Chapter 226: The Battle Between the Old Men
Chapter 226: The Battle Between the Old Men
After letting go of the Zheng brothers, Nightingale walked to the door of the ward and looked inside.
At that moment, Wu Bin was lying in bed, sound asleep as if he hadn’t just repulsed the Zheng brothers himself.
However, the fight between Wu Bin and the Zheng brothers had been completely recorded, and the exquisite boxing techniques displayed by Wu Bin had also been fully captured by Nightingale.
In Nightingale’s view, such boxing techniques definitely were not something Wu Bin, a college student, could have mastered casually.
Wu Bin being able to execute such techniques must be due to some unknown, extraordinary adventure.
...
At the psychiatric hospital, in a corner.
Mei Ji glanced at her watch, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed.
"They have been in there for twenty-five minutes. Should we leave?"
Sun Yuanshan said in a deep voice, "Wait a bit longer."
Mei Ji was displeased.
"The psychiatric hospital’s system has already started to self-repair. If they don’t pull out in two minutes, the alarm of the psychiatric hospital will go off"
"By then, not only them, but we also won’t be able to leave."
Mei Ji indeed wanted to complete the mission and get paid, but one needed to be alive to spend the money.
According to the intelligence they had gathered earlier, the ninth station’s special task force was stationed nearby, obviously here to protect Wu Bin.
If the alarm of the psychiatric hospital sounded, the people from the ninth station could arrive immediately, making it difficult for them to escape.
Seeing that Sun Yuanshan still had no intention of retreating, Mei Ji said sternly, "If you want to wait, stay by yourself, I’m leaving."
After saying this, Mei Ji packed up her things, ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, just at that moment, two elderly men wearing security uniforms and hearing aids walked over from a distance, blocking Mei Ji’s retreat.
Upon seeing these two old men, Mei Ji immediately became alert.
These two appeared harmless, their demeanor similar to ordinary elderly men exercising in a park.
But for some reason, Mei Ji felt that these two were not to be trifled with.
After all, these two old men couldn’t just be out for a walk so late at night, could they?
"Young lady, it’s very late. It’s not safe for a woman to go back alone. Why not stay here for the night?"
The speaker was the kindly-looking old Mr. Yu Changshan, his gentle eyes making him seem completely harmless.
The other, a rougher-looking old Mr. Chu Zhan, snorted.
"Old Yu, you’re still so hypocritical at your age."
"For such murderous villains, it’s simpler just to pinch them to death. Why bring them back at all?"
"If you can’t handle it, I’ll go first. It’s been years since I’ve stretched my muscles."
After Chu Zhan finished speaking, he rotated his right shoulder while approaching Mei Ji.
"Surrender, or die, choose one."
Mei Ji didn’t respond verbally but coldly eyed Chu Zhan as she pulled out the dagger from her waist.
Chu Zhan scoffed.
"It looks like you choose death, alright, then I’ll oblige you."
As soon as Chu Zhan said ’you’, his whole body propelled forward, vanishing instantly!
So fast!
The two were dozens of meters apart, yet in the blink of an eye, Chu Zhan had entered Mei Ji’s striking range!
Mei Ji didn’t have time to think as her dagger aimed straight for Chu Zhan’s throat.
Seeing the pitch-black, poisoned surface of Mei Ji’s dagger, Chu Zhan immediately ducked to avoid the fatal swipe at his neck and didn’t wait to gather his senses before a heavy punch aimed at her face crashed down!
Chu Zhan’s punch was so swift that Mei Ji didn’t even have a chance to defend; she could only watch helplessly as the fist grew larger in her field of view!
Just as Mei Ji thought she was done for, Sun Yuanshan placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled her back.
Mei Ji moved back half a meter.
It was this half meter that barely dodged the lethal punch.
Chu Zhan wanted to press his advantage and continue the attack, but Sun Yuanshan stepped forward and threw a heavy punch, colliding with Chu Zhan’s fist.
Under the force of the huge impact, both men involuntarily took two steps back.
Chu Zhan furrowed his brows, looking at Sun Yuanshan with some surprise.
"To be able to exchange blows with me, you must not be some unknown nobody," he said.
Sun Yuanshan didn’t answer Chu Zhan. Instead, he spoke to Mei Ji in a deep voice, "You take another path. I’ll cover our retreat."
Mei Ji knew all too well what covering their retreat against someone like Chu Zhan meant.
She couldn’t help but speak:
"Boss, you..."
Sun Yuanshan was noticeably impatient.
"Go."
Seeing that Sun Yuanshan had made up his mind, Mei Ji didn’t say anything more. She turned and retreated down another path.
Seeing Mei Ji starting to leave, Chu Zhan once again rushed toward her at a very fast speed.
"Trying to leave? Leave her behind!"
Chu Zhan was incredibly fast, and with his burly figure, running was like watching a huge black bear charging!
Mei Ji was scared stiff.
Just as she was about to be caught up, Sun Yuanshan delivered a flying kick from the side aimed at Chu Zhan.
Chu Zhan originally didn’t intend to pay him any mind, but the ferocity of Sun Yuanshan’s kick was undeniable.
Instinct told Chu Zhan he couldn’t just take the blow without consequence.
If he took the kick head-on, if it didn’t kill him, it would severely injure him!
With no other choice, Chu Zhan had to give up the chase after Mei Ji, choosing instead to engage Sun Yuanshan in combat.
As soon as the two collided, Chu Zhan realized that Sun Yuanshan’s strength was extraordinary.
His own style of fighting was always ferocious, known for its powerful, direct attacks that few dared to face head-on over the years.
However, in a matter of seconds, Sun Yuanshan exchanged more than a dozen moves with him and not once seemed to be at a disadvantage.
This meant Sun Yuanshan’s own mastery of martial arts was not shallow; he definitely also favored a forceful and aggressive approach!
"Yu, stop watching the show from the back. Make your move now!"
Yu Changshan said with a smile, "No rush, no rush. You seldom take action, let’s let you move around more."
"Move around my ass, it’s time to finish this quickly so I can chase that girl!"
With Chu Zhan having said so, Yu Changshan naturally had to make his move.
Seeing Chu Zhan raise his right hand in a sword gesture, alarm bells went off in Sun Yuanshan’s mind!
He instinctively dodged to the side, but it was a step too slow.
A sharp earthen spike thrust fiercely from the ground, instantly severing Sun Yuanshan’s left arm!
The severed left arm spun through the air, and blood sprayed out from the wound on Sun Yuanshan’s left arm.
Sun Yuanshan immediately used Acupoint Sealing to stop the bleeding, but even so, his complexion was deathly pale.
"You’re actually a Technician?"
Sun Yuanshan was very surprised.
When he had been exchanging blows with Chu Zhan, he had actually kept a third of his attention on Yu Changshan.
Instinct told him Yu Changshan wasn’t a simple character, a very dangerous individual.
But even with such caution, he was still ambushed by Yu Changshan.
Technician.
The most mysterious and ancient of the factions, a branch descended from the pre-Qin dynasty Qi Refiners.
Based on the five elements, it allows control, transformation, and generation of all things in the world.
If he hadn’t dodged quickly just now, it wouldn’t be as simple as losing only a hand.
It seemed his opponent hadn’t intended to leave any survivors, using a deadly move right from the start!
