Chapter 37 - This Assassin is Very Strong and Special

That night, he still had to eliminate Li Tie, presumably Shan Xiong, Li Tie’s henchman, had already conveyed his intentions to come “sightseeing” there tonight.

He had to rest and gather energy, for there would be a battle at midnight.

“I still have half a lobster left.

Do you want to eat it?” Qi Ruxue teased Ye Tianchen playfully, holding up half of a large lobster and smiling.

Ye Tianchen swallowed hard.

If it had been anything else, it definitely wouldn’t have tempted him, but delicious food was his weakness.

It must be said that Qi Ruxue, though a capricious young miss, really wasn’t bad at cooking, especially the lobster and abalone, which looked very appetizing.

Even Luo Yan, his mother, who usually disliked abalone, couldn’t help but eat two.

“No, your stuff isn’t even as tasty as instant noodle seasoning,” Ye Tianchen said dismissively, rolling his eyes at Qi Ruxue.

“Fine, don’t eat then.

I’ll keep it for my breakfast tomorrow.” Qi Ruxue said sweetly, looking genuinely adorable with her smile.

Seeing Qi Ruxue’s smug expression, Ye Tianchen felt a bit depressed, unable to understand how this girl had so quickly found his weak spot.

Turning to leave, Ye Tianchen didn’t pay any more attention to Qi Ruxue, genuinely concerned that he might not resist rushing over to snatch the half lobster from her hands and devour it.

Ye Tianchen entered his bedroom and closed the door.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he looked at the faint moonlight outside the window.

His eyes, normally so carefree, became unusually sharp.

Tonight was destined to be a night of slaughter.

To contend with the Qin family, he must first cut off Qin family’s arms, and Li Tie, the Qin family’s lapdog and leader of Capital City’s underworld, who even dared to send someone to assassinate his father, had to die.

He vowed to protect everything in this life; no one could reach out to the people and things around him without facing Ye Tianchen’s wrath.

Just as Ye Tianchen had begun sitting cross-legged on his bed, preparing to feel the superpower within his body, he suddenly noticed an unusual energy fluctuation at his window.

Turning his head, he saw a figure standing on the window ledge, dressed in black and looking coldly at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen frowned, sensing that this person was no ordinary being.

According to his superpower-based perception, every person’s energy fluctuation is unique.

Ordinary people release only weak energy fluctuations, but strong individuals, no matter how well they hide, release powerful energy.

Since his rebirth, this was the first time Ye Tianchen had felt such a presence.

This man standing on his bedroom window ledge was strong, else he wouldn’t have appeared just as Ye Tianchen realized he was there.

“The biggest joke of Capital City, Ye Tianchen, is said to have changed entirely,” the man on the window ledge said with a cold laugh.

“It seems the rumors are indeed true.”

Despite sensing the strength of this sudden visitor, Ye Tianchen remained calm, sitting cross-legged on the bed and smiling, “Is there something you need?

If not, I’m about to go to sleep!”

The man frowned; he hadn’t expected Ye Tianchen to be so composed.

His sudden appearance certainly wasn’t merely to check on Ye Tianchen.

Additionally, the fact that he could silently appear on Ye Tianchen’s bedroom window indicated his formidable skills.

Yet, Ye Tianchen was asking him if there was anything he needed.

Was this man feigning composure, or was he still just an incredible fool?

“I am called Wuxue and I am here to kill you,” the man declared coldly.

“Oh?

You, an assassin, are quite interesting to openly declare your name,” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

“Hmph, it is my principle as an assassin to let the deceased know the reason,” the man known as Wuxue retorted.

Wuxue, the number one assassin of Capital City, had been sensed by Ye Tianchen for his strength the moment he appeared.

This was probably the most formidable person he had encountered so far in the urban world.

Now, Ye Tianchen truly realized the words Cang Lang had said to him when he left the military; wherever there were people, there would be conflicts and strong ones, and this life, too, had strong individuals from Ancient Martial Sects and superpower-wielding madmen.

As for whether there were mutants and beast mutants, Ye Tianchen didn’t know.

“So, are we really going to fight?” Ye Tianchen asked smilingly.

“Before midnight tonight, I must have your head, or I won’t be able to answer to my employer.

To avoid disturbing your family, come outside!” Wuxue said coldly.

Ye Tianchen suddenly found this assassin named Wuxue to be quite principled and unique, unlike other assassins who stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Instead, Wuxue seemed to have a humane side to him, not typically ruthless like other assassins.

In fact, the moment Wuxue appeared, the superpower within Ye Tianchen had begun to surge.

To advance from Monarch level to King-level superpower, he needed more intense battles.

Only through combat could the superpower core in his brain be stimulated, tapping into the superpower within his meridians.

“Well then, if you lose, I won’t kill you,” Ye Tianchen continued to say with a smile.

