My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2023: Chapter 2019: Overestimated

The martial artists who had been concealing themselves in the Imperial City were mostly led by Tang Ming to the outskirts of the Martial Arts tournament base. Upon sensing the strong energy fluctuations from within, they realized Tang Ming had already confronted the Ming Group and Dragon Group.

Seeing Tang Ming alone able to cause such a commotion, all these individuals went crazy, convinced that the Huaxia Secret Technique was exerting its power. Immediately, this group from various factions but sharing a common goal began to frantically charge towards the Martial Arts tournament base, rushing to the energy center.

The Ming Group and Dragon Group’s massive forces played their role in the fight against Tang Ming, receiving orders from superiors to block the invading enemies. Both forces soon clashed together.

The entire Martial Arts tournament base plunged into chaos as countless masked, identity-concealed martial artists engaged in a chaotic battle against the well-equipped Ming Group and Dragon Group personnel. One side was frantically trying to reach the center of the fight, while the other relied on powerful firepower to fiercely obstruct.

These martial artists all wanted to catch Tang Ming, but they knew clearly that if others discovered they captured Tang Ming, they’d likely become a target for everyone. Thus, nearly everyone concealed their identity and appearance just in case.

While Tang Ming maneuvered with Chu Zhaoliang and others, the melee outside also began.

The fight hadn’t gone on long when a violent explosion happened at the Martial Arts Square direction. Watching the mushroom cloud rise into the sky, feeling the ground shake violently underfoot, everyone was stupefied, pausing their actions to stare at the explosion’s direction.

"The fight over there has ended, let’s hurry over!"

After a while, someone reacted first, shouted, prompting all the martial artists to fall into a frenzy.

The fight had already ended, meaning Tang Ming might have fallen into someone’s hands. If they arrived too late, the trip would be wasted.

In the explosion square, the energy was gone, and Tang Ming, having lost combat ability, thought this time would be worse than the last backlash, as he had no resistance to the explosion’s shock wave at all. Yet...

When Tang Ming opened his eyes, he saw himself being shielded by a huge white monster, which used its body to protect Tang Ming from all the explosion impacts.

"Is this a Spirit Demon?"

Tang Ming looked questioningly at the giant monster glowing white.

This thing seemed very similar to Hua Luoying and Zhang Baobao’s Spirit Demon; it should be Liu Mengting’s protective Spirit Demon. Only then did Tang Ming recall Liu Mengting pleading into the void before leaving; was she asking this creature for protection?

"Cough, cough, such powerful methods."

As Tang Ming was bewildered, a weak coughing sound arose.

Tang Ming’s expression slightly changed, quickly looking up to see the bloodied and tattered Chu Zhaoliang crawl out from a nearby pile of stones.

"You’re actually not dead yet?"

Tang Ming glared at Chu Zhaoliang in displeasure, glanced around at other directions, and saw Wu Tian and other Dragon Group martial generals blasted into oblivion, Mo Wenming charred, incomplete limbs lying at the explosion’s edge, life status unknown.

His move exploded more than a dozen martial generals, and even severely injured the Three-star Martial General Chu Zhaoliang, indicating the terrifying power.

"Boy, fortunately you didn’t merge those two Energy Balls. Otherwise, even I might’ve been blasted into oblivion!"

Chu Zhaoliang managed to prop his body up, walking difficultly towards Tang Ming, feeling a surge of fear knowing if Tang Ming merged the two Energy Balls, the explosion power would increase several times, and he wouldn’t survive.

"Seems I still overestimated myself."

Tang Ming propped his body up, gritting his teeth: "If two energies merged, positioned right at the blast center, I’d certainly die. But indeed, the power would multiply several times. Not just you, everyone here would be wiped to flat ground."

"Haha, pity you didn’t take us down together. Seems you aren’t the legendary undying, yet Liu Mengting turns out to be the one with the Undying Body, it’s quite surprising."

Chu Zhaoliang wiped away blood, staring intently at Tang Ming: "However, you possess so many secret techniques, and even stronger methods than Huaxia Secret Technique. Bringing you back is more valuable than capturing someone undying."

"Director Chu, you’re also stretched thin, and I have this big guy helping me, trying to catch me is wishful thinking."

Tang Ming looked disdainfully at Chu Zhaoliang. He intended to stall for time, awaiting Xiao Honghong’s support.

"Cough, cough, even if you gamble life, an old man like me lived a long time and doesn’t fear death."

Chu Zhaoliang coldly laughed, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his injury.

"Roar!"

Behind Tang Ming, the white monster roared, blocking the path, its sharp claws shimmering in cold light positioned forward.

"What exactly is this thing?"

Seeing the monster behave this way, Chu Zhaoliang felt apprehensive. If during his peak he wouldn’t fear, but now, severely injured, he had no confidence!

"Hahaha, Chu Zhaoliang, now let me finish things."

At this moment, a voice breaking the silence erupted.

"Hmm?"

Tang Ming and Chu Zhaoliang simultaneously looked towards the direction of the voice.

Two figures crossed the square railing, quickly approaching.

"Bad news!"

Seeing these individuals, Tang Ming’s expression darkened.

"Ye Xunhuan!"

Chu Zhaoliang grimly stared at one among them, a person with only two fingers on his left hand.

"Heh, I don’t use that name now. My name’s now Left Hand Smoking, Right Hand Killing."

The left hand landed and grinned.

"I’m Hua Luoying, one of the Hua Family brothers you were aiming to capture."

Hua Luoying excitedly stared at the white monster before Tang Ming: "Wow, it truly is a Spirit Demon! Tang Ming is just like me, undying indeed!"

"Bastard, what are you intending running into the country, daring to meddle with Dragon Group’s affairs, do you have a death wish?"

Chu Zhaoliang angrily glared at Hua Luoying and Left Hand.

"Old Chu, even like this you threaten me, do you think I’d fear?"

Left Hand disdainfully curled his lips: "Did you forget who revealed Tang Ming’s true details to you? Spreading the news was meant to incite mutual destruction, now it’s chaotic outside, time for us to reap the benefits."

"Your plan to sow discord was brilliant, not only smoothly capturing Tang Ming, but once the conflict between domestic martial artists and Dragon Group erupts, it’ll be chaos in the world, allowing us to enjoy the spoils."

Hua Luoying gazed admiringly at Left Hand.
