Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 38 As Tough As A Cockroach

The moment the lights went out, Ning Tao turned his eyes to the door of the office, but it was so dark that he couldn't see anything.

"What happened?" Lin Qingyu momentarily got nervous.

Ning Tao suddenly realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly put the capsule back into the cut bluish "clay" and put it in his pants pocket.

Whistling!

Suddenly there was a sound of wind.

An unprecedented strong sense of crisis came over Ning Tao in a flas.h.!.+

He instinctively ducked aside the moment he heard the wind. He moved extremely quick, yet it was still a little slower.

Bang!

A fist hit Ning Tao, and the terrible force sent him flying and he slammed into the wall behind the desk before he bounced back to the floor. Intense pain spread through every nerve of his body, and it made him suspect that his chest was like a piece of gla.s.s that fell on the floor and broke!

"Doctor Ning? Doctor—Ahh!" Lin Qingyu gave a sudden scream, and then Ning Tao heard someone knocking over something.

Ning Tao became worried about Lin Qingyu, but he couldn't see her.

Fortunately, Ning Tao had his own way to see her. With a move of his mind, his eyes and nose immediately entered the state of looking and smelling. At that moment, he saw two clouds of colorful auras and smelled countless scents. The auras looked like fluoresce, which allowed him to see Lin Qingyu, who knocked over an experimental instrument and was struggling to get up from the floor.

He also saw the attacker—the old security guard!

The old security guard didn't wear gla.s.ses before, but now he was wearing a pair of gla.s.ses. It was obvious that the gla.s.ses helped him see in the dark.

The moment Ning Tao turned his eyes to the old man, the old man suddenly jumped up. His lean body reached over Ning Tao's head in a jiffy, and he instantly stretched out his right leg, kicking Ning Tao in the head like a cannon ball.

His attack was deadly. He seemed to try to kill Ning Tao!

Ning Tao promptly rolled away.

Bam!

The old man's foot hit the floor, and then the hard ceramic tiles cracked and debris flying everywhere!

"Gee!" The old man finally made a sound. Clearly, he didn't expect Ning Tao to dodge his attack in the pitch dark.

Ning Tao rolled on the floor and got up with his inertia. He was startled, for he had never seen anyone crush a tile on the floor like the old man. He knew that the old man had just stepped on the floor with more than 500kg of force!

"Who are you? What do you want?"

"You can see me?" asked the old man tentatively.

He did not know that Ning Tao could see the aura released by his body like a colorful lantern, so that Ning Tao could not only see his body, but even his eyes, nose and even a few spa.r.s.e whiskers on his chin!

However, Ning Tao chose not to answer his question. And when the old man asked him, he looked left and right, trying to make out that he couldn't see him.

At this moment, Lin Qingyu finally got up from the floor. "Who are you?" she snapped. "You are not an employee of our company. I warn you, you'd better not mess around, or I'll call the police right now!"

Then she actually took out her phone and unlocked it, her face illuminated by the glow of the phone's screen.

"You're courting death!" The old man snorted coldly and jerked his right arm.

"Look out!" exclaimed Ning Tao.

But it was too late.

Smack!

The phone in Lin Qingyu's hand burst, and a dart went through the phone and lodged in her right breast.

"Ouch!" Lin Qingyu gave a cry of pain. Then she covered her right breast and fell to the floor.

The next second, before Lin Qingyu lay down on the floor, the old man swung his hands continuously and three darts flew to Ning Tao in a triangle shape. The three darts were fired as quickly as if at the same time!

Ning Tao had already seen what the old man was doing, so he had already thrown himself sideways while the old man was taking action.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

All the three darts. .h.i.t the wall, sending their sparks in all directions.

Before Ning Tao could stabilize himself, the old man suddenly moved. His lean body was as light and swift as a bird, and he jumped on Ning Tao again. He threw his right arm like a cannonball into Ning Tao's chest. The sound of his fist and arm rubbing against the air was audible!

Such a punch would probably break through a solid wooden door, let alone a human body!

But instead of ducking, Ning Tao fought back with a clenched fist.

A trace of disdain tugged at the corner of the old man's mouth. Apparently he despised Ning Tao's.

Bang!

Bang!

They were both punched in the chest at the same time.

"Puff!" Ning Tao suddenly spat blood out of his mouth and was thrown into the air again, knocking over a bookshelf behind before falling to the floor.

The old man, by contrast, took only two steps back, balancing himself easily.

"You're really capable, young man," the old man said in a cold voice, walking to Ning Tao. "Unfortunately, you have to die anyway!"

The next second Ning Tao rose from the floor.

The old man was startled and cried, "Why could you stand up?"

Ning Tao didn't say anything, but looked at Lin Qingyu. Lin Qingyu's body was still wrapped in a colorful aura, which was slightly weakened. He also heard her breathing, which was not faint and only a little uneven. He was immediately relieved, because these features showed that Lin Qingyu was injured, but it was not fatal and would not be life-threatening for the time being.

"Give in! You've been hit by my Stone-smas.h.i.+ng Fist, and now you've got at least three ribs broken, your internal organs bleeding, and you're going to die soon from internal bleeding. Give me the stuff. In this way, I can help you to reduce the pain of dying." The old man acted as if he was a shoo-in, and his voice was mocking.

