Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense - Chapter 349 - 347: Inverted Heavenly Gang, Reverse Threat!

The saying goes, “Know your enemy and yourself, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.” Tu Hongwu dared to block the entrance of the Buddhist Sect, but how could the Buddhist Sect not investigate Tu Hongwu’s situation?

Do you think they really aren’t afraid of Su Mo appearing suddenly?

They are afraid, extremely afraid even.

It’s precisely because of this fear that they don’t dare to attack Tu Hongwu.

But it’s not just that they don’t dare to attack him; it’s a mutually exploitative relationship.

Tu Hongwu uses the reputation of the Buddhist Sect to broadcast his whereabouts to the world.

And isn’t the Buddhist Sect also constantly monitoring Tu Hongwu’s every move?

The huge commotion earlier was just a tactic to confuse Tu Hongwu.

The main reason is that the three factions within the Buddhist Sect currently cannot come to an agreement; some want to kill Tu Hongwu directly, while others want to capture him alive.

Killing him is actually very simple; a single slap would make the entire Dragon Sect disappear instantly.

However, if they wish to capture him, that would be more troublesome.

It is precisely because of this that so much time has been wasted, and so many elaborate schemes have been devised.

Some people are afraid that if Tu Hongwu sees there’s no escape, he might go down fighting, risking everything. Although the fish is dead, the net might not necessarily break.

But what they want is not a dead fish.

If what they end up with is a dead fish, everything would become very simple.

Killing Tu Hongwu is easy, and for Su Mo to kill them would also be simple.

So, everything is very simple.

A massive Buddhist image waved a hand in mid-air, and 200 Dragon Sect members floated in the air. In just a brief moment, runes covered their bodies, immobilizing them, while a gigantic cleaver and a countdown timer hovered above their heads.

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that when the time is up, the cleaver will fall directly.

This is what they call the “Buddhist virtue of benevolence”!

In the void, Old Long’s expression turned incredibly grim because he found himself like a fish trapped in a tank.

Although he could clearly see the outside world, he couldn’t escape no matter what.

Moreover, this space was continuously shrinking; soon, they would inevitably be captured.

“What to do!”

Old Long asked anxiously.

“Hand me over. They won’t dare to kill me, but you might not be so lucky.

If I’m still with you, they won’t dare to kill anyone.

But after you hand me over, whether they or you survive, or what you become if you do survive, I can’t guarantee.”

Tu Hongwu’s words plunged Old Long into deep thought once again.

He was acutely aware of the Buddhist Sect’s methods; in just 20 short years, it had risen from a small force in the Little Cosmos to a top sect in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, showcasing their formidable methods.

Before Old Long could speak, Tu Hongwu spoke again: “There’s another way; you can kidnap me.”

“???”

Old Long was baffled at hearing this. What do you mean I should kidnap you?

Do you think I’m not dying quickly or miserably enough?

You want me to kidnap you!

“Listen to me, I now place my life in your hands. Threaten them; make them release the others, or just kill me, then find another way; if it doesn’t work out, hand me over…”

Before Tu Hongwu could finish, Old Long immediately rejected: “No way!”

“Listen, even if you don’t hand me over now, as this space continues to shrink, we still won’t be able to escape! Do as I say!”

A moment later, Old Long’s elderly voice echoed from the void: “Release the Dragon Sect members, or I’ll kill Tu Hongwu now!”

As those words were spoken, not just the Dragon Sect members, but even the Buddhist Sect members were stunned.

Weren’t they supposed to be allies?

Weren’t they supposed to escape together?

Using the life of an ally to threaten the enemy, what kind of strange tactic is this?

If such a threat actually works…

The Dragon Sect members were tense, trembling, not daring to say anything.

The giant Buddha statue also paused in the air, silent for a long time.

Apparently, he hadn’t expected the other party to pull such a stunt either.

Although he could guess that this was a plan they had conspired, and Long would surely not kill Tu Hongwu.

But they didn’t dare to gamble.

Even a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone a dragon.

After a long silence, the giant Buddha statue slowly spoke, “I can release half…”

The Dragon Sect members were stunned on the spot, realizing that threatening others with an ally’s life actually worked!!!

Just as they were excited, without waiting for the Buddha statue to finish speaking, Old Long interrupted, “Then I’ll release half too!”

The giant Buddha statue was rendered speechless; he meant releasing half of the people, but Long’s notion of releasing half was something else entirely!

The Dragon Sect members were left dumbfounded; such a maneuver was unbelievable and unprecedented!

The atmosphere descended into silence again; neither the Buddhist Sect nor the Dragon Sect members spoke, and the confining space continued to contract swiftly.

Old Long noticed something wrong immediately; it was evident they were stalling for time until there was no room to escape, and they would catch him directly.

Tu Hongwu decisively severed one of his arms on the spot. The scene shocked Old Long, even turning his face pale with fright.

“This is just a superficial wound; it hasn’t hurt the Origin at all. Recovery is merely a blink of an eye. Now, throw this piece out to them and see what they say.”

To an ancient dragon who’s lived over hundreds of thousands of years, life and death are no surprise, but that also depends on whose life and death.

For ordinary people or the bloodline of their Dragon Race, he wouldn’t bat an eyelid if they died in front of him.

But this time was different with this big figure; if anything happened to him, Old Long didn’t dare imagine the consequences.

He especially couldn’t envision what the world would look like after the destruction of heaven and earth.

However, the situation had escalated to this extent; he knew that any further hesitation might lead to catastrophe.

The next moment, Old Long threw a bloodied arm out from the void.

Then his figure flickered again and disappeared.

As he reappeared, two giant hands reached out in his direction; even the surrounding space began collapsing swiftly.

But they still couldn’t catch Old Long.

“This is the first and the last time. You said you’d release half the people; I’ll release half to start with. Here’s one of Tu Hongwu’s hands. If you don’t release the others soon, I’ll throw more things out later.

Or, if I sense any threat to my life, let’s all perish together!”

A bloodstained arm fell slowly from mid-air toward the ground.

The giant Buddha statue looked at the arm, its once resplendent and solemn visage turning white with fear.
