Chapter 530: b.l.o.o.d.y Tears!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Why is Commander Qi Long crying?” Those in the audience asked in surprise.
Commander Qi Long was a suns.h.i.+ne boy and always showed an honest and caring smile. That smile of his made people naturally want to trust him. Even when faced with the biggest difficulties, he would try his best. His determined and unshakable impression was known to everyone deep in their hearts. In the eyes of bystanders, if someone were to ask who in the Ling Lan’s team would cry and sob, others might, but not Qi Long. The feeling that Qi Long gave to others was that he was too strong-willed. He was a tough guy who only bled but never cried.
Yet this tough guy that everyone knew from their hearts had cried. However, no one felt that this Qi Long was soft and weak…
Some people actually also had red eyes as well. They quickly rubbed their eyes and said, “Sh*t, why are you being emotional?”
Seeing this, Ling Lan frowned. She was very confused. What had Qi Long actually come to realize while he was on the verge of death?
At that moment, in Qi Long’s memory, the battle between Boss and the others hadn’t ended because of Qi Long’s tears in mid-air. It was still continuing just like his memories.
“Ah-wooo!”
As Luo Lang howled angrily at the sky, insanity filled his eyes; he had activated the violent personality. This personality could increase his body’s strength limitlessly. Luo Lang knew clearly that calculating and planning in detail would be useless when fighting against Boss. They could only do their best to increase their power to barely face him.
Although Luo Lang’s face was soft and beautiful, at that moment, under the effects of his violent personality, Luo Lang’s soft essence had much of it disappear and had a bit of rudeness and mercilessness to him instead. His originally weak and bony right arm suddenly inflated, and his muscles protruded outwards as well.
Luo Lang stomped the ground and his entire body flew towards Ling Lan like a cannonball. A strong punch mercilessly flew towards Ling Lan. The fist actually created an exploding sound as it traveled through the air because its speed and strength had broken the sound barrier.
Ling Lan’s eyes shook as she raised her right hand to block Luo Lang’s fierce punch…
Bam!
Ling Lan’s expression instantly became pale. However, she instantly returned to normal. Everyone else who were all focused on the fight didn’t pay attention to this detail. Of course, Ling Lan was someone who had a whiter skin color. Although her face had turned pale for a second, if they didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t be able to see the small change in color.
Indeed, back then no one would stare at Ling Lan’s face because her aura was too strong. her gaze was too cold and sharp, making everyone not dare to stare at her face. However, the Qi Long that was sobbing kept on staring at Ling Lan. Although Ling Lan’s expression only changed for a second, Qi Long still saw it.
As expected, Boss had been wounded! Why didn’t they think of paying attention to their boss back then? If they had just paid a little bit of attention, how could they have not discovered this fact?
Boss was also human. He would also become tired, exhausted and injured.
Right at that moment, Qi Long, who was waiting for his chance, had made a move…
Seeing this scene, Qi Long knew the outcome of his move. Unable to control his emotions, Qi Long finally shouted, “Stop, stop!”
It turns out the most hated individuals were not enemies. Instead, the most hated were not only careless friends, but also those who harmed others. And at that time, they were these types of a.s.sholes.
Qi Long quietly sobbed as he stared at the scene below him. He had hurt the boss that he respected so much with his own two hands.
He saw himself raise his fist excitedly and pounce towards Ling Lan. Qi Long remembered clearly that at that moment, his innate talent, Animal Instinct, told him when was the best time to attack. He had indeed found the best time to attack, but now his heart felt like it was going to shatter.
Boom!
Two silhouettes suddenly split apart. The strong force threw Qi Long backwards, while Ling Lan also took a step back to get rid of the reactive force.
Ling Lan’s expression became pale once again. She puckered her lips and looked coldly at her comrades. However, her eyes were showing approval and joy.
“Because I managed to take advantage of the moment and harm you, you felt pleased with all that… Boss, how can you be like that? What have I, Qi Long, done to deserve a boss like you?” Qi Long’s heart began to burn up. He felt his heart beating fiercely again. This time, he didn’t feel any pain, only boundless warmth…
Seeing that Qi Long’s attack wasn’t effective, Luo Lang shouted, “Everyone move in together.”
In one versus one battles, n.o.body could go against Boss. Luo Lang knew this and the other members of Ling Lan’s team also understood.
“Attack his lower body!” Han Jijyun finally calculated the only effective position they could attack. Before he attacked, he didn’t forget to tell his comrades.
Ling Lan easily dodged Han Jijyun’s attack, but when she landed, her body actually trembled a bit. Everyone’s eyes lit up and they all moved in together.
The first to make their moves were Luo Lang and Xie Yi. They tacitly attacked Ling Lan’s lower body. Qi Long, on the other hand, had jumped up and performed a strong side kick to attack Ling Lan’s upper body… and Lin Zhong-qing, who was hidden all this time, had also made a move.
He suddenly appeared behind Ling Lan, silently attacking her from the back.
Han Jijyun saw an opening and added an attack from the side to create interference.
These attacks from all directions instantly put Ling Lan into a crisis.
