Chapter 2018: Chapter 2014: Director of Discipline Chu Zhaoliang
Faced with this tide-like enemy, Tang Ming also felt strained. Although his attacks were immensely powerful, there were simply too many of them.
If it were just the people besieging him now, he could break through and escape at any time, but the problem was that Liu Mengting was held captive by them. He couldn’t leave, so he could only fight.
"Mo Wenming, Wu Tian, you shameless bastards, aren’t you eager to know the secrets I hold? I’ll show you today just how powerful Tang Ming really is."
Amidst the slaughter, Tang Ming suddenly roared angrily to the sky. A black array plate of Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes appeared beneath his feet, and simultaneously, large amounts of black mist began to spread in all directions.
"Is this the Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes?"
Wu Tian stood up abruptly, "Back when he dueled with a master from Japan, he claimed to be a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Could it be true?"
"Bullshit! I talked with Zhuge Guang from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect before, and he said Tang Ming learned the Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes from a traitor of the sect. He’s not really from the sect."
Mo Wenming sneered disdainfully, excitedly staring at Tang Ming: "Huaxia Secret Technique, Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes, this kid sure has a lot of good stuff on him. If we can capture him and force out these two cultivation techniques, the strength of the Dragon Group will increase tremendously, and it won’t be long before the Dragon Group becomes the most powerful martial arts power in the country."
"Among the eight great martial arts skills in the martial world, there’s this extraordinary Huaxia Secret Technique. When combined with the high-tech methods mastered by the Dragon Group today, not to mention domestically, the Dragon Group could even become the strongest in the world."
Wu Tian’s eyes shone with excitement as he clenched his fists.
"Is it over?"
As Mo Wenming and Wu Tian were discussing, Yan Nantian, who had been watching the battlefield, suddenly had a drastic change in expression.
At this moment, over a thousand people who had previously besieged Tang Ming on the square had all fallen to the ground, completely lost their combat power, while Tang Ming, gasping for breath, was striding towards Liu Mengting.
"What’s going on?"
Wu Tian stared at Tang Ming in disbelief, "Call for reinforcements quickly."
"Understood!"
Yan Nantian swallowed hard and immediately informed the follow-up forces outside the square to come in.
A large number of fully armed troops rushed into the square again, but before they could get close to Tang Ming, they all inexplicably fell to the ground.
"Don’t come out to embarrass yourself if you’re just small fry. Do you have any high-end power? Bring it out and let me see."
Tang Ming stopped in his tracks, observing the One-star Martial Generals surrounding Liu Mengting, and shouted disdainfully.
At this moment, the Martial Generals of the Dragon Group, each supporting Vigorous Air Armor and holding silver shields, had erected a barrier that enveloped themselves and Liu Mengting. Although this thing had flaws and couldn’t trap Tang Ming, it was more than enough to trap Liu Mengting and ensure their own safety.
"There’s poison! Everyone stop your attack immediately."
Yan Nantian urgently commanded his subordinates, realizing that in this situation, ordinary people were already useless. No matter how many rushed in, they would still be poisoned.
"What’s going on? When did he manage to poison our territory?"
Mo Wenming stared at Wu Tian with furrowed brows.
"I don’t know either. We set the ambush for him. How did it end up like this?"
Wu Tian was equally baffled.
"Well, well, Tang Ming really is surprising. Not only does he have the Huaxia Secret Technique and Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes, but he also knows the Thousand Evil Poison Technique. You’ve mastered two of the eight great martial arts skills of the martial world. Impressive, impressive!"
At this moment, a deep, resonant voice suddenly sounded.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses and a suit appeared before Tang Ming. The newcomer was pot-bellied, bald, and looked rather sleazy.
"Director Chu!"
Seeing who it was, Tang Ming’s expression turned grave. He knew this Skynet was not so simple. If it were just Wu Tian and Mo Wenming, he was confident he could defeat them all. But how could they not have prepared?
Chu Zhaoliang, director of Imperial University’s discipline, was in fact a super-expert managing the martial arts disciples at Imperial University. When Sakai Ryuuichi wiped out the small martial world, Chu Zhaoliang scared off the arrogant Sakai Ryuuichi with just a stamp of his foot. He was also one of the veterans who fought in the ninja wars with Japan back then, so his strength was self-evident.
"Little Tang! You really know how to surprise people! When Sakai Ryuuichi caused trouble at Imperial University for the Huaxia Secret Technique, you defeated him using the Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes. No one, including myself, expected that you would be the heir to the Huaxia Secret Technique."
Chu Zhaoliang looked at Tang Ming with a complex expression: "Even that aside, we didn’t expect you to also inherit the Thousand Evil Poison Technique. You are like an encyclopedia of martial arts dagger arts, a talent that would be a pity not to serve the nation!"
"Director Chu, you should know that I’m with the Dark Group, and I’ve always been working for them. Isn’t that serving the nation? Yet what was the outcome?"
Tang Ming stared at Chu Zhaoliang with a grim face, speaking through clenched teeth: "I devised a plan to lure the Hua brothers and Heavenly Wolf Palace people to the country, yet you turned against me for the secrets I carry. Is this what you call a pity?"
"This... for the greater good, small matters can be overlooked."
Chu Zhaoliang gave an awkward smile, "In consideration of Yun Potian’s past achievements in repelling the Ninja Army from Japan, as long as you hand over the Huaxia Secret Technique, Thousand Evil Poison Technique, and the cultivation methods of the Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes, I can ensure the safety of you, Liu Mengting, and your loved ones.
Acquiring these things will greatly boost the capabilities of the Dragon Group, essentially strengthening the power of Huaxia Martial Arts, and that is the greater good."
"Bullshit! Robbing and pillaging, yet acting righteous, you shameless bastard."
Hearing this, Tang Ming couldn’t help but curse: "In the end, it’s just you coveting my cultivation techniques. You talk about strengthening the Dragon Group, but deep down, you know who can actually cultivate these things."
"So you refuse to submit?"
Chu Zhaoliang raised his eyebrows.
"Director Chu, there’s no need to waste words with him. Just take him down directly."
Mo Wenming jumped to Chu Zhaoliang’s side, speaking coldly: "Once he’s in our hands, we’ll naturally find a way to make him talk."
"Indeed, I didn’t expect to have gained so much from this beyond just the secret techniques."
Wu Tian also jumped over, staring greedily at Tang Ming.
"Hey! Little Tang, for me to serve as director at Imperial University, managing the talented disciples from major martial arts powers and even super martial arts families, my own strength is not weak at all."
Chu Zhaoliang sighed, calmly looking at Tang Ming: "Although you have mastered many legendary skills, your own cultivation is ultimately too weak to be my match."
"I still want to give it a try."
Tang Ming squinted his eyes, glaring at Chu Zhaoliang: "I just want to ask one thing: are you the strongest in this operation to capture me?"
