At the critical mont, Tong Zhentian didn’t have ti to think. He quickly retracted his palms, tapped his toes on the ground, and swiftly shifted to the left. He was fast, but his opponent was not slow either. With a ’swish’ sound, a blood-red wound appeared on Tong Zhentian’s arm, and blood started to flow down, dripping onto the ground.
Right now, Tong Zhentian didn’t care about the injury on his arm; his eyes were fixed on the black-clad assailant who had ambushed him.
Two black-clad n, two Heavenly List experts!
"You really hold in high regard." Tong Zhentian sneered weakly and said, "It seems... you want to leave my life here today."
"Attack!" With a light shout, two black-clad n attacked simultaneously from left and right, quickly closing in on Tong Zhentian.
Seeing them approaching, Tong Zhentian shouted fiercely, and his entire aura suddenly surged. His eyes turned blood-red, looking extrely fierce. Instead of retreating, Tong Zhentian advanced against the attacks of the two n, his gaze locked onto one of them.
If today is the day he dies, he would take one of them with him.
Seeing Tong Zhentian’s frantic rush toward his companion, the black-clad man who had just competed in Inner Strength with Tong Zhentian hesitated and then shouted in a low voice, "Retreat!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man stepped forward to block Tong Zhentian’s assault. Taking advantage of the mont, the other man sped up and quickly vanished into the nearby greenery.
After his companion escaped smoothly, the black-clad man did not continue to tangle with Tong Zhentian. With a single move, he forced him back and then leaped into the forest. By the ti Tong Zhentian gave chase, the two n had long since disappeared without a trace.
Biting his teeth, Tong Zhentian unwillingly searched for a while longer, but they had already fled far away. At this point, Tong Zhentian’s vision blurred, his body swaying as if he might fall at any mont. Fortunately, there was an alley nearby, and Tong Zhentian staggered to the street, supporting himself against the wall. Then, he took out his phone to call He Ziyun.
However, before the call connected, Tong Zhentian felt a sudden blackout and fell to the ground.
"Why didn’t you kill him?"
Inside a rcedes driving down the road sat the two black-clad n. It was the one in the passenger seat who asked.
"Kill him? Do you think it’s that easy?"
"He’s already injured. If we join forces, he can’t possibly be a match for us."
"You’re right; he’s indeed not our match, but the price would be steep for us too. You must rember, if he were so easily dealt with, he wouldn’t be Tong Zhentian, who is on par with . Earlier, if I hadn’t told you to leave, you might have been dead now. Sacrificing a Heavenly List expert’s life to kill him is too high a price. Besides, we’ve forced out his ultimate move. From what I know of him, once he unleashes that move, it’s as if he’s lost half his life. So, he won’t pose a threat to us for a few months, and we’ll have enough ti to slowly dismantle the Dragon Tiger Hall.
"Yes, I understand."
"You did a good job on that matter."
"Which matter?"
"Ling Chen. I know you killed him. I was hesitating whether to deal with him harshly. Forget it! He’s dead now anyway, not much point in ntioning him."
...
Xianghe Village.
A Land Rover SUV slowly drove to the village entrance. As the car stopped, soone jumped out and quickly walked toward a house.
"Chen! Chen!" Before even entering the door, the person was already shouting.
Ling Chen opened the door and smiled when he saw the visitor, "Didn’t I tell Xu Hongming to let you know that I’m fine? There’s no need to co all this way to see ."
Jiang Yunkai said excitedly, "I couldn’t trust his words. I had to see you in person." Saying that, Jiang Yunkai looked Ling Chen over carefully and asked with concern, "Chen, are you really alright? I brought so doctors from Beijing; do you want them to check you out?"
Ling Chen waved his hand and said, "There’s no need for that. With Miss Lin taking care of , it’s enough. Don’t just stand outside; co in and sit. I’ll introduce you to my saviors."
Inside, Ling Chen called Lin Han and Lin Chun out from the room and introduced them.
"Miss Lin, thank you!" Jiang Yunkai held Lin Han’s hand gratefully and said, "You saved Chen, which ans you saved all of us."
Lin Han was slightly embarrassed by Jiang Yunkai’s enthusiasm, her face slightly red, "I only did my duty as a doctor."
"Alright then!" Ling Chen said with a smile, "Kai, don’t just hold her hand; people might get the wrong idea that you’re taking advantage of her."
Hearing this, Jiang Yunkai quickly let go of his hands and laughed, "I got a bit too excited, Miss Lin, don’t take it the wrong way."
"It’s nothing. Ling Chen, you all sit; I’ll go cut so fruits." After speaking, Lin Han went to the kitchen with Lin Chun, leaving the living room to Ling Chen and Jiang Yunkai.
"Kai, everything’s been fine while I’ve been away?"
Jiang Yunkai nodded and said, "It’s been alright, nothing much happened. But we didn’t dare make your disappearance public. After all, your presence is significant; if people knew sothing happened to you, we’d be in big trouble."
"As long as there are no issues."
"Chen, your injury is no longer serious; aren’t you planning to go back? Everyone’s waiting for you, and there’s a lot you need to handle back there."
"No rush. I have so personal matters to attend to."
"Personal matters?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunkai’s eyes shifted, looking toward the kitchen with a teasing glance, "Chen, you’re not... "
"Get out of here." Ling Chen said irritably, "I’m not as dirty-minded as you think. She’s my savior; I have no such thoughts on her." Pausing, Ling Chen continued, "Don’t worry about it. I won’t be going back for a while yet. Just leave a satellite phone; you can reach if anything cos up."
"Okay." Jiang Yunkai nodded, about to reply when the ringtone from his pocket went off. He knew there was no signal in Xianghe Village, so he had prepared a satellite phone for communication before leaving.
When the call was connected, whatever was said on the other end made Jiang Yunkai’s face turn grim.
After hanging up, Ling Chen asked, "What’s happened?"
"Chen, sothing big has happened. Hu Fei just told that Elder Tong had an accident and was just saved from the hospital. Although his life is not in danger, Elder Tong’s condition is very serious."
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s expression changed, and he said solemnly, "How did this happen?"
