Return to the City: The Strongest King-Chapter 1759 - 1698: Decisive Victory
Lin Feng immediately shouted: "Mis, make them back off."
He has always handled things prudently, and they are already in a position of advantage with no need for risks, but since Song Xiaodong has decided, he must minimize the risks.
Mis snorted and with a wave of his hand, shouted: "Back off, all of you."
Mark and two other elders moved directly to the edge of the cliff.
Only then did Song Xiaodong and Qingluan come before Mis.
Qingluan took a deep breath and said: "Elder Mis, please go ahead." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Mis shook his head gently and said: "Princess Qingluan, I've watched you grow up. In the Dark Night Sect, I spent the most time with you. I have always regarded you as my own daughter, and what you're doing really pains me."
Qingluan's face immediately showed a look of anguish, and she softly said: "I'm really sorry, but it's my responsibility. I have no choice but to do this. I hope you can understand, and after this is over, I will definitely return and accept any punishment."
"Alright, I respect your decision, but before you leave, I'd like to say one last thing to you."
Mis sighed with his eyes closed, and when he looked at Qingluan again, his eyes were filled with affection as he slowly walked toward her.
Qingluan instinctively moved toward Mis, while Song Xiaodong followed closely at her side.
"Qingluan." Mis lowered his head slightly, as if he wanted to whisper something to Qingluan, showing no sign of attack.
Qingluan took another step forward, her head moving closer to Mis's.
"Careful!" At this moment, Song Xiaodong suddenly shouted loudly, striking with full force toward Mis.
Almost simultaneously, Mis also made his move.
Mis's intentions from the start were not benevolent.
He had already seen that in a direct confrontation, they were at a disadvantage. Song Xiaodong and his companions were proficient in a formation, and their coordination was exquisite. Eventually, they would be able to deal with those elders. At that point, combining forces with Su Lie and Lin Feng, both he and Mark would find it hard to escape death.
Going for a sneak attack also offered little chance, so he played the emotion card with Qingluan instead.
Facing Song Xiaodong and Qingluan, of course, it was more valuable to kill Song Xiaodong, the Dragon Gate Young Master.
However, Mis was also clear that Song Xiaodong, already with Three Meridians True Qi, would not be that easy to kill. The other party was also vigilant everywhere, not giving him a chance for a sneak attack.
As long as he missed his chance, others would rush to the rescue, remaining unsolvable.
So he set his sights on Qingluan. With only Two Meridians True Qi, she was significantly weaker, and he was confident of a killing blow.
As long as Qingluan was killed, Dragon Gate would have no way to activate the formation, achieving his goal.
His acting was good and did indeed move Qingluan. Before striking, he showed no sign of True Qi fluctuations.
But as he just prepared to strike, Song Xiaodong unexpectedly acted first. This frustrated him greatly — how could Song Xiaodong time it so perfectly? Where did he slip up?
He wasn't aware of Song Xiaodong's Perception Ability.
With the power of Three Meridians True Qi, Song Xiaodong's Perception Ability had also enhanced, now able to sense not only the opponent's muscles but even the mobilization of True Qi.
Mis's True Qi movement was sensed immediately, leaving no doubt that Mis was about to strike, leading him to unhesitatingly shout and attack first.
Song Xiaodong's palm directly hit Mis's right chest, targeting Mis's vital point.
Mis immediately pushed his right palm forward aggressively, seemingly fully defending against Song Xiaodong, but actually only used a fraction of his True Qi for defense, while his left hand unhesitatingly directed most of his power toward Qingluan's chest.
The distance between them wasn't far. Mis's strike was as quick as lightning, and if landed, it would surely take Qingluan's life.
Mis knew he couldn't block Song Xiaodong's strike, so he would rather get injured himself to kill Qingluan — quite a ruthless character indeed.
If this were anyone else, they might have been tricked by Mis, but Song Xiaodong had already seen through Mis's use of True Qi.
His attack on Mis's right chest was released, but the strength was withdrawn, and he surged with his legs, moving sideways to bump into Qingluan.
Mis's strength might have surpassed Song Xiaodong's, but Song Xiaodong's Perception Ability allowed him to foresee the enemy's moves, putting him a step ahead.
Before Mis's palm could hit Qingluan's chest, Song Xiaodong had already knocked Qingluan away, meeting Mis's left palm himself.
"Bang!" A dull thud resounded.
Both delivered a solid blow.
Song Xiaodong staggered back three or four steps, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Mis wasn't in much better shape, stepping back a few paces with blood at the corner of his mouth as well.
After all, he had allocated some True Qi to tempt Song Xiaodong, so his strike on Qingluan wasn't his full strength. Meanwhile, Song Xiaodong utilized all his power, readying himself for the disparity in strength. Thus, they ended up going toe to toe.
Mis's figure immediately lunged forward again, intending to kill Qingluan before Su Lie and the others arrived, as no opportunity would remain otherwise.
Song Xiaodong also realized this, so he desperately obstructed Mis, refusing to back down.
