Volume 1 Chapter 137: The Bitter Flesh Plan

  First, the stone child disrupted their senses, and then the flying knife's surprise attack left the three of them no time to spare. In that situation, with Greedy Wolf's strength, killing a top ten ranked Tian Tong was almost effortless.

  But!

  Pojun is ranked third among the fourteen warlords in 'Tianming', now it's no longer a sneak attack where one side has all the advantage, but a real face-to-face confrontation.

  In this case, Ba Jun Tian is at its peak in the middle period, and it's possible to break through to Jiu Chong Tian at any time. How can he be at a disadvantage?

  If it's said that Pojun intentionally let up, then with Tianji's eyesight, it's impossible not to see. So there's only one explanation: Gulang's dantian damage has not only been repaired, but his strength has also increased compared to before. This increase is not from internal energy cultivation, but comes from superior combat skills.

  Martial skills can be divine steps or body methods, can be the use of strength and energy techniques, and can also be exquisite and powerful moves.

  No matter what kind, as long as it can enhance combat effectiveness, even if only a little bit, it is a treasure for any warrior!

  A difference of a single hair's breadth can lead to an error of a thousand miles.

  A master's move often makes a difference of just one point, directly leading to a reversal of victory and defeat, so the secret on Lang's body must be obtained.

  Of course, Tianji was well aware of Tanlang's habits. This guy was naturally greedy and it was impossible for him to return to the organization, so he would never hand over the secret. According to the master's instructions, if he couldn't get it, he had to destroy it, in case this treasure fell into someone else's hands.

  It's obvious that with Pojun's strength alone, it's already good enough if he can avoid being killed by Greedy Wolf, let alone kill him!

  Originally, Tiān Jī wanted to let Pò Jūn have a one-on-one fight with Qín Yàn, but it seems that's not possible now. As he watched Pò Jūn retreat step by step under a fierce attack, he snorted and suddenly rose 5-6 meters into the air, kicking his leg towards a giant tree trunk as thick as several people embracing it, using the reaction force to accelerate his speed, and charging down like an eagle in pursuit.

  He is indeed a real eightfold heaven in the later period. Unlike Jiang Xue, he is in his prime, and his spirit is at its peak.

  Even if Qin Yan has 'Flowing Cloud Steps' and 'Yangguan Three Overlaps', in a one-on-one situation, he is just evenly matched with him. Adding the help of Broken Army from the side, it can be imagined.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Qin Yan and Tian Ji charged forward simultaneously, and the moment they made contact, leg shadows filled an area with a diameter of two to three meters. Mud and gravel splashed everywhere, and several thick tree trunks were snapped in half at the waist.

  In a brief moment of no more than half a breath, fists and feet collided over twenty times, with a deafening roar.

  However, neither of them used their full strength, as Qin Yan had to guard against Po Jun's attack, and Tian Ji was also on guard against Po Jun: the entire "Tian Ming" knew about the relationship between Po Jun and Tan Lang, which is also why they sent Po Jun over and used Qi Sha to coerce him into dealing with Tan Lang.

  However, the master was still uncertain that Pojun would surrender, so Tian Tong and Tian Ji accompanied him, with the purpose of monitoring and restraint.

  Today, with only Tianji left, he must be careful to prevent Pojun from turning against him.

  "Gluttonous wolf, die!"

  At the time when Qin Yan and Tian Ji were fiercely battling, with their remaining strength almost depleted, Po Jun suddenly launched a full-force attack, his figure flashing by like lightning as he swung his fist to strike.

  It's clear that Qin Yan had held back earlier, but he was still greatly affected by the Heavenly Mechanism. The key issue was that under the counterforce, it was difficult for him to control his body balance while retreating. At this moment, a surprise attack from Po Jun would be impossible to dodge. His only option was to take the hit head-on, making the situation extremely unfavorable.

  Bang!

