Long Ang tried hard to put on an air of nonchalance, a faint smile on his face. But Long Jiu had already bribed the members of the Dragon Group, so seeing Long Ang, how could they possibly be as respectful as before? "You’re wrong, you should be calling him the former Group Leader." They completely ignored Long Ang’s words, curling their lips disdainfully, "Long Ang, you’re really bold, leaving the Dragon Group and joining Ancient Martial Arts. Do you know how heartbroken and disappointed the Great Elder is with you?" Long Ang was stunned for a moment; he knew well that Long Jiu must have said something to them. He immediately explained, "I didn’t join Ancient Martial Arts, I only wanted to go to the crime scene because I saw our group’s unique Binding Rope there." "Long Ang, don’t bother explaining, everyone knows you’re now working at Chu Ge’s Gambling Stone Field. The once glorious Dragon Group Leader has now ended up being a mere waiter, tsk tsk tsk, if this gets out, it’ll really disgrace our Dragon Group." "Exactly, Long Ang, when you’re out, don’t say you were once part of the Dragon Group, we’d be ashamed." Long Ang didn’t expect that the companions who used to fight alongside him would turn into enemies just three days after he left the Dragon Group. His heart sank a bit, "Please move aside, I need to pass." Seeing Long Ang’s face turn cold, the people felt even more disdain, "Oh, so you’re getting angry already? We haven’t even finished talking." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel※fire.net There were still some in the Dragon Group who liked Long Ang, but they were forced to yield under the circumstances. Seeing Long Ang being bullied by these people, they felt somewhat uncomfortable. "Forget it, the Great Elder and others are waiting for us to report back." "Yeah, we’ve delayed long enough, if we are late, the Group Leader will scold us again." Upon mentioning Long Jiu, those wanting to continue taunting Long Ang finally stopped. "Hmph, you’re lucky today." The person snorted, then left with his hands behind his back. The two who helped make a scene looked at Long Ang with regret, wanting to say something, but unable to find the words. Long Ang knew their feelings were genuine, that they truly wanted to help him just now, and he felt fortunate that they still remembered him. Long Ang gently nodded at them and gave a slight smile in response. This small incident did not affect Long Ang’s mood, but it did delay his time. To quicken his pace, Long Ang had to gather his energy to move swiftly. Meanwhile, Chu Ge and Black Widow were locked in a fierce battle; Chu Ge hadn’t anticipated that Black Widow’s martial arts were far superior to his own. Although he managed to dodge Black Widow’s attacks each time, he could only dodge, unable to launch a counterattack. This made him too passive. Chu Ge was constantly looking for an opportunity, a chance to counterattack, but every time, Black Widow seemed to anticipate his moves and defended well. Black Widow chuckled derisively, "Chu Ge, do you feel you’re getting more and more overwhelmed?" Had it not been for the need to fully absorb Chu Ge’s inner strength, she would have killed him long ago! There was no need to drag this out! Chu Ge snorted coldly, "You should worry about yourself! If the Star Shifting Technique isn’t completed within a certain set of moves, it can easily backfire!" "Hmph, didn’t expect you to know quite a bit." Black Widow had had enough fun with Chu Ge and looked at him with cold eyes, "Now I’ll show you what a true Ancient Martial Artist is!" Black Widow suddenly rose into the air about ten meters away from Chu Ge, her arms stretching wide, causing the surrounding winds to grow stronger. Even the clouds in the sky began to change, with some black clouds emerging unknown from where, slowly covering the sky. The surrounding sky grew darker, and Chu Ge squinted, inwardly relieved that this was the suburbs, otherwise such a sudden and intense change in the weather in the city center would surely be captured. It was precisely because of Black Widow’s black clouds that Jian Chunqiu and Long Ang were alerted; both were practitioners, naturally able to discern the unusual nature of these clouds and the hidden danger within. "Chu Ge, today, this is your grave!" After Black Widow’s shout, the True Qi in her palm shot straight toward Chu Ge. Chu Ge stood expressionless, reacting swiftly, forming a natural barrier of True Qi in front of himself. He knew that the black clouds above him were not simply clouds; while defending against possible venomous bats emerging from those clouds, he didn’t forget to erode the sharp sword made by True Qi shot by Black Widow. "Let’s see how long you can endure!" Black Widow once again transformed True Qi into sharp swords, shooting them towards Chu Ge. This time, not only the sharp swords but also venomous bats suddenly appeared from the black clouds above. The bats seemed to be attracted by a mysterious allure from Chu Ge’s body, flying eagerly toward him. Chu Ge this time directly utilized True Qi to build a natural protective shield around him, enclosing himself within. He knew that Black Widow would not let him fend off so easily; she would surely launch a sneak attack while he dodged the bats and sharp swords. So, Chu Ge chose to remain unflustered and let dynamic actions control static responses. Seeing Chu Ge not falling for her trap, Black Widow thought if she intensified the force, Chu Ge might truly not withstand it. If those bats truly bit Chu Ge, wouldn’t his True Qi be impure? Black Widow hesitated and ultimately decided to wait for an unguarded moment from Chu Ge to launch a sneak attack. The bats were spiraling downward, continuing this would yield no solution, Chu Ge’s mind rotated swiftly. He must find a way to escape. Chu Ge was a smart person; he would not act rashly, knowing well he was not Black Widow’s match yet risking life and death confrontation, which was not his style. Chu Ge noticed through peripheral vision that Black Widow was seeking a chance to attack him, intending to absorb his True Qi when he was unsuspecting. Chu Ge pondered for a moment, deciding to turn the tables. He pretended to focus on dealing with the bats, gradually retracting the protective barrier in front of him. The bats quickly surrounded Chu Ge. As the bats grew more numerous, they began forming a gigantic sphere...
