Chapter 1134: Thunder Wolf’s Qi Deviation
"What? Demonic Possession."
Thunder Wolf realized his mistake at this moment and looked apologetically at Daoist Taiyi.
"Yes, if I hadn’t promptly sealed your Heart Meridian and released the Powerful Qi, you might have suffered a reverse flow in your meridians, leading to unimaginable consequences," Chen Tianlong said truthfully.
"Thank you."
Thunder Wolf was completely conquered by Chen Tianlong at this point: "Actually, I did that thing."
Thunder Wolf suddenly said, and upon hearing this, Cheng Qianjin rushed over: "What? Are you saying it was you who knocked Xiao He unconscious and brought him here?"
"Yes, it was me."
Thunder Wolf admitted.
"And Hao Kan was my accomplice, all the blame lies with me. I did such a heinous thing to save my father, but fortunately, it didn’t cause irreversible chaos."
At this moment, Hao Kan also heard and cursed inwardly, "You fool, how dare you betray me."
But he still refused to admit, saying, "Thunder Wolf, if you did it, just own up to it and don’t drag me down."
"You..."
Thunder Wolf realized that since Hao Kan refused to confess, he might as well take the blame alone to avoid offending the Hao Family.
Though the Hao Family was just a prominent clan in the Mortal Realm, Thunder Wolf knew they were not simple: "Fine, I did it all by myself, and it has nothing to do with him."
"Hmph, it indeed has nothing to do with me."
Hao Kan glared at Thunder Wolf impatiently, and it was clear to everyone watching that Thunder Wolf was trying to avoid worsening the feud.
Chen Tianlong walked up to Cheng Qianjin and slipped something into his hand, then smiled at Hao Kan, saying, "If you don’t want people to know, better not do it yourself. Do as you see fit."
Cheng Qianjin took the piece of paper, glanced at it, and understood Chen Tianlong’s intention. Just now, everyone had signed at Daoist Taiyi’s place, and by comparing the signatures, the real culprit could be identified.
When Chen Tianlong went to sign earlier, he carefully observed Hao Kan’s handwriting, which gave him certainty.
"Alright, now that it’s come to this, we won’t pursue the matter any further. Let it pass," Daoist Taiyi, the enlightened sage, decided not to delve into the matter further.
At this moment, Hao Kan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Thunder Wolf was the one feeling most troubled now.
If he wasn’t chosen, he couldn’t join the Celestial Pill Sect, participate in trials, or get medicine. Then what would become of his father? Thinking of this gave him a headache.
"Well, it seems the new captain has already emerged."
Daoist Taiyi announced to everyone.
"What?"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and discussions broke out.
"Daoist Taiyi, there are still many people who haven’t competed yet? How could you determine the captain so quickly?"
It was Hao Kan speaking.
"Hao Kan, right? Who else wants to compete?"
Daoist Taiyi looked around and called out, "Who else opposes this Chen Tianlong? He’s so young yet possesses such cultivation, even I couldn’t stop or heal Thunder Wolf, but he did. I am willing to bow down."
After saying this, Daoist Taiyi respectfully bent down, expressing his admiration.
"What? Daoist Taiyi, you mustn’t! I’m just a small fry, unworthy of such responsibility," Chen Tianlong was taken aback; he had never thought of becoming any captain, he just acted out of righteousness to help.
"Hey, Brother Chen Tianlong, don’t be so modest."
Daoist Taiyi said. He was the only sage of the right path in the Celestial Pill Sect and held great respect for talented juniors like Chen Tianlong.
"Yes, indeed."
Everyone agreed with the captain’s statement.
But one person was very dissatisfied, strongly unwilling.
"I don’t agree."
Xu Fei, who had been silent until now, stood up: "Chen Tianlong, I challenge you."
Xu Fei turned to Daoist Taiyi and said, "In that case, Daoist Taiyi, if I defeat Chen Tianlong, can I become captain?"
At this moment, Daoist Taiyi thought about it and felt this person’s narrow-mindedness would surely disrupt the team if he became captain. Yet, refusing him seemed unfair, leading to inner conflict until a voice spoke up.
"Alright, I accept the challenge."
Chen Tianlong confidently stepped forward, knowing Xu Fei’s strength had rapidly improved recently, but he was no slouch either, believing full effort would prevail.
Everyone was taken aback, but then Daoist Taiyi smiled and said, "Since that’s the case, I trust my judgement. Proceed, both of you."
Chen Tianlong slowly walked onto the empty ground, at which point Lin Wushuang smiled at him and gave a cheering gesture, to which he knowingly nodded.
Every time he saw Lin Wushuang cheering for him, Chen Tianlong felt a profound sense of happiness, an inexplicable courage, and a firm determination to win.
With a word "Start," both drew their swords; Xu Fei wielded a bright steel sword, while Chen Tianlong held the Dragon Slayer Sword.
Just judging by the weapons, he had the advantage.
However, Chen Tianlong remained vigilant, as he hadn’t fully grasped Xu Fei’s true power yet, he couldn’t be complacent.
With a soft snort, Xu Fei lunged at Chen Tianlong with one hand holding the sword, while Chen Tianlong also rushed towards Xu Fei, drawing the Dragon Slayer Sword to cut at him.
In an instant, their swords clashed, producing a "cling clang" sound, leaving martial artists nearby stunned.
They initially showed restraint out of respect for Daoist Taiyi, but now seeing Chen Tianlong’s exquisite swordsmanship and peculiar footwork, it was astonishing.
Xu Fei’s swordsmanship seemed unremarkable on the surface, but each move was lethal; Daoist Taiyi and Cheng Qianjin could tell it belonged to the evil sword art category, simple yet inherently dangerous.
As soon as Chen Tianlong’s Dragon Slayer Sword connected with Xu Fei’s sword, he felt uneasy, startled by the bizarre technique.
Indeed, after Xu Kan’s death, Elder Xu took over family affairs, and knowing Xu Fei had consumed the Death God No.3 potion, made a decision.
He took Xu Fei to the Xu Family’s Forbidden Land.
In the Forbidden Land lay an evil secret manual called Heart-Burning Divine Skill. For hundreds of years, none dared to learn it due to its ability to erode people’s mind, leading them into Demon Dao.
But Xu Fei knew his situation; after taking Xu Kan’s Death God No.3 potion, he realized there’s no going back. He belonged to the Undead category; what was there to fear about Demonic Possession?
"These must be Wu Family’s moves."
Chen Tianlong thought, as Xu Fei’s Long Sword suddenly thrust towards him.
Chen Tianlong quickly dodged, leapt up, directly using Dragon Slayer Swordsmanship. Xu Fei hadn’t expected Chen Tianlong to unleash it so soon, secretly rejoicing, "Hmph, let’s see how you fight me without any tricks."
But in an instant, Chen Tianlong’s sword struck through, piercing his foot, arm, and even overhead.
After they landed, a strand of Xu Fei’s long hair slowly floated down with the wind; seeing his hair cut by Chen Tianlong, Xu Fei was immediately enraged.
