Chapter 689: No Escape Even with Wings
"How is this possible? We are both in the Bao Dan Realm, how can there be such a huge gap?"
Tang Xuanlong shook his numb arm, his face full of unwillingness.
"Tang Xuanlong, realm is not the only standard to measure combat strength. Tell me, how many life-and-death battles have you faced in your life, and how many times have you dealt with opponents several times stronger than you? Even if you have considerable cultivation, if you're not up to par, then you're just not!"
Qin Yu shook his head, he truly did not regard an opponent like Tang Xuanlong, who took shortcuts to improve his cultivation, seriously.
"Qin Yu, what are you so arrogant about, let's go again!"
Tang Xuanlong was overcome with shame and annoyance, feeling as though someone he had once looked down upon had, through sheer luck, gotten rich and flaunted his wealth every day by driving luxury cars in front of him.
This feeling of humiliation was worse than having someone defecate on your face.
"Come, use all your ultimate moves!"
Qin Yu had never had a good impression of Tang Xuanlong; from the moment he first appeared beside Yan Mingyu, he had been constantly trying to undermine him.
"Hmph, I've also been a special forces soldier for over a decade; my real combat experience is no less than yours!"
Tang Xuanlong clenched his fist and charged at Qin Yu again, rapidly twisting his waist into a powerful Exploding Liver Fist.
Slap...
Bang!
Qin Yu slapped the inside of Tang Xuanlong's wrist, immediately followed by a punch aimed at his temple.
He wasn't too bad, such good free sparring practice was hard to come by.
To break through to the Channel-Opening Realm, aside from accumulating enough True Qi, he needed to sharpen his skills through real combat.
So he didn't start with his Seven Injuries Fist or Asura Finger; instead, he used only the most basic techniques of fist and foot to spar with Tang Xuanlong.
Looking over at Ou Changfeng,
Although he was only in the late stage of the Pill Holding Realm, his Mystifying Fist was truly outstanding.
The barrage of punches, ambiguous between real and feigned, solid and void, somehow managed to fight Ximen Qing to a standstill.
"Kid, are you also from a major sect?"
Seeing the young age of Ou Changfeng, but his exquisite martial skills, Ximen Qing couldn't help but ask with some suspicion.
"Indeed, you dare to harm my cousin, today I will cripple you!"
Ou Changfeng fought more and more bravely. He might lack experience in Jianghu and worldly affairs, but his skills were nevertheless remarkable.
His figure flashed, and a punch reached Ximen Qing's face in an instant.
"Your combat strength is indeed not bad, but Pill Holding is Pill Holding, you will never understand what being in the Channel-Opening Realm means."
Ximen Qing said proudly, his body slanted dodging Ou Changfeng's punch while simultaneously kicking towards his groin.
Bang.....
Ou Changfeng ultimately suffered from his lack of Jianghu experience; he hadn't expected Ximen Qing to be so shameless. While outwardly sparring, drawing his attention, he sneakily delivered a vicious blow, kicking him right there.
Even the strongest man is fragile there.
Suddenly, it felt like his eyes were about to bulge out. Clutching his legs together, he trembled with pain, "You... you are so despicable!"
"We are not friends, why should I be courteous to you?"
Ximen Qing taunted.
"Damn it..."
Ou Changfeng was at a loss for words, taking in gasps of cold air, and as Ximen Qing pressed on, he could only retreat with his legs clamped together.
Being injured there was truly painful, all right?
"Looks like you've just come down from the mountain, still a greenhorn, huh? Then today, I will teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Ximen Qing's face showed a trace of disdain as he stepped on the iron chains and quickly approached Ou Changfeng.
Slap...
Another slap flew his way.
Ou Changfeng could only reluctantly raise his arms to block.
Bang....
However, once Ximen Qing realized Ou Changfeng was a newbie, why wouldn't he continue to play dirty?
Another kick landed on Ou Changfeng's stomach, sending him tumbling out.
If it weren't for his tight grip on the iron chains, he would have fallen into the icy lake below.
