Am I a crispy college student? The whole internet says that I'm hard to kill!-Chapter 438 Just Beating an Old Man

Hearing Wu Bin speak like that, Zhong Dongshu was not angry but simply chuckled and said, "What a sharp-tongued lad. From the start, I knew you were no ordinary person, and so is the girl standing next to you."

"Why else would The Ninth Institute specifically ask you to help explore the Dragon Palace of the East Sea?"

"When I was at The Ninth Institute before, there were too many people around for me to ask."

"But now it’s just us left, so I don’t want to make trouble. I just want to ask one thing—did you kill my grand-disciple Liu Maiqiang?"

To find out that the dead Liu Maiqiang was this old man’s grand-disciple!

Wu Bin’s expression suddenly turned grave.

You should know, although Liu Maiqiang’s abilities underwater were quite ordinary, the various magical treasures on him were endless, dazzling their eyes.

From the magical treasures on Liu Maiqiang’s person alone, one could tell that Zhong Dongshu’s lineage must be quite substantial.

After all, magical treasures are rare items for everyone, and they cannot be bought with money.

If Liu Maiqiang had so many magical treasures, wouldn’t Zhong Dongshu have even more, making him harder to deal with?

Seeing that the group stayed silent, Zhong Dongshu sighed.

"I’m getting on in years and really don’t want to fight. But if you force my hand, then there’s no helping it."

"I’ll give you three a last chance, tell me, did you kill Liu Maiqiang?"

Realizing that Zhong Dongshu might be serious, Nightingale stepped forward, attempting to communicate.

"Mr. Zhong, we already explained at The Ninth Institute that Liu Maiqiang’s death was an accident—"

Nightingale had not finished speaking when a sharp slicing sound suddenly pierced the air.

Hearing the noise, Nightingale instantly became alert and rolled on the spot, dodging to the side.

Feeling some pain, Nightingale looked down and saw a wound on her thigh.

Nightingale’s eyes narrowed suddenly.

She didn’t expect Zhong Dongshu to dare make a move against her!

What made Nightingale most nervous was that she hadn’t even seen how Zhong Dongshu had struck, meaning she had no idea what method he had used!

That meant if Zhong Dongshu struck again, Nightingale might not be able to dodge.

After all, it seemed Zhong Dongshu hadn’t intended to kill her this time, otherwise, he would have aimed directly for her throat.

"Mr. Zhong, what is this supposed to mean, do you intend to oppose The Ninth Institute? Don’t you know The Ninth Institute is under Dragon Country’s jurisdiction?"

Nightingale thought Zhong Dongshu had gone mad.

She was the ace agent of The Ninth Institute; hurting her was akin to directly weakening The Ninth Institute’s strength, which was tantamount to treason!

Normally, even if Zhong Dongshu had a powerful family backing him, he shouldn’t have the audacity to do such a thing.

But at this moment, there was no hint of fear on Zhong Dongshu’s face.

He sneered, "I don’t wish to oppose The Ninth Institute, so if your people leave now, I won’t stop them. But these two must stay, and give me an answer."

"If they can’t give me a satisfactory answer, then from now on, they’ll stay with me, don’t worry, I won’t starve them."

Hearing Zhong Dongshu say this, Nightingale knew he was serious.

Nightingale drew her Fish Intestine Sword and said gravely, "My task is to protect these two. If you insist on taking them, then I’m sorry."

Nightingale was naturally not one to favor communication.

To have such an extended conversation with Zhong Dongshu today was already giving him a lot of face.

"You dare to brandish a weapon at me? Interesting, very interesting. It seems our noble clan has been too forbearing for too long and has given you the misconception that in order for us to act, we must look to The Ninth Institute?"

Zhong Dongshu raised his head to look at Nightingale.

"Enough talk. Since you’ve chosen to oppose me, you will die here today."

As soon as Zhong Dongshu finished speaking, a sharp whooshing sound once again tore through the air.

Nightingale instinctively dodged; a stone beneath her feet was instantly split in two.

The driver in the cockpit even had his head chopped off!

The driver didn’t change his expression even right before death because he hadn’t had the time to realize that he was already dead.

Nightingale was startled by Zhong Dongshu’s eerie method of attack.

She couldn’t see the trajectory of Zhong Dongshu’s attacks, nor could she determine his attack direction.

All she knew was that she must not get too close to Zhong Dongshu!

If she got too close, she might be subject to even more concentrated attacks!

Seeing how Nightingale, even though she couldn’t see, continuously dodged his attacks, Zhong Dongshu couldn’t help but praise her.

"It’s no wonder Director Wang values you—your combat experience and intuition indeed are strong."

"It’s a pity that you are just a Supernatural Being. Supernatural Beings simply cannot defeat us Cultivators."

Zhong Dongshu raised his right hand and extended his sword finger.

In the moment he lifted his sword finger, Zhong Dongshu could distinctly hear that the whistling sound became sharper and more frequent!

This meant more hidden attacks were rapidly enveloping him like a dark cloud!

If this battle continued, he would die!

Nightingale, a veteran of countless battles, clearly understood under what situations she would die and in which she could hold on.

The situation before her was clearly not something she could handle.

She couldn’t even see the enemy’s attacks. How could she fight?

"You all go first, I’ll hold him off here!"

At this moment, Nightingale was already prepared to die.

Nightingale had often heard from Director Wang that Cultivators and Supernatural Beings were different.

So when conflicts between Supernatural Beings and Cultivators arose, no matter what happened, you had to endure.

If you didn’t endure, then your life might be lost.

In Director Wang’s words, Cultivators are inherently superior beings.

Their background and strength meant they could act arrogantly and even disdain the lives of Supernatural Beings like them.

At first, Nightingale didn’t understand what Wang Zhi meant, but now, after facing Zhong Dongshu, she understood.

When the other person can easily take your life, pride, shame, dignity, and the like are all insignificant.

What’s the use of caring about these things if you don’t have your life?

Although Nightingale didn’t know how she could overpower Zhong Dongshu, if it meant sacrificing herself to hold him off, she felt she could manage that.

She just didn’t know how long she could hold him off, so she hoped that Wu Bin and the others could leave quickly.

It was at this moment that Zhu Ling said lightly, "Why make such a fuss over an old man, Nightingale? Do you want to keep him company? If you want, I can help you."
