Chapter 33: That’s Right, I Am a Martial Arts Genius

At this point, it was impossible to capture Yang Liuqing alive and in good condition.

Her opponent’s strength far exceeded expectations.

They had to get serious to take her down.

That meant serious injury was unavoidable.

As for whether the Magic Potion would be lost, they could only check afterward.

The urgent task was to complete the Umbrella’s commission.

Sensing the change in Daoba’s aura, Yang Liuqing immediately became fully alert.

“It’s been a while since I’ve met an opponent who makes me use my real skills.”

Daoba lied.

Since becoming a White Glove, he hadn’t really fought much—mostly just commanded his underlings from behind the scenes.

But that didn’t mean he slacked off on training.

As an ambitious man, Daoba naturally understood the importance of lying low.

Back then, being a White Glove was unavoidable.

Now that he had a chance to escape control and change his fate, there was nothing left to hide.

If it weren’t for too many of Ba Ye’s people in Goose City, he would’ve defected on the spot.

The allure of the Magic Potion was strong, but you had to be alive to enjoy it.

“Cut it out. With that pampered look of yours, you’re even worse than the Hound.”

Yang Liuqing clearly had no talent for diplomatic speech—she was blunt and straightforward, not smooth at all.

That was a trait of people from Lingnan.

Not cursing someone’s mother, calling them rotten crabs, telling them to fall on the street, or wishing their whole family to be neatly gathered together was already considered quite refined.

“Heh.”

Daoba smiled without replying.

Unlike those truly noble people, the more she underestimated him, the better.

Yang Liuqing couldn’t be bothered to waste more words with him.

She moved her foot and vanished from sight.

Seeing this, Daoba’s pupils contracted, his expression shocked.

When she kicked him earlier, he’d had a strong sense of déjà vu.

Isn’t this damn well the Hound Body Movement?!

At that moment, Daoba really wanted to catch Chise Liequan and stab him in the back.

Not only did he sell false intel, he also taught the core movement technique to others.

That bastard was so treacherous!

Whether the truth was actually like that didn’t matter.

Daoba only knew that the trouble he was in was brought by Chise Liequan.

His eyes darted quickly, barely catching a black shadow.

But at that moment, the shadow had already closed in on his left side, throwing a hook punch.

The target was his side—the liver.

Having practiced boxing, he knew how painful that hit would be.

Especially with Yang Liuqing’s strength—she might even rupture his liver.

Without hesitation, he tightened his muscles, tensing his entire body to the limit to defend.

Though far from Bronze Skin Iron Bone, it was enough to block a fist attack.

Daoba prepared to tank the liver strike and then take down Yang Liuqing.

But just then, the situation suddenly changed.

The attack that was aimed at his left side abruptly changed trajectory, coming up from below.

Daoba’s hair stood on end, shock flooding his heart.

Isn’t this my own Variable Track Hook Punch?!

It looked like a left-right attack, but in reality, it came from below, completely incapacitating the opponent in one blow.

Caught off guard, the effect was remarkable.

He never imagined she could turn his own move against him so quickly.

Could Yang Liuqing really be a Martial Genius?!

For an instant, that absurd thought flashed through Daoba’s mind.

But considering the Hound Body Movement and that she was an ordinary person until last night, the guess was perfectly reasonable.

Unable to think fast, Daoba had no time to dwell on it.

He leapt up and blocked his chin with one hand.

The next moment, Yang Liuqing’s fist slammed into the palm protecting his chin.

Bang!

A dull thud rang out.

Daoba felt like he’d taken an uppercut, his body lifted off the ground, his head buzzing.

If he hadn’t jumped up in advance and used his hand to deflect some of the force, he would’ve crashed through the ceiling.

And he’d likely have lost consciousness.

“I really can’t pull it off that easily.”

Yang Liuqing clenched her numb fist, her expression shifting.

Just as she prepared to press the attack, she heard Ke Ling’s warning.

“Master, watch his hand!”

“Xiao Qingqing, don’t get too greedy. Easy to capsize in a ditch.”

Ke Li’s voice followed right after.

The two little ones had actually been in the room the whole time.

But Daoba’s Spiritual Perception was too weak to detect them.

Yang Liuqing instantly became alert and rapidly retreated.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught five black substances shooting from Daoba’s empty hand, piercing straight into the ground.

Five small holes instantly appeared in the hard tiles.

The strike came fast and vanished just as fast.

Yang Liuqing couldn’t even see what that thing was.

But when she shifted her gaze, she found a clue on Daoba’s hand.

That guy’s hand had five small holes.

The black substance that had just pierced the ground and retracted came in and out through those five holes.

“What a strange ability…”

If Ke Ling hadn’t warned her, she’d probably have been hit.

Such a sneak attack was very hard to guard against.

Daoba landed, quickly steadied himself, and looked at Yang Liuqing with extreme caution.

He’d thought that attack was a sure thing, yet she dodged it so easily.

Was it luck, or had she sensed it?

“Didn’t expect you to avoid my [Black Flash].”

“The ability name sounds pretty cool.”

Yang Liuqing’s eyes lit up.

Cool—that’s a lifelong matter.

Daoba was stunned.

That’s the thing worth focusing on?

“Next time, I won’t miss.”

He calmed himself, a murderous aura spreading around him.

Holding back was impossible.

His opponent’s strength far exceeded imagination.

Without a killing intent, he couldn’t take her down.

At this point, capturing her alive was a pipe dream.

Guess I’ll have to eat her myself after all.

Having witnessed Yang Liuqing’s astonishing strength, Daoba changed his mind decisively.

This Magic Potion—he was determined to get it.

Ba Ye?

Go eat pig intestine sashimi!

As long as he got the Magic Potion, his current A-rank strength would definitely rise to S-rank, or even higher.

When that time came, he wouldn’t fear them at all!

“Master, be careful. His killing intent is strong.”

Ke Ling noticed Daoba’s change and warned again.

The strength unleashed by someone with the resolve to kill was completely different from when they held back.

Under normal circumstances, a person’s subconscious pursued a flawless victory, leading to restraint.

Once those limits were removed, they became savage and brutal.

“Xiao Qingqing, the way he looks at you is like you’re a plate of food.”

Ke Li still grinned, not tense at all.

“Going all out, huh? Who’s afraid of who?”

Even as she said that, Yang Liuqing had no real experience in life-and-death combat.

Sometimes, in a deadly struggle, that tiny gap in awareness could decide the outcome.

“Enough talk!”

Daoba stomped his left foot forward, charging like a Type 59 tank on a rampage.

His momentum was terrifying!

Yang Liuqing chose not to confront him head-on.

Instead, she activated the Hound Body Movement and pulled away.

She was guarding against him suddenly firing a Black Flash.

In terms of speed and strength, she was above Daoba.

But against such a special Superpower, she had no better counter for now.

So she just had to circle and not attack.
