43: Chapter 30, I have no bottom line!

Phoenix did not like Snake Woman.

From the first moment she saw her, she very much disliked her.

Her clothes were too revealing, red leather jacket and pants, vulgar and coquettish.

Tang Fei sneaked several peeks at the woman’s chest…

Of course, Tang Fei couldn’t entirely be blamed.

Who goes into battle wearing nothing under their leather clothes?

Even she had glanced several times with eyes filled with disdain and criticism…

Indeed, quite voluptuous.

She had lost!

And that made Phoenix even more unhappy.

She didn’t bother exchanging words with Snake Woman, Phoenix Whip already in her palm, and she beckoned with her finger.

“Come here, let me whip you.”

Very proud!

And very tsundere!

Sure enough, Snake Woman was provoked.

She smiled ominously at Phoenix and said with a smirk, “There’s an old saying that a downtrodden Phoenix is not as good as a chicken, have you heard of it?

When you fall into my hands…

hehehe, let’s see how I’ll play you to death.”

Phoenix did not respond, not even willing to spare her a word.

Such a woman, if she were in New Star, would have been dismissed by the guards long ago.

Thus, Snake Woman became even more enraged.

She drew two Snake-shaped Poison Curse Blades from her waist, and with a leap, she pounced towards Phoenix.

Poison Curse Blades originated from the Egyptian civilization before the cataclysm.

When forging such weapons, wizards would inscribe complex runes on the blade to give it strange attack effects.

Being struck by this blade meant that even if the enemy was lucky enough to survive, the curse would follow them for life.

Some users would even smear deadly poison on the Poison Curse Blades to make them doubly convenient and brutal for both killing enemies and for suicide.

Phoenix saw the weapon Snake Woman was using and knew she specialized in close combat, so the Phoenix Whip in her hand transformed into a ten-foot-long spear and lunged at Snake Woman’s chest.

Snake Woman’s body was as soft and agile as a snake, twisting into complex shapes in mid-air.

One Poison Curse Blade knocked the spear away, while the other blade chopped directly at Phoenix’s face.

Aren’t you heaven’s darling?

Aren’t you the bright moon in the starry sky?

I will scar your face.

Before I kill you, I’ll destroy your beauty first.

Snake Woman was full of jealousy towards Phoenix.

Phoenix understood her intentions.

Jealous of her?

She had met many envious women before.

What made this one so special?

The spear quickly retracted and turned into a three-inch-long dagger in her hand.

The dagger blocked in front of her face, and the clanging of metal on metal resonated.

The attack failing, Snake Woman’s offensive grew more ferocious, with Poison Curse Blades falling like dense raindrops.

Every slash desperate, every slash lethal.

Her body also kept closing in on Phoenix, squeezing the space between them in their struggle, like a soft snake intent on entangling her.

Phoenix knew she absolutely could not let her get close.

If she succeeded, Phoenix would be truly stuck, and that would put her completely at Snake Woman’s combat tempo.

As Snake Woman was about to close in again, the dagger in Phoenix’s hand once more became a long spear, thrusting at Snake Woman’s chest.

Phoenix wanted to push Snake Woman back and widen the distance between them again.

Unexpectedly, Snake Woman moved forward instead of retreating, thrusting her chest out to meet Phoenix’s long spear.

“Seeking death!” Phoenix scoffed coldly.

She refused to believe that this woman had an impenetrable chest, capable of withstanding her Phoenix Whip.

Thinking this, she once again intensified the Yin Yang Qi infusion into her spear, which hummed as if coming to life, eager to break free from her grasp.

You seek death, I’ll oblige you.

A mocking smirk appeared on Snake Woman’s lips.

As her chest was about to be pierced by the spear, her breasts suddenly shifted.

Yes, shifted.

Abruptly, bizarrely.

It was like trying to cut off someone’s finger, only for the finger to suddenly disappear.

Such magic tricks are common, where the finger vanishes.

But breasts?

How could they vanish?

This was Snake Woman’s practice of the Boneless Technique, when her bones could become as soft as dough, changing shape at will.

Her body slid along the spear’s tip, then crashed directly into Phoenix’s embrace.

It was too late for Phoenix to retract the spear, as she watched Snake Woman’s Poison Curse Blade plunge straight at her throat’s vital spot.

“I told you….” Snake Woman’s face held a mocking smile, her long tongue licking the air, hissing like a snake: “When you fall into my hands….”

Bang!

Phoenix threw a punch, and Snake Woman’s body, carried by the wind of the punch, drifted behind Phoenix.

Her legs clamped around Phoenix’s waist, with Poison Curse Blades slashing at Phoenix’s head like a raging storm.

Phoenix, irritated by Snake Woman’s “Sticky Word Technique,” knew she had to remain calm.

The more dangerous the moment, the more vital it was to bet one’s life, the more essential extreme calm was.

Because only then can you spot the opponent’s weakness, find the sliver of chance within a seemingly fatal position.

Phoenix found her opportunity.

Her Phoenix Whip extended behind her like it had eyes, binding the two Poison Curse Blades together, then stretched endlessly to also securely bind Snake Woman.

