The three black-clad figures charging forward suddenly froze. The long sword in Wang Long's hand, forged from Thunderlight, was so dazzling that it startled these seasoned guards who had fought for years.
Wang Long did not hesitate to take advantage of their momentary pause. With a furious roar, he thrust the sword forward, unleashing a streak of blinding light that sliced toward the three black-clad men!
Uncertain of the sword's true power, they dared not easily attempt to block such a deadly weapon. They quickly retreated to avoid the attack, but Wang Long seized the opportunity to pursue them relentlessly. The Thunderlight Sword danced like a whip, arcs of electric light surged forth, creating crackling sounds as it split the air!
The Thunderlight Sword cut through the air with a sizzling sound. Seeing such power, the three black-clad figures dared not approach! They continuously dodged, and before long, they had retreated beyond ten feet.
Wang Long was well aware that his Dragon Vein only allowed him to channel three paths of Dragon Qi and could not sustain such intense energy for long. He needed to end this quickly and contemplated his next move.
The three men clearly realized this as well. Although they kept dodging, they did not completely escape the range of Wang Long's sword light, luring him into constant attacks that drained his Dragon Qi.
These three black-clad fighters were seasoned veterans and quickly assessed that Wang Long's Thunderfire Sword had an effective range of only three feet. They skillfully stayed just outside that distance.
This strategy ensured they would not be harmed while making Wang Long feel perpetually close yet unable to catch them.
Once again, Wang Long swung through the air, but after the sizzling sound, he failed to even graze their clothing. Breathing heavily, he paused momentarily.
The three exchanged glances, each harboring a cold smile as they prepared to counterattack at any moment!
"Ah!"
Wang Long suddenly roared again and swung his sword once more, but once again missed!
The three noticed his strength waning and exchanged knowing looks before simultaneously launching their own attacks, their blades slicing through the air with whistling sounds!
Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Wang Long's lips; a glint flashed in his eyes as the Thunderlight Sword in his hand unexpectedly lengthened, instantly growing to six feet!
"Not good, retreat!"
"Too late!" Wang Long shouted angrily as he swung his sword violently through the sky, cutting through the waists of the three bewildered attackers. A continuous sizzling sound echoed as they stood frozen for a moment.
Then in the next instant, blood gushed forth violently as the bodies of the three black-clad figures split in two! They fell straight down, lifeless and utterly defeated!
Wang Long finally breathed a sigh of relief as he retracted the Thunderfire Sword, but he also felt a wave of emptiness within him.
Although he had tricked his opponent into misjudging the range of his Thunderfire Sword and had successfully defeated them while they were off guard, at this moment, Wang Long had indeed exhausted seventy to eighty percent of his Dragon Qi and was completely worn out.
Looking back at the battlefield, without his protection on one side, the remaining dozen or so black-clad figures had already surrounded Wang Yuanxian in the center. Li Xinghe, Liu Chengyan, and the mysterious Jiang Xue were struggling to fight back.
As he returned to the battlefield, ready to assist the three, a figure suddenly descended from the sky as if appearing out of thin air, reaching directly for the encircled Wang Yuanxian!
"This is bad!"
Wang Long's heart raced as he realized that among the so-called Black Dragon Nineteen Guards, there were actually twenty people! One had been secretly hiding nearby, waiting for the right moment to strike!
"Be careful!" In this critical moment, Wang Long reached out and pulled Wang Yuanxian out of the encirclement, using You Long Step to dash away several dozen feet in an instant!
The other three wanted to help, but they were surrounded by a group of black-clad figures and couldn't free their hands at all!
"Wang Long, be careful!" Liu Chengyan, who had a closer relationship with Wang Long, couldn't help but shout a warning.
At this moment, Wang Long felt helpless; four or five black-clad figures were pursuing him relentlessly. Even if he wanted to return and regroup with everyone, it was impossible!
While dodging with You Long Step and occasionally using Thunderclap Sky Splitter to fend off attacks, he gradually felt overwhelmed due to his weakened state.
"You go ahead; I'll hold them off for a while. We'll regroup in a moment!" Wang Long shouted to Wang Yuanxian.
The scruffy old man didn't hesitate at all; he agreed and immediately took off running. Before long, he had disappeared far into the distance.
Wang Long blocked one black-clad figure trying to fly past him in pursuit of Wang Yuanxian. He suddenly twisted his body and kicked out, sending another black-clad figure tumbling.
