Both Zhang Shan and Qinglong were completely baffled by Qiao Jiajin’s strange operation, but Qiao Jiajin didn’t care at all and walked forward.
As he passed by Qinglong’s side, he smiled and waved at him: “Little Green, don’t get too worked up. We’re going to kill Heavenly-Dragon.”
“Wait… hold on…” Zhang Shan hurriedly ran forward. Under Qinglong’s extremely cautious gaze, he and Qiao Jiajin slowly walked up the steps to Heavenly-Dragon’s throne.
Qinglong squinted his eyes, watching the two men’s backs, not knowing what they were planning.
Although after the brief exchange, he could see that these two were reckless brutes without much strategy, could they really have been intimidated by his “Shocking Thunder” and temporarily changed their minds?
But the aura on their bodies…
Watching the two gradually approach Heavenly-Dragon, Qinglong instantly felt something was wrong: “Wait…”
As his words fell, Qiao Jiajin pulled Zhang Shan along and they broke into a run.
Qinglong was about to fly forward, but with some misgivings, he stopped in place.
Qiao Jiajin and Zhang Shan ran to the side of Heavenly-Dragon’s throne, standing on his left and right sides respectively, then both turned around.
“Little Green!” Qiao Jiajin stood beside Heavenly-Dragon and shouted loudly. “I’ve changed my mind now! What are you going to do about it?”
Qinglong’s expression instantly darkened at this moment. After all, sooner or later these two would discover—that he had been fighting in this room all along while carrying an enormous burden.
“Go ahead and strike! Include Little Red, and the four of us can die together.” Qiao Jiajin said with a completely unconcerned expression. “Anyway, I can’t dodge it, so let’s all take it together.”
Qinglong stared at the two and stopped his movements, but the dark clouds above his head did not dissipate and continued to gather there.
“You’re really something, Tattoo Boy…” Zhang Shan laughed. “But what should we do next?”
“‘Terminator’…?” Zhang Shan nodded. “Lightning strikes and self-healing—seems even more powerful than the ‘Terminator.'”
The three could only stand in place without making any obvious moves. No one had any way to act.
As long as Qiao Jiajin and Zhang Shan left their positions, they would suffer a fatal attack. And Qinglong also knew these two wouldn’t attack Heavenly-Dragon. The situation had fallen into a dilemma for the moment.
“But if we keep dragging this out… you’re the ones who will fail.” Qinglong said. “Do you really want to just wait like this forever?”
Qiao Jiajin nodded: “Little Green, although we’ll lose if we keep waiting, you can’t win either, right? In a situation where neither side can win, it just depends on who’s more patient.”
Qinglong was indeed irritated by these two. Right now was probably the highest-probability opportunity to successfully kill Heavenly-Dragon.
Once he missed this chance… would he have to wait another few decades?
Even if these two didn’t attack Heavenly-Dragon, as long as he could kill both of them, then use that method to temporarily disconnect the “Twin Flowers” on his body, he could still personally kill Heavenly-Dragon.
After accomplishing this, he could pin Heavenly-Dragon’s death on these two… and everything would become reasonable.
This stratagem could deceive his own “Conviction,” and could also deceive all the “Heavenly Levels” and “Earth Levels.”
This was the optimal solution Qinglong could currently think of, but personally killing Heavenly-Dragon required a large amount of time, so he had to deal with these two immediately.
Qinglong’s thoughts stirred slightly, and his pair of eyes flashed with a pale green light at this moment. Qiao Jiajin knew things were bad and immediately spoke: “Hey! Qinglong… don’t cheat!”
Qinglong showed no expression. A white radiance flashed across his body, but those eyes remained emerald green.
Qiao Jiajin paused, feeling this statement was somewhat unreliable, and hurriedly added: “Qinglong, you’re not permitted to do anything.”
But these words didn’t cause any ripples. No other light appeared on Qinglong’s body, as if it was the same as before—the effect of “Breaking Ten Thousand Laws” on him had stopped there.
