Bai Jinghong looked utterly indifferent.
He stared at Lone Wolf and said contemptuously, “What’s this? Playing the hero, are you?”
“You think I won’t blow out your other eye?”
“Heh heh, hahaha!” Lone Wolf laughed maniacally. “Arrogant brat.”
“There’s always someone stronger out there. For you to be so reckless, daring to covet the Dragon Gate’s future mistress!”
With that, he hefted his long blade, ready to strike.
Bai Jinghong was searching for an opening.
His opponent was stronger than him. The Copy Ring was primed and ready.
At the moment of engagement, he had to copy his opponent’s strength first. Otherwise, the victor today was truly uncertain.
“You say she’s the future Dragon Lord’s Wife? Has your brain been stuffed with shit? Your Dragon Lord likes men.”
Lone Wolf froze, gritting his teeth. “Absurd!”
“Absurd? Go ask around yourself. Oh, right, an old glass like you, an old fart, maybe he’d fancy you too. You also have a chance to become the Dragon Lord’s Wife! The ‘Old’ Madam!”
“This woman has absolutely no relation to your Dragon Lord. And I’m not afraid to tell you, she’s only ever been with me. Based on my medical skills, I can confirm she’s already carrying my child!”
Lone Wolf couldn’t help but glance at Wen Chunyu.
Wen Chunyu also looked incredulous.
At that very moment, Bai Jinghong’s foot stamped down as he swiftly attacked.
A fierce punch blasted towards Lone Wolf, energy qi radiating, imposing and overwhelming!
Alarm surged in Lone Wolf’s heart as he instantly raised his blade to block.
“Clang!”
A piercing crash rang out. Bai Jinghong seized the opportunity decisively, his left hand slamming onto Lone Wolf’s shoulder.
He was about to copy his strength!
But Lone Wolf was a master, after all.
He reacted quickly, angling his steel blade and slashing straight upwards.
Bai Jinghong was forced to retract his hand, launching another heavy, powerful kick.
Lone Wolf countered with a palm strike. The two collided head-on, energy qi erupting and sweeping through the room.
Lone Wolf frowned, involuntarily stepping back.
Using the recoil, Bai Jinghong flipped backward, landing steadily on the ground.
“So young, yet already an Earth Rank Warrior. Truly not simple. Your survival is a hindrance to the Dragon Lord!”
“Enough of your yapping!” Bai Jinghong lunged forward again.
Lone Wolf attacked as well.
Just as the two were about to collide, Bai Jinghong suddenly shouted, “Hold on!”
Lone Wolf paused subconsciously.
But in the next second, something horrifying happened to Lone Wolf.
A dagger appeared in Bai Jinghong’s hand from nowhere, thrusting directly towards his heart.
Lone Wolf was suddenly on the back foot.
In close-quarters combat, the threat of a dagger was greater. His long blade was too long to maneuver sideways in time.
He could only raise his hand to deflect the dagger and counter with his fists.
The moment they made contact, a fierce battle erupted.
The two clashed repeatedly, twenty moves exchanged in an instant, energy qi raging like a gale, ravaging the room.
The room’s decorations, wardrobe, and mirrors cracked under the strain.
The chandelier shattered, its bare frame swinging precariously.
Wen Chunyu on the bed was even more terrified, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket.
During the fight, Lone Wolf was inwardly shocked by this kid’s astonishing strength and physique.
Though his own realm was higher, he still couldn’t gain the upper hand.
Seeing Bai Jinghong’s dagger stabbing towards him again, Lone Wolf had to settle for second best. He reached out and grabbed Bai Jinghong’s knife-wielding wrist.
His other hand caught Bai Jinghong’s incoming fist.
This played right into Bai Jinghong’s hands.
Bai Jinghong immediately began copying his realm.
The two were locked in a stalemate, contesting energy qi.
Lone Wolf then noticed Bai Jinghong’s aura was climbing, rising upwards.
It quickly reached the Mid Earth Rank—the same level as his own!
Originally, dealing with Bai Jinghong was already somewhat difficult for him. This bastard was young, incredibly fierce, and possessed a seemingly endless recovery ability.
A young man’s fist is feared. Lone Wolf was truly getting on in years; his physique and strength simply couldn’t compete with Bai Jinghong’s.
Now that Bai Jinghong’s realm had risen, he was truly going to lose.
“Old Coot, today you die without a doubt!”
Bai Jinghong grinned savagely, his right hand suddenly exerting force as the dagger drove towards the position of Lone Wolf’s heart.
Fighting with his back against the wall, Lone Wolf staked everything on a desperate counter, using almost all his power to resist.
“Brat, you’re still too green! Your dagger will never reach me!”
