My Pretty Campus Queen-Chapter 712 - 710: Conflict Rekindled

"How can you be like this? Clearly, you’re the one who stole our vegetables, and now you’re threatening me? What’s your deal?" Chen Tianlong said, pretending to be very dissatisfied.

"Oh...."

Hao Ren immediately felt guilty, his mind went blank, not knowing what to say.

"Ahem, Young Master Hao, are you really afraid of this kid?" Zhenzi watched for a while, and seeing Hao Ren looking so timid, could not stand it anymore and deliberately stirred up trouble.

Hao Ren originally wanted to back down, but seeing Zhenzi’s disdainful expression, he immediately composed himself. Retreating now would certainly earn Zhenzi’s contempt, and if he gets angry and reveals their dealings, wouldn’t that be extremely embarrassing?

The key was that someone recorded the entire process. If the old man were to see it, he’d be furious.

"Hmph, Chen Tianlong, I’ve put up with you for long enough. To be honest, I’m here to pick a fight, so you better take a beating quietly from me to make it easier on yourself. Otherwise, don’t blame me for crippling you."

When Hao Ren said this, he didn’t have much confidence. He just blustered to act tough, hoping to not only pretend well but also bolster his courage.

Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly upon hearing this. Hao Ren’s tone carried a slight tremor, which others might not notice, but Chen Tianlong, having been well-versed in medicine and the meridians of the human body since childhood, could easily discern. Also, he was currently employing the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, enhancing all his sensory abilities.

So, it was easy to grasp Hao Ren’s true state.

"Oh? Are you sure it’s you who will beat me, and not me who will beat you?" Chen Tianlong coldly said with a smile. He was generally prepared for everything at that moment. The Life-taking Three Needles were ready to launch; all that was missing was the right opportunity.

After hearing Chen Tianlong’s threat, Hao Ren felt a chill in his heart, a feeling of trembling without fighting. But he had boasted earlier and had to carry on regardless.

"Hmph, you’ll soon realize your mistake. Right now, you’re just playing with words. Don’t think I don’t know you have the strength of Yellow Dao Four Stars, pretending to be weak while being strong. This time, I won’t be fooled again. You’re not my opponent, so stop pretending."

As Hao Ren spoke, he suddenly felt a surge of confidence. He hadn’t thought much before, but now that he remembered these things, he felt he had indeed been tricked, perhaps Chen Tianlong wasn’t that strong.

Chen Tianlong smiled bitterly; it seemed he was found out. But Hao Ren really had bad luck; if it were before and Hao Ren had seen through him, it would indeed be bad luck for Chen Tianlong.

However, today Hao Ren made a miscalculation because Chen Tianlong had long prepared his trump card, waiting for the moment to land a heavy blow.

"It remains to be seen who will have the last laugh. Don’t speak too soon," Chen Tianlong said coldly, a slight smirk at the corner of his lips, and a disdainful look in his eyes directed at Hao Ren.

"Young Master Hao, why are you still dawdling with this kid? The food’s getting cold. Hurry up and finish him so we can eat," Zhenzi couldn’t take it anymore. As an assassin, she hated hesitation and dawdling the most.

At this moment, Young Master Hao’s cold sweat was dripping, slowly covering his forehead. He acted calm, but his body betrayed him.

To avoid further torment, Hao Ren gritted his teeth and directly said: "Fine, since you want me to beat you up, I will oblige."

With that, Hao Ren took a step forward, clenched his fists, trying to knock out Chen Tianlong with a punch.

However, he knew that this punch might not cause much harm to Chen Tianlong.

But Young Master Hao also felt that his strength wasn’t as high as presumed, at most it would be a draw or he might even be slightly stronger.

With this in mind, his primary goal now was to focus on targeting Chen Tianlong, since according to past battles, the person’s speed of movement was very fast, his steps a bit mysterious, and it was unknown what kind of martial arts it was.

"Go to hell!"

Hao Ren wasn’t sure if this move could land on Chen Tianlong. If Chen Tianlong stood still, such a strike might at least cause him some minor injuries, thereby revealing his approximate strength.

If he couldn’t withstand this move, then a full-power strike afterward would surely take his life.

So, Hao Ren was also gambling, using eighty percent of his strength to test whether Chen Tianlong was hiding his power. If he unleashed his full power at the start, what if the other side wasn’t hiding anything and was killed outright?

This was a public space, after all, definitely a situation difficult to navigate.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

However, before Hao Ren could get close to Chen Tianlong, he saw dozens of silver needles flying towards him.

Dammit!

Hao Ren widened his eyes, never expecting that Chen Tianlong, with a casual move, unleashed so many silver needles.

Meanwhile, Chen Tianlong stepped back several meters.

"Chen Tianlong, are you okay?" Lin Wushuang was already on her feet, watching Chen Tianlong fight with sweat dripping from her palms.

"Sigh....."

After stabilizing himself, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath and quickly employed the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, intending to restore his physical strength, to increase it a little if possible.

Although Hao Ren was incapacitated by this sudden move, making him incapable of further combat, Chen Tianlong feared Zhenzi, whose vicious tactics he worried might reveal something, which would spell trouble.

"I’m fine, what could be wrong, hehe."

Seeing Hao Ren lie on the ground after being hit by his silver needles, Chen Tianlong wasn’t worried about the Zhenzi girl, as she was a foreigner likely not to act rashly in a public space.

"Sss..."

Covering his chest, Hao Ren realized that several needle marks were left there, as some acupoints were sealed by Chen Tianlong. Furthermore, the silver needles carried Powerful Qi, penetrating the body and causing severe pain. For the moment, Hao Ren had lost his ability to fight back.

As expected, upon seeing Hao Ren’s condition, Zhenzi’s brow furrowed before she flashed to his side and asked: "You.... are you okay?"

She too had misjudged. Even though she’d seen that Chen Tianlong only possessed the strength of a Yellow Dao Four Star, at the moment Hao Ren stepped closer, his power surged to an unimaginable level. Even she, a Yellow Dao Six Star expert, was not confident to withstand a single move, a super Hidden Weapon composed of twenty-seven silver needles, from Chen Tianlong.

"Cough cough.... I’m fine, but this kid is indeed powerful. Cough cough cough.... I can’t beat him," Hao Ren said weakly. Unsurprisingly, most of his acupoints were sealed by Chen Tianlong, unbeknownst to him.

"Alright then, you refrain from going further, let me handle it!"

Zhenzi wasn’t angry at the moment. She knew that judging by the energy fluctuations from before, Chen Tianlong’s earlier strike definitely exceeded the power of Yellow Dao Six Stars.

"This.... doesn’t seem appropriate, this person...."

"Heh heh, don’t worry, I have a plan." Zhenzi said with a cold smile, and who knows what she was planning.

Looking at the contempt written all over Zhenzi’s face, Chen Tianlong felt that she was somewhat terrifying. It was unclear if she really had some secret weapon or had already seen through his situation.
