Chapter 861 - 859: The Swordman Takes Action
"Alright, after thinking it over, I still think it’s better if you die, that way I won’t be embarrassed." After Chen Tianlong finished speaking, he threw a punch directly, but without understanding the opponent’s specific moves, he couldn’t expose his strongest trump card too early.
Boom!
Their fists collided, unleashing a powerful Qi wave, spreading out in a radial pattern, causing the surrounding seats to tremble.
Wu Mengting’s short skirt was blown up by the shockwave, causing a nearby Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall junior brother’s eyes to pop, almost making him nosebleed.
"What are you guys standing there for, move!" Shangguan Jianren was a bit exasperated, these disciples were actually dazed, although they agreed earlier that once the opportunity presented itself, they would capture Wu Mengting and then he would handle Chen Tianlong alone.
Hearing this, the two juniors began to move towards Wu Mengting.
At this time, Ouyang Meijia and Liu Ting rushed out, they clenched their fists tightly. Although Liu Ting was only a four-star, and Ouyang Meijia was a three to four-star, together, they had a slight chance of winning against one.
The main thing was these two disciples were also lechers, upon seeing four beautiful women standing before them, they couldn’t help but feel some pity for them.
"Ladies, this has nothing to do with you two, just hand over that girl, and you can go play," one disciple said with a smile, as if discussing a simple matter.
"Oh, why do you want to capture her, she...is our friend. If you try to take her, we’ll fight you," Ouyang Meijia glared angrily.
"Yes, we’ll fight you!" Liu Ting joined in once she saw Meijia acting tough.
Shen Yan chuckled bitterly on the side, who would have thought these two girls were so loyal, knowing they couldn’t win, yet still insisting on standing their ground.
"What are you two doing, hurry up and move!" After a second round with Chen Tianlong, Shangguan Jianren turned to see these two guys were actually flirting.
If he wasn’t fighting with Chen Tianlong, Shangguan Jianren really wanted to rush over and slap them on the head.
With their master uncle’s kick, the two disciples quickly snapped out of it, rolled up their sleeves and prepared to charge in and capture someone. But Ouyang Meijia and Liu Ting continued to resist stubbornly.
Meijia stood in front of that person, spreading her arms to stop them from passing, while the other disciple tried to bypass her, only to be suddenly kicked in the waist by Liu Ting.
Thud!
Without any defense, the disciple was kicked to the ground by Liu Ting and became furious, jumping up to strike back at Liu Ting. Seeing this, Ouyang Meijia quickly stepped forward, and the two of them worked together to resist, but not long after, they were knocked to the ground, their whole bodies in pain.
Seeing so many people, Shen Yan wanted to act but had to lead Wu Mengting to escape to the side, with the two disciples following closely behind. Meijia and Liu Ting, with nowhere to go, could only sit against the wall, their backsides sore, with no energy to stop anyone.
On the other side, Chen Tianlong and Shangguan Jianren officially started their battle, previously it was just a warm-up, testing each other’s skills, now they basically understood each other’s strengths.
"Boy, don’t you understand yet? You are no match for me." Shangguan Jianren was at the late stage of Profound Dao Two Stars, nearly at the three-star level, so he was much stronger than an ordinary Profound Dao Two Stars.
"We haven’t officially started yet, maybe you’re too full of yourself."
Chen Tianlong gave him a disdainful look, but was slightly worried in his heart, from the previous exchange, this person’s strength was indeed strong, the strongest opponent Chen Tianlong had encountered so far.
"Hehe, just you wait and see." Shangguan Jianren said, then dashed over.
Chen Tianlong was prepared, no way would he let himself be hit, so as usual, he evaded using Ghost Shadow Flash. But just as he steadied himself, his abdomen was struck hard.
What happened?
Bam!
Chen Tianlong was blown backward, this person knew where he would appear and attacked precisely without hesitation.
Formidable! Truly formidable.
Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but praise him in his heart.
One must admit, this elder truly was a tough opponent, both in strength and speed, he surpassed Chen Tianlong.
Most importantly, Shangguan Jianren was at the level of a martial uncle in the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall, naturally having mastered their ultimate skill to perfection, which was the Instant Shadow Butterfly Step. The reason Chen Tianlong was hit earlier was not because he predicted his appearance point, but his movement speed was just too fast.
"Haha, sorry, hit you again." Shangguan Jianren started to show off, with his movement speed, he felt he could completely prevent Chen Tianlong from hitting back.
But Chen Tianlong still didn’t realize this person was winning by speed, he thought it was because the person could predict his appearance point.
In the next three rounds, Chen Tianlong still got hit, but protected the critical areas in advance, avoiding serious injury. At this moment, Chen Tianlong was supporting himself with one hand on the ground, breathing heavily.
Fighting like this was too passive, always getting hit, ultimately would lead to defeat. To turn the tide, he must switch from passive to active, to have a chance for victory.
"Boy, you should stay quiet, my moves are fast, it shouldn’t be too painful." Shangguan Jianren felt that Chen Tianlong’s life was basically in his hands.
As for Wu Mengting, his two disciples had already gone after her and would soon bring her back.
The mission was about to be successfully completed, just thinking about it made him a little excited.
But just at this moment, Chen Tianlong tossed three silver needles. This technique shocked Shangguan Jianren greatly, for he saw not just three ordinary silver needles, but instantly transforming into twenty-seven.
This hidden weapon technique, he had seen it before, but that time, the previous Sect Leader of the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall, Shangguan Tian, was defeated in one move by Yan Nanfei.
Seeing this familiar move, Shangguan Jianren instinctively became terrified, diving to the ground directly.
Chen Tianlong was stunned, as if noticing something, this person was actually so afraid of the Soul-Stealing Three Needles.
"Heh heh, I’ve finally found your weakness." Chen Tianlong laughed heartily in his heart, this guy thought he could predict his appearance point, but as long as he kept three silver needles in hand, he didn’t believe the guy would still dare to show up.
Sure enough, in the subsequent attacks, Shangguan Jianren became much more cautious, always keeping an eye on Chen Tianlong’s silver needles, afraid he would suddenly strike again.
The power of Chen Tianlong’s Soul-Stealing Three Needles just now was too strong, Shangguan Jianren had no mind to focus on anything else. He was terrified, after all, that technique could take out the previous Sect Leader in one move; how could he not be afraid?
