Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1970 - 1968: [A Stele Towering into the Sky]

[I ask for everyone’s help with something, please introduce friends and family to read "Super War Soldier". It’s such a great book, it’s worth recommending!]Carried by two demon beasts with human heads and snake bodies, a sedan chair was Ye Tianchen’s first encounter with something troublesome in the Barbaric Forbidden Land!

However, during both encounters, a murderous aura clashed between them, yet Ye Tianchen didn’t know what creature was inside the sedan. He had tried to probe with his powerful divine thought but was blocked by a sinister force, surprising Ye Tianchen—the creature inside the sedan must be extraordinary!

As Ye Tianchen, the Flying Little Leopard, a youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan, a strong man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan, and a maiden from the Immortal Deer Descendant Clan headed south of the East Continent in search of Medicine King Valley, little did they know the Golden-faced Young Master and the mysterious creature inside the sedan were already plotting their deaths!

The reason the mysterious creature inside the sedan was so forceful and overbearing, even more arrogant than the Golden-faced Young Master, had not acted during the second encounter with Ye Tianchen was because the sinister force inside it clashed with itself. It needed to find a quiet place to contain this sinister aura; otherwise, with its arrogant spirit, it would have acted in the cities of the East Continent to kill Ye Tianchen already!

"Where did that reckless thing go? Is it still in the cities of the East Continent?" the mysterious creature inside the sedan asked harshly.

"Young Master, following your instructions, we tracked the human practitioner’s movements and found he went south!" one of the demon beasts with a human head and snake body quickly reported.

"South? Humph, truly a narrow path for enemies, it happens that we are going south too, and my ancestral uncle is there. It seems heaven has destined this human practitioner’s death!" the mysterious creature inside the sedan said with a very smug cold snort.

"Young Master, what should we do now..." another demon beast with a human head and snake body asked quietly.

"What do you mean what to do? Head south immediately! For so many years, no one has dared to show such disdain toward me. This human practitioner will surely taste the agony of seeking life but finding death!" the mysterious creature inside the sedan said harshly.

The two demon beasts with human heads and snake bodies lifted the sedan and headed south of the East Continent, while at the same time, Ye Tianchen, accompanied by the Little Demon Bat Beast and four demon beasts, including the Flying Sky Leopard, was also on the journey south of the East Continent.

Ye Tianchen felt somewhat curious, even a bit excited, as everything in the Barbaric Forbidden Land seemed to offer a great opportunity to discover resources and compete, providing him valuable development. He needed this kind of training, but with only seven days left in Tian Boguang’s life, if Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass or the only slightly effective Ten Thousand Year Old Ginseng could not be found within these days, Tian Boguang would surely die. Therefore, Ye Tianchen could not afford delays—Tian Boguang’s life was the utmost priority.

"Is the Barbaric Forbidden Land too big? It seems the East Continent itself is vast and boundless!" the Flying Little Leopard exclaimed in surprise.

"Truly astonishing!" a youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan nodded and said.

"The Five Guardians of the demon clan in this Barbaric Forbidden Land protect the edges of it but have been enslaved and controlled for generations. Guarding a place without knowing its size is truly pitiful. No wonder our previous generation chose to risk life and death to strive for the freedom of the species!" a strong man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan said with some lament.

"Freedom is what every creature pursues. Seeking eternal life and immortality is, in essence, a pursuit of ultimate freedom. Without freedom, creatures are mere walking corpses!" a maiden from the Immortal Deer Descendant Clan said with a smile.

"It seems the Barbaric Forbidden Land is no longer peaceful. Because of the invasion of humans, it is more brutal and bloodthirsty than when demon beasts dominated this world. You all must be extra careful; I don’t want to die so soon—I haven’t even really started cultivation yet!" the Little Demon Bat Beast said nervously.

Ye Tianchen did not speak; he was constantly searching for the Medicine King Valley. According to the waiter, at the entrance of Medicine King Valley, there is a Tongtian Stone Tablet, inscribed with the words "Medicine King Valley." As long as they find this Tongtian Stone Tablet, they will find Medicine King Valley.

"Boss, we’ve flown quite a distance forward, why haven’t we found Medicine King Valley? Could the waiter have deceived us?" the Flying Little Leopard asked skeptically.

"No, Medicine King Valley must exist and is just like that waiter said, extremely dangerous. Perhaps even a Saint would face death there!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and replied.

