Chapter 613 - 34: Capture the Ringleader to Catch the Bandits

"Everyone."

Chen Tang smiled slightly and said, "This is pointless."

But before he finished speaking, Chen Tang suddenly leaped into the air, pouncing towards the Commander of Gaoping County, his eyes filled with a fierce glare!

There’s no need for further discussion at this point.

Although the opponents were many, to capture the king is to capture the gang; as long as he held the Commander of Gaoping County hostage, he could leave this place.

Once past Gaoping, it would be smooth sailing and wide open spaces.

With the speed of the Thunder Leopard, no matter how many troops there are, they could never catch up.

"What audacity!"

"Seeking death!"

Everyone who witnessed this cursed in anger.

Nobody expected that Chen Tang, being all alone against their massive forces, would not only refuse to surrender but dare to take the initiative!

"Protect the Commander!"

The two Captains immediately ordered.

Hundreds of soldiers instantly shielded the Commander of Gaoping, with bows drawn and swords unsheathed.

To capture the king, one must be swift and decisive, suppressing everything with overwhelming force, as quickly as possible!

"Roar!"

In mid-air, Chen Tang took a deep breath and fiercely unleashed the Sound Attack Technique "Lion’s Roar"!

With a roar, the ground shook and ears were deafened!

The herdsmen from Gaoping County, most of whom hadn’t reached the Entry Level, even those who had, had low cultivation.

Among the hundreds of herdsmen in front of Chen Tang, aside from a few Captains, none had cultivated inner Qi.

Upon hearing the roar at this distance, they fainted on the spot, falling off their horses!

Not just them, even the surrounding horses were frightened, scattering in all directions.

"Roar!"

On the other side, the Thunder Leopard also howled.

Horses thudded to the ground, kneeling consecutively, throwing the herdsmen off their backs.

The crowd around was in chaos.

In the blink of an eye, only the two Captains remained in front of Chen Tang!

"Kill!"

The two Captains drew the long knives at their waists, bursting with inner Qi, slashing towards Chen Tang.

Their temples were prominently raised, indicating they had cultivated to the Fourth Grade Awakening Realm.

But before Chen Tang, they were completely ineffectual.

Facing the slashing long knives, Chen Tang, barehanded, used the Great Strength Vajra Hand, raising his hands for two punches.

Clang! Clang!

The clash between his flesh-and-blood fists and the long knives actually rang out like metal clashing!

The two Fourth Grade Captains trembled all over, feeling a tremendous divine power from the knife, mighty and overwhelming, like a tempest crashing over them, completely indefensible!

Crack!

The two long knives shattered under Chen Tang’s barehanded blows!

The two Fourth Grade Captains were sent flying, spewing blood.

Snap!

Just then, a shadow swiftly approached, striking Chen Tang’s head with a crisp sound!

"Hit!"

The Commander of Gaoping exclaimed.

He had recognized that Chen Tang was a body refining martial artist.

Yet this strike, charged with innate True Qi,

should have shattered his skull and killed him immediately, no matter how strong he was physically!

However, the Commander quickly realized something was wrong.

This strike resulted in no brain matter or blood.

It looked like it hit solidly, but lacked any force, as if striking thin air!

Incorrect!

It was an afterimage!

The Commander of Gaoping immediately realized.

By this time, Chen Tang had already used the Chasing Shadows body technique to get within arm’s reach, within striking distance!

The whip, as a weapon, is difficult to master.

Its attack range is much longer than normal weapons, often overpowering opponents of equal strength.

But once engaged in close combat, the whip’s power is greatly diminished and cannot be effectively wielded.

The Commander of Gaoping, adept in using whips, naturally understood this principle.

Seeing Chen Tang close in, he decisively discarded the whip, surging with innate True Qi, raised a palm, and struck towards Chen Tang’s skull!

Hu!

Chen Tang’s eyes shone brightly; he did not retreat or dodge, clenching his fists like hammers, raising them for a pounding punch!

Having reached the Third Grade Meridian Passage Realm, with meridians transformed by demon blood, at his mental command, his Qi and blood roared like crashing waves, explosively powerful.

He was eager to test the extent of his current prowess.

The Commander of Gaoping, witnessing the punch, changed his expression.

In his eyes, Chen Tang seemed to transform into an ancient War God, imposing and unstoppable, wielding not bare fists but a heavy iron hammer crushing down!

Before the punch arrived, the Commander felt intense suffocation and mounting pressure.

"How can someone so young reach such a realm and cultivate such fist technique?"

The Commander was shocked.

Boom!

Fist and palm collided, releasing a dull thud like a beaten drum.

The Commander constantly maneuvered innate True Qi but was countered by Chen Tang’s dominating Qi and blood.

On the contrary, Chen Tang’s fist erupted with tide-like power, continuously.

The Commander felt his palm, as if not against a fist but a massive iron hammer, feeling a piercing pain in his palm!

The immense force surged through his palm.

The Commander dared not resist head-on, hurriedly channeling the innate True Qi to diffuse the force under him.

"Ow!"

The steed beneath him could not withstand such divine power, let out a mournful cry, its body erupted in a blood mist, with bones shattered, collapsing and dying!

The remaining herdsmen had regained their senses and regrouped.

Swish, swish, swish!

The sound of arrows tearing through the air was incessant.

Countless crossbow arrows flew densely towards Chen Tang!

Thud!

At this moment, Chen Tang’s heart pounded with a sound.

His Qi and blood surged, enveloping him in golden mist, and his entire presence became dignified!

He completely ignored the arrows shooting towards him, took another step forward, raised his hand, and pummeled down towards the Commander’s skull!

Ting ting clang clang!

Countless arrows struck Chen Tang’s body and fell, accompanied by the sound of clashing jade and stone.

"Vajra Unbreakable Technique!"

The Commander’s eyes were sharp, instantly recognizing the technique’s origins.

"Who are you from the Esoteric Sect?"

The Commander shouted.

Previously, it was rumored that the Esoteric Sect had been wiped out by the Demon Monarch of the Demon Sect, even the Sect Leader Monk Fa Qing and Master Luo Fei had disappeared.

How could there now appear a martial artist versed in ’Vajra Indestructible’?

Chen Tang did not reply, letting his fists do the talking!

Moreover, Chen Tang’s fist technique was terrifyingly fierce, with such oppressive momentum that all avenues for evasion were sealed!

The Commander had nowhere to escape; he could only mobilize all the innate True Qi in his dantian, gathering it in his palm to block Chen Tang’s fist.

Boom!

Another direct clash.

The Commander’s entire body sank, with both legs buried in the soil, level with his ankles!

He couldn’t resist at all; his entire arm went numb, forcing him to raise his other arm to block.

Chen Tang’s eyes changed, transforming his fist into a claw, shifting from hardness to softness, deploying the Dragon-Subduing Hand, snapping a few times.

After a series of cracking sounds, he instantly dislocated several of the Commander’s joints, capturing him alive!