Lone Wolf, refusing to yield, laughed maniacally.
“Oh? Is that so?”
Bai Jinghong feigned surprise, then extended a finger and pressed a button on the dagger’s hilt.
In the next instant, a section suddenly shot out from Bai Jinghong’s short dagger—the damn thing more than doubled in length!
Lone Wolf, with his extensive combat experience, instantly shifted aside.
But this stab, though it missed his heart, pierced straight through his arm.
“Ahh~” Lone Wolf gritted his teeth. The qi he had gathered suddenly dispersed, as if his energy qi was leaking away.
Bai Jinghong gritted his teeth, twisting the knife handle counter-clockwise.
Sweat immediately beaded on Lone Wolf’s forehead, the pain excruciating.
“Dragon Gate? Eat shit!”
Bai Jinghong suddenly exploded with force, shoving the dagger forward.
Lone Wolf couldn’t withstand it and staggered backward.
Finally pushed against the wall, Bai Jinghong switched to his left hand holding the knife while his right fist instantly rose. A massively heavy punch hammered directly onto the pommel of the dagger.
Like a sledgehammer driving a nail!
“Thunk!”
With a sharp sound, the knife was driven halfway into the wall.
And Lone Wolf’s arm, impaled, was naturally pinned to the wall as well.
Unless he severed his own arm right now, any movement would be agony, let alone pulling the knife out.
“Ugh… agh…” Lone Wolf wailed in agony. He knew this was big trouble.
During the close combat earlier, many of his internal organs had already suffered internal injuries from clashing head-on with Bai Jinghong.
Looking at Lone Wolf pinned to the wall, Bai Jinghong drew his pistol and aimed it at his forehead.
“Tsk… that’s no fun!”
Saying this, he casually tossed the pistol onto the bed to Wen Chunyu. “Here, the decision is yours!”
“Shoot him, or shoot me. Choose!”
Bai Jinghong was utterly mad, spreading his arms wide open, showing no intention of dodging.
Wen Chunyu trembled all over.
The gun was right in front of her. She quickly grabbed it, finally feeling a shred of safety.
She raised it shakily, her mind going blank for a moment.
“Choose. Kill him, or kill me!” Bai Jinghong pressed again.
“I… I…” Wen Chunyu was deeply conflicted.
“Madam, I ended up in this predicament precisely to save you!”
Lone Wolf began to panic.
No one is unafraid of death.
Right now, he was looking for an opportunity to break free and run.
He no longer cared whether Wen Chunyu lived or died; his own miserable hide was the priority.
And the opportunity lay in the instant Wen Chunyu fired at Bai Jinghong.
So he had to make Wen Chunyu shoot at Bai Jinghong.
Bai Jinghong wore a smile on his face. Clearly, this was merely a test.
If Wen Chunyu unhesitatingly aimed at him, his Soul Capturing Eye would make Wen Chunyu shoot at Lone Wolf instead.
It was just that in such a case, Wen Chunyu would also die!
Wen Chunyu was still trembling. Holding the gun, she truly didn’t know what to do.
To shoot Lone Wolf? She couldn’t bear the thought. After all, he had come to save her.
But to aim at Bai Jinghong? Needless to say, failure was guaranteed.
And just now, Bai Jinghong said she was carrying his child…
Though she didn’t know if it was true or false, she didn’t dare gamble on it.
Thus, she simply dropped the gun.
Seeing Wen Chunyu drop the gun, Lone Wolf despaired completely.
“Bai Jinghong, you… let him go… I… I’ll do whatever you want…”
Wen Chunyu pleaded.
“Since you put it that way, I’ll let him go. After all, he came to save you. I can’t make things difficult for you, right?”
Bai Jinghong smiled.
Lone Wolf couldn’t help but curse, “Fool! How could a ruthless villain like him ever keep his word? You wretched woman…”
Bai Jinghong gave a cold snort. His foot stomped hard.
His entire body shot towards Lone Wolf.
Mid-charge, Bai Jinghong bent his right knee, executing a flying knee strike aimed directly at Lone Wolf’s throat.
“Boom!”
“Crack!”
The sound of bones snapping echoed, and tiny cracks even appeared on the wall behind Lone Wolf’s neck!
This flying knee ended Lone Wolf’s life in an instant.
Lone Wolf’s eyes bulged, blood gushing from his mouth. He died on the spot.
Wen Chunyu covered her mouth, her eyes filled with terror.
“I promised you I’d let him go, but this old bastard didn’t appreciate it. Can’t blame me.”
“Anyway, you’ve repaid your moral debt. It’s fine!” Bai Jinghong said as he pulled out the dagger.
Losing its support, Lone Wolf collapsed thunderously to the ground, like a pile of mud.
