Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world
Chapter 77 Cut the weeds and nip them in the bud
Although Cheng Xiaotian was filled with doubts, now that the two sides were enemies and the other party had such high potential, he had to eliminate him here.
Otherwise, if the opponent's strength increases further, it will be a disaster for the Cheng and Xiao families.
Thinking this, his body surged with intense Yang energy, and he stomped his feet hard on the ground, unleashing the Blazing Sun Burning River technique.
Several waves of golden true energy spread along the highway, the scorching energy making the road surface hot, attempting to block Luo Lingtian's movement.
Luo Lingtian's Tai Chi steps were executed to their fullest extent, his figure weaving through the powerful waves as if taking a leisurely stroll.
While avoiding the scorching energy, the left hand transforms into a Tai Chi circular force to deflect the aftershocks, while the right hand condenses the tiger-shaped force of Xingyi Quan and slams a punch into the ground.
The martial arts energy rebounded from the ground and collided with Cheng Xiaotian's true energy wave. The two forces annihilated each other, creating a gust of wind that pressed the bushes on both sides flat to the ground.
Seeing his move broken, Cheng Xiaotian laughed in anger, his inner energy surging wildly, and the golden halo around his body almost solidified, clearly indicating that he was about to unleash a powerful move.
Luo Lingtian also abandoned his contempt. He channeled his internal martial arts energy throughout his body, blending the fluidity of Tai Chi, the power of Bajiquan, and the speed of Xingyiquan, waiting for his opponent to make a move.
On the highway under the cover of night, two terrifying forces confronted each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Suddenly, the sound of sirens came from afar, growing louder as they approached, changing the atmosphere of the battle.
In the distance, Chen Xuan and the others who had been watching this place breathed a sigh of relief.
The sharp sound of sirens pierced the stillness of the night sky as it drew nearer.
Cheng Xiaotian glanced out of the corner of his eye at Xiao Chen, who was being protected by three guardians. Xiao Chen had already retreated outside the range of Cheng Xiaotian's fierce battle with Luo Lingtian, and his breath was as weak as a candle in the wind.
Although the true energy surging within his body was still condensed and did not dissipate, and his peak combat power remained, the fighting spirit in his eyes had quietly faded, and he no longer had the slightest desire to fight.
Cheng Xiaotian knew that with the strength Luo Lingtian had displayed, his early-stage Celestial Realm strength made it extremely difficult for him to even defeat this young man, let alone kill him, in a short time.
Even worse, the sirens were getting closer and closer, and he didn't dare to continue making a move.
Using force in front of the police would be a blatant provocation against the national law.
Before Luo Lingtian, this promising talent, can grow up and take revenge, the Cheng family will likely be uprooted by swift and decisive measures and completely removed from the Dragon Kingdom.
Although he was a genuine Celestial Realm expert, his true energy was so powerful that he could withstand rocket attacks without taking any damage.
But this level of strength is insufficient in the face of the state apparatus.
In today's rapidly evolving technological society, there are countless weapons of mass destruction more powerful than rockets. If they truly anger the nation, they could force the top leadership to make a firm decision to contain and eliminate them.
Let alone a single Celestial Realm cultivator like him, even a group of them would only face certain death, and would also drag the entire Cheng family down with them.
The reason he dared to act so arrogantly on the main road was because the place was remote and sparsely populated, making it unlikely to cause a large-scale disturbance.
Secondly, as long as he doesn't cross the line due to his status as a Celestial Realm expert, the country doesn't need to resort to high-powered weapons to deal with him at every turn.
After all, he wasn't a fool who would sit idly by and wait to die. If he were really forced into hiding in the crowd in the city, the country would be hesitant to use heavy firepower for the sake of the people's safety.
But now the situation is different; the police arrive in an instant, and they are the tangible representation of state power.
If they could swiftly kill Luo Lingtian and his group before the police arrived and then retreat, they could at least use some excuse to cover it up.
But he simply doesn't have that ability right now. If he dares to make a move in front of government officials, he would be disrespecting the country and the situation would spiral out of control, with no way to salvage it.
He can hide and escape, but what about the dozens of people in the Cheng family?
Are they all going to follow him and flee to the ends of the earth?
Moreover, a nation's deterrence against powerful beings at the Celestial Realm level has never relied solely on firearms.
The Dragon Kingdom has a vast territory, full of hidden talents. Does the country not have any martial artists at the Celestial Realm level?
If they were truly determined to deal with him, they could easily send a few martial artists of the same level to surround and kill him; he would still be unable to escape and would die a gruesome death.
In the blink of an eye, a sinister glint flashed in Cheng Xiaotian's eyes. He glared at Luo Lingtian and the others, and in a flash, he transformed into a blur, instantly appearing beside the three protectors.
"Boy, I've remembered this! You'd better pray my grandson survives, or I'll grind you to dust and make you pay a thousandfold!"
Cheng Xiaotian gritted his teeth and uttered harsh words, his voice filled with resentment and unwillingness.
Before he finished speaking, he bent down and picked up the critically injured and dying Xiao Chen, signaling the three protectors to follow.
With their inner energy circulating beneath their feet, the group swiftly sped into the depths of darkness, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.
No one knew that he harbored another thought in his heart: "Even if my grandson survives, this debt is not over!"
The two sides have already formed a blood feud, an irreconcilable enmity. As long as there is an opportunity in the future, Cheng Xiaotian will definitely eliminate Luo Lingtian, this major threat, with his own hands.
