Chapter 1167: Chapter 1156: Live Capture Scene
The True Qi Realm Patrol Team members and the promising young talents of the Nalan Family were engaged in a peculiar solo duel.
Those who had withdrawn from the battle walked over to their chief, their faces brimming with pride.
“Chief, how long do you think these three guys can hold out?”
“They won’t last long. You can’t tell without fighting, but once you do, you realize they’re just flashy but useless cannon fodder.”
“If we had known it would be like this, we would have finished them off directly.”
The Patrol Team leader shook his head, his face devoid of expression, saying, “Don’t just stand idle, all of you charge forward, and preferably capture them alive for me.”
“Yes.”
Those members who had withdrawn from the fight immediately shifted and rejoined the battle.
Bang bang…
This way, the advantage of the three young Nalan talents vanished completely; they retreated step by step, disheveled and full of openings, with no chance to escape.
The Patrol Team members were aggressive; their knives, guns, swords, and halberds were faster one after another, determined to slice these three into mincemeat.
Terrified, the three young Nalan talents staggered, on the verge of collapse, only knowing to retreat more, their faces turning pale as tin foil.
Striking while they’re down, the Patrol Team members fully understood this, and with a few punches and kicks, knocked them to the ground, twisted their hands behind their backs, and forced them to kneel.
The loud commotion of the fight still alerted the Ning Family villa’s people.
Butler Zhang led a group of Ning Family experts outside, shouting sternly, “What’s going on?”
“Butler Sir.”
The Patrol Team leader hurriedly cupped his fists in greeting, respectfully saying, “Just as we were patrolling, we discovered these three youngsters attempting to climb over the wall. We caught them red-handed, and instead of running away, they actually provoked us, leading to a fight. In a short time, we captured them alive and await your decision, Butler Sir.”
“Oh?”
Butler Zhang’s eyes flashed as he swiftly walked to the three young Nalan family members, coldly questioning, “Whose kids are you, daring to attack my Ning Family villa at night? Spit it out!”
“Hmph!”
Nalan Shi spat, stubbornly sticking out his neck, “A broken head is just a bowl-sized scar, eighteen years later, I’ll be a hero again. Why would I fear you, you disrespectful fellow?”
“You’re not going to talk?”
Butler Zhang chuckled playfully, throwing out a powerful slap.
With a loud smack.
As the slap landed, Nalan Hu and Nalan Pao looked at Nalan Shi.
They looked and immediately shivered in fear. Why?
Because with one strike from Butler Zhang, Nalan Shi’s neck spun like a top before finally stopping. He tilted his head and collapsed, motionless.
Is he really dead?
While the two were still shocked, Butler Zhang pointed at Nalan Hu once again, speaking like a ghostly phantom, “He won’t talk, but you will.”
“This… is hard to say.”
Nalan Hu hesitated, considering whether to reveal the truth.
However, he underestimated Butler Zhang’s patience.
A loud bang was heard.
Nalan Hu hadn’t even reacted when his neck spun 360 degrees, similar to Nalan Shi, his death extremely bizarre.
“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me… I’ll speak…”
Seeing two people die in such eerie positions, Nalan Pao was terrified beyond belief, almost fainting.
He hastily crawled to Butler Zhang’s side, begging for mercy.
“If you say another word, I’ll kill you right here.”
Butler Zhang had no patience, speaking swiftly.
Nalan Pao, tears in his eyes, nodded mechanically, pouring out his words like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, “We are members of the Nalan Family and, being adept in the Object-Manipulating Realm, took the initiative to come to the Ning Family to cause trouble for Ning Fan. We wanted to teach him a lesson, but instead, we suffered a major setback and failed completely.”
He then regretfully shrank his neck, shaking his head, “I really should have listened to Second Master and gone to sleep, and then thought about it long term.”
“Oh?”
Before Butler Zhang could respond, a deep voice suddenly sounded, causing everyone to turn around quickly.
The person who arrived was Ning Fan. He came with hands clasped behind his back, coldly staring at Nalan Pao.
“Third Young Master!”
Butler Zhang and the Ning Family members all cupped their fists to show respect.
But Ning Fan casually waved his hand, squatting in front of Nalan Pao, lifting his chin and coldly asking, “Speak, who is your Second Master, where are they now, stationed where, with what intent?”
“You are Ning Family’s Third Young Master–Ning Fan?”
Nalan Pao looked intently at Ning Fan, forming an impression of someone his age, seemingly harmless.
Could such a person defeat Bi Family’s father and son in one move and even kill Nalan Family’s eldest daughter, Nalan Yanfeng?
However, this thought vanished instantly, and Nalan Pao quickly nodded, forced a smile, saying, “Our Second Master is named Nalan Invincible, the younger brother of Nalan Family Head Nalan Wushuang, leading us as a vanguard to attack the Ning Family. Tonight’s camp is in the small forest a mile away…”
“Very good!”
Ning Fan was satisfied with his response, ordering, “Old Zhang, you immediately lead them in a strike to annihilate Nalan Family’s vanguard troops, delaying their attack momentum.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
No matter whether Nalan Pao agreed or not, Butler Zhang grabbed him by the collar and hurriedly left with the group.
Ning Fan watched them disappear into the distance, smiling enigmatically, his figure flickered and vanished.
Moments later, a figure appeared where he had vanished—a beautiful maiden.
It was Duan Yuanmeng.
In fact, she had already discovered Nalan Family’s vanguard camping a mile away but wasn’t reporting due to Ning Fan’s previous mockery.
She wanted to see what methods Ning Fan would use to handle this crisis.
Having witnessed the Ning Family quickly overpowering the three ambushers, Duan Yuanmeng marveled.
“I never expected the Ning Family troops to be so powerful; the True Qi Realm Patrol Team members could actually hold their own against Nalan Family’s Object-Manipulating Realm experts. Who would believe it? Master would surely say I’m lying.”
Duan Yuanmeng quietly trailed behind Butler Zhang’s group, seeking a live show.
Following Nalan Pao’s direction, Butler Zhang quickly found Nalan Invincible’s camp a mile away.
He stood dozens of meters away, watching from afar.
Nalan Pao saw he had completed his mission and immediately said obsequiously, “Sir, it’s said those who recognize the times are the smart ones, and those who adapt prosper, while those who don’t perish. Considering my sense, please spare my life.”
