Chapter 1468 - 1465: Heaven-Sent Reinforcements (Part 2)

Chapter 1468: Chapter 1465: Heaven-Sent Reinforcements (Part 2)

He couldn’t afford not to concentrate, if Kuang Chenggong made a sneak attack, wouldn’t he be done for? So, while showing off, he couldn’t afford to joke with his life, right?

At the same time, Wu Mengting slowly crept along the mountain wall, sneaking behind a large rock behind Kuang Chenggong, hiding beneath it, waiting for the right moment. Clearly, Chen Tianlong also noticed this, so he started to take action.

"Come on, old man Kuang Chenggong, hurry up and wrap it up."

Chen Tianlong pretended to be very impatient and said.

When Kuang Shengtian heard this, he got angry right away, and his fists started to clench, seeming ready to strike. This time Chen Tianlong wasn’t as foolish; as Kuang Chenggong was still preparing to strike, he immediately blocked with the Dragon Slayer Sword in front and tightened his grip, while simultaneously starting to run the Heart Method Mantra at high speed.

"Go to hell!!"

Suddenly Kuang Chenggong shouted, his whole body shooting like a flame towards Chen Tianlong, while Chen Tianlong didn’t stop. He stomped his right foot, and his form turned into a swift Sword Qi, rising rapidly.

"Boom....."

Chen Tianlong’s Dragon Slayer Sword collided with Kuang Shengtian’s exceptionally hard Divine Fist, creating a loud bang, then both shot skyward, each surrounded by a protective layer produced by the high-speed operation of their Powerful Qi.

This protective layer grows stronger in defense with increasing strength.

The two attacked each other at a distance of four or five meters. Chen Tianlong’s Sword Qi continuously darted fiercely, while Kuang Chenggong kept pounding with one Phantom Iron Fist after another towards Chen Tianlong, visibly making Chen Tianlong very strained defensively.

After a dozen rounds, Chen Tianlong was hit, flying and crashing to the ground, spitting blood. At this moment, Kuang Chenggong was overjoyed, slowly descending, relaxing his guard, and the protective circle gradually dissipated.

Suddenly, a figure flew out from behind Kuang Chenggong; Wu Mengting, exerting her full strength, used the South Nether Technique’s strongest move so far, hitting Kuang Chenggong’s back precisely and squarely.

This left Kuang Chenggong stunned, his body trembling, clearly having his Inner Strength absorbed.

In the next moment, a trace of a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. This technique he had seen before resembled the Star Absorption Technique; he had studied it for a while. Though he didn’t know how to break it, he managed to escape.

Kuang Chenggong took a deep breath, suddenly snapping his hands backward, transferring a powerful Qi from his back to Wu Mengting’s hands instantly.

"Boom...."

Wu Mengting was blown away by the powerful airflow but wasn’t severely harmed. The noise was merely Kuang Chenggong’s Qi explosion, breaking her absorption.

"Damn it, you bitch, go to hell."

Wu Mengting floated in mid-air after being bounced off; Kuang Chenggong immediately recovered, crouching to charge a punch, preparing to rush forward and kill Wu Mengting in mid-air.

Lying nearby, Chen Tianlong saw this and felt something was wrong. He hurriedly scrambled up, ignoring his sharp pain, shouted while racing towards them.

But how could he catch up? He was already more than ten meters away from Kuang Chenggong, whose speed was faster. Seeing this, Chen Tianlong was on the verge of collapse, desperately sprinting forward, hoping for a chance.

As Kuang Chenggong’s fist, blazing with fierce flame, rushed fiercely towards Wu Mengting’s fragile body, one could imagine the next blood-soaked scene; Chen Tianlong dared not think further.

At the critical moment, suddenly a white figure flashed out, as fast as lightning, a mysterious figure like a celestial being.

"Boom..."

Even Kuang Chenggong didn’t know what happened; his fist didn’t hit Wu Mengting but collided with another person’s fist.

Running, Chen Tianlong was stunned because the person he saw was none other than his third senior brother Wu Guangzu. But Wu Guangzu seemed off; his eyes were red and unfocused.

"Not good, senior brother has succumbed to demonic possession."

Chen Tianlong finally realized that Wu Guangzu had lost his mind and likely in his last conscious thought remembered his Assassin Group brothers, inadvertently saving Wu Mengting.

After landing, Wu Mengting immediately scrambled up, having witnessed the thrilling scene as well.

Upon seeing Wu Guangzu in front of her, hair disheveled, eyes red yet vacant, Wu Mengting also felt something was amiss. Suddenly Wu Guangzu turned his head swiftly and glanced at Mengting, startling Chen Tianlong, who quickly rushed over, grabbed Wu Mengting, and fled to the side.

Kuang Chenggong also recognized the oddity in Wu Guangzu, a malicious smile flickering in his eyes.

He had felt the profoundness of this person’s Inner Strength without knowing his true power, certainly not weak, so he seized the opportunity to kill him before he grew wary.

Thus Kuang Chenggong began to gather power in his hand, suddenly leaping into the air, delivering a downward palm strike towards Wu Guangzu’s crown.

