Chapter 487 - 485: Returning to the Back Mountain
Therefore, Chen Tianlong climbed over the high wall from the side, successfully evading the surveillance cameras.
He didn’t head to the Hao Family’s main villa but went straight to the back mountain. His purpose was simple: he wanted to find out the differences between the two jade pendants and see if the one he had was a high-quality counterfeit. After all, this was his only clue, and once it was cut off, he would have no more chances.
As for the treasure chest, Chen Tianlong knew it was placed in a small house. This time, he wasn’t planning to simply view it but to borrow it.
More precisely, to steal it, figure things out, and then return it.
Just like that night, there wasn’t a soul in sight here, and the array that was there before, Chen Tianlong had already experienced it and should have broken through it.
As expected, Chen Tianlong went straight ahead without any accidents.
However, it was precisely this that made Chen Tianlong feel uneasy. Could it be that the Hao Family had no defenses at all?
"Whizz, whizz, whizz!"
Suddenly, dozens of darts shot at him from all directions with incredible speed.
Chen Tianlong rolled into the grass and, after a few rounds of dodging, finally escaped the danger. It was only then that he noticed three people standing ahead.
"Humph, Chen Tianlong, you’re really bold. You came to my house in the middle of the night yesterday and knocked my father out. Now you still dare to trespass on our back mountain. Today, you’ve entered our Mo Family, so don’t dream of leaving alive."
Hearing about his father’s incident in the morning and finding out that someone had entered the Mo Family’s back mountain, Young Master Mo questioned his sister Mo Xue and, based on her description, guessed that the person was Chen Tianlong.
Therefore, early in the morning, he installed surveillance cameras on the Mo Family’s back mountain to prevent that guy from coming again and disturbing the two grandfathers.
The crucial thing was that the four and five brothers of the Celestial Martial Sect jointly descended the mountain, stating they wanted to avenge Profound Void, planning to go together to settle accounts with Tianshu Manor.
The Celestial Martial Sect had a purpose in sending down these two experts, as both had the strength of Yellow Dao four stars, permitted by the Cultivator Association.
After all, Sect Leader Zhou Bin was no reckless person and understood the rules of the Cultivator Association, fearing that if he randomly assigned orders, he would face sanctions, implicating the entire sect.
This time, descending the mountain were Fifth Brother Xuan Jing and Fourth Brother Profound Celestial. Both had the strength of Yellow Dao four stars, but that wasn’t the key factor; each possessed their ultimate skills.
"So it’s you!"
Chen Tianlong angrily glared at Mo Shaoyun, then looked at the two strange men standing around. His eyebrows furrowed, seeing Mo Shaoyun act so arrogantly in his presence, indicating that these two were not simple.
"Humph, Chen Tianlong, there’s a path to heaven, but you refuse to take it. There’s no door to hell, yet you insist on breaking in. We were planning to find you ourselves, but you came to us; today is your death day."
With that, Mo Shaoyun waved his hand, signaling the two Celestial Martial Sect experts to attack.
Xuan Jing and Profound Celestial glanced at Chen Tianlong and immediately displayed contempt. How powerful could this little guy be? They had heard from Mo Chou that this kid had become an Ancient Martial Cultivator, seemingly at Yellow Dao three stars.
Given that, the two of them, both four stars, dealing with him seemed a bit excessive, so they spoke brazenly, "Fifth Brother, you play with him first. I’ll watch from the side."
Saying so, they took out a pack of cigarettes from their pockets, casually took one out, threw one to Mo Shaoyun, and stood leisurely aside after lighting up.
"Young Master Mo, how many moves do you think it will take Fifth Brother to handle this guy?" Profound Celestial started betting with Mo Shaoyun. In his eyes, Chen Tianlong was already a dead man.
"It shouldn’t take more than ten moves, right?"
Mo Shaoyun had some understanding of Chen Tianlong and felt this guy had some skills. Before becoming an Ancient Martial Cultivator, he could already contend for a while with Uncle Hao Dahai, not to be underestimated.
"Ha, Young Master Mo, you’re joking, right? This guy can withstand ten moves?" Profound Celestial laughed derisively, showing immense disdain. "I think, at most, three moves."
"Wow, Brother Xuan Jing is so impressive. I have to keep my eyes open and watch closely." Mo Shaoyun agreed, and the two chatted while watching the ensuing performance.
Chen Tianlong listened to their conversation, speechless.
Why did it feel as if he was being toyed with? These two appeared to be bystanders.
"Alright, no time for your nonsense, I have to go ask the two seniors something." Chen Tianlong completely ignored their mockery and continued forward.
Xuan Jing had been rolling up his sleeves, preparing to thoroughly crush Chen Tianlong, but didn’t expect him to completely disregard them, instantly infuriating him.
"Brat, seems like you’ve had enough of living." With that, Xuan Jing pressed his body down, like a male dog in heat, and charged toward Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong had barely stepped forward when he sensed a strong gust of wind from behind.
Yellow Dao four stars, having just dealt with one, and now another, how troublesome. But this wasn’t a wild mountain where Reverse Force would be useless, especially with two people watching around.
With this thought for a second, a sly smile suddenly appeared on Chen Tianlong’s lips.
A flick of his hand revealed three silver needles. At this moment, he focused to see if he could unleash the Soul-Stealing Nine Needles. The second move of the Soul-Stealing Three Needles wasn’t always possible; there was a certain probability, perhaps because his body had undergone Bone Marrow Cleansing, but he still lacked a crucial opportunity.
Chen Tianlong didn’t quite understand either, just always felt something was missing.
The three silver needles flicked from Chen Tianlong’s hand, swift as lightning.
Xuan Jing, initially thinking he could defeat Chen Tianlong with a single punch, was stunned at this moment. He never imagined this brat could unleash such a fierce hidden weapon.
Most importantly, it was clearly three silver needles, how did it suddenly become three times that, nine needles, truly bizarre.
However, Xuan Jing was no easy target, even if he was a Yellow Dao four-star Ancient Martial Cultivator who had trained hard, this Soul-Stealing Nine Needles, though swift, wasn’t a significant threat to him.
After three continuous backflips, he finally dodged the wide spread of silver needles.
Standing firm, Xuan Jing felt some lingering fear. He had intended to subdue this guy in one move, but unexpectedly, he didn’t even touch his opponent’s clothing and was forced to dodge clumsily.
Meanwhile, Mo Shaoyun and Profound Celestial were also left dumbfounded.
At this moment, Profound Celestial hesitated and shouted, "Fifth Brother, how are you doing? Need my help?"
"Senior Brother, no need, it hasn’t even begun yet." Concerned about his dignity, Xuan Jing didn’t want to admit such a disgraceful thing, shook himself off, and started prepping for another attack.
Chen Tianlong was quite satisfied with his earlier move, never expecting the Soul-Stealing Nine Needles to trigger so easily. It seemed that his second senior sister hadn’t tricked him; indeed, after Bone Marrow and Bone Cutting, the second move was achievable.
As for how the third move worked, Chen Tianlong wasn’t sure yet, but he was quite excited. Imagine three silver needles transforming into twenty-seven, what a spectacular scene!
"Brat, don’t get too cocky yet, the real show is still to come, just wait and see!" Xuan Jing coldly glared at Chen Tianlong.
"What a tiptoeing, just fight if you want to, don’t dawdle."
Chen Tianlong despised those who just talked without action. If you’re gonna show off, let your opponent concede, then you can show off by stepping on them.
"You... very good, you’ve successfully angered me, prepare to die." Completely infuriated, Xuan Jing hurriedly stood up, then with fists forward, suddenly crouched as if defecating.
