Chapter 885 - 883: Another Encounter
Finally, after Chen Tianlong and the others left, there was still no disclosure, just a business card given to Chen Tianlong, instructing that if he wants to contact him in the future, he can just call.
After recording the phone number from the business card onto his phone, Chen Tianlong took Liu Ting and headed towards East City.
Fang Chuanting was evidently a bit reluctant, but she felt like a mere stranger who just brushed shoulders with Chen Tianlong, always feeling somewhat powerless.
She couldn’t possibly say to Chen Tianlong now, "I like you, please stay with me."
For the somewhat shy Fang Chuanting, such words were certainly unspeakable.
Reluctantly bidding farewell to Chen Tianlong, Fang Chuanting returned to the dormitory, after all, they still planned to go out and have fun today. Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong drove Liu Ting quickly relocated from North City, which was a place of danger for them, not suitable for lingering.
Regarding the plan to visit the Ancient Wu Family ruins, Chen Tianlong had to return to East City first, then devise a comprehensive strategy before taking Wu Mengting along.
Otherwise, going recklessly could easily attract the attention of people from North City; once surrounded on the mountain, escaping would be nearly impossible.
At the South Sea City airport, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties boarded a plane heading to Ice City, his gaze carried a hint of nervousness, with fists slightly clenched.
This small gesture, however, unleashed limitless power; if Chen Tianlong were present, his jaw would surely drop in surprise because this man’s strength was actually... Celestial Dao!
At the junction of Ice City’s North City and East City, there were only three kilometers left to East City, and ahead was not a highway, but a normal gravel road.
At a T-intersection, suddenly three cars emerged from the side and front, blocking the entire road tightly.
Chen Tianlong realized the situation was peculiar, informing Liu Ting, "Junior Sister, remember to escape first later, only then do we have a chance to get away."
"Understood." Although Liu Ting was worried, she was once an excellent assassin and knew that if Chen Tianlong said this, he must have his reasons. Thus, she nodded in agreement.
Clearly, Ice City’s people’s strength far surpassed Liu Ting’s. If she acted, it would obviously just create more problems for Chen Tianlong. Therefore, she remained in the car and sought an opportunity to escape.
Apparently, the attention of those people was entirely focused on Chen Tianlong and showed little interest in Liu Ting. After all, with Wang Dali personally taking action, these underlings wouldn’t dare to harbor any illicit thoughts. If they disrupted the plan, they’d face severe punishment.
Chen Tianlong got out of the car, leaned against it, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and calmly watched as the crowd slowly approached.
For this battle, he did not intend to fight desperately but chose the strategy of evasion as the best option.
With the Flying Shoes, as long as Liu Ting got a chance to escape, the rest would be much simpler.
"Hey, Chen Tianlong, what a coincidence, we meet again," Fang Dali deliberately exclaimed, this time without Fang Xiaoli, seemed less bothersome.
"Indeed, narrow paths often meet. So, what’s your plan for today’s fight?" Chen Tianlong said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the crowd was momentarily stunned, looking at Chen Tianlong in disbelief.
This guy must have a death wish or perhaps is not right in the head; speaking so casually in front of Young Master Fang, who does he think he is?
The crowd murmured to themselves.
"How to fight, I’ll decide. Today I’m not in the mood to play with you, so you should surrender and come back with me, or you’ll die miserably. This time you’re not so lucky," Fang Dali arrogantly retorted.
"Oh? I think not necessarily." Chen Tianlong uttered, quickly maneuvering beside the car opposite, and rapidly practiced the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, gathering powerful Qi onto his right arm, and without waiting for others to react, delivered a punch to the black BMW car.
Under the tremendous force, the car shifted aside, creating an opening.
"Liu Ting, go quickly!"
Chen Tianlong urgently shouted.
Meanwhile, Liu Ting had already prepared, rapidly ignited the engine, and the car shot forward, scaring a few underlings on the road to hurriedly jump aside for fear of getting hit.
When Liu Ting’s car passed the BMW, Fang Dali finally realized that Chen Tianlong was helping that girl to escape.
He never expected Chen Tianlong to disregard his own safety to aid someone else’s escape. What is he trying to do? Is he suggesting he can escape too?
After coldly chuckling to himself, Fang Dali ignored the already escaped Liu Ting. After all, chasing after her at this point was meaningless; they were only three kilometers away from East City, and once reached, they’d be within East City’s bounds where they wouldn’t dare act rashly.
Chen Tianlong, seeing Liu Ting escape safely, breathed a sigh of relief and grew more confident.
Can’t fight? Can I not escape either?
After contemplating this for a second, a playful smile appeared on Chen Tianlong’s face.
"Alright, let’s start the fight then." As Chen Tianlong spoke, his expression carried a mischievous smile, as if he had thought of a way to deal with Fang Dali, making Fang Dali feel a bit uneasy.
"Boy, are you really not afraid of death? Or do you think that chick can summon reinforcements?" Fang Dali mistakenly thought Chen Tianlong was stalling, waiting for the lady to call for help.
However, to him, the time needed was too long; he could defeat Chen Tianlong in mere seconds, and once reinforcements arrived, he’d be nothing but a corpse with no significance.
Even if Lin Kaifeng came by then, he’d be helpless against him.
East City wouldn’t risk inciting a war between the two cities over an outsider, which was utterly inadvisable.
"You’re very clever." Chen Tianlong chuckled softly, his face showing a hint of a playful smile, which annoyed Fang Dali.
At this moment, the crowd was eager to move forward to eliminate Chen Tianlong, but Fang Dali signaled them to stand down with a wave of his hand. He was still somewhat concerned; if these underlings acted first, it might indeed delay things.
Therefore, Fang Dali decided to personally handle the situation, finish it quickly.
Seeing this, Chen Tianlong secretly rejoiced; this was precisely the effect he wanted. He began to walk towards the center of the road, facing Fang Dali as he settled firmly in a stance with his back towards East City.
Then, he closed his eyes, intending to focus his mind and remain highly alert to handle Fang Dali’s move, since the opponent was indeed a powerful figure in the Tunnel domain, and a careless mistake could be fatal.
Fang Dali saw Chen Tianlong closing his eyes, initially stunned, then promptly realized. Last time, Chen Tianlong did this to concentrate, and so was the case now.
With previous experience, Fang Dali increased the intensity of his strike, knowing this guy appeared to be a Tunnel star-level but actually wasn’t; he had immense strength, and if not used fully, Chen Tianlong could be easily killed.
Watching the Powerful Qi Wave surge around Fang Dali, Chen Tianlong’s heart raced; this was a moment of risk-taking, though not desperate, it certainly wouldn’t feel pleasant.
"Boom!"
Chen Tianlong unleashed his strongest move, Martial God’s Arm filled with Powerful Qi paired with Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist. Of course, he wasn’t intending to attack but to flee, thus using Qi to protect himself while throwing the punch.
