As night fell, it started to rain. The temperature had dropped significantly due to the autumn shower and the wind blowing from the river. The sudden downpour had chased all the people away from the harbor, only a few fishing boats were left swaying in the waters. There was also a fairly luxurious yacht, which was lit up but there was no sign of people moving on it.
Ning Tao put down the God's Will electric motorbike's kickstand, and stood beside the bike, surveying his surroundings. It was 10 minutes before 8 p.m. when he and Tang Zixian had decided to meet, but there was not a person to be seen at the empty harbor. He furrowed his brows instinctively. "Is she fooling me?"
A sound came from behind him, like that of a kung fu master running rapidly across the water.
Ning Tao turned around and spread out the Unbreakable Fan as his other hand grabbed onto the Mauser pistol at his waist.
Yet, it was not Tang Zixian who was walking
The boat traveled downstream. Raindrops of the autumn drizzle fell on the boat but made no sound. A light fog formed over the river, the city lights could be still be seen vaguely. Gradually, the city disappeared among the fog, nothing could be seen. Within this period, Tang Zixian rowed the boat to a smaller stream. On both sides of the riverbanks were farms and villages. Being far away from the bustling city, such scenery brought a sense of serenity. Ning Tao was playing with The Whisperer smartwatch while sitting inside the boat, exploring its new functions. However, no matter how he tried, The Whisperer seemed to only have that one function derived from the cloudy ore. Ning Tao was disappointed. After giving so much, The Whisperer he had created was virtually just a dog translator. How useful would such a function be to him? "That watch in your hand is the one you snatched from Yang Long, right?" Tang Zixian, who was rowing the boat at t
Anyone with an understanding of traditional Chinese culture would know about Xu Xian. He and snake demon Bai Suzhen became husband and wife, and gave birth to a scholar son, Xu Shilin. However, this Master Fakong had mentioned Xu Xian at this point, was it referring to Ning Tao being together with a snake demon? So, Master Fakong having suddenly mentioned Xu Xian reminded Ning Tao suddenly of another person—Fahai. Then Ning Tao spat out his tea. Master Fakong raised his hand gently. In that instant, it felt like there were a thousand hands holding onto the tea and saliva that Ning Tao had spat out, making them be suspended in midair. Right after, he waved his hand lightly then all the water droplets congregated into a big ball and flew into the rain outside the thatched pavilion. Tang Zixian glared at Ning Tao, with annoyance in her eyes. Ning Tao said with slight awkwardness, "Sorry about that, I drank too quickl
After opening the convenient door, Ning Tao pushed his electric motorbike "God's Will" back to Sky Clinic. There was a black box on the motorbike's back seat, bound by the herb-collecting rope. An umbrella was tied to the rope. The umbrella, called the Night Phantoms Umbrella, was Tang Zixian's— a magic tool. In the end, Ning Tao gave in to Tang Zixian. He promised to mend her Night Phantoms Umbrella for free. This was not because Tang Zixian was pretty, nor was it because she had pestered him relentlessly over this. It was because they shared a common goal in Bai Sheng. The reason why he promised Master Fakong to mend the Demon-slaying Bowl was not just because he urgently required spiritual materials. The other reason was Bai Sheng. This Demon-slaying Bowl was a magic tool once used by Fahai to subdue a white snake. Bai Sheng was also a 1,000-year-old snake demon. It would be useful against him, and might help Ning Tao in the fight against Bai Sheng. Af
At Cold River Temple. "Master, this is the mended Demon-slaying Bowl. See if it works," Ning Tao handed the bowl to Master Fakong. Master Fakong could not wait to take the Demon-slaying Bowl in his hands, scrutinizing it. The cracks on the Demon-slaying Bowl were gone. Its spiritual energy was clearly more powerful than before. Dong! Suddenly, the Demon-slaying Bowl gave off the sound of metal being hit. An energy vortex immediately appeared. Suddenly, from within the thatched hut came a suction force. A few small items flew into the energy vortex of the Demon-slaying Bowl. This was the outcome of Master Fakong activating the Demon-slaying Bowl. The energy vortex of the Demon-slaying Bowl soon disappeared. The small items which had been sucked into its energy vortex also vanished. No one knew where they had gone. "Master..." Master Fakong's tears welled up in his eyes, his
Dusk had arrived. Resplendent lights and lamps were everywhere in Guan City. A Rolls Royce stopped before Hakka Alley in Guan City. A muscular bodyguard resembling King Kong alighted the car. He opened a car door. Joanna emerged from the car, walking in the direction of the alley. Her bodyguard wanted to follow her, but she waved him away instead. He remained at the alley entrance. Ning Tao did not tell her his house number, nor did she know where he stayed. She just kept on looking uncertainly, hoping that familiar face would appear before her. She had only walked a short distance when a house door suddenly opened. She saw a dark figure. The lights in the house were turned off but she had a familiar feeling. "Come in." The voice was also very familiar. Joanna did not feel the least bit of hesitation or wariness. She immediately entered the house. Ning Tao shut the house door and turned
At dawn, a young woman in a flat cap appeared at the entrance to Hakka Alley. She surveyed the alley for a while before entering it. Several dozen paces later, she halted her steps, her eyes landing on the door of the nearby Sky Clinic. The morning light shone on her and she had a slim, elegant figure, almost like a lifelike, artistic sculpture. Tang Zixian had arrived. She had a haversack on her shoulder, and it seemed heavy. The door opened a small crack. Tang Zixian's eyes saw it and she walked over. She did not even inquire, immediately pushing the door open and walking in. She saw Ning Tao standing in the small living room. There was an affectionate smile on his face. Neither of them greeted the other. Ning Tao passed Tang Zixian the envelope in his hands. "What you need are all here. Take a look at them first." Tang Zixian took the envelope and passed the haversack on her shoulder to Ning Tao.
Bai Sheng gave Tang Zixian a glass of whiskey. As he watched her, there were some strange look in his eyes. Tang Zixian said with a smile, "I thought you would pour me a glass of plain water. I'm not a good drinker. It will affect my work." After she said that, she put the wine glass on the tea table. Bai Sheng asked casually, "Why did you come alone?" Tang Zixian answered, "A colleague of mine had been held up. He will bring a camera later. Let me call to hurry him." She took out her cell phone and called. Bai Sheng sat on the sofa, sipping a small mouthful of whiskey. His eyes shifted to outside the large French window, as he gazed at the sky covered by dark clouds. The weather had changed so suddenly. Was it going to rain? The line went through. Tang Zixian said, "Come here quickly. Mr. Bai's time is very precious. Don't make him wait." With these words, Tang Zixian hung up the phone.
Dong! The divine bell tolled and reverberated in Ning Tao's consciousness. As he recited the first line of Your Text, its sound emanated mightily in every direction within this bizarre space. This sound carried with it the spiritual power of the Sky Clinic owner. No matter where the sound wave reached, zombies would disintegrate. The scene was like the morning sun dispelling darkness! But there were really too many zombies in this bizarre space. Even these sound waves with special spiritual power could not disperse all the zombies before fading themselves. The remaining zombies swarmed like a rising tide towards Ning Tao and Tang Zixian. "Kill! Kill! Kill him!" Bai Sheng roared like a madman. Ning Tao opened his mouth. "I rest within the womb, listening to the sound of the Way." Dong! The divine bell tolled sonorously again. The sound waves carrying the speci
