Bai Sheng carried Zhu Hongqin into the woods.
Ning Tao, Yin Molan and Qing Zhui followed in a triangular formation and also entered the woods.
Bam!
Bai Sheng dropped Zhu Hongqin on the gra.s.s and turned to face Ning Tao, Qing Zhui and Yin Molan. Carrying a person made him slower than the three empty-handed pursuers.
Before Ning Tao could give an order, Yin Molan pulled the Blade of Brotherhood out of his windbreaker. The point of the knife was inclined to the ground, and the blade gleamed with a cold light and sent out green demon auras.
Qing Zhui showed her snake claws, too. The nails, which were born from the demon bone were as sharp as daggers.
Ning Tao didn't have a knife or claws, and only had the Unbreakable Fan. On such a violent occasion, it was not proper for him to take the fan whether he fanned it or not. The picture of him was a little awkward. He had intended to take the firewood chopper with him, but considering that he was going to Bai Jing and Xin Zhiyu's engagement party, it was not appropriate for him to carry the medicine chest or put the firewood chopper in his trouser pocket. So he didn't bring the firewood chopper. Now, he regretted not having taken the medicine chest.
Crack!
Bai Sheng shook his arms and his fingernails stretched out as if the shaking had unlocked something on his body, releasing the sharp edge hidden in his fingers. His claws were longer and sharper than Qing Zhui's. Besides, his snake claws were glinted with pale green light, and ringed with an overwhelming demon aura.
“Qing Zhui!” Bai Sheng uttered darkly. “I'm your father. Are you going to fight against me?”
Qing Zhui was instinctively afraid of him. Her body quivered, but then she yelled at Bai Sheng, “You're not my father. You have no right to be my father! No father would put venomous insects in his daughter's body, but you did it on my sister, and last time you tried to do it on me! I don't have a father like you!”
There was a sudden noise behind them.
Without looking back, Ning Tao knew that it was Bai Jing.
Sure enough, as the noise was heard, Bai Jing's voice rang, “Qing Zhui, how could you talk to our adoptive father like that? Whatever he has done, he is always our adopted father.”
Qing Zhui looked back, her eyes appearing pale green. “You fool! How could you help him after he lays the Viper-like Insect on you?”
Bai Jing was silent and released her snake claws.
Bai Sheng sneered, “Qing Zhui, do you know why I like your sister but not you? Because your sister knows what will happen when you betray me. You'll never know how I'll kill you. Trust me, you'll be absolutely sorry for betraying me then.”
Qing Zhui bellowed, “Shut up!”
Bai Sheng's eyes were icy. “Is it worth it for you to betray me for a cultivating doctor? Come back to me. My cultivating system is about to be built. You and your sister will have the chance to become immortal!”
Qing Zhui spat on the ground. “Bah!”
That was her response.
Bai Sheng stopped trying to persuade her. He wanted to break Ning Tao's camp, but Qing Zhui was determined to follow Ning Tao. Her determination was so firm that his threats and inducements were of no use.
Ning Tao cried, “Bai Sheng, leave Zhu Hongqin. I'll just pretend that nothing happened.”
“Hha!” Bai Sheng wasn't angry but laughed. “Do you really think you three can beat me? I have Bai Jing. You three are no match for me and my daughter. I'm thinking how to kill you will be more interesting, but you threatened me. Don't you think you're ridiculous?”
Through their tracking, he had a rough judgment of the strength of the fighting demon Yin Molan and Ning Tao. His previous fear had disappeared.
Zhu Hongqin crept aside while Bai Sheng was talking.
However, before she could move away a meter, Bai Sheng's snake claws swung at her and plunged into her thigh.
“Ah—” Zhu Hongqin let out a scream. The pain was so severe that she nearly fainted. Bai Sheng's snake claws were actually his fingernails modified from his demon bone, at least a foot long. He pierced her thigh as if her thigh was tofu. When Bai Sheng pulled out his nails, there were five holes in her thigh, all bleeding.
Ning Tao had no sympathy for this woman. Had it not been for the fact that she might know where the real skull fragment was, he would not have come to her rescue at all.
Just as Ning Tao looked at Zhu Hongqin, Bai Sheng suddenly started. He flashed, his right snake claws sticking into Ning Tao's heart.
Yin Molan and Qing Zhui moved at the same time. Yin Molan raised the Blade of Brotherhood and swung it at Bai Sheng's right arm. If Bai Sheng tried to stab Ning Tao to death, his right arm was the price!
Qing Zhui was more direct. She jumped up and jabbed her snake claws into Bai Sheng's neck. With the sharpness of her snake claws, if Bai Sheng wanted to maintain the offensive posture and didn't avoid, his head would be cut off by Qing Zhui!
However, before Qing Zhui's snake claws reached Bai Sheng, a white figure ran after her and smashed her back.
Bai Jing also made a move.
Bam!
Qing Zhui gave a m.u.f.fled groan. Her body veered off course and hit the ground hard.
Yin Molan's attack did not make Bai Sheng turn or dodge. He made a push with his left hand, and knocked on Yin Molan's Blade of Brotherhood with the back of his hand. Yin Molan's Blade of Brotherhood was immediately pushed aside. The snake claws of his right hand were only affected a little, which caused him to slow down a little, but still stabbed Ning Tao in the chest fiercely.