Ling Lan knew that dodging was impossible, but she didn’t panic; using her left foot as a pivot point, she suddenly performed a whirlwind mantis sweep…
“Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!” There were four sounds of strong hits landing almost simultaneously.
Ling Lan instantly kicked Han Jijyun, Lin Zhong-qing, Luo Lang and Xie Yi. The four of them were instantly kicked into the air and were sent flying backwards. Ling Lan’s crisis still hadn’t been averted, however; Qi Long’s attack was right in front of her.
Suddenly, Ling Lan disappeared. Qi Long felt his vision blur as the opponent he was about to attack had disappeared. Before he could react, he felt a strong force kick him straight in the chest and his entire body flew backwards.
It turned out that Ling Lan had suddenly squatted right as Qi Long was about to hit her and dodged Qi Long’s side kick. At the same time, her right leg was like a scorpion flinging its stinger as she ruthlessly kicked Qi Long who was flying towards her.
In the blink of an eye, all five of them had been kicked away by their boss. They somersaulted in mid-air and landed, but they still couldn’t completely nullify the force. They took many steps back and only then managed to stop their footsteps. Even so, they still felt blood rus.h.i.+ng to their heads. The strong blow had still wounded them internally.
They channelled their Qi-Jin around in their body and managed to get rid of the feeling of suffocation and feel much better.
After blocking the attacks of the five, Ling Lan stood up once again. She put down her right leg coolly as her right hand brushed her face. When she landed on the ground, she once again took a cla.s.sic defensive stance. It was as if the five of them hadn’t attacked her just now.
“Boss is so strong!” Luo Lang was dismayed at this scene, while Qi Long and the others all felt regret. Originally, they had thought their combined effort would be a bit troublesome for Boss. Now it seemed that it had no effect at all. As expected, the difference between them and Boss was still too great. They still needed to work harder.
The fellows on the ground were not paying attention, but the Qi Long in mid-air had seen something. When Boss used his right hand to brush his face, it seemed like he had brushed something off when his hand pa.s.sed his mouth area.
Qi Long stared at the right hand Ling Lan used to perform her defensive stance, attempting to look for something… however, he didn’t see anything. He only saw four white and long fingers along with that immovable mountain-like body of Boss’.
After Qi Long and the others took a breather, they attacked once again. Ling Lan didn’t counterattack. She only blocked in a systematic way. The changes in her movements became smaller, but she was still able to intercept all of their attacks with precision and didn’t waste any energy.
At the time, Qi Long and the others had believed that they weren’t able to give Boss too much pressure with their attacks, which was why he wasn’t paying too much attention them. Now, however, Qi Long knew that that was because Boss’ body had reached its limit. He had no choice but to calculate to conserve energy in order to make sure to not waste even one bit.
Just like that, the fight continued for another 10 minutes. After putting in their all, including the energy they used during their fights from before, their energy had been exhausted by quite a lot. They finally felt tired. Qi Long looked around at his comrades and their eyes met. They decided to attack one last time.
However, the Qi Long in mid-air saw that at that moment, all of Boss’ movements were being made purely out of instincts. That was because Boss had already lost consciousness…
Qi Long knew about this because he was fully focused on Ling Lan. He also saw what Ling Lan had hidden on her right hand’s thumb. There was still a smear of blood that hadn’t disappeared yet…
Qi Long couldn’t control himself and squatted down. His entire body shook violently as he held his head tightly, afraid of what was going to happen next…
Two years ago, they had almost killed their most respected Boss. He now knew that at that moment, Boss had been on the verge of death, and those responsible were them, his underlings. If Boss hadn’t broken through and had his energy erupt from inside him, what awaited them may have been a scene of them having killed their own boss…
“No, I don’t want that to happen! I don’t want Boss to die!” Qi Long held his head and shouted angrily. He refused to look at what was going to happen next…
However, how could the images from his memory stop just because he didn’t want to see them?
Luo Lang was the first to jump out and shout, “One-Inch Punch, Level 4!” This was Luo Lang’s strongest physical skill fighting technique. It was a secret family move that was made stronger by Boss through his research.
“Wave Stacking Strike!” This was similar to the One-Inch Punch, but it just had a different way of releasing Qi-Jin. It was a physical skills technique that Ling Lan had exchanged for credits in the learning s.p.a.ce. She taught it to Qi Long and it was also Qi Long’s trump card. Finally, he used it.
“Lightning Dragon Strike!” Xie Yi attacked Boss with a technique that was created from his innate talent combined with pointers from Boss. This was also his trump card.
“Final Strike!” Lin Zhong-qing silently appeared. He sent a strong fist towards a blind spot around Ling Lan’s ribcage that could not be defended.
“Rolling Mines!” Han Jijyun attacked Ling Lan from the side, aiming for the weakest part of Ling Lan’s body at that moment; her lower body.
Faced with this crisis, the unconscious Ling Lan didn’t feel anything. She only unconsciously raised her two hands and reactively intercepted these punches and kicks coming from all directions.
“No!” Terrified, Qi Long screamed out, “Stop!”
At that moment, his eyes that were staring angrily no longer had tears come out of them. Instead, there was blood!
At that moment, Qi Long still hadn’t noticed that the barrier in his body which had been limiting him had broken the instant he cried tears of blood…
