Chapter 323 - Two Oddballs Like a Couple

Chapter 323: Chapter 322: Two Oddballs Like a CoupleYe Tianchen and Zhang Lan could be said to have rampaged their way into the Black Mist Forest, where both of them killed seven assassins dressed in black at the same moment, ending up at a tie and taking this bet very seriously.

Zhang Lan was a highly competitive girl, absolutely a woman of her word, while Ye Tianchen, though slightly ruffian-like and having a kind of "Death God" personality, was also a man whose word was as good as gold, true to his word like a knight spurring his horse forward.

From the youngest generation of the Sword Pavilion, there were still three people left among the Four Great Killing Kings, and these were not the weakest. At least among them, there were more formidable people than Dao Gejian; these three were also extremely arrogant. Despite Sato’s clear warning, which noted that each of the special forces members coming for the rescue were very strong, and that even Elder Sato, who hadn’t acted in twenty years, might be forced to take action, these three didn’t take Ye Tianchen and others seriously.

As soon as these three Killing Kings burst forth, they each swung out a blade, extremely powerful, thinking that even if they couldn’t kill Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan in one blow, they could severely injure them, making them easy prey.

However, unbeknownst to them, when the three Killing Kings joined forces to strike, each unleashing a dominating slash, despite Zhang Lan being somewhat unprepared and caught off guard by these three suddenly emerging with such strength, Ye Tianchen quickly rushed to Zhang Lan’s side and raised the "Golden Divine Shield" from his Gold Element Superpower Skill, blocking those fatal three blades.

Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but be surprised; his Gold Element Superpower Skill "Golden Divine Shield," which had never been broken before, not even a crack, now showed signs of collapsing when faced with the slashes from these three assassins, indicating their great strength, unlike other assassins.

At that moment, Zhang Lan also snapped back to her senses. She didn’t retreat but instead quickly moved to stand side by side with Ye Tianchen, a hint of anger in her beautiful eyes, glaring intensely at the three men in black who had nearly taken her life, furious.

Seeing Zhang Lan’s bravery, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but smile, impressed by this woman’s formidable abilities and courage to advance instead of retreat in the face of such powerful adversaries.

"Powerful young Chinese, it seems Elder Sato wasn’t wrong!" the middle assassin said with a cold laugh.

"I didn’t expect a beautiful woman to accompany you!" another assassin remarked lustfully after sizing Zhang Lan up.

"Unfortunately, you must die, your girlfriend too, but she will die a bit later because we want to have some fun. It would be too much of a pity for such a beauty to die so easily!" the last assassin said, eyes blazing as he looked at Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan’s outfit was, in itself, enough to make men’s blood boil; a simple T-shirt on top and extremely short denim shorts that accentuated her curvy, rounded rear, mainly because of her tall and voluptuous figure, with blonde, curly hair that added to her stunning appearance.

However, Ye Tianchen wasn’t distracted by such views; he wasn’t a person to be stopped in his tracks by a beautiful woman. Beautiful things were, of course, admired by everyone; beauties were meant to be seen, and of course, if you had the ability, you could also win their hearts, but that required charm.

"What? Girlfriend?"

"She’s not my girlfriend!"

When Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan heard what the last assassin said, they almost yelled in unison, both somewhat frustrated. Were these three assassins strange in thinking that Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan were a couple who came to Black Mist Canyon for a rescue mission?

"Do you guys have any taste, any sense of judgment? Me liking this guy? Impossible in this lifetime!" Zhang Lan scoffed as she glanced at Ye Tianchen.

"Well, you think I fancy you? Weirdo woman!" Ye Tianchen shot back, not willing to lose.

"You’re the weirdo? Say that again, and I won’t be polite!" Zhang Lan pouted cutely, staring at Ye Tianchen.

"Forget it, a good man does not fight with a woman. If you can’t win by talking, resorting to roughness is not right!" Ye Tianchen shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

The three Kings of Killers were completely dumbfounded. When they regained their senses, they simultaneously frowned heavily, never having encountered anyone who still had the mind to argue under their siege, and it didn’t even seem like arguing but rather a sweet bickering between a couple, completely disregarding them.

"Kill this weird couple!" the middle assassin shouted angrily.

Whish! Whish! Whish!

