Chapter 1129: Half a Life
With a solemn gaze fixed on Troy, he exclaimed in a deep voice filled with shock, "You..." For Troy’s transformation, Bai Wuchang suddenly didn’t know how to describe his astonishment. At this moment, he really couldn’t imagine how Troy’s speed suddenly doubled. Doubled, yes, it doubled. His speed was already like a phantom, and now...
Troy, equally intrigued, glanced at his right arm and suddenly let out a low laugh. It must be like this; when he acquired that book of evil arts, it didn’t specify the method. He accidentally discovered earlier that pain could instantly condense the aura within, increasing his power dozens of times, growing at an extraordinary speed, until he met Xiao Lin. Such evil arts were sealed by Xiao Lin using acupuncture points, causing the airflow to be unable to circulate normally. Although it didn’t affect his life or deprive him of his martial prowess, he couldn’t advance. But the previous bombing and Bai Wuchang’s attack this time instead broke open the sealed acupuncture points, making him feel incredibly relaxed. Hahaha, he really is a madman!
With a cold snort, Bai Wuchang quickly regained his composure. He quietly watched Troy haphazardly bandaging his bleeding left arm, producing a clucking sound from his mouth.
Troy said sinisterly, "Do you need to call the other ugly freak? I can send you both to the Underworld as the real Black and White Impermanence."
With those words, Troy grinned hideously and dashed again at a meteoric speed, brushing the ground as he charged forward. Speed... indeed doubled!
Bai Wuchang’s gaze slightly narrowed. After a brief shock, a fierce intent suddenly flashed through his sharp eyes. An even more frenzied and bloodthirsty battle erupted in the forest.
Speed, strength, technique—their similar powers collided in this dark night, adding madness and bloodlust to the mix.
The two fought like wild leopards, constantly clashing with dazzling attacks, each move a killing blow, each impact meant to slay the opponent.
Troy wanted to test his true strength, to see how far his speed, power, and skills had advanced. He also wished to solidify his power at this stage, even hoping to make a small step forward. Thus, the bloodthirsty clash was his desire, and in fighting, he leaned more towards offense than defense.
Stimulated by their fiery spirits, both fighters leaned towards offense over defense, their fierce battle unconsciously pushing them in various directions. Sometimes east, sometimes west. Originally intending to fight once in this forest, they unknowingly shifted their general direction further away.
As they constantly changed positions, two figures rapidly approached them, watching the fighting pair from above.
"The Black Doctor isn’t here!" Yeh Lishu didn’t find the Black Doctor’s trace on the scene, confirming that perhaps he was also ambushed elsewhere. But Xiao Lin, standing to the side, had a more serious expression as he observed Troy’s strange speed, sighing deeply. "What’s wrong? He seems capable of handling it."
"We still can’t intercept him. He has already broken through the top level. I don’t know what will happen next. Remember, no matter what we do, Troy must remain within our line of sight."
"You mean, he broke through your acupuncture seal?" Yeh Lishu also felt extremely surprised. This possibility was small. Xiao Lin had to use a lot of his own Inner Strength to mend the deficiencies within Troy to seal his massive internal power. Relying on Troy alone would be impossible.
Xiao Lin nodded without speaking.
In just an instant, in the time it takes to turn one’s head, Troy and Bai Wuchang vanished from Xiao Lin’s sight. Even the four humanoid beasts and Hei Wuchang disappeared without a trace in that fleeting moment, leaving Xiao Lin’s heart trembling. Though he anticipated Troy’s transformation, he didn’t expect it to reach this level.
"Should we follow?" Yeh Lishu, also aware of Troy, although amazed, felt less worried. With Troy’s current breakthrough, he could handle such opponents, even adding one or two more wouldn’t make a difference.
"I’ll search for the Black Doctor. Once I find Troy, head to the previous cave; Lao Jiu should be there." Xiao Lin contemplated, deciding the immediate priority was to find the Black Doctor and rescue Troy. As for the hundred tons of drugs in that area, he didn’t desire it as much. Of course, bringing it back would be best, but if circumstances didn’t allow, he’d let it go. "I think Troy found their stronghold. These two don’t seem like military personnel; they differ greatly from the ones we encountered. We must act quickly and decisively; without fully understanding the situation, we should not linger long. I fear sudden changes, and the cargo ship explosion couldn’t have not alerted the Maritime Bureau. Chuck has a criminal record, and it’s unavoidable to be discovered at sea. What we are doing now must not attract police attention."
"Understood. Be careful." With that, Yeh Lishu moved to the right. After all, Xiao Lin still held a military identity as the Major General of Dragon Soul. Although he had the authority to act first and report later, applying this to others wouldn’t require such caution. Still, knowing that someone in the military commission wanted the Xiao Family exterminated, they had to act prudently. Xiao Lin wasn’t a gangster, not like them. If the police accused him of murder, the military commission chairman would surely respond harshly.
"Shou!" Suddenly, Xiao Lin grabbed Yeh Lishu’s right arm, his dark eyes flickering with a certain light. "Remember, act swiftly and decisively."
Xiao Lin worried; this rare somberness showed his confusion about the unknown, prompting Yeh Lishu to inadvertently smile wryly. "I am, after all, a black cat from hell with nine lives, don’t worry! Even if something happens to me, don’t you still have the Military Doctor who can bring the dead back to life?"
"Very well, then I’ll make a few more holes in you. If you dare to casually leave marks on the bodies I’ve saved, I’ll surely do just that, remember!" Xiao Lin hesitated no longer. Patting Yeh Lishu on the shoulder, he leapt onto a tall tree, disappearing from Yeh Lishu’s view in several jumps. Only when Xiao Lin’s silhouette could no longer be seen did Yeh Lishu let out a silent sigh and returned to his path, rapidly departing. (To be continued.
