Chapter 454: Entanglement
Zhou Chuan looked at the two figures standing in the rain, a solemn expression appearing in his eyes, the likes of which had never been seen before.
“People from the Gong family? And they even control the power of the ninth-order wind?” Zhang Chen asked, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Ninth-order power was already comparable to a Yang God!
Especially since one of them controlled a strange wind that could stir people's souls, and the other controlled a strange wind that could confuse people's minds. This kind of power seemed to be somewhat restraining against Yang Gods, martial arts will, and other powers.
“The injuries on my body were left by that old man in the black robe. That old guy almost dug out my heart and liver.” Zhou Chuan slowly put the package on his back, then stood up from the pavilion.
“Zhou Chuan, you can't escape. You should obediently surrender and return to the Gong family to plead guilty.” The voice of the old man in the white robe contained a strange power. Although the voice was not very loud, it could still penetrate the rain and reach the ears of the two people upstairs.
“Heh heh, escape? What is called escape? I call this a strategic retreat.” Zhou Chuan was very unconvinced, his voice full of stubbornness: “You Gong family are just a bunch of ants, but one day I will kill all the old turtles of your Gong family.”
After saying that, Zhou Chuan had already jumped out of the teahouse and rushed into the heavy rain, only his weak, mosquito-like voice echoed in Zhang Chen's ears: “Escape quickly! These two old turtles are not easy to deal with. My martial arts spirit and will are not tempered enough, these two old turtles somewhat restrain me, take care of yourself.”
After Zhou Chuan finished speaking, he was already far away, his running speed breaking the sound barrier, leaving a clear waterline in the air.
Seeing this, the black-robed old man turned into a black whirlwind and disappeared into the rain, chasing after Zhou Chuan, while the white-robed old man stood still, his eyes fixed on Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen had killed many people from the Gong family, such as Gong Bao, so he and the Gong family could be considered to have a blood feud. However, Zhang Chen felt that the Gong family might not know about this, and even if they did, they might not be able to recognize him.
“Are you going to come down on your own, or am I going to drag you down?” The white-robed old man looked at Zhang Chen, his voice gentle and pure.
“Oh? The person you are looking for is Zhou Chuan, what does it have to do with me?” Zhang Chen asked, a confused expression on his face: “Could it be that the Gong family knows that I killed Gong Bao and other direct descendants?”
“Zhou Chuan kowtowed to you, which shows that your status is extraordinary. I would like to ask you to help me capture Zhou Chuan. What do you think?” The white-robed old man's voice was very polite, as if he was discussing with Zhang Chen, but his words were full of unquestionable toughness.
Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and sized up the old man in front of him: “What if I say no?”
“Your cultivation is only at the third level, you have absolutely no chance of resisting in front of me.” The white-robed old man said with a smile.
“So I have no choice.” Zhang Chen sighed quietly.
“That's right!” The white-robed old man said: “I know you have a background, otherwise Zhou Chuan would never kneel down to you, but Zhou Chuan has killed too many experts from my Gong family, he must die! No matter what your identity is today, you must help my Gong family capture Zhou Chuan.”
“The Gong family is too domineering!” Zhang Chen slowly stood up from the teahouse: “And you seem to have me figured out.”
“My wind is the Soul-Reaping Wind. As long as you are hit by my Soul-Reaping Wind, you will be controlled by me, so it's best if you cooperate on your own. It's not a big problem if you don't want to cooperate, I will make you cooperate obediently.” The white-robed old man greeted him with a smile.
“May I ask for your name?” Zhang Chen asked.
“Gong Bai.” The white-robed old man said.
“Was the one just now called Gong Hei?” Zhang Chen joked with a smile, without the slightest hint of tension on his face.
“That's right.” Gong Bai nodded.
Zhang Chen couldn't laugh anymore. He picked up the oiled paper umbrella beside him, slowly walked down the pavilion, stepped into the heavy rain, and came to Gong Bai: “You are very confident.”
“Because I have killed too many people, so confidence has slowly been cultivated.” Gong Bai said.
Those who can survive in the killing will of course have arrogance. This is definitely not because the other party is lucky, but because the other party is strong.
“I really want to try your Soul-Reaping Wind.” Zhang Chen put one hand in his sleeve, and the other hand held the oiled paper umbrella. The heavy rain continued to drip down the surface of the oiled paper umbrella, wetting the traces on the ground.
“If you don't listen, you will have a chance to try it out. I don't care what your background is, and I don't care what your background is, because even if you are a member of the royal family, I will not be afraid.” Gong Bai's words had a very obvious warning meaning, but he was also very confident.
Faced with Gong Bai's warning, Zhang Chen's hand in his sleeve suddenly protruded, and a blood-red light and shadow cut through the rain and slashed towards Gong Bai on the opposite side.
