Chapter 893 - 891: Bluff Battle
Chen Tianlong had previously used the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist combined with a small Qi Bomb, but it had no significant effect on Madman Li. So, this time, Chen Tianlong was prepared to use something even more aggressive! Of course, if the more aggressive move still had no effect, Chen Tianlong would have to figure out a way to escape...
"The fourth form of the Mountain-Breaking Fist..."
Chen Tianlong unleashed the fourth form of the Mountain-Breaking Fist.
Madman Li frowned and said, "That’s already four moves. You have one last move; if you don’t use it, then it’s counted as used!"
He had to remind Chen Tianlong because if, after executing the fifth form, Chen Tianlong claimed it was just a warm-up and didn’t count as a move, Madman Li would certainly go crazy!
"Oh... I know, the fifth form of the Mountain-Breaking Fist..." Chen Tianlong said and immediately unleashed the fifth form of the Mountain-Breaking Fist, and at that moment, Chen Tianlong’s figure moved...
Madman Li’s eyes narrowed with a sharp glint as he coldly smiled in his heart. As expected, the first four moves were all feints; the last move was the real ultimate attack, ready to launch!
But so what if it’s an ultimate move?
Even though the first four moves were feints, and Chen Tianlong had conserved his energy all the while in preparation for this final move, in Madman Li’s eyes, Chen Tianlong was just a spent force.
However, even after guessing Chen Tianlong’s motives, Madman Li still stood there boldly, confident that with his powerful Qi shielding him, Chen Tianlong couldn’t harm him in the slightest. As long as he withstood this blow from Chen Tianlong, he would obediently hand over the Alchemy Furnace without Madman Li having to lift a finger.
"Bang, bang—"
With the swiftness of Chen Tianlong’s movements, two loud explosions erupted, as the Qi Bomb and the fifth form of the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist were finally executed by Chen Tianlong.
Strictly speaking, the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist should only be executed at Profound Dao Five Stars or higher, but Chen Tianlong couldn’t wait that long. He enforced it now to see if it would succeed, using a gradual progression method to increase the chance of success.
Chen Tianlong’s fists instantly multiplied into eight, larger than before, and full of power.
At the same time, the Qi Bomb exploded violently on Madman Li, accompanied by a heavy fire attribute attack, causing a cloud of black smoke to rise from his chest.
"Pff..."
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from Madman Li’s mouth!
He couldn’t believe it, staring at Chen Tianlong, disbelieving that he could be injured by a mere Profound Dao Two Stars fighter. Breaking through his Qi shield was already difficult even for a fellow equal-level expert!
But Chen Tianlong successfully broke through his Qi defense and managed to injure him!
The second layer of Chen Tianlong’s Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique was specialized in countering such Qi defenses, otherwise, he wouldn’t have even bothered trying. How could a Profound Dao Two Stars compete with a Celestial Dao Five Stars?
After delivering that hit, Chen Tianlong didn’t stop but unleashed the fifth form of the Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist again, striking solidly at the exposed opening on Madman Li’s chest, previously broken by the Qi Bomb!
This move, although not as powerful as when combined with the Qi Bomb earlier, still packed a significant punch after breaking through Madman Li’s Qi protection.
After unleashing the Frenzied Dragon Fist, Chen Tianlong watched as Madman Li regained his composure from his stunned disbelief. He promptly turned around and quickly retreated, avoiding direct confrontation with Madman Li.
The earlier move, the fifth form of the Frenzied Dragon Fist combined with the Qi Bomb, had already caused some injury to Madman Li. The subsequent move further stirred the blood in his chest, making him spit another mouthful of blood!
However, these injuries were just minor injuries, nowhere near enough to incapacitate Madman Li.
Even so, Madman Li’s expression was cold and ominous. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, he glared icily at Chen Tianlong: "Very good, you have some skills! But you’re still nothing special!"
"Hey, Old Dong, doesn’t feel good, does it?" Chen Tianlong taunted Madman Li verbally, while inwardly calculating. Can he take the chance to escape? What are the chances of a successful escape?
"Hmph, your last move, if I’m not mistaken, was three moves!" Madman Li wasn’t foolish. By carefully analyzing, he could see that Chen Tianlong had actually used three moves when he attacked.
Chen Tianlong frowned slightly. This Madman Li wasn’t dumb; he could differentiate the Qi Bomb, Inch Force, and Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist: "What’s wrong with unleashing them simultaneously?"
"Fine, I won’t fuss over that with you!" Madman Li said coldly: "I’ve taken your moves, now shouldn’t you hand over the goods?"
"The goods... I already said, if you want them, come and take them yourself!" Chen Tianlong replied.
"What? You’re not keeping your word, trying to deceive me?" Madman Li’s face immediately turned ugly.
"Deceive you? When did I deceive you? Old Dong, I’ve never considered you a person, just an old dog!" Chen Tianlong laughed heartily while secretly signaling Wu Mengting to find an opportunity to escape!
Earlier, Chen Tianlong had gone all out, using his full range of skills, yet still couldn’t do much to Madman Li, even though the Qi Bomb wasn’t fully compressed.
But time was tight, and Chen Tianlong really had no other means against this old thing!
The strength gap of cultivating to Celestial Dao Five Stars step by step isn’t something a few clever martial techniques and ordinary hidden cards can bridge.
"Alright, very well, since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being impolite!" Madman Li was truly furious, yes, he was really angry! Angry that Chen Tianlong wasn’t keeping his word.
He actually went back on his word!
That’s why he allowed Chen Tianlong five moves, yet he didn’t expect such a youngster to face him so boldly.
As he spoke, his face turned ashen, a flush of red rising, filled with fierce killing intent!
Wu Mengting didn’t want to leave Chen Tianlong to escape alone, but she had no choice. Chen Tianlong was fighting tooth and nail to protect the Divine Cauldron in her arms!
If this Divine Cauldron were taken, all of Chen Tianlong’s efforts would be in vain!
And staying here would undoubtedly become a burden to Chen Tianlong, so the two girls, under Chen Tianlong’s subtle indication, turned and intended to run!
"You want to run? Stay behind together!"
Madman Li was truly infuriated. Earlier, he hadn’t planned to hurt this girl, intending to capture her and let those elders handle her, but if they attempted to escape, he might have to ruthlessly injure the girl first.
As Madman Li finished speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a powerful, compelling Qi surged from his body, and his figure formed an afterimage, with an imposing pressure, moving toward Wu Mengting!
Startled by the surge in Qi, his robe billowed out, buzzing ominously—clearly he was genuinely angered, holding nothing back!
Chen Tianlong didn’t expect Madman Li to abandon him and shift his attack to the fleeing Wu Mengting, causing a frown! It seemed his calculations were mistaken; even in rage, Madman Li hadn’t lost his focus and still remembered his objective.
