154: Chapter 154 Blood Fiend

Mr. Rong's identity is highly classified, known only to a few within the entire Dongyu territory.

But now, someone had called it out directly.

As a spy, being exposed to one's face—how is that any different from having your pants pulled down in the middle of the street?

"Are you surprised? Actually, when you were spouting nonsense at the Hot-Blooded Arena last night, I was only a dozen meters away from you."

"If you want to plot to kill someone under the protection of The Sect and create chaos in Song City, you shouldn't say it out so grandiosely, right?"

"Doesn't the Yuanwu Kingdom have anyone more professional?"

Tang Long's tone was exceptionally regretful, and even Wei Jian cast a meaningful look at him.

The words 'unprofessional' were a massive insult to Mr. Rong; he could hardly maintain his composure.

"Fei Shan actually dared to betray me. His son is still in my hands. He..."

Tang Long let out a strange laugh and shook his head. "Don't push the responsibility onto others. It's only normal for a fence-sitter like him to be monitored."

"You actually showed up in person to meet with someone like that, and you're still looking for excuses. Among the foreign colleagues I've dealt with, someone as sloppy as you is truly rare."

"We didn't want to bother with such trivial matters for the time being. But you absolutely shouldn't have targeted High Priest Shang Yuleng."

"So... this Mr. Wei Jian here is inevitably dragged down by you."

"The Wei Family is very influential in Song City; this matter is going to be quite troublesome."

At this point, he sighed deeply, as if he truly was annoyed.

Mad Dog and Golden Scorpion were also stunned. Why... why did it sound so real?

As for Wei Jian and Mr. Rong, they were now filled with even more fear and alarm.

Mr. Rong had always been unfathomable, with everything under his control, but now he was being described as a fool—even he was starting to believe it.

If he were captured, not only would this operation be a total failure, but the entire Yuanwu intelligence system stationed in Dongyu would also suffer a devastating blow!

And of course, there was the Wei Family.

He must not let the Wei Family be implicated!

The only way now was to make sure this guy who appeared out of nowhere never went back!

Wei Jian was still thinking, but Mr. Rong had already taken action.

"He's bluffing! Capture them all alive and throw them into the heavenly change!"

Tang Long chuckled and didn't deny it.

There was some bluffing, but it was mainly to stall for time. After all, Golden Scorpion and Mad Dog only had a sliver of health left just now.

Having stalled for over a minute, Mad Dog's health bar was too long and hadn't recovered well, but Golden Scorpion was basically back to full health.

Mr. Rong and Wei Jian were charging forward, but Tang Long retreated without hesitation since he had become their primary target. Moreover, he had already used up his Invincibility while tanking those two hits of Battle Qi earlier, and it had a thirty-minute cooldown.

Both of these men were at the Blood Refining Upper Realm, much stronger than the Blood Refining Lower Realm he had just finished off.

It wasn't that he lacked strength, but there was no need to fight recklessly.

Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry to heal Golden Scorpion and Mad Dog?

Thus, the situation quickly turned into Mr. Rong and Wei Jian frantically pursuing Tang Long, while Mad Dog and Golden Scorpion desperately tried to intercept and kill them.

Wei Jian and the other man pursued quickly and soon realized that Tang Long's strength was only average.

But at every critical moment, Tang Long's explosive speed was even faster. He ran circles around Mad Dog and Golden Scorpion, and the two pursuers just couldn't catch him.

After much effort, they barely caught up, only to be even more shocked to find that Tang Long was even more resilient than Mad Dog and Golden Scorpion.

Even their best combined attack only made Tang Long spit out a mouthful of blood, after which he continued to be as lively as ever.

The reason they targeted Tang Long first was partly because he had drawn the aggro, but the durability of Mad Dog and Golden Scorpion was also a significant factor.

After all, these two had previously tanked several waves of attacks from four Blood Refining experts.

By this point, the two realized that Tang Long wasn't even human!

A Heavy Strike that could easily knock down Mad Dog or Golden Scorpion was like an itch to him. The powerful Battle Qi attacks they unleashed, which could easily shatter hard boulders, only made Tang Long stagger slightly.

The two finally changed their minds and wanted to turn back to cripple Golden Scorpion and Mad Dog.

Tang Long didn't step forward to help much; he just raised his hand from time to time to wave a beam of green light over.

Even if Mad Dog and Golden Scorpion were knocked down or had their limbs broken, a few flashes of green light on their bodies always allowed them to recover quickly.