Yin Molan bought Ning Tao only a tiny amount of time, but it was enough for the cultivating doctor who had been working hard on the ABC of elementary cultivation method.
As Ning Tao sidled away from Bai Sheng's snake claws, his right fist grazed Bai Sheng's right arm and landed on his left eye.
It wasn't one punch, it was four! During this period of hard practicing, he could perform the Cat Claw Punch a third faster than before. He could launch four punches in an instant. It was as fast as a ghost, and Bai Sheng couldn't dodge it.
However, the speed of his skill was increased, but the power was too small. All the four punches. .h.i.t Bai Sheng in the left eye, but only caused him to wear a little “eye shadow” without really hurting him.
“Go to h.e.l.l!” Bai Sheng roared furiously and stepped forward. He raised his arms high and cut down with his arms crossed.
An “X” shape shadow of pale green claws suddenly appeared in the void, blocking Ning Tao's route of dodging left or right.
Ning Tao kicked off the ground and flew backwards.
Yin Molan took the opportunity to cut Bai Sheng in the waist and tried to cut him in the middle!
Bai Sheng hacked Yin Molan's Blade of Brotherhood with his claws.
Crank!
The demon aura spread, causing a large area of trees to shake.
Yin Molan took two steps back, and his Blade of Brotherhood failed to break Bai Sheng's snake claws!
“Go to h.e.l.l!” Bai Sheng roared. Before Yin Molan could get his footing, Bai Sheng shot at him like an arrow from a string.
Qing Zhui jumped to her feet and pounced on Bai Sheng.
Bai Jing ran to Qing Zhui and waved her snake claws in Qing Zhui's way.
Whistling!
There was a gust of wind and a rock flew over and hit Bai Sheng on the head.
It was Ning Tao who threw the rock. It was too late to stop Bai Sheng, but the rock he threw could fly faster than him.
Bam!
The rock as big as a fist was shattered by Bai Sheng's demon power, and the pieces flew around like shrapnel!
The attack did not hurt Bai Sheng either.
Bai Sheng's snake claws eventually pierced Yin Molan, but not his flesh, but his Blade of Brotherhood on his chest.
Clank!
A voice sounded as if a sword had been drawn out of its sheath. Bai Sheng's snake claws. .h.i.t Yin Molan with a tidal wave of force the moment they hit the Blade of Brotherhood. Yin Molan groaned and lifted himself off the ground, flying backwards like a kite with its strings cut out.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Qing Zhui's snake claws collided with Bai Jing's. Each collision produced a clear sound, and sparks shoot out!
“Bai Jing! Are you crazy?” Qing Zhui snarled. “Don't push me!”
Bai Jing didn't say anything, but kept waving her claws to attack Qing Zhui. However, her moves seemed fierce, but she only attacked Qing Zhui's snake claws at a slow speed.
Unfortunately, how could the angry Qing Zhui notice this detail?
Bai Sheng did not pursue the injured Yin Molan. The moment Yin Molan's body flew out, he shot at Ning Tao with the rebound of the Blade of Brotherhood.
He was as swift as an arrow shooting from a string!
Only this time his “arrowhead” was not his razor-sharp snake claws but his feet.
Ning Tao would have s.h.i.+ed away from his snake claws, but he didn't have to hide from his feet.
Bam!
Bai Sheng's feet hit Ning Tao in the chest with tremendous force. In that instant Ning Tao felt like he had several ribs broken, but he kicked Bai Sheng in the crotch with his right foot.
Ning Tao went off like a cannonball. He spurted out a mouthful of blood, drops of which fell to the ground.
Bai Sheng landed on the ground, gathered his legs tight, one hand over his crotch, and a strange expression on his face. He was not like Ning Tao, who used to hit himself in the crotch for practicing the Powerful Tolerance to Beating. He was strong all over, but his crotch was his weakness.
By the time the five scuffled, Zhu Hongqin had moved more than a dozen meters away, dragging her injured leg. Just as Ning Tao hit a tree with his back and fell to the ground, she grabbed the chance to get up and limp down the hill.
Buzzing, buzzing…
Several helicopter guns.h.i.+ps suddenly flew over the top of the hill.
Bai Sheng looked up and lunged at Zhu Hongqin. His voice echoed after him. “Bai Jing, bring up the rear!”
Bai Jing ran sideways, blocking Qing Zhui and Yin Molan's pursuit route.
Bai Sheng grabbed Zhu Hongqin by the waist from behind and leapt off into the thick woods.
Yin Molan swung his blade at Bai Jing.
Ning Tao shouted, “No!”
Yin Molan's Blade of Brotherhood paused in the air.
Qing Zhui didn't attack Bai Jing. She never had the heart to fight her sister in the first place. But at this time, her heart was really broken by Bai Jing.
Ning Tao got up from the ground and said, “Let that guy go.”
Yin Molan asked anxiously, “What are you doing? Zhu Hongqin is still in the hands of that snake demon. If he gets the elixir prescription, there's no way we can take it from him!”
Ning Tao walked up to the trio and explained, “It wasn't Zhu Hongqin I wanted to take from him, it was Bai Jing.”
Yin Molan and Qing Zhui were immediately stunned on the spot.
