787: Chapter 776: Umbrella Deployed 787: Chapter 776: Umbrella Deployed Ning Fan closed his eyes, planning to directly shut down his own vulnerabilities, but the woman saw this as him courting death.
After all, she was a peak Martial Artist of the Object-Manipulating Realm who was proficient in the Bewitching Technique, but she also mastered other lethal Martial Arts.
She understood that Ning Fan was trying to listen to locate her by sound to deal with her, but in her eyes, this strategy was extremely foolish.
Being equally skilled within the Object-Manipulating Realm, and she being at the peak, how could Ning Fan possibly defeat her unless the sun rose from the west!
“You want to kill me?
You can certainly try!”
Ning Fan responded nonchalantly, turning his head to align his ear in the woman’s direction.
The woman let out a cold laugh as her presence suddenly vanished.
The forest was left with only the rustling sounds, and apart from these, it became utterly silent.
Ning Fan frowned and stopped breathing at this moment.
His entire being became sublime, merging with the environment.
Every minor movement in the vicinity could not escape his ears; now his ears were his eyes.
“Over here!”
Two Silver Needles shot out, sparking two points of cold light in the air.
Dingling!
The Silver Needles were knocked down, making a crisp sound.
The woman looked at Ning Fan in astonishment.
She had been lying in wait without making any sound; how could Ning Fan have possibly discovered her?
Before the woman could speculate, Ning Fan had already charged at her.
He seemed to have already “seen” the woman’s location and directly lunged at her while continuously firing Silver Needles.
This was the Mind’s Eye, through perception, Ning Fan had pinpointed her location.
At this moment, no matter how she concealed her presence, she could not hide from his sensory perception.
Five Silver Needles crisscrossed in the air, blocking the woman’s escape routes and forcing her to engage him.
The Bewitching Technique she was most skilled at was ineffective against Ning Fan, but her power still stood firm.
Slightly disrupted by Ning Fan, she quickly regained her composure.
Since the Bewitching Technique was useless, she decided against using it, but she could still use other methods against Ning Fan.
After a bout of close combat, Ning Fan’s chest had gained five new scratch marks.
“Asura, is this all the skill you possess?”
The woman coldly laughed, her form sinuous and flexible like a venomous snake, entwining around Ning Fan.
Relying solely on his ears and bodily senses, Ning Fan showed some signs of faltering.
The master from Umbrella indeed wasn’t easy to handle.
But it was also this suppression that ignited Ning Fan’s fervor, making him wildly enthusiastic as if he couldn’t feel pain, even resorting to a dangerous method of trading injury for injury.
“Madman!”
The woman widened her eyes, watching Ning Fan incredulously, a flash of irritation crossing her gaze.
She hadn’t anticipated that he would resort to such a reckless method of exchanging injuries with her.
However, she was not afraid.
Knowing that Ning Fan wanted to trade injuries, she simply became more ferocious in her attacks.
For a time, it seemed that neither could determine the victor, but at that moment, Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes, a blood-red gleam bursting forth.
Seeing Ning Fan reopen his eyes, the woman instinctively wanted to use the Bewitching Technique, but the next second, she was disturbed by the blood-red gleam in Ning Fan’s eyes, causing her to be distracted at that critical moment.
At that moment, being distracted gave Ning Fan an excellent opportunity.
With a thunderous punch, accompanied by a heavy whooshing sound, Ning Fan’s fist struck the woman’s chest.
The woman furrowed her brows, enduring the pain as she swung a claw, ripping open five bloody gashes on Ning Fan’s left chest, causing blood to flow incessantly.
Both of them simultaneously stepped back, each clutching their chests, clearly in considerable discomfort.
“You’re courting death!” There was a cold murderous intent in the woman’s eyes as she gnashed her teeth, staring at the man in front of her.
Despite her threatening words, she wasn’t able to attack Ning Fan again immediately because the true qi inside her was in disarray from Ning Fan’s previous punch.
If she rashly fought with Ning Fan now, there was a possibility of deviation.
She definitely didn’t want to risk her own life in a moment of impatience.
At this moment, however, Ning Fan, disregarding his bleeding wounds, charged directly at the woman.
The woman’s eyes widened, only thinking of fleeing and not wanting to confront Ning Fan head-on temporarily, but she had underestimated Ning Fan’s speed.
Just as the woman moved to dodge, Ning Fan’s foot had already reached in front of her.
His right fist was ready, and his fingertips held four Silver Needles, fiercely striking towards the woman.
With a bang, the woman felt an overwhelming force coming onto her, causing her entire body to fly backward, while Ning Fan’s four Silver Needles also plunged into her chest.
At this point, the woman’s hair was disheveled, no longer possessing her previous beauty, just disarray as she looked at Ning Fan like a terrifying ghost, coughing out a mouthful of bright red blood.
Ning Fan gasped heavily, his face pale, covering his chest as he slowly walked toward her.
Noticing Ning Fan’s approach, the woman tried to quickly stand up, but now severely injured by him, she was completely unable to exert any strength.
She also started feeling numb and began losing sensation in her limbs.
Her vision gradually blurred, darkness overtook her sight, and she completely fainted.
The four Silver Needles that Ning Fan used were coated with venom, which was why the woman had fainted.
Seeing the woman finally lose the ability to resist, Ning Fan just sat down on the ground and lit a cigarette, placing it in his mouth.
“Umbrella, it seems you can’t hold back anymore, huh!”
Ning Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, glaring fiercely at the woman on the ground, and his previous encounters with those skilled in the Face-changing Technique only added to his inner turmoil.
This was the outskirts of Zhonghai, not far from the Shadow Base.
Ning Fan had planned to bring the woman lying on the ground to the base for interrogation.
He hadn’t expected that the woman would be so powerful.
Even though Ning Fan had won the fight,
he had no extra strength for other tasks but could only wait on the spot for the Shadow Team’s rescue.
About five or six minutes later, two figures appeared in the woods.
On closer inspection, they were the Lone Soul and Wild Ghost duo.
Having received the message, they swiftly came from the base and immediately planned to take Ning Fan back to the base.
But as the two of them helped Ning Fan up, he shook his head, indicating that they shouldn’t be in such a rush.
“Lord Asura?”
Lone Soul asked, puzzled, not understanding why Ning Fan was not ready to leave yet.
Ning Fan pointed at the woman still lying unconscious on the ground from severe injuries, and said, “Bring her as well.
I want to interrogate her personally!”
