Chapter 128: Chapter 127 [Blade Member VS Powerful Man in Black]

That night, deep into the silence, Ye Tianchen lay in bed sound asleep. He hadn’t used his superpower to temper his body that evening, mainly because someone had brought a feast of meat and fish. Just as Cang Lang was passing by, Ye Tianchen invited him to eat and drink together. The two drank seven or eight bottles of Wuliangye Wine and got quite tipsy. After Cang Lang left, Ye Tianchen felt a splitting headache and immediately fell asleep on the bed. He hadn’t expected that the alcohol in this life would be so strong.

It was around one o’clock in the morning. Around the villa where Ye Tianchen slept, there were eight soldiers standing guard, protecting the area 24 hours a day. This was mainly because it was occasionally a resting place for the big shot Yang Yi, hence the tight security. Tianchen felt secure and quickly fell asleep.

A shadow dressed in a night suit and wearing a black mask silently approached the villa where Ye Tianchen was sleeping. In front of the villa, there was a small garden. Although it wasn’t large, it was quite suitable for resting. Joking aside, if it’s the resting place of a Military Committee big shot, then the setup must be first-rate with super-secure protection. The eight soldiers picked from thousands were not comparable in combat strength to ordinary soldiers.

The shadow hid silently at the villa’s outer fence, quietly observing the eight soldiers stationed in all directions. Motionless, they stood like statues. They did not carry guns; they only had military daggers on the left side of their chests.

When Tianchen had arrived, he was quite curious. During a drink with Cang Lang, Ye Tianchen also broached the topic of the "Eight Diagrams". Cang Lang simply mentioned two words, "Blade Force".

At that moment, Tianchen was thrilled. "Blade Force" held significant weight in China’s entire military circle and even excited countless soldiers. Blade Force’s members were all selected from the best of soldiers. They were unlike the Sky Dragon Team or the Falcon Unit; they were like Zhongnanhai bodyguards, specialized in protecting the nation’s most important leaders. One could imagine their strength.

Blade Force never had more than one hundred members, because their highest leader, the captain of Blade Force, always aimed to enhance the unit’s combat ability, striving for perfection and looking to surpass the strength of the Sky Dragon Team and Falcon Unit. Only the most elite members could join Blade Force, and they conducted annual assessments of their official members. If you couldn’t pass, sorry, but you would be dismissed.

Swish, swish, swish...

Eight flying knives were suddenly hurled towards the eight soldiers stationed at different positions, unexpectedly and swiftly. Just as the eight soldiers simultaneously raised their hands to deflect the incoming flying knives, the shadow dashed into the garden at lightning speed, aiming for the second floor where Ye Tianchen slept. With a tap of the left foot on the ground, the figure soared over two meters high and struck towards the glass window of Tianchen’s bedroom, intending to shatter it and burst inside to kill Ye Tianchen.

However, just as the assailant struck out and before hitting the glass, two figures attacked from both sides. The assailant was taken aback, not expecting the members of Blade Force to have such agile movements and reflexes. In an instant, they not only deflected the thrown flying knives but also quickly counterattacked.

Boom!

A muffled sound erupted as the intruder, with formidable strength, faced the two Blade Force members attacking from the sides. Though surprised, he did not panic and quickly retracted his right palm, striking out simultaneously with his hands to repel the two members.

"Ha!"

Bang!

Nobody expected that after repelling the two members, the black-clad figure would let out a roar, shattering the glass of Tianchen’s bedroom. It was just like the legendary Lion Roar Skill. If it had been an ordinary person, they would have been terrified, but many members of Blade Force had practiced Ancient Martial Sect’s Inner Strength. They knew that the intruder had shattered the glass with a roar infused with strong Inner Strength. This side proof demonstrated just how formidable the black-clad figure was.

It must be said that the Absolute Skills of the Ancient Martial Sects are incredibly profound. Chinese Martial Arts, like the culture, has a five-thousand-year heritage. Despite ancient martial sects gradually fading from public view due to modern technological advances, they still exist in another form and have remained just as powerful. Whether it’s police academies or military troops, they generally teach some Absolute Skills from these sects. Of course, many only learn the basics; the deeper martial arts aren’t something everyone can practice. This shows how revered the skills of the Ancient Martial Sects are; even during the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen wished to obtain the Yijin Jing from Shaolin Temple to practice powerful Inner Strength and temper an indestructible physique.

