death of hope

Chapter 825: Wild Growth (241) Assassin’s Trap

In just a few minutes, the worms in Tang Zhennan's body used mucus to repair multiple bleeding wounds, leaving not even a scar.

After completing these tasks, the worms exposed to the outside of the body quickly withered and died.
The dried insect corpses fell to the ground and shattered like dead leaves. Once these parasites are separated from the host's nutritional supply, they can only survive in the outside world for a short time.

"Look, this miracle of life is proof that I have become an immortal through cultivation."

Tang Zhennan looked at the perfectly healed wound on his body, raised his chin and said arrogantly:
"The power of the 'Fairy Bug' is truly amazing. Even though I'm old, my physical condition is at its peak. Killing you little Chens is as easy as crushing an ant!"

Seeing Tang Zhennan approaching slowly with a long sword in hand, Chen Hong tapped her heels hard to start the engine, and suddenly grew a few centimeters taller.
It turned out that the stainless steel spikes hidden in the soles of the shoes popped out, just like the non-slip ice climbing shoes worn by scientific expedition team members in cold regions.

"What kind of prop is that? Do you want to kick me to death with the nails on the sole of your shoe~"

Tang Zhennan's face was full of contempt. "Little devil, if you have any tricks, just use them~"

·
Chen Hong took out a test tube-shaped glass bottle and threw it to the ground, breaking it. The green liquid inside quickly spread out.

"Hmph, what a waste of effort~" Tang Zhennan laughed and said, "Kid, your poison will only become food for the 'immortal insect' in my body." As he said that, he thrust his sword forward.

Chen Hong pulled out another test tube-shaped glass bottle and threw it in the direction of the opponent's advance.
After the second bottle broke, a pool of blue liquid flowed out, which quickly mixed with the green liquid on the ground to produce a chemical reaction. It bubbled and turned purple, emitting a pungent smell.

Tang Zhennan suddenly felt his feet sink, as if a monster had grabbed his shoes. He looked down and found that the soles of his shoes were stuck to the purple liquid that was gradually solidifying on the ground.

This is a new product from the chemical giant BASF. After the two agents are mixed, they can quickly become a strong adhesive with strong enough adhesion to repair broken screws. There will be no problem in screwing these screws onto a warship.

While the opponent was unable to move and was confused, Chen Hong threw out three tungsten alloy steel needles in succession. This tiny hidden weapon was difficult to block and had barbs, so once stabbed, it was difficult to remove.

Tang Zhennan reacted very quickly. The sword technique had been integrated into his muscle memory. The blade accurately cut through the shoelaces and the upper. His feet were freed from the restraint of the shoes and jumped high to avoid the attack.

Chen Hong was waiting for this moment. She threw two bottles at once at the position where her opponent was about to land. The blue and green potions quickly mixed into a purple strong adhesive, and Tang Zhennan's socks were stuck.

The steel needles attacked again, and I had no choice but to cut open my socks with the sword and jump again.

The assassin used the same trick again, placing glue at the landing point. This time, the soles of his feet were stuck. If he wanted to get out, he had to cut off his feet.

The old man was like a big rat stuck in a mousetrap, unable to move and feeling anxious and uncomfortable.

The arrogance on Tang Zhennan's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by surprise and helpless rage;
"They actually used glue... shameless bastard! Such a despicable trick!"

"Mr. Tang, don't you look down on us assassins and say that what I use are children's toys~"

Chen Hong returned the other party's ridicule and sarcasm in the same way, and vented her anger.

·
"Little brat...you've pissed me off! Don't even think about leaving your body intact!"

"I should be the one saying this~"

Chen Hong's soles are all made of sharp stainless steel spikes. The surface of the spikes has been specially treated and coated with a layer of DuPont's Teflon non-stick material.

The contact area between the spikes and the ground is very small, so stepping on the glue is like walking on flat ground. The situation suddenly reversed, from the apprentice challenging the master to the apprentice training with wooden stakes.
Chen Hong went around behind Tang Zhennan and threw a few darts at his back and other important organs.
Tang Zhennan couldn't turn around, and he swung his sword backhand to knock down all the darts based on his feeling. His swordsmanship had indeed reached the pinnacle.
However, no matter how good your kung fu is, you can't use it if you are stuck by the glue. Chen Hong doesn't give the opponent a chance to breathe. She moves to the side and throws the last dart.
With Tang Zhennan's strength as a master, he could easily block the attack even if he couldn't move. However, this martial arts fanatic was already tortured by the glue and became anxious and angry. He lost his mind for a while.
The 'Tanyuan Sword' failed to block, and Tang Zhennan groaned, feeling a sharp pain in the side of his ribs.

