t used his Superpower Light Shield to block anything but had relied solely on his formidable body to fight his way out, which was truly soul-shaking. At this moment, he called out passionately to the girl in his arms.

"Tianchen, Tianchen... are you alright?" Xiao Ya weakly opened her eyes and saw Ye Tianchen’s stern face, a hint of a smile on her beautiful visage.

"I’m fine, I’m fine, we’ve made it out, I’ve led us out. Hold on for a bit longer, I’ll take you to the hospital right away," Ye Tianchen said, deeply relieved to see Xiao Ya awake.

"As long as you’re alright..." Xiao Ya said before she fainted again, happy to see Ye Tianchen was safe. She felt deeply indebted to Ye Tianchen for being so good to her.

"Yaer, Yaer..."

Ye Tianchen shouted Xiao Ya’s name, aware that she was extremely weak and not knowing where that blade had struck her. Covered in blood, he picked Xiao Ya up and prepared to leave but was blocked by several SWAT officers.

"Please come back. After an incident like this, we can’t let you leave," a SWAT officer said sternly.

"Get out of the way! If anything happens to my friend, none of you, including Lu Shengda, can afford the consequences," Ye Tianchen roared.

The SWAT officer was startled, then said, "We, we have already called for an ambulance. I believe it will be here soon."

"Get out!"

Ye Tianchen, his mind in turmoil, feared for Xiao Ya’s safety, worried that something might happen to the beautiful girl. It was only now that Ye Tianchen truly understood that he might have developed real feelings for this pure and lovely girl, not just because she resembled the woman he had loved in the apocalypse.

"Please don’t act rashly, or we will shoot you," the SWAT officer warned, aiming his submachine gun.

Ye Tianchen stopped talking and started walking forward while carrying Xiao Ya. The surrounding SWAT officers were taken aback, retreating continuously in fear. They dared not shoot or let Ye Tianchen leave, as they had received civilian reports of a massive massacre with hundreds wounded or dead, presuming it was a gang showdown.

Screech! The sudden sound of a police car braking sharply came to a halt next to Ye Tianchen. Capital City Director Lu Shengda hastily got out of the car and when he saw Ye Tianchen, blood-soaked, he stiffened, trembling with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and approached apprehensively.

After receiving the emergency call, Lu Shengda thought it was a gang clash over territory, but he never expected to find Ye Tianchen at the scene. Seeing Ye Tianchen’s blood and wounds, Lu Shengda gasped in shock.

"Young Master Ye, are you, are you alright?" Lu Shengda asked with a trembling voice. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Hmph, not dead yet. Director Lu, you sure got here quickly," Ye Tianchen replied, glancing at Lu Shengda with a cold snort.

"Ah, I, I sent people as soon as I received the call," Lu Shengda said, startled and quickly responding.

Lu Shengda knew who Ye Tianchen was and his background. Perhaps the Ye family had long declined, and Ye Tianchen was just one man, but considering all that Ye Tianchen had done since returning to the city, it would be easy for him to crush Lu Shengda, who certainly couldn’t afford to offend him.

"I can leave now, right?" Ye Tianchen didn’t wish to talk more; rescuing Xiao Ya was the priority, and from the time he had started fighting Ah Hu’s men until now, it was only about half an hour. The police response time wasn’t too slow.

"Ah, of course, of course. Let me arrange an escort for you," Lu Shengda quickly said with a smile.

"No need, I’ll just borrow your police car." Ye Tianchen said indifferently.

Lu Shengda nodded and yelled at a junior officer beside him, "What the hell are you staring for? Get the car over here now!"

Ye Tianchen placed Xiao Ya carefully on the passenger seat, then sat in the driver’s side. Just as he was about to drive away, he seemed to remember something and waved Lu Shengda over, who hurried to him.

"Young Master Ye, do you have any instructions?" Lu Shengda asked with a smile.

"Take some people and deal with Ah Hu. I’ll make sure Xuanyuan Teng gets what he deserves," Ye Tianchen said lightly.

While Lu Shengda was still in a daze, Ye Tianchen quickly drove away. Lu Shengda wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling glad that the Young Master wasn’t really angry. Otherwise, losing his hat would be the least of his problems—it might even cost him his life.

"Director Lu, are... are we just letting him go like this?" A junior officer asked in shock.

"Shut up if you have nothing important to say, and get back to work." Lu Shengda turned and glared fiercely at the indiscreet junior officer.

"Director Lu, this... this time at least a hundred people were killed or injured, that kid..." The junior officer stammered, his head sweating profusely.

"What?"

Lu Shengda was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Ye Tianchen’s departing car. He never imagined Ye Tianchen would be so formidable. Ah Hu, under Xuanyuan Teng, had sent over three hundred men, each armed with machetes, yet Ye Tianchen had fought his way through, leaving a bloody path—an incredibly astonishing feat that was hard to fathom.

"Notify everyone, tonight’s incident is to be kept confidential. Any leaks will be dealt with as a violation of discipline," Lu Shengda said seriously, coming back to his senses.

"Yes!"

At that moment, the SWAT team and some detectives had entered the alley. When everyone saw the scene inside, they were all dumbfounded. Even those who had handled many cases and were accustomed to gruesome scenes were stunned. Limbs were scattered everywhere, and the blood flowed like rivers—it wasn’t an exaggeration. None of the bodies were intact, and several severed heads lay by the side, a sight that turned one’s stomach.

"Ugh..." A few young officers couldn’t take it and started vomiting against the wall.

"What are you standing around for, call, call 120..." an older officer snapped out of it and yelled loudly.

At that very moment, in a secluded villa in Capital City, Ah Hu was leisurely smoking a cigar with a smug grin. A woman was kneeling between his legs, continuously licking his member, occasionally deep-throated by Ah Hu.

"Hmph, Ye Tianchen, I see how you, you little bastard, survive this time," Ah Hu said viciously.

In Ah Hu’s view, it was a done deal for Ye Tianchen this time. No matter how fierce he was, he couldn’t possibly stand against the squad of over three hundred men with machetes—he’d be chopped to minced meat for sure.

With a bang, the room’s door was pushed open. One of Ah Hu’s henchmen scrambled inside. Ah Hu smacked him down to the floor and cursed, "What’s the rush? Speak."

"Big, big, big brother, Hei Wa and the others failed. Ye Tianchen has killed over a hundred of them, and now the police have us surrounded," the underling said, terrified and wetting himself in fear.

"What? How can it be? That bastard Ye Tianchen..." Ah Hu stood up abruptly, then sat back down heavily on the sofa, stunned like a wooden chicken. The shock was too much for him to handle.

Soon enough, Lu Shengda personally led several dozen special forces officers and surrounded the villa where Ah Hu was. When Lu Shengda stood before Ah Hu, he finally began to sober up.

"Lu Shengda, what the hell do you think you’re doing?" Ah Hu demanded, his angry eyes locked onto Lu Shengda’s.

"What am I doing? I’m informing you that you, Ah Hu, are accused of violating the law and endangering society, and I am officially arresting you," Lu Shengda said with a cold laugh.

"You dare? Lu Shengda, do you know who I am? Xuanyuan Teng backs me, you can’t afford to mess with him," Ah Hu glared at Lu Shengda and said fiercely.

"Hmph, indeed I can’t afford to offend Xuanyuan Teng, but I can afford to offend Ye Tianchen. I’m just doing my job. As for the showdown between Xuanyuan Teng and Ye Tianchen, who wins and who loses, it doesn’t really affect me..." Lu Shengda huffed disdainfully.(To be continued.
