Chapter 1046 - 1045: Dual Swords United
"Chen Tianlong, you’re really nice."
Jian Wanli said, somewhat touched. Although the two had stumbled into a relationship, it was destiny. Without fate, she wouldn’t have met Chen Tianlong.
"Heh, I’ve always been nice."
Chen Tianlong momentarily forgot himself, narcissistically responding.
"Cough cough..."
Li Bingshuang couldn’t stand it anymore and directly reminded him. Deep down, she was blaming him in every way possible, thinking about how she helped Chen Tianlong marry a wife, feeling like she’d die of frustration now.
Chen Tianlong glanced back and, seeing Li Bingshuang’s murderous look, immediately understood and quickly said, "Alright, let’s go have a look at why those people are being so reckless."
Just then, a white figure flashed by, like it descended from the heavens, landing in the circle surrounded by the crowd.
"My uncle is here, excellent. With him here, let’s see what Xiao Jianteng can do?" Jian Wanli felt much more at ease upon seeing Jian Tianqi arrive.
"Oh, so your uncle is that formidable? Then I don’t have to worry anymore." Chen Tianlong said this, but he had already gathered his Powerful Qi. If the two senior members couldn’t handle Xiao Jianteng, he’d have to step in.
As long as he makes his move promptly, and with the help of the two seniors, Xiao Jianteng is likely to be defeated.
"Hmm, let’s hurry over." Without saying much, Jian Wanli led several people over.
Xiao Jianteng smirked coldly, not taking these two brothers seriously at all. Even without him stepping in, perhaps his three henchmen would be enough to handle them.
He waved his hand, signaling his men to make a move. After seeing Xiao Jianteng’s command, the three drew their swords and charged forward.
Meanwhile, the archers hadn’t released their arrows because Jian Wuming and Jian Tianqi were among them. Without their order, no one dared to act rashly.
The reason Jian Wuming ordered the archers to come was just to buy time. In reality, they were just for show. Now that the objective was achieved, and his big brother Jian Tianqi had arrived, those people could only prepare for defense, useless otherwise.
"Hmph, don’t think just because you’ve got reinforcements you can stop me. You’re underestimating me, Xiao Jianteng." With that, Xiao Jianteng revealed his strength, causing Jian Wuming and Jian Tianqi to furrow their brows. The power of Celestial Dao’s five stars is somewhat difficult to contend with, but it remained to be seen if Xiao Jianteng was truly at five star level.
Moreover, his three henchmen were also quite troublesome; if it were only Xiao Jianteng, it would be much simpler.
"Stop talking, let’s find out." Jian Tianqi, being quick to act, exchanged a glance with the nearby Jian Wuming, and the two swiftly launched their attack.
Seeing this, Xiao Jianteng hurriedly retreated two steps. He wouldn’t act rashly unless necessary, as his father had warned him that once Celestial Dao’s five-star power was revealed, it would attract trouble. Although any trouble could be resolved by his father, avoiding complications is always preferable.
"Get them," Xiao Jianteng immediately waved his hand, and his three subordinates dashed forward. Their strength wasn’t weak either; three against two would still allow them to control the situation.
After a brief skirmish, the Sword Family brothers suddenly united their Dual Swords in perfect harmony. When the two swords collided, they unleashed a powerful Sword Qi from their tips, knocking the three opponents to the ground, dealing significant injuries.
Xiao Jianteng was shocked; he never expected these two brothers to possess such a sword technique, merging to unleash such formidable power, nearly rivaling his own.
However, in Xiao Jianteng’s eyes, their strength was still somewhat lacking compared to his. While a significant portion of his strength was bluff, he was still a master at the five-star Celestial Dao level. Most importantly, Xiao Jianteng was wise and strategic; otherwise, he wouldn’t have possessed the Dragon Slayer Sword.
He realized that their victory was due to executing a coordinated sword technique, defeating his three subordinates. To defeat them easily, he’d need to separate them and attempt to injure one.
At that moment, he spotted Jian Wuming’s daughter, Jian Wanli, among the crowd, and a wicked smile flickered across his face. Pretending to challenge them with his sword, the Sword Family brothers focused their attention entirely on Xiao Jianteng, ignoring the surrounding people. Seeing him ready, with energy charged, the brothers immediately executed Dragon Double Flying Form.
"Take this," Jian Wuming uttered with a low hum, followed by a rapid charge.
Whoosh!
Xiao Jianteng vanished; despite being at the second Celestial Dao strength, he was incredibly fast. Previously fleeing, he hadn’t used his full strength, but now he had no choice.
Jian Wuming realized something was amiss and quickly glanced to the left, finding his daughter Jian Wanli right nearby.
"Not good, daughter, watch out!" Just as he said this, Xiao Jianteng was already beside Jian Wanli, intending to take her hostage. However, as his sword reached Jian Wanli, he discovered it being held firmly by a hand on the blade.
Xiao Jianteng was astounded; with how swift his sword was, how could anyone possibly grasp it? But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Chen Tianlong.
This kid is really peculiar; despite being at three-star Celestial Dao level, how could he catch his sword? And foolishly so, with blood continuously dripping from his hand.
In fact, even Chen Tianlong himself was uncertain why, but when Jian Wanli was in danger, he instinctively reached out to stop it. Whether she was going to be killed or kidnapped, Chen Tianlong simply didn’t want Jian Wanli to be harmed.
Even he doubted himself; was this play becoming a reality, had he actually become someone’s husband?
"Chen Tianlong, quickly let go!" Li Bingshuang’s heart ached, seeing Chen Tianlong behaving so foolishly; he dared to take such a risky action, leaving her speechless.
"Ah? Oh." Chen Tianlong casually unleashed the Furious Dragon Fist Fourth Form with his palm, unexpectedly landing a critical hit and frightening Xiao Jianteng, but his purpose was to separate the Sword Family brothers.
Jian Wuming, anxious for his daughter’s safety, rushed back but found Xiao Jianteng had returned to his obvious position.
"Heh, fell into the trap, didn’t you?" He didn’t wield his sword, instead delivering a blow to Jian Wuming’s chest. Facing a five-star Celestial Dao opponent as a three-star, Jian Wuming’s injury was inevitable.
"Urgh!" In his haste to save his daughter, Jian Wuming lacked preparedness and suffered a palm strike from Xiao Jianteng, spitting blood and apparently severely injured.
Upon seeing the dire situation, Jian Tianqi was immediately alarmed, urgently wielding his sword. But given his weakened state, how could he possibly defeat Xiao Jianteng? After a few rounds, he was also knocked away, landing to one side, spitting blood. The brothers were vanquished in defeat.
"Haha, just a small scheme, and I’ve shattered your Sword Array. You’re pathetically weak," Xiao Jianteng said arrogantly, then glancing at the Dragon Slayer Sword in his other hand, continued, "Alright, I’ve had enough playing. There’s no helping it; you can’t stop me. I’ll have to take the Dragon Slayer Sword with me."
