Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Yang Fei Arrives
Wang Chengcuo was stunned by Tong Yan’s remark, his mouth gaping open, unable to utter a word for a long time.
He was somewhat infuriated and looked at Tong Yan, saying, "That move from the Great Yellow Court just now was indeed quite miraculous. Let me experience it myself."
Tong Yan snorted and said, "Then today, I shall battle an Innate Realm powerhouse and see whether it’s truly impossible to affect the Innate Realm before crossing this grand gap."
Wang Chengcuo scoffed, "Below Innate, all are mere ants. Although you possess unique combat power and have achieved some success in the Great Yellow Court, fighting me is still an overestimation of your abilities."
Tong Yan’s spirit soared as he shouted, "Whether I’m overestimating myself, we’ll know after we fight. So, how will it be? Will the four of you come at me together, or shall I first experience your methods, Wang Chengcuo?"
Wang Chengcuo smiled faintly and said, "You need not provoke me with such words. Since I have made my move, the other three merely need to stand by and watch. Come on, Tong Yan, I have other matters to attend to. Don’t dawdle. In the Binhai Martial World today, no one can save you, and delaying won’t help."
Tong Yan had no hope that someone would come to his aid today. He originally thought he might escape, but with a powerhouse like Wang Chengcuo personally entering the fray to hunt him down, he knew today was more likely fatal than not.
His resolve was set on dying, and before death, he wanted to test just how strong the combat power of the Innate Realm was. For a martial artist like him, it was a way to die without regrets.
"Hehe, even though I’m destined to die today, I, Tong Yan, won’t drag out the time with whispers. Wang Chengcuo, make your move!" Tong Yan’s expression became solemn as he stared at Wang Chengcuo.
Wang Chengcuo stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor that of a superior, shaking his head and saying, "If I make the first move, you won’t stand a chance. You go ahead."
Knowing well there was a gap between himself and this Innate Realm opponent, Tong Yan didn’t presume and said solemnly, "In that case, I will not hold back!"
As the last syllable dropped, his figure vanished on the spot like a specter.
He pushed his speed to the limit.
Not only that, as his figure disappeared, an intimidating pressure spread out in the void, causing hearts to tremble.
Chai Song, sensitive to such pressure, exclaimed, "Great Yellow Court!"
Jiang Yuanshuo and Guman Zhao were equally moved, the latter in surprise said, "It seems even stronger than the move he used against Brother Chai before."
Chai Song’s mouth twitched.
Jiang Yuanshuo was also secretly shocked, saying, "He wasn’t boasting earlier. With his combat power, even if facing the three of us, taking one of us down with him wouldn’t be a problem."
Chai Song and Guman Zhao nodded secretly.
As martial artists of the Unique Tier, they naturally didn’t easily admire others of the same realm, but today, having witnessed Tong Yan’s combat capabilities, they sincerely admired him.
This man was merely a Unique Tier combatant. If he could also step into the Innate Realm, he would undoubtedly secure a place among the National Guardian level powerhouses.
Boom!
A loud noise resounded, and Wang Chengcuo was sent flying back several meters.
Tong Yan was also knocked back.
His complexion turned from the initial flush to pale white.
With just one move, he had seen the gap between himself and Wang Chengcuo, so he knew he had to escape.
The previous strike with the Great Yellow Court was his fullest and strongest blow, yet it was caught by Wang Chengcuo.
Though Wang Chengcuo was also thrown back, Tong Yan’s condition was no longer sufficient to continue the fight. Thus, he had already planned his escape.
After pushing Wang Chengcuo back with one move, he seized the opportunity to escape and turned without hesitation, running towards Chai Song and the others.
Despite the instability and significant drain on his internal energy, he unleashed an aura and killing intent not the slightest bit weaker than before, roaring, "Who blocks me, I’ll take with me!"
A spirit of trading life for life!
Indeed, after seeing his move with the Great Yellow Court, Chai Song and the others had already developed a fear of him. Now, seeing him even send Wang Chengcuo flying, they were even more shocked by the actual power of Tong Yan’s move.
At that moment, as they saw him charging over, the three of them intended to intercept him, but hearing Tong Yan’s roar filled with rage and feeling his relentless, desperate determination, they were suddenly afraid.
No one wanted to be the unlucky one taken away by Tong Yan in exchange.
During that moment of hesitation, Tong Yan dashed through the gap.
"Hmph!"
Wang Chengcuo’s face turned ashen as he swiftly gave chase.
As he passed Chai Song and the others, he let out a cold snort, loaded with disdain.
It was like a harsh slap across the faces of the three men.
Chai Song and the others exchanged looks, their heads dropping in shame, but they were also thoroughly infuriated.
If they let Tong Yan live, the three of them would lose all face in the future.
Frightened by Tong Yan into not striking, how could they hold their heads up in the Divine Continent Martial World if this got out?
At this moment, the three of them felt deep regret and frustration, and a fierce killing intent flashed in their eyes as they followed Wang Chengcuo in pursuit of Tong Yan’s fleeing figure.
Although Tong Yan was fleeing, Wang Chengcuo’s speed in catching up was too fast.
The distance between them was initially not far, and Tong Yan had also engaged in a fight with Jiang Yuanshuo and the others for a while, having used the highly exhausting moves of the Great Yellow Court twice, leaving him somewhat weakened.
On the other hand, Wang Chengcuo was at his peak, and his strength was already a notch stronger. During the chase, the distance between them was noticeably closing.
Tong Yan’s heart raced with alarm.
Although he was prepared to die, even an ant clings to life, let alone a human.
Seeing Wang Chengcuo relentlessly pursuing him, he was secretly anxious, thinking hard about a strategy.
Soon, the five high-level experts who could leap over ten meters in a single bound had left the Tong family’s ancient residence far behind, entering the dense forests of the mountains behind.
Before long, sounds of fighting echoed from within the forest.
Obviously, Tong Yan had been caught up by Wang Chengcuo, fighting as he fled.
In front of the Tong family’s ancient residence, as Tong Yunshu and the others could no longer see Tong Yan, they listened to the intermittent sounds of combat from afar, each feeling terrified and anxious, unsure of what to do.
Although the Tong family had many who practiced martial arts, including a few Inner Strength Martial Artists, under today’s circumstances, they stood no chance of intervening. The mere aftershocks of those fighters could kill them; they couldn’t even get close to the battlefield.
After a while, the sounds of combat continued to emanate from that dense forest, occasionally accompanied by the thunderous collapse of a large tree.
Tong Yunshu was anxious, frequently glancing at her phone yet restraining herself from calling Yang Fei.
After some thought, disregarding the opposition of other Tong family members, she ran towards the forest where the battle was taking place.
Even if Third Grandpa were to die here today, she wanted to be there as soon as possible to collect his body and see him off.
Seeing her, a woman with such bravery venturing to check out the scene, some men with greater courage also felt a surge of blood heat and, sizing each other up, followed her.
Meanwhile, motivated by Yang Fei’s 10,000 yuan ’incentive,’ the taxi driver turned this new-energy cab into a performance car on a racetrack, speeding all the way and cutting the travel time by a full ten minutes or so.
After getting out of the car, Yang Fei immediately saw the damaged rooftops of several Tong family wooden buildings and witnessed many scenes of Tong family parents and children worrying and crying.
He suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his heart because he did not see Tong Yunshu among the crowd.
Just as he was about to ask, a dull thud came from the distant mountains.
His heart stirred, and he rushed towards that direction.
