Chapter 2290 - 2290 2280 One Punch

2290: Chapter 2280: One Punch 2290: Chapter 2280: One Punch With Feng Ci joining the team, it actually gave Long Yan a lot of relief.

Feng Ci, seemingly encouraged by the two women, roared and charged at the sight of Puppets, with Sword Qi flying in all directions.

Long Yan could use this time to properly nourish his body and speed up the recovery of his internal injuries.

Up to now, they have encountered roughly three waves of Puppets, but the attacks of the Puppets were becoming increasingly difficult.

Even hoping to show diligence in front of the two women seemed beyond his strength.

Seeing Long Yan at ease to one side, Feng Ci felt full of dissatisfaction.

Why, despite fighting enemies desperately, he couldn’t gain the favor of his “goddesses,” while Long Yan easily enjoyed their care?

Thus, a conflict within this small team was born.

“Junior Sister Lingxi, our progress is too slow.”

Feng Ci pretended to mention casually, but at that moment he sneakily glanced at Long Yan, and seeing the latter looking at him, Feng Ci continued.

“It’s not good if someone in the team is always slacking off.”

Hearing this, Lingxi frowned deeply.

Wasn’t he implying something about her Big Brother Yan?

Lingxi, who loved everything associated with Long Yan, began to dislike Feng Ci from the bottom of her heart, but outwardly she still gave a non-committal response.

Seeing Lingxi’s completely disinterested face, Feng Ci felt a surge of proud satisfaction.

He felt like he had almost pointed at Long Yan’s nose and spoken out; he didn’t believe Lingxi couldn’t understand.

Seeing the expression on Lingxi’s face, Feng Ci decided to push harder; he was almost beyond reasoning normally at this point.

Feng Ci walked in front of Long Yan and looked down arrogantly at Long Yan who was still nourishing his body, seemingly oblivious to the presence of anyone in front of him until he slowly opened his eyes with a puzzled expression, as if to ask Feng Ci if he needed something.

“Get up and scout ahead,”

Feng Ci declared haughtily as if proclaiming himself the center of the team, starting to order Long Yan around.

In his view, Long Yan must be lacking in ability; otherwise, he would have been eagerly rushing to the front to showcase his prowess to Lingxi.

Part of his strategy involved waiting for Long Yan to panic under the Puppets’ onslaught, allowing Feng Ci to step in and swiftly defeat the enemy.

How could he then worry about not earning the favor of the two goddesses?

Thinking this, Feng Ci felt utterly delighted.

He had already fantasized the goddesses throwing themselves into his arms, which nearly made his soul leave his body out of ecstasy.

Long Yan looked strangely at Feng Ci, whose expressions fluctuated between smiles and dazes, wondering if the continuous pressure of fighting enemies along the way might have affected Feng Ci’s mental state.

“Then I’ll go,”

After thinking for a bit, Long Yan spoke.

He had indeed troubled Feng Ci along the way, and after a lengthy recovery, Long Yan’s internal injuries were healed by eighty to ninety percent.

Although the recovery of his True Qi was scantily poor, it was enough.

Seeing Long Yan stand up, both Luo Pin and Lingxi stood up as well, signaling that they wanted to accompany Long Yan.

His Combat Power had recovered by a large margin, and if any danger arose, he believed he could ensure the safety of the two women.

Long Yan simply agreed, and Lingxi clung to Long Yan’s arm, casting a disdainful look at Feng Ci without saying much more.

Feng Ci, still lost in his daydreams, didn’t even notice the departure of the three.

“Big Brother Yan, why did you have to invite such an annoying person to join us?”

Having moved a little further away, Lingxi complained to Long Yan, already fed up with handling numerous flirtations on a daily basis, the relentless chatter of Feng Ci made her even more exasperated, mainly because Long Yan had shown no reaction to Feng Ci’s overt attentiveness, while watching a serious Long Yan attuning himself to their surroundings.

Lingxi felt she couldn’t really get angry, only managed to mutter ‘blockhead’ indignantly before turning her head to one side, which caused Luo Pin to cover her mouth and giggle gently.

Long Yan had once attempted, at the beginning in the corridors, those puppets were much stronger than the ones they encountered now, the current batch of puppets were like mere foot soldiers, the difference in strength was more than just a little, even with the increase provided by a formation, it was still significantly inferior.

While they were talking, a squad of creatures similar to the previous puppets appeared in front of them, the weapons in their hands still gleaming with a cold light, looking completely different from those they had encountered before.

“Brother Yan, can you really handle it now?”

Seeing the puppets that were different both in number and quality, Lingxi genuinely worried for Long Yan, but seeing his eager look, she did not say much and instead explained the intricacies of how the Great Formation operated to Long Yan.

“Relax, when has your Brother Yan ever had a problem?”

Long Yan smiled at Lingxi and then forcefully stamped his right foot on the ground, the Martial God Array behind him shimmering, crimson red True Qi converging in Long Yan’s hands.

With a mere punch thrown fiercely, the puppet soldiers seemed to sense Long Yan’s attack and unexpectedly pulled out shields from behind them, attempting to block Long Yan.

This scene made Lingxi exclaim in surprise; those shields looked immensely heavy, likely all fashioned of fine steel, suggesting that the owner of the mausoleum truly possessed wealth rivaling that of a nation a thousand years ago.

But this did not stop Long Yan’s attack in the slightest, the punch mixed with a sonic boom shattered all things before him, a grand wave of impact exploded forward from Long Yan, the immense momentum threw all the defending puppets into the air.

Lingxi’s mouth fell open in astonishment, although it had been a long time since she had seen Long Yan, she did not expect Long Yan’s strength to be so terrifying, wondering when her Big Brother Yan had become so powerful.

It seemed that Long Yan’s previous promise to take her to conquer the Holy Domain was no idle talk.

A golden light flashed across Long Yan’s eyes, and the Lu Xian Sword appeared in his hand, instantly chopping the bizarre statues before him into countless pieces.

The surrounding puppet soldiers, slowed by the breakage of the statues, were swiftly met by Long Yan’s Big Hand waving, all the stars behind him transformed into long swords falling towards the ground, the puppets were pierced by the starry long swords and shattered into myriad pieces.

“It’s that simple?”

Even Lingxi couldn’t help but gasp; Long Yan had disposed of the puppet soldiers so effortlessly.

Long Yan was also curious about his own strength, as it should not have been this formidable before, yet an increase in strength was indeed a good thing.

“This is the reward of the Heavenly Thunder when you obtained the Martial God Array, and it was exactly with the aid of your recent healing that I drew it forth!”

As Long Yan puzzled over this, Yun Huang’s voice appeared within his mind, revealing the origin of his enhanced physique.

Hearing this, Long Yan felt relieved, for a further strengthened body was certainly a fortunate matter.