After fighting for a long time, the two finally sensed that something was wrong.

Although they still had the upper hand for now, their stamina had dropped significantly, and they felt clearly fatigued.

The key was that if they kept fighting like this, they felt they wouldn't be able to take down these three even if they worked themselves to death.

Mr. Rong said in a low voice, "Brother Wei, it looks like we're in trouble today. If we're going to retreat, it's best to do it early. What do you say?"

Wei Jian gave him a fierce glare. "I'm activating Blood Fiend!"

Mr. Rong sighed. "Alright, then I'll go crazy with you one more time. Regardless of success or failure, just five minutes."

It was obvious that Mr. Rong wanted to retreat, but Wei Jian was unwilling to just leave like this.

It wasn't hard for him to run now, but the Wei Family couldn't run. So he had to try and see if he could kill all three people in front of him before considering other remedial measures.

At the mention of the words 'Blood Fiend', Mad Dog, Golden Scorpion, and even Tang Long were visibly moved.

Blood Fiend is a forbidden technique that Blue Star martial artists could use to unleash extraordinary combat power when they reached the end of Blood Refining, even allowing them to temporarily rival Open Origin.

Every Blood Refining Peak expert knew it, but not everyone dared to use it.

Because once Blood Fiend was activated, it would continuously burn the spiritual energy in the blood, and the burning would only get faster.

Even if one gained immense power for a short time, it would severely damage their body and cultivation. If not handled well, it might even be impossible to stop, and the end result would be killing oneself.

Tonight was Christmas Eve, and the Red God protected his believers, but Gods Blessing was still not omnipotent.

Golden Scorpion's case was right there—he had returned from the dead but was heavily injured.

Mr. Rong was a Yuanwu person and believed in the Yuanwu God; he certainly wouldn't dare to play like this.

Wei Jian, however, was a believer of the Red God and wouldn't die tonight.

But after using Blood Fiend, who knew what kind of price would have to be paid. Perhaps a drop in realm, or maybe... becoming a cripple.

A layer of red airwaves suddenly erupted from Wei Jian's body, blazing like fire.

Mad Dog gasped, stepping forward while waving his hand at Tang Long and Golden Scorpion.

"You guys get back, I'll handle this!"

At that moment, a large hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.

"Brother Dog, let me do it."

Mad Dog turned around and looked at Tang Long, who had walked in front of him. His gaze was a bit confused, yet also somewhat relieved.

"Are you... sure?"

Tang Long nodded deeply. "Don't worry. I was just playing with them earlier. It's time to let you all see my true abilities."

Mad Dog knew that Tang Long indeed hadn't gone all out.

Although that bizarre recovery method was already shocking enough, he at least hadn't used Spirit Blast yet.

If he was worried, it was only that Tang Long didn't have the protection of Gods Blessing and might die.

There was no time for nonsense. With a loud bang under Wei Jian's feet, the shockwave shook the ground, and he disappeared from where he stood.

At this moment, Wei Jian was as fast as an afterimage. Even Tang Long's vision couldn't keep up, and he could only barely sense him through mental power.

Sensing the approaching wind, he rapidly raised his arms to meet Wei Jian's overhead strike.

However, this strike instantly shattered his shirt, and his calves sank half a foot into the soil.

Seeing the golden Gang Mark appearing on his body and this mountain-like strength, Wei Jian once again revealed a look of shock, and then his gaze suddenly became even more cold and fierce.

He turned into a series of afterimages again, as red-glowing Spirit Blades streaked out one after another, frantically slashing across Tang Long's body.

Tang Long was hit repeatedly and swayed; his legs had sunk to his knees, and he plowed two deep grooves over a dozen steps long into the ground. Blood was splattered everywhere as the Spirit Blades tore into him.

Mad Dog and Golden Scorpion watched with eyes nearly splitting, but they were completely unable to help.

It was simply too fast and too ruthless.

Just the dissipating aftershocks sent them reeling back, unable to get close at all.

Even Mr. Rong let out a long sigh of relief. "To be able to train Blood Fiend to such a level, Brother Wei, you are indeed remarkable. Cut his legs!"

Wei Jian's movements coincided with his words. Suddenly, a fierce slash swung downward once more.

But at that moment, with a 'snap', Wei Jian's right hand was unexpectedly grabbed by Tang Long.

Tang Long grinned, revealing a row of blood-stained white teeth.

"Got you."
