He was so pleased with himself that he lowered his guard and put down the axe.
Jian Ning smiled slightly again: "I just wanted to confirm. Since you all have the same idea, then don't blame me for being impolite." After saying that, she rushed forward.
A punch was aimed straight at the face of the man holding the axe. He watched as the small fist, clad in a woolen glove, smashed right in front of him. Although it didn't seem to be moving very fast, he couldn't dodge it no matter what he did.
With a cry of pain, he leaned back and crashed onto the ice with a thud. He twitched a couple of times and then lay still.
The axe in his hand flew into the air and fell back down, hitting him squarely on the calf without him even reacting.
Was he killed with a single punch?
The eldest brother stared wide-eyed in disbelief. What kind of woman has such strength? Is she some kind of prehistoric dragon?
"Third brother, you good-for-nothing, get up right now."
The man next to him thought his accomplice was faking it, so he ran over and nudged him twice, then checked his breath—no breath! He was actually dead!
"You dare kill someone? I'll fight you to the death!" His eyes were bloodshot, and he charged forward, hammer in hand.
Jian Ning kicked him directly in the abdomen, sending him flying through the air for more than ten meters before he landed with a thud on the ice. He didn't move.
The eldest brother shuddered in fright, and it was clear that liquid was leaking from his trembling trouser leg.
Seeing Jian Ning lift her leg, he knelt down with a thud, kowtowing and pleading, "Big sister, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please, have mercy and spare my dog's life!"
Jian Ning snorted coldly: "Spare you? Then who knows how many more innocent women will suffer?"
You're lucky to have met me today; I'll help you pass on to the afterlife together. With that, she kicked him more than ten meters away.
It landed right next to his accomplice. He turned back and pulled Li Mengyao, saying, "Let's go, sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I can protect you."
"Xiao Ning, are they dead?" Li Mengyao looked at Jian Ning in disbelief. Was her sister-in-law really that capable? How come she didn't know?
"Sister-in-law, don't you want them to die?" Jian Ning frowned slightly.
She wouldn't act rashly if she didn't, but once she did, there wouldn't be any survivors. Other people were one thing, but what she hated most were men who bullied women, whether in the cultivation world or now.
Even in the world of cultivation, she rarely made a move, but when she did, she showed absolutely no mercy. She couldn't give anyone the chance to covet her.
"No, I didn't mean to blame you. Shouldn't we call the police?"
Li Mengyao had always received socialist education, and she couldn't accept that a living person had died right in front of her. For a moment, she didn't even know what she was saying.
"Where are the police now? Social order has been in chaos for a long time. Sister-in-law, you shouldn't stay at home all the time. Go out and get used to the environment more often."
Jian Ning suddenly realized she had protected them too well; in the apocalypse, being too weak and unable to protect themselves wouldn't work.
I need to get my sister-in-law to learn some martial arts too. Even though she doesn't have spiritual roots, she can still protect herself if she practices martial arts well enough.
He pulled Li Mengyao straight back to Jinmao Mansion. He ignored the three people on the ground, not even considering the idea of killing someone and collecting the body.
He took the elevator back to the sixteenth floor and sighed as he looked at Li Mengyao's still pale face.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, no police will come to arrest me. The world has changed; people are the most terrifying creatures now. Tell Aunt and Uncle to be careful when they go out too."
He escorted Li Mengyao all the way to her doorstep, knocked twice, and Jian Anping opened the door and came out.
"Where did you go? Come in and warm up, look how red your little face is from the cold." He said, pulling Li Mengyao inside.
"Brother, I won't go inside. My wife was a little frightened, so please comfort her. Don't call me for meals."
After Jian Ning finished speaking, she turned to walk back. Just then, the door to room 1603 opened, and Xiao Lingfeng came out. Despite the cold weather, he was only wearing a white turtleneck sweater and carrying two roasted sweet potatoes.
"Jian Ning, here, have this!"
"Thank you." Jian Ning took the roasted sweet potato that was placed on a piece of white paper. Smelling the aroma, her stomach rumbled twice. She was really hungry.
"I want to learn kung fu from you, the kind you taught your brother, is that okay?" Xiao Lingfeng asked directly.
"Of course you can, but if you want to learn from me, do you need to become my apprentice? This is a unique skill of mine, you won't find another one like it in the whole of China."
Jian Ning had mentioned before that she wanted to teach him cultivation techniques, but Xiao Lingfeng had never said he wanted to learn. What's wrong with him today?
“Okay, is there a ceremony for becoming an apprentice? What do I need? I’ll prepare it.” To everyone’s surprise, Xiao Lingfeng agreed without saying a word.
"No need, I was just kidding. Come on, let's go to my house and I'll teach you. First, I have to eat this roasted sweet potato." Jian Ning's mind was completely focused on food; even good looks had to take a backseat.
Actually, Xiao Lingfeng, like that person in the cultivation world, should both possess the best and most powerful Heavenly Spiritual Root. Once they embark on the path of cultivation, cultivation becomes as simple as breathing.
I happen to have a set of Wind and Thunder Sword Techniques. I'll teach it to him later, and he'll have an ally when we go out to fight, instead of me having to do it myself. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Back home, the stove was lit, and the house wasn't cold at all. Jian Ning washed her hands, then ate two sweet potatoes; they were roasted to perfection, each one golden brown and glistening with oil. They were sweet and soft.
After finishing his meal, he clapped his hands and glanced at Xiao Lingfeng, who was sitting obediently. "Let's get this straight: you can learn kung fu from me, but you have to swear that no matter what happens in the future, you will never use the kung fu I teach you against me."
"Alright, I swear, I, Xiao Lingfeng, will never use the kung fu taught by Jian Ning to harm her, no matter what the circumstances."
"If I break this vow, may I lose all my skills and meet a terrible end." Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Lingfeng raised his hand and swore an oath.
Jian Ning was very satisfied; this kid really knew what he was doing.
She wasn't afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that Xiao Lingfeng would cultivate too quickly and surpass her in just a few days. If that happened, the disciple would starve the master.
How can he disobey her? It's best to make an oath to restrain himself. You see, an oath he makes now isn't without force; if he breaks it, only Heaven will punish him.
“Come and do it like me, repeat after me, sit cross-legged in your heart, relax and be natural…” Jian Ning taught a sentence, and Xiao Lingfeng recited it. Before long, he entered a state of complete absorption in the world.
This person is truly a genius at cultivating immortality. He's only just started, only a few times, and he's already mastered the basics. His future is definitely limitless. Jian Ning rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at the man before her.
Wow! How did it grow so long? Its eyelashes are even longer than mine.
It even has a slight upward curve. Look at that skin! It's so smooth and delicate, it's like the saying goes. I'm thinking of asking him what brand of face cream he uses so I can get some for myself too.
