Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Assassination (Part 2)
"Still need to pay more?" Master Kuimu’s face darkened upon hearing this, almost dripping water.
This time hiring this person, he and Zhuang Wuxian had almost expended half of their savings, and everything was agreed upon, yet now this?
"Yes, otherwise, with just this bit of money, it’s hard to make me do your bidding." The figure in the bamboo hat glanced at the two, sighed, and said.
Master Kuimu’s face turned alternately green and white.
He glanced at the gradually departing trio of Chen Tianliang, and then finally made a decision, taking a deep breath: "Alright, then, the price I promised before, I’ll raise it by fifty percent, how about that?"
"Hahaha, now that’s more like it." The bamboo-hatted figure laughed and said:
"When should we act?"
Master Kuimu looked at the departing figure of Chen Tianliang, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes: "Now!"
In an instant, the two walked out of the alley.
...
...
At the same time.
Having just bought a wooden hairpin for styling hair, Chen Tianliang gently inserted it into Yingy Shuangshuang’s hair.
"Wife, you look beautiful."
Chen Tianliang looked at Yingy Shuangshuang, foolishly smiling and said.
Just then.
"Chen Tianliang, you’ve committed countless atrocities, today I shall uphold justice on behalf of heaven!"
A loud shout suddenly came.
Immediately after.
A figure in a bamboo hat, wielding a long blade, came slashing down fiercely towards Chen Tianliang!
The sharp and cold blade light blossomed in the dark night, like a dragon shocking the world, slashing vertically!
"Huh?"
Chen Tianliang suddenly turned around, flipping his right hand to reveal a black gold dragon-embossed halberd.
He casually made a slanting cut.
Boom——!!
A golden halberd light instantly burst forth, clashing fiercely with the cold blade light in mid-air!
Bam!!!
Like two mountains colliding, a deafening explosion burst forth instantly!
A massive shockwave spread out instantly from where the two clashed in mid-air.
The roofs of countless surrounding houses were directly blown off and collapsed.
The originally bustling and lively festival turned into a mortal tragedy in an instant.
Some townsfolk were struck down by the falling bricks and stones, dying on the spot.
Even more townsfolk screamed as they fled in panic!
Chen Tianliang casually waved away the aftershocks, then looked up sharply, eyes fixed on the bamboo-hatted figure in the black robe.
"You dare cause trouble on the Chen family’s turf? You’re courting death!!!"
Chen Tianliang’s voice was icy, his foot stomping heavily, and the ground instantly exploded into a crater.
And his entire being soared upwards like a cannonball, appearing instantly in front of the bamboo-hatted black-robed man.
"Slash!!"
He held the halberd with both hands, Primordial Power surging from within him, delivering a powerful strike downward.
"I want to see how strong Third Master Chen of the legendary Ziwei Chen Family really is."
The bamboo-hatted black-robed man snorted coldly, a surge of True Self Third Layer cultivation emanating from him.
He wielded the blade horizontally, executing a slanting cut forward.
A blade light like a ribbon instantly illuminated the entire night.
Boom——!!
They collided again!
The ribbon-like blade light shattered layer by layer upon mere contact with the great halberd.
Then, the halberd struck heavily on the bamboo-hatted black-robed man’s blade.
"This power....."
The black-robed man’s face changed instantly, as an incredibly powerful force that could shake mountains came crashing down on him, sending him flying backward before he could react.
Bam!!
He fell heavily in mid-air, smashing through several tall buildings before managing to stop.
A deep pit with a diameter of over ten zhang had already formed where he crashed!
Chen Tianliang stood in mid-air with the halberd in one hand.
His figure was mighty, his long black hair flew wildly, as he looked down at the bamboo-hatted black-robed man, with a fierce glow in his eyes.
"Weak like roadside weeds, and you dare to ambush me?"
The black-robed man coughed up a mouthful of blood, leaping out from the crater.
"The Primordial Power of the Ziwei Chen Family, truly lives up to its reputation." The black-robed man’s face was gloomy as he looked towards the void beside them: "Aren’t you going to act?"
In the next moment.
A man wearing a wide-brimmed hood covering most of his face, Master Kuimu, stepped out from the void.
A True Self First Layer cultivation emanated from Master Kuimu.
The two formed a pincer stance, blocking Chen Tianliang’s retreat.
"Kill!"
Master Kuimu’s voice was hoarse, uttering a single word.
In an instant, the two attacked Chen Tianliang again!
"Great Wilderness Nine Slashes!"
The bamboo-hatted man’s cultivation surged to its peak, slashing nine times instantly!
As for Master Kuimu, in order not to reveal his identity, he instantly threw numerous talismans of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning towards Chen Tianliang.
In an instant, thunder struck in the void, pouring rain, whirlwinds swept, and various world-shaking phenomena erupted!
"Wife, protect the child."
Chen Tianliang lowered his head and instructed Yingy Shuangshuang.
Then he looked up again, eyes flickering with excitement at the duo of Master Kuimu teaming up to kill him.
"How can many ants bite an elephant to death?"
Chen Tianliang laughed loudly, his whole being exuding immortal golden light, charging towards the two.
Bam bam bam!!
In the blink of an eye.
Chen Tianliang fought the two, exchanging more than a hundred moves!
Half of Lin’an City seemed on the verge of cracking from the battle!
Buildings and palaces all collapsed like an apocalyptic scene!
Boom!
Chen Tianliang did a sweeping attack, forcing Master Kuimu and the bamboo-hatted man back.
"No, if we keep fighting like this, the whole of Lin’an City will be split apart."
Chen Tianliang’s mind raced with thoughts.
The next moment.
He stepped forward with his right foot, a low, sinister laugh issuing from his throat.
"Halberd Technique: Opening Heaven and Earth!!!"
Boom——!
In an instant, mysterious golden patterns emerged on the black gold dragon-embossed halberd in Chen Tianliang’s hands.
Roar!!!
A dragon roar echoed from the black gold dragon-embossed halberd.
"Die!!!"
Chen Tianliang swung the halberd down hard.
A golden giant dragon with a mighty demeanor, its body like a mountain, surged forth from the dragon-embossed halberd, sending Master Kuimu and the bamboo-hatted man flying.
Boom——!
The two were sent flying a thousand meters, smashing through the city walls, knocked out of Lin’an City by this strike.
"Weak weak weak weak!!"
"With just these skills, you want to kill me, Chen Tianliang?!"
"Come! Keep trying to kill me!!!"
Chen Tianliang, like an Ancient Demon God descending upon the world, his eyes continuously emitted divine light.
Bam!
He lifted his right foot, stomping again in the void.
Bam bam bam~!
Instantly, accompanied by the explosive sound of air currents from rapid movement, Chen Tianliang leaped, chasing after Master Kuimu and the bamboo-hatted man outside the city.
The bamboo-hatted man was instantly horrified, urgently speaking: "This Chen Tianliang is only at True Self Second Layer, how can he be this strong?"
Master Kuimu, with his internal energy fluctuating, couldn’t help but sneer when he heard this.
Nonsense!
If Chen Tianliang weren’t strong, why would I spend so much to hire you?
"Don’t worry, Chen Tianliang has a reversed illness, in about a hundred breaths’ time, the illness will erupt!"
Master Kuimu sneered coldly.
Upon hearing this, the bamboo-hatted man felt slightly relieved, quickly taking out a bottle of pills from his sleeve and gulping them down.
Instantly, his aura greatly increased.
The two charged towards Chen Tianliang again.
