Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Chen Tianlong Appears

"Third Elder! I..."

Zhou Botong immediately recognized Situ Feng, but now he felt deeply ashamed and humiliated. The people he brought were completely defeated. How could he not be ashamed?

"Elder Zhou, I’ve heard everything. You get up and step back; I’ll handle the rest." The Third Elder spoke in a commanding tone without saying much. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

At this moment, Chen Tianlong led his team over, ready to join forces with the Red-eyed Eagle. Situ Feng was also a bit frustrated, earlier when he came from another path at the foot of Qishan, Zhou Botong had already led his men ahead to scout, but unexpectedly, they were jointly injured.

Meanwhile, the Third Elder was somewhat surprised. The skills of these two were not to be underestimated. Even someone of Zhou Botong’s level could be easily defeated, indicating that this lad and the Red-eyed Eagle were no simple opponents.

"Kid, who exactly are you? It’s best you don’t meddle with the grievances between our Eight Clans and the Black Alliance, or the consequences will be severe." Situ Feng knew the young man had some skills. If it were just the Red-eyed Eagle, he could handle it alone.

"Heh, regardless of who I am, do you think I can still return alive?" Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly.

Even if Situ Feng were willing to let him go, Hao Shuai might not.

"Hmph, Dao, stop babbling with him; let’s join forces to take him down." The Red-eyed Eagle finally recognized Chen Tianlong’s prowess, actually being a Celestial Dao five-star. This was evident when Chen Tianlong displayed his powerful Qi for defense earlier.

"Haha, who will claim victory is still unknown!" A voice came from the sky, and a figure suddenly flashed into view, appearing before everyone.

Chen Tianlong was taken aback and looked closely; he was far too familiar with this person. It was Shangguan Ba from the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall.

Seeing this, Chen Tianlong frowned. Experts from the Eight Clans were arriving one after another. It seemed Zhao Lei and the others hadn’t managed to lure them all down.

However, in hindsight, Chen Tianlong initially planned to create chaos among the troops on the mountain to delay time until Fang Yan’s army arrived for rescue, but Hao Shuai remained so calm.

Now with Situ Feng and Shangguan Ba here, Zhou Botong could no longer fight, but with these two Celestial Dao six-star experts, Chen Tianlong and Red-eyed Eagle were in for a tough time.

The worst fear was more experts might arrive soon.

"Niu, Xiaoting, you guys block the two mountain paths; we’ll deal with these two." Chen Tianlong had no choice but to take them one at a time.

At this moment, Shangguan Ba approached the Third Elder and addressed them: "Chairman Hong, today you fall into our hands. It’s your misfortune. Will you surrender obediently, or wait for us to make a move?"

Shangguan Ba hadn’t recognized Chen Tianlong, naturally assuming only the Red-eyed Eagle was worth considering. After all, those in the Black Alliance beyond the Celestial Dao level were few; and since Xue Kong and Thunder Tiger were already with them, any remaining were insignificant.

"Heh, surrender? I, Hong, never knew what surrender means. If you want to kill me, show some skill first!" The Red-eyed Eagle didn’t bother wasting words with these people and went straight into using the Heart Method.

Situ Feng saw the Red-eyed Eagle’s stubbornness and slightly smirked, also secretly activating the Heart Method. Shangguan Ba was no exception.

Yet, these two completely dismissed Chen Tianlong as beside them, considering him as just a minor lackey from the Black Alliance.

"Then take on me." Situ Feng said, stepping forward quickly and striking at the Red-eyed Eagle. But the Red-eyed Eagle had anticipated this. Both were Celestial Dao six-stars, though Situ Feng was more experienced, his attacks swifter, clearly dominating the Red-eyed Eagle.

Although there might not be any immediate harm, this was not a good omen.

Shangguan Ba watched for a while, feeling Situ Feng’s moves were too slow. He stood forward, holding two throwing darts in his hands. Immediately, Shangguan Ba swung, sending the darts flying towards the Red-eyed Eagle.

But just at that moment, with two sudden clangs, Shangguan Ba’s darts were knocked down by someone.

"Who?"

Shangguan Ba was somewhat startled and scanned around. Besides the mountain path with two people standing each, the closest person was the young lad near him.

As for Zhao Qing these young girls, they hid behind a large rock, quietly staying where they were, not daring to emerge.

"Kid, I know it’s you. Stop pretending. Who are you really, do you dare to face me?" Although Shangguan Ba spoke these words, he was somewhat apprehensive.

This person had silently knocked down his darts; his skill was undoubtedly exceptional.

"Heh, congratulations on guessing correctly, but you’re not my match, and I don’t want to fight you." Chen Tianlong walked over slowly with a hint of disdain on his face.

He wasn’t underestimating the enemy, but rather planning to provoke them, waiting for a chance to use the Soul-Stealing Three Needles.

"Hmph, keep showing off. You’ll be begging on your knees soon enough." Although Shangguan Ba had no animosity against this person, his unexpected arrogance needed a lesson.

"Wow, I’m so scared." Chen Tianlong smirked playfully.

Seeing this, Shangguan Ba’s anger boiled over. He clenched his fist, putting all his strength into it and punched forward. The task Hao Shuai gave them was to ascend the mountain first to capture the Red-eyed Eagle, whether alive or dead, it’s irrelevant.

Thus, he wanted to quickly resolve this without wasting time.

Chen Tianlong smiled wickedly, flipped his hand, revealing three silver needles.

When Shangguan Ba noticed Chen Tianlong’s gesture, he suddenly understood something, recalling this man’s speech style, and shouted loudly: "You... Are you Chen Tianlong?"

This situation caused the two fighting individuals to pause and turn back to glance, while Lin Xiaoting by the mountain path also looked over.

"Heh, take a guess!"

As Chen Tianlong finished speaking, he swiftly flicked the three silver needles forward, executing the last move of the Soul-Stealing Three Needles—combining three needles into one.

Whizz!

They sped like lightning; fortunately, Shangguan Ba was no ordinary person, but a Celestial Dao six-star expert. He wisely didn’t rely on powerful Qi for protection, instead, he directly shifted his vital parts aside.

"Sss~"

The silver needle pierced just two centimeters from his heart.

For an advanced cultivator, missing the heart didn’t mean fatality. However, not dying didn’t mean Shangguan Ba was unharmed. Blood began to seep from Shangguan Ba’s right chest. He quickly sealed his acupoints to stop the blood flow, then crouched down, likely unable to continue fighting.

"He... he really is Chen Tianlong!" Shangguan Ba finally realized; this was the legendary Soul-Stealing Three Needles. The Technique once used by Yan Nanfei, and since Chen Tianlong was Yan Nanfei’s disciple, only he could utilize it.

Situ Feng saw this scene, hurriedly stopped fighting, darted forward, picked Shangguan Ba up, and ran down the mountain.

As for Zhou Botong, he couldn’t care about him now.
