Chapter 439 - Clobbering Each Other



Chapter 439 Clobbering Each Other

The wind coupled with snowflakes blew across the mountain slope. The cracks in the boulders gave off mournful sounds, as if feeling frustration at a righteous girl falling into the hands of a despicable crook, weeping plaintively.

“If you have the guts, let me go. We will fight each other fairly!” Sun Lanxiang growled angrily.

Thump!

Ning Tao kneed Sun Lanxiang on her butt, without showing the least bit of compassion for her gender.

Sun Lanxiang was so shamed that she cried, “I’m gonna kill you!”

Ning Tao frowned. “Can’t you just shut up?”

Sun Lanxiang cursed, “Release me, you despicable rogue!”

Ning Tao stopped walking and glanced back at the Howling Celestial Dog. “Celestial Howling, did anyone pursue us?”

The Howling Celestial Dog replied, “No. I have been monitoring the situation all this while.”

Ning Tao instructed, “Continue monitoring. If anything happens, report to me at once.”

“Got it, Dad.” The Howling Celestial Dog pricked up its constantly trembling ears. It was no different from a living radar by Ning Tao’s side.

Ning Tao pressed his refined Mauser pistol against the back of Sun Lanxiang’s head. His left hand released her throat, but after that, he swiftly pulled out her magic tool flute from her waist belt.

Sun Lanxiang cried angrily, “Give it back to me!”

Ning Tao took two steps backwards, his right hand still aiming the pistol at Sun Lanxiang. His left hand brought the flute to his lips and after inhaling a breath, he started to blow.

Toot toot toot…

The magic tool flute made an ugly sound. The stagnated spiritual power field did not surface, nor was there any vigorous, metal-severing qi. Ning Tao felt quite depressed. He still could not use the magic tools of ordinary practitioners. Sun Lanxiang’s magic tool flute was obviously very powerful, yet it was no more than a musical instrument in his hand. He could not even play it well.

Ning Tao opened his small medicine chest to put the flute in, but found it too long to keep there. He decided to throw the flute away. In that instant he made this decision, he drew out his Blade of the Solar Eclipse to cut the flute.

“Don’t—” Sun Lanxiang screamed, pouncing recklessly to snatch her magic tool flute away.

But Ning Tao was simply too fast. Moreover, the refined Mauser pistol was in his hand, constantly threatening her. She was too wary of it.

Crack!

The magic tool flute was sliced into two, falling to the ground.

Sun Lanxiang slumped down onto the ground, too upset to cry. Practitioners nowadays must have a magic tool by their side, which they valued like their own lives. She had had this magic flute for over two centuries. It accompanied her every day, and was by her pillow even at night while she slept. It was no different from a faithful companion. Yet now it had been severed into two by a despicable rogue. Why wouldn’t she be upset?

Ning Tao did not care in the least for Sun Lanxiang’s grief. He slowly picked up the two broken sections of the flute and kept them in his small medicine chest. An intact magic tool with the original owner’s magical prowess was of no use to him. Only broken magic tools would be useful. Ning Tao was already envisaging what to do with these two sections of the flute. He would mend them with the rotten broken tripod, and then refine the mended flute with the delicate perfumed tripod for Qing Zhui.

His destined concubine would have the Unbreakable Fan in one hand, and this flute in her other. How awesome would she look! But he did not know if Qing Zhui could play the flute. Never mind, she could always learn. Girls had a natural affinity for musical instruments like the flute. They can easily master them.

“Other than threatening me with a gun, what other abilities do you have?” Sun Lanxiang’s eyes were fearfully cold. She seemed to have turned all her sorrow into strength.

Ning Tao took out the herb-collecting rope from his small medicine chest.

Sun Lanxiang snorted coldly. “You think you can bind me with that worn rope? I can see through you. You’re just a shameless, cowardly guy. Do you dare to put down your gun and fight? A real fight?”

Ning Tao did not respond.

Sun Lanxiang stared with contemptuous eyes at Ning Tao, saying sarcastically, “You don’t dare, huh? You’re not a man, you have no guts. You’re even afraid of a girl like me. You’re a coward!”

Ning Tao said nothing, but the Howling Celestial Dog had jumped up. “You stupid woman, say it one more time! I will bite you to death!”

Ning Tao said, “Celestial Howling, do your work. You have learned nothing but curses. Be an upright and cultured dog.”

“Okay.” The Howling Celestial Dog responded and stopped cursing.

“Ptooey!” Sun Lanxiang spat in Ning Tao’s direction and mocked derisively, “This dog at least dares to retort. You don’t even dare to. You’re worse than a dog!”

Ning Tao smiled. “You’re just provoking me to put down my gun and fight you, in order to overcome and maybe kill me. I don’t understand, what makes you so confident?”

Sun Lanxiang’s eyes were menacing. “Do you dare?”

Ning Tao shrugged. “Well, I didn’t want to fight a woman. But since you insist so aggressively, I will play along with you. But I have a condition. If you lose, tell me who that mastermind behind the Genesis Biotech Company is.”

Sun Lanxiang became silent. She seemed to be hesitating whether to accept his condition.

Ning Tao said, “I’m holding a gun. If you want me to put it down and fight you fairly, I will do you this honor. But if you won’t even answer such a simple question, why should I satisfy your wish?”

“Okay!” Sun Lanxiang said coldly. “I give you my word. But you won’t have a chance to hear it anyway.”

Ning Tao gave a light snort. He put his refined Mauser pistol into the small medicine chest and closed the lid.

