509: Chapter 504: Mysterious Cave 509: Chapter 504: Mysterious Cave “Yesterday’s international martial arts exchange was destined to be a place where miracles happen!
It was thought that our martial artists would falter, but at the critical moment, a masked warrior descended from the heavens.
Not only did this warrior save a severely injured companion, but he also successively defeated several foreign martial artists.
In the end, the leading martial artist of the foreign team, James, had to step in.
The two fought for three hundred rounds, a battle that shook the heavens and moved spirits.
The masked warrior displayed his astonishing martial prowess, leaving James utterly defenseless.
After James was killed, the foreign martial artist team was leaderless and fled China in disgrace!
Although we do not know the name of this warrior, his national spirit moved us.
It shows that our Chinese nation is not the ‘sick man of East Asia’!
Within the great mountains and rivers of our motherland, countless masters remain hidden; ready to rise and eliminate evil for the people when the nation is in peril…”
On television, the news kept broadcasting about yesterday’s martial arts exchange.
Unlike the news on the internet, the television reports were very positive.
The news anchor called on the people of the nation not to take the victory lightly, cautioning that just because we were fortunate to win this time, it did not mean the foreign devils would not come again.
To defend against foreign enemies, the citizens must be aware of potential dangers in times of peace, strive to catch up, vigorously promote physical exercise, and practice martial arts as a nation!
The news program also appealed to all citizens not to forget the ethnic spirit of the nation!
The newspapers displayed on the newsstands were all about Ye Tian, whose masked silhouette dominated the front pages and headlines of all major papers!
“National Destiny!”
“National Martial Spirit!”
“Modern-Day Huo Yuanjia!”
…
All the newspapers used forceful terms to describe the greatness of Ye Tian.
For such a hero, it was not too much to sing his praises for a lifetime!
“Eh?
Young man, you’re back!”
The newsstand owner recognized Ye Tian instantly and was overjoyed.
“You told me yesterday that today’s papers would sell well!
So I, on a whim, stocked up on loads of them!
I never thought they would actually sell this well, and my sales today were three times the usual!”
Since it was Ye Tian’s suggestion that led the newsstand owner to order more papers, the owner was naturally very grateful to him and picked up a newspaper to hand it over to Ye Tian.
“This one’s on the house for you, young man, thanks to your good advice!”
But Ye Tian waved his hand, indicating he didn’t want it.
The newsstand owner said with a smile, “Actually, this isn’t your credit; it’s all thanks to that great hero!
I plan to frame a photo of the hero and hang it on the wall!”
The newsstand owner greatly admired the hero who had defeated the foreign martial artists, but unfortunately, he didn’t know the true appearance of that great hero.
“Young man, come to think of it, you look quite like that great hero!”
The newsstand owner joked, and without further conversation, Ye Tian left the newsstand.
“Come take a look!
Masks of the national hero!
Big clearance sale on masks of the national hero!”
A vendor was shouting, selling a pile of masks in his hands that were identical to the one Ye Tian wore yesterday.
Indeed, where there’s demand, production follows.
Ye Tian’s victory over James was just yesterday’s news, and already on the next morning, identical masks were being sold…
And the masks in the vendor’s hands sold exceptionally well, especially popular among children!
In Capital City, many children were playing while wearing those masks.
“I am the national hero!”
“No, I am the national hero!
Behold my Tathagata Palm!”
…
Ye Tian did not linger long on the streets of Capital City but went straight to the airport.
At noon, the plane arrived, and by the afternoon, Ye Tian had returned to Jiang City.
Back at the villa, Yun Xinyan had also just come home from work!
“Wife, I’m back!”
Ye Tian said to Yun Xinyan with a playful smile.
Yun Xinyan gave Ye Tian a glance but didn’t say a word.
“What’s wrong, dear wife?”
Sensing that Yun Xinyan was acting unusually, Ye Tian approached her with curiosity.
Yun Xinyan stared at him for a while before suddenly embracing him!
Surprised by the sudden joy, Ye Tian was extremely excited.
“Wife, I didn’t expect you to be so forward today.
It’s taken me somewhat by surprise.
Although I’m not quite mentally prepared, if you wish it, I’m ready now!”
Ye Tian joked, but his words didn’t reach Yun Xinyan’s ears.
“Welcome back.”
Yun Xinyan said softly, a tenderness carried in her voice.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian’s heart instantly softened…
Seeing Yun Xinyan’s expression as if she were about to cry, Ye Tian sat down with her on the sofa.
Yun Xinyan could no longer control the emotions in her heart and said slowly, “Ye Tian, I have always been worried about you.
