Chapter 795 - 793: Tang Xiao Takes Action
Tang Xiao hesitated for a moment. He felt he couldn’t attack recklessly and needed a plan.
So, he waved to Xue Kong and the brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Bei beside him. After the four gathered together and discussed for a while, a wicked smile flashed across Tang Xiao’s face.
Suddenly, his body flickered and appeared directly in front of Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong frowned. Tang Xiao had become cleverer. It seemed he should attack first, then let the others ambush. But they were overthinking it. Chen Tianlong could knock him down, even in a fair fight.
However, Chen Tianlong had a strong will. He refused to die and didn’t want to die.
"Go to hell, kid!"
Tang Xiao struck again, but Chen Tianlong was already prepared. This time, he was going to fight to the death.
"Boom!"
A dull sound rang out as their fists collided, but they didn’t separate. This was intentional on Chen Tianlong’s part.
Tang Xiao obviously felt it too. Chen Tianlong was clashing qi with him.
"Ha..."
Tang Xiao thought Chen Tianlong had taken the bait and hurriedly nodded to the other three. Xue Kong and the Zhang brothers rushed forward, attacking from Chen Tianlong’s back and both sides.
"Bang bang bang..."
Three dull thuds, and Chen Tianlong nearly fainted from the pain. He knew many of the meridians in his body had been shattered.
Yet, this was his last chance.
"Reverse...Force!"
Chen Tianlong seemed to use his last breath to activate the first layer of the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.
This layer hadn’t been used for a while, but its power was formidable. It had a heaven-defying move, the Reverse Force.
In normal circumstances, Reverse Force was safest in a one-on-one. But Chen Tianlong had no choice now.
To survive, Chen Tianlong used a mutual destruction move, sustaining serious injuries but managing to hold off the four.
Hao Shuai sensed something was amiss. But without an order from Tang Xiao, the Celestial Wolf Gang’s boss, he dared not act. In this place, Tang Xiao was the leader, not him.
Tang Xiao wanted to speak but had no chance. His powerful qi was rapidly draining. Speaking would be like a deflated plea, and he’d soon collapse.
He knew well what collapse meant: loss of cultivation, which would take years to regain.
Likewise, Xue Kong and the other three dared not act rashly, only hinting with expressions.
Hao Shuai observed for a while and grew more uneasy. Four attacking one shouldn’t stay unmoved. As a practitioner himself, he knew this was rare. The only explanation was that something was wrong.
With this thought, Hao Shuai prepared to step in.
Chen Tianlong was also anxious. Given two more minutes, he could drain the four’s qi. Then even if he couldn’t move, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
But Hao Shuai was still there, causing him a headache.
"Everyone, how’s it going? Quickly, finish off Chen Tianlong."
Hao Shuai, to confirm his suspicions, deliberately shouted.
But still no response. In panic, he jumped onto the stage, waving a few subordinates to follow. Walking over, Hao Shuai saw Tang Xiao, Xue Kong, and the others trembling.
Yet, he dared not move closer. Something strange had occurred. If he approached, he might end up the same.
"Men, get him!"
Indeed, Hao Shuai was cunning. He wouldn’t go, but he’d send others.
On command, three subordinates swung their fists, but in a moment, they too were drawn in. Hao Shuai noticed the oddity and quickly grabbed a stick, swinging it at Chen Tianlong’s head.
Seeing the danger, Chen Tianlong urgently dodged his head, and the stick landed heavily on his shoulder with a thud. Chen Tianlong’s arm trembled, and his Heart Method ceased.
"Thud!"
Everyone scattered on the ground. Luckily, they weren’t fully drained of their qi. Xue Kong and Tang Xiao widened their eyes, having never seen such a strange move, nearly losing their lives.
After retreating two steps, they hurriedly cultivated qi to heal and regain strength.
Chen Tianlong, attacked while using Reverse Force, was severely injured. After retreating two steps, he spat two mouthfuls of blood, his body weak.
But his unyielding expression deterred anyone from acting hastily.
"Chen Tianlong!"
Wu Mengting finally ran over and embraced Chen Tianlong, letting the rain pelt down on her.
Seriously injured, Chen Tianlong couldn’t speak casually. He endured and softly said, "Mengting, we’ll be fine. I’ll take you out of here."
Wu Mengting’s tears flowed uncontrollably. If not for her, Chen Tianlong could have left safely.
"Chen Tianlong, just go, don’t..."
But as she spoke, Chen Tianlong’s hand covered Wu Mengting’s mouth. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and smiled slightly, saying, "There’s only one Wu Mengting, and I don’t want to regret for a lifetime. Let me use my last breath. Perhaps then, I’ll feel more at ease."
Wu Mengting’s tears poured like rain. She didn’t know what words could persuade Chen Tianlong. She knew of his love for her, but she didn’t want him to die for her.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong stood up again, shouting to the crowd ahead, "Come on! Are you scared?"
A strong figure stood firm once more. Hearing the powerful and passionate roar, everyone felt a shiver of fear.
Hao Shuai saw Chen Tianlong’s desperate struggle and said to Tang Xiao nearby, "Boss, now’s the time. Let’s attack together and take him down."
Tang Xiao nodded, signaling to the other three. Though their strength hadn’t fully recovered, in this state, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t need full power to be taken down.
"Let’s all join forces to kill him."
With that, Tang Xiao dashed forward, and the other three rushed too.
Chen Tianlong knew this blow might be his end, but he didn’t regret it. At least he tried his best for his beloved.
"Ah~"
Chen Tianlong shouted loudly, then used his last breath to launch a punch.
Xuan Yu, Zhang Bao, Zhang Bei, and Tang Xiao also used all their might, striking Chen Tianlong’s body...
"No, Chen Tianlong..."
Wu Mengting sensed the scent of death, a fear she’d never felt before.
"Haha..." Hao Shuai, seeing this scene, felt great joy, believing Chen Tianlong was about to die.
But at that moment, a black figure flashed out, appearing directly behind Chen Tianlong. Without a word, he struck Chen Tianlong.
Before anyone could react, Chen Tianlong felt a powerful qi flow into his body.
"Boom!"
A tremendous crash sent the four opponents flying, landing and each spitting blood.
Though not severe, it was unpleasant for practitioners who had just lost some qi.
"Cough cough..."
Tang Xiao and Xue Kong, shocked by the sudden move, coughed a few times, quickly stood, and focused ahead.
At this moment, there stood an old man in black tight-fitting clothing.
"Master!"
Chen Tianlong quickly turned. Seeing the visitor, he was overjoyed. It was none other than the leader of the Assassin Group, Ye Feng.
"Hmm!"
Ye Feng seemed a bit helpless, never expecting Chen Tianlong to almost lose his life this time.
