Wang Yuanxian paused for a moment, then looked towards the horizon and replied, "It's hard to say..."
Everyone fell silent, no longer speaking, and they quietly continued walking forward.
After half a day, they gradually moved out of the range controlled by Long City and entered the waters near Zhongzhou. Zhang Tailai spoke up, "From this moment on, we must be even more cautious. Many assassins do not dare to act recklessly within Long City, but they may lie in wait here. You four must always keep a close watch on this senior and cannot stray more than three feet away from him!"
Wang Yuanxian glanced at Zhang Tailai and chuckled lightly.
However, even though everyone began to feel tense and heightened their defenses, the journey ahead did not present any assassination attempts; instead, it remained calm and uneventful.
At this point, they could see the distant sea, with mist gradually filling the air. Wang Long felt relieved; once they reached the seaside, there would be designated personnel to receive them, marking that this task of protecting the envoy was more than halfway done.
"Well, it doesn't seem that dangerous after all. This so-called envoy might not be that important!" Wang Long thought to himself as he walked step by step toward the shore.
However, after walking for a while, the seemingly close ocean still felt far away; only the mist grew thicker and his body became increasingly fatigued...
"Hmm? Something's not right! Could it be..." He suddenly recalled the Shen Walking Dragon Technique and Illusionary Sea Technique that Zhang Tailai had demonstrated to him; it must be something like that!
"Wake up!" A sudden chill swept through his mind, causing Wang Long to shudder and instantly break free from the illusion.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he looked around and saw Liu Chengyan and Li Xinghe also appearing dazed and confused, clearly having fallen into the same trap as himself.
However, the mysterious girl Jiang Xue remained calm and composed, observing her surroundings without showing any signs of being affected by Zhang Tailai's Shen Walking Dragon Technique!
"Could it be that Jiang Xue is proficient in Shen Walking Dragon Technique?" Wang Long thought silently.
Zhang Tailai woke a few people up and steadily scanned their surroundings as if searching for traces of an enemy.
"To see through my Illusionary Sea Technique so quickly? Who exactly are you?!" Suddenly, a voice seemed to come from all directions—sharp and piercing—making it difficult to determine its source.
"Long City, Zhang Tailai."
"Oh, so it's the one known as the first under the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons in Long City? Truly impressive! However, just you alone against us brothers will likely lead to your downfall!"
As soon as the words fell, nineteen figures suddenly appeared from above and below!
Each of these nineteen individuals was dressed in black, with long hair cascading down their shoulders. On the chest of their upper garments was embroidered a spiraling black dragon, which blended in with the color of their clothing, making it difficult to see clearly unless one looked closely.
"So it's the Black Dragon Nineteen Guards! Black Serpent Island actually dares to send you here to die; you must be prepared to fight to the death!" Zhang Tailai said calmly, seemingly not taking his opponents seriously at all.
The leader of the black-clad figures spat disdainfully and coldly commanded, "Since you know the name of my Black Dragon Nineteen Guards, you should obediently hand over that old man. For the sake of Long City, I will spare you and these few kids! Otherwise, heh heh!"
These nineteen guards had been renowned for many years and were indeed the elite force of Black Serpent Island, especially skilled in encirclement. Their sudden appearance had completely surrounded Zhang Tailai, Wang Long, and the other three along with Wang Yuanxian, waiting for a command to launch an immediate attack!
"Go ahead and laugh; after all, you won't have many more chances to do so..." Zhang Tailai said in a deep voice. Suddenly, he moved, transforming into the sharpest and swiftest bolt of lightning aimed at the leader of the Black Dragon Guards!
However, the leader was already on guard. In an instant, he unleashed Dragon Arts, enveloping himself in a thick black mist that seemed like heavy ink wrapping around his entire body. Zhang Tailai's incredibly swift thrust only pierced through this ink-like barrier without injuring him.
"Swear to protect the Lingzhi Envoy! Do not leave his side!" Zhang Tailai reminded amidst the fierce battle. At that moment, the remaining eighteen guards simultaneously charged towards Wang Long and the others!
This was Wang Long's first life-and-death struggle!
During his duel with Li Xinghe that day, he had known he would die and felt no particular sentiment about it. However, at this moment, there was no room for leniency; losing meant death!
Three icy-cold and razor-sharp daggers were thrust directly at him!
Wang Long had nowhere to evade. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "You Long!"
He shifted his foot and tilted his head to dodge while simultaneously launching a Thunderclap Sky Splitter without hesitation!
The combination of You Long Fist and Thunderclap Sky Splitter had been honed through days of hard practice, allowing Wang Long to master them perfectly. At this moment, he executed them effortlessly without any hindrance.
The three attackers surrounding Wang Long gasped lightly upon seeing the might of Thunderclap Sky Splitter; it seemed as if thunder rumbled within its force. They did not dare underestimate it and raised their arms to evade.
Wang Long seized the opportunity; knowing that offense was the best defense, he immediately pursued with his palm strike. Like a bolt of lightning, it traced an unusual arc as it slashed toward the nearest black-clad figure!
That person performed a strange flip in mid-air and narrowly avoided the attack. However, this maneuver temporarily relieved him from being attacked from that direction.
Wang Long took a moment to look around, only to see that Li Xinghe and Liu Chengyan had already engaged with the enemies from both sides. Liu Chengyan moved like the wind, his punches fierce and unrestrained, completely contrasting his usual laid-back demeanor as he faced three opponents without losing ground.
Li Xinghe was even more impressive; his fists struck out with the right punch blazing like a brilliant sun and the left punch cold as the Cold Moon, creating an impenetrable defense that left five or six enemies in disarray.
However, what surprised Wang Long the most was Jiang Xue. She stood alone against six or seven enemies, yet those foes dared not approach her easily, seemingly intimidated by her presence.
Wang Long thought to himself that these people must have assessed their strengths accordingly. He and Liu Chengyan were relatively weaker, so they were assigned three opponents each to break through their defenses, while Li Xinghe faced five. As for Jiang Xue… she was facing seven enemies alone, and yet her opponents hesitated to act against her, clearly wary of her abilities!
At that moment, he had no time for further contemplation as the three enemies he had pushed back charged at him again.
Wang Long sneered coldly, realizing how underestimated he was. If he did not achieve something noteworthy, how could he earn the respect of others? How could he fulfill his father's great expectations?!
"Thunderfire Sky-Splitting Sword!"
This was Wang Long's unique technique, a combination of Dragon Techniques that he had created himself: the Thunderfire Sky-Splitting Sword!
With a low roar, Wang Long charged forward first, slowly gathering a bolt of thunder in his palm. It resembled the sharpest and most radiant sword in existence. By condensing Thunder Dragon Qi in his palm and shaping it into a sword form, he unleashed the Dragon Technique Thunderclap Sky Splitter, which truly possessed boundless power and was fiercely unstoppable!
