Chapter 990: Is He a Devil?
You must understand, the reason Ming Long and He Shengfeng did not rush to Binhai immediately to question Jiang Feng was precisely because they hadn't let anger cloud their judgment.
Selecting personnel to go together is not redundant.
Elder Kui gave a death order that on this trip to Binhai, they must succeed, not fail!
What Jiang Feng did at Taihu was simply inconceivable, and they had to guard against it.
Ming Long himself was confident he could kill Jiang Feng, and even He Shengfeng as well, but better safe than sorry, more preparation couldn't hurt.
"Now, the selection officially begins. No one is allowed to hold back. Attack!!"
He Shengfeng waved his hand, giving the final command, initiating a chaotic battle among over five hundred people!
The more than five hundred people had no choice but to start fighting each other.
At this moment, everyone exerted all their strength, each bringing out their full potential, all for the chance to secure one of the fifty spots.
Ming Long continued to watch coldly, while He Shengfeng, the Supreme Elder, and a few other elders, seeing people constantly getting injured, felt some heartache but had to comply due to Ming Long's intimidation.
Soon, after a brutal scuffle, a large number of people had fallen under the stage, with only a little over fifty remaining standing, all badly wounded.
However, these more than fifty people each exuded a powerful aura, masters among masters.
This group was akin to a pride of lions or a pack of wolves, destined to drink blood once deployed! Certainly more effective than leading a disorganized mob.
He Shengfeng looked satisfactorily at these fifty-odd individuals and flatteringly said to Ming Long, "Lord Ming Long, the selection is over, what do you think?"
"We agreed to bring fifty people, but now we have fifty-six, more must be eliminated!"
Ming Long remained expressionless, "This time we're going to a bustling city for slaughter, not the secluded Lake Heart Island of the martial arts world; too many eyes, even one extra useless person won't do!"
Useless…
He Shengfeng suddenly felt a bit awkward, these fifty-six were already the last resources and strength of the Hundred Knowledge Hall, yet in Ming Long's eyes, they were still insignificant.
However, there was nothing to be done; Ming Long was a favored figure beside Elder Kui in the Main Pavilion, well-experienced. If he said they were useless, then they were useless!
"Understood, then I'll have them fight again, eliminate——"
Before He Shengfeng finished speaking, those fifty-six couldn't hold back anymore!
They stepped forward angrily, glaring at Ming Long, "Lord, we are battle-hardened elites of Hundred Knowledge Hall, why do you look down on us so much? Even if you're from the Main Pavilion, you can't be so condescending, can you?"
What of the Main Pavilion?
They had endured from the start to now but couldn't anymore; the Hundred Knowledge Hall was not for outsiders to command and boss around.
"Oh? You're still dissatisfied? I call you waste, and you feel wronged?"
Ming Long sneered, and suddenly, in a flash, appeared in the midst of those fifty, disdainfully looking at the fifty-six raging with killing aura, "Alright then, if you're not happy, I'll personally eliminate!"
"To deal with you, I won't use my hands or feet, just rely on my tongue to settle those lacking strength among you. And should all of you manage to touch a single hair of mine, I'll concede; I'll cut off my tongue and apologize to you!"
"Arrogant!!!"
The fifty-six couldn't hold back any longer; how could they be looked down upon like this? Among them were quite a few grandmaster-level experts, the rest were maestros!
Immediately, one person furiously charged at Ming Long, aiming to knock him out with a punch like a cannon.
However, with hands behind his back, Ming Long only slightly sidestepped and evaded at lightning speed.
At the same time, he stuck out his tongue and lightly pecked the opponent's forehead!
In an instant, a hole appeared on the opponent's temple, their face filled with terror, seeming near death!
And Ming Long, unceremoniously, used his tongue to hook a bit of brain matter, tasted it with relish.
That person died instantly, with a lingering expression of endless terror, seemingly never expecting to be killed in such a manner!!!
The remaining fifty-five, along with the over four hundred wounded lying on the ground, all looked at Ming Long in horror, was this the strength of a headquarters expert?
This was too monstrous, to pierce a person's skull with just his tongue, lick out brain matter…?!
Was he a devil?
"Now you know just how big the gap is between you and true experts, right? But don't be too shocked, in the Main Pavilion, I'm just an ordinary figure, those stronger than me are countless! Now, this is just to set an example, if you go to Binhai and dare harbor lucky thoughts, this will be your fate!"
After saying this, Ming Long in an instant dashed amongst the remaining fifty-five, with several "poof", "poof", "poof", "poof" jabs, instantly breaking the temples of five of them, all killed in a flash, leaving fifty trembling!
"Ming... Lord Ming Long is invincible! This time leading us to Binhai will surely allow us to triumph, slaughter that Jiang bastard, vindicate past shames!!!"
He Shengfeng, Supreme Elder Nie Dewu, and others were also frightened by Ming Long's thunderous and violent methods, immediately knelt in reverence, chanting with awe.
"Lord Ming Long is invincible, Lord Ming Long is invincible!!"
The fifty surviving elites, and the over four hundred wounded on the ground, also quickly prostrated themselves, kneeling on one knee before Ming Long, soaked in cold sweat, shouting in unison!
"Hmph, Jiang Feng, I hope you can endure until I step in! I, Ming Long, as the shadow of Elder Kui, haven't indulged in a good hunt for a long time, you better not disappoint me!"
Ming Long looked towards Binhai in the distance, sneering coldly, gaze murderous!
…
At dawn the next day.
Nangong Qingcheng was awakened by the footsteps in the corridor, the young nurses had come to change shifts, and it wouldn't be long before Xiaoqing would come in to give another injection.
Upon opening her eyes, she saw Jiang Feng still sitting by her side, maintaining the same posture from last night.
"Jiang Feng, you... did you really sit there all night?"
Nangong Qingcheng asked in surprise, propping herself up, suddenly feeling a bit distressed.
She had thought Jiang Feng would come over once she fell asleep, but who knew he was so foolish to guard her all night, without changing position.
"Seeing you sleep so soundly, how could I bear to disturb you? How do you feel now, better? Calmed down?" Jiang Feng mischievously blinked, asking with a smile.
Nangong Qingcheng felt even more guilty, her heart aching sourly.
This rascal, it would have been better if he just scolded her, such words were more embarrassing, weren't they?
She was sober now and realized how childish her little tantrum last night was; what was rare was that Jiang Feng fully cooperated with her, caring for her, which truly moved her.