Three figures charged towards Ye Tianchen and Zhang Lan. Zhang Lan was not just a vase-like beauty. Just now, she was almost injured and had to be rescued by Ye Tianchen, which already made the proud Zhang Lan uncomfortable. This time, she took the initiative and met them head-on, not retreating even half a step against the extremely powerful Three Kings of Killers, gripped her dagger tightly and charged forward.

Ye Tianchen naturally knew that Zhang Lan alone wouldn’t be a match for the three formidable superpower users, and he was preparing to step in when suddenly, two figures charged out and engaged two of the Kings of Killers individually.

"You go save them, we might not be able to complete this mission!"

"We believe in you!"

The two who rushed out were Cang Lang and Luo Weike, who had already gone to search but had not found the remaining special forces and Han Jie, so they had to rely on Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen, as a superpower user, had far greater superpower perception than other masters’ alertness. It seemed the enemy had also anticipated this and had hidden the remaining special forces and Han Jie.

"Hmph, facing the Three Great Killing Kings, no one has ever survived!"

"You all are going to die!"

"If you dare to compare us to that Dao Gejian, you are gravely mistaken and will die a miserable death!"

Ye Tianchen had also realized that these three individuals were extraordinarily strong. The black-clothed assassins that he and Zhang Lan had initially killed were strong, but these three were on a completely different level, much higher than those assassins.

"Alright, stop them, I will make it quick!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

"Hey, big baddie, this isn’t fair, it’s too much..." Zhang Lan panicked as she was prevented by one of the Kings of Killers, unable to help save her cousin Han Jie. Wasn’t this allowing Ye Tianchen to get ahead?

"Weirdo lady, just keep playing, I’ve already won, and remember to brush your teeth when you kiss me!" Ye Tianchen said with a mischievous smirk.

"You are the weirdo, your whole family are weirdos..." Zhang Lan pouted angrily, feeling an urge to bite Ye Tianchen.

Swish!

Without any hesitation, and despite the joking, Ye Tianchen was like a real Death God when he got down to business, incredibly ruthless and giving off a vibe that made people wary of approaching him; perhaps this was part of his charm that attracted many women.

Zhang Lan, Cang Lang, Luo Weike clashed with the Three Great Killing Kings of the North Star Sword Sect, with a battle on the verge of breaking out. The strength of each was formidable, and with the Killing Kings’ unpredictable blade skills, it was impossible for Zhang Lan and the others to gain quick victories. Especially Zhang Lan, who watched Ye Tianchen take the initiative and could only look on helplessly, grinding her teeth, pouting cutely with her bottom lip sticking out a bit, cursing Ye Tianchen in her heart.

Ye Tianchen, who plunged deep into Black Mist Canyon, was using his superpower perception all along the way to search but couldn’t detect the whereabouts of the missing special forces and Han Jie. He was also very puzzled and shocked that someone could evade his superpower perception, which indicated the elder from the North Star Sword Sect was truly unimaginably strong.

"Old guy, if you want to play games, I’ll play with you!"

As soon as Ye Tianchen spoke, a bolt of thunder appeared in his right hand and instantly swept across all the tents. In the next instant, all the tents were struck by the thunder, igniting into a huge blaze, while Ye Tianchen stood at the center, carefully perceiving every movement around him.

Bang!

A loud noise sounded as if something burst out from the ground. Ye Tianchen frowned. He did not make a move. Usually, he would have launched the most ferocious attack when the enemy was mid-air, as that was an opportunity, especially against powerful foes. Showing leniency would only bring trouble and increase the risk of death.

However, this time Ye Tianchen did not act, because the old man was holding a hostage, who was Han Jie. Han Jie’s neck was gripped by Sato’s left wrist, and at her neck was a dagger that could end her life with just a slight nudge.

Ye Tianchen looked at Sato, and Sato looked back at Ye Tianchen. Neither spoke, just watching each other coldly. The standoff between the experts, whoever acted first, would likely determine the outcome of the fight. Both were supremely powerful; anyone daring to come close would receive a lethal strike.

"Tianchen, don’t come over, go away, go quickly..." Han Jie saw Ye Tianchen, moved that he would come to save her, and shouted out loud out of worry because she knew how strong Sato was, unfathomably strong. She didn’t want Ye Tianchen to lose his life...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend and vote monthly at qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
