Chapter 1249 - 1248: Fleeing in Panic
"I'm not interested in sparring with him, but I've punished quite a few scumbags."Tang Rao felt it was honorable to do these things.
"Tang Rao, you're fast, accurate, and ruthless. I'm very satisfied with your training so far. But you're not a match for Bald. If you want to avoid injury, be smart. At critical moments, pretending to be weak is better than getting hurt. Why don't you get it?"
Wu Suowei tries to stop Tang Rao from fighting Bald. But Tang Rao won't listen; he's determined to face Bald.
"Master, there's nothing to fear about Bald. Just wait and see how I beat him down."
Beat down Bald?
Tang Rao is really bold. Wu Suowei himself isn't certain he could defeat Bald. What's Tang Rao so confident about?
"I won't stop you anymore. If you insist on fighting, go ahead."
Wu Suowei had tried reasoning with Tang Rao. He wouldn't listen, and Wu Suowei couldn't hold him back.
"Bald, just so you know, I've got a bad temper. Think carefully before you decide to fight me. Whether you face the same fate as your disciple is up to you."
Kid, you're as arrogant as your master. Do you really not take me seriously?
Just the thought of Tang Rao's disrespect could make Bald's anger soar to the heavens.
"Today, I'll make you regret your words. Prepare to die, kid."
Bald moved quickly, so fast that Tang Rao had to focus intensely to notice Bald's changing moves.
Tang Rao wasn't willing to be outdone. He was more serious than ever. Under such tension, one mistake could cost him his life.
Mid-stage Peak and Early-stage Upper Realm clashed. Tang Rao was at a disadvantage. Crossing a Great Realm, after a few hits, Tang Rao started to struggle.
"Tang Rao, if you can't win, step back. Let your master help."
Wu Suowei kept a close watch. If Tang Rao seemed to falter, he'd intervene, letting Bald feel what it's like to bully the weak.
"Master, I'm fine. If I can't beat Bald, how can I show my face again?"
Initially, Tang Rao's steps were a bit chaotic, but he gradually adapted.
He began to handle Bald's attacks with ease, his movements found a certain rhythm.
"Great, Tang Rao, keep up this rhythm. Bald has a bad temper and can't calm down; you've probably grasped the essence. Now, it's time to test your endurance."
Through voice transmission, Wu Suowei guided Tang Rao. After listening, Tang Rao launched a series of counterattacks. Whatever Bald didn't like, Tang Rao did. After a few moves, Bald grew angry, and resorted to wild attacks trying to end it quickly. Unfortunately, he didn't consider their similar strength; Tang Rao wasn't afraid of Bald.
In a critical moment, Bald aimed a punch at Tang Rao's face, but Tang Rao dodged and brought out a Wolf Fang Club. Bald couldn't stop, his fist got nailed to the club, covered in blood.
Even his bones were injured by the Wolf Fang Club.
It's said that fingers are connected to the heart; the pain in his fingers reached his heart, threatening to kill him with pain.
"Tang Rao, like master, like disciple; you haven't learned much, but you've mastered dirty tricks."
During the fight, Bald wanted to eat an Elixir Pill, but couldn't. Even a good pill needs reaction time. He'd remember this grudge, revenge could wait.
"Don't let me see you again, or I'll kill you!"
Unable to win, Bald fled.
An Early-stage Upper Realm fleeing from a Mid-stage Peak made Tang Rao feel embarrassed.
"Do you hate Tang Rao?"
As Bald fled, a man in black robes intercepts him, faster than Bald.
"Who are you?"
Bald stopped, trying to see the man's face, but was refused. Without giving up, the man's next words scared Bald greatly.
"Try to look at me again, and next time you show up, you'll be a corpse."
The man's words forced Bald to believe him.
"Whether I hate Tang Rao or not has nothing to do with you. What are you up to?"
Bald had never felt so frustrated, first attacked by Tang Rao's trick, then pursued for answers by the man in black. His mood turned heavy.
"I'm not up to anything. If you hate Tang Rao, I can help you with revenge. If you don't hate or want revenge, just forget what I said and leave."
Help him with revenge?
The offer stirred Bald, wiping away any desire to leave.
"You can really help me kill Tang Rao? And that older man just now?"
Bald understood that the man in front had strength. He wanted to bet on this stranger.
"I definitely can. Follow my method, and I'll ensure you easily take Tang Rao's life. The other man too, they're no threat."
With confidence, the man in black convinced Bald.
"I'll go with you, I just want them dead."
Bald quickly made the most 'wise' choice of his life.
The man in black smiled with satisfaction.
Besides Leng Pengfei, he recruited another who hated Tang Rao intensely.
"What do I do now? Can you tell me your name?"
The man in black shook his head, denying Bald's bold request.
"Call me Master now, follow me back."
The man in black became Bald's master.
Unaware, Bald's declaration of hatred for Tang Rao had established a contract relationship with the man in black.
"Master?"
They were not mutual helpers, but now servant and master after Bald agreed?
The odd relationship made Bald uneasy, but wisely he didn't question further.
Further questioning might anger the man in black.
"Tang Rao, you were good just now, but a bit too arrogant. Don't take things lightly next time."
While Wu Suowei was worried, Tang Rao was already bouncing back as if nothing happened.
"Master, don't worry. Even if Bald returns, I'll leave him incapacitated. Have faith in me."
