Chapter 40 of "Super Combat Soldier" begins revealing surprises: 40: Chapter 40 [The Arrogant Shan Ji] 40: Chapter 40 [The Arrogant Shan Ji] Midnight... Read on to find out!

40: Chapter 40 [The Arrogant Shan Ji] 40: Chapter 40 [The Arrogant Shan Ji] Midnight descended, and Ye Tianchen, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, arrived outside the villa where Li Tie lived. He stopped a hundred meters away, sat on a decorative rock by the roadside, and leisurely enjoyed his smoke. Once the cigarette burned out, Ye Tianchen would be ready to eliminate the head of the Capital City’s underground forces, Li Tie. Ye Tianchen arrived with a smile on his face as he smoked. He didn’t know whether Wuxue had succeeded in killing the two grandsons of the Luo family or not, but either way, he was here to kill Li Tie, sending a warning to the Qin family. If Wuxue managed to kill the Luo family’s two grandsons, striking fear into their hearts, that would be even better. At present, the two biggest threats to the Ye family were the Qin family and the Luo family. The power of these two families far exceeded that of the Ye family. They didn’t take the Ye family seriously and thought they could crush them with the slightest effort. However, Ye Tianchen’s return had slowly changed everything. First, he killed two assassins sent by the Qin family, leaving them baffled. Then, the head of Capital City’s underground forces, Li Tie, was sent by the Qin family to investigate, making them afraid to make rash moves. The Luo family had it the worst. Luo Lei spread rumors, and both brothers got severely beaten by Ye Tianchen. The Luo family’s patriarch, Luo Songcheng, didn’t dare to move against Ye Tianchen openly, instead tempting Capital City’s number one assassin, Wuxue, to secretly assassinate Ye Tianchen. After finishing his cigarette, Ye Tianchen slowly closed his eyes. His superpower had just advanced to King-level, albeit at the Initial Stage, but it already bore no comparison to his Monarch Level days. Every upgrade in superpower level made a world of difference in strength. The moment he closed his eyes, Ye Tianchen slowly stirred the superpower within his body. He could feel it had significantly intensified, allowing him to sense everything within a kilometer radius. Gradually, he focused his mind on the inside of Li Tie’s villa to understand what was happening there. Five minutes later, Ye Tianchen opened his eyes with a cold smirk. He now knew everything that was happening inside and outside the villa. Standing up, he took out another cigarette, lit it, and with both hands still tucked in his pockets, he slowly walked toward Li Tie’s residence. At this moment, Li Tie was in the study on the second floor of his villa, comfortably smoking a cigar and sipping red wine. His mistress, Xiao Qing, was kneeling on the left side of his thigh, massaging it. In the room were also Shan Xiong and another bald, thin man. “Shan Xiong, Shan Ji, is everything arranged?” Li Tie asked as he sipped his wine. “Big Brother, everything’s arranged. More than thirty armed brothers are guarding every key passage of the villa. S~eaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If that little bastard Ye Tianchen dares to come, he’ll surely not leave alive!” Shan Xiong said fiercely. Ye Tianchen had broken both of his arms, and naturally he was filled with hatred, wishing he could kill Ye Tianchen himself. “Just a little bastard, and you, Are you a fucking bear? Being beaten to that state is really embarrassing!” Before Li Tie could speak, the bald, skinny man standing next to him scornfully glanced at Shan Xiong and said. This bald, skinny man was one of Li Tie’s top men, Shan Ji. He was only about 1.65 meters tall, weak-looking, with a shiny bald head, and an average appearance. However, there was a sinister light that occasionally shone in his eyes, unnerving anyone who saw it. “You… Shan Ji, what do you mean?” Shan Xiong, with both arms broken by Ye Tianchen and devoid of any power to fight back, was already a bit embarrassed. Now that Shan Ji brought it up, he was so furious that his eyes turned bloodshot as he roared at Shan Ji. “What do I mean? You motherfucker got both arms broken by a wastrel, and you still have the nerve to strut around? It’s disgraceful!” Shan Ji sneered mockingly. “Shan Ji, you…” Shan Xiong was so angry he wanted to rush up and fight Shan Ji to the death, but he was intimidated by a sentence from Shan Ji. “I advise you, motherfucker, don’t provoke me. With your pitiful skills, I could kick you back into your mother’s womb with just one foot,” Shan Ji said contemptuously. Li Tie glanced at Shan Xiong and then at Shan Ji and said with a smile, “Stop fighting, you two. Shan Xiong, you’ve screwed up this time. After we kill Ye Tianchen, you’ll be punished. Shan Ji, you may be skilled, but I’ve heard that Ye Tianchen is no pushover. Be extra careful.” “Hmph, big brother, to be honest, I’m not too happy this time. I was out enjoying foreign women when you rushed to call me back. It’s just a little bastard. I heard that the guy Ye Tianchen is just a wastrel and loser. Even if he’s got some skills, do I need to be the one to deal with him?” Shan Ji looked at Li Tie and snorted coldly. If anyone else had dared to talk to Li Tie this way, they probably would have ended up without even a corpse left to find, but Shan Ji was an exception. This guy had always been so arrogantly confident, of course, he had the skills to back up his arrogance. Among Li Tie’s men, Shan Ji was definitely the top fighter. An orphan since childhood, he was taken in by an elder of the Shaolin Temple, grew up immersed in Shaolin Kung Fu, and while he was undisciplined