Chapter 463 - Will Alice Save Luo Yan and the Others?

Chapter 463: Chapter 462: Will Alice Save Luo Yan and the Others?Richuan Gangban lost, and Ye Tianchen had defeated the strongest expert among the young generation of the Sword Emperor Sect. In Ye Tianchen’s view, Richuan Gangban lost due to his mentality. He was very strong, not weaker than Ye Tianchen himself, but he lacked the indomitable heart of a true champion, which was the real reason behind his defeat.

Ye Tianchen was not arrogant; he was confident, believed in his strength, and possessed an invincible heart. Just like in the battle with Sato, who was much stronger than him, it was his faith, that invincible heart and gaze, that kept him unbowed at all times. Sometimes, having an invincible heart is more important than anything else, as it can bring out the limitless potential in a person, leaving their opponents feeling awe-struck.

Confident but not arrogant, having a clear understanding of his own and his enemies’ strengths, he never backed down when facing even the mightiest foes. That invincible heart might be the reason why Ye Tianchen had survived so many life-and-death battles—not because those people weren’t strong enough or that they didn’t possess powers as great as Ye Tianchen’s, but because they lacked certain essentials needed by the supreme strong. They blindly pursued strength, neglecting the cultivation of their minds.

In short, it is like a student who had always been top of his class. Every test, he ranked first, loved by teachers and secretly admired by many girls. However, the day he ranked second, although not a bad position, his pride was hugely impacted. Unable to tolerate even the slightest grievance or setback, he faltered and never recovered. This was a problem of mentality.

At that moment, without looking back after he had spoken, Ye Tianchen left. Though exhausted and severely injured, he did not stay. He was concerned for his mother, his younger sister, Qi Ruxue and Alice, these four women. As for the burly man who scorned him and emerged to block the black spider created from evil qi, Ye Tianchen paid him no mind. From the man’s words, he had guessed some were unhappy he did not accept help from a Heavenly Gang Level War General and wanted to push him into facing the challenge of the Heavenly Gang Barrier; plain and simple, it was intended as a lesson for Ye Tianchen.

When Cang Lang told Ye Tianchen that China’s strongest single-combat troop was the Heavenly Gang War General, and that passing the Heavenly Gang Barrier was necessary to become one, despite the barrier’s notorious danger and difficulty, Ye Tianchen had already decided he would try his hand at this Heavenly Gang Level challenge to see just how formidable it was. He was someone who loved adventures, but one thing after another had delayed him, otherwise, he would have attempted it much earlier—it was just a matter of time.

Bang! Bang!

What Ye Tianchen didn’t know was that, after he had left, the burly man, with just two punches, had obliterated the black spider transformed from evil qi. He indeed possessed impressive strength. Had Ye Tianchen been there, he would also have been shocked.

"Hmph, couldn’t even handle this creature and still wants to challenge the Heavenly Gang Barrier, he’s practically seeking death. I don’t know what the team leader is thinking, sending me, the vice-captain, to personally take action. He’s overestimated this Ye family kid too much. I’m afraid he’s going to be disappointed; this kid doesn’t have enough strength!" The burly man, after killing the black spider with two punches, shook his head and spoke.

At that time, the home of Ye Tianchen, occupied by Luo Yan, Ye Qianwen, Qi Ruxue, and Alice, was now a mess of ruins, having been attacked by the experts of the Sword Emperor Sect. Of these four women, aside from Alice, who was quite skilled, the other three, Luo Yan, Ye Qianwen, and Qi Ruxue, were completely defenseless.

The thiry people from the Sword Emperor Sect who had arrived, each one an elite expert of the sect, had not only been sent to kill Ye Tianchen—a must—but also to assist the government of another country in stopping the Ling family from relocating back to the country. The reason why the Sword Emperor sent these thirty experts was also to train the young generation of the Sword Emperor Sect. During the war years when China was invaded, the Sword Emperor, not yet the Sect Leader of the Sword Emperor Sect, was already, like Richuan Gangban, the strongest among the young generation. He had defeated many experts. However, when he challenged the Shaolin Temple, he encountered a young monk and, after a day and night of evenly matched battle, the elders of the Sword Emperor Sect and senior experts from the Ancient Martial Sects of China were utterly astonished. Both young men represented the strongest new forces of Japan and China, and either’s death in this competition would have been a great loss to their respective countries so the fight was broken up by other experts, leaving both gravely injured.

