Chapter 1358: Chapter 1357: Meeting Protector Li Again
The scholar shook his head, sighed, and continued, "I would never believe the Ancient National Defense General went to the leader’s villa complex for female companionship. Everyone in the army knows the General as an upright and recognized loyal minister; such actions must be the result of a treacherous plot."
Chen Tianlong nodded in agreement, aware that something was amiss but still feigned indifference as he said, "Ha, matters like these are judged by principles, not by us."
With that, he turned around to continue eating, but Chen Tianlong was visibly frustrated by the audacity of the Wolfman Race headquarters personnel, guessing it was related to Xu Fei.
"Chen Tianlong, is something bothering you?"
Wu Mengting noticed Chen Tianlong’s troubled demeanor and asked with concern.
"It’s nothing, just thinking about a few things that’s a bit frustrating." Chen Tianlong didn’t want Wu Mengting to worry, so he gave a perfunctory reply.
"Okay, as long as it’s nothing." Wu Mengting saw that Chen Tianlong didn’t want to talk further, so she stopped asking.
While they were eating, a string of curses suddenly erupted nearby.
"Damn it, what’s taking so long to bring our food?" shouted the leading man in black.
"I’m sorry, sir. Everything comes in order." The boss hurriedly explained.
"I don’t care, do I need to wait in order just to eat? Hurry up, or I’ll smash your shop!" The leading man in black continued his arrogant tirade.
"Captain, this is Capital City, under the government’s watch. You can’t act lawlessly here." The boss was intimidated but refused to believe someone would act out under the government’s nose.
"The law? I am the law! Do you know who my boss is? King Wu. Have you heard of King Wu?" The leading black figure finally revealed his backing.
Chen Tianlong, originally not wanting trouble, couldn’t sit still when he heard it was from the Wolfman Race. With one step, he tripped the man in black, sending him crashing to the ground.
"Ah! Who tripped me?" The sudden incident made the black figure leader extremely angry as he shouted.
"Bro, it was that guy."
The other men in black saw Chen Tianlong’s action and pointed towards Chen Tianlong’s location.
"Kid, was that you?"
The leader glared harshly at Chen Tianlong.
"So what if it was?"
Chen Tianlong answered coldly, expressionless.
"Wow, are you looking to die?"
With a wave, the nearby men drew swords.
The surrounding people fled in fear, but Wu Mengting stood at the side, watching Chen Tianlong.
"Attack! Kill this kid!"
The leader commanded, and the men charged forward.
Chen Tianlong blocked with his sword, then performed a leg sweep, knocking the men in black to the ground.
The leader lunged with his blade, but just as he reached Chen Tianlong, Chen Tianlong flashed into position and grabbed his throat.
The sword clattered to the floor as the leader realized he was dealing with someone formidable.
"Listen, I spare your life, go tell Xu Fei that I, Chen Tianlong, am coming for revenge." Chen Tianlong glared at him, hatred brimming as if before Xu Fei himself.
Chen Tianlong released the man in black, who left hurriedly with his subordinates.
"Chen Tianlong, are you alright?"
Wu Mengting, noticing Chen Tianlong seemed off, asked with concern.
Having been clouded by hatred but now calm, Chen Tianlong reassured Wu Mengting, "Mengting, I’m fine."
"Alright."
Wu Mengting smiled in acknowledgment.
After finishing their meal, they continued on their way, only to be surrounded by a large group of men in black, led by a familiar face.
Chen Tianlong focused; it was Protector Li, whom he’d met twice at Pengling Ancient Town.
"Chen Tianlong, our king has been looking for you. Didn’t expect you’d come willingly. Hahaha." Protector Li, verifying it was Chen Tianlong, laughed.
"You devil, for what you did at Pengling, killing so many innocents, today I’ll avenge them by ending you." Chen Tianlong declared, drawing the Dragon Slayer Sword and lunging swiftly.
Although Protector Li was a great strategist, his martial skills were mediocre, so when Chen Tianlong’s sword approached, he cautiously retreated.
His guards arrived promptly, while Wu Mengting also joined the fray, drawing her sword.
In no time, Chen Tianlong was surrounded by over twenty black-robed samurai; clearly, Protector Li was prepared.
"How will you kill me?" Protector Li sneered.
Without a word, Chen Tianlong slashed horizontally; about ten men surrounded him, their blades aimed. Chen Tianlong leaped into the air, spinning around, his sword qi erupting within the crowd, knocking many over.
Upon landing, Chen Tianlong noticed Wu Mengting besieged by black-robed men, so he immediately leaped over, swung his sword forward, causing them to retreat several steps.
"Mengting, you should leave; it’s too dangerous here."
Chen Tianlong, worried for her safety, feared losing focus during the battle.
The Wolfman Race warriors were all experts in the Celestial Dao Seven Star; though Wu Mengting might be as strong, her combat experience was lacking.
Moreover, Wu Mengting carried Demonic Qi; Master Void repeatedly warned against her fighting, which could trigger an uncontrollable awakening.
"Chen Tianlong, I won’t leave you. I want to fight alongside you."
Wu Mengting resolutely responded, gazing into Chen Tianlong’s eyes.
The black-robed men attacked again, leaving Chen Tianlong multitasking. "Mengting, if things worsen, you must escape immediately and find your father at Good Sword Manor."
Wu Mengting nodded, continuing the fight.
Chen Tianlong soared upwards and initiated his Sword Control Skill, causing swords on the ground to dart rapidly, creating chaos. Finished, he grasped the Dragon Slayer Sword firmly and charged downward.
The sword impaled the earth, triggering a shockwave, sending nearby black figures sprawling, swords clattering.
Without pause, Chen Tianlong seized the chance to advance quickly and thrust at Protector Li. Suddenly, Protector Li launched a flurry of throwing stars, his specialty.
Chen Tianlong dodged swiftly, landing with a back-step, knee to the ground, left hand on the floor, right hand raising his sword upward. Protector Li continued hurling stars, forcing Chen Tianlong into continuous backflips before regaining his stance.
Realizing Protector Li was out of stars, Chen Tianlong dashed forward.
Suddenly, a large net fell from the sky. Chen Tianlong sensed danger and attempted to slice it, but noticed only sparks flying with no sign of damage.
"Haha! You think I’d use a regular net to catch you? The Dragon Slayer Sword is indestructible; I’m not that foolish." Protector Li laughed, seeing Chen Tianlong trapped.