"This... can’t be, right? It must be that waiter exaggerating, right? How powerful is a Saint Realm? In an era where Emperors don’t appear, Saints are the rulers of this Martial Arts World. Is the Medicine King Valley really that formidable?" A youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan asked incredulously.

"That waiter did not deceive us. Medicine King Valley must be a very perilous place." A strong man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan nodded in agreement.

"That’s right, you can think about it. When we previously tried to ask about the Barbaric Forbidden Land, the waiter wouldn’t open his mouth, disdaining to tell us anything. Later, after Taoist Ye seriously injured him, he was convinced and spoke honestly. When asked where the most Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass could be found, the waiter immediately mentioned Medicine King Valley without hesitation. As for that waiter, he would wish for nothing more than us to be obliterated quickly. He wouldn’t tell us beneficial things so readily. Only something extremely dangerous would be mentioned outright, because he also wants us to go to Medicine King Valley to die!" A girl from the Immortal Deer Descendants Clan analyzed.

"Ah? Is it really that dangerous? Then, then we..." The Flying Little Leopard was taken aback, speaking with some fear.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the Flying Little Leopard, the youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan, the strong man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan, and the girl from the Immortal Deer Descendants Clan. Regarding these four Demon Beasts, he still had considerations. Even though initially they had troubled him at the edge of this Barbaric Forbidden Land, along this journey, these four Demon Beasts aren’t the kind of violent, bloodthirsty, and despicable beings. They had gotten along quite well, and they followed him, Ye Tianchen, wanting to break the curse and fate of racial enslavement, essentially being victims themselves.

"Once we reach Medicine King Valley, you don’t need to follow me. Just wait for me outside the valley." Ye Tianchen said.

"Boss, let’s go in together. You’ve been taking care of us all the way here; it wouldn’t be right to abandon you now!" The Flying Little Leopard said earnestly.

"That’s right, Brother Ye, we think you are a good person!" The youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan also said solemnly.

"Brother Ye, to be honest, the enmity between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan has lasted for billions of years, with heavy grudges between our species. Initially, we were wary of you, but all the way here, you treated us sincerely. We should also strive to do our part!" The strong man from the Divine Power Pangolin Clan nodded in agreement.

"The reason we’re with you in this Barbaric Forbidden Land is precisely to strive to break free from the fate of generations being enslaved and controlled at the edge of the Barbaric Forbidden Land. However, all the way here, you’ve been the one protecting us, and we can’t see our own efforts. For all the major Demon Beast clans, we must strive to break our own shackles ourselves!" The girl from the Immortal Deer Descendant Clan said.

Ye Tianchen smiled slightly. To be honest, in this Martial Arts World, he had gained a group of friends who shared life and death in loyalty, which he truly cherished. In a world of survival of the fittest, a world where people eat people, making such friends is indeed not easy. Now, these four Demon Beasts are also friends worth making. This is a rare phenomenon in the long history of animosity between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, which he was rather pleased with. However, he would not agree because it was too dangerous. The strength of this Barbaric Forbidden Land was unimaginable. Even though the cultivation of the four Demon Beasts like the Flying Little Leopard was not weak, it would still be very difficult to roam this Barbaric Forbidden Land without constantly facing the threat of death.

"I understand your thoughts and sentiments, and precisely because of that, if you’re going to risk your lives and bleed, you should save your strength to unleash when breaking free from the ties of racial enslavement. Now is too soon, don’t you agree?" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"But, Boss..." The Flying Little Leopard still felt uncomfortable, saying.

"Alright, it’s decided then. Once we reach Medicine King Valley, you will wait outside. I will come out quickly, and maybe by then, I’ll have something to ask you guys for!" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said.

They continued flying forward, always heading south towards the East Continent. What Ye Tianchen and the others didn’t know was that an unknown creature inside a sedan was also heading south at great speed, not far from them. Perhaps before Ye Tianchen even entered the Medicine King Valley, the first major battle of his journey in this Barbaric Forbidden Land would erupt.

"Is that... is it?" Ye Tianchen was flying in front and saw something towering in the distance, resembling a pillar supporting the sky.

"It’s a stele!" The Flying Little Leopard immediately said.

"We’ve finally arrived. Medicine King Valley, is that the stele marking the entrance to Medicine King Valley? Why does it look like a towering sky pillar? It’s so magnificent!" The youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan asked in amazement.

A stele, from a distance, looked like a pillar holding up the sky, standing on the ground and towering above the sky. This was the stele marking the entrance to Medicine King Valley. Ye Tianchen and the others had arrived... (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
