Chapter 447 Retaliating in an Impossible Situation
“Make way, make way.” The woman carrying the steamed buns and soy milk cried as she walked. “So uncivilized. This alley is narrow, so why are you guys crowding over here? Are you guys on a company tour, or doing pyramid selling?”
Ning Tao made way for her.
No one would dare provoke an auntie from Beidu.
Sun Pingchuan and his fearless warriors also made way for her.
As she munched her steamed buns and drank her soy milk, she walked out from the crowd, mumbling, “All idling with a full stomach. None of them seems to be paying housing loans…”
There were many armed men within the crowd, as well as practitioners who could make the lamp post bend. Yet they all watched quietly this woman walk past them, her expression calm and totally composed.
The man pasting the advertisements also walked over. He was carrying a bucket of glue. He stared at the crowd in the alley, yet did not detect any murderous or ferocious malice in them. Instead, he found an opportunity to make money. While passing by Ning Tao, he stopped, deftly brushing the utility pole with glue and taking out a poster from his backpack and pasting it.
“If you want a girl, call 139…”
Then, this man pasting the advertisements left too.
He had brandished a brush and left happiness in this world.
The alley became quiet.
Ning Tao coughed drily, breaking the silence. “Miss, what did you just ask me?”
A faint smile hovered on the corner of Wu Yue’s lips. She smiled radiantly, her smile appearing like a blossoming flower. “You’re so sweet. Since you called me Miss, as long as you release the girl and give me your elixir prescription, I will spare your life.”
A faint smile appeared on Ning Tao’s lips too. “I don’t seem to have a choice. Alright, I’ll release her. She’s in my clinic.”
Saying that, he walked towards the clinic.
Yin Molan, Bai Jing, Qing Zhui, Jiang Hao, as well as the Howling Celestial Dog, all followed him.
Zing!
A crisp sound. Wu Yue held out the flying sword in her hands. Under the morning sunlight, it glittered with a cold dazzling light.
Ning Tao halted his steps. The faint smile on his lips had disappeared. “Are you sure you want to fight here?”
Wu Yue said blandly, “Don’t think I don’t know how you have escaped. You’re trying the same trick again. You think you will succeed? I will stuff your garbage down your mouth.”
A raging fire began to burn in Ning Tao’s heart, but he seemed very calm on the surface. Only his voice was cold. “Who do you think you are, that you can act atrociously here? The second you strike, Sun Lanxiang will surely die.”
Before Wu Yue could respond, Sun Pingchuan had cursed. “Don’t you dare, kid!”
Ning Tao moved his hand to behind his waist and pulled out his refined Mauser pistol. He said, “Once we fight, you people head for the clinic.”
Yin Molan, Bai Jing, Qing Zhui and Jiang Hao understood him immediately and nodded. The Howling Celestial Dog took an extra second before nodding its canine head.
If they were elsewhere, Ning Tao would have long opened the convenient door and escaped with them. After all, Wu Yue was three realms higher than him and too powerful. He certainly could not defeat her. But over here, he did not fear Wu Yue, since this was where Sky Clinic was.
Wu Yue’s expression turned cold. “Do you really dare fight me?”
A sneer appeared on Ning Tao’s lips. “Wanna try?”
Wu Yue turned back and glanced at Sky Clinic at the end of the alley. She frowned, looking thoughtful.
Ning Tao’s finger suddenly moved.
Bang!
A gunshot.
A refined bullet flew towards Wu Yue’s chest.
If he could attack, he would never make a sound beforehand. Ning Tao was happy to mount a sneak attack, even though it might seem despicable.
A cold glimmer flashed and Wu Yue had hacked her flying sword on that refined bullet.
Ding!
The bullet was sliced into two. There appeared a small chip on the sword blade. Even Wu Yue who was confident she could take on Ning Tao’s gunshot, was forced to take several steps back, due to the mighty impact!
Shocked astonishment appeared in Wu Yue’s eyes. But in the next second, there was towering rage. This puny cultivating doctor standing before her was no different from an ant, yet he had dared to fire at her. He had even made a chip on her magic flying sword!
Within this second, Yin Molan, Bai Jing, Qing Zhui, Jiang Hao and the Howling Celestial Dog had all sprinted towards Sky Clinic. They all knew what kind of a presence this clinic was, and understood Ning Tao’s thoughts.
Bang, bang, bang!
Ning Tao would not give Wu Yue any chance to relax. His finger kept pulling the trigger as the refined Mauser pistol shuddered. One bullet after another kept firing madly at Wu Yue.
Wu Yue hit two refined bullets away and two more chips appeared on the blade of the flying sword. She no longer dared to parry the bullets with her sword. Her fingers assuming a sword fighting gesture, her flying sword had turned into a flowing streak of light, hurtling towards Ning Tao instantly.
Before the flying sword could penetrate Ning Tao’s body, Sun Pingchuan’s sword had already stabbed Ning Tao’s back. He had unsheathed his sword the moment Ning Tao let fire his first shot. While Ning Tao was firing the second, he had pounced on him. While Ning Tao was firing his third, he had arrived at his back. While Ning Tao was firing the fourth shot and while Wu Yue was stabbing her flying sword at him, Sun Pingchuan had completed his sneak attack.
He had timed himself to perfection to preempt Ning Tao. The speed and angle of his sword attack also gave Ning Tao no chance to dodge.
Cha!
The sword bent.
His back was fine.
At this moment, Ning Tao was only afraid of Wu Yue’s flying sword. He totally disregarded the other guns and swords!
Sun Pingchuan was flabbergasted.
After receiving the force of Sun Pingchuan’s sword, Ning Tao dived sideways, dodging the flying sword.