"By the way, judging by your accent, you're from The North, right? How good are you at swimming?"
Ximen Qing revealed a sinister expression.
"You're shameless, give me a moment to recover, then we'll continue fighting!"
Ou Changfeng had always stayed in his secluded martial arts sect and truly did not know how to swim.
"Oh, looks like you can't swim, huh?"
Ximen Qing lifted his foot and stomped on the fingers that Ou Changfeng was using to grip the chain.
"Dammit..."
Ou Changfeng cursed, his body swaying as he hastily changed his grip to another part of the chain.
Tap tap...
Ximen Qing was in no hurry, teasing Ou Changfeng like a cat playing with a mouse, calmly stepping back and forth on the chain.
I'm screwed...
Desperately like an acrobat, Ou Changfeng hung mid-air, switching his hands along the chain.
"Sigh..."
Qin Yu glanced at the struggling Ou Changfeng with the corner of his eye, thinking that while his fighting skills were decent, his lack of experience in the Jianghu was his downfall, not realizing that people's hearts can be treacherous.
Blissful Hall had a notorious reputation in the Jianghu; how could they fight him fairly? They were bound to resort to dirty tricks.
Now, taking on Tang Xuanlong was no problem for himself, but it was difficult to save someone from under the watchful eye of a Channel-Opening Realm expert; he hoped Ou could hold on a little longer.
Swish swish...
On Han Qingying's end, her hatred for Tang Xuanlong ran deep; back at the suburban house, he tried to force that thing into her mouth, only for her anger to almost bite it off.
That's why Qin Yu had teased about the hamster and the banana.
Naturally, meeting her nemesis made her even more incensed. She mustered up 120 percent of her fighting power, the Soft Sword in her hand like a dragon startling a phoenix, unleashing piercingly cold sword auras, targeting the opponent's vitals with every move.
"Slash..."
Tang Xuanlong was caught off guard, and a wound appeared on his arm, his expression turning sinister: "Ximen Qing, stop playing around, Plan B!"
"Alright then!"
Ximen Qing turned around and struck towards Han Qingying's back.
"You're so shameless!"
Being attacked by two masters from both sides, Han Qingying was shocked and furious, and she had to retract her Soft Sword to stab at Ximen Qing.
"Hmm, wait until you fall into our hands, then we'll see how you like being hit from both sides!"
Ximen Qing said with a sinister laugh.
"Han Qingying, go take a nice bath first!"
Tang Xuanlong took the opportunity to strike Han Qingying's waist with a palm. Afterwards, he turned to lunge at Qin Yu.
With his cultivation level, dealing with Qin Yu was all too easy.
Holy shit...
Qin Yu heard the sound of the wind from behind, his heart sinking, and without thinking, he jumped off the chain.
Ou Changfeng couldn't swim, but he could.
Though falling into the water was embarrassing, it was better than being killed with a slap by the enemy.
"Hahaha..."
Tang Xuanlong revealed a triumphant smile, his figure flickered, and he landed ashore, simultaneously picking up a remote control and pressing it.
Click, whoosh...
Fixed to a winch, the other end of the chain, like a ship's anchor chain sinking into the water, began to slide into the lake continuously as the winch loosened.
"Stay in the water a bit longer; there's a surprise waiting for you!"
Ximen Qing saw that Tang Xuanlong mentioned Plan B and knew he was going to release the chains. He pushed off with his feet and also landed ashore.
Tang Xuanlong, already closest to the shore, managed to return to the bank before the chain sank below the surface.
"I can't swim!"
Ou Changfeng struggled in the water for a few moments before starting to cry for help.
"Whether you can swim or not doesn't matter much at this point."
Tang Xuanlong, looking somewhat pleased with himself, pressed another button, and the water began to churn.
A big net sprung from the depths, capturing Qin Yu, Han Qingying, and Ou Changfeng in an instant.
"You won't escape now!"
"Hahaha..."
Tang Xuanlong and Ximen Qing both laughed excitedly!