Ning Tao grunted coldly and said, "It's not certain who will die. What are you talking about? Do you think you have X-ray vision? You said I had three ribs broken and internal bleeding. Nonsense!"

"Didn't, didn't you get hurt?" The old man was stunned again.

It was not that Ning Tao wasn't hurt, but it was that he was being quickly healed. His spiritual power had the "gift" of healing, which could heal others' injuries in a few minutes, not to mention his own? In addition, his spiritual power had a certain defense capability, and thus it could reduce the damage he suffered. And as an inborn go-between of good and evil and the owner of the Sky Clinic, he had practiced a unique cultivation method and owned the one and the only spiritual power of white and black. It would be strange if he had three broken ribs by a blow!

The old man recovered from his surprise in a moment, and then stepped up to Ning Tao. "You are the first person that didn't get hurt after being punched by my Stone-smas.h.i.+ng Fist. You're indeed a capable man, but you shouldn't have gotten yourself into this. No matter how you struggle, you will be killed by me!"

Ning Tao reached out and wiped the blood off his mouth. "You mean I'm dead, huh? Look down at your chest before you brag."

The old man looked down hurriedly. What he saw immediately made his face sullen.

There was a blue silver needle on his right breast, and it trembled, but he could not feel it!

"What kind of needle is this?" There was a noticeable change in the old man's momentum.

Ning Tao replied dryly, "It's a Sacred Needle."

"Sacred Needle? Never heard of it!" The old man laughed suddenly. "So that's why you just shot back at me. You can actually see me, but pretended not to see. I underestimated you. You are very cunning, but if you think that a needle could frighten me, you are wrong!"

"The more you act like you don't care, the more worried you are," Ning Tao said, "Let me tell you, my needle is poisoned, and I'm the only person who can cure it. You will soon feel itchy, and then your flesh will turn necrotic, and in the end, you'll die."

The old man scornfully replied, "There's poison on the needle, and only you can detoxify it. Do you think you're making a martial arts movie?"

"Believe it or not," Ning Tao went on. "In addition, I have to tell you that if my Sacred Needle was stuck in your arm, it would take several hours for the poison to attack. But with the needle in your heart, I think it's going to happen faster. If you continue to attack me, your vital energy and blood will run too fast, and the poison attack will be more rapid."

"Bullsh*t!"

A hint of a smile appeared on Ning Tao's lips. "If you want to live, you'd better be polite, or you'll suffer more later."

The old man abruptly shook his right hand, and a ray of blue light shot out at Ning Tao.

The old man acted so fast that Ning Tao couldn't dodge. As a result, the ray of blue light hit his face. It was the Sacred Needle that had been trusted in the old man's right breast.

The old man let out a sneer. "Now you have your own poison needle in your head, what will you do?"

Ning Tao reached out, pulled out the Sacred Needle and put it in the pocket of his suit before answering, "You may not believe it, it doesn't work for me, but it works for you."

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Are you taking me for a school-aged child?"

"Believe it or not."

The old man then charged Ning Tao. He took three quick steps, then sprang to his feet and pounced on Ning Tao like a goshawk catching a rabbit!

Ning Tao dodged, and the old man sidled past him before a bookshelf fell apart behind him!

"Go to h.e.l.l!" With a roar, the old man turned and kicked Ning Tao on the waist.

With a dull grunt of pain, Ning Tao was knocked out again, and another bookshelf fell apart under his impact, leaving files and books scattered all over the floor.

Clearly, the old man was a martial artist who had been immersed in martial arts for decades, while Ning Tao was just a senior student in a medical university, who had just become a pract.i.tioner. In other words, he only was a beginner to cultivation, who had never met such a true martial artist like the old man. He was more than one level weaker than the old man in combat alone!

However, he was well able to withstand being hit.

After a second on the floor, Ning Tao rolled and got up. His spiritual power could soften and heal his wounds. Others could not stand this kind of attack even once, but he could stand it dozens of times!

"F*ck! I'll see how many blows you can put up with!" The old man lunged at Ning Tao again, punching him in the chest.

Ning Tao clenched his fist and fought back again.

Boom!

Boom!

Again, Ning Tao was knocked into the air and fell.

The old man did not steady himself until he took several steps back, with an appalled look on his face. He had been practicing martial arts for decades and was good at punching. These blows could even nearly destroy an ORV, but his opponent rose from the floor again and again, like a rubber man!

Ning Tao got up from the floor again, looked at the old man with frosty eyes and said, "Old man, I haven't had ma.s.sage like this for a long time. Come on, I'll see how much longer you can hold on!"

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Go to h.e.l.l!" The old man let out a roar and attacked Ning Tao again.

However, before he was close to Ning Tao, he suddenly paused and subconsciously raised his right hand to cover his heart. For a moment his eyes filled with wonder and fear.

Ning Tao's mouth curved into a cold smile. "As I said, my needle was poisoned. You've been attacking me, carrying on vigorous exercise, so you'll soon have poison attack." Then he made a pause, and snapped in a cold voice, "On your knees! Tell me who you are and what you are doing here!"

"You don't know who you're up against. You'll be sorry." After that, the old man suddenly turned and rushed to the door of the office. He walked at a strange pace and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Ning Tao didn't go after him and couldn't because Lin Qingyu was still lying on the floor.
