Chapter 1168: Joining Forces Against the Enemy
So, Chen Tianlong’s brain was running at full speed, hoping he could think of a better solution. But he was also thinking about another matter, which was why Hao Shuai hadn’t appeared yet, wasn’t it already agreed upon?
Could something have happened?
Just as he was deeply pondering, Kang Tailin began to attack again. At the same time as releasing over a dozen flying darts, he flew into the air himself, swung his long spear, and struck fiercely towards Chen Tianlong.
Celestial Dao Seven Stars!
With just this move, Chen Tianlong finally saw Kang Tailin’s strength.
If it were under normal circumstances, Celestial Dao Seven Stars wouldn’t worry Chen Tianlong, but this person’s skills were simply too powerful, and the hidden weapons too bizarre, leaving him no opportunity to attack.
Seeing Kang Tailin come right at him, Chen Tianlong had no choice but to block for a while. But as soon as the Dragon Slayer Sword extended outward, there was a "snap" sound, and Kang Tailin fell to the ground, rolling over.
At this moment, Kang Tailin, spitting blood, turned back in surprise.
"How is this possible?"
Kang Tailin couldn’t believe his eyes, because standing not far behind him was the Hao Shuai from the castle who had been burned.
"So dumb and still so arrogant. We’ve known your identity for a long time, just intentionally luring you out." Hao Shuai began to sneer mockingly to let Kang Tailin die with some understanding.
"What?"
Kang Tailin was extremely surprised. He thought he was flawless, and had been acting since the moment they entered the ancient castle. How could they have seen through it, he couldn’t quite believe as he said, "When did you find out?"
"Chen Tianlong, you explain it, my logic isn’t very good, can’t say clearly." Hao Shuai deliberately said.
Chen Tianlong was speechless, your logic isn’t good, more like you’re setting me up.
However, Chen Tianlong didn’t shirk, dusting off the dirt on his clothes, he said: "You had too many suspicious points. First, you claim to be a shepherd here, but this is a trial ground, there can’t be regular people shepherding here. Second, you said your whole family was killed, yet you always wear a smile, tell me, who could laugh with such a big revenge unavenged?"
"Just on these, you could guess me? That’s really quite fortunate."
Clearly, Kang Tailin said with a bit of disdain.
"Hehe, don’t rush, there’s more, the knife wound on your hand, was it bitten by a sheep? Obviously practiced throwing knives so it came, and the castle has no exit, the walls so high, can ordinary people still come? And besides you, I can’t think of anyone else who could have thrown flying knives at Hao Shuai."
Chen Tianlong calmly provided the most critical answer.
"Seems you really underestimated you all, but what difference does it make? I can still avenge my brother." Kang Tailin said dismissively.
But before Kang Tailin could act, Chen Tianlong drew the Dragon Slayer Sword, its blade flashing with a cold light under the moonlit night.
"Hold on! Chen Tianlong, let me handle this, it’s my task, I want to complete it alone."
Hao Shuai suddenly said.
"I’m joining!"
Du Nong also spoke up at this moment, though his Divination Divine Power was broken, his body somewhat injured, and movement wasn’t very convenient, but it was not a big deal.
"Du, you’re injured, consider this assisting me. Let me handle this battle." Hao Shuai was always competitive, thinking that if Chen Tianlong could complete it, why couldn’t he.
Chen Tianlong and Du Nong saw Hao Shuai’s determination and could only let him go: "Then be careful, if it’s not possible, give me a yell." Chen Tianlong said with a bitter smile.
"Hmph, in my Hao Shuai’s eyes, there’s nothing impossible." Hao Shuai gritted his teeth, showing a defiance that was full of the spirit of a warrior ready to die.
After speaking, Hao Shuai walked up to Kang Tailin and drew his long sword. It was a remarkable swordsmanship from the Celestial Pill Sect, called Cyan Dragon Swordsmanship. Silent and shapeless like shadow, and the sword qi quickly flew towards Kang Tailin.
Under normal circumstances, in the Mortal Realm, people don’t use swords, it’s the 21st century, who’s still using swords? But this is a trial, where one encounters many Ancient Martial Cultivators. So Hao Shuai, being so clever, certainly learned a sword technique ahead of time for self-defense, after all, he’s the Third Elder of the Celestial Pill Sect.
Kang Tailin saw this offensive, immediately leaped up, suspended in mid-air, and then with a "whoosh," an weapon flashed between his hands, it was the Vajra Divine Spear.
He quickly spun the Divine Spear, blocking Hao Shuai’s sword qi.
Then came hundreds of flying darts flying out of him, like meteors. Instantly shooting at Hao Shuai, who quickly spun to evade the darts.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong was just about to help, but was stopped by Hao Shuai. Seeing his determination, Chen Tianlong had no reason to stop him... because this is a cultivator’s dignity.
"Haha.... with your little skill, you can’t even kill me, you’d better save your energy! My darts are poisoned, as long as you’re hit by one of my shots, you won’t escape death."
Kang Tailin laughed and said, "Didn’t expect your sword technique was just so-so."
The next moment, Hao Shuai really got angry, this was a blatant disdain.
He stood up and used his ultimate move, originally intended for Chen Tianlong, unexpectedly they became teammates, no choice.
"Sword Roar of Nine Heavens!" Hao Shuai spent all his Powerful Qi, swiftly charging at Kang Tailin, flashing by with a "whoosh," and Kang Tailin fell to the ground.
"Didn’t expect you to use this move, to kill is first to harm oneself. It’s all my carelessness." With that, Kang Tailin fell into a pool of blood, dead beyond dead.
When Hao Shuai steadied himself, he also spat out blood, then fell to the ground.
Chen Tianlong quickly went over, without saying a word and ignoring any grudges before, hurriedly infused Powerful Qi into his back. A few minutes later, Chen Tianlong took out a silver needle, quickly using Li’s Acupuncture technique, stabbing several points on Hao Shuai’s meridians.
Then, he infused Powerful Qi again.
After a while, Hao Shuai finally woke up, but his heart was turbulent, suddenly with a "puff," he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Chen Tianlong’s furrowed brow finally relaxed.
Because the accumulated blood inside Hao Shuai’s body had been timely forced out by him, he was out of danger, just needed to rest for a night and he’d be fine.
"Alright, let him rest for a while." Chen Tianlong said, taking a deep breath.
"Oh? Young Master Hao is fine?"
Clearly, Du Nong was very surprised, previously when Chen Tianlong healed him, he thought it was just luck. But now with Hao Shuai’s internal injuries healed in such a short time, isn’t this a Divine Doctor?
"Yes, it’s fine, all the accumulated blood within him is out, resting for one night should be enough." Chen Tianlong didn’t boast, tomorrow is the final day, he didn’t want any mishaps.
So, Du Nong supported Hao Shuai, Chen Tianlong took the three young ladies, heading to the final area. With the completion of their task, after the castle collapsed, a massive Teleportation Gate appeared.
The six of them collectively stepped into the Teleportation Gate, feeling a sense of victory calling them, the final challenge was a collaborative effort by everyone, no difficulty seemed daunting.
