Chapter 925 - 923: Finally Out of Danger
Boom!
Surrounding them was grass; otherwise, dust and mud would have been flying everywhere. Even so, the powerful shockwave forced everyone nearby to close their eyes.
The two stepped back two paces each, but Chen Tianlong’s heart was tumultuous. This person wasn’t just as simple as a one-star path but was infinitely close to two stars. During the collision just now, Chen Tianlong was actually injured, but he endured it with sheer willpower.
"Hmph, you do have some skills. Let’s go!"
Thunder Wolf was also surprised to see Chen Tianlong unscathed. If he really had such skills, he might indeed be able to kill three hundred elite soldiers.
"Yes!" Everyone obeyed the order, turned, and left.
After those people had walked some distance away, Chen Tianlong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft," startling Liu Ting, who hurriedly went to support him.
Lin Kaitai was very surprised. What kind of courage did it take to contend with these people?
Clearly, the guy in front of him had done it. At this moment, Lin Kaitai couldn’t help but hold Chen Tianlong in high regard. No wonder his brother wanted him as the Chief Instructor.
"I’m sorry, previously I didn’t recognize a great person, Instructor Nie, you truly are skilled, my apologies!" Lin Kaitai finally relented.
"Haha, no need to be courteous; I’m not a master, merely using a slight trick to get by." Chen Tianlong, not daring to take credit, turned around and started to walk back.
The three of them walked for about ten minutes before a large number of trucks appeared ahead. It turned out to be reinforcements called by Lin Jun.
Seeing the three of them safe, the Lin Family was overjoyed. Once they approached, without a word, they were put into the vehicles and quickly headed back to the Lin Family Mansion.
A storm had passed; during this period, Thunder Wolf probably wouldn’t dare to attack. Last night, over a hundred elite soldiers were killed or injured, all by one person, so he sent people to investigate who that person really was!
However, the turmoil in East City had subsided, but new trouble arose in the Ice Hall.
Why did conflict arise in the Ice Hall so quickly? There are two reasons.
First, the Ice Hall Master’s cold poison had already started to flare up, causing unbearable pain every night and fatigue during the day. Clearly, it was the perfect time for an attack by Ice City.
Second, after Hao Shuai joined the Fang Family, he wanted to use them to unify the Ice City, so he urged Fang Dali to quickly attack the Ice Hall.
Thus, the war began.
Last night, while East City was fighting against the Qilin Tribe, North City began its assault on the Ice Hall. It was the best time to prevent East City from aiding the Ice Hall, which was the shrewd plan of Hao Shuai.
In this battle, the Ice Hall suffered grievously, with its seven Protectors and over 30,000-strong guard army led by Matchmaker fighting against North City’s 50,000 elite soldiers, barely avoiding total annihilation, now holding fast to the gates of Ice Hall City.
After the battle, the Ice Hall had only 12,000 of its 30,000 guard army left, while North City, despite significant losses, had 35,000 remaining. Thus, with three times the numbers, if the gates were breached, the Ice Hall would surely fall.
Inside the Ice Hall.
"Bring me my battle gear; I want to fight!" The icy, beautiful face of Bing Ruxue showed a trace of pallor, clearly somewhat powerless. But seeing her sisters dying one by one defending the city while she could only watch from within, was a deeply painful thing.
"Hall Master, that’s absolutely unacceptable. You’re as unstable as it is sitting on horseback, how can you fight others?" Matchmaker advised, "If you get killed, our soldiers will fall into chaos, and a complete defeat could ensue."
"Then...should I just watch as my sisters die? I can’t allow it; I must go out!" Bing Ruxue was stubborn, and when no one brought her armor, she went to get it herself.
However, just a few steps away, she heard a thump. When she turned back, she saw Matchmaker kneeling on the ground. Following this, the surrounding Protectors also knelt, pleading with her not to go to war.
If Bing Ruxue remained within the city, with the palace’s 20,000 guards painstakingly reinforced, they might withstand for one to two weeks. If she went out now, the Ice Hall might fall in less than two days.
Seeing everyone kneeling, Bing Ruxue was moved to tears, "Why are you all doing this? Get up now, at this critical moment, if I don’t go out, should we just wait for death?"
"Hall Master, I have an idea!" Matchmaker suddenly recalled someone; previously, it was he who cured the Hall Master’s illness. If they could find him, maybe there would still be hope for Ice City.
"Matchmaker, just say it, what idea!" Bing Ruxue asked anxiously.
"Chen Tianlong!"
"Chen Tianlong?" Bing Ruxue was stunned and instantly thought of that man she longed for day and night. But he was in the faraway South Sea City, and she didn’t even know how he was now. If they went to find him, would he come? Moreover, could the Ice Hall hold on until he arrived?
All of this was uncertain.
"Yes, only he can save you, and perhaps when he comes, he can help save Ice City too." Matchmaker remembered Chen Tianlong, suspecting he wasn’t that simple. If her guess was correct, he might already be a master by now.
"But...how can I find him!" Bing Ruxue hesitated for a moment, clearly agreeing.
"Send someone to break through the encirclement, rush to South Sea City, and search for Chen Tianlong." This was the only plan Matchmaker could think of.
"But breaking out, and after getting out, going to South Sea to find someone, can we make it in time?" Bing Ruxue didn’t have much confidence.
"There’s no other way; he’s our only hope." Matchmaker said firmly.
"Alright then, do as you say. Execute immediately." Bing Ruxue gave the order.
On the road from South Sea City to Ice City.
"Wushuang, Tianlong is really inconsiderate, going on a trip without us. Hmph, too bad, he’s definitely thinking of ditching us, leaving us wives behind, sneaking off to flirt with new girls." Lu Xiaoyu angrily complained.
Lin Wushuang, who was driving, was also a bit upset.
She had confessed her feelings directly, yet he ignored her, secretly going on a trip without saying a word, infuriating!
Little did they know, Chen Tianlong had gone on vacation with his girlfriend, and the young lady was Wu Mengting’s arch-enemy. How could he possibly take her along, especially with Lu Xiaoyu’s big mouth around, no doubt leading to big trouble within a few days.
"Oh, Chen Tianlong doesn’t like us, does he? Isn’t he ready to leave us?" At this point, Lin Wushuang felt inexplicably lost.
If Chen Tianlong really were to leave her, what would she do?
Some things can’t be forgotten just because you want to, and some people, you can’t give up just because you decide to, just like her and Chen Tianlong. If the day came that Tianlong left, Lin Wushuang didn’t know if she’d ever find happiness again.
Maybe she’d spend a lifetime trying to forget!
"I think Chen Tianlong wouldn’t do that. He definitely won’t leave us, Wushuang, believe me, he won’t." Lu Xiaoyu tried to comfort herself, though she wasn’t even sure if Chen Tianlong would truly choose them.
As they were caught in their thoughts, suddenly a loud "bang" came from in front, dust and smoke billowed, followed by a car rolling into a roadside ditch, exploding in a frightful scene, causing the two young women to quickly stop the car.
