Chapter 565: Chapter 564
Sometimes, a grand battle between experts isnât like what ordinary people imagine, where it must last three days and nights or be so fierce that it tears the sky and cracks the earth to count as a clash between masters. In reality, a duel between true masters often doesnât need such fancy and grand Slaughter Skills. Weâre not talking about a performance in a TV show or movie here. When itâs a matter of life and death, no one dares to take it lightly. Victory or defeat can even be determined in a single moveâa punch could reveal the gap in strength between opponents and oneself.
The battle between Ye Tianchen and Captain Yan Long was just like that. To these two, the moment their fists collided, they already had some estimation of each otherâs strength. The ensuing grand battle was only to better assess each otherâs and their own capabilities, controlling their power within a certain range. It was a pure exchange of fists and palms, a kind of grand battle that could be more intense and substantial without the need for earth-shattering explosions.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two shadows plunged from the sky, punching continuously as they rose, and still attacking each other as they fell. Just when it looked like they would land headfirst, they fiercely exchanged another palm, then flipped over to land steadily, their eyes filled with Battle Intent as they watched each other.
"Letâs go again!" Ye Tianchenâs eyes flashed with excitement. He was someone who enjoyed fighting strong opponents, a person with War Blood in his veins. Since being reborn on Earth from the apocalypse, this was the first time Ye Tianchen felt such excitement and eagerness to fight. Captain Yan Longâs formidable power had ignited Ye Tianchenâs desire for a hearty battle.
"No need!" Captain Yan Long waved his hand and said.
"We havenât determined a winner between us yet..." Ye Tianchen started to say.
"Being able to fight me, Yan Long, to a draw is proof enough of your strength. Iâve heard about you from Jiang Meng and Fei Yun. For our nation to have a talent like you, it seems like us old fellows like Cang Lang and I should retire," Yan Long said with a smile.
The sudden shift in Yan Longâs attitude took Ye Tianchen by surprise, and even Jiang Meng and Fei Yun were astonished. In their eyes, Captain Yan Long had always been serious and detested evil, never admitting defeat. Once his War Blood boiled, he was the type to fight to the end. Why would he suddenly, contrary to his nature, initiate a stop to the battle today? There had to be a reason behind it.
"Captain Yan Long, as the leader of Falcon Unit, this doesnât seem to be your style, does it?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.
"People have to change eventually, and they have to accept old age. Both Cang Lang and I are old now. For someone as young as you to possess such combat power is a blessing for our country. Thereâs no need to be so fixated!" Yan Long replied with a smile.
Hearing these words from Yan Long, Jiang Meng and Fei Yun came to understand. Captain Yan Long wasnât a very stubborn man. Despite possibly wanting to fight more than Cang Lang, Ye Tianchenâs power had been recognized by Yan Long. Winning or losing wasnât important anymore. Ye Tianchen had also done some things for the country, and Yan Long had heard about them. So, there was no need to insist on determining a winner, to bring it to life or death.
"I hope we can become friends in the future. I do like making friends," Ye Tianchen said with a grin.
"Forget it, Iâve heard that after Cang Lang made you his friend, he faced quite a few tricky situations. I dare not befriend you," Yan Long said with a laugh.
"Thank you, Captain Yan Long!" Ye Tianchen said earnestly.
Yan Long glanced at Ye Tianchen and then walked towards the gates of the Liu family estate. Jiang Meng and Fei Yun, coming back to their senses, hurriedly followed. But after Yan Long took a few steps forward, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around, and said to Ye Tianchen, "Among the three great War Kings of our nation, besides Cang Lang and myself, thereâs a third one. Heâs as young as you and even stronger than Cang Lang and me. I heard he left our nation a few years ago and might have joined an enemy country. If you encounter him, be careful."
After Yan Long finished speaking and walked away with Jiang Meng and Fei Yun, Ye Tianchen couldnât help but smile and say to Yong Chun Tai, "Letâs go inside. Now no one should stop me from finding Liu Rumei!"
"You young man managed to make Yan Long give up the fight without even determining a winner. Impressive!" Yong Chun Tai said earnestly.
"No, Yan Long is very strong; heâs not inferior to me. A fight between us would only result in mutual destruction. Itâs best that it ended this way!" Ye Tianchen said, shaking his head.
"Indeed, you donât have any deep-seated hatred for each other. You both were doing your best to control your power during the fight, careful not to destroy the Liu familyâs manor. I think Yan Long also understands that you didnât come to cause trouble at the Liu family compound; otherwise, he wouldnât have left so assuredly!" Yong Chun Tai nodded and said.