But he was wrong. Although Wu Guangzu was indeed in a state of demonic possession, he had reached the Great Perfection Limit of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars, and his reflexes were extraordinarily sharp.

Just as Kuang Chenggong was about to launch a successful ambush, Wu Guangzu swiftly dodged aside, causing Kuang Chenggong to miss.

The next moment, Kuang Chenggong was in trouble, because Wu Guangzu had already shifted his focus onto him. Those possessed by demons are usually mindless, attacking anyone who poses a threat or is guided to attack others.

And at this moment, Kuang Chenggong’s previous actions had already enraged him, locking onto him as a target.

Wu Guangzu drew the Blood Shadow Saber from his body, its cold gleam flashing. Kuang Chenggong felt greatly frustrated, urgently keeping a wary eye on Wu Guangzu’s direction.

With a whoosh, Wu Guangzu had already stabbed forward, and Kuang Chenggong quickly dodged, but as he steadied himself, he saw Wu Guangzu once again stab forward with another whoosh, his rapid actions leaving people speechless.

Kuang Chenggong was incredibly frustrated at this moment, finally facing a tough situation. Wu Guangzu’s moves had revealed his strength—having reached the Great Perfection Limit of the Celestial Dao Seven Stars, instantly intimidating Kuang Chenggong.

At the outset, they might have fought to a draw, or even achieved victory, as Wu Guangzu seemed rather clumsy at the time. However, after a few encounters with Chen Tianlong, his stamina had noticeably drained.

Just as he was lost in thought, Wu Guangzu swung his sword in attack, forcing Kuang Chenggong to leap up to counter.

After several exchanges, Kuang Chenggong felt pressured and had no choice but to flee. He used Sword Control to fly upward, but Wu Guangzu wouldn’t let him go, tossing his sword to chase after, also employing Sword Control.

Chen Tianlong watched as both men demonstrated Sword Control like himself, his eyes widening in surprise, unaware that Wu Guangzu had learned Sword Control just by observing Kuang Chenggong’s techniques moments earlier. Wu Guangzu’s aptitude was extremely high, almost like another Chen Tianlong.

The two pursued and fought in the air above the Assassin Group with their Sword Flight.

Seeing this, Chen Tianlong thought of the brothers down the mountain. The previous battle had cost him over a thousand soldiers. Chen Tianlong had promised the Ancient Celestial Dragon to borrow the brothers for assistance, and now things had become dire, making him feel guilty.

Therefore, he planned to go down to assess the situation. Chen Tianlong, accompanied by Wu Mengting, hurried down. Upon reaching the small grove, he saw the two armies beginning to clash.

Kuang Shengtian, worried about his father’s safety, directly employed his trump card, the Fire Bomb.

At that moment, they brought over two hundred Fire Bombs. After the initial attack on the small grove and suffering heavy casualties, they began using the Fire Bombs, initially intended for the assault on the mountain.

Instantly, the entire grove was engulfed in flames, causing severe casualties to the Assassin Group’s guard squad.

Wang Meng led a thousand elite soldiers hidden atop the canyon, launching a sneak attack from behind, killing many enemy troops, but due to being outnumbered, ultimately sacrificed heroically.

In the blink of an eye, the guard squad of the Assassin Group, including reinforcements, had dwindled to only two thousand men.

After a burst of gunpowder explosions, the traps in the small grove were almost rendered useless, forcing a hand-to-hand combat situation. The opposing forces still had over twenty thousand troops, with more than ten thousand reinforcements at the foot of the mountain.

At this rate, the Assassin Group would soon lose control.

Although there were still some mechanical traps at the end of the grove, facing an army of twenty thousand, they couldn’t hold for long. Ru Nian frowned deeply seeing this, unsure of the situation above. Kuang Chenggong’s feats were too formidable; if Chen Tianlong couldn’t hold on, everyone would be buried here.

"Senior Brother Ru Nian, what should we do? The main army is about to come up. Damn, we never expected fire bombs, otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to advance. There are so many traps in the grove, we could’ve killed thousands of them."

Ding Kong was also extremely frustrated, acknowledging that human plans couldn’t match the heavens.

After considering, Ru Nian knew they might die here today. If Chen Tianlong failed, they essentially had no way to survive.

Though they were two thousand men, how could they withstand Kuang Shengtian’s twenty thousand troops? If Chen Tianlong won, there might be a way out, which involved escaping through the secret path of the Forbidden Land.

Kuang Shengtian looked at the bend ahead, recognizing it as the final turning point, thus slowly advancing with his forces.

At this moment, Ru Nian had already arranged archers, determined to wait for Chen Tianlong’s appearance, unwilling to leave even if it meant death.

Because retreating meant death, Ru Nian had previously witnessed Kuang Chenggong’s might; without Chen Tianlong, two thousand men, or even twenty thousand, likely couldn’t win.

The enemy troops slowly approached, closer, closer still.

Suddenly, at Ru Nian’s order, arrows rained down densely, stirring chaos at the mountainside, with screams ringing out. However, the archers were sparse, having lost too many arrows in the previous battle, now barely equipped.

"Brothers, prepare your gear, let’s fight!" Ru Nian shouted.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Hidden team members began moving, having long disregarded life and death, now determined to fight fiercely.
