Chapter 180

Chapter 180: Chapter 179: "Do looks matter if you don’t check out the legs?Ah Hu could never have imagined that after he sent out more than three hundred thugs to trap Ye Tianchen in an alley, Ye Tianchen would actually fight his way out. This news was simply shocking. Had it not been for Lu Shengda arriving with armed special police to arrest him, he would never have believed it. He might have thought that his underling was spouting nonsense and would have shot him dead on the spot.

In fact, Ah Hu had no idea that as a master of the King-level Superpower Realm, Ye Tianchen, had he truly unleashed his Superpower, not to mention three hundred strong men armed with machetes, even a thousand might not have been able to stop him.

The thing that Ye Tianchen regretted the most was that he only thought about training his physical body, to allow it to endure greater realms of Superpower, but he neglected to consider Xiao Ya’s safety. He overestimated the strength of his current body. It wasn’t strong enough to fight without relying on Superpowers, which led to him feeling somewhat helpless and caused Xiao Ya to get hurt.

In the end, Ye Tianchen unleashed his True Demonic Nature and True Fire, his War Blood burning, and Vicious Aura overflowing. With Xiao Ya on his left shoulder and a butcher’s knife in his right hand, he forgot that he was a King-level Superpower Realm expert. Forgetting all the things that restrained him, he forcibly carved a bloody path with the knife in his hand.

One could imagine such a scene: a man, embodying the image of an absolute tough guy, covered in blood, carrying the woman he loved the most on his left shoulder, and a blood-dripping machete in his right hand. Striding through blood with every step, killing a person every ten steps—what a domineering presence, what a soul-shaking sight.

While Ye Tianchen was driving the police car belonging to the Chief of the Capital City, Lu Shengda, running through red lights in his rush to get Xiao Ya to the hospital, Ah Hu had already been surrounded by several dozen special police officers brought by Lu Shengda. Dozens of guns were aimed at Ah Hu. Lu Shengda couldn’t afford to be careless, knowing Ah Hu to be a ferocious and extremely violent outlaw, capable of anything at any time. He didn’t want any mishaps. Since they had taken action, they had to kill Ah Hu; otherwise, since Ah Hu was Xuanyuan Teng’s man, Lu Shengda couldn’t afford to provoke Xuanyuan Teng.

In terms of the planes of existence, Ah Hu was just one of the Capital City’s underground forces’ violent outlaws; however, the ferocious character of Ah Hu, who would ignore all kin when enraged, was not lost on the shrewd Lu Shengda. He wouldn’t carelessly provoke these people. What if they became ruthless and killed his entire family? Moreover, the name Xuanyuan Teng was what Lu Shengda was most apprehensive about—he genuinely couldn’t afford to offend him.

Xuanyuan Teng was the eldest young master of the Xuanyuan family, and the Xuanyuan family was one of China’s Hidden Families. Just like the unknown Ancient Martial Sects and Superpower Users, these Hidden Families often possessed significant influence, whether in the business, political, or military sectors, and even some had mastery over dark forces. They remained hidden for various reasons, and no one dared underestimate them. Even successive governments wouldn’t dare to provoke them lightly because these Hidden Families could possess overwhelming power. Any trouble with them could be more than the nation could handle.

The Xuanyuan family was indeed a Hidden Family, but exactly how powerful they were remained unknown. If the strength of these Hidden Families were so easily inferred, they would likely have already been controlled by the state. Therefore, the state and its government also had many matters and people over which they held no sway and had to resort to certain necessary means to deal with issues like employing Ye Tianchen.

"Slap!"

Ah Hu slammed his hand onto the table, stood up from the sofa, kicked the woman beside him away, and stared at Lu Shengda with clenched fists. He wanted to throw a punch and shatter Lu Shengda’s head.

At this moment, Ah Hu, filled with rage and surprise, couldn’t believe that he had sent all his elite forces to kill Ye Tianchen and had failed. Nor could he have imagined that Lu Shengda would dare to come and arrest him, seemingly intent on putting him to death. It seemed he had underestimated Ye Tianchen.

"What? You want to take me on?" Lu Shengda sneered as he looked at Ah Hu.

"Lu Shengda, think carefully. Ye Tianchen might enjoy a moment of triumph, but he’s definitely no match for Xuanyuan Teng, the great young master. Once Xuanyuan Teng returns to Capital City, it will be Ye Tianchen’s end!" Ah Hu watched Lu Shengda’s eyes and spoke in a grave tone.

Lu Shengda frowned slightly upon hearing Ah Hu’s words. He wasn’t mindless, nor had he failed to consider this issue, but his gut told him that siding with Ye Tianchen was the right choice, or else he would meet a grisly end. Perhaps compared to Xuanyuan Teng, Ye Tianchen, even after returning to Capital City and causing shock with his actions—especially causing the downfall of the Qin family and the Luo family, two of Capital City’s prominent families—in one night, still didn’t seem to compare to Xuanyuan Teng.

