Chapter 117 - 114: Strong Appearance_l
Many times, it’s not enemies that put you in a bad situation, but teammates who stand on the same side as you.
Yang Chen had always understood this, for his current reincarnation was caused by people like Chen Ting.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen laughed.
He was curious how Chen Ting would explain his relationship with Zhang Huaizhong to Zhang Long and Zhang Ying.
Obviously, Zhang Long was also curious about the news, staring at Chen Ting and saying with a smirk: “No problem, as long as your news is true, we don’t mind exchanging your life for the lives of Yang Chen and Zhang Huaizhong. After all, we don’t care about killing you either.”
Chen Ting’s eyes flickered with joy when he heard this: “That’s great, I’ll tell you now. From what I know, Yang Chen and Zhang Huaizhong are planning to target the brothers of the Horse-thief Gang, and I guess they might have foolishly arrived here already.”
“Chen Ting actually betrayed us!” Zhang Huaizhong was furious.
Yang Chen smiled, not expecting that he still underestimated Chen Ting’s character. Moreover, Chen Ting was smart enough to guess that he and Zhang Huaizhong had already arrived.
“Chen Ting, you’ve betrayed your companions! Murong Liuhe and I saved you together, are you still human?” Feng Xiaotian, who was tightly bound at the side, roared angrily.
Murong Liuhe’s face was also grim: “Chen Ting, I never thought you’d be so beastly! By betraying the Great Wild Hundred Clans and siding with the Horse-thief Gang, you are living a disgraceful life. If your elders in your Sect know about this, do you really think they’ll let you off easily?”
“Hmph, do you think I’m like you? A bunch of idiots, you should worry about surviving first, everything else is nonsense. For the sake of the greater good, you would give up your life without question, what’s the point?” Chen Ting mocked.
“Chen Ting, is everything you said just now true?” Zhang Long asked in a deep voice.
“Absolutely true! Although it’s just a guess, every word I said is true.” Chen Ting hastily replied.
Zhang Long’s eyes sparkled when he heard Chen Ting’s news, saying: “Search the area and see if what this kid said is true or false.”
“Yes, brother Long!”
The three subordinate bandits started searching everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Yang Chen snorted coldly: “No need to look for it. Chen Ting was right, I’m already here.”
As the words fell, Yang Chen and Zhang Huaizhong revealed their figures.
“Yang Chen, how did you get here?”
“Yang Chen, you shouldn’t have come.” Murong Liuhe and Feng Xiaotian exclaimed urgently upon seeing Yang Chen’s arrival.
The other geniuses had a normal relationship with Yang Chen. Seeing him appear, their expressions changed, and they began to think about how to escape after Yang Chen fought the Horse-thief Gang.
Yang Chen didn’t bother considering what the other geniuses were thinking. He was here to save his acquaintances and incidentally rescue the other geniuses.
“See, I knew Yang Chen would come.” Chen Ting said with delight. “Was I right?
Was I right?”
With that said, at least his life was temporarily spared.
Zhang Long was also very surprised: “I didn’t expect Yang Chen, unlike others who would run away at the sight of us, you would actually dare to sneak in here. I don’t know whether to call you naive or a fool. You were able to defeat Zhang Ying, which was unexpected, but do you really think that you alone can handle all of us here?”
Zhang Ying gritted his teeth and said: “Brother, this kid has no chance.” “Of course he has no chance.” Zhang Long sneered.
Yang Chen ignored Zhang Long and Zhang Ying’s words. He glanced at Chen Ting and said slowly: “Chen Ting, not bad.”
Chen Ting trembled in fear as Yang Chen stared at him without any hesitation:
“Yang Chen, what are you happy about? You’ll be killed by the Horse-thief Gang soon. I really don’t know how you can still laugh.”
Since they had already torn apart their masks, Chen Ting naturally wouldn’t be polite to Yang Chen, and his words were filled with sarcasm.
Yang Chen laughed happily: “Since that’s the case, it seems I really need to teach you a lesson. But there’s no time now, Chen Ting, remember, I’ll deal with you later.”
“Teach others a lesson? Haha, Yang Chen, you better look after yourself first. You’re in danger now, and you still have the time to talk big?” Zhang Long sneered.
Upon hearing this, he barked an order: “Zhang Ying, and you three, keep an eye on Yang Chen.”
“Brother Long, alright!”
The several bandits didn’t hesitate and surrounded Yang Chen and Zhang Huaizhong in an offensive formation.
“It’s bad now!”
“We initially thought that with Yang Chen in the Great Wild Hundred Clans, we’d at least have someone to relay the news if we got out. We’d still have some hope of turning the tide, but who would have thought that Yang Chen would be so impulsive? Now that he’s surrounded, we’re done.” “The only hope for a turnaround is gone.”
“Yang Chen really shouldn’t have appeared here.”
Although Murong Liuhe and Feng Xiaotian didn’t say it openly, they had similar thoughts in their hearts.
Could Yang Chen, as powerful as he was, fight all five bandits?
They had all witnessed the strength of these five bandits.
With this in mind, Feng Xiaotian could not help but remind: “Brother Yang Chen, among the five bandits, Zhang Ying’s Martial Arts Cultivation has reached the Seventh Layer, and the other three have the strength level of the Body Refining Realm Sixth Stage. As for Zhang Long, he has reached the Body Refining Realm Seventh Layer Peak, which is no less impressive than you.” “Oh?” Yang Chen turned to look at Zhang Long upon hearing this.
Zhang Long sneered: “Surprised, aren’t you, Yang Chen? My Martial Arts Cultivation is not inferior to yours. Although I would love to compete with you, it’s too bad today; I’m not here to play martial games with you, but to take your life.”
“You just don’t have the guts.” Zhang Huaizhong scoffed mockingly.
“Hehe, the dead have no right to talk about courage. You’re called Zhang Huaizhong, right? Kill this kid first,” Zhang Long coldly snorted. “Zhang Huaizhong, don’t worry.” Yang Chen saw that Zhang Huaizhong was about to risk his life and said: “When the battle starts later, it won’t be a problem for you to hold one person with your strength. Leave the other four to me.”
“This… How can this work?” Zhang Huaizhong exclaimed in disbelief: “Brother Yang Chen, you mustn’t take this risk. In my opinion, even if I have to stake my life to stop four of them, you should take care of Zhang Long first. As long as we can defeat Zhang Long, we might still have a chance to turn the tables against the remaining four.”
Yang Chen smiled faintly: “In any case, just do as I said.”
What Zhang Huaizhong couldn’t know was that, with his current strength, there wasn’t much difference between fighting one or four, or even five opponents..
