Chapter 1548 - 1853: Suicide by Poison (1)
About breaking through the Heavenly List, Ling Chen has temporarily kept it a secret. Now everyone thinks of him as an ordinary person who has lost his strength, not only his friends but also his enemies. Therefore, he must conceal his strength as much as possible and only strike unexpectedly to achieve the best effect.
The team for this operation is not large, with only ten people including Ling Chen. Besides him and Chen Junfeng, there are Zhu Qing and a few disciples from Dragon Tiger Hall.
The group drove two vans, and after spending more than twenty minutes on the road, they arrived at the hiding place of those three men. Hu Fei’s tracking indicated the three were hiding in a rented flat. Now, in front of Ling Chen is a five-story apartment building with ten rental units on each floor. According to the phone signal, their location is the northernmost room on the fifth floor.
Ling Chen observed the surroundings and pointed to an apartment directly opposite the building, instructing, "You guys go up there and take the advantageous position, the rest follow me to the fifth floor."
Among the Dragon Tiger Hall disciples brought along this time, some are members of the Divine Arrow Team. Trained by the Arrow God Zhang Zhongfeng, although their archery skills have not reached the peak, their accuracy is reliable.
Shortly, several members of the Divine Arrow Team took the high positions, while Ling Chen and others slowly moved toward the rented flat on the fifth floor.
Outside the flat, Chen Junfeng extended his hand, signaling Ling Chen not to get too close.
Once everyone was ready, Chen Junfeng gestured and then suddenly kicked the door open, rushing inside. At this moment, the people inside hadn’t reacted. When they realized someone had entered, Chen Junfeng was already at close range.
In the blink of an eye, the two young men at the front were knocked down by Chen Junfeng. The man inside the room was stunned for a second, but immediately reacted, his wrist flicked rapidly, and with the sound of ’whoosh whoosh,’ several silver needles shot towards Chen Junfeng.
At this moment, their distance was very close. Without thinking, Chen Junfeng swung the silver spear in his hand, instantly with the sound of ’clang clang,’ the spear shaft blocked all the silver needles.
Without waiting for the opponent to make another move, Chen Junfeng lightly tapped his toe, the silver spear swiftly attacked, stabbing towards the man’s upper body. As a Heavenly List expert, Chen Junfeng’s strength was undeniable. However, the man wasn’t weak either. Seeing the silver spear coming at him, he quickly turned aside and dodged Chen Junfeng’s attack.
Next, the man leaped up, breaking the flat’s window with a palm strike, and jumped out from inside. Being on the fifth floor and more than ten meters from the ground, as long as he controlled his body well, a Heavenly List expert would easily disperse the impact and avoid danger.
Seeing the man’s move, Ling Chen rushed to the window and looked down, seeing the man land steadily on the ground, swiftly running away. However, before the man could run far, arrows suddenly shot by overhead, blocking his path.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Junfeng leaped out of the window. Having finally found the opponent’s trail, they couldn’t let him escape.
"We’ll surround him from the back," Ling Chen said.
Zhu Qing nodded in agreement, quickly rushing to the bottom of the apartment building to block the opponent’s retreat and trap him in place.
Seeing the man entangled by Chen Junfeng, Ling Chen nodded to himself. As expected, the man’s strength has indeed reached the Heavenly List. Facing Chen Junfeng’s fierce assault, the opponent seemed unphased, resolving each move calmly.
Nevertheless, Chen Junfeng is a renowned Heavenly List expert. Failing several attacks in succession, he couldn’t help but roar furiously, swiftly closing in on the man and the silver spear instantly turned into countless shadows, enveloping the man’s body.
Facing Chen Junfeng’s frenzy, the man dared not resist directly, hurriedly retreating to escape the silver spear’s range.
Seeing the opponent retreat, Chen Junfeng didn’t continue the assault but stood his ground, coldly staring at the man across.
Their eyes met, the man opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But before he could speak, his eyes suddenly narrowed, looking down at his chest. The originally white jacket was now noticeably stained with blood seeping from inside.
Just moments ago, when Chen Junfeng turned into countless spear shadows with extreme speed, the man’s body was pierced without him feeling it, only now stopping to realize the intense pain from his body.
Three spear strikes!
In that split second, his body was struck by the silver spear three times.
Clenching his teeth, the man’s wrist flicked, drawing a handful of silver needles, tossing them directly at Chen Junfeng. Then, turning rapidly, he fled in the opposite direction. But just as he turned, Zhu Qing, who had been lying in wait, made his move.
Whoosh whoosh!
Amidst the sound of slicing air, several throwing knives glided along the ground, aiming directly at the man’s lower body. The man paused slightly, unexpected that there was an intercept from behind. In this moment of distraction, sharp throwing knives had already pierced his legs.
Bang!
Seeing the man fall to the ground, Chen Junfeng and Zhu Qing slowly approached from both front and back. After all, the opponent is a Heavenly List expert; even seriously injured, who knows if he might make a desperate counterattack.
Upon nearing, for caution, Chen Junfeng gently flicked his wrist, the silver spearhead traced over the man’s hands and feet, drawing a thread of blood, instantly disabling the tendons in his hands and feet. Thus, no matter how strong the man’s skills were, he could no longer get up.
"Zhu Qing, take off his scarf, let everyone see his true face."
Upon hearing Ling Chen’s order, Zhu Qing nodded, quickly stepped in front of the man, and tore off the scarf from his face. Instantly, an unfamiliar face appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Ling Chen examined him for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"
The man coldly stared at Ling Chen, as if not hearing his words. Beside him, Chen Junfeng spoke, "Is Xie Quan your master?"
However, no matter what Ling Chen and Chen Junfeng asked, the man showed no intention of answering. Seeing this, Ling Chen gestured, saying, "Take him to the car."
Since the man wouldn’t speak, they would take their time; once at the Dragon Tiger Hall, he would have ways to make him talk.
Watching the Dragon Tiger Hall disciples approaching him, the man suddenly said, "Ling Chen, don’t think that capturing me solves everything."
Hearing this, Ling Chen asked, "What do you mean? Do you have other accomplices?"
The man sneered, "This is just the beginning. Even if I die, there are many others like me."