The flying sword did not hit him. Wu Yue waved her Incredible Sword Finger. The flying sword immediately swerved when it was about to pierce Sun Pingchuan’s body, stabbing into Ning Tao’s butt instead.
The sword had stabbed into his butt.
The Heavenly Gem Magic Garment there had torn. Blood gushed out from Ning Tao’s butt. The mighty force of the flying sword also threw him out, as he hurtled like an arrow along the ground, heading towards Sky Clinic at the end of the alley.
It might be because he was traveling too fast, or due to the wind— the Heavenly Gem Magic hood covering Ning Tao’s head had dropped, revealing his head.
Wu Yue lunged into the air, waving her Incredible Sword Finger.
Swoosh!
The flying sword streaked towards the back of Ning Tao’s head.
A cold glimmer tore through the air, with the momentum of an arching rainbow.
In the blink of an eye, the flying sword had reached the back of Ning Tao’s head.
Dong!
The mighty toll of the Way!
Without any warning, cracks suddenly appeared on the flying sword. It rebounded.
Clang!
Broken shards of the flying sword had dropped all over the alley.
Qing Zhui reached out to catch Ning Tao, intercepting him. She spun on her toes to relieve the impact of his movement. She looked like she was dancing a tango with Ning Tao.
Wu Yue managed to halt her body movement forcefully. She stared at the broken shards on the ground. From her expression, it seemed her heart was breaking, not her flying sword.
Sun Pingchuan and those fearless warriors from the Genesis Biotech Company were all stunned, rooted to the spot.
The flying sword…
Had shattered?
The sword was still dancing around just now during their life-and-death fight. Yet now, there was a deathly silence in the alley.
“Your buttock is hurt.” A woman’s voice broke the stifling silence.
The person who spoke was Bai Jing. Before her words faded, her hand was already touching Ning Tao’s butt.
Jiang Hao brushed Bai Jing’s hand away. “What are you doing?”
Bai Jing said, “I’m helping my brother-in-law stanch his bleeding. You have a problem with that?”
Helping her brother-in-law stanch the bleeding on his butt. Wasn’t this a legitimate excuse?
Strangely, the scene had changed.
Ning Tao glanced back at his own butt. His trousers were torn and there was a gash on his butt. It was still bleeding. He was healing himself using spiritual power, yet so far, only a dozen or so seconds had elapsed.
“Ahhh—” Wu Yue let out an angry roar.
Ning Tao was relaxed, smiling. “Shattered, eh? What a pity, such a good flying sword had shattered just like that. How are you going to kill me with it?”
Wu Yue watched Ning Tao, her eyes dying to hack Ning Tao into 1,000 pieces. Just now, she had Ning Tao in the bag. She had thought him an ant that she could crush easily. Yet now, this ant was mocking her!
Ning Tao hooked a finger and challenged Wu Yue to come. “Come and kill me.”
Wu Yue took a step forward, but stopped after taking this step. The broken shards of her flying sword were now hovering in the air. Then they dropped onto her hand, making jangling noises.
Ning Tao gave a smile. “By the way, I can repair magic tools. I repaired Reverend Miexin’s flying sword. Why don’t you cut a deal with me with those skull fragments in your possession? Let me have them and I will repair your flying sword. I can even release Sun Lanxiang.”
Wu Yue remained silent, her face horrifically somber.
“You will profit a lot from this deal. Are you willing to accept it?” Ning Tao asked.
Wu Yue’s lips trembled and she finally spoke. “You’re alive because of that clinic behind you. But can you hide forever in your clinic? I assure you, the moment you come out, I will shred you into a thousand pieces!”
Ning Tao sneered. “How can you kill me without your flying sword? Stop boasting. Shall I come out to let you try killing me?”
He really walked towards Wu Yue.
Without the flying sword, Wu Yue could not kill him. He was a cultivating doctor protected by the Heavenly Gem Magic Garment. He had also mastered Powerful Tolerance to Beating. Would she punch him a thousand times or kick him eight hundred times? He would be like an inflatable roly poly toy before her. His Cat Claw Punch was no slouch either. Besides, he still had the refined Mauser pistol and his Blade of the Solar Eclipse, which could slice through magic tools like through radishes!
How about sorcery?
He had Your Text to protect him. Not even the Soul-devouring Urn or the Picture of the Six Samsara Realms could hurt him, so how could Wu Yue kill him with a spell?
Although he had destroyed Wu Yue’s flying sword, he still couldn’t kill her. But she would find killing him more difficult than speculating on A-shares!
Ning Tao walked towards Wu Yue. Yin Molan, Jiang Hao, Qing Zhui and Bai Jing also strode towards her.
“Woof, woof, woof!” The Howling Celestial Dog barked. It crouched and wagged its tail, shaking its head and sneaking towards her. He moved rhythmically as if he was doing a lion dance.
“Let’s go!” Wu Yue suddenly turned around and left.
She was not really afraid of Ning Tao. But Ning Tao had Sky Clinic behind him, and she could not figure out at all what kind of presence it was. Given the fact it could destroy her flying sword in an instant, she did not dare confront Ning Tao here.
Sun Pingchuan stared at Ning Tao. He was about to speak, but restrained himself. He hesitated, then turned and left as well.
Ning Tao halted his steps, saying loudly, “When you come the next time, remember to bring along Zhu Hongyu’s skull. You can try killing me again, but please prepare an urn for your own ash remains.”
No one cared for his words.
Bai Jing’s lovely hand fell on Ning Tao’s butt again. “Brother-in-law, your butt is still bleeding. Come to my room and I’ll treat your wound.”
Ning Tao’s heart was at sixes and sevens.
Such a mighty scene, and she was not at all nervous? Also, why hadn’t a man appeared to subdue her?
Crack!
Bai Jing’s molesting hand had turned into cold pork knuckle set in jelly.