and idle, his skills had grown strong over decades of practice. “All martial arts under heaven come from Shaolin,” this saying wasn’t an empty claim. Ancient Martial Sects slowly went into hiding, but Shaolin remained the leader among them, possessing many Absolute Skills. Shan Ji originally wanted to learn Shaolin Long Fist, but the abbot of Shaolin saw his cruel nature and refused to teach him. True to his vicious character, Shan Ji set a big fire to Shaolin Temple that night and ran down the mountain to join Li Tie, becoming one of his fierce fighters. “You, I’ve heard that Ye Tianchen managed to beat Luo Lei, a member of the Falcon Unit, without giving him any chance to fight back. Even though Shan Xiong isn’t as skilled as you are, he’s not weak either. If you end up facing Ye Tianchen, it would be better for you to be careful,” Li Tie said with a smile. “With Shan Xiong’s abilities, I could beat him hands down, even if he used all his limbs. As for Ye Tianchen, let’s see if he can even get into the villa…” After Shan Ji finished speaking, he walked out of the study without paying any heed to Li Tie or Shan Xiong, completely undisturbed by Ye Tianchen’s impending attack. In his eyes, even if Ye Tianchen were to strike, he’d only need a few punches to deal with him. No need for such a fuss or to bother rallying his Elite Gun Team and himself, it was like using a cleaver to kill a chicken. “Big brother, that guy Shan Ji…” Shan Xiong was furious, Shan Ji was just too arrogant. After all, they were supposed to be on the same side, yet Shan Ji, relying on his superior skills, had no regard for the others. “Don’t take it to heart. Shan Ji is skilled and naturally a bit arrogant, but he is still quite loyal to me. We’ll need his strength to take down Ye Tianchen and eliminate the Ye family this time,” Li Tie said, looking at Shan Xiong. “Boss, are you planning to eliminate the Ye family right after killing Ye Tianchen?” Xiao Qing, the concubine, was smart. As soon as she heard Li Tie’s words, she guessed his intention. In fact, that was exactly what Li Tie had in mind. Although Ye Tianchen’s return had taken him by surprise and left him puzzled, he still believed it was unnecessary to dispatch his Elite Gun Team just for killing Ye Tianchen. The reason for summoning Shan Ji and the entire Elite Gun Team was to make a move against the Ye family. It goes without saying, when someone like Li Tie—who was only fit to operate in the shadows—dared to act against the Ye family, it truly showed how much the family had declined. If they did not recover soon, any Tom, Dick, or Harry would dare to target the Ye family, this soft persimmon! “Smart. With the Ye family in decline, since the Qin family wants them gone, I’ll do it for them and earn some benefits in the process,” Li Tie said with a smile, glancing at his concubine, Xiao Qing. “I understand, big brother,” Shan Xiong said, nodding. “Remember, make sure that little bastard Ye Tianchen can’t return after he comes. The first step to eliminating the Ye family starts with him. Let him learn that I, Li Tie, call the shots in the underworld of the Capital City!” Li Tie declared loudly with wild arrogance. At that moment, Ye Tianchen arrived beneath the villa where Li Tie resided. He had utilized his Superpower Perception earlier to grasp the complete layout of the villa’s surroundings. Whether it was the perimeter or inside, at all critical pathways stood armed elite thugs with no lack in skills. Suddenly, Ye Tianchen’s footsteps halted, and without turning his head, he said, “Having followed me for so long, isn’t it time for you to come out?” As soon as the words left his mouth, a figure leaped down from the large tree beside them, looking at Ye Tianchen in astonishment and asking, “You, you noticed me a while ago?” “Speak, what is it you want?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile. “I, I want to follow you and work for you, whether as a horse or an ox, it’s all fine.” Ye Tianchen looked at the young man before him and said, “Hu Long, I know you want to kill Li Tie with your own hands to avenge your parents, but it’s very dangerous this time. Do you know how many armed assassins are here?” “I’m not afraid. As long as I can avenge my parents and personally kill Li Tie, even if it means my death, it doesn’t matter,” Hu Long stated firmly. When Ye Tianchen first arrived here, he had activated his Superpower Perception and knew that Hu Long was tracking him. He had some admiration for Hu Long, who was a tough man, ready to die but not allow anyone to take his sister, protect his family with his life. Such courage and fervor were hard to find in present-day society. “What will your sister do if you die?” Ye Tianchen asked, looking at Hu Long. “I… to be honest with you, I knew you would come to deal with Li Tie, so I was waiting here for you. Big brother, please take me in, I’m willing to work as hard as a dog or horse!” Hu Long was about to kneel and swear to take Ye Tianchen as his leader. However, just as Hu Long was about to kneel, Ye Tianchen’s right foot pressed against Hu Long’s left knee, and no matter how much force Hu Long exerted, he couldn’t go down to his knees. “Big brother…” Hu Long was anxious, worried that Ye Tianchen wouldn’t accept him. Ever since that night Ye Tianchen saved him and his sister, Hu Long had seen Ye Tianchen as family. He had sent his sister back to the countryside, and he had returned to the Capital City alone, just to follow the man who had saved their lives. “Don’t blindly trust that I can provide you a future. Your future is in your hands, and you need to fight for it with your own fists,” Ye Tianchen said to Hu Long with a smile.
