Lion’s Roar.

This is Chen Tang’s most effective combat technique for killing enemies above his level, even dealing with Mystic Masters.

However, the four of them were currently surrounding the Celestial Concealment, and the distance between them was extremely close.

Once the Lion’s Roar is unleashed, the impact that Shen Zhiyuan and the other two might suffer could be greater than that of the Celestial Concealment!

After all, their cultivation realm is not as high as this person’s.

If he shouts, the Celestial Concealment would be the first to recover, and Shen Zhiyuan and the others would face danger instead.

The two sides tangled again for a moment, and Chen Tang’s ears twitched, vaguely hearing a faint breathing sound outside the temple, and his heart sank.

Someone else is here!

Whether the newcomer is friend or foe remains unknown.

The battle must be resolved quickly. Otherwise, if this person joins the fight, they will have no chance at all!

With this thought in mind, Chen Tang suddenly called out softly: "Brother Shen, gather your qi and cover your ears!"

These words were inexplicable, and others naturally did not understand their meaning.

"Roar!"

The next moment, Chen Tang let out a long howl, erupting into a deafening roar. The sound waves rolled like a thunderous explosion, instantly creating an invisible airwave on the battlefield!

The Celestial Concealment did not recognize Chen Tang, nor knew his methods, and was caught off guard by the impact, trembling all over.

Opportunity!

Chen Tang’s eyes lit up, and in the Divine Illumination state, he used the technique of the Burning Wood Saber, slashing towards the person’s throat!

Shen Zhiyuan, Su Li, and Ah Li had prepared in advance and were hardly affected.

The three took this opportunity to attack one after another.

Just as the Autumn Water Sword was about to slash at the Celestial Concealment’s throat, the person’s eyes instantly cleared, almost in an instant, they had already awakened!

Clang!

The sound of weapons clashing rang out.

The Celestial Concealment drew his sword, intercepting Chen Tang’s Autumn Water Sword with immense strength, deflecting it away.

At the same time, he kicked twice with both feet, kicking the side of Ah Li’s dagger, and Innate True Qi erupted.

Ah Li couldn’t withstand it, her tiger’s mouth tore, and she took half a step back.

But she remained silent.

This person, worthy of being an Innate Martial Artist, quickly recovered from the impact of the Lion’s Roar, and could still block Chen Tang’s sword and Ah Li’s assassination.

His choice was also considered perfect.

Chen Tang and Ah Li posed the greatest threat to him!

After blocking Chen Tang and Ah Li’s attacks, he utilized the Floating Light and Shadow body technique, once again dodging Shen Zhiyuan’s sword.

After successively neutralizing Chen Tang and the others’ offensives, this person’s moves were exhausted, and he could no longer evade Su Li’s hidden weapons. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Whoosh!

Several poison-tipped silver needles pierced into the person’s arm!

The Celestial Concealment endured the hit expressionlessly as Innate True Qi burst forth, and the silver needles were instantly expelled, as his figure turned into a shadow, swiftly dashing outside the temple.

As the person reached the temple entrance, a figure suddenly flashed past.

"Kill!"

The newcomer shouted, raising his hand to slash horizontally!

At the critical moment, the Celestial Concealment’s body twisted and flipped in mid-air, evading the blade, brushing past the newcomer as the shadow vanished into the forest, disappearing without a trace.

Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone couldn’t help but show joy.

The person turned out to be Assistant General Song Wu of the Northern Expedition Army!

However, he was not wearing a Northern Expedition Army armor at the moment but rather casual clothes, holding a long saber in his hand.

A trace of blood was left in mid-air at the temple entrance.

Although Song Wu’s strike didn’t kill the Celestial Concealment, it still injured him!

"I’ll give chase!"

Song Wu didn’t greet Chen Tang and the others, but merely shouted lowly before chasing after him with his saber.

Ah Li’s figure flickered, her toes tapping the ground, and she followed suit, disappearing into the forest with a few leaps.

Chen Tang originally intended to chase as well, but his mind turned, remembering Mo Ming was still in the temple, so he stayed behind.

If he chased too, only Shen Zhiyuan and Su Li would be left to protect Mo Ming in the temple, making it easy for someone to exploit the situation.

"Are you all alright?"

Chen Tang asked.

"I’m fine."

Shen Zhiyuan and Su Li both nodded.

They had not faced the Celestial Concealment directly just now; it was mostly Chen Tang and Ah Li engaging him head-on.

Now that the strong enemy had left, with their spirits relaxing, Chen Tang suddenly felt nauseated, his throat tasted salty, and he couldn’t help but cough up blood.

"Brother Chen!"

Shen Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped forward.

"It’s nothing."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "Innate True Qi is indeed domineering; I suffered some internal injuries, but it’s not a big deal."

Earlier, he had forcibly received several of the Celestial Concealment’s strikes and endured the impact of Innate True Qi.

Fortunately, with the advantage of the Autumn Water Sword and his horizontal body training, the inner strength of his viscera was more robust than that of an Inner Qi Martial Artist.

Otherwise, he could not have held on.

"Brother Chen, here’s medicine for treating internal injuries. Take it quickly."

Su Li hurriedly stepped forward and poured out a jujube-sized, scarlet red pill from the Jade Bottle.

Chen Tang took it and swallowed it in one gulp.

The pill slowly dissolved in his stomach, spreading warmth, nurturing his five viscera and six bowels, providing great comfort.

Chen Tang asked, "Miss Su, how powerful is the poison on your silver needles?"

"It’s effective against ordinary martial artists, but for an Innate Martial Artist, it might not be enough."

Su Li shook her head, saying, "Innate Martial Artists have already cultivated Innate True Qi. As long as you give him some time, with the power of Innate True Qi, he can expel the poison from the silver needles, which is not difficult."

At this moment, Song Wu and Ah Li had returned from outside.

"How did it go?"

Chen Tang asked.

Song Wu shook his head, saying, "This person’s body technique is ghostly, coupled with the complex terrain in the forest, offering many hiding spots. I couldn’t catch up."

Song Wu is most skilled at tracking, and Ah Li is familiar with the hermit’s body technique and hiding arts.

Even with the two of them working together, they couldn’t catch the person. It would make no difference if Chen Tang went too.

Indeed worthy of being a Celestial Concealment, even after being injured, he could escape this place. Truly formidable!

Chen Tang secretly felt shocked.

In the battle just now, they had used all their strength and bottom cards, yet they couldn’t keep this person.

The gap between them and an Innate Martial Artist was too great!

Moreover, this Celestial Concealment was better at assassination and not good at head-on confrontation.

If a top Innate Martial Artist had come, even if they joined forces, it would still be a sure-death situation!

"What happened with you guys?"

Song Wu asked.

Shen Zhiyuan recounted their experiences over the past few days roughly.

"Why are you here, and dressed in civilian clothes?"

Shen Zhiyuan asked, "Are you on another mission?"

"No."

Song Wu said, "In half a month, the master’s seventieth birthday is coming up, so I planned to go back and see him, and asked General Liu for a month’s leave. I thought you were recovering at the Medical Hidden Hall, so I came to check on you."

"As soon as I arrived in Nanyang City, I heard about the Medical Hidden Hall being attacked by poisonous insects and Thunder Hall rushing to rescue the news."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tang and the others all sneered coldly in their hearts.

This must be false information put out by Thunder Hall to deceive outsiders.

Song Wu said, "I investigated over there and thought it was odd, so I followed the traces and tracked all the way here, hearing the sounds of fighting and came over."
