Chapter 802 - 800: Eating Steak
"Tianlong, what are you doing, staring blankly at Wushuang? If you have something to say, just say it. No one’s in the elevator." Lu Xiaoyu glanced at Chen Tianlong, noticing he seemed a bit lost in thought, and her gaze just happened to fall on Lin Wushuang’s back, so she deliberately said.
"Xiaoyu, are you looking for trouble!" Upon hearing this, Lin Wushuang gave Lu Xiaoyu a side-eye.
"Haha, nothing much, I just saw an acquaintance outside the elevator earlier." Chen Tianlong replied.
Lin Wushuang was taken aback, then turned to look at Chen Tianlong, seeing his serious expression, she breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, every word Lu Xiaoyu said seemed to speak her mind, but she just didn’t have the courage to express her feelings to Chen Tianlong.
The three of them soon reached the third floor and walked into Li’s Steakhouse.
"Wow, Wushuang, the decor here is quite upscale, and the environment is pretty elegant," said Lu Xiaoyu, who was also visiting for the first time, happily.
"Yeah, it’s really nice," Chen Tianlong agreed with Lu Xiaoyu’s opinion.
"Of course, with Miss Chen leading the way, how could we end up in a bad place?" Lin Wushuang smiled proudly as she led the two of them to an empty table.
Obviously, the business here was good, as the place was fully seated, and this spot had just been vacated by departing guests and cleaned up by the waiter.
"Looks like we got lucky, finding a spot as soon as we arrived," Chen Tianlong grinned and was about to sit down.
At that moment, suddenly a man appeared opposite him, managing to sit down before Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu.
Chen Tianlong was stunned. Looking up, he frowned momentarily.
This person was none other than Xuan Yu, with whom he had a conflict in Capital City that day.
"Who are you? We got here first, plus we’re three people and you are just by yourself," Lin Wushuang was a bit frustrated, feeling that this man was too shameless to snatch the spot even though he saw that they came first.
"Miss, does it have your name on it?" Xuan Yu responded indifferently.
"You..."
"Wushuang!"
Chen Tianlong quickly intervened, giving Xuan Yu a brief glare before smiling slightly at Lin Wushuang, "Wushuang, why don’t you and Xiaoyu start ordering, and I’ll talk to this friend here."
"Oh..."
Clearly, Lin Wushuang didn’t realize Xuan Yu’s prowess, and it wasn’t that Chen Tianlong was afraid of Xuan Yu, he simply didn’t want to ruin the mood of Miss Chen. After all, the three of them had finally come out to enjoy a meal, and it wouldn’t be good to mess it up later.
"Then Tianlong, make sure to teach this guy a lesson; he has no manners at all," Lu Xiaoyu puckered her lips and said.
"Alright." Chen Tianlong replied, grabbing Xuan Yu’s arm. After a brief contest of strength, Chen Tianlong said, "Sir, shall we chat elsewhere?"
Xuan Yu chuckled coldly before standing up.
This time, his mission was to take out Chen Tianlong, but it wouldn’t be appropriate to act in such a public place.
The two headed towards the restaurant’s public restroom.
Before entering, Chen Tianlong placed an ’Out of Service’ sign on the door, locked it after entering, and the two of them stood on opposite sides, ready to begin their confrontation.
"Why are you still coming after me?" Chen Tianlong asked, a bit puzzled, as he didn’t have any deep enmity with Xuan Yu. Speaking of the few disciples of the Celestial Martial Sect, they had brought it upon themselves and just got injured.
"Because you’re still alive," Xuan Yu spoke bluntly.
"So, you definitely intend to kill me?" Chen Tianlong’s expression turned somewhat cold. As a professional assassin, there’s no way he couldn’t catch the implied meaning in Xuan Yu’s words.
"Haha, you’ve got it right. So, are you going to handle it yourself, or shall I do it personally?" Xuan Yu mused, thinking that after a few days of adjustments, he had already figured out Chen Tianlong’s moves, and it would be more than enough to deal with him now.
"Perhaps you’ve forgotten who I am. In my dictionary, there’s no such thing as suicide." Chen Tianlong said, immediately activating the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique.
Considering the situation, using the Reverse Force might be most suited since it’s only Xuan Yu, but having just used it, he would easily notice, and it might not work on this guy.
Thus, Chen Tianlong finally opted for the combination of Soul-Stealing Three Needles and the third move of Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist.
"Are you planning to use hidden weapons? Haha, I’ve already seen through your moves; I advise you to just submit to your death," Xuan Yu began to boast. He thought Chen Tianlong only had those two techniques to rely on, and there was no need to worry.
"Is that so? Then let’s see." Chen Tianlong coldly smiled, revealing three silver needles in his hand.
Master Fang Yan mentioned that the Soul-Stealing Three Needles were actually more than that. Back then, Yan Nanfei could sweep through Huaxia with this move, showing its extraordinary nature. If Chen Tianlong’s prowess now could only be at this level, dominating Huaxia would be out of the question, and even taking down the person before him might not be possible.
But before Chen Tianlong could contemplate more, Xuan Yu surged forward, launching a punch at him.
"Bang!"
Chen Tianlong didn’t counter but used a Ghost Shadow Step to dodge, while Xuan Yu’s punch landed directly on the wall behind Chen Tianlong, leaving a dent, showing its terrifying power.
Damn!
Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but curse; this guy really intended to kill him. It looked like today, either he’ll fall here, or that guy will.
Just to be safe, Chen Tianlong scanned the surroundings for any cameras, in case he accidentally took out this guy, which could bring big trouble.
Luckily, there were no cameras in the restroom, and no restaurant would install a camera in a restroom; that would be too inhumane.
"Kid, stop pretending. Make your move, you won’t be able to dodge forever," Xuan Yu, though using a provocation technique, knew that if Chen Tianlong used Ghost Shadow Step, he couldn’t be easily dealt with.
"Hehe..."
After a cold laugh, Chen Tianlong gathered all his strength, intending to try the third move of Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist to see if it would work against Xuan Yu.
Thus, Chen Tianlong deliberately took two steps back, took a deep breath, spread his legs, and gathered the powerful Qi from his Dantian into his right palm. This third move involved two fists; Chen Tianlong had tried it before, but the power was not substantial enough.
In essence, it was because the Heart Method of Frenzied Dragon Fist and Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique weren’t fully integrated.
This time was no different.
When Xuan Yu attacked again, Chen Tianlong unleashed the third move of the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist.
"Boom!"
As the two fists collided, a powerful force exploded, causing the restroom’s small doors to shake violently. Naturally, Chen Tianlong was pushed back several steps, slamming into the wall, chest filled with pain.
Xuan Yu’s level was higher than his and was infinitely close to Profound Dao, while Chen Tianlong had just broken through to Yellow Dao six stars, leaving a gap in their powers.
If it wasn’t for Xuan Yu underestimating him and being unaware of Chen Tianlong’s techniques that day, he wouldn’t have fallen for them.
"Haha, so this is all you’ve got." Xuan Yu sneered, now basically understanding Chen Tianlong’s ultimate strength. He began to act without any restraint, "Alright, I’ll give you one more chance. Are you going to end it yourself, or shall I make the move? It could be quite painful."
"So much nonsense!"
Chen Tianlong coldly retorted. At the moment, he could feel the opponent’s strength was indeed intimidating, and knowing his techniques inside out made a sneak attack impossible.
Master Fang Yan mentioned that the fusion of Martial Technique Heart Method and Main Heart Method required two conditions: Body Tempering and Weakness Perception. He had completed the Body Tempering, but as for Weakness Perception, he didn’t quite understand the specific method.
