Chapter 366: You Dare Hit Me?

366. Chapter 366: You Dare Hit Me?

?

Inside the Lian Dan Shi.

Jiang Cheng, who was monitoring the furnace, inexplicably felt an ominous sensation.

This feeling had only appeared at the brink of life‑or‑death crises.

"Peng!"

A massive roar.

The previously sealed massive door was suddenly kicked away with a single foot! Amid the smoke and dust, a huge hand reached for his throat.

In the blink of an eye, a gigantic turtle shell appeared, blocking the grab.

"Xuan Gui Shield?"

Huang Xing's face showed surprise.

The most feared situation still occurred.

This kid has a fourth‑grade intermediate treasure on him! "Did Gu Zhangjun send you?"

Jiang Cheng took out his phone and asked.

The Dawn Society's president is only a Ten-level Force Warrior, so he couldn't have the nerve to storm here in broad daylight.

Moreover, this person's speed was so fast that he could only see an afterimage; given Gu Zhangkong's recent statements, only Gu Zhangjun fits.

Huang Xing didn't answer, raised his battle knife, and slammed it down hard onto the turtle shell before Jiang Cheng—one strike.

Two strikes.

Three strikes.

The turtle shell remained steadfast, showing no sign of breaking in the short time.

Just then, the phone rang for only a second before being answered, and Gu Zhangkong's urgent voice sounded.

"Got it, I'm coming right away! If possible, hold him off as much as you can!"

Hearing that voice, Huang Xing felt a bit irritated.

What a Gu Zhangkong, yet a mere Ten-level Force Warrior doesn't even regard this Grandmaster?

If it weren't because the other is the Gu family's young master, he would have killed him on the spot.

In his fury, he slashed out more than ten strikes.

Yet Jiang Cheng remained unharmed.

At this moment, Huang Xing was almost going insane.

If it were a fourth‑grade primary defensive treasure, he could perhaps, using his Alloy Battle Knife, destroy the treasure before its Force Light Points were exhausted and take Jiang Cheng away.

But with a fourth‑grade intermediate defensive treasure, he truly had no way.

Unless he exhausts the Force Light Points inside, he can't break the opponent's defense; even if he uses his fourth‑grade primary Talismans, the effect is minimal.

"Damned Gu Zhangjun!"

He muttered that in his heart.

If the opponent had given him a better Alloy Battle Knife, or two or three intermediate Talismans, this turtle shell would already be broken! Even after slashing a few more times, there was still no sign of breaking the defense, so Huang Xing finally decided to give up.

If he kept delaying, Gu Zhangkong would arrive, and unforeseen variables might arise.

What he didn't expect was that Jiang Cheng, who had been calmly taking hits without any movement, suddenly threw a solid punch that struck his nose.

It didn't hurt, but it was highly insulting.

Huang Xing was stunned, staring straight at Jiang Cheng with disbelief in his eyes, as if saying, "You dare hit me? Try again?" Jiang Cheng said nothing, silently gave him the middle finger.

"You're looking for death!"

Huang Xing erupted in fury, his teeth clenched as if to bite them to pieces.

A mere Force Warrior, how could he flaunt his might before him? If not for that turtle shell, he would have killed the opponent dozens, even hundreds of times! "Clang! Clang! Clang!"

In the room, the sound of blade striking the turtle shell rang continuously.

Until a rapid footfall sounded outside the door, he snapped out of his daze, his anger‑clouded mind clearing.

Gu Zhangkong is here! Right outside the door!

He no longer hesitated; instead of exiting through the doorway, he charged inside, smashing through a wall and kept sprinting forward.

"Looking for death!"

Gu Zhangkong now stood at the doorway, his eyes blazing with fury at the scene. He hadn't expected that such a dangerous incident would occur in the brief moment he was away.

It should be noted that this is a Black Market stronghold, yet people kept breaking in again and again! Seeing Huang Xing smash through the last wall and run outside, Gu Zhangkong produced a Talismans.

Immediately after, a burning fire snake, as thick as an adult's arm and two to three meters long, surged toward Huang Xing at nearly a kilometer per second.

Even from a distance of one or two meters, as the fire snake flew by, Jiang Cheng still felt a wave of heat hitting his face, thanks to the Xuan Gui Shield's protection.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like without it.

Huang Xing at this moment also sensed a strong sense of crisis; looking back, despair filled his eyes.

Fire Snake Talisman! Gu Zhangkong also had a Fire Snake Talisman on him! This is a fourth‑grade high-level talisman; even a Third-Level Master would be severely wounded relying only on the flesh.

But he is only a First-level Grandmaster; his bodily defense is countless times weaker than that of a Third-Level Master.

Yet he only has a fourth‑grade primary treasure on him, which can't block it at all.

"Damn it!"

Huang Xing felt infinite remorse.

He knew that even if Gu Zhangkong wasn't given much attention, as the Gu family's young master, he surely had some trump cards.

If he had left a few seconds earlier, he could have escaped, but Jiang Cheng's provocation made him lose his wits.

Now there's no chance to run; he shouted, turned, and slashed at the fire snake with a knife!

Boom!

A deafening roar.

The battle sword in his hand melted in an instant.

The surface shield couldn't even hold for the blink of an eye.

The fire snake slithered through his chest.

Huang Xing fell with a thud, knelt on the ground, a huge hole appeared in his chest, his internal organs were instantly roasted and vaporized, he was dead beyond death.

The fire snake curved in midair and returned to the Talismans in Gu Zhangkong's hand.

If he were still alive, he would certainly recognize that the Talismans in Gu Zhangkong's hand are not mere Talismans, but a talisman treasure.

Jiang Cheng watched the scene, his heart also shocked.

The assassin must have been a Grandmaster, but even a Grandmaster—how? He was killed instantly!

"Are you okay?"

Gu Zhangkong put away the talisman treasure and hurriedly asked.

"It's fine."

Jiang Cheng smiled and shook his head, "Thanks to the treasure Gu Dage gave me, but the original force realm inside it has also been half consumed."

"It's fine, I'll give you a new one later."

Gu Zhangkong let out a sigh of relief.

"Gu Dage, who is that person?"

Jiang Cheng nodded, his gaze turning outward.

"Go take a look and you'll know."

Gu Zhangkong's eyes turned cold.

The two walked to the corpse.

Gu Zhangkong reached out, felt the latter's face for a moment, then tore off the Human Skin Mask on the face.

A familiar face appeared before the two.

"It's him."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.

Indeed, the man before them was the middle‑aged man who had come with Gu Zhangjun back then.

Gu Zhangkong's complexion turned completely grim.

He already had some suspicions, but such matters require evidence.

Now there is evidence, yet even so, it may still be impossible to deal with the mastermind. (End of chapter)
