Chapter 1474 - 1471: Chen Tianlong’s Complete Victory

Chapter 1474: Chapter 1471: Chen Tianlong’s Complete Victory

A few seconds later, the two met for the first time. Chen Tianlong did not draw his sword, but instead leaned back to evade Kuang Shengtian’s horizontal cut. Then, he quickly returned to his original position, and after being carried forward by inertia for several meters, he immediately turned his horse around.

At this moment, Kuang Shengtian was furious. Just now, Chen Tianlong hadn’t drawn his sword, and yet he managed to dodge so easily, making Kuang Shengtian feel utterly useless.

Therefore, he decided that this time he must give Chen Tianlong a painful lesson.

Hastily, Kuang Shengtian pulled the reins to turn his horse around. This time, he didn’t strike so early; he wanted to approach and judge Chen Tianlong’s direction before making his move.

Chen Tianlong seemed to see through his intentions. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, and as he rushed forward again, he directly drew the Dragon Slayer Sword. Against the morning sun, the sword glinted with an entrancing silver light.

Kuang Shengtian initially thought Chen Tianlong would dodge again, but unexpectedly the kid started to draw his sword, leaving him no choice but to swing his own sword to block.

However, he found Chen Tianlong’s sword to be more powerful than he imagined. With just one block, the force almost knocked the treasured sword from his hand. Before Kuang Shengtian could be astonished, Chen Tianlong brushed past him, but just as Kuang Shengtian thought he might get away, he suddenly felt a large hand clutch his shoulder.

"Ah?"

Before Kuang Shengtian could react, he found himself separated from his horse, falling to the ground.

With a heavy thump, Kuang Shengtian landed on the ground, rolled several times, and then came to a stop, dust swirling around, making him look terribly disheveled.

Clearly injured, Kuang Shengtian struggled to get up. At this time, the Huaxia troops laughed mockingly, while a group from the Sabina army charged over, evidently here to rescue the situation.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Kuang Ba asked worriedly, though he could see there wasn’t much harm. Still, this was their Young Master, and if anything happened to him, they would surely suffer.

"Don’t mind me, I want to kill that kid Chen Tianlong." Kuang Shengtian was clearly humiliated beyond measure, now left with no dignity, forgetting even his mission for this trip.

Kuang Ba was mortified at his words, hurriedly whispered, "Young Master, Young Master, don’t forget our mission this time. A wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him; let’s endure for now."

Upon hearing Kuang Ba’s words, Kuang Shengtian suddenly remembered his mission, quickly patted his own head, and said, "Ah, I nearly messed up the important matter."

So, Kuang Shengtian took a few steps toward the Huaxia troops and loudly shouted, "Chen Tianlong, I will definitely avenge this grudge; it’s just not the right time yet. Also, I have some good news for you: your Senior Brother Wu is currently being hunted by various sects. Whether he’s alive or dead is uncertain; all I know is that he’s gone mad. Hahaha."

After saying this, Kuang Shengtian felt much better, having vented his anger. Feeling happier, he rode back to his army and then retreated.

Chen Tianlong was initially glad, but upon hearing Kuang Shengtian mention Wu Guangzu’s situation, his brow furrowed, reminded of a similar phenomenon he encountered in the Assassin Group, insane and deranged.

Before long, the Sabina army retreated. Generals Zhao Zhuo and Jiang Yun were initially stunned, thinking Chen Tianlong’s battle had frightened them away, rode over, and laughed, "Brother Chen Tianlong, you are indeed mighty, scaring the enemies with just a few moves."

Chen Tianlong didn’t say much, merely bitterly smiled along, but his mind was preoccupied with Senior Brother Wu’s matter. Wu Mengting seemed to notice Chen Tianlong’s thoughts, rode over, jumped down from the horse, and concernedly asked, "Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong? Was it because Kuang Shengtian mentioned Senior Brother Wu?"

Chen Tianlong slightly lifted his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "I need to return to the Capital City once. Senior Brother Wu was definitely harmed by villains; he’s already fallen into demonic possession. We must find him and take him to someone stronger to heal him, to eliminate the chaotic Qi left in his body."

"Alright, then we should go back and discuss with Ancient Celestial Dragon," Wu Mengting was indifferent about wherever Chen Tianlong went, wherever it was, heaven’s end or earth’s corner.

Chen Tianlong nodded, and the two mounted their horses together, slowly following the main troops back.

Before long, the group returned to their tents, and at this time Ancient Celestial Dragon excitedly walked over and said, "As expected, as soon as Chen Tianlong stepped in, the enemy was scared shitless. I heard you knocked their main general embarrassingly to the ground in just two rounds."

"Haha, actually everyone is over-praising; I just randomly grabbed, and happened to catch it."

Chen Tianlong didn’t want to flaunt his prowess, albeit Kuang Shengtian indeed wasn’t his opponent, but right now his biggest concern was Wu Guangzu, not the current win or loss.

Chen Tianlong also reckoned this time Kuang Shengtian took the risk to come, must have been to let him know this matter.

And though Chen Tianlong knew it was a trap, Wu Guangzu remains the most emotionally connected Senior Brother he has in the Assassin Group except for Little Junior Sister Wang Xiaoya; no matter what anyone says, he won’t abandon Wu Guangzu.