Wuxue frowned, sensing something extraordinary about Ye Tianchen.

In the past, when he was hired to kill, he would also inform his targets in the same manner; many would either beg for mercy, abruptly attack in desperation, or turn and run.

But Ye Tianchen was different; upon learning that Wuxue was there to kill him, he remained calmly sitting cross-legged on the bed, that innocuous smile of his making Wuxue feel a tad terrifying.

“I’ll be waiting for you in the grove not far from here!” Wuxue came to his senses and disappeared from the windowsill.

Ye Tianchen smiled slightly, stood up, walked out of his bedroom, and saw his mother Luo Yan, his younger sister Ye Qianwen, and Qi Ruxue, the lady of wealth, chatting and laughing together.

He then said, “I’m going out for a walk to digest a bit!”

“A walk?

To digest?

Brother, it seems you only had a bowl of instant noodles, right?

You have indigestion?” Ye Qianwen asked, puzzled.

“If you want to go out to eat, just say so, why pretend?” Qi Ruxue also said with a proud smile.

“You’re the one going out to eat, you’re the dog, instant noodles are really awesome, way better than some people’s cooking.

I’ve decided, from now on, whenever a certain person cooks, I’ll just eat instant noodles,” Ye Tianchen firmly retorted.

“Tianchen, you’re really going to suffer then.

I was thinking of letting Ruxue help me cook from now on.

Should Mom buy you a few boxes of instant noodles to stock up on?” Luo Yan also asked, laughing.

Ye Tianchen was very frustrated, waved his hand, and walked out the door.

It was simply impossible to communicate with these three women now.

He didn’t know what kind of “drug” Qi Ruxue had given to his mom and sister, but they were completely siding with Qi Ruxue now, defending her staunchly, completely ignoring their own son and brother’s feelings.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have pitied Qi Ruxue and brought her home.

Now, he had no place or say in this house.

Stepping out of the house, Ye Tianchen pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.

He checked his phone, and it was almost ten o’clock.

Besides Wuxue, the assassin, coming to attack, there was also the thug Li Tie waiting for him to kill; he had to make it quick.

When Ye Tianchen walked into the grove of the villa area, Wuxue was sitting on a rock, his eyes coldly watching Ye Tianchen.

Since he had promised the Luo family and proposed his conditions to them, all he needed was to kill Ye Tianchen, and Luo Songcheng would find a way to release his adoptive father.

For the sake of his reputation as the number one assassin in Capital City and for his adoptive father, no matter how strong Ye Tianchen was, Wuxue was prepared to exert his full strength to kill him.

“Any last words to leave behind?

I can convey them to your family,” Wuxue said coldly.

“No need, look at how beautiful the moon is tonight.

Why don’t you let me guess who sent you to kill me?” Ye Tianchen looked up at the bright moon.

“No need, you’ll understand everything when you die…”

As soon as Wuxue’s voice fell, he dashed toward Ye Tianchen like lightning, leapt over a meter high, and threw a punch straight at Ye Tianchen’s chest.

Ye Tianchen’s gaze shifted.

He had not misjudged; this assassin named Wuxue was very strong, his move was sharp, accompanied by powerful waves of Inner Strength.

If he hadn’t guessed wrong, Wuxue must be a master from an Ancient Martial Sect who had practiced their Inner Strength.

Thump!

Wuxue’s punch missed, dodged by Ye Tianchen.

The punch hit a nearby tree, piercing straight through the trunk of a tree that could almost be embraced by one person.

This sight even made Ye Tianchen stagger.

“Your fists are quite hard!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

“Make your move then.

I see you’re not weak.

Let’s see how powerful the biggest laughingstock of Capital City, Ye Tianchen, has become after his transcendence!” Wuxue did not expect his quick and fierce punch to be so easily dodged by Ye Tianchen, which somewhat shocked him, making him decide to go all out.

“Then you better be careful!” Ye Tianchen still said with a smile.

“Arrogant!”

Wuxue roared, his fists tightly clenched, like a Roc Spread Wings preparing to launch a powerful strike.

In his view, even if Ye Tianchen had some skills, he definitely couldn’t defeat him, Wuxue.

Facing Wuxue’s next punch, Ye Tianchen frowned, because he felt a strong wave of Inner Strength.

Having fought against masters from Ancient Martial Sects during the apocalypse, he was very familiar with this feeling of Inner Strength and sensed that the Inner Strength Wuxue was releasing was very powerful.

With fists flying, Wuxue Roc Spread Wings, bringing forth powerful Inner Strength.

During Wuxue’s punch, Ye Tianchen, not daring to slack, rolled on the spot and kicked a rock from the ground towards him.

Boom!

A loud noise followed as Wuxue’s fists, filled with mighty Inner Strength, struck the rock, shattering it completely.
