"Die!!!"
Charles was a seasoned warrior after all. Even though the mysterious woman's knife left a terrifying wound on his face, and even though the blood flowing from the wound temporarily blurred his vision, he still reacted relatively in such a situation based on his experience.
The almost immortal body given by Liu Xiaojiang, coupled with Charles's superpower that leaned towards endurance training, the effects produced during the period were almost multiplied.
So when he threw this punch at the mysterious woman, in his impression, even if Windsor, who also had an immortal body, came, she would be easily blown up if she accidentally touched his fist!
However …
The scene of the mysterious woman being blown up as Charles expected did not appear. He saw that this woman, whose physical strength was far inferior to his, was actually able to react quickly to his punch at such a close distance.
Not only did she take a step back to avoid the buzzing fist in the air, but after Charles' fist brushed past her face with the air wave, she even approached him at a close distance like a ghost like before. And … she raised her hand and slashed at him fiercely again!
But this time …
Charles considered the wound on his face and did not choose to take it head-on again. Instead, he chose to retreat immediately like a woman to avoid the enemy's edge.
But in the end …
He stepped on the kitchen knife that the woman shot into the ground earlier, causing his dodging movement to pause for a moment.
Puchi!
Charles raised his relatively thick arm in a hurry and blocked the position where the mysterious woman slashed with the knife.
And this time …
Although his entire arm was not cut off by the woman, considering the depth of the wound and the large amount of blood gushing out of the wound, as well as the sense of dissonance that he had lost the ability to use his arm, there was no doubt that he would completely 'lose' an arm in the following battle.
The next moment …
Taking advantage of the moment when the woman pulled out the kitchen knife from his muscles, Charles immediately jumped back without hesitation, obviously wanting to distance himself from the woman for a while.
Unfortunately …
The woman obviously did not intend to leave any chance for Charles.
When she realized that Charles seemed to have the intention to retreat and jumped back high as if he wanted to distance himself from her, she immediately kicked the kitchen knife that she had shot into the ground with her own hands. She then made the sharp blade shoot towards Charles who couldn't dodge in time in the air.
His target … was Charles' heart!
Though Charles wasn't considered weak, and even in the Inhumans circle of this land, he wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat the Ten Great Bosses with his immortal body, but at least it wouldn't be difficult for him to survive against the Ten Great Bosses, excluding Celestial Master.
This was also one of the main reasons why Liu Xiaojiang was not worried about leaving him alone by the old man's side instead of sending someone else to protect the old man.
But even so,
Even though Charles possessed the so-called 'undying body' and his strength was on par with the Top 10 Legendary Warriors, he was still considered an ordinary human. And … How could a human move freely in the air?
Therefore,
Charles, who tried to dodge the blade in the woman's hand, ended up in an even more passive situation because of his actions. Faced with the blade that came flying at him again, he couldn't dodge and naturally used his arm to block it out of habit.
However, when he was about to block the attack, he suddenly remembered that his heart was not his weakness. Fortunately, he trusted his master, Liu Xiaojiang, and gave up the idea of using his last available arm to protect his heart.
But little did he know that …
Charles could have used his hand to block the attack, but in the end, he gave up after a brief hesitation. This was all seen by the woman who hid her face under the mask.
The next second …
The blade that seemed to be sharper than the woman's Chinese kitchen knife pierced Charles' heart like cutting tofu without any hindrance!
It was just that this injury, which was fatal to ordinary people, didn't have any effect on Charles. He landed steadily and stopped in his tracks. Then, he slowly reached out his hand and pulled out the bloody blade from his chest.
"As expected …"
"Master has never lied to Windsor and me. I … am also immortal."
Hearing this …
The mysterious woman who used the dramatic mask to hide her identity looked at Charles. Her gaze paused for a moment on the kitchen knife in his hand. Then, she stood on the spot and tilted her head as if she was thinking about something. She didn't attack Charles recklessly like before.
"What? Are you afraid? "
Charles finally believed that he was immortal. Even though he had lost an arm in the battle, even though he knew that the opponent could break through his physical defense, he didn't really feel any sense of crisis after calming down.
On the contrary …
He thought that as long as he could rely on his special physique to keep dodging and consuming the physical strength of this mysterious woman, then not only would he be able to save his life, but he might even have a chance to capture her alive.
As for the terrifying scars on his face, as well as his dominant hand that had its tendons cut off for the time being … it seemed that they were just minor injuries!
However …
"Little Zha, your injury … should be okay, right?"
Before the mysterious woman could speak …
Perhaps she was wondering why Charles hadn't come up for so long, or perhaps she had more or less noticed the commotion at the pond in the courtyard.
The old man who had been drinking tea in the attic study had actually made the stupid decision to take the initiative to come over. He even didn't know when he was standing in front of the back door of the attic that led to the pond.
After all, the old man was an ordinary person. Even if he knew about the existence of mutants, he didn't know much about their methods.
Therefore, when she saw Charles being stabbed in the heart with her own eyes, but he was still able to pull out the blade as if nothing had happened, she naturally felt a little absent-minded in addition to being worried.
In the old man's eyes, this kind of thing was simply like 'I thought all of you were mutants, characters in Wuxia novels', but unexpectedly, 'all of you have secretly started to cultivate immortal spells behind my back'!
After all, there was still an unimaginable difference between hearing and guessing and seeing with one's own eyes.
This was just like how you might feel that some things were nothing when you watched movies or read novels, but as long as it happened in front of your own eyes and even became a personal experience … the senses and feelings would definitely be different!
Although the old man had long heard about the immortal body, seeing Charles pull out the blade that was stabbed in his heart with his own eyes … Fortunately, the old man's body was still considered healthy, and his identity and status had created a stronger ability to accept things!
