Chapter 1435 - 1432: Battle Against the Assassin Group (Part 1)

Chapter 1435: Chapter 1432: Battle Against the Assassin Group (Part 1)

"Heh, it’s just that you’re too slow to catch me. You’re talking yourself up as if you’re so great," Chen Tianlong retorted without hesitation.

"You..."

Kuang Shengtian was at a loss for words. It was true though, facing Chen Tianlong’s Flying Shoes, he really was powerless; even driving couldn’t keep up.

"What’s ’you’, hurry up, the Assassin Group has already been overtaken by our main forces. If you know what’s good for you, surrender quickly, and I’ll let you keep your body intact. Otherwise... hmm, it’ll be rough when those brothers down the mountain catch you."

Chen Tianlong learned from Wu Guangzu that the forces down the mountain were soldiers whose homes had been ravaged by the Sabina people, so if Kuang Shengtian fell into their hands, he would definitely be torn to pieces.

"Hahaha, who will emerge victorious is still unknown!"

A voice came from the sky. A figure flashed and suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Chen Tianlong was stunned and looked intently. He was all too familiar with this person, it was Hao Shuai.

Ever since the Forbidden Land incident, where Hao Shuai almost died from a blow by Chen Tianlong, he would have been dead if it weren’t for Wang Xue saving him.

At this moment, Hao Shuai walked up to Kuang Shengtian’s side and said to Chen Tianlong and the others, "I never expected to meet my archenemy here. It seems that today, one way or another, we must settle old and new scores."

Hao Shuai had mastered the Poison King’s Scripture, and now with his boosted confidence, he considered himself really formidable, not realizing that while he was getting stronger, others were also becoming powerful.

"Fine, let’s settle it then and see how you want to reckon with me!"

Chen Tianlong said nonchalantly. Speaking of reckoning, the Xue Family could never repay the murder of his parents in their lifetime.

With that, Hao Shuai moved first, eager to test if the Poison King’s Scripture was as powerful as the legend claims. He gathered a surge of Powerful Qi in his palm and charged forward.

At this moment, members of the Assassination Team quickly launched their attack. They had been waiting for this moment; if they didn’t act now, they were just decorations. Normally when the leader is in action, the subordinates should also fight; now that the leader had already had a battle, the minions can’t just sit back and watch.

The eight of them rushed forward in unison, stabbing their swords towards the charging Hao Shuai, and seeing everyone getting involved, Gu Yuxin decided she couldn’t be left behind, so she quickly followed suit.

Chen Tianlong never expected the Assassination Team to attack at this moment, but it was already too late.

Hao Shuai furrowed his brows. He initially wanted to launch a severe attack on Chen Tianlong when he was unprepared, hoping not just to injure but to incapacitate him. However, he didn’t foresee encountering such a bunch of fools disrupting his plan.

This was Chen Tianlong’s stroke of luck; otherwise, Hao Shuai might have succeeded, since Chen Tianlong was unaware of Hao Shuai’s sinister cultivation techniques.

Since it wasn’t Chen Tianlong, Hao Shuai saw no need to use the strongest move of the Poison King’s Scripture. However, he had an idea at that moment: "Chen Tianlong, aren’t you good at healing? Let’s see how you handle this."

Then, when everyone launched their moves, Hao Shuai directly pushed forward with both palms, a thick black fog immediately penetrated the eight who approached. Fortunately, as Gu Yuxin was a step late, she wasn’t harmed immediately, but seeing her, Hao Shuai lunged towards her, intending to deal another strike.

Suddenly, Chen Tianlong appeared in front of Gu Yuxin, standing firmly without dodging. Hao Shuai, seeing Chen Tianlong foolishly rushing over to shield Gu Yuxin, was overjoyed; this was precisely the effect he wanted.

"Chen Tianlong, don’t!"

Gu Yuxin looked at the Assassination Team members lying all around, then looked at Chen Tianlong, unwavering as he stood in front of her, suddenly a fear of impending loss gripped her.

However, all this happened within mere seconds, as quick as lightning.

On the side, Wu Guangzu was wide-eyed, unable to believe the result. Just moments ago, everything was fine, and then suddenly this tragedy unfolded.

Soon, Hao Shuai’s palm struck Chen Tianlong’s chest, and an unbelievable scene unfolded. Chen Tianlong stood motionless, as if the strike had no effect on him.

But in the next moment, Hao Shuai was in for trouble.

"Boom..."

After a loud bang, Hao Shuai was sent flying backward, a blood snake trailing in the sky formed by the fresh blood spewing from his mouth.

Kuang Shengtian was shocked and quickly ran over, seeing the almost white-eyed Hao Shuai, he was frustrated, finally realizing Chen Tianlong’s formidable strength.

He thought, this time it’s a definite loss. Although he had troops down the mountain, the enemy also had forces attacking. If he too were suddenly taken down, the army’s morale would surely collapse resulting in defeat.

The best course now was to retreat and call for reinforcements.

Thinking of this, Kuang Shengtian grabbed Hao Shuai from the ground and jumped over the nearby cliff. After all, he was a follower of the Celestial Dao, and such a jump wasn’t much of an issue.

