The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty

WHOOSH!

Jiang Xinghai had no choice but to dodge, abandoning the fatal blow he was about to land on Mr. Hu.

The Tiger Snake's venom was comparable to that of the Poison King. A single bite would spread the toxin throughout the body, causing a slow and agonizing death.

"Xinghai, be careful!"

At that moment, Leng Ning, who was hiding in the shadows, also spotted the Tiger Snake, and her expression changed drastically.

She knew Jiang Xinghai was skilled, but she understood even better the price of resisting such a potent poison.

But not even Jiang Xinghai had anticipated the next move. Just as he flicked his wrist to send a silver needle flying to cut down the Tiger Snake, the creature suddenly twisted in mid-air and shot toward Leng Ning!

"Damn it!"

Seeing the Tiger Snake rushing toward her, Leng Ning's expression changed again.

She hadn't expected the beast to attack her. As she shot backward, she felt a warm hand wrap around her and lift her up.

It was Jiang Xinghai, who had arrived in a flash.

"Die!"

At the same time, Jiang Xinghai released several silver needles from his hand, pinning the Tiger Snake with its glowing green eyes to the wooden door.

'Trying to escape?'

Mr. Hu knew he was no match. Even though he was one realm higher than Jiang Xinghai, he didn't dare to continue the stalemate.

He leaped onto the roof and desperately fled into the distance.

"You die here today!" Jiang Xinghai set Leng Ning down and leaped after him.

He could feel that his condition had improved significantly.

'If I don't kill him now, I might not get another chance like this.'

He threw a punch, blasting a large hole in the roof and sending Mr. Hu flying.

But Mr. Hu was, after all, an old fox who had lived a long life.

As he was sent flying, he stumbled but used the force of the blast wave to continue his escape.

'This guy... he's surprisingly tough.'

Jiang Xinghai's brow furrowed. This exchange had consumed a lot of his energy, but it hadn't done much to Mr. Hu.

The two of them began their final chase across the rooftops of the urban village.

Fear had already taken root in Mr. Hu's heart. All he could do was flee for his life.

'If I could do it all over again, I would never have provoked Jiang Xinghai, not even if it killed me!'

'As long as I can get out of this alive, I'll notify Mr. Long immediately!'

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH...

Suddenly, dozens of silver needles shot from behind with the force of a thunderclap. They formed a cloud that seemed to obscure the sky, completely overwhelming Mr. Hu.

"This—!"

No matter how experienced Mr. Hu was, he was terrified by Jiang Xinghai's attack.

PTHK! PTHK! PTHK...

In the blink of an eye, his body was riddled with dozens of silver needles, turning him into a human sieve.

Mr. Hu had never in his life imagined he would die like this!

"He was really tough to deal with."

Jiang Xinghai collapsed onto the roof, panting heavily.

It had taken quite an effort for him, at the early stage of the Celestial Destiny Realm, to kill Mr. Hu, who was at the Middle Stage of the same realm.

But in the end, he had done it!

"Xinghai!"

Just then, Leng Ning finally caught up. "Are you hurt? Let me see."

"I'm fine, just exhausted." Jiang Xinghai waved his hand, signaling for Leng Ning to take care of Mr. Hu's body first.

Soon, they returned to the small courtyard that served as the Black Cloak's stronghold.

Jiang Xinghai lay back in a Grandmaster's Chair to regulate his breathing, gulping down several Gathering Essence Pills.

This battle made him realize his own shortcomings.

According to rumors, Mr. Hu was only a Creation Realm expert.

But after today's fight, he learned that the man had actually reached the Middle Stage of the Celestial Destiny Realm.

A minor realm higher than him.

'In that case, Miss Feng, one of the founders of the Black Cloak, must also be in the Celestial Destiny Realm.'

'And Ji Xiao must be a Celestial Destiny Realm expert as well!'

'It's even possible he's already reached the late stage of the Celestial Destiny Realm!'

At this thought, Jiang Xinghai's heart sank.

He had originally thought his current strength was enough to go to the Imperial City and do as he pleased.

It seemed now that he had been too arrogant.

'After I get back from abroad, I should probably stay in Shanhe Province and cultivate for a while. It'll be a good opportunity to expand the Shen Family's influence into the Provincial City, and also handle things like opening a branch for the AM company...'

As Jiang Xinghai regulated his breathing and meditated, many thoughts ran through his mind.

His most urgent need right now was to rapidly increase his cultivation level and prepare for his future trip to the Imperial City!

Therefore, to raise his cultivation quickly, he had to get involved with more women!

Virgins and those with special constitutions were, of course, the best.

'Feng Lulu?'

Jiang Xinghai gave a wry smile. 'Is it finally time to make a move on Feng Lulu?'

'Tonight, Feng Lulu asked me to get a room with her for an acupuncture and massage session. If I take the opportunity...'

Jiang Xinghai shook his head. He could be shameless.

But not so shameless as to force himself on someone while taking advantage of their vulnerability.

「One hour later.」

Jiang Xinghai opened his eyes.

"You're awake."

Leng Ning had been waiting quietly by his side.

"Much better." Jiang Xinghai felt comforted by Leng Ning's presence.

"I've already disposed of Mr. Hu's body, along with Maitreya Buddha's. I threw them into the cellar and incinerated them," Leng Ning said, pointing to the cellar entrance.

"Good work."

Jiang Xinghai paused in thought for a moment. "But we can't stay here any longer. Let's go, quickly!"