Luo Lingtian was naturally unaware of Cheng Xiaotian's inner thoughts, but as he watched the other's departing figure, a chilling murderous intent flashed in his dark eyes, disappearing in an instant.
"Not over yet? Do you need to say that?"
Not to mention that Cheng Xiaotian had no intention of letting him go, Luo Lingtian himself had no intention of letting Cheng Xiaotian, Xiao Chen and his group leave alive for long.
After the fierce battle, he had already figured out Cheng Xiaotian's background; he was only at the early stage of the Celestial Realm.
In terms of actual combat strength, he was absolutely confident that he could defeat him, or even kill him on the spot.
Especially Xiao Chen, this kid is definitely a hidden danger, we must nip him in the bud as soon as possible, and never give him any chance to grow.
Otherwise, if he were to turn things around in the future, I might be caught off guard and suffer a major setback, and it would be too late to regret it then.
Luo Lingtian had already made up his mind: once he found out where Cheng Xiaotian and the others were, he would lead his men to wipe them out in one fell swoop and bury them in the ground to eliminate any future troubles!
"Let's go."
Luo Lingtian spoke in a deep voice, then turned to Luo Xixi beside him and instructed, "Miss Luo, I'll leave the police situation to you."
After Cheng Xiaotian and the others left, Luo Lingtian didn't linger any longer. After explaining things to Luo Xixi, he led Mo Yu and the others into the darkness in the distance. Their figures quickly blended into the night and disappeared without a trace.
After several transfers, the group boarded a vehicle arranged in advance by Luo Lingtian at a secluded meeting point and sped back to Lingtian Manor.
The living room was brightly lit.
Zhao Hao rubbed his injured shoulder and said in a deep voice to everyone that Cheng Xiaotian was Cheng Xiaotian, the old patriarch of the Cheng family, a family of martial arts masters from the East.
Upon hearing this, Luo Lingtian narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped his knees rhythmically with his fingers, and fell into deep thought.
Although he has the help of the top-notch artificial intelligence Loya, which can monitor most corners of the world, he is not familiar with all forces, especially the ancient martial arts families within the Dragon Kingdom.
Old guys like Cheng Xiaotian have long lived a secluded life, rarely appearing in public and acting with extreme discretion.
Luo Lingtian knew of the Cheng family's existence, but he dared not say that he had figured out all the details of the Cheng family, let alone how many hidden forces were hidden within the clan.
Of course, if Luo Ya were to access the database for facial recognition, she could quickly ascertain Cheng Xiaotian's identity. However, since Zhao Hao had already recognized him, this step was unnecessary.
Luo Yuntian sighed, his tone tinged with emotion: "Xiao Chen is really tough; he's injured so badly but he's still not quite dead."
Even if they survive by sheer luck, they won't be able to cause trouble again anytime soon.
As for whether Xiao Chen can fully recover, Luo Yuntian no longer had any doubts.
This kid is probably truly the chosen one of this world; otherwise, anyone else would have died long ago after suffering such a fatal injury.
But Xiao Chen clung to life, stubbornly holding on to a sliver of hope, a fact that was utterly astonishing.
Luo Lingtian glanced at everyone and saw that everyone's face was very pale, especially Zhao Hao, whose wounds were still bleeding.
He waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "That's enough for today. You're all injured, so go back and take good care of yourselves. Once you've recovered, we'll discuss how to deal with Xiao Chen and Cheng Xiaotian."
Although he already had a preliminary plan in mind, now was clearly not the best time to take action.
Xiao Chen was critically injured and on the verge of death. If he wanted, he could find an opportunity to kill him at any time and bury Cheng Xiaotian along with him.
However, since this matter involves the Cheng family, a martial arts family, the plan cannot be rushed or hasty.
Xiao Chen's injuries were so severe that ordinary methods would certainly not be able to heal him. Cheng Xiaotian would most likely take him back to the Cheng family and use special methods to treat his injuries.
Since Cheng Xiaotian is Xiao Chen's maternal grandfather, the entire Cheng family is his enemy, and he must be eliminated at the root.
Otherwise, even if Xiao Chen and Cheng Xiaotian are killed, leaving the Cheng family as a hidden danger will inevitably cause endless trouble in the future.
Luo Lingtian himself is fearless, but his adoptive parents, the women around him, and his relatives in the Luo family in the capital are all his weaknesses.
If the Cheng family were to turn on him in desperation and attack his relatives, even if he were to avenge himself by massacring the Cheng family afterward, the harm done to his relatives would be irreparable, and they might even be separated by death.
Therefore, danger must be nipped in the bud.
A ruthless glint flashed in Luo Lingtian's eyes: The best way is to uproot the entire Cheng family, eliminate them completely, and leave no one alive! Oh, right, there's also the Xiao family!
However, dealing with the Xiao family is much more troublesome than dealing with the Cheng family.
He could apply to the state for the disposal of the Cheng family based on his accumulated merits.
After all, the Cheng family is selfish and arrogant, of no benefit to the country, and some of its members often do illegal things.
Given his achievements, the country is unlikely to object to him taking action against the Cheng family.
The Xiao family is different. Many members of the Xiao family work within the system, holding important positions, and their foundation is solid.
Before he could find any substantial evidence against the Xiao family, he couldn't do anything to them and had to remain inactive for the time being.
Of course, the Xiao family didn't dare to provoke him easily.
Then we'll see how much weight Xiao Chen and the Cheng family hold in the hearts of the Xiao family.
