Chapter 320

Chapter 320: Chapter 319 At this moment, Ye Tianchen was enraged, a strong desire to kill rising within him. He was not one to anger easily, but this time, he had made up his mind to ensure that every last one of these Japanese little devils would remain here. They were detestable and audacious beyond measure, having killed so many special forces, even Li Wang had died, and he was the captain of the special forces on the border, a master with Martial Venerate Realm strength.

In the deep canyon of the Black Mist Forest, there were some scattered tents. Every few meters, there stood an assassin clad in black. None of these people were weaklings; it seemed that the little devils from Japan had gone to great lengths to disrupt the border of the Black Mist Forest and accomplish their mission. There was not only Dao Gejian, a super-class master, but also an elder of the Beitian Kendo Sect who was even more formidable than Dao Gejian. This made Ye Tianchen, Cang Lang, and Luo Weike dare not take anything lightly.

The Beitian Kendo Sect, much like the Ancient Martial Sect of China, held a long-standing and significant status in Japan, akin to the revered Shaolin Temple of China since ancient times. It was undoubtedly a sect with great strength. Ye Tianchen had crossed swords with masters from the Beitian Kendo Sect several times, and even he had to admire the sect’s remarkable prowess.

"I’ll cover the rear. After we rescue the hostages, you and Luo Weike take the hostages and leave!" Cang Lang said.

"If you cover the rear, will you kill everyone? With your status, if you do that and the information leaks out, it will definitely have a severe international impact and could even lead to a full-scale war between the two nations. Let me handle this!" Ye Tianchen shook his head.

"But..."

Cang Lang wanted to say more but was immediately interrupted by Ye Tianchen, as he looked at Cang Lang and then at Luo Weike:

"Isn’t this why Elder Yang and the Supreme Commander sent me here? I believe it’s their intention for me to wipe out all these Japanese little devils. They just couldn’t issue such an order openly due to their positions!"

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, both Cang Lang and Luo Weike were stunned, and they couldn’t help but admire this young man. Although sometimes he could be utterly unreliable and exasperating, he was not one to overlook details and was extremely smart and wise.

Indeed, the Supreme Commander and Elder Yang had sent Ye Tianchen and Cang Lang for this mission not only because of the relationship between Ye Tianchen and Han Jie, but also because they knew that Ye Tianchen was an impulsive man and was someone who had been expelled from the military. He didn’t represent the nation, only himself. With his strength and character, even if he killed everyone here, it wouldn’t make a significant impact. Even if Japan were infuriated, they wouldn’t dare make a move.

It wasn’t that China feared international conflicts, but rather that one must have justification to stand their ground anywhere in the world. Even if it was simply "right" on the surface, it was nonetheless essential. If not available, nobody could stand firm, and the states were no different. That’s why nations always seek an excuse or create an incident to wage war, as they need a justifiable cause to send troops.

"Let’s go. It’s decided. We have to trust Xiao Ye’s strength and judgment!"

Luo Weike nodded, expressing his appreciation for Ye Tianchen’s capabilities and wisdom, which he had demonstrated throughout their journey.

"Don’t force a confrontation. Your life is the priority!" Cang Lang said with a smile.

"Don’t worry. I haven’t had my battle with you yet—I won’t die!" Ye Tianchen replied calmly with a smile.

The operation began. At this moment, Ye Tianchen held nothing back. Not only did he extend his Superpower Perception, but he also deployed a Superpower Isolation Net, enveloping the entire canyon of the Black Mist Forest. However, as soon as he activated the Superpower Isolation Net, he immediately sensed an incredibly strong force that seemed to have detected his Superpower Isolation Net and was probing for something. But at this point, Ye Tianchen was not concerned about startling the enemy. What other method was there aside from a massacre?

Pff!

Ye Tianchen took out the dagger prepared for him by Luo Weike and led the way straight into the depth of the canyon. This place, known as the Black Mist Canyon, had about eight or nine tents, a clear indication that Japan had deployed a significant number of people to disrupt the border and kill the special forces.

A slash of the blade, and Ye Tianchen dealt a fatal blow to an assassin he encountered, who had neither time to fight back nor scream. He pierced straight through the assassin’s throat. By now, there was no time for strategy; the best and most direct approach was to launch a full assault. With Ye Tianchen at the forefront drawing the enemy’s attention, Cang Lang and Luo Weike had already infiltrated from other locations. This was also a sound strategy.

"Who... who are you?" shouted several of the assassins in black upon noticing Ye Tianchen. They were startled, primarily because they didn’t expect someone to dare intrude with so many masters present and an elder of the Beitian Kendo Sect overseeing. Were they tired of living?

