415: Calculating the River

Chen Tianming's sudden assistance was entirely because of a token tucked at the woman's waist, which looked slightly similar to the one held by the man in black from before; he needed to mingle among them to gather more intelligence.

If it weren't necessary, he wouldn't have bothered.

The young man's eyes were filled with malice, and he then realized, "You wouldn't happen to be in cahoots with this person, would you!"

"What does that have to do with you? Whatever your objective is, that is naturally my objective as well!"

Chen Tianming looked at the youth coldly.

"You."

The youth hadn't expected to run into such a tough nut to crack, but he had decided to go all out: he would either kill Chen Tianming or kill the person by Chen Tianming's side.

"Whoosh."

The youth attacked Chen Tianming.

This youth's martial arts were not weak; he looked quite a bit stronger than Chen Tianming.

However, Chen Tianming was not afraid of his opponent; if the opponent dared to make a move, he would show him why the flowers were so red.

"Hmph, you despicable people," the youth cursed coldly.

"Clap, clap, clap."

The youth attacked Chen Tianming repeatedly, but Chen Tianming remained completely unharmed, while the youth himself was shaken to the point of bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

The more the youth fought, the angrier he became. Finally, he roared, "I'll risk my life with you!"

After saying this, the youth took out a red pill and swallowed it.

After consuming the pill, the youth circulated his internal energy and attacked Chen Tianming.

He knew Chen Tianming's martial arts were formidable, so he had to resolve the fight as quickly as possible to prevent him from having a chance to escape.

"Boom."

The youth struck out with a palm toward Chen Tianming.

Chen Tianming did not show weakness either, smashing his fist directly onto the youth's palm edge.

"Snap."

A muffled sound rang out as two powerful forces of True Qi collided.

The youth was sent flying several meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"You." The youth looked at Chen Tianming in disbelief.

He hadn't expected the opponent's strength to be that formidable.

The youth immediately sprayed all the poison powder on his body toward Chen Tianming, wanting to poison him to death.

Unfortunately, before the youth's poison powder could reach Chen Tianming, it was blocked by a powerful wave of Yuan Qi.

"Ah."

The youth screamed as he fell to the ground, hurriedly circulating his True Qi to force the poison powder out of his body.

However, the youth had already been poisoned, and his complexion turned even worse.

Chen Tianming sneered, "Your martial arts are not bad, but you are still no match for me."

"You..." The youth glared at Chen Tianming in anger.

"I won't let you off."

After saying this, the youth stuffed a few more poison pills into his mouth.

The youth intended to use the toxins to control his opponent, but Chen Tianming stepped on the youth's head, directly crushing the poison powder.

The youth was terrified out of his wits; he hadn't expected Chen Tianming's martial arts to be so formidable that he could neutralize the poison without even needing an antidote.

"Who, who exactly are you?" The youth looked at Chen Tianming in fear.

"Do you have any last words? If not, hurry on down below." Chen Tianming looked at the youth coldly.

The youth hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "If I tell you, will you spare my life?"

"Hehehe, do you have the qualifications to negotiate with me?" Chen Tianming asked disdainfully.

Seeing that Chen Tianming wouldn't agree, the youth couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

But with Chen Tianming being so powerful, he had no confidence in escaping.

Therefore, unable to worry about so much, he said, "Alright, since you've said so, I will tell you. Don't blame me."

"Go ahead. No matter what you say, I won't blame you," Chen Tianming said with a smile.

The youth said, "Actually, my name is Wang Dalong, and I am a disciple of the Demon Sect."

"The Demon Sect?" Chen Tianming asked. "How did she offend people from the Demon Sect?"

Wang Dalong said, "She stole something from the Demon Sect, so naturally we have to deal with her!"

"So that's it. Are you after that treasure?" Chen Tianming asked deliberately.

Wang Dalong nodded, "Yes, it is a magical artifact, and it is very important to our Demon Sect."

"Hehehe, your Demon Sect's items shouldn't be left with others, but if she doesn't hand it over, I might just finish her off," the opponent said coldly.

The woman looked at Chen Tianming in surprise, "What do you mean!"

Chen Tianming shook his head and said, "Why would I have anything to say to you about this? I have never met you before, and I only thought someone was bullying the weak."

Wang Dalong was shaking with anger, "We are not bullying the weak; your item is just too important. If you don't hand it over, our Demon Sect will not let you off."

"Hehehe, so what if it's the Demon Sect?" Chen Tianming smiled.

The woman stomped her feet in anger, "You, don't push your luck."

Seeing the woman angry, the youth hurriedly advised, "Sister Yan, forget it. Look at me now; if it gets snatched by others, it will be very troublesome. You might as well hand it to me."

"Hmph, this magical artifact is very important to me. You might as well help me deal with him, and I can give you benefits," the woman threatened Chen Tianming viciously.

"How dare you!"

Chen Tianming sneered, "Is that so? Then let's wait and see."

After saying this, Chen Tianming took the woman and left.

"Damn it, he did that on purpose!" Wang Dalong cursed angrily.

Walking in front, Chen Tianming frowned slightly, feeling a bit confused. He turned his head to look at the woman and asked with pursed lips.

"So, what exactly did you steal recently that they would pursue you to such a place?"

"You dare to enter here without knowing anything about this place; you really are bold and skilled!"

The woman looked Chen Tianming up and down, thinking of the strength he had displayed earlier, and fell into silence.

She knew clearly that relying on her own strength to leave this place alive was completely insufficient, not to mention that she was severely injured. Before, she could only gamble that the other party didn't have such ability.

Unfortunately, she was wrong in the end.

Seeing the woman not answering, Chen Tianming asked, "Tell me, why didn't you speak just now?"

"It's nothing. I just felt a bit embarrassed," the woman lowered her head shyly.

After all, the schemes she had pulled were seen by others, and she was in such a sorry state...

"By the way, what is your name? Since I am now your savior, it should be fine to tell me your name, right?" Chen Tianming asked.

"My name is Liu Yuyan," the woman replied.

"Oh, then we are friends from now on. Remember to find me if you need help; I will definitely help you," Chen Tianming smiled.

"Thank you," Liu Yuyan said.

"Alright, let's get going. If we delay any longer, there will be danger," Chen Tianming said.

Liu Yuyan said, "Let's find a place to rest first."

Hearing Liu Yuyan say this, Chen Tianming nodded.

Anyway, he hadn't sustained any serious injuries, so there would be no problem continuing on now.

After Chen Tianming and the others walked for over an hour, they finally saw a small river.
