On the brink of the apocalypse, Zuo Ling is brought back to her distant relatives' Ding family and safely survives countless disasters through the chaos.

However, on the verge of death, s...

Chapter 217 Covered in Dust

The crew cut voice:

"Pei Nansheng, I heard you have fire-based abilities. Let's have a match."

As soon as he finished speaking, eight fireballs the size of golf balls shot out from his palm and hurtled towards him.

Pei Nansheng waved his hand, and the eight small fireballs merged into a blue ball-sized fireball, which flew back at more than twice the speed of its arrival.

The tall man was shocked. He stepped on the gas and steered the boat to avoid it. The fireball hit the yacht half a meter away, like oil being poured into a pot. The sparks that splashed up hit the two men.

Although I wasn't injured, I was still startled.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate," Pei Nansheng shouted, "Take this!"

Also, eight fireballs the size of golf balls will be released.

At first glance, the two appear to be no different. However, upon closer inspection, the fireball fired by the crew cut is whitish in color, while the fireball fired by Pei Nansheng is bluish in color.

The blue flame was faint and dim, with no scorching temperature and even a rather slow speed.

The man with the buzz cut sneered, "All show and no substance. You've really fooled me." He reached out to take the bait, intending to return the favor to Pei Nansheng.

Ah… a scream.

The man's hands were covered in blood; on one hand, the bare finger bones were exposed, and on the other hand, three fingers had been melted away.

He was in so much pain that he grimaced and his face was contorted.

The tall man flew into a rage and swung out eight thick, thorny vines.

Four vines were aimed at Pei Nansheng, while the other four were used to bind Zuo Ling and Xiao Hao.

Pei Nansheng unleashed a tongue of flame, which clashed with the vines. The flame burned rapidly, at an incredible speed.

If the tall guy hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been burned by his own vines.

Zuo Ling twitched her fingertips slightly, and specks of light attacked the vines. Bang, bang, bang, bang, the four vines snapped midway.

Before the tall man could react, Pei Nansheng activated his light-based supernatural power and attacked the speedboat's fuel tank.

Boom... Flames leaped everywhere, the temperature rose higher and higher, and it looked like the yacht was about to explode, so the two abandoned the boat and escaped.

Zuo Ling steered the boat quickly closer, shot the Binding Immortal Rope at the two, and threw out the Tiger Claw Steel Wire Rope to hook them.

The two struggled fiercely, but the more they struggled, the tighter the grip became, causing their bodies to fall and swallow several mouthfuls of water.

The tall man shouted, "What do you want?"

"What else can I do but take you back?"

Zuo Ling's smile was incredibly warm and friendly.

"Let us go, or you'll regret it."

They're already down on their luck, yet they still dare to threaten people.

Pei Nansheng's fingertips flickered with flame as he said coldly, "Believe it or not, I'll make sure you go back naked."

The two men looked grim. They were considered prominent figures in the Ning family, and going back naked would make them too ashamed to face anyone.

"Not much ability, but a big mouth, huh."

Zuo Ling poked the two of them with a crowbar and teased them:

"All show and no substance. With such meager skills, you dare to keep me from eating dumplings? I've wasted my time accompanying you all."

They were tied to the back of the yacht and towed along the way.

Tall people are fine; at most, they'll just end up with a belly full of water.

The man with the buzz cut had an injury on his hand, and before he could receive treatment, he had been in the water for more than half an hour and had swallowed a lot of water. When he finally got ashore, he was on the verge of death.

The two vomited for a long time before they could empty their stomachs of all the water.

Zuo Ling had no sympathy. She kicked the two men several times and threatened them, "Stop pretending to be dead. Get up now, or I'll strip you naked."

Pei Nansheng's face darkened. Why does his sister always remember to rip men's clothes off? What kind of fetish is that!

The tall man angrily said, "Untie us! How are we supposed to get out of here if you don't?"

Zuo Ling slapped him across the face and then kicked him twice:

"You've got some nerve. Even after all this, you still dare to yell at me. Try yelling again, and I'll strip you bare."

The tall guy, used to being arrogant, opened his mouth to swear, but when he met Zuo Ling's cold eyes, he shrank back in fright.

I realized I'd run into a shrew; the threat of stripping them was definitely not an intimidation.

Hmph! Zuo Ling picked him up, then picked up the buzz cut guy and leaned him against him.

"Hurry up, or I'll make you walk naked."

Xiao Hao glanced at his older brother, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

She thought to herself, "Sister, shut up. Didn't you see Brother's face? It looks so gloomy, like it's about to rain."

Many people were paying attention to the battle situation, and when they saw them return, many people rushed over here.

Most of the villagers recognized the crew cut and the tall guy. When they saw the two tied up, their eyes showed surprise and joy, but no one dared to show their happiness on their faces. They didn't even dare to whisper among themselves, and instead distanced themselves from Pei Nansheng and his sister.

Zuo Ling sighed, "The Ning family's prestige is truly formidable."

Traveling slowly, by the time we returned to our lodgings, there were at least a thousand people watching.

When they saw them return, He Xiao and the others' eyes lit up.

The Ning family thugs were stunned. No one expected it to turn out this way. They raised their guns to aim, but were afraid of hurting the crew-cut guy and the tall guy.

Zuo Ling held up her buzz cut in front of her and said irritably, "Do you want to kill them? Hurry up, don't hesitate."

Even if the thugs had the guts, they wouldn't dare kill the crew-cut guy and the tall guy.

Someone tried to report the incident, but Zuo Ling hit him on the leg with a crowbar, saying, "Did I say you could leave?"

Someone outside the crowd quietly ran off to report the news, but Zuo Ling glanced at them and ignored them.

"Put down all the guns, or else!" Zuo Ling stabbed the tall man in the arm with a knife. The tall man screamed in pain, which made everyone shudder.

He Xiao's eyes swept over Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling's faces, and he thought to himself, "I misjudged them. It turns out that the one in charge of this family is actually a woman."

He had lost too much blood, his hands were in excruciating pain, and he was swaying unsteadily. He was about to collapse and cursed:

"Let it go, let it all go."

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; once he recovers, we must get our revenge.

The thugs all put down their guns.

"Hand over all the magazines."
