Chapter 170: There’s Still A Tiger Pelt There…

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Maram no longer spoke, and only reached out to point at Vigilante A. That hurricane seemed like it was producing a life form, and suddenly jumped into the air.

It had the thickness of at least two or three people hugging together, and its length was approximately dozens of meters. It shook its head and wagged its tail, looking awe-inspiring.

After releasing the Ult, the three opponents turned around and ran, and after running a few steps, the three of them simultaneously disappeared into the air.

Fang Ning was stunned as he witnessed it, and was rendered speechless. After a long time, he then said, “Now this is a boss monster that actually has modern battle knowledge, changing position after launching an assault to avoid getting caught by the enemy…”

The hurricane was large in mass, but was not fast. When it plunged down towards Vigilante A’s position from the air, he dodged it in an instant.

After it launched its attack, Fang Ning then noticed the opponent’s characteristic.

That massive hurricane failed to hit Vigilante A, and passed through the mountain rocks and trees. However, it was silent, and unexpectedly did not damage even a single blade of grass, or displace a single speck of dirt.

Even before that, it did not sweep up any leaves or dust after it formed. Fang Ning had thought that it had withheld its power, only to break out when hitting its target.

However, now it seemed like it was no normal hurricane. It was as if it did not affect anything in the physical realm at all.

With this kind of rotational velocity, at the edge of the hurricane, the winds would be equal to countless Flying Blade spells if it were a normal hurricane. If anyone were to even brush past it, it would definitely cause frightening destruction. Anywhere that it passed through, rocks should be turned into powder, and vegetation should be turned into debris.

However, it did possess this destructive power now. It could only be said that its target was not material.

Recalling how the opponent mentioned that Vigilante A’s soul was greatly injured, Fang Ning then understood that this was a vicious trick specialized to attack the soul.

The hurricane failed its first attack and jumped to the air again. It gazed down at Vigilante A from high above, like an enormous wind serpent.

This snakelike hurricane suddenly struck down with its head out once again. Its speed was much faster than before.

Vigilante A dodged again, and it once again returned without accomplishing anything. Its head struck the ground, but still it did not leave any traces.

After two failed assaults, the wind serpent’s stature shrunk rapidly. Soon, it shrunk to half a meter long, with finger-like thickness, suspending in the air. It was seemingly small, but the dangerous feeling given to Fang Ning had increased dramatically.

This time, it was locked on to Vigilante A. In the blink of an eye, it had run through his chest, leaving nothing, not so much as a scar.

Vigilante A fell to the ground, holding his chest. He could not stop vomiting blood, but the blood disappeared before reaching the ground.

When Vigilante A collapsed, the wind serpent immediately disappeared into the air, and the dangerous feeling that it brought to Fang Ning had simultaneously disappeared without a trace.

Fang Ning was stunned, Sir System had such a prissy move?

He hurriedly looked through the system notifications, or else he, a slacker student, would not have understood anything.

[The heirs of the Three Hindu Gods Maram, Sina, and Kamal, used Hurricane Array, and summoned “Serpent of Annihilation”. Locked onto Vigilante A as the primary attacking target. If Vigilante A is not severely wounded to the brink of death, continue attacking until all power has been exhausted.]

[The three people chose to escape and go into hiding.]

[“Serpent of Annihilation” attacked the System.]

[The System evaded the attack.]

…

[“Serpent of Annihilation” underwent morphological changes, evolved into “Sighing Serpent”.]

[“Sighing Serpent” attacked the System.]

[The System activated “Absolute Defense (Low-level)”.]

[“Sighing Serpent’s” attack was nullified.]

[The System activated “Advanced-level Disguise”.]

[The System has entered near-death disguise mode.]

[“Sighing Serpent’s” attack purpose is accomplished, automatically vanished.]

Fang Ning felt admiration from the bottom of his heart, and he said, “Not a bad move, Sir System.”

The System replied, “It’s acceptable…”

Fang Ning looked for a while and felt somewhat off, “Don’t vomit that much blood. If I lose too much blood, I become weak easily.”

The System said, “Don’t worry. The blood being vomited is just to put on a show. I have already saved you in the System Preservation Area. I’ll let you go back in awhile, you won’t become empty.”

Fang Ning then nodded his head.

Vigilante A leaned on a stone with a dying expression.

Fang Ning was also uncertain whether the three people were being a little too careful. They had not shown up until now.

He opened his mouth and asked, “Where did those people run off to?”