With such intense fighting noise outside, and even the bedroom glass shattering loudly, Ye Tianchen continued to sleep soundly. It’s hard to say how much he and Cang Lang had drunk; it was probably more than just eight bottles of liquor.

Just as the black-clad figure produced a Flying Knife in his right hand to take Tianchen’s life, ropes snagged his legs. Two Blade Force members standing at the base of the villa gave a tug, and the assailant’s body fell downwards. But even so, his right hand still stubbornly hurled the Flying Knife towards Tianchen.

Thud!

Because the black-clad person lost his balance, the flying knife plunged straight into the ground beside Ye Tianchen’s head, missing by a mere two centimeters from piercing through his skull—dangerously close. Yet, Ye Tianchen continued to snore loudly.

Of the eight members of the Blade Force, only four surrounded the black-clad person, while the other four remained stationary, each at different positions around the villa. That’s the mark of a well-trained protection detail. Being a bodyguard required not only skill but also intelligence. If everyone swarmed one assailant, what would they do if a second or third one appeared? How would they defend then? Wouldn’t that put the person they were protecting in extreme danger?

As the black-clad person was about to hit the ground from the tremendous force of the fall, a glint of blade light flashed, and the ropes entangled around his body were cut loose. Mid-air, he somersaulted and landed firmly on the ground.

The four members of the Blade Force surrounding the black-clad person reacted swiftly. As he cut the ropes, they had all drawn out the Military Blades from their chest pockets, and together they lunged at the black-clad person.

Meanwhile, a black stick appeared in the hands of the black-clad person, resembling half of a nunchaku and about a forearm’s length. He didn’t retreat but advanced, charging toward the villa. His previous throw of the knife had missed Ye Tianchen, which he had witnessed, so he intended to make another attempt on Ye Tianchen’s life.

The melee had begun. The four members of the Blade Force went all in, but they couldn’t subdue the black-clad person or even catch a glimpse of his face. They were all amazed by his strength; despite the assailant neither falling behind nor getting injured, he found it just as difficult to harm any of the Blade Force members, who had been selected from thousands for their exceptional abilities.

"Don’t push me. I just want to kill Ye Tianchen and no one else!" the black-clad person stood in the center and said coldly.

The members of the Blade Force did not respond but launched another synchronized attack, aware of the black-clad person’s strength, nobody dared to be careless.

The black-clad person’s eyes shifted, realizing it was all in vain. With a sudden, thunderous roar, the nearby grass trembled, and the Blade Force members hadn’t expected this of him at this critical moment; they all felt as if their eardrums would burst and their heads rang loudly.

In the momentary daze of the Blade Force members, the black-clad person had already broken through their encirclement and rushed towards the bedroom where Ye Tianchen was staying. With the windows already shattered, the black-clad person leaped into the air to a height where he could see inside the room, and six small flying knives shot out, all aiming for the bed.

Thud, thud, thud... All six flying knives embedded themselves into the bed, burying deep into the wood. The Blade Force members frowned, taken aback, thinking that their collective efforts to protect Ye Tianchen had failed, and now things were ruined.

The black-clad person landed on the ground, pleased with himself for ’killing’ Ye Tianchen. As for the remaining eight members of the Blade Force, even if he couldn’t kill them all, escaping to safety would likely pose no issue.

"Ye Tianchen is dead. If you want to stop me, come and give it a try," the black-clad person said with a confident smile.

"Kill him!" one of the Blade Force members ordered coldly.

The eight members of the Blade Force all held their General Blades across their chests. Their protectee, Ye Tianchen, was ’dead,’ and if they couldn’t capture this black-clad person, they would have failed their superiors—they had to kill him.

"Hmph, I’m in a good mood right now, so I won’t be killing you!" the black-clad person held the black stick tightly and sneered.

"What’s going on? Are you shooting a movie in the middle of the night? Can’t you let people sleep? Who are you, anyway? Can’t you be more considerate and not disturb my sleep? Has basic public decency been completely lost?"

There, Ye Tianchen appeared at the window of his bedroom, looking at the black-clad person with great irritation, as a string of annoyed remarks burst from his lips, enough to make anyone shake their head in disbelief.
