196: Chapter 194: Flame Demon Scorpion King 196: Chapter 194: Flame Demon Scorpion King The four bodyguards’ intense murderous aura surged like a tidal wave, and Tangyu’s gaze instantly turned cold as well.
These four were no ordinary characters, and Tangyu did not dare to take them lightly.
The power-packed fists of the four men reached Tangyu’s front in an instant.
They took up four positions, essentially forming a killing formation that was unavoidable.
Moreover, their speed was extremely fast, and as they swooped in, a strong wind followed.
Tangyu’s body shook, his internal energy moving through him like flowing vigor, causing his body to twist like a snake.
Softness overcomes hardness, Tai Chi summons Yang Yin.
When their fists touched Tangyu’s clothes, they suddenly felt as though they were hitting a sponge, devoid of solid resistance.
This shocked the four men, but what shocked them more was that their fists seemed to be suctioned and could not be pulled back.
Tangyu’s body, agile like a snake, twisted and pulled, causing an unseen force to act on the four men’s fists.
They instantly felt as though invisible hands firmly grasped their fists, beyond their control.
“Bang!
Bang!”
Under the manipulation of Tangyu’s Tai Chi, pairs of fists violently collided, creating a fierce momentum and numbing the men’s fists.
All four stumbled back forcefully, retreating about two to three meters before they could stabilize their stance.
The way the four men viewed Tangyu suddenly changed.
They were also martial artists, and although they couldn’t claim a deep understanding of Hua Country’s martial arts, they recognized some widely known techniques.
However, they had never encountered such a martial art before.
The feeling just now was terrifying.
“Hmm.” Zhang Guoli, solid as Mount Tai, also furrowed his brows, his eyes flickering with strange lights.
He knew the strength of his four personal bodyguards—each one was from the Special Forces with formidable combat skills, capable of killing an enemy in one move.
The annual salary for these four alone exceeded two million; spending so much was for peace of mind.
Usually unbeatable, today, they had encountered some resistance.
The faces of the four bodyguards showed signs of displeasure; always the most potent spearhead for Zhang Guoli, they had usually struck effectively but had met with some minor losses today, which naturally irked them.
“Ha ha ha ha!!!!”
All four shouted in unison, charging towards Tangyu again.
The Water Path is also a Profound Meaning.
The situation was the same as before, their power still couldn’t touch Tangyu, who redirected it onto their companions.
This time their fists struck each other’s chests, creating a resounding echo like drums, causing them intense pain as they retreated.
“Hmph, the strength is indeed formidable, even my four bodyguards have suffered greatly; no wonder he’s so arrogant at such a young age.
It seems I underestimated him.
It’s a pity that he can’t work for me, otherwise, he could definitely become my trump card.
But good things that can’t be obtained can only be destroyed, hmph.” Zhang Guoli’s eyes gleamed with a sinister light, brimming with murderous intent.
“Let me do it.” One of the bodyguards shouted loudly, clearly understanding the principle of using an opponent’s force against them, the Water Path.
Having more people was rather disadvantageous in this situation.
The bodyguard shouted, his face fierce as he rushed towards Tangyu like a roaring tiger.
In terms of size alone, he was almost twice Tangyu’s.
The sight of them together was disproportionately striking.
His fist, as large as a casserole, smashed down towards Tangyu’s head like a meteor; hitting him would likely even crack a stone head.
Tangyu moved, dodging the bodyguard’s punch with an eerie step and got to his side.
With a sweep of his arm, he grabbed the bodyguard’s steel-like wrist and suddenly pulled downwards with the momentum.
“Hmph, get lost.” Knowing Tangyu’s intention, the bodyguard swung his fist violently, unleashing a tremendous force from his arm.
As a strongman, he had immense strength.
However, he soon discovered in horror that his arm seemed bound, unable to swing at all.
No matter how much force he exerted, he couldn’t free himself from the gripping hand.
This feeling of frustration made his face turn red, and his veins bulged visibly.
“Bang!”
The bodyguard’s fist was pulled down, smashing heavily onto the ground, breaking the wooden floor and scattering splinters.
His fist too was smashed and bled.
Tangyu lifted his hand, and the bodyguard staggered back, supported by another bodyguard, as his bloody hand continued to drip.
“Damn it!” The bodyguard was furiously enraged.
Zhang Guoli’s eyes twitched violently as he shouted, “A bunch of trash, stop wasting time.”
No sooner had Zhang Guoli spoken than the four bodyguards simultaneously drew their guns, aiming at Tangyu.
Coming from a background of Special Forces, their shooting skills were undoubtedly superb.
Now, they surrounded Tangyu in four positions, guns trained on him, waiting for Zhang Guoli’s command, ready to riddle Tangyu with bullets.
Even if made of steel, it would be hard to withstand bullets, especially since the guns they held were extremely powerful.
As the four of them aimed their guns at him, Tangyu stopped and gave a cold, light laugh as he looked towards Zhang Guoli.
