Chapter 614 - 612: Tianlong’s Plan
Chen Tianlong stood at a distance, watching the two whispering, feeling speechless, because every word they said reached his ears without missing a beat.
However, Chen Tianlong frowned. As a cultivator whose strength had been exposed, being taken in like this was certainly a danger, so to enter openly like this, he would have to sacrifice something.
From their words, it was clear that the sacrifice would be abolishing his cultivation.
For ordinary people, having their cultivation abolished would be an extremely painful price, but for Chen Tianlong, it was not the same.
Peng Wanli walked towards Chen Tianlong, then sneered coldly, "Kid, you’ve offended our Earth Dragon people, you should know the consequences, right? Will you abolish your own cultivation, or shall I help you with that?"
Looking at Chen Tianlong’s Yellow Dao Four-Star strength, Peng Wanli was somewhat disdainful. You must know that even masters of the same level might not be his opponents, let alone Chen Tianlong, who was of a lower level. Wanting to crush him was simply effortless.
So, Peng Wanli’s words bore an irresistible threat. In nature, the fittest survive, and in the human realm, the victor is king.
"Oh, Earth Dragon? What is this Earth Dragon thing, can you eat it?" Chen Tianlong pretended not to know anything about Earth Dragon.
"Damn! Are you insulting our Earth Dragon? Kid, you’re dead; you don’t even know Earth Dragon, you deserve death."
Wang Tao was somewhat exasperated. In L Town, who doesn’t know their Earth Dragon’s fame, a group the police can’t touch, how many people are terrified by just hearing their name, and this kid doesn’t know them.
"Oh, is Earth Dragon famous? I’m not a local." Chen Tianlong glared at the two of them and then said, "Okay, I need to rest now. You two best get out!!"
"Whoa, quite the tough guy, just don’t be begging for mercy later." Wang Tao sneered coldly.
"Screw you."
Before Wang Tao could react, Chen Tianlong kicked him in the stomach, knocking him back in an instant and crashing into the distant wall.
The hotel’s decoration was decent; the wall was quite sturdy, otherwise, it wouldn’t have withstood this crash.
Peng Wanli was taken aback, hurriedly ran back to support Wang Tao, and then worriedly asked, "Fourth Brother, are you okay?"
"Cough cough... I’m fine. Wanli, help me abolish this kid’s cultivation, let’s see how arrogant he can still be."
Wang Tao was very furious, and Chen Tianlong’s move was to infuriate them, making them fully believe it wasn’t intentional. Once they let their guard down, Chen Tianlong could safely accomplish his goal.
"Alright."
Peng Wanli was a little sincere by nature, so if Chen Tianlong wasn’t too ruthless, he also wouldn’t have the heart to abolish someone’s cultivation, as it was almost as severe as killing them.
You should know, once an Ancient Martial Cultivator loses their power, they are weaker than ordinary people, with no strength in their hands or feet, and even living as an ordinary person requires adapting for a period of time.
At this moment, Peng Wanli had already approached Chen Tianlong. He gathered energy with both hands in front, fully displaying his Yellow Dao Five-Star power.
"Kid, you forced me; I didn’t want to abolish your cultivation, but since you injured my Fourth Brother just now, you have to be punished. Take this!" With that, Peng Wanli struck out with a straight punch.
Those who’ve played King of Fighters know that although a straight punch seems simple, when practiced to a certain level, it becomes incredibly powerful, and is a very focused type of fist technique.
Chen Tianlong dared not underestimate it. Although his plan was to let the opponent reward him, even his meridians might be damaged, akin to a cripple, but if he was defeated in one move, it would easily arouse suspicion.
"Boom!"
Instead of taking Peng Wanli’s straight punch directly, Chen Tianlong dodged to the side, causing Peng Wanli’s fist to hit the wardrobe next to him, shattering it to pieces on the ground.
"Kid, if you’ve got guts, don’t run!"
Peng Wanli was very frustrated, not worrying much about this person’s strength, but indeed, the speed was fast, and even for someone of his level, it was a bit hard to keep up.
But precisely because of this, Peng Wanli’s fighting spirit was further aroused. In L Town, other than his big brother and the third, there was basically no one who could beat him.
Rarely encountered opponents, now this kid could easily dodge his attacks, it was a great insult.
"..." Chen Tianlong was speechless for a moment. Why did all the formidable enemies seem to treat their opponents as idiots? Knowing you can’t win, I still wouldn’t run, am I stupid?
However, Chen Tianlong was playing the role of a weaker opponent, so he could only act foolish this once. Otherwise, if you chase me while I run, it might take until dawn to catch me.
So, after coldly smiling, Chen Tianlong directly turned the passive into active, making a 360-degree turn, and launched a flying kick.
Peng Wanli was in close chase, suddenly startled by Chen Tianlong’s unexpected turn, quickly jumped back, barely dodging Chen Tianlong’s attack. However, Yellow Dao Five-Star wasn’t just for show; his recovery power was quite strong and reaction swift. Without delay, he swayed forward and struck a gut punch at Chen Tianlong’s dantian.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Chen Tianlong flew backward, not because he couldn’t dodge, but rather intentionally.
Only in this way, could his plan go smoothly, which was within his expectations. Earlier, he avoided the straight punch, not letting Peng Wanli hit directly, for a reason.
First, if he was defeated from the beginning, it would only raise one question, that he was too weak. Given this weakness, why was Wang Tao so easily overpowered by him? There might be doubts.
Secondly, Chen Tianlong wanted to gauge this person’s ultimate strength and measure how much Powerful Qi would be needed to protect his Divine Vein; as for other meridians, Chen Tianlong wasn’t too worried.
Evidently, although the previous attack seemed severe, Chen Tianlong’s dantian and Divine Vein were protected; although many meridians were damaged, he could be seen as half-crippled, rather than fully.
"Pfft!"
After feeling a surge at his chest, Chen Tianlong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. It had been a long time since he felt this way, almost forgetting what it tasted like.
"Humph, you brought this upon yourself, injuring my Earth Dragon people. Usually, we’d kill you, but you’ve got some use left. This time, I’ll just cripple you, then decide after taking you back."
After speaking, Peng Wanli took a quick step forward and palmed towards Chen Tianlong’s chest. Chen Tianlong knew what he intended, but this was what he wanted.
Facing Peng Wanli’s fierce Palm Wind, Chen Tianlong hurriedly stood up and matched him with a palm, deliberately suppressing his strength to make the opponent slightly superior.
However, he still managed to control the damage he received, protecting his vital areas.