Over the years, the Sword Emperor had never forgotten his desire for revenge; that young monk from the Shaolin Temple had remained a knot in his heart. Unless he defeated that monk and killed him, he would not be able to untangle the knot in his heart or break through to higher realms. Thus, for these years, the Sword Emperor had tirelessly practiced the Sword Emperor Sect’s blade skills, proclaiming that one day he would return to China, flatten the Shaolin Temple, and defeat that young monk. Since that event, the Sword Emperor had taken great interest in Chinese martial arts, appreciating their profoundness and sought to understand and study them thoroughly, hence sending his disciples to train in China’s exquisite martial arts, preparing them for the day he would come again and try to exact his revenge on the Shaolin Temple.

"Ah..."

A sharp cry came from Qi Ruxue; the entire Ye family villa was destroyed. Luo Yan, Ye Qianwen, Qi Ruxue, and Alice were fleeing, but with three of them utterly defenseless, how could they escape? They were quickly overtaken, and one of the Sword Emperor Sect assassins swung his blade towards Qi Ruxue, who fell down, unable to dodge and could only scream instinctively, awaiting the arrival of her death.

Clang!

That was the sound of weapons clashing. Qi Ruxue opened her eyes and her gaze was filled with surprise; she hadn’t expected that the person who blocked the attack in front of her and saved her life would be Alice.

Not to mention that Alice and Qi Ruxue had been staying in the Ye family’s villa during this period, openly and secretly competing with each other. They unabashedly expressed their admiration for Ye Tianchen, whether it was in terms of beauty, dress, figure, voluptuousness, or skills in cooking and doing household chores. Their rivalry had caused Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen much amusement, forcing them to pretend not to notice, which was also a relief since they didn’t have to cook or clean during this time.

Alice had unexpectedly saved her, and her skills had suddenly become so powerful, just like a martial arts master. She blocked a Japanese assassin from the Kitashin school in an instant and even kicked him flying. Such strength was unknown to Qi Ruxue and the others before, and it was only at this moment that Alice had revealed it.

"What are you standing there for, why aren’t you running?" Alice said irritably, glancing at Qi Ruxue.

At this moment, Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen, the mother and daughter duo, returned and helped Qi Ruxue up, both looking at Alice in surprise. Alice was not only a stunning blonde but now held a military dagger in each hand, looking anything but frail; instead, she exuded the air of a warrior heroine.

"If you don’t leave now, you’ll all die here!" Alice said gravely.

Shush, shush, shush! Three assassins from Japan’s Kitashin Blade School stood before Alice, their Japanese swords aimed directly at her, their eyes filled with murderous intent and rage. They had come to attack the Ye family villa with six top-level masters, thinking it would be easy to kill these four women. However, when they made their move, a flash of sword light passed and one of their experts was killed instantly, not even having time to scream. Two others desperately blocked that invincible sword, allowing these three to destroy the villa and chase after the women. Their humiliation and loss were great; this mission to China included only the young elites of the Kitashin Blade School, and training a new master was no easy task. The death of three of them truly enraged them.

"No one can escape. Don’t blame us, blame your association with Ye Tianchen. Anyone related to Ye Tianchen must die!" one of them said coldly.

"To kill them, you’ll have to get past me first!" Alice said coldly.

One of the Japanese assassins stared hard at Alice, a hint of confusion in his eyes. Everyone knew they were puppets of the American government, and they were aware before arriving that Alice, the head of an American intelligence agency, was also in the Capital City to investigate the assassination of Ye Tianchen. Why wasn’t Alice helping them kill Ye Tianchen’s mother and sister, and instead, was turning her blade towards them?

"If you won’t make a move, then let me kill you!"

Seeing the hesitation of the three Japanese assassins, Alice frowned, gripped her military daggers tightly, and quickly charged towards the three assassins from Kitashin Blade School...(To be continued.
