"Bang!"
In an instant.
It was as if a hurricane had swept through the pharmacy, the howling force spreading everywhere, causing pillars to break and bricks to fly everywhere.
Bai Cang didn't have time to think and immediately retreated.
But in the blink of an eye, their fight was over.
Sun Hongbo stood with his hands behind his back, looking down arrogantly at Han Tao amidst the ruins. "If there's a next time, I'll risk the abbot's punishment and the inspector's accountability to take your dog's life."
Han Tao remained silent upon hearing this, and like the wind, he swept past and disappeared around the corner in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xunzhao turned pale and immediately took off running, chasing after him in a disheveled state.
"This is what a Xiantian expert is like?"
Bai Cang stood there stunned, his slightly inflated ego instantly returning to its sobriety and calm.
This is just innate? It's clearly a humanoid beast, a flesh-and-blood Gundam!
The mere release of energy was like a divine weapon, so powerful it was utterly outrageous.
In less than a breath's time, the aftershocks of the battle between the two innate beings leveled the entire building, which covered several hundred square meters, to the ground.
If they were to go all out, even a thousand armored soldiers in formation would be wiped out.
And this is only innate?
How terrifying must it be for those who have entered the path of spiritual cultivation?
No wonder there are no large countries in this world; all mortal regimes are vassals of various sects.
Immortal Master, you are terrifying!
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help your master inside!"
Just then, Sun Hongbo, who seemed so imposing, suddenly coughed up blood and his face turned ashen.
Seeing this, Bai Cang quickly stepped forward to help Sun Hongbo up, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes, "Master, are you alright?"
A master is like a teacher or a father; once a teacher, always a father.
At this moment, seeing Sun Hongbo's desperate actions for him, Bai Cang couldn't help but feel moved.
Do I look like I'm alright?
Sun Hongbo's voice was weak, but his mouth was as hard as a divine artifact: "I'm old, not nearly as good as I used to be."
"If he were in his prime, I would take that bastard's life within three rounds!"
"Even now, if that bastard didn't have the inspector as his backer, I would have a hundred ways to kill him like a dog, and even make him not know how he died!"
"Master is still vigorous and powerful despite his advanced age!" Bai Cang casually agreed, then added, "Why do you have to be like this?"
"I am upright and have nothing to fear. Even if he used underhanded methods, what can he do?"
"Hmph! A moment of patience brings peace, but taking a step back only makes me angrier!" Sun Hongbo sneered. "If I let him bully my disciple like this to my face, how am I supposed to face the world after this?"
"The reputation of Wen Yue Dao must not be ruined by such a scoundrel."
After catching his breath, Sun Hongbo said seriously to Bai Cang, "Bai Cang, remember this: In the world of martial arts, you don't just fight for a living, you fight for pride. The arena of fame and fortune is also a battlefield, and even more so, an infernal prison."
"Sometimes you have to be a coward, stay as far away as possible, and run as fast as you can."
"But sometimes, you can't retreat even half a step. If you retreat even half a step, others will think that you're doomed, and countless hyenas will come up to tear you apart and make you die without a burial place!"
"This matter must not be left unresolved!"
"But you'd better find a way to get back at me yourself, or you'll never say you're my apprentice again!"
Sun Hongbo's words were like a thunderclap, reverberating and echoing in Bai Cang's heart.
It had a resounding impact, dispelling the last trace of hesitation and hope in his heart.
"Disciple has remembered! I will repay you tenfold in the future!!"
Bai Cang gritted his teeth and spat out a sentence.
Of course he must remember: not only Sun Hongbo's words and kindness, but also today's enmity and hatred!
If he hadn't been so determined (with the protection of a cheat), he wouldn't have been so easily deceived by the bewitching spell and revealed the truth.
Not only will the five little ones be in danger, but they could also face certain death!
How could I ever forget this hatred and resentment?!
How can one be considered a human being if one does not report this?!
"What kind of bullshit Moon Blade is that? I think it's an old poisoner!"
Meanwhile, at the corner.
With Chen Xunzhao's help, Han Tao also struggled to walk. "Damn it! An old man who doesn't die is a thief, the old saying is really true!"
A gap slowly appeared in his tight-fitting clothes, revealing a bloody mess beneath, from which bluish-black pus oozed out.
Countless granulation tissues were constantly writhing, as if thousands of poisonous insects were burrowing in and out of the wound, relentlessly gnawing at his flesh.
"Sir, should we report this to the abbot, or request the inspector to issue an edict to punish him?"
Chen Xunzhao quickly offered a suggestion, feeling a chill run down his spine. "This old scoundrel is incredibly audacious and his crimes are unforgivable. We must not let him off easily!"
"Bullshit! Are you afraid I haven't embarrassed myself enough?"
Upon hearing this, Han Tao kicked Chen Xunzhao over, took out a porcelain bottle, and haphazardly sprinkled medicinal powder onto the wound.
He then took out several more talismans and stuck them on his body, and stuffed several pills into his mouth before he could catch his breath.
Countless drops of dark blue blood flowed from his wound.
Hundreds upon hundreds of tiny worms scattered and fled from his blood.
It then turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated into the air.
"Remember this! Never mention what you saw today to anyone, or I will make you wish you were dead!"
After saying that, Han Tao hurriedly left.
I'm eating lemons! And you're reporting this in the newspaper? Report it to your damn Gobi newspaper!
In a brief exchange, he used up all the trump cards given to him by the Inspector.
If people knew that he couldn't even beat an old pharmacist, and even suffered a great loss after using up all his trump cards, he would be laughed to death by those bastards.
Most importantly: knowing that he had humiliated him, the patrolman could have him skinned alive!
At this moment, Han Tao had made up his mind: he absolutely could not let this clueless idiot continue to live, otherwise he would get himself killed sooner or later!
As Chen Xunzhao watched Han Tao's departing figure, his face turned ashen, as if his parents had died.
No! To be precise: it's even uglier than losing one's parents!
It's like an abandoned puppy watching its owner leave, not even having the courage to bark twice.
"Damn it! It's all that little bastard Bai Cang's fault!"
After a long while, Chen Xunzhao spat viciously and walked away in a sorry state, like a stray dog.
Just a few months ago, the other person was a skinny refugee who knelt at his feet and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for a full meal.
How long has it been? They've already become a force to be reckoned with, and even dared to ride roughshod over me?
This is absolutely outrageous!
"My mother! This is not over!" Chen Xunzhao tucked his tail between his legs and fled in a sorry state, but his eyes as he looked back toward the pharmacy were filled with resentment.
Some people are like that; even when they are being bullied by the strong, they only dare to take their anger out on the weak.
They lack the courage to wield a knife against the strong, but they possess not only the courage to bare their teeth at the weak, but also a great deal of it.
But is Bai Cang truly a weakling?
Perhaps so in front of Han Tao, but in a life-or-death situation, who lives and who dies is not certain.
But in front of Chen Xunzhao, it was obvious who was the strong and who was the weak!
