Chapter 76 Gifts Blind the Eyes

Even so, these few breaths were enough for Hao Ning to regret and think of a way out. Thus, he hurriedly turned back and started to stride forward. It was just that his footwork was unique, Qili was like a mad bull chasing behind him, but he was still unable to catch up to Hao Ning.

“My god, is this, the Sliding-over-the-water Art?” When Jienan saw the footwork of the little brother in front of him, he started to tremble. “This is impossible, not even a chance!”

Zhang Dalong was even more suspicious. He knew nothing about martial arts. He only felt that the among the two people in front of him, one chased after another and the one in front walked in an air of elegance as if he was riding the wind, while the pursuer moved fast but desperate. He could not help but ask, “Jienan, what are you talking about?”

Jienan took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Seeing that Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan were watching, he shook his head toward Zhang Dalong, tidied up his clothes, then stepped forward and cupped his fists, “Excuse me, may I know which expert’s disciple he is?”

Zhou Yuan was unaware of the situation and was anxiously watching the two fight, ignoring Jienan. When Liu Shuai heard this question, he laughed bitterly and turned to Jienan, “No expert. He is just a loser.” Seeing that Jienan want to ask more, Liu Shuai continued to speak, “Don’t ask anymore. That cannot be explained in just a few words.”

Of course, Hao Ning did not know how surprised Jienan was as he was using martial arts. As he stepped on the “Sliding-over-the-water Art,” he placed the “Divine Power of the Nort” behind his back. He had already used these two skills for numerous times in the past period, so he got the expertise. As expected, as Hao Ning walked in front, Qili punched him while chasing. However, he would almost hit him every time, and the inner strength in his fist wind was always sucked away by Hao Ning.

At first, Qili did not notice that, but he slowly realized that not only was the person in front of him had a weird footwork style but after walking a few rounds around the hall, he already started to feel that his strength was not in balance. Hence, he slowed down a little, but the moment he slowed down, the person in front of him also slowed down, as if he was exhausted as well. Therefore, he kept trying to punch but was still not able to touch the person, whereas such a move consumed tremendous energy of his.

Hao Ning was also a little perturbed at this moment. Through the Divine Power of the Nort, he could absorb the opponent’s inner strength, and then use it for his use, but the critical problem was that he was supposed to use the inner strength of Yi Yang Finger. He could not tell if there would be a problem if he outputted the inner strength of Divine Power of the Nort through Yi Yang Finger, so he was hesitating and could only try to think of a way as he walked.

At this time, Qili realized that he might not be able to defeat this person, so he gradually stopped chasing, and looked around. Seeing Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai were looking at him, especially the bald head that was unusually bright and reflective, he immediately became agitated. Then he roared and rushed toward Liu Shuai!

Liu Shuai was watching the battle between Qili and Hao Ning, while, Qili, unexpectedly, turned and pounced towards him. Hao Ning thought that it was bad since Liu Shuai did not know any martial arts, being punched by Qili was not as light as being stomped on before.

Seeing that Qili was just about to approach Liu Shuai, Jienan suddenly raised his leg and jumped onto a chair. When the chair was at the level of his chest, he threw a punch and hit the chair towards Qili. Seeing that something was flying over fiercely, Qili turned his head and smashed the chair into pieces. Taking advantage of that moment, Jienan stepped forward and pulled on Liu Shuai, allowing him to escape from the danger temporarily.

Hao Ning suddenly thought of something when he was in a rush. There was a “Small Non-Phase Art,” a homolog of Divine Power of the Nort, that could simulate any martial art in the world, and since the Small Non-Phase Art was from the same sect as the Divine Power of the Nort, inner strength of the two should be able exchangeable. Using the Divine Power of the Nort as a base, he used the Small Non-Phase Art to trigger Yi Yang Finger, and shouted at Qili who was rushing toward Liu Shuai, “Qili, your code stops running again!”

