The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty

"Quite the confidence you have there."

Jiang Xinghai continued to push Leng Ning back as he lit a cigarette. "We’re clearly on the same level, yet here you are, puffing out your chest and acting tough. I hate shameless bastards like you more than anything. Get on your knees and beg for mercy."

"You damn brat!" Mr. Hu was so furious his mustache bristled, and the thick muscles on his face knotted, making him look even more terrifying.

"Of course, even if you kneel and beg for mercy today, I won’t spare you." Jiang Xinghai’s mind was made up; he was going to kill him.

’Even if he’s my equal in the Celestial Destiny Realm, he dies here today!’

’Otherwise, all my plans will fall apart.’

’Even if it means taking heavy losses myself, I don’t care!’

’Besides, with Leng Ning already hidden in the shadows, I have an escape route.’

"Hahaha!"

Mr. Hu stared at Jiang Xinghai, his extreme anger suddenly turning into laughter.

The thick flesh on his face trembled as he walked toward Jiang Xinghai step by step. "It’s been a long time since I met a brat who dared to challenge me like this! Yes, you’re strong, I’ll give you that. But in my eyes, you’re still just a weakling!"

The moment he finished speaking, Mr. Hu’s feet shifted, and he strangely appeared at Jiang Xinghai’s side.

He formed his hand into a claw, his five fingers like steel hooks as they shot toward Jiang Xinghai’s neck!

If this claw were to land, even with Jiang Xinghai’s considerable talent and cultivation, it would be nearly impossible for him to survive.

After all, the speed and power of the strike were a match for his own.

"Go repent in heaven!"

A cruel look spread across Mr. Hu’s face. But just as he was about to grab Jiang Xinghai, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. A closer look made his expression change drastically.

Three silver needles had appeared between him and Jiang Xinghai.

In an instant, the three fine needles shot out, piercing through the air at an unbelievable angle as they flew toward Mr. Hu.

’This is bad!’

’If these three needles hit me, I’ll be injured for sure, no matter how lucky I am.’

At that moment, cold sweat dripped down Mr. Hu’s face.

’That was close!’

’This kid is so cunning!’

At this thought, the killing intent in Mr. Hu’s heart grew even stronger.

’If anyone else had faced those three needles just now, they’d already be dead!’

’He really is my equal!’

’No, maybe he’s even a little stronger than me!’

The more Mr. Hu thought about it, the more his heart pounded with fear.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring; he had no choice but to fire.

He had come all this way from the Imperial City just to capture Jiang Xinghai alive!

That was the only way to find out the whereabouts of Jiang Xinghai’s parents.

In a flash,

Mr. Hu’s body suddenly spun, and he closed the distance to press his attack. "Brat, I am at the Middle Stage of the Celestial Destiny Realm! You are no match for me, so why don’t you just surrender? Don’t you know that experience trumps youth?"

"So you really are at the Middle Stage, you old bastard. But you should also know that when it comes to a fight, youth and vigor always win!" Jiang Xinghai pressed forward, seizing the opportunity.

Mr. Hu’s figure suddenly spun, as ferocious as a tiger descending a mountain.

He let out a sinister laugh, his footwork shifting as he moved like a night owl, radiating killing intent.

Showing no fear, Jiang Xinghai let out a roar and lunged forward without hesitation.

The two clashed in an instant, their movements a blur. Every blow was lethal, and they were perfectly matched.

Although Mr. Hu was a seasoned veteran, Jiang Xinghai was no pushover. Young and powerful, he counterattacked swiftly.

For a moment, their figures crossed in mid-air, the dull thud of flesh-on-flesh blows echoing around them.

It was a battle of wits and courage, a breathtaking spectacle.

Jiang Xinghai used his advantage in youth and strength to launch a rapid counterattack, forcing Mr. Hu to retreat again and again.

But Mr. Hu was not to be outdone. A cunning glint shone in his eyes, and every one of his moves revealed his wily experience.

He used his vast experience to his advantage, rapidly changing his form. One moment he was as nimble as a spirit ape, the next he was pouncing like a ferocious tiger.

They went back and forth, locked in a deadly, inseparable struggle.

The longer the fight went on, the more shocked Mr. Hu became. His clothes were already soaked with sweat.

He had initially thought that even if they were evenly matched, he could rely on his abundant Inner Strength to simply outlast Jiang Xinghai, winning through a battle of attrition.

But!

Jiang Xinghai was actually growing stronger as the fight progressed! Not only was there no sign of his Inner Strength running out, but his attacks were becoming even more ferocious.

"This is bad!"

Mr. Hu let out a sudden roar, struggling to control his Inner Strength and calm his mind.

"Finally, an opponent I can really go all out against!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Xinghai’s every move was like peeling away layers of silk, systematically dismantling Mr. Hu’s defenses.

Ever since he had descended the mountain, he had never met a worthy opponent. This battle with Mr. Hu ignited a fighting spirit that had long been dormant, making it burn even hotter.

This was no longer a simple duel; it was a matter of life and death!

Suddenly—

A streak of dark red light suddenly shot out from Mr. Hu’s body, like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, and lunged straight for Jiang Xinghai’s face.

"That’s... a Tiger Snake!"

Jiang Xinghai’s expression turned more solemn than ever before.

This Tiger Snake was only as thick as a finger, dark red in color with yellow markings. Its head was flat and round, and its venom was one of the three most potent in the world!

Ordinarily, Jiang Xinghai, being an expert in medicine, wouldn’t have been concerned about even the most lethal snake venom.

But!

He was in the middle of a battle!

If that Tiger Snake bit him, he wouldn’t be able to neutralize the poison instantly!