Chen Hong's throwing force was so strong that almost the entire dart was sunk into the skin, leaving only the red silk at the end of the dart exposed. The poison on the dart was eaten up by the poisonous insects raised in the body. Although he was immune to poison, he was not immune to physical damage. Tang Zhennan's lungs were severely punctured, and some alveoli could no longer contract and breathe normally.

The Gu worm is quite intelligent and can keenly sense when the host's life is threatened. It will quickly go to the lesion site and try to repair the organs and eliminate the threat.
However, the dart penetrated too deeply and had insidious wolf-fang barbs that lodged firmly in the flesh. The tiny worm was unable to push it out of the body, like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Tang Zhennan spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow!". Due to the injury to his lungs, his breathing had become difficult.

Chen Xing shouted ecstatically on the sidelines: "Well done! Take advantage of his illness! Kill him!"

·
Chen Hong had used up all the hidden weapons and props on her body. With the help of her shoe spikes that could move freely on the glue, she could even run behind her opponent to pick up weapons without hindrance. However, she found that both ice axes were firmly stuck to the ground by the glue, so she had to give up.

"Come on! Little brat! Come face to face! Fight me!"

Due to pain and anger, Tang Zhennan's expression became distorted and terrifying. He bared his teeth like a mad dog, drooling from the corners of his mouth. There was no trace of the immortal master's demeanor.

Chen Hong deliberately provoked him, hooking her finger provocatively: "Come here, Mr. Tang, are you scared?

The year when the Tang Clan was wiped out, our master led my brother and me into the Tangjiazhuang Ancestral Hall. All your disciples were cowards who begged us to show mercy. In order to save their own lives, they were willing to abandon their master and smash the ancestral tablets.

When the Tang Clan was flourishing, you beasts burned, killed, and looted in Chenjia Village, leaving bones all over the ground and your cries shook the sky...

Now that the Chen family has the Shanwang Club as their financial backer, the offensive and defensive positions have changed! How can they forget the blood feud?
We hung all your disciples and grandchildren on the beams of the Tang Clan's ancestral hall, neatly arranged like dried bacon.

This is all because of you, Tang Zhennan. It was you who slaughtered women and children, broke the rules of the martial arts world, and escalated the clan conflict into an endless blood feud.
When we came with fire and sword to take revenge, you, a coward, betrayed the Tang Sect.

You escaped into the deep forest, dug graves to find the sword, and studied those disgusting insects. The Tang Sect disciples were still chanting your name before they died.

On the day when the Tang Clan’s ancestral hall was burned down, the flames rising into the sky could be seen from the distant mountains. However, you, the Tang Clan’s grandmaster, turned a blind eye to it and watched the fire from the other side of the river.

It was you who betrayed your master! Tang Zhennan! You are such an unfaithful, unfilial, and unrighteous person! You still have the nerve to say that you want to revive the Tang Sect. It's so funny!"

·
Chen Xing on the sidelines was stunned. He didn't expect that his sister, who was usually taciturn, could become so eloquent. Her vicious and sharp words went straight to the heart of her opponent, and every sentence was a critical hit.

Tang Zhennan was completely devastated by what he heard. He covered his ears and yelled, "Shut up! I didn't betray the Tang Sect!

I am the reincarnation of our great master Tang Tianci! I am destined to revive the Tang Clan's reputation!"

Tang Zhennan howled hysterically, his mind in a state of confusion. Chen Hong took the opportunity to get close to him from behind and suddenly used the Shaolin style's 'Mandarin Duck Continuous Kick'.
This move originally relied on speed rather than strength, and had a fast start but limited destructive power. However, the addition of steel nails to the soles made it different, severely damaging the opponent's arm.

Tang Zhennan's arm was pierced by the shoe nails, causing the weapon to fall out of his hand. Chen Hong turned over and caught the hilt of the sword, then jumped back to avoid the old man's wildly swinging fists.

"Give it back to me! That's the sword of my Tang Sect's founder!"

Tang Zhennan wanted to chase after him and take back the sword, but the soles of his feet were firmly fixed to the ground by super glue and he could not move a step.

Chen Hong stared at the three ancient seal characters "Tanyuan Sword" etched on the sword's spine:

“This sword…has taken the lives of so many people in my Chen clan?!
I will take revenge today!"