After jumping down one step, Kuang Shengtian found something resembling a kite among a pile of weeds. He strapped Hao Shuai onto it and ran along the edge of the Assassin Group’s cliff.

This was a thousand meters high. He hadn’t reached a level where he could jump down directly without being killed by the fall, so he used the flying kite to help him descend.

Seeing Hao Shuai trying to escape, Wu Guangzu pursued him. However, when they reached a small cliff, Kuang Shengtian jumped down without hesitation. Wu Guangzu hesitated and decided not to chase after him.

This person had lived in the Assassin Group for some time, and who knows what traps or hidden weapons he might have set below. It was not wise to deliver oneself to danger.

However, the next moment, Wu Guangzu saw a flying object heading down the mountain, leaving him extremely surprised.

Meanwhile, Kuang Shengtian was already slowly walking away.

Wu Guangzu shook his head, feeling a bit upset, but he remembered his Assassination Team and hurried back.

At the entrance of the Assassin Group’s peak, Fang Mou and Wu Mengting were guarding the door. Suddenly, a large group of soldiers retreated, presumably to protect Kuang Shengtian.

But they never expected to fall into an ambush as soon as they reached the entrance of the Assassin Group’s peak.

This was a strategic location, where one person could hold off thousands. So, the three stood there, and the two hundred plus people below couldn’t even advance.

A row of archers finished shooting, then a general led dozens of warriors to charge upward.

But as soon as they reached four or five meters from the entrance, Wu Mengting suddenly swung her sword. Her Celestial Dao Seven Stars peak strength was formidable. A powerful wave of sword qi directly struck the enemies, causing countless deaths and injuries. The wounded were frozen with extreme cold, suffering greatly.

This was the ice qi Wu Mengting had previously absorbed that hadn’t been fully used yet. Her attack was terrifying. Although the leader was a Celestial Dao Seven Stars peak Grand General, facing Wu Mengting’s equal strength and ice attribute attack, he could only withstand a beating.

The battle lasted half an hour, and of the two hundred people trying to break through, about a hundred were soon gone.

Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong had already sorted everything out, and Wu Guangzu ran back, looking at the Assassination Team members in agony on the ground, feeling very distressed.

Gu Yuxin observed that Chen Tianlong was unharmed and was very surprised but extremely happy. He actually shielded her from attacks, so she exclaimed excitedly, "Chen Tianlong, why were you so reckless just now? You could have died."

"Hehe, but I didn’t die, did I? I saw he was going to hit you, so I rushed over without thinking. Besides, I was operating my cultivation technique at the same time. Even if he hit me, I wouldn’t die."

Chen Tianlong was still humorous. He thought that despite Hao Shuai’s strength as a Celestial Dao Seven Stars Great Perfection, a strike from Hao would at most make him spit blood, without serious harm, so he hadn’t thought much before taking the hit.

However, Chen Tianlong never imagined that he would only feel discomfort for an instant before recovering immediately.

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Tianlong struck Hao Shuai with a palm, and Chen Tianlong was already at the extreme of Celestial Dao Seven Stars Great Perfection. It was the moment when the enemy was most off-guard after finishing a move, and Hao Shuai was indeed careless.

So what was the reason?

Why didn’t Hao Shuai’s Poison King’s Scripture have any effect on Chen Tianlong? It was because of the Demon Exorcism Technique; it not only dispelled the evil qi and demon qi of demons and monsters, but trivial poison was no match for it.

If Hao Shuai knew the reason for all this, he would surely faint in tears. The Heaven-defying Technique he had painstakingly cultivated turned out to be useless against this enemy. Oh heavens!

"Junior Brother Chen Tianlong, Kuang Shengtian took Hao Shuai and ran away, damn it!" Wu Guangzu said somewhat sullenly.

"Well, don’t chase them. My goal has already been achieved; let him run if he must. It’s a pity for those who have been loyal to him all this time." Chen Tianlong said.

At this time, there was suddenly a muffled noise behind them. The two turned around and saw Xu Pei had struck his own crown, and he was dead.

This was the sorrow of a soldier; he thought being loyal to his master was enough. But unexpectedly, his Young Master was so heartless, abandoning him to save his own life, deserting a thousand soldiers.

Thinking of this, he wanted to end it all.

Chen Tianlong shook his head, knowing there was no solution. Two countries at war, each serving their own master. Xu Pei was indeed a tough man; after the battle, Chen Tianlong planned to give him a proper burial, worthy of such a figure.

"Chen Tianlong, quickly come and see these brothers, they seem to have been poisoned."

Gu Yu looked at them all over with some horror, some foaming at the mouth.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong also discovered the situation and hurried over. The most seriously injured person was Lin Yi, the deputy captain, who was in the forefront during the charge and was injured more severely.

Actually, they were lucky that Hao Shuai didn’t intend to kill with a single blow, thinking it would leave Chen Tianlong with someone to heal; otherwise, with the final strike of the Poison King’s Scripture, they would be dead for sure.

Except for Chen Tianlong’s extraordinary physique and cultivation technique, almost none survived.
