"You... I’ll go down with you if necessary!"
For the first time, Gu Yan was threatened . He thought the young man was right. As the third leader of the Celestial Wolf Gang, he indeed held a significant position. Not only could he exert influence within the gang, but he also enjoyed endless riches and honor.
If he were to be killed , it really wouldn’t be worth it.
"I’ll give you five seconds to decide: put down the gun or die!" Cold Face, having heard Chen Tianlong’s words, roughly understood his intent and quickly said.
Gu Yan was stunned. Such a choice was something he had never faced before, and time was so damn short. Originally a bit cowardly when it came to his own life, in this decision, he chose to put down the handgun.
The moment the gun hit the ground, Chen Tianlong made his move.
With a chop of his hand, he struck Gu Yan on the neck, then dashed towards Gu Mei, grabbed her hand, and started to head out.
"Wei Li, rescue complete, retreat quickly!"
After completing the mission, Chen Tianlong urgently said into the phone.
Upon hearing that the mission was completed, Wei Li quickly retreated. The four of them soon gathered on the first floor of the building, preparing to withdraw.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, eight individuals rushed out from all directions. None of them wielded any weapons, indicating they were notably powerful.
"Gentlemen, if you want to take someone away from our Celestial Wolf Eight Heroes, you’d better ask if our fists agree first." The speaker was a man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, tall and burly, full of spirit, but with a slightly crooked nose.
He was Ye Xiong, ranked third in combat power within the Celestial Wolf Gang.
Wei Li frowned. From their demeanor, he sensed something was off about these people.
"Chen Tianlong, these are ancient martial cultivators. Be cautious later, just focus on escaping with the hostage. We’ll handle the rest," Wei Li quickly said.
At that moment, he could already feel a powerful qi wave. These were the auras that their fellow ancient martial cultivators could sense.
Among the eight ancient martial cultivators, none were highly advanced, except for this big man, whose strength was just below Wei Li’s.
"Bao, Zhang Xiao, you two handle the other seven. I’ll take on their leader," Wei Li turned his head and instructed.
"Yes, Captain." Both immediately nodded in agreement.
But Chen Tianlong was not willing to leave. Even though they were ancient martial cultivators, he couldn’t just stand by. If, after rescuing Gu Mei, his comrades met misfortune, that would be a big problem.
How would he explain this to Manor Master Sima Dong?
Setting Gu Mei aside, Chen Tianlong picked up a few pieces of gravel from the ground, then stood to the side, remaining highly alert.
These ancient martial cultivators fought ferociously, and in just a flash, both sides were engaged in a chaotic battle. This time the enemy was strong and they were weak, eight against three, clearly putting Chen Tianlong’s side at a disadvantage.
However, that was just on the surface. Although they were all ancient martial cultivators, there were also hierarchical differences among them.
The seven ancient martial cultivators initiated an attack on Zhang Xiao and Bao. Seemingly pressured, Bao and Zhang Xiao, after a brief moment, stood their ground, suddenly emanating an aura that was stifling.
The two quickly leaped up and delivered a lightning-fast kick.
A series of muffled thuds resounded. Three or four people fell one after another. Then, the two switched positions and simultaneously struck with a punch. Again, a muffled sound followed, sending two of the opposing ancient martial cultivators flying.
In just those short seconds, amidst flashes of fire and lightning, seven people had sustained injuries. Even though they could still barely resist, their strength had been halved.
They all looked at these two in astonishment, never expecting that the people coming to rescue were such powerful ancient martial cultivators, undoubtedly of a higher level than them.
Ye Xiong, witnessing the scene, furrowed his brow. Who exactly were these men to be so fierce? However, his own strength was not to be underestimated. Looking at Wei Li in front of him, he couldn’t tell the opponent’s strength.
But, those two guys from earlier were momentarily not his match.
To intimidate his opponent, Ye Xiong deliberately activated his heart method, revealing his full strength. For more chapters visit novelFɪre.net
Yet, Wei Li looked with an expressionless gaze, neither joyful nor sorrowful, leaving Ye Xiong feeling uncertain. If his opponent had shown a hint of panic, it would mean they sensed his power and felt inferior.
But now, this man’s psychological strength was evidently formidable, not giving away any signs of discomfort, which was a real headache for Ye Xiong.
"Let’s end this quickly."
After taking a deep breath, Ye Xiong felt the opponent was just stalling for time, searching for an escape opportunity, so he cut off his thoughts directly.
As they spoke, both rushed towards each other. As they neared, Wei Li suddenly let out a slight cold laugh, a laugh capable of instantly freezing someone, sending shivers down their spine.
Their fists collided, with no sound of cracking bones, but one of them stepped back four or five steps before finally steadying himself.
With that one strike, he could feel the opponent’s power, and it was clear the other showed mercy, probably not wanting to hold any grudges.
"Each serves their own master. Surely you’ve experienced my strength. I’m taking this person today, so if you wish to fight to the death, bring it on."
As Wei Li spoke, a force began to coalesce in his hand, and Bao and Zhang Xiao had returned by now, forming a sturdy wall together.
Chen Tianlong stood somewhat nervously behind them. Watching the battle earlier, they seemed simple, but it felt like each punch could gravely injure him.
Is this the difference between ordinary people and ancient martial cultivators?
"Big brother, let’s go in together!"
"Shut up! Let them go!"
Ye Xiong directly interrupted his subordinate. These three were definitely tough for the eight of them to handle.
Since the other two powerful members of the gang weren’t here, relying solely on a few of them, they couldn’t hold these people back. Continuing on would only result in losing their lives.
After Ye Xiong spoke, he directly turned around and walked forward.
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, and with this disturbance settled for the moment, they quickly retreated with Gu Mei away from the Celestial Wolf Gang. Not too far past the door, they saw four or five cars speeding towards them.
If his guess was correct, it was probably people brought by Tang Xiao, but they arrived too late; the people were already gone.
Chen Tianlong and his team had parked their vehicles in a small forest. Once these cars had passed by, they headed out quickly, speeding off to the airport.
This rescue from the Celestial Wolf Gang certainly forged a grudge with them.
