Chapter 729 - 727: Finding a Breakthrough
Chen Tianlong planned to find the weakness of the man in black later and subdue him. He didn’t believe there were muscles in the world that were truly like an iron wall.
To Chen Tianlong, the man in black increasingly resembled the legendary Death Warrior, but not entirely so. It seemed as if he was controlled by someone, able to react instantly. In other words, someone was controlling his thoughts at any time, whether to attack or dodge, just like a game player controlling a character.
Chen Tianlong thought that since the person was released by Chu Jingyun, the one who could control the entire man in black must be Chu Jingyun or another old man.
However, it seemed the old man had no influence on the man in black, while a single sentence from Chu Jingyun earlier prompted a response from him.
It was then clear that the real controller of the man in black was Chu Jingyun.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong began to act.
However, he didn’t directly confront the man in black but teamed up with Yang Xinru to attack Chu Jingyun. In this way, Chu Jingyun found himself unprepared.
Chu Jingyun originally wanted to play a little with Yang Xinru, as she was a beautiful woman whom he could tease. But unexpectedly, without a word, the two rushed towards him.
Caught off guard, Chu Jingyun was kicked by Chen Tianlong, and Yang Xinru took the opportunity to strike with her palm. With a "bang", Chu Jingyun was hit and staggered back several steps.
Nonetheless, Chu Jingyun used protective Powerful Qi, so Yang Xinru’s strike did not cause him much harm.
Also, Yang Xinru had no murderous intent from the start, naturally holding back her strength to avoid killing him. Otherwise, even with protective Powerful Qi, she could still cause harm.
"You dare resort to trickery!"
Deceived like this, Chu Jingyun fumed with anger, and he began attacking Chen Tianlong, but Yang Xinru blocked him, leaving him frustrated.
After Yang Xinru retreated, she stood back-to-back with Chen Tianlong. At this moment, Chen Tianlong whispered, "Xinru, try to distract Chu Jingyun later, then I will deal with that man in black."
As he spoke, Chen Tianlong noticed the man in black dashing over. This guy was really troublesome; if they didn’t finish him off quickly, they might not be able to leave tonight.
As for Chu Jingyun and the old man, they weren’t too scary now with Yang Xinru around. If they fought hard, there was still a chance of winning.
Chen Tianlong knew very well his own capabilities. He was only at the Yellow Dao Four Star level, and although he had learned a set of Fist Technique, it seemed he hadn’t mastered it fully, as it had little effect.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong felt that the only solution was to deal with the troublesome guy in front of him. But even so, Chen Tianlong couldn’t be reckless.
Since Young Master Chu controlled the Death Warrior, now that Young Master Chu was busy fighting with Yang Xinru, wouldn’t that mean the Death Warrior lacked precise thinking?
To verify his idea, Chen Tianlong charged head-on, and when he was about to get close, he sidestepped, used acupoint techniques, then struck the vital points on his waist, armpit, and the roots of his legs with full force to see the effect.
In the next moment, however, Chen Tianlong heavily fell to the ground.
This was something he expected. As he lifted his head to look at the man in black who he had grazed past more than once, he seemed just as usual. At this moment, Chen Tianlong finally understood that this was no longer human.
Then, what was directing this living dead’s agile movements?
To say it’s Gu Poison or Maoshan Magic, Chen Tianlong didn’t believe it because such methods would only cause loss of consciousness but wouldn’t offer such agile reactions, as if the person had actual thinking.
Hence, Chen Tianlong felt that the man in black’s body must have some substance maintaining and controlling him.
With this in mind, Chen Tianlong immediately closed his eyes and quickly operated the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique. As to why he operated it so quickly, it was because this would enhance Chen Tianlong’s X-ray vision ability.
At the moment Chen Tianlong closed his eyes, he didn’t dare waste a second, directly scanning the man in black’s entire body for suspicious substances. Of course, it was just in an instant, like a flash of lightning before a fire, quickly scanning the man in black’s entire body.
Finally, when Chen Tianlong’s eyes focused on the high-intensity search, he pinpointed the lower end of the person’s heart, finding something golden and shiny.
Chen Tianlong zoomed in and took a closer look, immediately shocked; it was indeed a high-density integrated chip, with a control indicator light flashing, and Chen Tianlong saw it very clearly.
Otherwise, with something so small, he certainly couldn’t have found it.
"Hmph, so it’s this little thing causing trouble. No wonder its movements are so flexible and thinking is reactive." Chen Tianlong sneered; the handle of the man in black had been found, so next it depended on how Yang Xinru would buy time.
Once he understood the situation, the plan became much clearer.
At this point, Chen Tianlong finally let out a deep breath, relieved. But he knew things were far from over, only just beginning.
So Chen Tianlong performed a Ghost Shadow Step back to Yang Xinru’s side. As for Chu Jingyun, Yang Xinru didn’t originally want to do anything to him. She was merely following Chen Tianlong’s instructions.
Chu Jingyun was somewhat skeptical about Yang Xinru’s actions, but Chen Tianlong, an ordinary person, he would never believe could see the existence of a chip.
Hence, Chu Jingyun sneered contemptuously and said, "You two should stop wasting your effort. Surrender quickly."
"Haha, surrender, to let you capture us to cut our tongues and gouge our eyes? If you want to silence us, isn’t surrendering just tantamount to waiting for death?"
Chen Tianlong sneered and said, "You might have had too many brain-enhancing pills; we haven’t."
"You... Hmph, then don’t blame me for being impolite." Chu Jingyun’s lips curled slightly, preparing to control Death God No. 1 through brainwave resonance, but at that moment, Yang Xinru took action.
She took a retractable crystal rod from her waist, much like the magical girls in cartoons, which was her most commonly used weapon.
"Bang..."
Chu Jingyun was struck on the shoulder by the crystal rod, suddenly feeling an excruciating pain. At this moment, all thoughts of controlling Death God No. 1 were forgotten, and he simply clutched his shoulder, crying out in pain.
"Young Master Chu, are you okay?" Dr. Gao rushed forward with concern after seeing this situation and supported Chu Jingyun, asking anxiously.
"It hurts like hell. Could I be okay? Why don’t you give her a stick and see?" Chu Jingyun deeply inhaled and, with eyes almost spitting fire, angrily said, "You damn woman, just wait; I’ll teach you a lesson!"
Yang Xinru frowned slightly; she didn’t want to hit anyone, but if someone bullied her, she wouldn’t hold back. She immediately operated the Heart Method Mantra, instantly showcasing the strength of Yellow Dao Six Star, causing Chu Jingyun to leap in fright.
Previously, he knew her strength wasn’t weak, as seen from the fluctuation of her Powerful Qi, but he hadn’t expected that she possessed Yellow Dao Six Star power.
