"You're alone?"
"Hahaha, do you underestimate us Black Feather Gang too much?"
Chen Hantian looked at Yuan Hao, who had revealed himself, and laughed dismissively.
Yuan Hao's strength was indeed considerable, but compared to his brothers, he was no match. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been chased and cornered all the way here.
"Hmph!"
"Enough talk. If you want to snatch our treasure, you'll have to step over our dead bodies!"
Yuan Hao snorted coldly, a potent aura emanating from his body.
"Since you've made that request, I'll grant it!"
"Brothers, step over them!"
Chen Hantian sneered coldly and waved his hand. A roar of killing intent erupted as the surrounding men, wielding their weapons, charged towards their opponents.
Yuan Hao showed no fear, his figure flickering instantly.
In mere moments, the clash of weapons and the screams of the wounded mingled together.
"Brothers, your target is not just Yuan Hao. Be more strategic."
Watching figures fall to the ground, Chen Hantian showed no anger. Instead, he smiled and offered guidance.
As his voice faded, the Black Feather Gang members split into two groups. One continued to engage Yuan Hao, while the other surged towards Hong Liu and Chen Gong.
The next moment, the scene descended into chaos. Hong Liu, forced into a corner, could only defend desperately.
However, it wasn't long before Chen Gong, who was with Hong Liu, fell into the hands of the Black Feather Gang.
Seeing this, Hong Liu and Yuan Hao had no choice but to cease their struggle and retreat to the sidelines.
"Heh heh, it seems you have some self-awareness!"
Watching them stop, Chen Hantian's face revealed a smile. This proved that both were soft-hearted and would not stand by and watch Chen Gong die.
With that thought, he continued, "Yuan Hao, Hong Liu, if you don't hand over what you've obtained, then this Chen Gong will surely die!"
As his words echoed, Yuan Hao and Hong Liu exchanged glances.
The next moment, Yuan Hao produced the Qiankun Bag and said, "You can have the Qiankun Bag, but you must release him first!"
"Agreed!"
Chen Hantian nodded with a smile and then waved his hand. The Black Feather Gang subordinates, seeing this, immediately released Chen Gong.
Chen Hantian had no worries about them playing any tricks, for a simple reason: he had ample manpower. Even if they tried to deceive him, he could always recapture Chen Gong.
"Two commanders, you cannot give it to them!"
"Just give me a quick death. I can't possibly be a burden to you any longer..."
Returning to Yuan Hao's side, Chen Gong quickly spoke.
What the two commanders had done for him was more than enough. He couldn't bear to see the treasures they had risked their lives for handed over to others.
"Silence!"
Though he wished to die, Yuan Hao silenced him with a stern command.
The next moment, Yuan Hao took out the Qiankun Bag and looked at Chen Hantian.
"Chen Hantian, this is my final warning: the treasures of Yulong Villa are not easily taken! Don't forget, our Death God Master is still alive!"
"Hmph! We won't trouble you to worry about that!" Chen Hantian snorted coldly.
Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Yuan Hao gritted his teeth and threw the Qiankun Bag over, saying, "Rivers flow and mountains shift, we'll meet again!"
With that, Yuan Hao prepared to leave with Hong Liu and Chen Gong.
However, at that very moment, Chen Hantian's voice rang out again.
"No need for 'we'll meet again.' I never said I'd let you go!"
"You just said your Death God Master isn't dead. If he finds out about this, we'll be in serious trouble!"
"So, I apologize, but for our own safety, we must silence you!"
A sinister smile spread across Chen Hantian's face. With a wave of his hand, the Black Feather Gang disciples around him once again raised their weapons and advanced towards them.
"You break your promise!"
Hearing the other party's words, Yuan Hao was filled with rage but was helpless. He could only shield Chen Gong alongside Hong Liu.
"Two commanders, please don't mind me. Just break through yourselves!"
"If there's ever a chance, avenge me..."
Seeing the dire situation, Chen Gong gritted his teeth and urged them.
He knew that with Yuan Hao and Hong Liu's abilities, it would be difficult to defeat their opponents, but breaking through their encirclement was certainly possible!
