Chapter 2017: Chapter 2013: Together Through Life and Death, Never Abandoning Each Other
Under the scorching sun, Liu Mengting saw a figure at the entrance of the square. It was an incredibly familiar shadow that she longed for day and night.
"Tang Ming!"
Liu Mengting propped herself up and looked at Tang Ming in horror: "You should leave, don’t worry about me!"
Tang Ming strode towards Liu Mengting, no longer hiding his presence. He knew very well that his every move was being watched, and the square was full of people inside and out, but he still came.
"Why did you come, why did you come?"
Seeing Tang Ming approaching her, Liu Mengting cried incessantly.
"Live and die together, never leave nor forsake."
Tang Ming stopped and looked at Liu Mengting with determination.
"Ah, how touching."
At this moment, a strange laugh sounded: "I didn’t expect the decisive Tang to be so sentimental; it’s truly admirable!"
Looking up, Tang Ming saw Wu Tian, Yan Nantian, and Mo Wenming sitting in the grandstand, watching him with amusement, while the seats around the square were filled with armed personnel.
"Dragon Fang, Dragon Group, and the Ming Group, the three special departments use such means to catch me, against a weak woman no less; you really are shameless!"
Tang Ming coldly glared at the three on the platform.
"No choice, you kept hiding like a turtle in its shell, refusing to come out, so we had to use this method to force you to show yourself."
Wu Tian shrugged indifferently.
"Now I’m here, let Liu Mengting go."
Tang Ming took a deep breath and straightened his back: "Release her, and you can do whatever you want with me."
"Hmph! Do you think you still have the right to negotiate with us?"
Mo Wenming sneered disdainfully.
The next moment, a large number of armed individuals poured in from all entrances of the square, and those in the stands jumped into the square, forming a tight circle around Tang Ming.
"Tang Ming!"
Seeing Tang Ming surrounded, Liu Mengting could do nothing but cry.
"Quite the spectacle."
Tang Ming glanced around and looked at Wu Tian and the others with disdain: "But with this trash trying to kill me, you’re on a suicide mission. Release Liu Mengting, and I won’t resist, how’s that?"
"What if you resist?"
Wu Tian looked at Tang Ming with a mocking grin, "You’re already trapped in our net, how we deal with you and Liu Mengting is entirely up to us."
"Sigh! As a victim of the Dragon Group, Dragon Fang, and the Ming Group, Liu Mengting can’t possibly leave alive today, or else our organizations’ reputations will be ruined."
Yan Nantian sighed helplessly, trying to remind Tang Ming of the current situation.
"Just as expected!"
Tang Ming pursed his lips, having anticipated that these people would silence them, but reluctant to accept it.
These three organizations are special units, and as the protagonist of a live broadcast, Liu Mengting has been seen by the world. If she were to live and speak out, it would surely provoke outrage.
At that time, even the Dragon Group couldn’t withstand media pressure and would have to take responsibility.
And now, with Tang Ming’s appearance, the live broadcast had stopped, and not many knew those three organizations were behind everything. If they eliminated Liu Mengting, the matter would be completely buried.
So from the start, Wu Tian and his group never intended to spare Liu Mengting. Even if not killed to silence, she would be imprisoned for life.
"Enough talking. Now that you’ve fallen into our net, if you’re smart, surrender and don’t waste energy."
Wu Tian shouted impatiently at Tang Ming.
"If I’m doomed, then why not take a few more down with me."
Tang Ming laughed, summoning his Vigorous Air Armor: "I’m here now, let’s see what skills you have to capture me. Even in death, I’ll make sure you pay dearly."
"Why do you have to do this? Leave quickly, don’t worry about me."
Seeing Tang Ming preparing to fight, Liu Mengting struggled and tearfully pleaded.
"Liu Mengting, if we can’t live together, then let’s die together."
Tang Ming let out a long howl and transformed into a phantom rushing toward Liu Mengting.
"Stop him, get him alive."
Wu Tian decisively ordered, and a group of armed men immediately launched a ferocious attack on Tang Ming.
Mo Wenming gestured with his hand, and over ten Martial Generals from the Dragon Group surrounded Liu Mengting to prevent Tang Ming from rescuing her.
Now the situation was very clear, as long as Liu Mengting was controlled, it meant Tang Ming was restrained, and the only thing left was to slowly exhaust Tang Ming.
"Lord Mo, why not let the experts of the Dragon Group make a move directly?"
Yan Nantian asked Mo Wenming with a troubled expression: "The people of the Ming Group and Dragon Fang are no match for Tang Ming; sending them is simply sacrificing them."
Watching Tang Ming effortlessly take out members of Dragon Fang and the Ming Group like slicing vegetables, Mo Wenming looked indifferent: "Tang Ming is very strong, and our Shield Formation has flaws; we can’t trap him smoothly. If we rashly engage, we also risk being killed by a crazed Tang Ming, so we need your people to exhaust his strength first. Only then can we strike effectively."
"You... Lord Wu Tian."
Yan Nantian looked at Wu Tian with a livid face.
"Is there a problem? Protecting the elite and the experts of the Dragon Group is the right choice."
Wu Tian glanced at Yan Nantian expressionlessly. Dragon Fang hadn’t been established long, and its members were merely martial masters. Even if they all died, it wouldn’t compare to losing a Martial General. He believed this was the right decision.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Mo Wenming and Wu Tian’s cold indifference and disregard for the lives below, Yan Nantian was both furious and helpless. In any war, there were always sacrifices, and now the members of the Ming Group and Dragon Fang were just cannon fodder against Tang Ming, leaving him with no solution.
Surrounded by a thousand people, Tang Ming supported his Vigorous Air Armor, continuously unleashing powerful attacks of the Huaxia Secret Technique, causing massive waves of energy.
Tang Ming knew he was in a dire situation today, and now, more than ever, he needed to kill and stir unrest to attract outside attention. When he’s overwhelmed, the Martial Arts world would target the Dragon Group.
"No wonder it’s the Huaxia Secret Technique, its power is enormous!"
Wu Tian leaned forward, watching Tang Ming below with excitement.
"It indeed drives the entire Martial Arts world crazy, luckily we decided to use manpower to tire him out, otherwise there would have been significant casualties among the Dragon Group."
Mo Wenming nodded repeatedly with clarity.
Yan Nantian watched the crowd below with a pained expression. In just a short while, dozens of his subordinates were severely injured or even killed by Tang Ming. At this rate, even if they could exhaust Tang Ming, the resources of the Ming Group and Dragon Fang would be completely depleted.
