Chapter 369 - 367: The Gu Family’s Secret Technique
In the daytime, this powerful Qi appears very vague, invisible to ordinary people’s naked eyes. Even when occasionally seen, it appears fleeting, like a shadow.
Of course, Chen Tianlong can see it very clearly. His cultivation technique is superior, largely because of this.
Others can’t see it, but he can.
This resembles an Illusion Technique Heart Method. It’s unknown what background this person has to serve the Situ Family, willingly being a mere bodyguard.
Appearing before Chen Tianlong and the Lion Spirit Beast now is a golden dragon. With a thunderous roar, the Lion Beast instantly kneels on the ground unconsciously.
What kind of intimidation is this?
To possess such power.
Chen Tianlong was also greatly surprised, although he felt nothing himself. This might only affect beasts.
There was another person who could see the scene clearly, Wu Mengting. She was also very surprised why she could see it when the surrounding people couldn’t.
Judging by their composed expressions, they clearly hadn’t seen anything. Otherwise, seeing such a golden dragon without reacting seems scientifically implausible.
After the Lion Beast kneeled, Gu Shengming grew arrogant, walked to the Lion Beast, and slapped its waist, instantly knocking it down.
However, as a beast, with tough skin and thick flesh, it soon got up again. But the Lion Beast felt dizzy, remaining unclear.
This Beast Taming Technique is powerful just because of this. Once unleashed, nine out of ten spirit beasts become confused, entering a three-minute dazed condition, with limbs weak and mind fuzzy.
After several slaps, Gu Shengming realized it had little effect on the Lion Beast. He thought about it, grew angry over the earlier incident, figuring it’s just an animal — killing wouldn’t matter, at worst compensating some money.
He glanced around, intending to strike the Lion Beast’s head, killing it outright.
As Gu Shengming began to act, a powerful Qi gathered in his palm, intending one strike to kill the Lion Beast.
When Gu Shengming’s hand was about to touch the Lion Beast, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, as a strong arm tightly grasped his.
"Lion, wake up and run quickly!" Chen Tianlong, although strong, faced a formidable Ancient Martial Cultivator adversary, with matched strength and power as his.
However, Chen Tianlong sensed the opponent’s arm strength was weak, implying they hadn’t practiced much real combat or cultivation, relying on elixir-enhanced power. Normally, Yellow Dao three-star experts have proportional strength, with power reflecting their skill level.
Given Chen Tianlong’s Yellow Dao three-star strength, he wouldn’t normally grasp Situ Nan’s arm. Their power should be equally matched.
But, this time, Chen Tianlong managed to seize it.
Two reasons are: firstly, training since childhood with his master Ye Feng, honing arm and grip strength, thus his power surpassed ordinary ancient martial cultivators greatly.
Secondly, Gu Shengming had gained non-standard Yellow Dao three-star power with poor combat ability, resulting in mismatched power.
After about two minutes of struggle, Gu Shengming finally escaped Chen Tianlong’s grasp, flinging him aside, then raised his hand again to kill the Lion Spirit Beast.
"Roar....."
A colossal roar startled everyone around, causing the just-raised hand of Gu Shengming to suddenly be blasted backwards. This time, it was seemingly more severe than before.
"Boom....."
A small pit formed on the ground, with Gu Shengming lying motionless inside, pale-faced and vomiting blood constantly.
Seems he might be near death.
Situ Nan was stunned seeing this, but aware enough to remember the vial Gu Shengming gave him still in his pocket.
Thinking of this, Situ Nan quickly searched Gu Shengming’s pocket, finding the bottle still inside. Opening it promptly, seeing five pills left.
Situ Nan poured all five Small Rejuvenation Pills into Gu Shengming’s mouth, pressed lightly on his throat, heard a "gulp" as the medicine went down.
At this moment, the Lion Beast clearly enraged, seeing Gu Shengming nearly dead, considering finishing him to avoid repercussions.
Considering this, the Lion Spirit Beast roared again and charged towards Gu Shengming.
Initially relieved, as Gu Shengming took five Small Rejuvenation Pills, Situ Nan thought a period of recovery could prevent serious harm.
But in the blink of an eye, he saw the Lion Beast charging, causing instant alarm, guessing its intentions. Hastily, he grabbed Gu Shengming, fleeing quickly.
Leaving Guo Jingjing standing by, stunned.
The Lion Beast felt somewhat frustrated, hoping to finish the man, but didn’t expect him to vanish so swiftly.
Situ Nan darted away, legs weakened in fear. Knowing the Lion Beast easily overpowered Gu Shengming, an ancient martial expert, meant certain doom for him as well.
Soon after, Situ Nan placed Gu Shengming in the car’s backseat, started quickly, and sped away.
As for Guo Jingjing, Situ Nan had put her out of mind, prioritizing swiftly getting Gu Shengming to hospital for treatment to avoid explaining to his father in case of death.
Not a mere bodyguard, seemingly a relative too.
Chen Tianlong watched Situ Nan flee with his bodyguard, chuckling bitterly.
Events unfolded suddenly, using others’ strength, defeating the unexpected expert despite no personal effort. Internal delight at such fortune was uncontainable.
The Lion Beast failed to catch Situ Nan, feeling frustrated, began heading back. Beneath that tree was its rightful place.
Anticipating consequences for creating such commotion, including possible cold neglect. With a sense of dismay, realizing its temper hadn’t changed.
Yet, passing Chen Tianlong, it stopped. Previously discovering a treasure, unused until now. Chen Tianlong had helped vent its anger.
Though utilized well, it felt happy overall.
Thus deciding to gift the treasure to Chen Tianlong.
The Lion Beast approached Chen Tianlong, growling softly. Chen Tianlong paused, seemingly understanding, then surprised, pointed at himself, asking, "Looking for me?"