  The two fists collided, emitting a low, muffled explosion sound. The air around the fists was forced open by the powerful internal energy, forming a small vacuum.

  Qin Yan was clearly at a disadvantage, and with a muffled hum, his body shape lost control and exploded again. At this moment, Broken Army's left hand swung forcefully.

  Whoosh!

  A dark light shot out with a speed that was too fast for the eye to see, emitting a sharp and piercing sound as it flew towards Qin Yan.

  Qin Yan first clashed head-on with Tianji, but before he could steady himself, he was again confronting Pogun. With insufficient time to build up his strength in between, and his body retreating explosively out of control, how could he still dodge?

  He exerted himself to swing the dagger, trying to brush aside the dark light, but unfortunately he couldn't mobilize his inner energy in time and could only barely make the dark light deviate from the vital spot.

  Pfft...

  The dark light flashed from the left shoulder and nailed to a tree trunk more than ten meters away, surprisingly it was a black military dagger over two feet long.

  Qin Yan spat out a blood arrow from his mouth, and his left shoulder had an egg-sized blood hole.

  "Heavenly mechanism! Are you waiting for the official power of Yan Huang to intervene?!" Broken Army coldly scolded.

  It's been a considerable amount of time since the missile was launched, if it were a plane malfunctioning and crashing, usually only rescue teams would come. However, many people saw the missile, indicating that this is an extremely severe terrorist attack. This matter will definitely be noticed by the top leaders of Yanhuang, and even mobilize secret forces. To know, ordinary terrorists are unlikely to bring such large-scale weapons into the inland areas of Yanhuang.

  Once the superior Yan Huang intervenes in the investigation, it will inevitably seal off the search for the mountain. If they are trapped in this mountainous area, it won't be easy to leave, so a quick battle is necessary.

  Tianji's heart suddenly condensed, and he couldn't help but take a deep look at Pojun, before turning to look at Qin Yan again.

  He didn't use his full strength because he was worried that Broken Army would turn the tables on him. Now it seems there's no problem, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to deal such a fatal blow to Qin Yan. Just now, Qin Yan had no remaining strength, and if not for using the dagger to deflect the military spear, that one strike would have pierced his heart. With his eyesight, it was easy to see.

  Po Jun can be trusted!

  So, no need to hold back, go all out and attack!

  Tianji finally made a decision. He was very clear that if he didn't use his full strength, it would be difficult to take down Qin Yan in a short period of time. The injury on his shoulder was only a minor injury for such a master.

  On the surface, it looked like a hole through his shoulder, but in reality, with Qin Yan's abilities, he naturally avoided bones, meridians, and blood vessels, so it had almost no effect on his combat effectiveness.

  "I'll take the lead, you assist."

  Tianji didn't hesitate this time, and a black long-handled dagger appeared in his hand. He flashed forward and killed with a pounce, knowing that only he could launch a head-on attack. The strength of the Broken Army was not enough to withstand Qin Yan's counterattack. If they launched a head-on attack and failed, they would be used as cannon fodder. This battle strategy was incorrect.

  One is a late-stage strongman of the Eight Heavens, the first of the "Fourteen Wars" of the Heavenly Mandate, and the other is a publicly recognized martial arts genius, with internal energy cultivation in the middle stage of the Eight Heavens, plus exquisite combat skills to assist, not inferior to the strength of a late-stage strongman of the Eight Heavens. This is a truly strong match between two powerful opponents.

  A deafening crash!

  The sky is falling!

  Sand and gravel flew everywhere, tree trunks snapped or split, the crackling sound never stopped.

  At this time, Po Jun had already taken down the military thorn nailed to a tree ten meters away. Taking advantage of Qin Yan and Tian Ji's all-out battle with no remaining strength, he merged into a shadowy figure and approached.

  Pfft!

  The bayonet pierced from the back of the heart into the front chest and came out, the violent internal energy shattered everything, presenting a blood hole as big as a washbasin.

