Chapter 1384 - 1383: Rematch with Kuang Shengtian
"Haha, this beauty really has personality, I like it." Kuang Shengtian started laying on the flattery.
"Hmph, I can’t be bothered with you."
Gu Yuxin couldn’t even be bothered to talk, she just drank her tea on her own.
Kuang Shengtian instantly felt a sense of defeat. Soft didn’t work, then he’d go hard, so he started threatening: "You’d better not refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
At this moment his underlings all surrounded them, and Gu Yuxin was startled by the situation. In her heart she thought: This guy is disgusting, people already said no and he still clings on like a leech, I’ve never seen such a shameless person.
But on the surface Gu Yuxin still said, "What do you think you’re doing, in broad daylight no less, you actually dare do something to me?"
"Haha, that’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard." As soon as Gu Yuxin finished, she heard Kuang Shengtian laughing loudly in mockery, and the lackeys at the side joined in making a racket.
Now Gu Yuxin was fired up. She might not be some peerless master, but she absolutely couldn’t tolerate being laughed at.
"A bunch of nutjobs, laugh laugh laugh, is it that funny?"
Gu Yuxin’s eyes were practically spitting fire as she cursed.
"Hmph, don’t think just because you’re a woman I don’t dare touch you. Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me for being rude." As he spoke, Kuang Shengtian shaped one hand into a claw and grabbed toward the front of Gu Yuxin.
"Ah!"
Gu Yuxin was startled by the move and hurriedly leaned back.
But suddenly a big hand grabbed Kuang Shengtian in one go, and then Chen Tianlong turned around with a wry smile.
"Damn it, who are you? You actually dare get in the way of my business." Kuang Shengtian had just finished cursing when he saw a familiar face slowly turn around.
"So it’s you, Chen Tianlong. Looks like we really are destined enemies." Kuang Shengtian was a bit excited now, because the man he’d been desperately hunting for was right in front of him.
"Yeah, it’s me. I told you, don’t miss me too much."
Chen Tianlong simply relaxed, because he’d already learned Unity of Man and Sword. Even though he hadn’t clashed head-on yet, just looking at today’s setup, Kuang Shengtian hadn’t brought many people, so he felt there was no big problem.
"Hmph, acting all arrogant. So you’re all in this together, huh? Good, I’ll clean you up all at once later." As soon as Kuang Shengtian finished, a bunch of men in black drew their swords and thrust forward.
"Catch those two women alive, kill the man without mercy."
Even while giving orders, Kuang Shengtian didn’t forget to reserve two beauties for himself. You could tell this guy was insanely lecherous.
Chen Tianlong stepped on one end of a long bench, the bench flew up, then he followed through with a kick. The bench shot straight at the advancing men in black, and in an instant a large chunk of them went down.
Chen Tianlong shielded Wu Mengting and the other girl, retreating a few steps, then ordered, "Mengting, Yu Xin, when you get the chance later, run. Find an opportunity to regroup outside."
"Okay, got it. Chen Tianlong, be careful." Wu Mengting nodded in understanding and said.
"I’m going too." Gu Yuxin was still fuming, only thinking about giving Kuang Shengtian a vicious beating.
"Quit fooling around, this isn’t a game. Those guys are all experts. Wu Mengting, hurry and get her out of here." Chen Tianlong couldn’t worry about too much right now and could only instruct Wu Mengting.
"Mm, Chen Tianlong, don’t worry." Wu Mengting agreed.
"Who asked you to protect me?" Gu Yuxin’s temper was just like that—tell her not to go and she’ll insist on going.
Gu Yuxin was the first to charge forward. Chen Tianlong was speechless when he saw this sudden move, but worried something might happen, he had no choice but to draw his sword and rush after her.
Kuang Shengtian had been staring at Chen Tianlong’s Dragon Slayer Sword the whole time, so his attention wasn’t on the two little chicks. He just let out a cold laugh and swung his sword, thrusting at Chen Tianlong.
The people in the hotel saw a fight break out and all left their tables, running outside, while the lady boss hid under the counter, not daring to come out. The place was instantly in chaos.
Chen Tianlong leaped, using an Eagle Step to land directly on the three men in black swinging swords at him. With a loud "crack," the three were smashed onto the long bench, and the bench snapped clean in two.
Kuang Shengtian also jumped onto a table. The two stood with their swords pointed at each other, eyes locked. Kuang Shengtian was clearly full of rage, while Chen Tianlong remained extremely calm.
The two faced off for a moment, then Kuang Shengtian suddenly moved.
He leapt up, slashing toward Chen Tianlong at high speed. Chen Tianlong spun upward, Sword Qi around him being forced aside. Kuang Shengtian seized the opening and lunged in a lightning-fast thrust.
But at that speed, how could he possibly hit Chen Tianlong? With a "whoosh," Chen disappeared from his original spot and then struck from behind Kuang Shengtian with a single sword thrust.
Kuang Shengtian’s reaction wasn’t slow either. He quickly brought his sword up to block behind his back, both hands straining to hold up the blade that Chen Tianlong was pressing down hard.
