Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: A Tense Moment
"If it’s the last moment, I won’t say anything, but will prove what I want to say with actions." Chen Tianlong said, giving Lin Wushuang a quick kiss on the cheek and then quickly pulling away, "I don’t want to put what I want to do here, because a few minutes are far from enough."
Upon hearing Chen Tianlong say this, Lin Wushuang blushed, clearly having misunderstood.
However, in such a thrilling moment, it’s rare for the young lady to still blush, which is exactly the effect Chen Tianlong desired. Actually, by this time, Chen Tianlong had already thought of a method, although it was likely to be very risky.
"Wushuang, no matter what happens, don’t get up, understand?" Chen Tianlong advised.
"Chen Tianlong, what are you planning?" Lin Wushuang was stunned, sensing a kind of ominous premonition.
Chen Tianlong did not answer but instead asked again, "Do you understand? No matter what happens, don’t get up."
"Yeah, yeah." Lin Wushuang did not know what Chen Tianlong was planning, but seeing his sincere expression, she couldn’t help but nod, feeling incredibly tense.
Because under such circumstances, even one careless moment could get you skewered like a honeycomb.
Having given instructions, seeing the wall above already descending and about to reach a person’s height, Chen Tianlong started moving his body towards the nearby right wall as if swimming in water.
After about ten seconds, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath and suddenly stood up, directly executing Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root. Why did Chen Tianlong use this move?
The reason is simple. After using this move, it causes a brief three-second Heavenly Tyrant effect, but even then, the attack range is limited, only able to eliminate the nearest row of bamboo tubes. Once he lands, Chen Tianlong must quickly block, or he could easily suffer injuries all over his body.
Indeed, after executing Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root, Chen Tianlong landed. But instead of lying on the ground, he gathered his strength and directly activated Heavenly Tyrant, followed by a Ghost Shadow Flash. Dragon Slayer Sword flickered past, causing half a cavern full of bamboo tubes to fall to the ground.
Still, those already fired hidden weapons would make another round. Chen Tianlong’s Heavenly Tyrant could only block some of the damage but couldn’t defend against it all.
Undoubtedly, although Chen Tianlong carefully dodged, his sad arms and thighs got hit by numerous hidden weapons, almost about ten or so.
The only thing to be grateful for is that these hidden weapons weren’t poisoned, and under the effect of Overlord Body, they didn’t inflict severe damage on Chen Tianlong, though he was still covered with wounds, with many holes in his clothes and blood flowing.
Having done all this, the two weren’t out of danger yet, as the wall above still continued to descend, reaching just thigh-level.
Chen Tianlong didn’t delay further, urgently half-squatting ahead, directly arriving by Lin Wushuang’s side and quickly urging, "Wushuang, let’s crawl over quickly."
"Yeah, yeah," Lin Wushuang saw the hidden weapons had calmed down, obviously handled by Chen Tianlong, and followed him crawling quickly.
But there were still twenty meters to another small cave entrance, impossible to get there in one go.
At this moment, the wall above suddenly sped up its descent, seemingly about to crush the two. Alarmed, Chen Tianlong swiftly hugged Lin Wushuang, forcefully launching forward like a cannonball.
"Boom!"
As they barely entered the small entrance, the stone wall above closed with the floor, causing Chen Tianlong to take a deep breath. This was no joke; just a fraction of a second more, they would have been flattened.
"Damn, is Master Void crazy? How could he conceive of such a mechanism? Aren’t monks supposed to be compassionate? This mechanism kills instantly." Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but swear angrily.
Lin Wushuang watched Chen Tianlong’s angry expression, covering her mouth and laughing quietly. "Being handsome is something else, even anger is handsome," she thought at that moment.
Seeing Lin Wushuang laugh, Chen Tianlong inexplicably felt a lot better, helping her up, concernedly asking, "Wushuang, are you hurt?"
"No," Lin Wushuang looked over Chen Tianlong, his front was fine, but seeing blood on his arms and legs, she anxiously rotated his body, seeing a scene that made her heart ache, "Chen Tianlong, how did you get so many injuries? Does it hurt?"
Seeing the dozen or so wounds on Chen Tianlong, apparently still bleeding, Lin Wushuang felt heartbroken, quickly taking out a small handkerchief to wipe him.
"Hehe, it doesn’t hurt, it’s no big deal, you know my body well, the bleeding will gradually stop soon, and the wounds will heal in a couple of days." Chen Tianlong was indifferent; such external injuries were child’s play to him.
Although it hurt, hadn’t he endured enough pain already?
Just like a sailor in the storm, no matter how painful, he would just wipe away tears, never asking why.
"Alright, Wushuang, let’s keep going," Chen Tianlong knew the road ahead would be even more dangerous, thinking how formidable the first checkpoint was, making it hard to imagine what might happen next. Taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, saying, "Why don’t you wait here, Wushuang? The front could be very dangerous, and after I pass through, I’ll get the master to open all doors for you."
"No way, I want to stay with you," Lin Wushuang’s pitiful gaze left Chen Tianlong defenseless, nodding in agreement.
Lin Wushuang smiled widely, hugging Chen Tianlong’s arm, "Chen Tianlong, I finally know how to subdue you."
"Oh? How do you subdue me? Do tell."
"Acting cute!"
"..."
Chen Tianlong was speechless, but indeed, what he feared most was women crying, and couldn’t resist women acting cute.
For instance, when Lu Xiaoyu acted cute, no matter how ruthless Chen Tianlong was, he couldn’t act against her, and that was evidence.
"Alright then, Wushuang, show me some cute acts," Chen Tianlong teased.
"Oh, I can’t do it," Lin Wushuang pouted.
"Haha, you can’t? Then what was that gesture earlier?" Chen Tianlong laughed, covering his mouth.
"I was just pouting, not acting cute, learn the difference."
"Oh, in my view, Wushuang, whether it’s pouting, making a duck face, or giving a kiss, it’s all acting cute," Chen Tianlong said, pecking her lips with a smack and then retreating quickly.
"You... you bad guy, sneaking a kiss again," Lin Wushuang said, her face turning red again.
The two continued playfully, seemingly forgetting their perilous situation, which was quite rare. In no time, they arrived at the second checkpoint.
How would they know they reached the second checkpoint?
The reason is straightforward; because Chen Tianlong’s chest suddenly felt heavy with pain again, signaling the arrival of danger.
"Wushuang, be careful here. I sense danger; there are definitely hidden mechanisms or traps. Be very vigilant, I might not be able to look after you," Chen Tianlong warned.
