Villain: He intercepted the heroine at the beginning, and the protagonists collapsed

398: Wu Wenlong was injuredThis time, it was truly a fight to the death.

Chen Tianming also pulled out a long sword, standing back-to-back with Wu Wenlong, then cautiously advanced.

This place was too eerie; not only were there corpses of demonic beasts and creatures, but also a strong stench of decay permeated the air, forcing them to be on guard.

Suddenly, they discovered a person standing behind an ancient tree ahead.

”Who’s there?”

Wu Wenlong shouted.

”Hehehe, you guys are quite vigilant, not bad at all.”

One of the men said coldly.

”Who are you?!”

”You’ve come to my territory and still don’t know who I am? Is there such a thing in the world?!”

The Black-Clothed Man in a black robe snorted, his gaze sweeping across everyone’s faces.

”Ah.”

Wu Wenlong’s face turned pale, and then he felt an increasing pain in his body, as if something was corroding him; in a short while, his feet had already rotted away.

”Ah! Help, help me!” Wu Wenlong shrieked.

The others ignored Wu Wenlong’s cries for help, instead vigilantly staring at the Black-Clothed Man; they hadn’t even clearly seen any movement from him.

It was said that Zhou Xun showed a hint of unbearable pity for Wu Wenlong and tossed a pill in front of him.

”Swallow it quickly. I’ve already helped you suppress the corpse poison, but this poison has corrosive effects. I estimate you won’t last much longer.” Zhou Xun gently shook his head.

”Then am I saved?”

Wu Wenlong looked at Zhou Xun excitedly, his eyes full of hope.

”I can’t guarantee a full recovery, but at least you won’t die.”

After hearing Zhou Xun’s words, Wu Wenlong immediately opened his mouth and took the pill Zhou Xun had thrown over. Then, the piercing pain gradually lessened, and finally, he felt his body filled with strength.

”I... I feel much better.”

He looked at his hands, speaking excitedly.

”Then I can rest assured.”

Zhou Xun nodded, ”Get some good rest.”

”What good rest can I get? Instead, it’s you all. How are we supposed to escape?”

Wu Wenlong pressed, but no one could answer him.

Everyone stared at the Black-Clothed Man, their vigilance extremely high, as no one had yet figured out how Wu Wenlong’s injuries had been inflicted.

And when had the opponent made his move?!

”Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.”

The Black-Clothed Man smiled sinisterly, then extended a hand and grabbed towards Wu Wenlong on the ground.

Seeing this, Wu Wenlong hurriedly shouted, ”Let’s not fight! We can talk this over!”

Unfortunately, the Black-Clothed Man ignored him.

”Wait a moment, don’t be impulsive.”

Zhou Xun quickly shouted.

The Black-Clothed Man stopped his movements, looked at Zhou Xun, and said coldly, ”Only now do you think of begging for mercy? It’s too late.”

The Black-Clothed Man’s tone became even more mocking: ”With your meager abilities, you still dare to challenge here. I truly don’t know whether to call you overestimating yourselves or to say you...”

”Shut up!”

Wu Wenlong sternly interrupted him, then his gaze fell upon Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun frowned slightly, but his gaze never left Wu Wenlong’s body.

Those wounds...

He feared they would land on him!

”Who... exactly are you?”

Wu Wenlong gritted his teeth; he had never endured such humiliation, which filled his heart with rage.

”Hehehe.”

The Black-Clothed Man laughed, ”Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is that you’ll soon become my slave!”

The Black-Clothed Man attacked Chen Tianming, knowing that Chen Tianming was the backbone of these people present.

Therefore, Chen Tianming must die!

”Boom.”

A palm strike was unleashed, heading straight for Chen Tianming’s chest.

Chen Tianming remained calm and immediately swung his right palm to meet the enemy.

”Clap.”

The two palm strikes collided, emitting a loud bang, followed by a powerful surge of air that swept through, sending nearby broken stones flying.

”Boom.”

After another confrontation, both retreated three steps.

At this moment, Wu Wenlong and Zhou Xun both widened their eyes in shock.

Chen Tianming actually didn’t lose!

How could this be possible?

At this instant, many thoughts surfaced in Wu Wenlong’s mind.

Perhaps Chen Tianming had been hiding his strength from them all along, which was the most terrifying thing.

Thinking of this, Wu Wenlong couldn’t help but secretly worry.

If Chen Tianming was hiding his strength, their situation would be very dangerous.

This possibility was very high.

”Kill!”

The Black-Clothed Man stopped his idle talk and continued to charge towards Chen Tianming.

His martial arts were not weak, and his movement technique was strange.

Chen Tianming dared not be careless and could only engage in battle with the opponent.

It must be said that the opponent’s strength was good; Chen Tianming dared not be careless in each response and could only use his full strength to deal with him.

The Black-Clothed Man was also very satisfied with Chen Tianming, wiping the blood that had overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

”You’re not bad!”

Facing the Black-Clothed Man’s praise, Chen Tianming also appeared extremely generous, speaking with a chuckle.

”You’re also very powerful.”

At this moment, the two were like opponents who appreciated each other.

However, in the eyes of Yue Xiaojie and the others, they were extremely impatient.

Yue Xiaojie, however, did not speak to dissuade them, but instead fixed her gaze on Uncle Zhang.

”Uncle Zhang, what do you think of Chen Tianming’s strength?”

”This person’s strength is very strong, and furthermore, this old man feels that the opponent is still hiding his strength, making him very difficult to deal with.”

Listening to Uncle Zhang’s words, Yue Xiaojie’s eyes deepened, knowing that the current situation was not so easy to handle.

She truly didn’t know what kind of luck Wu Wenlong had to encounter someone with such ability, making her quite jealous.

Even if Zhou Xun and Chen Tianming did not explicitly abandon Wu Wenlong, Yue Xiaojie believed that between her and Wu Wenlong, the two would definitely choose Wu Wenlong.

Human emotions were just like that; they would always favor their own side.

”Yue Xiaojie, what are you chattering about over there?!”

The injured Wu Wenlong stood there staring at everyone present. He knew that Zhou Xun wouldn’t let him die now, and Chen Tianming choosing to fight was also trustworthy. Only Yue Xiaojie wanted his life.

”I’m naturally thinking about how we can solve this problem. After all, given your current situation, Wu Wenlong, why would we want a burden like you?”

”...”

Hearing this, Wu Wenlong choked up, staring intently at Yue Xiaojie, unable to imagine that she would say such words.

Yue Xiaojie stared at the opponent with a cold sneer, provocatively saying, ”Wu Wenlong, don’t think you’re indispensable. I have plenty of ways to make them abandon you!”

Yue Xiaojie spoke with confidence, but she kept an eye on the battle ahead.

All their actions could not escape her eyes.