The System replied, “They are hiding nearby, probably observing our movements. Just wait for a while, I will chase after them now, and catch one at best. When the people from the Truth Department arrives, all of them will be caught.”

Fang Ning felt relieved after hearing so. He looked at the notification time in his QQ app, it had already been twenty minutes since he sent the message to Zheng Dao. There should already be people arriving here based on the Truth Department’s reaction time, unless, they suffered great loss in the Land of Heritage, and are now unable to send people here?

What if they usually only relied on Qiao Anping to kill in the frontlines? He remembered that they had six Pond-level experts. As far as he knew, three of them were elderly, but there were two of them who looked young.

He messaged Zheng Dao for inquiries, and Zheng Dao replied that they had already contacted the Truth Department three times. They said that the arrangements were already complete, and could only wait patiently.

Fang Ning was completely speechless. “I’m tired of waiting, did you really think that I was here enjoying the Northwestern winds?”

He looked at his surroundings. The cold wind whistled, and there was no life around him. It was the first time Vigilante A was so miserable.

The good thing was no one else could see him, but it would not matter even if they did, since he was not using his true identity. Speaking of which, it had been a long while since he used his real identity…

Fang Ning pondered. “Vigilante A’s identity is really quite restricting. He has to speak like a big-shot every day, and can’t even let others see him play games. After all of this is over, it would be better to change back to my real identity so I can fool around a little. I can also take the chance to investigate the condition of the people, and see just how far the society has developed. I’ve been running around all over the place with the System for too long, and have lost touch with society…”`

Just as he was entertaining the thoughts in his head, he heard light and swift footsteps coming from afar. Fang Ning thought that people from the Truth Department had arrived, but as he looked through the System View, he sighed immediately. Just as he thought that no outsiders saw him, an outsider had arrived.

However, it was not just any person running here from afar. Instead, it was Qi Yan, a beautiful person that had some relation to Vigilante A’s identity.

It seemed that she noticed Vigilante A leaning against a stone from a distance, clenching his chest and vomiting blood uncontrollably. Her footsteps quickened significantly, yet her movements were extremely smooth and natural.

Fang Ning was very curious, this place had mountainous forests and frozen pools, and was nowhere near the mysterious ravine. Less than twenty minutes had passed. Qi Yan not only managed to find this place, yet she even ran over here, which was quite impressive.

As Fang Ning sighed, the System suddenly spoke, “Host, I still don’t know if there is a comparison. This Qi Yan only studied the ‘Basic Internal Strength: Half-step Jerk’ from me, cultivated for around half a year, but she has already obtained mastery over it. You can see that her movements are lightweight, her internal energy is pure. If she goes further, she could reach the Vital Energy Protection Realm. I taught you three high-level starting points, ‘Dragonization Ability’, ‘Atmospheric Morality Technique’, and ‘True Bodhi Tactics’. The first set, you only practiced it like a smatterer, and for the other two, you haven’t even been able to get started. Comparing this, I realized that it wasn’t that you were too lazy, it was just that you are too stupid…”

Fang Ning felt slighted, and argued immediately, “You also know that she cultivated basic internal strength, and the ones that you gave me were all high-level techniques. Every mountain has different difficulties, how could you even put us in the same category.

The System said, “You cheated me again…”

Fang Ning could admit his laziness, but never his foolishness, because that would thoroughly cause him to lose status. Since he already had hell, there was no need for him to increase in anger during combat.

The ‘Atmospheric Morality Technique’ was the hardest to cultivate, but the other two sets had almost the same difficulty too. If that were the case, then he might as well study the basis of an easy one.

Thus, he said, “Then you should also teach me a basic skill, and let me practice for a while. Then you will know whether I am stupid or lazy… Bah, I almost got caught by you. I am neither lazy nor stupid, is it just that your previous techniques were too difficult.”

The System, “Alright then, just wait for me to train in isolation and master ‘Vigilante’s Flying Book’, and I’ll pass it to you. If you can cultivate it into perfection, only then I shall believe you.”

Fang Ning grit his teeth, “Bring it on.”

While they were conversing, Qi Yan had already arrived in front of Vigilante A. She lowered her body, and asked with a concerned expression, “Vigilante A, are you okay?”

Fang Ning was at a loss for words. Apparently, when a beautiful girl met a handsome guy, even their IQ would decline. With Vigilante A’s appearance of vomiting blood endlessly, how could he possibly be okay?

The System said, “Please deal with this woman and let her leave immediately, it is unsafe here.”

