Chapter 791 - 789: Gang Beating
"Move!"
With Xuan Yu’s command, thirty people charged forward simultaneously.
This scene reminded Chen Tianlong of the time he first came to school and battled Xu Tianlong. To think, half a year later, he would have to experience a similar fight, but this was evidently an upgraded version.
Most of these people were practitioners. Though they were low-level, they were far stronger than ordinary people in terms of speed and power.
And Chen Tianlong only had three silver needles left. Having just perfected them once, he wasn’t sure what the odds would be this time.
Without a doubt, Chen Tianlong used the Soul-Stealing Three Needles again, but this time, it didn’t transform into twenty-seven, but nine needles.
A few managed to dodge, perhaps because Young Master Hao had forewarned them, making them cautious.
The rest were over twenty people wielding machetes, still charging forward.
"Slash this guy to death, avenge our brothers Ye Xiong!" These twenty or so people were mostly brothers from the Celestial Wolf Gang, knowing that their brothers Ye Xiong had been turned into vegetative states by Chen Tianlong, they harbored hatred, eager to kill him.
Seeing this, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath. He originally didn’t want to kill so many, but these people were aggressive.
"Very well, you asked for this!"
Chen Tianlong sneered coldly, glaring at them fiercely.
Just that one glare made the charging crowd come to a halt, some hesitating.
"Go on!"
Xuan Yu was still waiting for an opportunity to strike but didn’t expect this group to stop before Chen Tianlong, feeling frustrated.
Upon hearing this, everyone mustered their courage and charged again.
Chen Tianlong put away his smile, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand; once the crowd got closer, Chen Tianlong made his move.
Like a flash of lightning, more like a leopard seeking prey, he dashed through the crowd, the dagger swiftly slashing each person’s arm, even their calves.
At the very last moment, Chen Tianlong still refrained from killing these people. They were innocent, the real culprit was Young Master Hao. He had no need to take so many innocent lives.
"Awo~"
A series of screams arose, and many dropped their knives, many knelt down, clutching their calves and covering their wrists.
"I don’t want to kill you, just want you to understand, you’re not my match. If you want to survive, stay put and don’t move." Chen Tianlong warned again.
Upon hearing this, the crowd calmed down, those who weren’t injured also retreated a few steps.
"Attack!" Xuan Yu couldn’t find a chance to strike at all, and even though he was a Yellow Dao Seventh Star, having heard from Young Master Hao that Chen Tianlong wasn’t easy to handle, he knew he needed to find the right opportunity to deal a killing blow.
The remaining dozen able-bodied people took a deep breath, ready to attack.
Chen Tianlong threw the dagger to the ground, then closed his eyes: "Alright, if you’re really not afraid to die, I’ll grant you that wish."
Seeing Chen Tianlong drop his weapon and close his eyes, the crowd hesitated for a moment. Perhaps it was some iron order from Young Master Hao, they hesitated briefly, then charged like fearless warriors of the Red Army.
"Sigh..."
Chen Tianlong sighed, he didn’t use the dagger, worried that once he acted, it would be too bloody.
But these people were clearly out to kill him.
Crack!
As the first two approached, Chen Tianlong grabbed one’s wrist directly, pulling forcefully, while leaping up and delivering an elbow strike to the person’s skull.
The person directly fell to the ground, presumably already dead.
Subsequently, Chen Tianlong activated the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, condensing a surge of powerful Qi at his fingertips, unleashing several bursts of Inch Force on the incoming bodies unreservedly.
"Puh~"
"Awo~"
Cries of agony, spurts of fresh blood, this place became a battlefield of death, and Chen Tianlong became the butcher.
"Clap clap clap...."
At this moment, applause sounded from the front, but it wasn’t Xuan Yu; it was Young Master Hao.
Chen Tianlong frowned, wondering what this guy was arranging these for, was it to show that he had more men, that they couldn’t all be killed?
"Young Master Hao, should I go in?" Xuan Yu originally aimed for a sneak attack, but indeed, Chen Tianlong was not easy to deal with; before he found a chance, Chen Tianlong had already taken down the lot, leaving numerous dead and wounded.
"No need, let’s go!" After Young Master Hao said this, he quickly retreated, with Xuan Yu closely following.
Chen Tianlong quickly chased after them, eventually reaching within ten meters of the central square, a distance where everything could be seen clearly. On a high platform in the center of the square stood a large pillar, with a girl tied to it—that girl was Wu Mengting.
Beside Wu Mengting, about five meters apart, were two huge display screens, showing the people Chen Tianlong had injured or killed, blood was everywhere.
Wu Mengting’s body trembled, seeming to be terrified, her eyes vacant.
"Mengting, how are you, did they harm you?" As Chen Tianlong rushed towards Wu Mengting, suddenly, five masters sprang from all directions.
These five were Xuan Yu from the Celestial Martial Sect, Zhang Bao from the Black Alliance along with Zhang Bei, and Xue Kong and Wang Tao.
And on the platform sat a man with his legs crossed on a single sofa, this man was the leader of the Celestial Wolf Gang, Tang Xiao.
Glancing at the five masters ahead, among them four were Yellow Dao Seventh Stars, Chen Tianlong furrowed his brow tightly. This time, he feared he might perish here.
However, what Chen Tianlong could not believe was that people from the Black Alliance were involved.
Most notably, Xue Kong, a man who held a highly esteemed status in Chen Tianlong’s heart.
Yet here he was, indeed Chen Tianlong’s enemy.
After shouting, there was no response from Wu Mengting, causing him much anxiety.
"Haha, Chen Tianlong, right? I’m glad to see you in person. I never would’ve thought, you are actually an assassin, you hid it well enough. Your little girlfriend just now was watching enthusiastically."
Tang Xiao finally stood up from the chair, exhaling a smoke ring before laughing heartily towards the stage.
With today’s setup, Chen Tianlong probably couldn’t escape even if he had wings.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong’s brow furrowed. The fact that he was an assassin had never been told to Wu Mengting, and he didn’t want Wu Mengting to know either, because he was afraid.
He feared that once Wu Mengting knew, she would despise him, look down on him, and leave him.
Therefore, he didn’t want, and didn’t dare.
Young Master Hao was in fact a person with considerable cunning, and Chen Tianlong’s fatal flaw was something he grasped very well. Killing Chen Tianlong wasn’t an easy task, even now surrounded by masters, if Chen Tianlong wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
The only thing that could defeat Chen Tianlong mentally was Wu Mengting alone.
Wu Mengting, seeing Chen Tianlong so brutally killing, listening to him openly admit he was an assassin, her whole being collapsed at once.
She couldn’t believe her boyfriend was truly a merciless assassin who kills without batting an eye.
Although she’d thought of many possibilities, even considered Chen Tianlong might be an assassin, facing the reality at this moment still left her confused.