Just at that moment when the lid was closed, Sun Lanxiang suddenly pounced on Ning Tao. Her body still in the air, she had twisted her slender waist. Her long leg, accompanied by the sound of it tearing through the air, kicked at Ning Tao’s neck.

Such a pretty kick. Few in today’s world could have kicked so well.

She was aiming directly at the vital spot on his neck, obviously trying to kill him.

It was a brutal kick, but Ning Tao did not even bother to dodge. As he faced Sun Lanxiang’s leg, he delivered a punch at the joint of her hip.

Each was aiming for the other’s vital point.

Bam!

Ning Tao’s body was kicked into the air by her leg, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Ning Tao’s punch had also intercepted Sun Lanxiang in mid-air. She fell to the ground, but bounced up the next second. The way she stood though seemed very unnatural. Her legs were clipped tightly together, her back bowed, as if she could not stand erect. A crimson hue flushed across her face from shame. Her eyes seemed to be wanting to cut Ning Tao into a thousand pieces! That spot on her body had not been touched for centuries, yet this despicable rogue had punched her there!

But at this moment, Ning Tao also stood up. He seemed to be doing street-dancing. He was originally lying on the ground, but managed to jump in a single leap.

A tinge of astonishment flashed across Sun Lanxiang’s eyes. She was well aware of the power behind her kick. She had been practicing this kick since the Qing Dynasty, and it had accumulated several centuries of her strength. This kick would have broken a solid concrete pole, let alone Ning Tao’s neck. But Ning Tao was still standing unscathed before her, his lips wearing a faint disgusting smile.

Ning Tao said blandly, “You want to kill me with such trivial skills?”

“Ah!” Sun Lanxiang growled angrily, her legs moving. Her rapidly moving body left streak marks in the air. In the blink of an eye, she had reached Ning Tao’s front. Without pausing, she rained fists and kicks on Ning Tao’s body.

Bam, bam, bam!

The sounds of fists and feet hitting flesh kept resounding, like a beating drum.

Ning Tao reeled left and right under Sun Lanxiang’s blows, like a sandbag in a boxing gym, or a roly-poly toy used for venting frustration. He merely received the blows without retaliating.

Bam, bam, bam…

“Go and die!” Sun Lanxiang had finished a practitioner’s boxing style. Her right leg carried with it a breeze and powerful spiritual power, moving from back to front, bottom to top. She kicked brutally at Ning Tao’s groin between his legs.

Thump!

A muffled thud.

Ning Tao’s body was kicked more than a meter into the air. It remained airborne for a second before hitting ground. His feet touched the ground without him staggering. Then, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his lips. “I haven’t felt so good for a long time. It feels really good!”

Sun Lanxiang was flabbergasted. She had bashed Ning Tao wildly for at least two minutes, her fists raining down on Ning Tao more than a hundred times. Her feet had kicked him over 50 times. Yet this was the result. Ning Tao was still making sarcastic remarks!

But it was not completely a sarcastic remark. Ning Tao really felt good. The more powerful he became, the less likely anyone could really beat him. His Powerful Tolerance to Beating would get more useful the more he was bashed. Sun Lanxiang’s mad battering just now gave Ning Tao a good opportunity to practice his Powerful Tolerance to Beating. What he underwent felt as comfortable as a massage.

Ning Tao flexed his shoulder joints and finger phalanx. “It’s my turn now.”

As his words faded, he suddenly pounced on Sun Lanxiang, a fist aimed at her cheek.

Sun Lanxiang raised her hand to parry it, but before she could, Ning Tao’s fist had already struck her face. Although the blow was not particularly heavy, she still saw stars!

Given the speed of Cat Claw Punch, it could not be easily parried by anyone!

Bam bam bam…

Two minutes later, Ning Tao stepped back.

Sun Lanxiang was standing opposite Ning Tao, glaring angrily. One second later, she reeled and collapsed to the ground. Her face was no longer delicate and pretty. Instead, there were bruises around her eyes like a panda’s, her nose was broken and blood trickled down her nostrils. Her lips were swollen like sausages. Her face was distended to several times its original size, with green and purple bruises all over. These were only spots where bruises could be seen, not mentioning hidden ones. Ning Tao had used his fists to give her a thorough “battering to the bones”. There was not a single spot on her body which had not been hit.

Ning Tao picked up the herb-collecting rope from the ground and walked towards Sun Lanxiang. “Now is the time for you to fulfill your promise. Tell me who that mastermind behind Genesis Biotech Company is.”

Sun Lanxiang clambered up from the ground with her two hands, her face and nose bruised. Then she opened her mouth and spat!

“I know women can’t be trusted.” Ning Tao shook his hand and the herb-collecting rope streaked out with a whoosh. As if possessed by a snake spirit, it bound Sun Lanxiang in an instant.

“Let me go!” Sun Lanxiang growled.

Ning Tao pulled her forward and Sun Lanxiang lost balance. She toppled headlong into his arms. He reached out and pulled her ear, saying coldly, “Don’t worry, it’s okay not to tell me. I have a way to make you talk.”

“If you have the guts, kill me!”

“I need you to exchange for the elixir prescription. Why should I kill you? I’m taking you away.” Ning Tao opened his small medicine chest and pulled out an ordinary prescription with a blood lock.

“You’re taking me to the northern slope? Didn’t you say Lin Qinghua would only let you go alone?”

“When did I say I would take you there?” Ning Tao said.

A convenient door opened, as dark as ink. But its rims seemed seared by fire, with remnants of the blood-red flames remaining.

Ning Tao kicked Sun Lanxiang’s butt and she let out a scream, plunging headlong into the convenient door.

If Sky Clinic was used as a prison, it was undoubtedly the best prison in the world.