He could see that these Black Guards were mostly individuals who had broken through two or even three Dragon Veins. However, the Dragon Techniques from Black Serpent Island could not compare with the orthodox Martial Arts from Dragon City. Therefore, with the elite disciples like Wang Long on their level, one person could still manage against several opponents.
However, at this moment, Wang Long had already fought fiercely against three Black Guards and was unlikely to muster enough strength to continue fighting effectively.
Looking back, he saw that Wang Yuanxian was running very fast; he could only vaguely see a silhouette now. Wang Long sighed in relief and suddenly let out a low roar as another Thunderfire Sword appeared in his hand!
A few men in black felt a chill in their hearts. They had just witnessed Wang Long use the Thunderlight Sword to kill three Black Guards, and they naturally did not dare to underestimate him.
"Ha!"
With a swing of his sword, Wang Long cut through the air, producing a hissing sound as electric sparks danced around it, looking formidable and sharp!
The three men in black immediately stepped back a distance of ten feet. Last time, Wang Long had suddenly extended his sword light to six feet; who knew how far he had progressed in his training? If he had hidden strength, wouldn't that mean they would die unjustly?!
Thinking this way made them retreat far away, and for a moment, they did not dare to pursue.
Wang Long, however, chuckled lightly and instantly performed the You Long Step, moving faster and faster towards Wang Yuanxian. He quickly left the three pursuers behind.
However, finding Wang Yuanxian took him quite some effort. This seemingly disheveled old man was surprisingly fast and well-hidden, making Wang Long both amused and exasperated.
After running for a while, Wang Long finally spotted him at the foot of a small hill.
"You've run quite far!" Wang Long laughed.
"When gods fight, mortals suffer. I don’t know Dragon Techniques; if I don’t run far away, what if I get caught in the crossfire?! An old man like me only has one life!" Wang Yuanxian said without any shame.
Wang Long shook his head helplessly and sat down beside Wang Yuanxian.
"You brat, you still have the leisure to relax here? Aren't you afraid someone will come after you? Aren't you worried about your companions being killed? Aren't you afraid that Zhang Tailai won't be able to handle the enemies?!"
"I know those people; there won't be any problems..." Wang Long replied confidently with a smile.
Wang Yuanxian smiled slightly. "You still have some conscience. At that critical moment, you saved me and ran so far while protecting me. Don’t you know their target is me? They will definitely send people to pursue me!"
Wang Long grinned and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"What is truth and what is a lie?" Wang Yuanxian asked with some confusion.
"A lie would be that you are our protected target. For the sake of my own reputation and that of the village, I naturally cannot abandon you..." Wang Long said leisurely.
"What about the truth?"
"The truth is... I think it might be safer to follow you," Wang Long glanced at Wang Yuanxian and chuckled lightly.
Wang Yuanxian's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled and said, "Oh, why do you think so?"
"First, when you first saw me, you looked at me deeply as if you had seen something extraordinary, and there was a hint of surprise in your eyes; this indicates that you are definitely not an ordinary person and are quite secretive. Second, when you introduced yourself, Elder Zhang Tailai turned to look at you as if he had heard your name before, but he didn't reveal anything."
"Third, your concern and feelings for Dragon City far exceed those of an ordinary envoy from a vassal state. If I'm not mistaken, you are actually from the Wang Family of Dragon City, right? Fourth, when the Black Dragon Nineteen Guards came to surround us, if you truly had no skills in Dragon Arts, how could you remain so calm? I have never seen you make a sound from beginning to end..."
Wang Long smiled and continued, "Of course, the most important point... Elder Zhang Tailai has always instructed us to closely guard you and not leave your side by even three feet. It seems to be for the sake of the mission and to ensure the envoy's safety, but in reality, it is to protect our own safety!"
"You clearly understand his intentions and smiled when he kept emphasizing this point, which further confirmed my thoughts."
Wang Long looked at Wang Yuanxian, this scruffy old man with a stubbly beard, and slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a person of very high status and cultivation in Dragon City. This time you're pretending to be a Lingzhi envoy to resolve the disputes between the two islands, right?!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanxian laughed heartily and clapped his hands, saying, "Good good good! You really make sense. However... I will not admit anything; I won't say you're wrong nor will I say you're right. But there is one thing I must tell you: I don't care about Black Serpent Island at all, but your life and death are very much related to me!"
