Chapter 746 A bloody disaster He had thrown out a simple punch without any fanciful or shocking moves. The cloth shoes the Great Hoodwinker was wearing were still tattered, yet the T5 combatant had been knocked back by his punch. Luo Lan muttered, “Back then, those old fogeys in our Qing Consortium were saying they wanted to capture him. Thinking about it now, it’s fortunate Qing Zhen decided to maintain a good relationship with Fortress 178, so we didn’t have to make a move on this guy.” This Great Hoodwinker usually appeared like an old man, but he was actually a pure strength-type supernatural being. To be honest, there were very few people who saw strength-based superhumans as threats these days. However, that was definitely because most strength types were still not strong enough. No one knew when the Great Hoodwinker had awakened his powers, but his brute strength was so strong that even a T5 combatant could not withstand it. It was no wonder this guy had the balls to run to wherever there was danger. He had the skill to back it up! Ren Xiaosu had also tried to probe the Great Hoodwinker about his power, but he did not manage to find out what it was. But now, the Great Hoodwinker was not going to pretend anymore! He was going all out! Since he was battling alongside his future commander, he couldn’t just be cheering him on, right? The Great Hoodwinker stepped forward in his tattered cloth shoes without retreating. He advanced step by step towards the T5 combatant and said, “Young man, I think you’ll encounter a bloody disaster today.” Luo Lan’s mouth twitched. This was the most fucking resolute fortune teller he had ever come across. If he said that you would encounter a bloody disaster, then you would really encounter a bloody disaster. His fortune telling was never wrong, and it was always as accurate as ever! Honestly speaking, based on the strength the Great Hoodwinker had just displayed, 99% of supernatural beings in the world could not escape this bloody disaster either. The T5 combatant looked at the Great Hoodwinker and sneered, “Did you think I was fighting you at full strength just now?” The Great Hoodwinker scratched his head and laughed. “You’re making it sound like I was fighting you at full strength.” As soon as he finished speaking, the T5 combatant darted to the left like an arrow fired from a bow. Wherever he moved, the Great Hoodwinker moved as well. Both parties continued moving side to side without letting up. Seeing that he could not shake off the Great Hoodwinker, the T5 combatant decided to stop pulling away from him and start clashing with the Great Hoodwinker’s punches instead. As the two of them fought, the trees around them suffered collateral damage. A seemingly light punch easily toppled the trees in their surroundings. Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, and the others watched. As these two tangled with each other so fast they almost couldn’t be seen, no one dared to rashly lend a hand for fear of hurting their own people. This battle was a visual feast. Before this, it was really difficult to witness such a “solid” battle between superhumans. There was nothing fancy about it, but every strike was an earth-shattering one. The ground was trembling. But in just an instant, just as both parties were fighting to their hearts’ content, an exquisite blade suddenly appeared in the Great Hoodwinker’s hand. His swinging fist formed into a palm strike. No one knew what the blade was made of, but it sliced a wide gash across the T5 combatant’s chest. Blood flowed out like a fountain! The T5 combatant was caught off guard and retreated. He said coldly, “You humans are still as despicable as ever.” The Great Hoodwinker smiled bashfully and said, “We can’t just be exchanging punches all day, right? How boring is that?” When he said that, it sounded almost exactly the same as when he told Ren Xiaosu how he couldn’t always be using that “Prosperous Northwest” line on others. And at that time, he happened to be preparing an extremely underhanded plan to drive a wedge between Wang Yun and the Kong Consortium. The Great Hoodwinker used his identity as a fortune teller to spy on others and was blessed with unparalleled brute strength, yet he enjoyed striking others below the belt. In his own words, all of this was for the prosperity of the Northwest! “Do you think this injury will kill me?” The T5 combatant loosened his limbs as though he was about to get serious. However, the Great Hoodwinker said with a smile, “It’s very difficult for me to kill you, but it’ll be easier for other people.” The T5 combatant was surprised to see that the blood did not stop flowing from his wound. A small wound like this would only take him three hours to fully recover from, and stopping the bleeding should only take a few minutes. But right now, the bleeding was not stopping at all! However, he reacted very quickly. The T5 combatant immediately looked up at Zhou Qi and realized he was smiling strangely at him. Zhou Qi’s ability was to control water. Usually, it would be quite difficult for him to draw water from the air. Therefore, if he were not near a river during a battle, Zhou Qi would find himself in a more passive position. But later, Qing Zhen told him there was no need to look too far actually. After all, a person’s body was 70% water. From then on, Zhou Qi’s power became extremely weird and vicious. He could not control the blood of others who did not have any wounds, but the Great Hoodwinker had created an opportunity for him now. The T5 combatant was as good as a dead man in his eyes. When the T5 combatant saw the situation was not right, he turned around and ran. However, how could he escape from the Great Hoodwinker’s pestering? After taking just a few steps, the Great Hoodwinker caught up to him again, so he could only fight back hastily! As time went by, the T5 combatant felt himself weakening. Zhou Qi drew out the blood from his body until he went into shock. His blood was dancing in the air like a scarlet dragon as it flew all the way to Zhou Qi’s side. The Great Hoodwinker looked at Luo Lan and the others and said with a grin, “Not bad, right?” Luo Lan gave him a thumbs up. “That was great, absolutely great! Elder, you’re so heroic and mighty!” From now on, Luo Lan decided to be more polite to the Great Hoodwinker in case he “predicted” he would encounter a bloody disaster someday! Furthermore, Luo Lan suspected the Great Hoodwinker had still been hiding his strength during the battle just now. That was because his shoes had not been worn out even after such an intense battle! It was not that Luo Lan wanted to be picky about the details, but that he had witnessed many battles between experts. It was a common occurrence for one or both shoes to be destroyed when a physically strong wearer ran in them. However, the Great Hoodwinker did not even wear out his cloth shoes after fighting a T5 combatant. That showed he was still controlling his strength. “The Northwest really is full of hidden experts.” Luo Lan muttered, “Is it easier to awaken your superpower if you live in a colder place? Should I suggest to my brother to send a group of people to the Western Plateau to train?” One of the martyred spirits laughed and said, “Boss, sorry to have to interrupt you, but Mr. Qing Zhen is already doing that.” “Alright, he’s one step ahead of me again.” Luo Lan curled his lips. Some people said the awakening of a supernatural being had a direct correlation with one’s willpower. In that case, it should be easier to awaken one’s power when training in a tough and cold place. Luo Lan felt there would probably be people who would purposely venture into harsh environments to train in the future, and who knew how many monsters might appear when that time came? However, Luo Lan was extremely relaxed now. Initially, he thought the Sacred Mountains were going to be really dangerous, but it was only now that he realized the people around him were each more fearsome than the last. “Boss, another group of the Pyro Company’s troops are approaching,” a martyred spirit said. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s get them!” Luo Lan immediately said valiantly. But before the Pyro Company could approach them, a sniper bullet flew over from somewhere and directly killed the commander of their troops. The Pyro Company was originally targeting Luo Lan and the others, but when the sniper appeared, they immediately switched targets! Luo Lan could only sit impatiently within the defensive fortifications. His teammates were too strong, so there was nowhere for him to shine.