Kuang Shengtian was secretly stunned. He never imagined that after just half a month apart, Chen Tianlong’s Swordsmanship and strength would have improved so rapidly.
Kuang Shengtian heaved with all his strength and finally broke free of Chen Tianlong’s pressure, hurriedly dodged to the side, then immediately raised his guard to the highest.
"Hey kid, did you take some kind of steroid or what? How’d you suddenly get so damn strong?" Kuang Shengtian asked gloomily, a bit in disbelief.
"Heh, why do you care what I took? In a bit I’ll beat you till you’re spitting teeth all over the floor." Seeing him a little rattled, Chen Tianlong deliberately fanned the flames to scare him.
"Hmph, don’t get happy too soon. I only said you’ve gotten stronger than before, not that you’re stronger than me."
As he spoke, Kuang Shengtian swung his sword and pressed the attack. At this moment he launched a fierce offensive, and used the Kuang Family’s Ultimate Skill, Phantom Divine Skill.
Kuang Shengtian gripped the sword with both hands; suddenly the blade turned blood-red, like it was drenched in blood, slowly spreading over the entire edge. Then he leaped into the air and hacked down with all his might.
This sudden move gave Chen Tianlong a scare. He hurriedly raised the Dragon Slayer Sword to block, but the next moment he realized that the Sword Qi carried a huge amount of Magic Power.
His mind instantly went blank, as if bound by something, and his hand loosened unconsciously.
"Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong with you?"
Wu Mengting had been tensely watching from the side. Suddenly she noticed something off about Chen Tianlong—his mind seemed dazed and heavy with sleep—so she immediately shouted.
Seeing the situation was unclear, Wu Mengting couldn’t be bothered with anything else. She drew her sword, sprang into the air, and stabbed forward.
Kuang Shengtian was feeling pleased when he suddenly sensed a sneak attack. He instantly withdrew his sword and slammed a palm into Wu Mengting’s chest.
"Damn, why is it you?"
Seeing that it was Wu Mengting, Kuang Shengtian suddenly realized his Palm Force had been a bit too heavy and felt a twinge of reluctance.
Struck by that palm, Wu Mengting was sent flying and crashed to the ground, immediately coughing up a mouthful of blood, almost fainting on the spot. Fortunately her constitution wasn’t weak, or she might have suffered extremely severe internal injuries.
Just after Kuang Shengtian’s sword left him, Chen Tianlong snapped back to his senses and saw that Wu Mengting was hurt. He took several steps back, rushed over to her, and scooped her up in his arms.
"Mengting, how are you? Don’t scare me, okay?"
Chen Tianlong saw the blood at the corner of Wu Mengting’s lips and asked in deep worry.
"Cough, cough, I—I’m fine, it’s just a little injury. Chen Tianlong, don’t worry about me, go." Wu Mengting forced down the pain and gave a faint smile as she spoke.
Seeing that Wu Mengting wasn’t in critical danger, Chen Tianlong finally relaxed a little, then slowly rose to his feet and glared angrily at Kuang Shengtian.
At the same time he recalled what had just happened and found it strange. Could Kuang Shengtian’s move be an Evil Sect technique that causes people to lose their minds?
So next, Chen Tianlong grew wary; he absolutely could not engage him at close range. With that thought, Chen Tianlong decided to go all out and finish him in one strike.
After the two of them faced off for several seconds, Chen Tianlong suddenly used Sword Control Skill. He flew forward, shuttling around Kuang Chenggong.
Kuang Shengtian hurriedly exerted all his strength to fend him off, once again activating the Phantom Divine Skill. But this time, Chen Tianlong wasn’t so easily bewitched and lost in mind.
In the midst of his piercing assault, Chen Tianlong directly accelerated and unleashed the Unity of Man and Sword technique. Kuang Shengtian froze, his eyes widening, because he realized that in just a few seconds he had been hit by more than a dozen sword strikes. Although he used his internal force to protect his vital spots, these wounds were still highly lethal to him.
In an instant, Chen Tianlong completed the piercing combo, then flashed out, Dragon Slayer Sword in hand, dropping into a half-squat behind Kuang Shengtian. Fine streaks of blood dripped from the Dragon Slayer Sword.
"Thud."
With a sound, Kuang Shengtian fell to his knees, his treasured sword clattering to the ground. His right hand clutched the wound on his left shoulder, teeth gritted in pain.
"Tss..."
The pain all over his body made Kuang Shengtian involuntarily suck in a sharp breath; he was on the verge of tears.
"Boss, how are you?!"
The black-clad man who had been fighting Gu Yuxin saw Kuang Shengtian collapse and was shocked. He hurriedly ran over and raised his sword to guard him.
"Cough, cough..."
Chen Tianlong had just been about to thrust his sword when he heard Wu Mengting coughing. He immediately withdrew, took one look, and was startled—she had spat out another mouthful of blood onto the ground.
"Mengting, what’s wrong with you?" As he spoke, Chen Tianlong pressed his fingers to her pulse.
"Not good, her pulse is in utter chaos."
Chen Tianlong’s Medical Skill was superb; with one reading of her pulse he knew Wu Mengting was in serious trouble.