Wrapped like a dumpling of the Dragon Boat Festival, Snake Woman struggled in vain, immobilized.

The more she tried to use brute force, the tighter the rope bound her.

It sank deep into her flesh, blood beginning to seep.

With a gentle pull, Phoenix brought Snake Woman in front of her.

She looked at Snake Woman who was both shocked and scared, and smilingly said, “It seems your wish is going unfulfilled…”

Phoenix’s wrist flicked gently, and Snake Woman’s body was sliced into countless pieces by the whip.

Turned to dust and vanished without a trace.

Crack!

Those two Poison Curse Blades fell to the ground, along with some other items.

Snake Woman was dead, her equipment scattered all over the ground.

——

Tang Fei was an extremely cautious boy; on the Old Land, if one wasn’t careful enough, the grass on their grave might grow taller than others.

Faced with that silver bullet, he had been sufficiently cautious.

He held his breath at the first moment, trying not to be enveloped by the silver glow.

Alas, you can elegantly dodge a bullet, but it’s much harder to perfectly evade wind, rain, and light.

Tang Fei could be certain that he hadn’t breathed in that light powder, it was only his body that had been illuminated by the light of the bullet’s explosion…

Could that really cause someone to lose the ability to move?

How far had the weapons on New Star advanced?

He really wanted to take a look at New Star; with his cleverness and the addition of such weapons…

What prey could he not catch?

What beast could get away?

He wanted to become the King of All Beasts!

Forget it, forget it, strike that, too dramatic…

Now, the first thing Tang Fei had to face was that deep blue Energy Bullet named “Time.”

Energy Bullet, Energy Bullet, one explosion takes out a large area.

With his current reaction speed, he had hardly any room to maneuver.

Since he couldn’t dodge, he decided to take the offensive.

The Dog Leg Knife was summoned by Tang Fei’s will, charging forward to slash at the Energy Bullet.

The blade of the Dog Leg Knife trembled, as if it knew the danger of its task.

It was like saying goodbye to its master.

Boom!

The Dog Leg Knife detonated the Energy Bullet before it reached Tang Fei, exploding in mid-flight.

The Energy Bullet disappeared, and the Dog Leg Knife was blasted into fragments.

This Dog Leg Knife, which had accompanied Tang Fei for many years, bravely and decisively sacrificed itself to save its master in a moment of peril.

Tang Fei was blown away by the explosion, crushing several saplings in succession before finally coming to a halt against the trunk of a tree big enough for two people to embrace.

In doing so, he actually broke the effect of the “Prison Cage” bullet’s potion.

The anesthetic drug originally had a time limit, and since Tang Fei hadn’t breathed or ingested any, naturally, it wouldn’t affect him much.

But in a battle between masters, opportunities are fleeting, and even being affected for just 0.001 seconds is enough.

Using the force of the collision, Tang Fei kicked off the trunk and rushed toward Joker’s position.

He couldn’t give Joker another chance to shoot.

Who knew what kind of bullet he would fire next?

“I’ll send you another bullet…” Joker, with a ferocious face, roared at Tang Fei, “It’s called ‘Hope’.”

“Time” won’t give you more time, “Hope” definitely won’t bring you hope.

It’s here to harvest hope.

Just when you think you’re back in action, its arrival can erase everything.

The bullet split into three, three into nine, then shattered into countless tiny pellets.

Dense and endless, covering the sky.

They completely blocked Tang Fei’s path and left him with no chance to escape the scene.

Tang Fei in midair extended his right palm, with a hint of green light emerging on it.

Under the influence of that green halo, the bullet storm sweeping toward him suddenly paused in a bizarre manner.

Neither advancing nor falling.

Qi Manipulation Skill!

Controlling knives with Qi, and now bullets too.

This was something only a Qi Manipulation Skill practitioner of medium caliber could do.

Tang Fei pushed forward with his palm, and then those countless tiny bullets reversed course, flying toward Joker’s location.

Joker, not expecting Tang Fei to have such a move, threw himself to the ground and rolled desperately.

Crackle and pop…

The bullets flew over his head, shattering numerous flowers and plants.

As Joker tried to get up from the ground, a sharp Dagger was already pressed against his throat.

“I surrender!” Joker raised his hands, looking obsequiously at Tang Fei, “You’ve seen what I can do, I can be of use to you…

Whatever you ask me to do, I’ll do it.

Whomever you want me to kill, I’ll kill…”

“I can definitely be a good, obedient dog.

Don’t you want to hear the dog bark?

I bark so well…

Woof woof woof…

What do you think?

Isn’t it realistic?”

“No wonder you’re called Joker…

you really live up to your name…” Tang Fei was too exasperated to mock.

This Joker, truly mad!

“Right?

Right?

If you don’t like the name Joker, I can be called Little Dog…

What do you say?

Spare me?

I’ll go kill for you, eliminate everyone else…

I really have no bottom line…”

“So do I!” Tang Fei said.

He pushed the Dagger forward, cleanly thrusting it into Joker’s neck.