  The corresponding heart has turned into a piece of minced meat, leaving only a bloody and eerie cavity, as if it was a wound that had been repeatedly pierced.

  "You... you..."

  "If he didn't hurt me, how could he possibly deceive you? If the play wasn't true enough, how could it have fooled the great and famous Tianji?"

  "I..."

  "You believe too much in what you see."

  He gently patted Tianji's shoulder, and the next moment, Tianji crashed to the ground with a gaze full of unwillingness. Qin Yan sneered: "Some things can't be seen, but they always exist. Some things don't need to be said, just one glance is enough. You died not because you're stupid, but because you didn't have this experience."

  "Hemostasis." Broken Army tossed over a small bottle, his eyes locked onto Qin Yan's left shoulder.

  "You're so confident that I can escape from an airliner? If it's really hit, even a god would die falling from 10,000 meters high."

  Qin Yan opened the bottle and sprinkled the yellowish-brown powder inside onto his shoulder, immediately a faint sizzling sound came from the wound, but he didn't even frown.

  "If you can't escape, it's your own bad luck."

  "Me too."

  Xiao Yan returned the bottle with a smile, Qin Yan smiled and knew from the few words Tian Ji had said to Po Jun before that his situation was very difficult.

  Tianji and Tiangong had been monitoring him all along, the missile bombing of the passenger plane was something he couldn't stop, he didn't have the ability to resist Tianji and Tiangong's joint hands, so at this time he could only watch Qin Yan's fate. Until Tiangong was killed by Qin Yan, leaving only Tianji alone, he and Qin Yan joined forces to put on a show, at the cost of wounding Qin Yan, making Tianji believe that Pojun would advance and fully commit to battle, creating conditions for Pojun's final blow to kill.

  Otherwise, with Tianji's strength, even if he couldn't beat the two of them together, as long as he wanted to escape, Qin Yan and Pojun wouldn't be able to stop him.

  It has to be said that the two people's tacit performance of the bitter trick was very wonderful, because from start to finish they didn't give in, and in order to prevent being discovered, they even didn't exchange eye contact.

  This is a trust, a deep-seated trust!

  Qin Yan deeply believed that Po Jun would not really kill him, and Po Jun also deeply believed that Qin Yan would not take his life. However, the risk of Po Jun's trip was very great.

  On the surface, the three of them snuck into Yanhuang to deal with Qin Yan, but in reality, everyone knew what kind of relationship the Iron Triangle, known as the "Killing Broken Wolf", was among the fourteen warlords back then. Before joining "Tianming", they were just small partners, and letting Pojun kill Tanlang was entirely Tianming's leader's intention.

  This is differentiation!

  Whether or not this time they kill the greedy wolf, their relationship will be completely broken, only in this way can the remaining Broken Army and Qi Xing in 'Tianming' absolutely obey without any hesitation.

  Of course, the leader of 'Tianming', Zǐwēi is not a fool. Precisely because he knew about the relationship between these three people, that's why he added two layers of insurance.

  The first insurance: Qi Sha, the killer of the Iron Triangle, stays at headquarters as a hostage. In other words, if Po Jun betrays, Qi Sha will be affected, forcing Po Jun to take drastic measures against Tan Lang.

  The second insurance: Even if Po Jun helps Tan Lang, he must have the ability. With the first of the 14 major warlords' Tianji plus Tiansong, even if Po Jun and Tan Lang join forces, there is no chance of winning. In this way, Po Jun wants to help Tan Lang but cannot do so, since helping or not helping will yield the same result, why sacrifice Qi Sha's life?

  "Come out!"

  Po Jun's eyes suddenly gleamed with a cold light, and the blood-stained bayonet in his hand quivered, ready to be thrown at the thicket twenty or thirty meters away, but was just in time pulled back by Qin Yan.

  Then, a pretty girl came out with a pale face, trembling and walking out, poor thing had already been scared to death by what she just saw...
