Chapter 900 - 898: Fury
"Chen Tianlong, just wait. One day, I’ll kill you myself," Shi Xiaohong cursed angrily.
This time, he was truly frightened. Who exactly is this Chen Tianlong? How does he become stronger the more powerful his opponents are? Wasn’t he just a one-star Profound Dao a few days ago? How did he suddenly become a three-star Profound Dao? Has this guy been hiding his true strength all along?
Thinking of this, Shi Xiaohong gasped, covering his mouth, afraid to speak.
"Alright, hurry up and get out of here. Come back to brag when you have the skills." Chen Tianlong couldn’t stand such people, those who pretend to be capable without actually having the ability. If it weren’t for Wu Mengting being around, he would really want to take a slap at these people to rid of future trouble.
"Hmph, just wait and see!" Shi Xiaohong, along with Lao Jiu and Lao Shi, walked down the mountain feeling dejected.
Seeing the three have already left, Chen Tianlong also breathed a sigh of relief and returned to Wu Mengting’s side. He picked her up, ready to use Flying Shoes to go down the mountain.
Just as he was about to leave, a shout came from behind: "Kid, where do you think you’re going?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong was taken aback, and when he looked up, he saw an old guy standing on a large rock halfway up the mountain.
Whoa!
Chen Tianlong was shocked. Isn’t this the crazy old man from before? Why isn’t this guy leaving after taking the Divine Cauldron?
Feeling both annoyed and anxious, Chen Tianlong still thought about escaping, considering he was already holding Wu Mengting and had to at least try: "Mengting, hold on tight. I’m going to run away."
Wu Mengting nodded.
Thus, Chen Tianlong quickly activated the Heart Method of the Flying Shoes, started to stride and began sprinting away.
Madman Li noticed something was wrong, knowing Chen Tianlong was trying to escape. His face flashed a cold smile, and he leaped up, instantly disappearing into the grayish twilight.
Chen Tianlong covered about a hundred meters of trails, believing the old man wouldn’t catch up.
"Chen Tianlong, in... in front," suddenly Wu Mengting pointed at a black figure in front and shouted.
Girls are very sensitive to such dark things, so her reaction was even quicker than Chen Tianlong’s. Hearing this, Chen Tianlong focused his eyes and indeed, it was that old man, suddenly stopping in his tracks.
It seems the Flying Shoes can’t surpass Celestial Dao five-star masters.
Actually, whether he can escape doesn’t depend on the shoes but on the person’s abilities. Chen Tianlong’s ability still has too much disparity with Madman Li; the two aren’t on the same level of speed.
If Chen Tianlong’s speed is like a motorcycle, Madman Li’s would be a Ferrari sports car.
"Haha, run? Why aren’t you running?" Madman Li turned around, looking at Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting, laughing proudly.
"Hmph, I’m tired from running, can’t I take a break?" Chen Tianlong didn’t admit defeat and was thinking of ways. After leveling up twice, if he uses the Powerful Qi Bomb along with the Flaming Dragon-Subduing Fist, would it work better?
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong immediately activated the Heart Method, preparing to gather the Powerful Qi Bomb.
But just as it began, Madman Li seemed to receive a signal and with a flash, he appeared in front of Chen Tianlong, then pulled out a long whip and lashed out.
Chen Tianlong felt frustrated, having to dodge while holding Wu Mengting.
Luckily, this time no significant harm was caused, just the powerful Qi shockwave shaking a bit.
Now Chen Tianlong’s moving speed allows him to dodge other’s attacks, but if the old man keeps attacking without pause, it’ll only take a few more moves before he can’t run anymore, since using Ghost Shadow Flash continuously expends a lot of stamina.
Indeed, Madman Li seemed to see through Chen Tianlong’s moves, staying still and lashing at him more than a dozen times. By the thirteenth time, Chen Tianlong couldn’t run anymore, holding Wu Mengting in his arms, not sure what he was thinking.
"Mengting, if I get caught later, I plan to jump directly off the cliff. As long as you hold on tight to me, nothing will happen," Chen Tianlong instructed again.
"And what about you? Will you be okay?" Wu Mengting quickly asked.
"Well..."
Chen Tianlong didn’t want to deceive Wu Mengting, but feared she’d push him away if he told the truth. After all, jumping down like this, even with Qi protection, his organs would be shattered, and probably wouldn’t survive.
"Hehe, I should be fine," Chen Tianlong ultimately lied to Wu Mengting; faced with death, he had to make a choice.
Can’t believe, after struggling for so long, he still has to die at someone else’s hands. Chen Tianlong felt immensely unwilling in his heart, but this is reality.
With Madman Li’s long whip about to fall, yet nothing happened for a long time.
Chen Tianlong found it strange, opened his eyes directly, and in front of them still stood an elder, though not very old, maybe around fifty, or even younger.
From the back, Wu Mengting was startled, how this person was so similar to her father, Wu Shengtian.
But her father is just an ordinary doctor, how could he possibly come to Ice City, let alone appear here.
"Dad, is that you?" Wu Mengting tentatively called out.
And the person in front turned around, wearing a mask, suddenly spoke: "Little girl, did you mistake someone? I don’t know you, just couldn’t stand this old guy bullying two kids."
This person’s voice was magnetic, a bit too fake. It might fool Wu Mengting, but here stands a professional assassin.
Chen Tianlong could tell the person’s mask contained a voice changer. Whether it was Mr. Leng, he wasn’t sure, given he didn’t have much contact with his father-in-law, not close enough to recognize even from the back.
"Oh, turns out it’s not father." Wu Mengting, upon hearing the different voice, immediately felt disappointed.
If a passerby were to save them, might they run away if unable to fight? But if it were her father, wouldn’t it be looking for death? There was still some suspicion, but the next actions of the person made Wu Mengting firmly believe.
This person wasn’t her father Wu Shengtian.
The masked man grabbed Madman Li’s long whip and casually flung it, sending Madman Li flying. What incredibly powerful force must this be to achieve such an effect?
Evidently, Madman Li was also shocked. He never thought he’d encounter such a strong opponent in Ice City.
He’s already Celestial Dao five-star, yet with just a light flick, he can’t withstand it. So what exactly is this person’s strength?
Can’t tell, simply can’t tell, must be even stronger than him.
In Madman Li’s mind, after reaching the peak late stage of Celestial Dao seven-star, one basically can’t advance any further. To this day, those reaching that level were only a few elders from Ancient Times.
In the past several hundred years, rarely anyone has been seen in that tier, which is rumored to be called Extreme Dao.
Extreme Dao isn’t divided into seven stars according to the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow, it only has four stages. Extreme Dao Initial Stage, Mid Stage, Late Stage, Late Stage Peak Great Perfection.