Ye Tianchen took a drag of his cigarette and furrowed his brow. The matter of the third-ranked War King, as mentioned by Yan Long, was something he had to take seriously. This person was about the same age as Ye Tianchen himself, yet even more powerful than Cang Lang and Yan Long. This could be considered a cultivation genius. The reason Ye Tianchen, at his young age, possessed such battle prowess was that he was reborn from an apocalyptic star and was originally a warrior with Divine-level superpowers. Although his strength and realm had declined significantly after being reborn on Earth, his previous cultivation experience was incomparable. If we were discussing a cultivation prodigy, this third-ranked War King of China might even be more talented than Ye Tianchen. Moreover, according to Yan Long, this person had already betrayed his own country and become an enemyâs agent. It wouldnât matter if their paths didnât cross, but if they did, he would have to be extremely cautious.
After thinking it over, Ye Tianchen momentarily put aside the matter of the third-ranked War King and followed Yong Chun Tai into the house where Liu Rumei lived. By this time, Yan Long, along with Jiang Meng and Fei Yun, had also arrived at the entrance of the Liu familyâs compound, where they immediately saw Li San. Without a word or greeting, Yan Long headed straight for the gates of the Liu family compound.
"Captain Yan Long, it looks like youâve taken care of Ye Tianchen?" Li San deliberately started by asking.
"No, I let him go to meet Liu Rumei," Yan Long replied indifferently.
"This... You... haha, I never expected that even Yan Long, one of the three great War Kings of China and captain of the Falcon Unit, is no match for Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen is really amazing!" Li San said mockingly, displeased.
"Li San, what did you say? Say that again?"
"Shut your dog mouth. Looking for a beating, are you?"
Jiang Meng and Fei Yun were naturally angered by Li Sanâs words and wanted to teach him a lesson, but they were stopped by Yan Long. Yan Long glanced at Li San, knowing that his Monument Pushing Hand was very powerful, and Li San was a very brutal person. With Jiang Meng and Fei Yunâs abilities, they probably wouldnât be a match for Li San. Yan Long then said, "Didnât you already have a big fight with Ye Tianchen? If you had won, would you still need me to intervene?"
"You..."
"I have matters to attend to, so Iâm leaving. Youâre the Grand Steward of the Liu family; if you canât protect them, then my responsibility is even less." After saying this, Yan Long walked out of the Liu familyâs gates, leaving Li San trembling with anger. When had Li San ever been humiliated like this?
Yan Long got into the military vehicle with Jiang Meng driving and Fei Yun in the passengerâs seat, while Yan Long sat in the back. As soon as they got in the car, Jiang Meng couldnât help but ask, "Captain, you and that kid Ye Tianchen havenât decided a winner yet, but you just let him go see Liu Rumei; youâre letting him off too easily!"
"Iâm afraid that might feed Ye Tianchenâs arrogance," added Fei Yun, unable to restrain himself from speaking.
"I donât think so. Ye Tianchen may be young, but heâs not arrogant or impatient. On the contrary, he has a very stable disposition. He acts according to his principles and definitely wonât mix public affairs with private vengeance. If he were truly an evil man, given the humiliations he suffered because of the Liu family in the past, now that he has transcended his previous self, how could he possibly let the Liu family off the hook? However, during our fight, he was also controlling his power, not wishing to destroy the Liu family. This proves that Ye Tianchen isnât narrow-minded. More importantly, I feel that Ye Tianchen is a man with great aspirations; in his eyes, these are just trivial matters, not worth fussing over." Yan Long said this, and couldnât help but furrow his brow.
At this point, Ye Tianchen and Yong Chun Tai had already entered the house where Liu Rumei resided. Liu Rumeiâs living place was a small two-story villa, not lavishly decorated but rather warm. As soon as Ye Tianchen entered with Yong Chun Tai, he saw Liu Rumei sitting in the living room, browsing data about nuclear weapons on her computer. Noticing Ye Tianchenâs arrival, her eyes revealed a hint of surprise as she couldnât help but say, "I didnât expect that you could actually make it inside..."
"It wasnât easy to see you. Something feels off. You met with me so easily this time; it looks like Iâll have to set up some barriers next time as well," Ye Tianchen replied nonchalantly.
Liu Rumei gracefully closed her laptop, dressed in a white nightgown revealing her arms and legs. Her flawless skin, complemented by her proud curves, was in full view, especially in this room filled with the scent of a woman. It genuinely made Ye Tianchen take a few extra breaths. Regardless of his strength, Ye Tianchen was still a manâ a normal man. Every man has emotions and desires; the key is whether they can be controlled or not.
"Speak, what business do you have with me?" Liu Rumei asked.
"Iâve come to ask for your help in finding out how many military bases there are in New York, M country, and their exact locations..." Ye Tianchen looked at Liu Rumei as he spoke. (To be continued.