At that moment, Zhang Guoli also had a sinister and fierce expression.
Seeing that there was still no hint of fear on Tangyu’s face, Zhang Guoli was angry yet somewhat curious.
Could this young man still have some tricks up his sleeve?
However, Zhang Guoli immediately snorted coldly, thinking that no matter what tricks the young man had, entering here meant certain death.
No matter how capable he was, he didn’t believe he could stop bullets.
“I always appreciate talent, but it’s a pity you don’t cherish the opportunities you’re given.
Do you still think you can walk out of here unscathed?” Zhang Guoli sneered.
“Hmph.” Tangyu lightly smiled, “Repeating the same words has no meaning.
True, you have four guns, and wanting to kill me is not difficult.”
“Hmph, knowing this, from where do you derive the confidence to oppose me?” Zhang Guoli looked down patronizingly at Tangyu.
“I don’t normally operate on confidence, but rather on my conscience and my own will.
I’ve already told you not to use dirty tricks against Sister Xinxin.
But you repeatedly undercut me.
Just for that, there’s nothing more to be said between us.
It’s either you die or I die.
I don’t believe in dismissing grudges with a smile; I’ve always dealt with my grievances directly.
You dared to harm the woman by my side; that’s my bottom line,” Tangyu said.
“Haha.” Zhang Guoli burst into loud laughter filled with scorn and sarcasm, “So, you’ve fallen for Zhao Xinxin, huh?
Interesting, indeed quite interesting.
A mere employee falling for his boss, do you think you’re in a soap opera?
Why would a toad ever covet swan velvet?
Do you think you now have the qualifications to associate with nobility?
With no money, no power, no status, what do you have to love Zhao Xinxin with?
Ridiculous, pitiful, pathetic.
I actually regret you are a talent.
If you had agreed to work with me earlier, what is Zhao Xinxin in comparison?”
“What?
Better than being a lapdog for someone else, right?
Even if I am a toad, I am thousands of times better than a dog like you.
What right do you have to laugh at me?” Tangyu coldly sneered back.
Zhang Guoli’s face instantly turned dark and sinister, his eyes flitting with sharpness.
“You are nothing but a hypocrite, looking shiny on the surface but filled with evil deeds and causing misery and violent deaths behind the scenes.
Do you even realize how many people you’ve had killed over the past six months?” Tangyu glanced piercingly at Zhang Guoli.
A shadow passed through Zhang Guoli’s eyes, his expression showing some surprise.
What exactly did this young man know?
“What are you trying to say?” Zhang Guoli asked.
“I’m not trying to say much.
People do as they will, but Heaven watches.
The net of Heaven has large meshes but lets nothing through; good or evil will be repaid.
Wrongdoing will not lead to good ends,” Tangyu remarked.
“Haha, lecturing me about morality, how ridiculous.
So, you’re the police’s man, undercover?” Zhang Guoli said.
“Hmm, if you think so, then so be it,” Tangyu replied.
Zhang Guoli’s eyes flickered uncertainly, and he said, “Regardless of whether you are or not, you won’t leave this place again, take action.”
But before Zhang Guoli could finish speaking, Tangyu opened his mouth and a beam of red light shot out like a meteor, crossing several meters in an instant, directly hitting Zhang Guoli.
“Ahh—” Zhang Guoli screamed instantly, as his neck and then his entire face turned blood red almost instantly, as if painted, frighteningly red.
Zhang Guoli tried to raise his hand but found he had no strength at all.
The blood in his body felt as if it were boiling, his entire body suddenly feeling unbearably hot, as if he had fallen into a furnace.
Zhang Guoli felt as though his entire body was on fire, with the temperature still rapidly rising.
Zhang Guoli’s four bodyguards also froze, stopping their actions, and all looked in shock towards Zhang Guoli, their gaze quickly landing on his neck, where they saw a fiery red scorpion approximately five centimeters long, looking as if it was bathed in flames, exquisitely fierce.
Zhang Guoli had been bitten by this creature and had turned like this; the creature must be incredibly venomous.
“What, what have you done to me?” Zhang Guoli finally spoke in terror.
Tangyu said, “I haven’t done anything to you.
The law requires evidence; whatever happens to you is none of my concern.
However, I can kindly tell you that your body temperature will remain around fifty degrees, and I think you can hold on for about a day in this condition.
Of course, I am a doctor, I can cure your condition.
But I don’t cure people for free.
Oh, and you had better not move around much — if it bites you again, you will last only fifteen minutes, and a third bite would make it beyond anyone’s help, even immortals.”
The first time he used the Flame Demon Scorpion King, watching it excitedly sucking Zhang Guoli’s blood, Tangyu shook his head internally.
Although feeding it blood could accelerate its growth, Tangyu did not like such a cruel method of rapid nurturing.
This was also the first time Tangyu had used the Flame Demon Scorpion King.
It was still young, so he had been keeping it inside his body.
Its venom was so potent that in all of Hua Country, fewer than five individuals could treat it.
