Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 577 Gao Chong: Here I come! [2 Updates]

"Shh-"

The previous slash was an upward sweep, but this one is a horizontal slash, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!

The accumulated momentum led to this explosive attack. Lian Xinlong's strike was fast, ruthless, and precise, as if it would cut Gao Chong in half!
Zong Baoguo and Wang Jing both felt their hearts leap into their throats:

"Be careful--"

In their eyes, Lian Xinlong's slash was as fast as lightning, incredibly powerful, and vicious, making it impossible to defend against!
However, to their surprise, Gao Chong remained calm and composed, took a step to the side, and twisted the spear forcefully!
"Shh-"

The tiger-headed, gold-inlaid spear danced with dazzling, wheel-like flourishes, striking the blade with tremendous force!

"when--"

With a clang of metal on metal, Lian Xinlong's blade was struck by the spear and fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string!
Lian Xinlong thrust the blade into the ground and, as if performing a pole vault, lunged at Gao Chong like Mount Tai crashing down on him!

Because Lian Xinlong's sudden attack, abandoning his sword and leaping forward, was too unexpected, Gao Chong didn't have time to change his move...

broken!

Zong Baoguo and Wang Jing felt a chill run down their spines, knowing that Lian Xinlong was a towering giant, standing a full ten feet tall!

Gao Chong had just entered puberty and was only a little over seven feet tall. Compared to Lian Xinlong, he was practically a child!

If Lian Xinlong were to pin Gao Chong down, he'd probably shit himself...

Just as Zong Baoguo and Wang Jing were worried about Gao Chong, they saw Gao Chong throw down his gun and fall backward!
As he fell, Gao Chong kicked the gun barrel, which immediately stood upright.
"Shh-"

The sharp spearhead thrusts diagonally upwards; if the Heart-Piercing Dragon were to pounce down, it would be pierced through by the spearhead first!

Lian Xinlong was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he used all his strength to defecate while he was in mid-air!
In a split second, Lian Xinlong struggled and avoided vital points in his chest and abdomen, but he was still pierced through!
"Pfft!"

The sharp spearhead pierced through Lian Xinlong's shoulder and easily penetrated his body!
The Lianxinlong was already heavy, and with the force of its pounce, it immediately crushed Gao Chong!
This also means that the tiger-head gold-inlaid spear pierced him from the tip all the way to the point!

Blood was dripping from the gun barrel!

After paying such a high price, Lian Xinlong finally pinned Gao Chong down!

"Roar--"

Lian Xinlong's face was contorted with rage as he grabbed Gao Chong's chest with both hands, intending to use his immense strength to tear a living person apart!
However, to his surprise, Gao Chong's power far exceeded his expectations!

His hands gripped Gao Chong's chest, while Gao Chong's hands gripped his wrists at the same time!
"Crack! Crack!"

Gao Chong grabbed Lian Xinlong's wrists and twisted them hard!
Instantly, Lian Xinlong felt a terrifying force, like a tidal wave, unstoppable!
With two sharp cracks, Lian Xinlong's arms were twisted off by Gao Chong!
Lian Xinlong was both shocked and furious, and he slammed his head hard into Gao Chong's forehead!

"Oh!"

Their foreheads collided heavily, and this time Gao Chong finally suffered the loss...

Caught off guard, Gao Chong's head was buzzing from the impact of Lian Xinlong's collision. Lian Xinlong seized the opportunity to get up and run away!
He couldn't care about anything else; all Lian Xinlong wanted was to escape as quickly as possible, as far away as possible!

Zong Baoguo and Wang Jing were dumbfounded, watching as Lian Xinlong, a giant over ten feet tall, swung his two limp, dead snake-like severed arms around, covered in blood, and ran away at full speed!
The spearhead of the tiger-head gold-inlaid spear protruded from its shoulder, and the long shaft of the tiger-head gold-inlaid spear trailed behind its back...

Gao Chong stood up, shook his still slightly dizzy head, and picked up the fan-shaped knife that Lian Xinlong had dropped:

Leave you!

"Whoosh-"

The fan-shaped dagger resembled a javelin, which Gao Chong hurled at Lian Xinlong with all his might!
"Pfft!"

Lian Xinlong, who was running at full speed, suddenly shuddered as a gleaming blade pierced out from his chest!

Lian Xinlong lunged forward a few more steps due to inertia before his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground... "Huff, huff, huff..."

This was the first time Gao Chong had encountered such a formidable enemy.

In fact, Lian Xinlong was completely outmatched by him in terms of speed, strength, and swordsmanship.

The only thing that sets him apart is his combat experience.

This is also because he had too much luck before; he could kill almost any opponent with a single shot.

Therefore, it was only at this point that Gao Chong finally had a thoroughly enjoyable battle, a battle that had an unprecedented impact on him.

Putting aside his underestimation of his opponent, Gao Chong braved the raging wind and rain to walk forward and pull out the tiger-head gold-inlaid spear from Lian Xinlong's body.

Strangely enough, as he drew his gun, the torrential rain gradually subsided.

A large amount of blood flowed from Lian Xinlong's body, mixing with the rainwater and making him appear as if he were soaking in a pool of blood.

"Crack!"

A flurry of footsteps approached, and Gao Chong turned his head to see a man with a leopard's head, round eyes, a swallow's jaw, and a tiger's beard—it was Lin Chong.

Lin Chong, soaked to the bone, ran forward and glanced at Lian Xinlong lying in a pool of blood:

"Chong'er, are you hurt anywhere?"

"Uncle Lin, I'm fine."

Lin Chong then looked at Niu Gao, Dong Xian, and others who were fighting with Jin Yan and Li Zhishan.

Jin Yan and Li Zhishan were already dead, lying in the mud like puddles of mud, with a trickle of black blood flowing from their mouths.

Niu Gao was panting heavily: "We held them down, but who knew they would take poison..."

That means there are no survivors...

Lin Chong checked on the condition of Lian Xinlong, Jin Yan, and Li Zhishan, and sighed helplessly.

Then he quickly checked on the wounded on the scene, and to Zong Baoguo's surprise, he was the first one to be checked.

Zong Baoguo remembered Lin Chong, this guy with a leopard's head, round eyes, swallow's jaw, and tiger's beard, who was then by the side of the Prince of Qi.

This deeply moved Zong Baoguo. He had often been injured before, but none of the officials in the court cared.

After examining Zong Baoguo's injuries, Lin Chong instructed the soldiers of the Big Sword Battalion to help treat him.

Then Lin Chong went to look at Wang Jing, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. He couldn't help but ask him:
"Aren't you Brother Wang Jin?"

Wang Jing had been awkwardly keeping his head down, but Lin Chong still recognized him, so he had no choice but to raise his head.
"Brother Lin Chong, it's been a long time..."

In fact, the two had already met before.

Lin Chong didn't recognize Wang Jin, who was using the alias "Wang Jing," because he was among the more than 300 contestants and hadn't been seen for many years and looked different.

Although Wang Jin recognized Lin Chong, the difference in their social status was too great, so Wang Jin did not dare to greet him.

Wang Jin is none other than the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards who was suppressed and fled by Gao Qiu at the beginning of "Water Margin"!

During his escape, he took "Nine-Dragon" Shi Jin as his apprentice and trained him into "Eight Cavalrymen" in half a year!
Because he had served under General Zhong, he was not given important positions due to his lack of seniority and military achievements.

Having learned that the King of Qi was convening a grand gathering of the greatest heroes in the land, he traveled a great distance to try his luck.

He was a contestant, while Lin Chong was a favorite of the Prince of Qi. How could he rashly acknowledge Lin Chong as his own?
