Chapter 1391 - 1390: Battle Against the Power God
At this moment they saw a towering, burly hulk standing not far away with a Great Guan Saber in his hands; this was Kuang Chenggong’s Left Protector, the one people called the Great Power Divine General, Li Qianchou.
A light breeze blew past, lifting his long beard. He brushed it once with his hand, then looked at Chen Tianlong with a hint of contempt.
"So this is all there is to Sword God Zhuge Yun’s so‑called Unity of Man and Sword back then. Truly disappointing." Li Qianchou sneered.
"Hmph, you’re not allowed to insult Senior Zhuge Yun, and don’t get cocky too early either." As he spoke, Chen Tianlong gripped the Dragon Slayer Sword tightly, then chanted, "Dragon Slayer Sword, grant me your strength. Let us make this ignorant madman who insults my master pay the price."
In an instant, the Dragon Slayer Sword burst into a dazzling orange light. A surge of power slowly flowed into Chen Tianlong’s palm. Seizing the moment, Chen Tianlong immediately circulated his Qi, and as his Powerful Qi erupted, his body began to slowly rise.
"Unity of Man and Sword."
Chen Tianlong shouted and merged as one with the Dragon Slayer Sword. With a "whoosh," he shot straight at Li Qianchou.
Li Qianchou was stunned for a split second, then the next heartbeat he began to chuckle coldly. Chen Tianlong was fully focused and failed to notice his expression.
Li Qianchou clapped his hands together, then slowly sank into a half‑crouch. A barrier appeared around his body, growing larger until it enveloped him completely, the barrier shimmering with golden light.
At this moment, Wu Guangzu inadvertently saw this and cried out in his heart that things were bad. He immediately thought of warning Chen Tianlong and shouted, "Chen Tianlong, don’t attack him, that’s the Golden Bell Divine Skill!"
But it was already too late. Man and sword as one, Chen Tianlong had already charged over. With a thunderous boom, wind and sand whipped wildly as Chen Tianlong slammed into the Golden Bell Shield, triggering a violent explosion. His whole body was blasted more than ten meters away before crashing heavily to the ground. After spitting a mouthful of blood, Chen Tianlong fell unconscious.
The so‑called Golden Bell Divine Skill is a sinister kind of Martial Arts. Once cultivated to Great Perfection, whenever it is activated, not only does the attacker fail to injure the one being struck, the Golden Bell Divine Skill even rebounds double the attack back at the assailant.
Obviously, this time Chen Tianlong was struck by his own doubled attack power; one could imagine how terrifying that was.
Chen Tianlong was now lying motionless on the ground. Seeing this, Wu Guangzu could no longer care about anything else. He dashed over in a single stride, lifted Chen Tianlong up, and checked his breath, then finally let out a sigh of relief.
"As long as he’s not dead."
Third Senior Brother Wu Guangzu exhaled deeply, then turned back and glared furiously at Kuang Shengtian and Li Qianchou.
"You’ve injured my junior brother to this state. Our Assassin Group will never let you go." Wu Guangzu said harshly.
"Hahaha, what a joke. He’s the one who came at me, and his skills weren’t up to par so he ended up hurting himself. Now you’re saying I hurt him? Brother, are you even listening to yourself?"
Knowing these people posed no threat to him, Li Qianchou began to act high and mighty.
"Exactly, exactly, all I saw was Chen Tianlong failing to kill anyone and then taking himself out instead. Hahaha, that was just too satisfying." Kuang Shengtian finally had a chance to vent. With his father’s Left Protector here, who was he supposed to be afraid of?
"You all..."
Wu Guangzu gnashed his teeth in rage, but for the moment he couldn’t afford to clash with them again. He had to quickly think of a way to save Junior Brother Chen Tianlong.
Wu Mengting, seeing Chen Tianlong lying motionless on the ground, immediately retreated as well. The black‑clad men advanced slowly with Kuang Shengtian.
"Mengting, in a moment you grab Chen Tianlong and run. I’ll hold them off." This was the only plan Wu Guangzu could come up with.
Wu Mengting hesitated for a moment, looked at the unconscious Chen Tianlong, then nodded in agreement.
Wu Guangzu suddenly stood up, crossed his hands and spun them a few times. The sword on his back flew out of its sheath with a "whoosh" and hung in midair. Wu Guangzu pushed upward with both palms, and the treasured sword split into countless blades.
Suddenly Wu Guangzu shouted, "Ten Thousand Swords in Unison!" Instantly, innumerable swords shot out, attacking the surrounding black‑clad men and Kuang Shengtian together.
Wu Guangzu then turned his head and gave Wu Mengting a meaningful look. Wu Mengting immediately understood, and as she bent down, Gu Yuxin hoisted Chen Tianlong onto Wu Mengting’s back.
Wu Mengting was heavily weighed down by Chen Tianlong, almost unable to breathe.
No wonder; a girl carrying a grown man was naturally exhausting. Fortunately, Wu Mengting was now an advanced cultivator, her physique fairly strong, so she grit her teeth, bore Chen Tianlong on her back, and began to run.
The black‑clad men, seeing someone trying to escape, hurried after them. Gu Yuxin swung her sword to intercept, temporarily holding the black‑clad men back. Wu Guangzu unleashed every skill he had, doing his utmost to pin down Kuang Shengtian and Li Qianchou.
Because they were on a street, Wu Mengting soon disappeared around a corner. The only place she could think of now was the Hua Sai Courtyard.
Thus, staggering under Chen Tianlong’s weight, Wu Mengting made her way toward the Hua Mansion, already drawing on every last ounce of her strength.
"Chen Tianlong, you have to hang on. Divine Doctor Hua will definitely save you."
Wu Mengting muttered to herself.
After Wu Mengting left, Wu Guangzu felt a bit more at ease. Seeing Gu Yuxin still fighting at his side, he gave a knowing smile. So there was another woman willing to risk her life to save Chen Tianlong; he couldn’t help feeling a twinge of envy toward Chen Tianlong.
"Hahaha, only you two left. And with Chen Tianlong pretty much done for, you might as well go keep him company." Kuang Shengtian said, waving his hand as the black‑clad men began to close in, and Li Qianchou also started to move.
Wu Guangzu quickly leapt up, then swung with all his might, tearing up a sheet of earth from the ground and hurling it at the encircling black‑clad men.
The next instant, however, a Great Guan Saber came cleaving down at his head. Wu Guangzu hastily brought his sword up to block, but the saber’s power was immense, driving his feet straight into the ground up to the soles of his shoes.
Wu Guangzu was shocked; Li Qianchou truly possessed innate Divine Power, every move overwhelmingly strong. He realized he couldn’t keep tangling with him; escaping as soon as possible was the wisest course.
So Wu Guangzu quickly retreated, then with a leap flew to Gu Yuxin’s side, taking two steps back to brace against her back.
"Yu Xin, in a moment I’ll cover the rear. You leave first, I’ll come after." Wu Guangzu said softly.
"Mm, got it. Be careful."
Gu Yuxin replied and turned to deal with the attacking black‑clad men.
Wu Guangzu did a backflip, then swept his leg sideways like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, sending a group of black‑clad men crashing to the ground. He then shouted, "Yu Xin, run!"
"Alright, you be careful."
Receiving the signal, Gu Yuxin turned her head, said this line, and quickly ran toward an empty area.
But after only a few steps, she heard a dull thud. She looked back and was startled—Wu Guangzu had been smashed by a punch from Li Qianchou and sent flying.