No matter who the other party was, Zhang Chen was confident that as long as he was hit by his Blood Transformation Divine Saber, he would be directly finished.
Gong Bai's expression changed drastically the moment he saw Zhang Chen's Blood Transformation Divine Saber. He recognized the origin of the Blood Transformation Divine Saber at a glance. After all, there was only one divine weapon in this world that could easily cut through the reverse scale of an eleventh-order True Dragon.
Moreover, everyone could see that great battle that day, as long as they weren't blind.
Gong Bai turned into a wisp of breeze and dissipated, slipping away from the saber wind that Zhang Chen had slashed out, his form appearing ten feet away from Zhang Chen: “I control Wind Escape, and the saber wind you slashed out is also wind. As long as there is wind, it will be under my control.”
“How is this saber in your hands? What is your relationship with Xie Xuan?” Gong Bai looked at the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, his eyes full of greed. If he could seize the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, his future combat power would definitely be even better.
“What a pity, I still can't kill you?” A look of regret appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes, and he turned around and fled into the rain.
He didn't use his escape technique, because he still had methods that he hadn't used. If he used his escape technique, how would Gong Bai take the bait?
“Can you escape?” Gong Bai looked at Zhang Chen's fleeing movements, a mocking expression appearing in his eyes: “No matter how fast you are, can you be faster than the wind?”
Gong Bai stood on the spot and blew out a mouthful of yellow air towards Zhang Chen, and then the yellow air turned into a meter-long stream and rushed towards the direction Zhang Chen was running. Before Zhang Chen could run ten meters, he was already caught by the yellow wind, directly shrouded in the yellow wind, and then Zhang Chen stood motionless on the spot, like a sculpture.
Zhang Chen only felt a gust of breeze blowing on his face, and then his whole brain became dizzy, as if he was in a half-dream state, losing control of his body.
At this time, the Wind-Fixing Bead in his spiritual world vibrated slightly, and then all the anomalies disappeared. Zhang Chen regained control of his body, but he still stood there blankly, as if he was a dried-up wooden stake.
“Turn around.” Gong Bai said.
Zhang Chen obediently turned around, looking at Gong Bai with empty and dazed eyes.
“Which family are you from?” Gong Bai asked.
Hearing Gong Bai's question, Zhang Chen's mind raced, and the next moment he said: “White Lotus Sect.”
He had a feud with the White Lotus Sect. If he could divert the trouble eastward and get the White Lotus Sect to go to war with the Gong family, that would be great.
Sure enough, when Gong Bai on the opposite side heard Zhang Chen's words, he couldn't help but be shocked. The White Lotus Sect had a huge power and was not easy to deal with. Even if the Gong family faced the White Lotus Sect, they would not want to provoke them if they could avoid it.
“But now that I have already provoked them, I can't care so much.” Gong Bai muttered to himself.
Then he asked again: “Tell me about your status in the White Lotus Sect.”
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way to win every battle. Now that he had offended the White Lotus Sect, of course he had to grasp all the details in order to come up with a proper way to deal with it.
“I am the son of Chen Zhifei, the leader of the Flood Banner.” Zhang Chen replied blankly: “My name is Chen Ming.”
“He is actually Chen Zhifei's son?” Gong Bai was somewhat apprehensive. Chen Zhifei was a descendant of the previous dynasty, and his foundation was deep, so he was not easy to provoke.
“But what if he is Chen Zhifei's son? With such a divine weapon in hand, I would not hesitate to start a war with the White Lotus Sect for it.” Gong Bai's eyes fell on the blood saber, a burning look appearing in his eyes.
With this divine weapon, coupled with his own bloodline power, he would dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers even if he was a tenth-order powerhouse.
So Gong Bai said with a smile: “This saber is not suitable for you. Give this saber to me, and I will find you a new saber in the future. That saber will definitely be suitable for you.”
Zhang Chen's expression struggled when he heard this, and he held the saber in his hand, his expression hesitant.
“What great greed, no wonder he dared to take advantage of Xie Xuan's backyard fire to snatch Xie Xuan's saber, even my Soul-Reaping Wind was resisted by him to some extent. This kid's obsession with this saber is quite deep.” Gong Bai was not surprised to see Zhang Chen's struggling expression. After all, it would be strange if the other party was willing to hand over such a treasure to him willingly.
At this time, Zhang Chen was holding the handle of the saber in his hand, and his hands and the handle of the saber were all hidden in his sleeves. Gong Bai on the outside couldn't see it at all. The Blood God Child in Zhang Chen's body turned into a drop of blood and quietly attached itself to the handle of the saber.
Of course he knew that he was not Gong Bai's opponent, but did killing people necessarily require strong strength? Not necessarily!
