Chapter 894 - 892: Celestial Dao Divine Artifact
It seems that the plan to let Mengting escape alone amidst the chaos is not feasible. Madman Li doesn’t fall for Chen Tianlong’s trick at all; his eyes are fixed on the Divine Cauldron in Wu Mengting’s arms.
With no other option, Chen Tianlong had to brace himself and charge forward. With a swift step on the ground, accompanied by a sharp burst of Powerful Qi, Chen Tianlong’s body nearly transformed into a lightning shadow, standing in front of Wu Mengting!
Having undergone speed trials before, Chen Tianlong possessed such astonishing speed, which was not inferior to Madman Li, but though he blocked the attack, he received two dull thuds to his chest and abdomen, sending Chen Tianlong flying, crashing heavily onto the ground!
"Kid, I haven’t even used Martial Technique yet, and you’re already so defenseless?" Madman Li coldly stared at the fallen Chen Tianlong.
"A Celestial Dao Five Stars expert, is this all you’ve got..."
Chen Tianlong stood up from the ground, honestly admitting that Madman Li’s attack without Martial Technique was more overwhelming than Fang Dali’s major move yesterday, but Chen Tianlong didn’t resist; instead, he used all his effort to shield himself with Qi. In mid-air, he started utilizing the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique to heal, but even so, Chen Tianlong knew he couldn’t withstand many moves!
Therefore, Chen Tianlong had to come up with a solution, or else he might meet his end here today.
Glancing at Wu Mengting holding the Divine Cauldron, Chen Tianlong made a decision. From Madman Li’s attack earlier, it was clear that his primary target was the Divine Cauldron held by Wu Mengting.
If Chen Tianlong took the Divine Cauldron from Wu Mengting and sprinted towards Lin Kaifeng in East City, what are his chances?
Although Chen Tianlong possessed incredible speed, he wasn’t entirely confident in escaping, but if he gritted his teeth and didn’t care about the cost? Turning his back to Madman Li, disregarding the attacks, and keeping a breath held while continuously running the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique to heal, without any defense as he ran?
In such a situation, the chances might become fifty-fifty. As long as Chen Tianlong doesn’t collapse and keeps running, he could reach East City and be safe.
But if Madman Li couldn’t catch Chen Tianlong, would he take a different approach to deal with Mengting?
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, preparing to escape. However, Madman Li seemed to have seen through Chen Tianlong’s intentions and coldly said, "Kid, don’t even think about running. If you dare to run, I’ll kill your female companion first and then chase after you!"
Madman Li saw Chen Tianlong’s hesitation, directly threatening him.
"Despicable..." Two words slipped from Chen Tianlong’s mouth. He didn’t expect Madman Li would see through his plan. Although he was upset, there was nothing Chen Tianlong could do!
Regardless of whether Madman Li’s words were true, Chen Tianlong didn’t dare to test them.
"A petty person is no gentleman; a ruthless man is no warrior." Madman Li dismissed, "I was planning to leave you in one piece, but you’ve exhausted my patience. Kid, you may as well die now!"
Madman Li said, raising his hand, revealing a soft whip!
A weapon...
Chen Tianlong gasped. It was said that Celestial Dao experts could enhance their Martial Technique with a personal Divine Artifact, greatly increasing its power, yet Chen Tianlong had never witnessed it before. He didn’t expect his first experience would be here!
And earlier, Madman Li’s non-Martial Technique hit had already overwhelmed Chen Tianlong. Though he bought some time and his injuries had mostly recovered, he didn’t expect this guy to bring out a weapon.
Chen Tianlong’s mouth twitched. His luck really seemed down, facing constant setbacks in the Southern District Mountain Range. Could it be that his previous fortune was too good, and his reputation depleted during his time in the South Sea City?
"Do you really need a weapon to deal with someone as weak as me?" Chen Tianlong took a deep breath.
"Hmph!"
Madman Li ignored Chen Tianlong. He could see that the youngster before him was quite cunning, not missing any chance to turn the tables. If that was the case,
He wouldn’t hold back, rapidly raising the soft whip, which instantly became enveloped in a layer of blue Qi, swiftly lashing towards Chen Tianlong: "Overturning Rivers and Seas - First Style!"
A massive force surged towards Chen Tianlong, instantly shocking him.
Not daring to take it head-on, he hugged Wu Mengting behind him, utilizing the Inner Power Heart Method to shield both himself and Mengting with Qi. His footsteps spun quickly, dodging to the side.
"Boom!"
The soft whip landed where Chen Tianlong had just stood, the tremendous power impacting the blue bricks, resulting in a loud explosion.
Those blue bricks then flew under the tremendous energy, shattering and spreading, leaving a massive crater at the location where the blue bricks used to be!
Even though Chen Tianlong dodged quickly, he stumbled from the Qi carried by the soft whip. The clothes on his right arm tore open with a long cut, gouging a deep wound visible to the bone, leaving a mess of flesh and blood.
Too strong!
This was Chen Tianlong’s only thought. Even after dodging and under the protection of Qi, the Qi from the soft whip inflicted this severe wound. Not to mention what would have happened if he had been hit directly.
Indeed, just as Madman Li said, if it had struck, it would have been a fatal blow, leaving him here.
As the dust settled, feeling his nearly numb right arm, a grim expression crossed Chen Tianlong’s face. The terrifying capabilities of this Celestial Dao Five Stars expert, reached step by step, far exceeded Chen Tianlong’s Profound Dao Two Stars abilities by multiple times, leaving him increasingly bitter at heart.
"Quick dodging!"
Madman Li sneered, his previous move clearly not aimed, just a casual strike. He paid it no mind, merely joking, "I’ll play a game with you, old man whips you five times. If you can withstand it, then I’ll let you go, how about that?"
Chen Tianlong’s mouth twitched. This old thing seemed to be toying with him. The first style of his Martial Technique just displayed, already showed unimaginable power when amplified by a Celestial Dao Five Stars expert and the weapon. If this guy used his strongest move, would there be any chance of surviving?
Let alone five moves, even dodging another seems unlikely for Chen Tianlong!
"Alright, it’s a deal!" Although aware that the old man was fooling around, he had no choice but stand firm in desperation.
"Better not die too quickly, that would be too boring!" Madman Li withdrew the whip, looking up with a sinister smile at Chen Tianlong, raising his right hand swiftly again, his body shifting slightly, declaring, "Overturning Rivers and Seas - Seventh Style!"
Good heavens!
Hearing Madman Li’s call, Chen Tianlong felt nearly blood-spitting angry. The first style was used just now, and at once it had jumped to the seventh style? Knowing that the strongest Martial Technique for a Celestial Dao Five Stars expert could very well be the seventh style, this guy clearly intended to finish him in a single move!