Otherwise …
The consequences would be unimaginable!
"Old Leader! Hurry up and go back! "
At this moment, Charles, who wasn't nervous and didn't feel any sense of crisis, saw the old man walking out of the attic by himself and immediately became nervous about the mysterious woman opposite him as if he was afraid that she would suddenly go berserk and hurt the old man.
After all, whether it was due to personal feelings or because he didn't want to affect Liu Xiaojiang's plan, at least in his heart … he didn't want to see the old man in any danger!
However …
The old man didn't seem to care about this. He even shook his head at Charles and said,
"It's okay …"
"If this girl was really here for me, I'm afraid she would have rushed in to finish me off when you came to park the car just now. After all … if you had discovered her earlier, you wouldn't have been injured so badly, right?"
After that …
The old man didn't care about the anxiety on Charles' face. Instead, he turned to look at the mysterious woman with interest and said,
"Girl, what exactly are you doing here? Since your target isn't this old man but Little Zha, the child who follows me around, then just now … why didn't you kill him directly?"
"Although I don't know much about the means of you mutants, at least I can see that in the fight between the two of you just now, you have the upper hand from the beginning to the end. And you obviously don't have any military experience because you don't give me the unique feeling of a soldier."
"If you really want to kill Little Zha, just now … why didn't you use that flying knife to shoot at his head? That way, even if he blocked it with his hand, you could take advantage of the time when he wanted to pull away and weaken his strength, right?"
"Besides …"
"The feeling you give me, girl, seems to be … very similar to the pitiful girl that Little Zhao once mentioned to me."
"…" The mysterious woman looked at the old man but didn't say a word.
When Charles saw that the mysterious woman didn't seem to move, he immediately covered his crippled arm and walked up to the old man. "Old leader, I think you'd better …"
"I've already said that it's fine." The old man shook his head and rejected Charles' cautiousness. He stood in front of the attic door, but his gaze was always on the mysterious woman.
"You're really bold, girl. Do you know where this is? Who exactly am I? Why did you suddenly come here to behave atrociously … Should I say that you're very brave, or should I say that you're really too silly?"
"I remember your name. It should be Feng Bao Bao … right?"
"!!!" Feng Bao Bao.
Feng Bao Bao?
Upon witnessing the woman's reaction, Charles immediately understood that the old man was right. This should be her name.
However, due to his identity and duty, he was unfamiliar with the name Feng Bao Bao. He recalled that his former master, Liu Xiaojiang, had occasionally mentioned Feng Bao Bao's name when he and Windsor conversed overseas.
"Tsk …" The old man recalled Zhao Fangxu's words, especially the details about this pitiful girl, Feng Bao Bao. He couldn't help but reveal a rare trace of dissatisfaction.
"Could it be that Zhang Chulan again? Or is it Xu Xiang's Fourth Young Master? Why did he suddenly send you here to cause trouble for me … How insensible."
"Zhang Chulan said …" Feng Bao Bao finally spoke in Sichuan Mandarin.
"If someone discovers my identity, I should first remain silent and not give them any flaws. But if my identity is really exposed, then … I'm actually here to help confirm the identity of the foreigner."
"Zhang Chulan said … he's afraid that you'll be deceived. He …"
At this point,
She pointed at Charles perfunctorily and said, "… he's actually Ying Goule's subordinate."
"…" the old man.
"…" Charles.
"Lie! Old leader! This woman must be lying! Although I don't completely understand her accent! But … her purpose is 100% not that simple! "
"Oh, and …" Feng Bao Bao seemed to have suddenly thought of something. "Zhang Chulan also said that I … have a good relationship with Liu Xiaojiang. If the foreigner causes trouble, just say that I'm your master's friend. I'll definitely be more … valued than a foreigner like you."
"WTF?!" Charles couldn't help but speak his native language when he heard these arrogant words.
However..,
Just as Charles adjusted his emotions and was about to flare up, the old man behind him patted his shoulder and stopped him.
"Girl, that kid Zhang Chulan should have something to say to me, right? Do you … still remember?" After the old man stopped Charles, he smiled and looked at Feng Bao Bao, who was wearing a red mask.
"Oh, I remember …" Feng Bao Bao nodded vigorously and said,
"Zhang Chulan said …"
"If after pointing out the foreigner's identity, you … didn't get someone to deal with him, then let me tell you …"
At this point..,
She even paused for a moment and put away her not-so-standard Mandarin. She imitated Zhang Chulan's rare serious tone and said,
"If you ask a tiger for its skin, you have to be prepared to be eaten by the tiger. But if the other party is not a real tiger, but a rare and loyal house cat, then … we have to be prepared to keep it loyal."
"If you die …"
"Who can guarantee that the house cat won't turn into a tiger in the end? So no matter if it's necessary for the plan or not, your existence … is the most valuable thing in our hands. Besides, no matter what the 'other party' offers, we can't use you in exchange."
"After all, you can't guarantee that future generations will be like you, always treating the loyal tiger as a house cat. What if … what if something goes wrong in the future, no one can make the tiger pull out its fangs by itself."
"… Wow, this kid is really a talent." When the old man heard these words, he couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart. He didn't expect that Zhang Chulan, who he thought was only a little smart and would never think of others, was actually the only person who saw through the plan.
And …
No matter how one looked at him, he was just a young man in his twenties …
"Then … what else?"
"As long as you promise to be a lobbyist for Sister Bao 'er after the event and make Liu Xiaojiang take the initiative to tell the secret about Sister Bao' er's background, I … hope to be qualified to inherit your will."