Sure enough, this time Qili suddenly turned his head immediately. Hao Ning knew that he could not afford to miss this chance, so he quickly extended his finger. Qili was much further away from him than previous times, but Hao Ning could feel a vigorous inner strength being shot out from his fingertips, striking right at the center of Qili’s brows!

This move was so fast, that when the others saw Hao Ning pointing at Qili, the latter had been stopped.

As expected, after Qili was hit, he immediately covered the center of his brows and quietened down. He looked at Hao Ning and the people around him with a trembling body, then turned around and jumped over a few tables and ran out of the restaurant. When he saw this, Hao Ning shouted, “Stop him!” However, the others had all been terrified by the aura, so who dared to touch Qili?

Hao Ning had not finished speaking and was about to give chase, but he saw the manager rushing towards them.

“We’re damned…” Hao Ning frowned. He looked at Liu Shuai and knew that the manager was about to make troubles for them.

“Sir,” the manager calmed down with a serious face and asked Hao Ning, “May I ask if that person is your friend?”

“What is it?” Hao Ning braced himself and asked, planning to say that he recognized the wrong person, and did not know him at all.

“It’s nothing. It’ll be great if he isn’t your friend,” The manager looked at Hao Ning and continued, “Considering his behaviors, we could have called the police. Since he crashed our restaurant in such a state, I’m sure that he will be kept in custody if he gets caught. I was wondering, that since you just stood out and helped us, if that person is not a friend of yours, then we could report the case without worry. After all, with the footage here and other evidence, it should not be a problem to find this person.”

“Err …” Hao Ning was dumbstruck. This manager was resourceful. If Hao Ning said that he did not know Qili, then it would be very troublesome if Qili got captured after the manager called the police. However, if Hao Ning admitted that Qili was his friend, then the next sentence manager would probably say was “Please help us find your friend so we can take him to the police station.” Either way, Qili would end badly. Although he did not know what had happened to Qili, Hao Ning felt a little uneasy. He had many thoughts, while no clue on how to respond.

“Let me take care of it. I’ll compensate you all for stuff smashed and the medical fees of the security guards.” Zhang Dalong, who had been silent at the side, spoke out and told Jienan, “Go and take care of this. It’s on my account.”

Jienan nodded and said to the manager, “Do you accept WeChat?”

“Sir,” The manager smiled as he looked at Jienan, “The amount may be quite a bit. I recommend you to use your card so that we can manage it a little easier.”

“Well,” Jienan blushed and looked at Zhang Dalong. Zhang Dalong smiled and waved his hand, then said: “We probably should work harder.”

Jienan nodded and took out a black card. Then he walked forward and glanced at the manager. The manager looked at the card, then the crowd, and left without a word.

Hao Ning sighed. Since money is made from peace, the manager did not want to make things difficult for anyone. It was just that he could not report to his boss for such a mess, which was why he asked that question just now. Zhang Dalong knew his thoughts well, so he merely spent money to settle the issue. Still, it was an embarrassment to let an outside cope with the mess caused by his friend.

“Hey, the three of you, I have already introduced myself. Do you mind introducing yourself as well?” Zhang Dalong said to the three of them in a smile as he watched Jienan leave.

“…” Hao Ning sighed, “My name is Hao Ning, and this is Zhou Yuan; that is Liu Shuai.”

“Pleased to meet you,” Zhang Dalong smiled. “Your mouths are firm. Well, we have all watched a big battle together, don’t you want to talk?”

“Done!” Jienan ran over, but Zhang Dalong did not bother with him. He continued smiling at the three.

Hao Ning thought for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai. Liu Shuai nodded and said, “Seems like he is not a bad guy.”

Zhou Yuan also agreed.

Seeing the attitude of the two of them, Hao Ning paused for a moment, then said to Zhang Dalong, “Fine, but you have to promise me one thing first.”

Zhang Dalong nodded, “Promise what?”

“Do not hurt Zhou Yuan.”
