The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Seeing Ling Chen being forced back by a single move from He Honggang, Ling Gengqiu’s expression changed involuntarily, and he hurried over. However, before he could get close, both Chen Younian and Su Cheng’en, who had been keeping an eye on his movements, stepped forward to block his path.

Ling Gengqiu glanced at the two of them and nodded, saying, "Fine, let’s take this opportunity to settle our old scores."

"Hmph!" Su Cheng’en sneered dismissively, "I’m afraid you’re not up to it."

"You’re still the same, talking too much." With that, Ling Gengqiu wasted no more words and charged directly at the two of them.

Seeing the three of them tangled in a fight, Ling Chen gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his body, and slowly propped himself up against the wall, once again heading towards He Honggang not far away.

"You’re coming again?"

Ling Chen shrugged without speaking and silently raised the Wave-cutting Sword in his hand. Seeing his gesture, He Honggang frowned, lightly tapped his toes, and once again moved forward like a gust of wind, rushing towards Ling Chen’s body. His speed was too fast; Ling Chen only felt a blur before him, and before he could defend himself, that figure had already closed in, colliding with him.

Puff!

Another mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Still want more?" He Honggang said coldly.

Ling Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, used the Wave-cutting Sword to prop himself up, and slowly stood up. However, due to his severe injuries, his body wobbled, as if he might collapse at any moment.

"You’re still young. There’s no need to waste your life here. Take my advice: hand over that corpse, and I’ll spare your life. If you choose to follow me, perhaps I can even teach you the secrets of immortality."

"Immortality?" Ling Chen wanted to laugh but ended up coughing. He staggered and walked in front of He Honggang, saying, "Is there really someone in this world who can be immortal? You’ve seen it yourself; those people like you all ended up dead."

"The reason they died is that they didn’t comprehend the secret of immortality. As long as you hand over that corpse to me, I’m sure I can find a way to immortality."

"Didn’t you hear me earlier? That corpse has already been destroyed, and your path to immortality is cut off. He Honggang, give up. This world is fair; no one can enjoy life eternally."

"That’s because your vision is too short-sighted." With that, He Honggang swung his arm, and a powerful force instantly erupted, sending Ling Chen flying.

After falling three times in a row, Ling Chen felt as if his bones were all broken, and even moving a finger was incredibly painful, let alone standing up. Moreover, under the intense pain, his vision gradually blurred, and his consciousness wavered, as if about to lose consciousness.

No!

I can’t fall yet... Ling Chen thought to himself, gathering his spirits and slowly sitting up from the ground, then bit his own tongue. Instantly, the sharp pain jolted him wide awake.

Seeing Ling Chen rise again, He Honggang’s cold eyes showed a trace of admiration.

"To be honest, you are a very talented young person. If not for your stubborn opposition to me, I would have kept you by my side to train you well."

Ling Chen, pale and feeble, replied, "I appreciate your goodwill, but unfortunately, we’re not on the same path."

"Very well, since such talents as yourself can’t be used by me, I might as well destroy you myself." He Honggang said, raising his arm to strike Ling Chen’s head. If this hit landed, no matter how tough Ling Chen was, it would be the end for him.

Whoosh!

At that critical moment, the sound of something piercing through the air came. He Honggang’s eyes narrowed as he quickly turned and swung his arm. Instantly, an arrow was swatted to the ground by him.

Ling Chen looked closely to see that Qiu Yong and the others had somehow arrived.

"Sixth brother, are you alright?"

"Big brother, you all..."

Qiu Yong smiled and said, "The Eight Oddities never abandon their brothers. Even if it means death, we’ll accompany you to the netherworld."

"Good, very good!" He Honggang clapped his hands and nodded, "Your brotherly bond is truly touching. In that case, let me oblige you all by sending you off together."

With that, he tapped his toes and leapt high into the air like a hungry eagle diving into a crowd.

"Everyone, be careful," Qiu Yong shouted, leading the group to quickly dodge, forming a circle to surround He Honggang in the center.

Taking this opportunity, Ling Chen glanced at the battle situation on Ling Gengqiu’s side. Although Ling Gengqiu was not weak, facing the combined attack of Chen Younian and Su Cheng’en, he was somewhat overwhelmed, with several close calls that left Ling Chen worried. With his current condition, Ling Gengqiu might not hold out for long.

No! I have to find a way to take one out.

While contemplating, a shrill cry reached his ears. Turning his head, he saw that Qiu Yong and the others had already struck, with Zhang Zhongfeng, Yang Chen, and Wei Jiahao supporting from outside, while the others engaged in close combat. However, He Honggang’s strength was too great, among them, only Yu Beifeng was a Heavenly List expert, while the others were in the Earthly List realm; even combined, they couldn’t match a single hand of He Honggang.

As soon as the fight started, Xia Yue was knocked flying, spitting blood continuously, clearly losing combat capability. Seeing this, Ling Chen gritted his teeth and, ignoring his injuries, rushed over, leaping with both legs and striking with a palm.

Sensing the wind from behind, He Honggang quickly turned back, and upon seeing that it was Ling Chen charging at him, a smirk appeared on his lips, carrying a trace of disdain.

"Get lost!"

Meeting Ling Chen’s attack, He Honggang casually struck out, intending to knock him back. However, at the moment their palms connected, He Honggang’s mocking smile suddenly froze as he looked at Ling Chen in disbelief. It was then he noticed that Ling Chen’s eyes had turned deep red, appearing extremely bizarre.

"Get lost!" Ling Chen shouted, and all the Qi Force in his body surged wildly, concentrated on his right palm. Instantly, He Honggang’s face turned pale, and he was unexpectedly sent flying.

This sudden change caught everyone present by surprise, especially Chen Younian and Su Cheng’en, who found it hard to believe. Everyone knew He Honggang’s level of strength, and to see Ling Chen drive him back was astounding, even as they witnessed it themselves.

Puff!

He Honggang, who had been knocked to the ground, slowly stood up, his gaze fixed fiercely on Ling Chen, asking word by word, "How did you do it?"

"Don’t you think you talk too much?" With those words, Ling Chen slid his foot, deploying the Nine Yang Qiankun Step in an instant, charging straight towards He Honggang.

Strike while he’s down!

Seeing this, Qiu Yong and the others didn’t hesitate and followed suit.
