Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Chapter 849: Chapter 698

"Tsk, don’t show off in front of this Commander Guard... Damn! You’re serious!"

Ji Li was halfway through his sneer when a surge of vast and immense Sword Qi burst forth, filled with a chilling murderous intent.

His body shuddered, and he hurriedly dodged aside.

His movement technique was already extremely fast, yet when he stabilized himself, he found that his inch-by-inch gold-trimmed sleeve had been shredded into strips by Chen Long’s Sword Qi.

"You with the last name Shang! This isn’t over between us!"

Those words were for later; right now, with Chen Long getting serious, Ji Li had no choice but to temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

He flickered to the side, pressing his back tightly against the wall.

From his angle, he could see Chen Long’s profile clearly, as well as every detail of his moves.

In terms of moves, Chen Long had just a few that he repeated over and over.

At first glance, it was somewhat akin to Ji Feng’s Martial Arts style.

The difference was that Ji Feng, limited by talent, used all his strength to hone his most powerful killer move.

Chen Long, on the other hand, was simply too lazy to show off any more.

He was a prodigy favored by the heavens.

Even Ji Li occasionally envied his talent.

Of course, Ji Li had his own unique advantages over Chen Long, such as his suave good looks!

Yet another wave of Sword Qi slashed across.

Ji Li’s expression changed, and he leaped aside to evade.

The spot where he had just stood was reduced to ruins.

"You with the last name Shang, can’t you aim a bit better? Attack them if you must, why are you always targeting me?"

After venting his frustration, he looked at the pile of ruins, feeling apprehensive, and muttered, "Luckily, this Commander Guard dodged quickly; if it were someone with a bit weaker Qinggong, you’d have sliced them into pieces!"

Having known Chen Long for so long, he always knew Chen Long was formidable.

But he had never thought he could be this formidable.

Perhaps no one ever pushed him to this extent before, or perhaps he had been training even harder in Martial Arts over the years since the Grand Marshal was assassinated.

Chen Long’s eyes were bloodshot as he spoke, word for word, "I’ll say this one last time, stay further away."

"Got it, got it."

Ji Li’s words were impatient, but his feet moved faster than anyone else’s.

"Why are you here?"

When Meng Qianqian turned around, she found that Ji Li had used Qinggong to land behind her.

Ji Li felt a bit awkward.

Uh, it seems he’s too far away now...

"Ahem."

He cleared his throat and nonchalantly said, "Naturally, I’m here to help you!"

"Oh."

Meng Qianqian pushed him out with a single motion, "Fight."

Suddenly being pushed forward, ending up face to face with an assassin, Ji Li: "...!!"

The assassin was dumbfounded.

Fighting and somehow a person appears from the ground, who could believe that?

Ji Li was also stupefied.

Dodging and dodging, getting played by Little Yin Hu—the most ruthless is a woman’s heart!

The two stared wide-eyed at each other.

Ji Li suddenly threw a punch, sending the assassin flying fiercely!

With Ji Li joining in, Meng Qianqian was able to focus more on finding the Array’s core.

First, she glanced in Chen Long’s direction.

Her brother’s aura had changed.

He was going to unleash a true killing move.

She hoped he wouldn’t harm himself.

"I’m going to find the Array’s core."

She said to Lu Yuan and Ji Li.

The assassins at both ends of the street were blocked by Chen Long, Lu Yuan, and Ji Li, respectively.

She could move in the middle without obstruction.

Lu Yuan nodded, "Okay, don’t let a single one in."

The last sentence was directed at Ji Li.

Ji Li lightly tapped his folding fan against his palm, confidently stating, "Alright."

The two of them steeled their expressions, forming an impenetrable barrier for Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian could recall only limited information, but since Ji Li’s divination pointed to this place, it indicated that the Array was not far off.

If she were the Loulan Witch, where would she set the Array’s core?

She stopped in her tracks and looked up at the boundless sky.

The bright moon hung high, adorned by a river of stars.

She raised her hands, framing the moon with the space between her index fingers and thumbs, and gazed at it through the frame.

Suddenly, she felt a shock in her heart, and an insight flashed through her mind.

"A well!"

The place of utmost yin, none other than a well.

"It’s a well!"

She said.

"What?"

Lu Yuan didn’t catch it.

Those assassins resorted to dirty tricks when they couldn’t win, throwing darts and Fire Pearls that exploded, filling the air with smoke and chaos.

"Nothing! You keep fighting! I know now!"

Meng Qianqian lifted her skirt and ran swiftly.

Lu Yuan caught a glimpse of her taking long strides and couldn’t help but feel a toothache, "Slow down!"

Did this woman forget she was pregnant again?

Meng Qianqian hadn’t forgotten at all.

As she ran swiftly, she gently caressed her slightly protruding belly, "Baby, let’s find the Array’s core together, okay?"

Whether by coincidence or something else, just as she finished speaking, she indeed felt a movement from within.

Her heart was softened, yet her gaze became even more determined.

This time, she had the ability to protect her family.
