Chapter 867 - 865: Movement in the Room
Chen Tianlong didn’t hesitate, he directly pushed the door open and walked inside, while Zhou An was already hiding behind the door. Anyway, now that Chen Tianlong was inside, grabbing Liu Ting didn’t seem to be meaningful.
Nonetheless, after entering, Chen Tianlong didn’t immediately close the door, but grabbed Liu Ting’s hand forcefully, pulling her into his arms. He then swiftly turned back to the doorway, pushed hard, and left the room. Immediately, Chen Tianlong closed the door.
By the time Liu Ting realized what was happening, she was already outside. At this moment, Wu Mengting, who was hiding nearby, whispered urgently to Liu Ting, "Liu Ting, over here!"
Liu Ting froze for a moment, then understood. It turned out Chen Tianlong had noticed something was amiss, and he had just gone to save her.
Inside the room.
Zhou An felt a bit frustrated. He had planned an ambush but hadn’t expected this brat to notice. However, Zhou An wasn’t worried; Chen Tianlong wouldn’t run away easily, as they had another woman in their hands.
Their mistake was failing to understand the arrival of this woman, while Chen Tianlong had mostly guessed it.
The reason Chen Tianlong let Liu Ting go was for Shen Yan to intervene. After all, the person in front had somewhat high strength, perhaps beyond his ability. If they were to fight for real, it might be a fight to the death before either stopped.
Shen Yan seemed to have sensed Chen Tianlong’s intentions, and was prepared.
Anyway, her strength had mostly been figured out by Chen Tianlong, so she didn’t need to worry about exposing her identity. Besides, Chen Tianlong had already exposed her, but he didn’t want to point it out.
"Chen Tianlong, right? I’ve finally been waiting for you," Zhou An felt he held a hostage and was completely unfazed that Chen Tianlong would escape. He casually sat back on the bed, crossed his legs, took out a pack of cigarettes, and leisurely smoked.
"Oh, I don’t indulge in that. What are you waiting for me for?" Chen Tianlong said casually.
"Yes, you may not know who I am, and it’s no wonder. How could someone as vulgar as you know me?" Zhou An’s mouth was quite sharp, especially adept at insulting others.
"Haha, indeed, someone like me usually doesn’t get to know such high-level scum like you," Chen Tianlong chuckled playfully.
Upon hearing this, Zhou An frowned and threw the cigarette stub on the ground, then stood up and shouted, "Don’t act high and mighty in front of me. If you don’t want respect, tell me, are you the one who injured those apprentices of our Celestial Martial Sect?"
"Celestial Martial Sect? Oh, you mean those fools. Yes, I injured them. They deserved it, practicing on the mountain so decently, but scared of coming down to act tough. I couldn’t help but step in as the good Samaritan I am. Never thought they’d be so weak."
"Pfft!" Hearing Chen Tianlong’s relentless teasing, Shen Yan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Damn, you guys...."
"What ’you guys’? This is our room. You better get the hell out immediately, and I’ll pretend nothing happened. Just secretly telling you, my friend here is a master. Normally, she won’t intervene, but if provoked, it’s a different story."
Chen Tianlong continued to provoke the opponent while hinting to Shen Yan to lend assistance.
"Haha, kid, don’t try to fool me. I’ve already investigated your abilities. You’re merely a one-star Profound Dao master. I’m telling you, I’m two levels higher than you, and my two subordinates are seven-star Yellow Dao, controlling your friend. What do you think are your chances of victory?" Zhou An sneered, still fearless.
"Chances of victory? I think a complete victory, right, Shen Yan?" Chen Tianlong swiftly posed the question to Shen Yan.
At this moment, Shen Yan had no choice but to confront the situation. Chen Tianlong knew he probably couldn’t fully defeat this person, so he sought help, and she couldn’t just ignore it.
"It must be a complete victory, these few small fry still want to capture me."
With that, Shen Yan shook her body, throwing the two subordinates forward, both assuming a humiliating stance.
"Ah?"
Zhou An was dumbfounded. This beautiful woman had been hiding her true strength, she was a master.
In an instant, Chen Tianlong saw Shen Yan’s real power, four-star Profound Dao. This was the highest level of strength Chen Tianlong had seen so far, not counting his masters.
After all, his masters’ skills were concealed; with his current ability, he couldn’t discern their ultimate power.
"Who... who exactly are you?" Zhou An stood up from the bed in shock.
"Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is, those who see my power will end up dead," Shen Yan said coldly. Being an assassin, Chen Tianlong certainly understood Shen Yan’s meaning.
"Actually, I think it’s not necessary for anyone to die. Being a vegetable seems to work too," Chen Tianlong said this to remind Shen Yan that during the fight, it would be best not to kill anyone, as it would be troublesome.
"Screw it, keep trying to fool me." As a three-star Profound Dao master, Zhou An would certainly not believe the woman before him was that formidable. Although her slight body tremor could topple his two seven-star Yellow Dao subordinates, it didn’t represent much, for he could do the same.
"Haha."
Chen Tianlong smiled lightly; he also wanted to test what kind of power this three-star Profound Dao master had, to estimate his own strength.
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s smile, Zhou An was immediately enraged, summoned all his strength, and charged at him. Shen Yan’s expression changed, intending to step in to stop it, yet this guy wasn’t easy to handle. His speed was surprisingly fast, comparable to hers.
Chen Tianlong expressed surprise; this guy was indeed fierce. If it weren’t for his Ghost Shadow Flash reaching a certain peak, he would have been defeated by that strike.
Whoosh!
After Chen Tianlong dodged aside, he took a deep breath, feeling thrilled and nearly getting KO’d in one blow.
Shen Yan swiftly came forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Chen Tianlong.
"Oh, perfect timing, you two can come at me together!" After the initial skirmish, Zhou An thought he was extraordinary, believing Chen Tianlong to be nothing much, eliminating him would be a breeze.
Chen Tianlong frowned, looking at past improvements, he saw his breakthroughs were entirely reliant on gaining Powerful Qi through combat, seizing the opportunity to break through during the fight.
Just like gaining experience and leveling up in a game.
So, he didn’t want to waste this chance, hence he said to Shen Yan beside him, "Shen Yan, you watch from the side first. I’d like to take on this guy."
With Shen Yan assisting, Chen Tianlong felt less worried; with his vigilance, he couldn’t be killed in a single blow.
"Alright!"
Shen Yan readily agreed.