Fang Ning replied, “Ah.”

Fang Ning left to take back his own body, and immediately translated, “It is dangerous here, you must leave quickly.”

It seemed like Qi Yan did not hear him at all, and a bright silver needle appeared in her slender palm, which made Fang Ning tremble in his heart.

She opened her mouth and said, “Extend either one of your hands, I will treat you with the silver needle.”

Fang Ning asked the System, “Does your disguise pass?”

The System, “It definitely passed.”

Fang Ning felt his head spin seeing that she was about to stab him with a needle. Thus, the System said, “Alright, wait until she finishes treating you, you can stop vomiting blood then. Otherwise, I don’t know how to plan to make her leave.”

Fang Ning then followed her orders, and extended his left arm.

Not long after the silver needle was pierced into him, Fang Ning felt an extremely mild internal energy flowing along his own body, which instantly circulated once.

As expected, everyone else was also improving, especially someone like her who had originally been an elite in society.

Fang Ning remembered that over half a year ago, this Qi Yan was a completely normal person, but now the feeling that this internal energy gave him was similar to the feeling given to him during the very first System activation. The speed of her improvement was just as the System said; she had already obtained mastery.

Qi Yan’s expression changed, and she quivered, “How can your injuries be so heavy? All your internal organs are injured, and I have a faint feeling that your state of mind is unsettled and unstable. Your pulse is also scattered, obviously, your spirit had recently received heavy damage.”

Fang Ning was completely helpless, Sir System’s Disguise was super effective, but this Qi Yan had remarkable Medical Expertise to be able to see these effects. If a normal doctor took her place, that doctor would have absolutely no idea what happened.

He explained, “I have consecutively fought against many enemies recently, but it’s no big deal. Those enemies have not gone far yet, you should leave this place right now.”

She still paid him no heed at all, and only said, “I’ll help you stop the bleeding for now, and then give you internal energy treatment.”

…

Some time passed. While Fang Ning was receiving his treatment, he wondered, and asked the System, “What do you think happened to those three people? How much time has passed since we were injured until this state? If they are still unwilling to come out, there must be something wrong. Did they all run away?”

The System was reminded by him, carefully induced, and replied, “They haven’t. They’re hiding nearby. What do you think the problem is?”

Fang Ning flippantly fabricated a reason. “I think that they were completely unable to see through your Disguise, so they are probably cowards.

The System, “How is that possible? They are three against one, and they even dared to block me face to face just now. There is no reason for them to be scared of me just because they see me in an injured state. Let’s wait for a little longer.”

…

The three hiding Hindus were really just as what Fang Ning had said. They had too little courage, and even after seeing that Vigilante A was heavily injured to the point of death, they were still telepathically arguing in the shadows.

“Kamal, Vigilante A is injured and on the brink of death, that doctor has not been in contact with him for over half a year, it is impossible for her to collude with him, so it is probably true. You should go and take his life now.”

“Hmph, Maram, do you think that I am stupid? We are not the usual human Powerhouses. We are able to communicate with the Three Gods of the Upper Realm, and know their secrets. Since that Vigilante A’s True Dragon form has been revealed, killing him would be easy, but I would have the Dragon Slayer Mark imprinted on me, and when another True Dragon descends to the mortal world in the future, he would want to kill me first to show his might. On the other hand, someone recently said that ‘Next year on this day, would be known as the anniversary of Vigilante A’s death’, so that person should be the one who kills him.”

“Kamal, do not reject this chance given to you. Remember that the last time it was was due to your hesitation which delayed us and caused me to falter in the rescue. If I were to report this matter, your position as the heir of the God of Destruction would immediately become unstable.”

“This is such a joke, are you using that to threaten me? The Three Gods have unparalleled wisdom, wisdom that mortals cannot even imagine. Do you think that I’m so easily deceived like those people who act in movies? Go and report it for all I care.”

At this moment, Sina’s voice was heard. “Since you two are pushing each other and not willing to deal the last blow, then just go back first. Considering the fact that we have beaten him until he is on the brink of death, it is impossible for him to recover in a short time. If we spread the word, the other human Powerhouses that do not know of the Upper Realm’s secrets might do the deed for us.

The two of them no longer spoke, it seemed that they approved.

Fang Ning dressed as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. With the disguise, it was very successful, but he never expected that others would mistake Vigilante A to be a birth origin of the True Dragon, and that he would be put into the hearts and eyes of others. It seems like he was, in fact, still a very intimidating sheep…