When I saw you fighting with such a formidable enemy, my heart felt like it was about to shatter!”
Although she was the CEO of Yun Corporation, always hiding behind a strong woman’s facade, Yun Xinyan’s heart was soft.
Especially when it came to the safety of the one she loved, Yun Xinyan couldn’t help herself!
So, even though she calmly watched the live video of Ye Tian fighting James in her office, in reality, her heart had been suspended in mid-air all along.
Yun Xinyan had always been worried about Ye Tian, afraid that something unexpected might happen to him…
“Don’t worry!
Honey, your good husband me, is very, very powerful!
So there’s no need to worry, because I will defeat all the enemies and protect my wife!”
Ye Tian said with a smile, but he knew himself that the fight with James had been incredibly dangerous!
Indeed, his strength was great, far surpassing human limits, but in fact, Ye Tian had not reached the level of being invincible.
In this world, masters were as numerous as carps crossing a river.
Just a moment’s negligence could lead to an irredeemable fall into an abyss…
In the battle against the King of Hell, Yun Xinyan went from deep sorrow to great joy and before she could worry, the King of Hell was slain by her own hands!
In the battle against the Rakshasa Queen, Yun Xinyan had never witnessed it herself!
Only in the fight with James did Yun Xinyan watch from beginning to end.
Her heart was in her throat, and for her, it was indeed a torture!
“Ye Tian, sometimes I feel so selfish!
So selfish that I don’t want you to go to Capital City to compete against those foreigners.
So, when you left, I wanted you to come back, I even wished for you to retreat at the last minute…”
Yun Xinyan tried her best to express her emotions, her temperament really that of a clingy little wife!
“Heh, so my good wife has this side too!”
Ye Tian wrapped his arms around Yun Xinyan, whose slender waist was like boneless, her body emanating waves of fragrance.
Yun Xinyan did not resist, leaning directly into Ye Tian’s embrace, and the two of them maintained this position for a long time…
“Ye Tian, now everyone in the company knows you went to the arena; they all see you as a hero!”
Yun Xinyan said softly, and Ye Tian immediately showed a bitter expression.
“That’s not good, the more famous you are, the more people will envy you!
I thought I hid my identity deeply with a mask, but they recognized me at a glance!”
“Pfft!”
Yun Xinyan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, not knowing whether marrying a hero was a blessing or a curse.
That night, Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan held each other close, whispering secrets and sharing their innermost feelings.
Nobody had the heart to watch the TV news about the martial arts exchange meeting…
Strangely, Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan both found this hugging position extremely comfortable, felt it brought them even closer together, so neither of them suggested doing anything else…
While Ye Tian and his wife Yun Xinyan were whispering sweet nothings, deep in the mountains of China, a person in black was walking slowly.
This person was cloaked in black, wearing a mask and unidentifiable as man or woman.
Upon reaching a cave, completely dark inside, the person in black boldly stepped in.
As they walked, the luminous moss on the ceiling suddenly began to glow.
This luminous moss, not only bright and dazzling, turning the pitch-black cave as bright as day, was also sound-activated, lighting up as soon as the person in black entered the cave.
After walking several tens of meters inside the cave, the person in black arrived at an iron door.
“Beep!”
The person in black pressed their finger on the fingerprint scanner, and the iron door immediately opened automatically.
Inside the door, the scene was very different from the outside, looking like a space fortress!
In the iron-built structure, cameras and infrared scanners were everywhere.
They continuously swept over the person in black, finally confirming their identity before allowing the person to enter smoothly.
After passing through three similar iron doors, the person in black finally arrived at the core area of the building!
In this area, computers were everywhere.
On the computer screens, data was continuously being processed, with each result displayed on the large central screen.
Beyond that, in this area, there were several other people dressed exactly like the person in black!
“How’s the situation?”
One person in black asked the one who had just returned from outside, who directly reported back to their companions.
“James is dead; he was killed by the King of the Night!”
“What!?”
Upon hearing this news, all the people in black were immediately enraged.
“The King of the Night managed to kill James?
Does this mean that his strength has increased once again?”
“Could it be related to the crystal and the golden horn that he got from the King of Hell and the Rakshasa Queen?”
“Though James was not strong enough, he was still one of our own.
The King of the Night dares to kill one of our kin; this vengeance must be avenged!”
“That’s right!
How dare a human challenge the gods!
Don’t forget, all humans were created by the gods; without us, humans would perish!”
“Those who disrespect the gods must be given divine punishment; it’s necessary!”
…
The people in black, one after another, voiced their anger towards Ye Tian.
