Chapter 791
by fanqienovelChapter 791: A Trap within a Trap
The experts among the bandits could no longer remain hidden.
The killing trap they had laid out had turned into a farce; if Wang Chen continued his relentless assault, it would only be a matter of time before hundreds of bandits were completely annihilated, and even the Innate Martial Artists would not escape unscathed.
The stamina of innate strong fighters in combat was truly extraordinary.
The two Innate Martial Artists encircling Wang Chen moved in perfect harmony. One brandished a long knife, slashing toward Wang Chen’s head from the left, while the other crept in from behind, lashing out with a long whip aimed at his lower body.
Dozens of crossbow arrows rained down upon Wang Chen!
Such precision and coordination were beyond the capabilities of ordinary bandits; it was more akin to the tactics of an elite military unit.
Facing the enemy’s frenzied onslaught, Wang Chen stood his ground without fear. He suddenly surged forward, effortlessly evading the pincer attack from the two Innate Martial Artists.
This maneuver also caused the volley of crossbow arrows to miss their mark entirely.
In the next instant, Wang Chen spun around abruptly, raising the Overlord Spear and thrusting it forward.
A swift counterattack!
The spear’s tip was aimed directly at the Innate Martial Artist wielding the long whip.
The opponent never anticipated Wang Chen’s retaliation to be so swift and ferocious; by the time he realized the danger, it was already too late.
Thud!
The Overlord Spear pierced through the chest of the bandit expert in an instant. The innate true energy within erupted with a mighty force, blasting a gaping hole and scattering bones and flesh in all directions.
Such devastation was beyond the endurance of even an Innate Martial Artist.
【Qi and blood +10000】
As the notification flashed before his eyes, Wang Chen blinked; a howling gale, accompanied by a blinding light, surged toward him!
The long knife expert had already closed the distance.
Simultaneously, a burly bandit with a tiger-like build appeared behind Wang Chen.
He gripped a broken stalactite column with both hands, swinging it down toward Wang Chen’s back with all his strength!
Once again, Wang Chen found himself under attack from two formidable opponents.
He pivoted to the side, using the spear to block the incoming slash from the long knife.
With his left hand, he drew the Mountain Slayer Blade and struck back!
Crack!
The heavy stalactite column shattered into two before it could even reach him, and Wang Chen leapt backward, colliding squarely with the burly bandit.
Boom!
The thickset Innate Martial Artist was sent flying as if struck by a heavy hammer, his body hurtling uncontrollably through the air.
Blood spewed from his mouth, and his ribs were undoubtedly fractured in multiple places.
This bandit, heavily muscled and robust, clearly possessed far greater strength than his peers. But against Wang Chen, who had mastered the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method, it was like flaunting a large knife in front of Guan Yu—utterly overestimating his own abilities.
The gap between their power was immense, and in their clash, the bandit naturally suffered a crushing defeat.
He crashed into a stalactite column, then tumbled to the ground, writhing in pain and unable to rise.
Wang Chen had not yet landed when he suddenly hurled the Overlord Spear!
The spear transformed into a long rainbow, instantly covering dozens of steps, striking the long knife expert.
This Innate Martial Artist had already realized the vast power difference between them when Wang Chen sent the burly bandits flying; it could not be erased by numbers or lives.
He immediately felt the urge to retreat.
However, wanting to run meant he had to see if Wang Chen would allow it!
This shot was extremely sudden, and it tapped into seventy percent of Wang Chen’s strength. Lacking any battle intent, the long knife expert could not react in time and was instantly pierced through the body.
He was nailed to the ground!
“Ah!”
His life force was strong; he did not die immediately and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Thud!
In the next moment, an arrow shot through his throat, ending his suffering.
【Qi and blood +10000】
At that moment, the surrounding bandits were all struck with fear, hastily throwing down their crossbows and escaping in all directions.
They were indeed elite among martial artists, but witnessing their leaders die one after another filled them with an overwhelming fear of death.
Run, the further the better!
Everyone wished they could grow another leg, desperate to see who could escape faster.
But at that moment, arrow after arrow came shooting in, picking off fleeing bandits one by one.
Wang Chen jumped onto a high rock, releasing arrows in rapid succession, emptying his quiver in less than ten breaths.
Over twenty bandits fell beneath his bow.
Every shot found its mark!
But since the quiver could only hold so many, Wang Chen stowed the Sunset Bow, preparing to continue the chase.
No matter their identities, in Wang Chen’s eyes, they were all just Qi and blood value.
A mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat; every kill counted!
However, just as he jumped down from the rock, a figure quietly appeared nearby.
It delivered a punch toward Wang Chen!
This punch was extremely sudden and ferociously powerful, carrying an unstoppable destructive power.
The fist glinted with a metallic sheen, potent to the extreme!
“Be careful!”
Elder Yao’s voice suddenly rang in Wang Chen’s mind.
In truth, he did not need the warning; Wang Chen had already sensed the overwhelming threat approaching.
In a split second, he abruptly turned and struck with his palm.
Bang!
The clash of fists echoed like thunder!
Wang Chen staggered back a few steps, while the attacker was momentarily halted.
Wang Chen landed on the ground and looked down at his right palm.
His palm had several wounds, oozing out dark blood!
Wang Chen’s expression remained unchanged as he looked at the attacker: “City Lord Zhao, what is the meaning of this?”
The attacker was none other than Zhao Zhenxuan, the city lord of Chibi City!
Surprise flashed in Zhao Zhenxuan’s eyes; this Innate strong fighter clearly did not expect that, even in an ambush, he failed to severely injure Wang Chen.
But he was not an ordinary person. He quickly suppressed his shock and unwillingness, chuckling as he said, “Wang Chen, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t accept it!”
As he spoke, figures surrounded them, and screams echoed all around.
The newcomers, clad in blue tunics and wielding long knives, silently executed the fleeing bandits, then encircled Wang Chen and Zhao Zhenxuan.
Each of them looked at Wang Chen with fierce eyes!
Wang Chen smirked: “City Lord Zhao has some skill!”
Like a mantis stalking a cicada while the yellow bird waits behind, unexpectedly, Zhao Zhenxuan had set a trap within a trap, first using himself against the bandits, then turning on Wang Chen, calculating everything with perfect clarity.
He sighed, “Must it really come down to you die or I live?”
“I know you want to buy time…”
Zhao Zhenxuan gleefully shook his fist and said, “Let me tell you honestly, the gloves I wear are coated with golden ring snake venom. Do you feel your arm starting to numb?”
The golden ring snake was a sixth-level fierce beast, and its venom was exceptionally potent; even an Innate strong fighter would suffer from it.
With the gloves smeared in golden ring snake venom, Zhao Zhenxuan’s ambush was indeed extremely poisonous.
“Is that so?”
Wang Chen raised his hand again to inspect.
He saw that the wounds on his palm had stopped bleeding, and they were healing at an observable rate, the dark skin returning to its natural color.
“Is this all?”