For as formidable as Ye Tianchen might be, he was still one person. The Ye family had long declined and couldn’t provide strong support for him. Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Teng had the Xuanyuan family, a Hidden Family, backing him. It seemed like even those with a bit of sense would stand on the side of the Xuanyuan family.

However, Lu Shengda was a rather peculiar man, and he had chosen to side with Ye Tianchen this time. The main reason was that Ye Tianchen left a striking impression on him, making it seem as if, even if he were alone without any power or backing, he was still not to be provoked, untouchable. This kind of grandeur was hard to find anywhere else in the world.

So, since Lu Shengda had come to arrest Ah Hu, he had chosen Ye Tianchen’s side, and he wouldn’t let Ah Hu off. If he didn’t kill Ah Hu, when Xuanyuan Teng returned, Lu Shengda’s days would be difficult. By killing Ah Hu and finding any excuse, even if Xuanyuan Teng knew it was he who killed Ah Hu, he probably wouldn’t have grounds to trouble Lu Shengda. Furthermore, all of Xuanyuan Teng’s anger would be directed at Ye Tianchen. That was Lu Shengda’s thinking, not lacking in cunning strategy.

"Whether Ye Tianchen’s time of death has come, I, Lu Shengda, do not know, but I do know that your time has come, Ah Hu..." Lu Shengda said coldly as he glanced at Ah Hu.

"You want to kill me?" Ah Hu seemed to understand something and still asked with a hint of surprise in his heart.

"You must die. If you don’t, and Xuanyuan Teng returns to Capital City and kills Ye Tianchen, then I will be in big trouble!" Lu Shengda said with a sinister smile.

"But if you kill me now, Xuanyuan Teng won’t let you off either. Even if I’m just a dog to Xuanyuan Teng, it’s a matter of his face, and you won’t get off easily!" Ah Hu said in a deep voice.

"Is that so? I didn’t expect Ah Hu, known for killing without batting an eye and being utterly cruel, to also be afraid of death. How laughable, how laughable..." Lu Shengda turned around, shaking his head as he spoke.

"Laugh at your mother..."

Suddenly, Ah Hu exploded into action, lunging with a chokehold aimed straight for Lu Shengda’s neck, knowing full well that Lu Shengda was not going to spare him. Tonight, his death was certain. Only by going all out and taking Lu Shengda as a hostage was there any chance of escape.

Bang!

Just as Ah Hu had leaped up, with his right hand claws striking towards Lu Shengda, a gunshot rang out. A bullet hit Ah Hu between the eyebrows, and he fell on the couch, his eyes wide open, staring dead at Lu Shengda.

In Lu Shengda’s right hand was a pistol; he’d been on guard for Ah Hu’s sudden attack from the start. A thug like Ah Hu had nothing he wouldn’t dare to do, especially when his life was threatened, even daring to kill his own father. Lu Shengda would not be so naive as to think Ah Hu wouldn’t dare to make a move on him.

"Take the body back and say he was shot dead by a sniper during an arrest!" Lu Shengda coldly ordered the special police behind him.

"Yes, Director Lu!" the special police standing behind Lu Shengda replied.

Lu Shengda turned and left the room; the rest would naturally be handled by his subordinates. All he was thinking about was whether helping Ye Tianchen to kill Ah Hu would ease the tension between them. And when Xuanyuan Teng returned to Capital City, would Ye Tianchen die?

That very night, Ye Tianchen took Xiao Ya to Kyoto Hospital. Thankfully, Xiao Ya only suffered superficial injuries and was not in serious danger; otherwise, Ye Tianchen truly would not have been able to forgive himself. He didn’t go home all night, staying by Xiao Ya’s hospital bed, watching her still somewhat pale face as she gradually fell asleep. Ye Tianchen suddenly felt that his feelings for Xiao Ya might not be as simple as because she looked a lot like the woman he had deeply loved in the apocalypse. Of course, he couldn’t deny that this was a factor, it could only be said that Ye Tianchen’s feelings had changed, becoming more straightforward—he just wanted to protect this innocent and beautiful girl.

At that time, in the city center of a certain city, within a luxurious entertainment venue, a man wearing a silver suit was standing. He was about one meter eighty tall and very thin, so thin that his complexion looked somewhat pale. The only surprising thing was that his eyes were filled with a killing intent, extremely sharp, giving off a bone-chilling sensation when making eye contact with him.

The man in the silver suit had eighteen identical beautiful women standing in front of him, all wearing sexy strap stockings, exposing their shoulders and backs, with beautiful hips and legs, and attractive busts. Behind him stood eight men in black suits, all with their hands behind their backs, arrayed neatly behind the man in the silver suit, standing like eight generals, who would not make a move without their master’s command.

"All turn around, I want to see who has the most beautiful buttocks..." the man in the silver suit drew on his cigar, crossing his legs and speaking with a slight smirk on his face filled with a bit of wicked charm.
