Chapter 368 - 366: The Enraged Lion
The most surprised person was Gu Shengming. Wasn’t this kid being all cocky just now? Who knew whose hands the deer would die in?
Why did he suddenly chicken out?
At that moment, Gu Shengming felt no sense of superiority. After all, in front of everyone, dealing with someone who let him hit with eyes closed was really not interesting.
Seeing Gu Shengming hesitate to strike, Chen Tianlong realized he was holding back and wanted to provoke him. Chen Tianlong clenched his right fist and pulled it back, preparing to throw a punch.
Gu Shengming, being an expert, saw this stance and knew Chen Tianlong intended to attack him. He thought, "Haha, I knew you were up to something, trying to trick me and launch a surprise attack. Dream on!"
Thinking of this, Gu Shengming gathered a certain amount of Powerful Qi and pushed it out with a palm strike.
Gu Shengming considered not hitting too hard. Otherwise, if he killed the kid in front of everyone, no matter how strong the backing of the Situ Family, it wouldn’t be easy to handle.
So when he released his palm strike, Gu Shengming hesitated for a moment and aimed at Chen Tianlong’s right side, avoiding a direct hit to the heart.
But Gu Shengming was overthinking; there was no way Chen Tianlong would be an easy target. He was already prepared to dodge. Gu Shengming’s palm brushed past Chen Tianlong, completely missing him.
However, just because the attack missed Chen Tianlong didn’t mean the Powerful Qi in Gu Shengming’s palm dissipated.
This Powerful Qi surged towards the Lion Spirit Beast behind Chen Tianlong.
The Lion Spirit Beast had been watching the humans fight each other with a smirk. Suddenly it sensed something was off. Being only two meters away, and with Chen Tianlong blocking its view earlier, it couldn’t avoid the energy flying at it.
It could only turn around with all its might, and the energy hit it right on the rear.
"Awooo..."
The Lion Spirit Beast was hit so painfully that it howled like a wolf. It must really hurt because a Spirit Beast wouldn’t typically show such agony.
"Wow!—"
Everyone was astonished. It turned out this young man had extraordinary skills!
He dodged so quickly at such a short distance. More importantly, Gu Shengming’s palm force had hit the lion, resulting in such a terrifying scream.
"Damn it! You actually dodged it. Take another palm from me." Gu Shengming was very frustrated for missing the target earlier, so he quickly launched another palm strike.
"Awoo....."
A scream rang out again, but this time it was different; the Lion Spirit Beast was completely enraged.
The first blow already gave it excruciating pain, although it didn’t suffer serious internal injuries, the pain was real.
It endured for its future, but the next hit made it collapse, forgetting everything, it charged forward.
The charge unleashed the immense strength of the Lion Spirit Beast, displaying its Yellow Dao Samsung prowess.
Such a powerful presence in the Spirit Beast Realm wouldn’t be held by just two ordinary iron chains.
"Clang...."
With a crisp sound, the chains at the feet of the Lion Spirit Beast snapped, and the beast darted forward like an arrow.
It seemed to be rushing towards Chen Tianlong, but actually, it just brushed past him, crashing into Gu Shengming’s chest on the opposite side.
"Boom!" Instantly, Gu Shengming was sent flying backwards. The crowd several meters away quickly moved aside, and he fell five or six meters from where he started.
"Pffft...."
Gu Shengming hit the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. Now he realized his mistake. The lion wasn’t foolish; it was a Spirit Beast and must have understood his words.
At this moment, Guo Jingjing and Situ Nan were both dumbfounded.
"Little Gu....are you okay?" Situ Nan asked worriedly.
"Cough, cough....I’m fine. I was just careless and got beaten up by this beast so miserably!"
Gu Shengming clearly wasn’t convinced. He had intended to cripple Chen Tianlong just now, but now he had angered a beast and got injured by a Cheng Yaojin appearing out of nowhere.
As he spoke, Gu Shengming fumbled in his pocket for a small box, weakly saying, "Young Master Situ, open this box for me and give me a Small Rejuvenation Pill to take."
Such an injury needs a Small Rejuvenation Pill, which should suffice.
Situ Nan didn’t delay. He opened the box and handed a Small Rejuvenation Pill to Gu Shengming as requested. Gu Shengming swallowed it in one go without needing water.
After gathering his Qi for a brief moment, he stood up.
The lion, having knocked him away, calmed down immediately. If an ordinary person were hit, they would have died on the spot. The realization of this made the lion nervous.
Seeing Gu Shengming stand up again, the lion relaxed. If he had died, it might end up locked in a big cage, looking all pitiful.
So, the Lion Spirit Beast decided against attacking Gu Shengming again, fearing it might actually kill him next time and cause itself trouble.
It prepared to turn back, but when passing by Chen Tianlong, it paused and gave him a kind look, as if saying: "You’re quite good, well done!"
The Lion Beast had always wanted to give Gu Shengming a good beating but was afraid of being punished if it hurt someone.
But just now, Chen Tianlong gave it a good chance, and even if the supervisor found out, knowing the reason, they wouldn’t blame it. The lion felt reassured about this.
"Humph, you beast, you hit me and still want to walk away unscratched? Not a chance."
The anger buried in Gu Shengming’s heart had not yet erupted. Now, getting beaten up like this left him not only humiliated but also heavily injured, wasting a Small Rejuvenation Pill.
Although he wasn’t short of money, a Small Rejuvenation Pill costs tens of thousands, with good quality ones going for over a million.
These are Divine Medicines, but if he hadn’t taken one in time, he wouldn’t have had the strength to stand, let alone be so vigorous now.
The Lion Spirit Beast initially thought Gu Shengming might be frightened, but his arrogance and insults intensified, making it turn back immediately and roar. Its gaze was sharp as a cold light, forcing Gu Shengming to take two steps back.
"Little Gu, go at it."
Situ Nan didn’t dare to intervene, but his bodyguard could. Gu Shengming was so strong; he should have won if it weren’t for the sneak attack earlier.
"Okay!"
Gu Shengming stepped forward again, preparing to unleash a big move this time.
Seeing him approaching the Lion Beast, he grew wary and thought, "Lion Beast, is it? Let me show you our Gu Family’s Ultimate Skill, Beast Taming Technique."
That said, Situ Nan crossed his hands, muttering something as if chanting a spell, and suddenly, a Powerful Qi shot out from his crossed hands with a "whoosh."