“Too bad… you still haven’t learned your lesson…” Qinglong gave a light laugh, then slowly walked forward.
Both Qiao Jiajin and Zhang Shan frowned at the same time, and their legs unconsciously began to move, step by step shifting toward the bottom of the stairs.
The distance between the two sides rapidly closed in a short time.
“Heavenly-Dragon doesn’t have ‘Heaven’s Vigorous Movement’ on him.” Qinglong showed a smile and said, “This time, don’t let the ‘Shocking Thunder’ strike him. Only strike the three of us, okay?”
After hearing this, the two men’s eyes slowly widened, but they couldn’t resist the overwhelming force of “Soul-Snatching” at all.
Before long, the three met at the base of the steps, and the dark clouds in the sky now hung directly above the three of them.
Electric arcs flickered within the dark clouds. If this strike fell straight down, they would have to rely solely on Zhang Shan’s “Heaven’s Vigorous Movement” to withstand it.
They should have realized this problem long ago—once Qinglong began to display his “Immortal Techniques,” this battle would quickly come to a conclusion.
Even if the two carried “Heaven’s Vigorous Movement,” “Breaking Ten Thousand Laws,” and “Twin Flowers,” in the end they could only attack Qinglong with their own fists, but Qinglong’s methods went far beyond this.
Qiao Jiajin clenched his teeth and tried to move his limbs, discovering that every organ in his body no longer belonged to him. He felt like a remote-controlled doll containing a human brain—he could only think, but couldn’t act according to his own will.
To ensure the two couldn’t escape, Qinglong would certainly carry “Soul-Snatching” through to the end. Until the “Shocking Thunder” fell, he wouldn’t possibly release it.
What mattered now was whose “Heaven’s Vigorous Movement” could recover faster—just like two boxers who have both been knocked down, where the first to stand up is considered the winner. It was clearly a contest of “Conviction.”
Qiao Jiajin moved his eyeballs, using his peripheral vision to glance at Zhang Shan. He naturally knew that Zhang Shan’s mastery of “Heaven’s Vigorous Movement” was slightly inferior to Qinglong’s… In this situation, trying to rapidly restore two bodies would be a bit too difficult.
“Big Guy, can you withstand it?” Qiao Jiajin said. “Lightning looks really powerful.”
“Never withstood it before.” Zhang Shan said carelessly. “If I withstand it, I can go out and brag about it. If I can’t withstand it, then I’ll just die.”
“Cheer up a bit, Big Guy.” Qiao Jiajin racked his brains to encourage Zhang Shan. “You said you’re very resistant to attacks!”
Zhang Shan’s eyeballs shifted upward, looking at the dark clouds in the sky: “You… call this thing a ‘strike’?”
“Just consider it as such.” Qiao Jiajin said. “How is striking not striking? How is hitting not hitting?”
Qinglong’s gaze turned cold. Then he extended his hand toward the sky. The thunderclouds in the sky surged wildly at this moment as if activated.
“Come on… let me see whose ‘Heaven’s Vigorous Movement’ is stronger…”
Qinglong slowly grinned. The thunder in the sky also blazed with light at this moment.
Qiao Jiajin and Zhang Shan desperately tried to move their limbs, but they still couldn’t control their bodies.
The intense aura of death came crashing down at this moment.
Just as the “Shocking Thunder” was about to strike, a woman’s voice inexplicably flashed through Qinglong’s mind:
“Qinglong, wait for me.”
A single sentence flashed through his mind. His “Conviction” instantly fell into great chaos, and the “Soul-Snatching” pressing down on the two actually disappeared for an instant at this moment.
Both Zhang Shan and Qiao Jiajin were experts. They decisively seized this instant’s gap before the thunder struck the ground. When the enormous sound rang out, they both jumped to the left and right sides.
But this “Soul-Snatching” was withdrawn slightly too late. The two men’s legs were instantly scorched to charcoal by the blazing thunder at this moment, and Qinglong was also struck throughout his entire body.