So, at this moment, Chen Tianlong has decided that he must go to the Capital City to take a look.

"Leader Gu, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

Chen Tianlong said somewhat embarrassedly that because he finally managed to stay in the military camp for a few days, and now he had to leave immediately, the Ancient Celestial Dragon would definitely be upset. However, for the sake of Wu Guangzu, Chen Tianlong couldn’t care about much else.

"Oh? Just speak your mind, Chen Tianlong. We’re all on the same side now, there’s no need to be so polite." The Ancient Celestial Dragon thought there shouldn’t be anything major, so he relaxed.

"It’s like this, during the battle just now, I learned from the enemy leader’s mouth that Senior Brother Wu Guangzu is being hunted by the Central Plains Martial Arts. Previously, I saw him at the Assassin Group, and he seemed to have fallen into Demonic Possession. I must go back to bring him to a safe place," Chen Tianlong said.

"No, you can’t go back. The Capital City is very dangerous now; they’re certainly locking down the entire city to capture you." The Ancient Celestial Dragon strongly disagreed when he heard that Chen Tianlong intended to go to the Capital City.

Suddenly, with a "thud," Chen Tianlong knelt on the ground, clasped his fists, and implored, "Please, Leader Gu, allow it. Senior Brother Wu was my closest brother when I was in the Assassin Group. We were like siblings, and if anything happens to him, I will feel guilty for life. Please, Ancient Celestial Dragon, allow me to go back and rescue him."

After speaking, Chen Tianlong kowtowed hard to the ground, and in an instant, he had made a small dent on the floor, accompanied by traces of blood.

Wu Mengting, seeing this, felt a pang of heartbreak and hurried over, dropping to her knees with a thud as well, saying, "I also beg you, considering their deep brotherhood, let him go."

In no time, Tan Batian, Gu Yuxin, Ru Nian, and several Grand Generals also knelt down one after another.

Seeing the ground full of people pleading for Chen Tianlong, the Ancient Celestial Dragon, no matter how steely-hearted, had to be moved. So he said a bit helplessly, "Ah, alright, you kid truly win hearts. This old man can’t argue with you; you may go."

Chen Tianlong immediately rejoiced upon hearing it, knowing that the Ancient Celestial Dragon had agreed. However, he still said apologetically, "I’m sorry, Leader Gu, I broke my promise, but I assure you, once this matter is resolved, I will return immediately to the camp to fight alongside my brothers."

"Haha, good brother, we’ll be waiting for your return."

Everyone said in unison.

"Alright, thank you all, I will return."

With that, Chen Tianlong left the tent, naturally with Wu Mengting following along.

Gu Yuxin had originally wanted to go too, but realizing his own lack of strength, and this time the Capital City was already under total lockdown, he decided it would be less worrisome without one more person, so he chose not to go.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Chen Tianlong and Mengting took the giant eagle flying towards the Capital City smoothly, a flight many envied.

It’s not surprising, as in the Mortal Realm, there are very few who can control such Spirit Beasts.

After two hours of flight, Chen Tianlong flew directly into the Capital City from the sky, saving the need for checkpoint inspections at the city gates.

However, their arrival had long been observed by city gate sentries, who hastened to report the matter to Kuang Chenggong within the Kuang Shengtian Celestial Palace.

Upon receiving the news, Kuang Chenggong’s lips curled slightly, a plan forming in his mind.

That day, Shengtian also returned to the Capital City. In the evening, Hao Shuai and Shengtian were summoned into the Kuang Shengtian Palace, where Kuang Chenggong awaited their arrival in the main hall.

"Haha, Yun Fei, Shengtian, you two have done well. This king will reward you greatly."

Kuang Chenggong was evidently very satisfied with this plan, having subdued Wu Guangzu on one hand and lured Chen Tianlong into the Capital City on the other. Now, all preparations were complete, awaiting the final impetus.

In fact, the Capital City is an enormous urban area, featuring all kinds of scenic landscapes. Just five miles from the Kuang Shengtian Palace, there’s a peak with steep cliffs, a rare serene place.

It’s said there are many legends here. Rumor has it that Wu Wuji of the Sword Sect broke his sword here years ago, leading to his retirement from worldly affairs. However, after many years, Wu Wuji has vanished from the world, as if he disappeared altogether.

This peak was thus named Heart-breaking Cliff.

The mountain isn’t very high, less than a thousand meters, but the foot of the mountain opens to an abyss as deep as ten thousand feet.

Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting landed in a concealed area within the Capital City, then changed into another outfit before appearing on the streets. They planned to gather information about Wu Guangzu before taking action.

Previously, on the battlefield, Chen Tianlong heard Shengtian mention that Senior Brother Wu was hunted by colleagues in the Martial Arts, but upon reflection, he found it implausible. After all, he was their Quasi-Alliance Leader, and Wu Guangzu was his senior brother. How could they fight amongst themselves? Wouldn’t it be like a flood washing over the Dragon King’s Temple?

However, anything is possible. Perhaps the colleagues in the Martial Arts were bewitched by someone, who knows.

Thus, Chen Tianlong thought it would be better to understand the situation first. Having left in a hurry, they hadn’t eaten anything after the morning battle, so they suddenly felt hungry once they relaxed.
