Chapter 2227 - 2200: Ge Cangtian Makes His Move
This idea had always existed in Tang Qingyun’s mind before Lu Tianxing came to Xiangjiang, but after Lu Tianxing arrived and the way he performed in Xiangjiang made Tang Qingyun completely abandon this plan. If he wanted to have a fair and square final battle with Lu Tianxing, to openly beat Lu Tianxing to death, yet failed to accomplish that, then what awaited the Tang Family would be annihilation. Tang Qingyun absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen. He had to make this matter one hundred percent perfect; there was absolutely no room for any mistake.
So Tang Qingyun chose another path: kidnap the people around Lu Tianxing to threaten him, then on the fifth day of the New Year wipe Lu Tianxing out in one net, and Xue Bing was very clearly the best bargaining chip to use in threatening Lu Tianxing.
After hearing Tang Qingyun’s words, the man was slightly stunned, then immediately opened his mouth and said, "Young Master Tang, Xue Bing is a member of the Yanhuang Group. If we kidnap her and word gets to Sima Lingyun’s ears, I’m worried Sima Lingyun will...."
"Sima Lingyun?"
Without waiting for this man to finish, Tang Qingyun cut him off, sneering as he said, "Even if Sima Lingyun finds out, so what? Without evidence, what can he do to our Tang Family? If he dares to do anything, then he can forget about sitting in that position of Group Leader of the Yanhuang Group."
Hearing Tang Qingyun’s wildly arrogant words, a cold, bloodthirsty smile likewise surfaced on the man’s face. "Young Master Tang, I know what to do. Just now Xue Bing and the young master of the Huang Family left the airport. I’ll move now and bring Xue Bing back."
"Be careful."
"Young Master Tang, I understand."
After this man hung up the phone with Tang Qingyun, that trace of icy smile on his face grew even thicker.
Casually slipping the phone into his pocket, the man turned and left the airport.
After this man left, a figure appeared out of thin air in the airport. Looking at this man who had suddenly left, the corner of his mouth curved into a cold smile. "An ant dares dream of defying Heaven, not knowing life from death."
As his words fell, this figure did not hesitate in the slightest and walked straight toward the outside.
Under the illumination of the lights, one could clearly see who this person was—it was actually Ge Cangtian, the one who had appeared at the Huang Family before and injured Snake Lady.
After Ge Cangtian took a few steps forward, his figure suddenly vanished without a trace.
Yes, vanished.
And vanished utterly, as if he had never appeared at all. If one hadn’t noticed Ge Cangtian, they would absolutely think they’d seen a ghost, otherwise how could a living person disappear into thin air like that?
At the same time, the man who had just been calling Tang Qingyun had already left the airport, directly getting into a car parked nearby. After telling the driver to追 in the direction where Huang Feiyu had left, this man sat down in the back seat.
Sitting in the back seat, the man gazed at the scenery outside the window, his brows slightly knit. He didn’t know why, but ever since getting in the car he had felt a wave of unease. An unprecedented sense of irritability surged up from his heart, as if something major was about to happen. This made his brows suddenly furrow tightly.
"Stop the car."
Suddenly, the man sitting in the back opened his mouth and said, "Just stop for me up ahead."
"Yes."
Hearing the man’s words, the driver who was driving did not hesitate at all and immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Once the car had come to a steady stop, the man immediately got out without the slightest hesitation, then said, "Drive on ahead now, just keep going. You can circle around Xiangjiang for a few hours if you like, understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
Hearing the man’s words, the driver nodded, restarted the car, and drove off into the distance.
Watching the taillights of the car disappear into the darkness, the man’s brows remained tightly knit. The unease in his heart did not lessen because the car had gone; instead it grew stronger and stronger. This gave him a faint sense that something was wrong. As a Martial Artist at the Peak of Mid-stage Mythical, he had always placed great trust in his intuition. It was precisely because of this trust in his intuition that he had avoided several deadly dangers in the past and saved his own life.
This time would be no exception.
"I don’t care who you are, if you want to kill me, you’re dreaming."
A trace of disdain flashed at the corner of the man’s mouth. His gaze swept the surroundings, and he did not choose to continue along the main road. Instead, his figure blurred and he shot off toward a more secluded area.
Although there were no lights in that place and it was full of trees and undergrowth, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to pass, practically impossible to take a single step, for a Martial Artist at the Peak of Mid-stage Mythical, this was nothing worth mentioning.
One saw the man’s figure flicker, his speed as fast as lightning. His whole person was like a small bird gliding through the air in a single sweep, his speed extremely fast. Often, just as one felt their vision blur, his figure had already vanished without a trace.
And just as this man left the road, Ge Cangtian, who had been following him all along, silently and soundlessly appeared at the spot where the man had just been standing. Looking at the departing back, the corner of his mouth curved into a cold smile. "Truly, there’s a road to Heaven and you refuse to take it; Hell has no gate, yet you break in."
Originally, Ge Cangtian had been considering whether to find a secluded place to make his move, but now it seemed there was no need at all.
The man’s figure flashed like lightning, constantly shuttling through the air, his speed as fast as a bolt. He didn’t dare pause in the slightest, because for some reason, as time passed he felt the omen in his heart grow stronger and stronger, as if in just a short while an immense terror would descend, ready at any moment to take his life.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a brilliant light like a waning moon suddenly flared out of thin air, appearing especially dazzling in the darkness.
It was a blade aura, grand and overwhelming, carrying an incomparably sharp presence. In an instant it tore open the sky, cleaving viciously toward the man’s back.
In that instant, the man immediately felt a powerful aura of death envelop him. In that split second he hastily turned his head. What met his eyes was a blade light slashing down, wherever it passed cutting through everything like rotten wood. All the vegetation was shredded to powder in an instant, and a deep blade mark was left on the ground.
Feeling the terrifying power contained within this blade aura, the man’s expression changed drastically. Almost without any hesitation, he took a deep breath, his entire body’s True Qi erupting in an instant, wrapping his body as he dodged to the side.
PS: There’s more coming, it might be a bit late!!