As he spoke, Chen Gong drew a dagger and lunged towards his own chest.
Hmph!
Just then, a cold snort echoed, and the dagger in Chen Gong's hand was knocked away by a blade of energy.
A Heavenly level expert!
Witnessing this, Chen Hantian's expression darkened. Only a Heavenly level expert could project their spiritual energy outwards.
And this person had just prevented Chen Gong from committing suicide. Could it be the Death God of Yulong Villa?
However, as his gaze fell upon the figure appearing in the distance, he couldn't help but be stunned.
It was a face he had never seen before, yet the attire was that of the Barren Mountains.
What was going on?
Could there be another Heavenly level expert in the Barren Mountains? This was incredibly inaccurate!
Chen Hantian muttered to himself. He wasn't a reckless man; before attempting such a robbery, he had certainly investigated which factions were safe to provoke and which were not.
The faction of the Barren Mountains had been categorized by him as one that could be targeted.
But now, it seemed he could only inwardly sigh with relief. Fortunately, he hadn't encountered anyone from the Barren Mountains, or it would have been troublesome.
With that thought, he looked up at the newcomer and cupped his hands. "Senior, may I know your relationship with Yulong Villa? And why are you intervening to help them?"
Although only one person had appeared, they were still a Heavenly level expert. If it wasn't necessary, Chen Hantian didn't want to engage them.
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian snorted coldly and replied, "I have a good relationship with their Master, the Death God. Do you think I should meddle in this matter?"
Excellent!
As soon as these words were spoken, Hong Liu and the other two's eyes lit up. Having a good relationship with the Death God meant they were allies.
And this person was a Heavenly level expert; they would surely help them escape this predicament!
While some rejoiced, others despaired!
On one side, Hong Liu and the others' excitement was uncontainable. On the other, Chen Hantian's face had turned as dark as blood.
This was the outcome Chen Hantian least wanted to see! Yet, he had no choice but to face it.
The next moment, he cupped his hands and said, "Since Senior has stepped forward, our Black Feather Gang will certainly show you this respect!"
As he spoke, Chen Hantian waved his hand, and the surrounding Black Feather Gang disciples quickly withdrew their encirclement and retreated behind him.
"Senior, can we leave now?"
Chen Hantian said, slowly retreating with his men.
"You cannot let him leave!"
Hong Liu stepped forward and said to Ye Cangtian, "Senior, they also stole the treasures we obtained. We implore Senior to help us retrieve them!"
Ye Cangtian heard this, nodded, and extended his hand to stop Hong Liu from continuing.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian's gaze fell upon Chen Hantian, and a mischievous smile played on his lips.
This...
Seeing the smile on the other's face, Chen Hantian's hands clenched into fists.
How could he not understand the other party's intentions?
But how could this feast, already in his mouth, be taken out so easily?
With that thought, Chen Hantian braced himself and said, "Senior, we have released the person, and we have shown you respect. You cannot expect our brothers to have worked for nothing, can you?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's interest was piqued. He smiled and said, "If you don't hand it over, then they will have indeed worked for nothing.
Do you think I would prefer to see you have worked for nothing, or to see them have worked for nothing?"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian raised his hand, and miniature blades of energy began to swirl in his palm.
This...
Seeing this scene, Chen Hantian broke out in a cold sweat.
He had no doubt that these miniature blades of energy, once released, would inflict heavy damage on them!
With this in mind, Chen Hantian had no choice but to take out the Qiankun Bag and throw it to Ye Cangtian.
There was no other way. Only by preserving his life could there be a future.
Having done all this, Chen Hantian, without another word, turned and left with everyone.
However, after taking just a few steps, Chen Hantian stopped. Before them stood five figures, all wearing the attire of the Barren Mountains.
Seeing this, Chen Hantian's face changed once more.
He turned his head and said grimly, "Senior, I have returned the treasures of Yulong Villa. What is the meaning of this?"
"Don't rush off!"
A playful smile spread across Ye Cangtian's face as he walked towards them.
"We've finally met. As the saying goes, it's more fun to share. Good things should be enjoyed by all, don't you agree?"
