Chapter 827 - 825: Forced to Kill
Chen Tianlong saw him adopting a stance indicating he wanted a bare-handed challenge, so he also put away his knife and adopted a stance to respond.
After each had used their ultimate skills for one round, they quickly separated. Chen Tianlong seemed at ease, but He Shang’s fist was already swollen and reddened, now trembling visibly.
"Damn it, what kind of dogshit Martial Technique is this, it’s so hot, it’s killing me," He Shang cursed silently.
But at this moment, he finally understood why the small squad he sent earlier was all knocked down — this kid’s strength is really formidable.
However, He Shang was vexed; why did someone so powerful let others chase him for so long? Crazy!
Chen Tianlong didn’t wait for him to think much further, seizing the opportunity to sprint forward. At this moment, he only wanted to finish quickly and get back to eating and drinking. He’d been hungry and thirsty for a long time, and if he didn’t eat something soon, he felt he might really starve to death.
"Click!"
Just as Chen Tianlong charged halfway, he saw his opponent pulling out a black gun and then unlocking the safety.
"Ha ha, I wondered what kind of master you were, turns out this is it; in the end, you still have to resort to deceit to win," Chen Tianlong deliberately said, trying to divert this person’s attention.
At the same time, two daggers appeared in his hands, prepared earlier. Moreover, these two daggers weren’t held by one hand but were spread across his left and right hands.
"Haha, idiot, never heard of ’all’s fair in war’? You want to kill someone and still be picky?" With a gun in hand, He Shang became reckless; he didn’t believe Chen Tianlong, with Profound Dao level one, could dodge bullets.
In He Shang’s view, at least Profound Dao level five was needed for that ability.
"Is that so? Then I won’t be picky either," Chen Tianlong replied casually.
"Humph, facing death and still pretentious, do you think you’re faster than a bullet? Go die!" He Shang had long wanted to kill Chen Tianlong; with this rare chance, he didn’t want to waste words and directly pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
Just when He Shang pulled the trigger, Chen Tianlong’s flying knife was also unleashed with less than half a second interval.
This subtle move was beyond what the overly excited and reckless He Shang would notice.
He didn’t believe that within less than three meters, Chen Tianlong could surpass his bullet; it was simply invincible.
Correct!
At such a short distance, Chen Tianlong was not confident in dodging, but he was confident in intercepting, otherwise his time learning Hidden Weapon from Fang Zun would have been in vain.
"Hiss~"
The sound of a blade piercing flesh was heard; although faint, Chen Tianlong could hear it clearly. With a satisfied smile, he began to stride forward.
"You won’t die unless you ask for it!" After saying this coldly, Chen Tianlong left.
About five meters away, a sudden thud sounded from behind, obviously indicating He Shang’s death. Chen Tianlong shook his head helplessly; in the world of martial arts, things are really beyond one’s control.
You don’t want to kill, yet people insist on killing you.
Seeing himself in his clothes afterward, shirtless, he thought that entering the city like this would surely make people laugh. Thus, Chen Tianlong decided to take the clothes off an injured follower nearby and put them on.
Then Chen Tianlong sprinted back to the Black Alliance city; as nobody knew him, he entered a restaurant and ordered food.
These restaurants were run by people from within the Black Alliance, and he, presumably a guest or friend of the Black Alliance, could freely move here. Hence, the staff politely served the food to him.
Twenty minutes later, after a meal and drinks, Chen Tianlong planned to return to his previous room to sleep.
They say the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Lin Xiaoting heard He Shang sent men to secretly hunt Chen Tianlong, pacing anxiously without knowing where he was. Skipping lunch, she tossed and turned in her room, feeling lost.
She didn’t understand herself; just a young man from Huaxia, perhaps never to be seen again after this encounter. Yet she couldn’t help but think of him, worried for his safety.
Finally, Lin Xiaoting decided to visit the hotel where Chen Tianlong disappeared, thinking he might return there safely.
With this thought, Lin Xiaoting quickly exited her room, heading straight to the hotel.
Coincidentally, her intuition led her to find Chen Tianlong. At this moment, Chen Tianlong just emerged from the shower, exhausted from the day’s ordeal, planning to take a nap.
Unexpectedly, there came a knock on the door.
Lin Xiaoting thought Chen Tianlong might not be there, but seeing the locked door and hearing footsteps inside, she excitedly knocked.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong quickly went to hide behind the door, considering two possibilities for the visitor: one wishing to kill him, the other being Lin Xiaoting.
"Chen Tianlong, is that you? It’s Xiaoting," Lin Xiaoting called out, uncertain if it was Chen Tianlong or if the room had been booked by others, having forgotten to ask the lobby manager earlier. Being chased, she feared asking might expose his identity.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong opened the door, forgetting he was still wearing shorts, topless.
"Ah? Chen Tianlong...what are you doing?" When Lin Xiaoting saw Chen Tianlong had indeed returned, she was overjoyed, but as she pushed the door open, she saw him standing there in boxers, topless.
Seeing Lin Xiaoting’s gaze, Chen Tianlong then realized and hurriedly closed the door.
This move made Lin Xiaoting misunderstand, thinking he shut the door to do something to her, she quickly stepped back several steps.
"Xiaoting, what are you doing?" Chen Tianlong asked, bewildered, rushing awkwardly to cover himself with a thin blanket on the bed.
"You brat, it’s me asking you what you want, what’s with being topless in the middle of the day?" Li Xiaoting said, face flushed, having been in the Black Alliance for so long, no man had dared stand like that before her and remain unscathed.
Chen Tianlong grinned sheepishly and replied, "Heh, I thought someone was coming to kill me earlier, thinking I’d charge out, but then didn’t expect it to be you. Also, my clothes were washed and hung on the balcony."
"Alright."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoting didn’t reprimand him, remembering seeing Chen Tianlong topless with a decent physique and firm muscles.
"By the way, I heard the Black Alliance were chasing you?" Lin Xiaoting asked deliberately.
Given Chen Tianlong was clearly chased before, his sudden return puzzled her. She didn’t believe he single-handedly took down the group sent by He Shang, even less so unharmed.