"Your executioner..."

Pff!

Before he finished speaking, Ye Tianchen’s dagger in his right hand had already killed another. The blade, now infused with the power of the Peak of King-level Superpower Realm, was not something an ordinary person could withstand. With his resolved intent to kill, once he made a move, he aimed to leave no enemy standing.

"Kill this fool who knows not the value of his life!" one of them yelled loudly.

Several assassins dressed in black all drew their Japanese-style military swords and charged at Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen gave a faint smile, his face showing no trace of killing intent, yet each of his strikes surely ended a life of one of the little devils.

Thud, thud, thud...

Four assassins dressed in black fell to the ground, all slain by the dagger in Ye Tianchen’s right hand, which he had infused with superpower. One could say that this dagger was no longer just a dagger, but a Superpower Light Sword, incredibly fierce and ferocious. It not only beheaded these assassins but even snapped their specially-made Japanese military swords. Such power couldn’t help but astonish onlookers.

Only the first assassin who had shouted remained, retreating in fear, clutching his Japanese-style military sword tightly, his eyes showing both anger and fear as he stared at Ye Tianchen. One must know that these men were all disciples of the Beichen One-Sword Style, each highly skilled and definitely no less capable than the special forces stationed at the border of the Black Mist Forest in China. Never had anyone slaughtered them as if they were slicing vegetables. Ye Tianchen was the first, this young man barely in his twenties possessed the power of a Death God. How could they not be so terrified that they were shaken to the core?

"Tell me, how many of you are there, and where is that old geezer leading you?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile, slowly walking towards the remaining black-clad assassin.

"You, you are a devil, you must die..." the remaining black-clad assassin glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen as he shouted.

"I am not a devil; I am the Death God..."

As he was about to make a move, a striking figure suddenly rushed out from the side. In the blink of an eye, the remaining assassin lay in a pool of blood, and Ye Tianchen frowned involuntarily—the sudden appearance and quick reflexes of this striking figure who had rapidly executed the remaining assassin caused him to take a closer look.

In front of him stood a tall woman, about 1.72 meters, with a beautiful face, slightly upturned lips, and captivating single eyelids, especially her golden curly hair, which added a touch of stunning beauty. She was not the skinny type but one bound to make many men’s hearts race—curves in all the right places. A true beauty, indeed. Her upper body was clad in a sheer blouse, and her legs were in tight black pants. Even more astonishing was that she wore sandals on her feet—it was hard to fathom from where such a gorgeous oddity of a woman had appeared.

"Speak, where have you hidden my cousin?" The beautiful oddity of a woman grabbed the black-clad assassin by the collar and demanded.

"He’s already dead, and besides, even if I loved your beautiful voice, I wouldn’t tell you the truth," Ye Tianchen said somewhat speechlessly, looking at the beautiful odd woman. He hadn’t expected her to be both attractive in appearance and to have such a pleasant voice.

In Ye Tianchen’s eyes, this was indeed an odd woman; her beauty was unquestionable with the perfect combination of figure and face. It was her attire that puzzled him: dressed in summer wear, donning a pair of sandals, she had come to this place with such impressive martial skills—wasn’t this a beautiful oddity of a woman?

Whoosh!

No sooner had Ye Tianchen spoken, than a beautiful leg swept towards him. The good-looking high-heeled sandals, set against her delicate, fair skin, were quite a sight to behold.

But as pleasant as it was to the eyes, being struck by the beauty’s leg would not be a pretty sight. So as the beautiful odd woman’s kick came sweeping in, Ye Tianchen had already caught her ankle with his left hand and asked with a smile,

"You seem to be here to rescue someone. Who are you looking for?"

"None of your business, let go!"

It must be said, the beautiful odd woman was strong. With her right ankle caught by Ye Tianchen, she managed to maintain a difficult suspended posture and kicked her left foot towards Ye Tianchen’s chest—a formidable move.

The beautiful odd woman kicked again, and Ye Tianchen dodged once more. This time she wasn’t caught by Ye Tianchen at her right ankle anymore; rather, she cast an annoyed yet adorably coy glance at him.

"Oh, a roll of the eyes, and suddenly the world means nothing to you!" Ye Tianchen teased with a laugh.

"Rogue, I can’t be bothered with you!"

The beautiful odd woman turned and walked away, knowing Ye Tianchen meant no harm, or their spat would have been more than just a simple exchange of blows.

Seeing the beautiful odd woman ignoring him, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but chuckle and say,

"I know your name is Zhang Lan, and you’re Han Jie’s cousin!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
