412: The Black Man's Killer
Even if he did not care, it would be very difficult for him to escape from here alone, not to mention this group of unknown men in black.
"Brother Chen, we had better leave quickly."
Yue Xiaojie could not help but remind him.
Chen Tianming nodded and signaled for Zhou Xun to join them.
At this moment, Chen Tianming suddenly felt a strong killing intent coming from behind, and his heart tightened.
"Oh no!"
He immediately turned around to counterattack, only to see dozens of flying daggers shooting towards him. The speed was so fast that he could not react in time.
He immediately used his right hand to block, grabbed Yue Xiaojie with his left hand to dodge to the side, and then saw a figure vanish before his eyes.
"Bang."
A large crater was blasted where Yue Xiaojie had just been standing, and there was no one left in the position they had just occupied.
"Brother Chen, their target is you," Yue Xiaojie said anxiously.
"Let's get out of here first."
Chen Tianming said through gritted teeth.
Although he had only dodged two flying daggers just now, he had still sustained minor injuries.
Yue Xiaojie did not dare to delay; he took out his silver needles and medicinal powder and scattered them. The poison drifted through the air, and then screams were heard.
"Hmph, let's go quickly," Chen Tianming said coldly.
Yue Xiaojie nodded, and the two continued to run into the distance.
Just then, three more fierce attacks struck towards them. This time, the speed was even faster than the last, making it completely impossible for them to dodge.
"Puchi."
Yue Xiaojie was pierced through the chest by a dart and died on the spot.
"Ah..."
Chen Tianming was terrified at the sight; he quickly carried Yue Xiaojie and fled into the distance.
There were men in black over there too; they were now completely surrounded. If things continued like this, they would both perish here.
"Want to leave?"
A hoarse voice came from opposite them.
"Sorry, you are all going to die tonight."
After speaking, several more flying daggers shot towards them.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Chen Tianming and Yue Xiaojie desperately dodged the darts, but there were too many of them, making it impossible to avoid them all, and both of them were injured.
Yue Xiaojie's eyes widened, and his face revealed an expression of extreme pain.
His strength was originally quite good, but unfortunately, the opponents were advanced martial artists, and he simply could not contend with them.
Chen Tianming glanced at Yue Xiaojie and inwardly cried out that it was bad; if this continued, Yue Xiaojie would definitely die.
He quickly took out silver needles and pierced his acupoints; Yue Xiaojie immediately calmed down.
Chen Tianming placed Yue Xiaojie to one side, instructed him to run away, and then rushed in another direction.
"Hmph, where are you going?"
The people opposite saw Chen Tianming fleeing in another direction and immediately pursued him.
"Swish, swish, swish."
Darts continuously attacked Chen Tianming's back, leaving him covered in blood.
But he could not care about that anymore; he could only keep running.
At this moment, a loud "boom" came from behind, as if something had collided.
Chen Tianming was secretly delighted; it seemed he had finally shaken off the enemies.
But the previous explosion had slowed their speed significantly, and those men in black were getting closer and closer to them.
"Swish."
Chen Tianming inwardly cried out that it was bad; if they could not take this opportunity to escape, they would all die here once those people caught up.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he ran frantically forward.
"Swish."
A few more darts flew over.
Chen Tianming cursed inwardly, why were they pursuing so relentlessly?
However, it was fine if they caught up; it would save him from having to keep running.
Consequently, Chen Tianming suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Boom."
The darts smashed heavily into Chen Tianming's body, and he spat out blood as he was knocked backward.
"Plop."
Chen Tianming fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.
"Hehehe, aren't you trying to kill me? Come on then," Chen Tianming said with a smile, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Damn it, do you think we would not dare?" one of the men cursed angrily.
"Swish."
After speaking, the man pulled a pistol from his waist and aimed it at Chen Tianming.
"Bang."
"Ah."
But at this very moment, another dart struck his body; he let out a miserable scream and immediately fell to the ground.
"Hurry up and kill him, otherwise we will be caught up."
A man beside him shouted.
"Hmm."
The other men hurriedly took out their pistols and fired at Chen Tianming, but Chen Tianming had disappeared without a trace at that moment.
"Damn it, that guy ran away."
The man said bitterly and hurriedly ran to the other side.
Chen Tianming stared at their retreating backs and pondered; why did the people from the Demon Palace suddenly attack? Could it be that there was something unknown here?
This was also why Chen Tianming had acted as if he were no match for them; only in this way could he let them go deeper and find the treasure for him.
"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?"
Seeing that Chen Tianming was gone, the man could not help but curse.
He hurriedly walked forward, ignoring Chen Tianming and the others.
After all, Yue Xiaojie and the others were injured; he did not believe Chen Tianming would abandon them.
Chen Tianming stared at the retreating figures, contacted Zhou Xun, and left markers along the way.
Soon, Chen Tianming and his group arrived at that mountain peak.
"Young Master Chen, what should we do?"
Zhou Xun asked worriedly.
"Do not move."
Chen Tianming instructed Zhou Xun, then rushed forward.
The trees in front were quite lush, and the flowers and plants were very dense. He was very well hidden inside, and if anyone were here, they would not be able to discover him.
Chen Tianming used his dagger to slash at the branches a few times, then flew towards the top of a tree.
"Clatter."
After Chen Tianming climbed over the tree canopy, he discovered something wrong ahead. He estimated that this was the mechanism to enter the Demon Palace; it seemed the other party had come prepared.
Chen Tianming did not hesitate any longer and immediately rushed forward; as long as he entered inside, he could shake off the enemies.
Just as Chen Tianming was about to enter behind the door, his figure suddenly stopped.
Behind the door he was entering, there were actually hundreds of darts swinging back and forth; if he was not careful, he might get hit.
Chen Tianming was stunned when he saw the scene behind the door.
Because behind the door was a long corridor, only one meter wide, allowing only one person to pass at a time. If it were an ordinary person, one might accidentally step into the void and fall.
"Hehehe, Chen Tianming, you are done for. Just stay here obediently."
A sinister laugh came from ahead.
Chen Tianming looked up and saw that the person's face was covered with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes, which was very terrifying.
Chen Tianming frowned inwardly; why did the other party know his name?
Chen Tianming was secretly vigilant; who exactly had leaked his identity? He should not have exposed it to anyone, especially not these suddenly appearing men in black.
"Hehehe, Chen Tianming, you do not need to be nervous. We will not kill you. We are from the Demon Palace. As long as you help us do one thing, we will let you go," the man in black said with a sinister laugh.
"Why should I trust you?" Chen Tianming asked.
