Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Encountering a Master
The driver’s skills were quite professional, and his actions were extremely fast. Judging by his movements, he must have received professional training, performing a series of actions as effortlessly as moving clouds and flowing water, clean and sharp.
Unfortunately, he had chosen the wrong opponent.
Wang Hao used the energy from the Heart of the Dragon to protect his right hand and directly reached out to grab the blade.
"Haha, you fool, how dare you grab a blade with your bare hands, do you no longer want that hand?"
Watching Wang Hao’s move, the driver couldn’t help but laugh.
"Is that so?"
Wang Hao’s mouth curved up slightly in a smile.
The driver suddenly froze, sensing something wasn’t right, as Wang Hao’s hand that was holding the blade wasn’t bleeding at all.
While the driver was still confused, Wang Hao’s hand suddenly exerted force and "clang," the blade snapped in two.
Holding half of the blade, Wang Hao looked at the driver with a mischievous smile, yet his hand remained completely unharmed.
"What kind of skill is this? Golden Bell Shield or Iron Sand Palm?"
The driver’s face turned pale in an instant.
The driver, having spent so much time in the military, had developed a range of skills. He had only come to commit a robbery today and hadn’t expected to encounter a monster like Wang Hao the first time around.
Knowing he couldn’t defeat Wang Hao, the driver got out of the car and prepared to flee.
"You haven’t taken the passenger to their destination yet, doesn’t it seem against the rules to run away like this?"
Unexpectedly, just as the driver got out of the car and was about to flee, Wang Hao blocked his path in an instant.
The driver was once again shocked by Wang Hao. He had always been in the military’s special forces unit, undergoing the strictest training in the country, and was very confident in his speed.
But today, he had not anticipated that Wang Hao’s speed could actually surpass his own.
"You... who exactly are you?"
For the first time in his life, the driver felt panic.
"Come clean, who sent you here, and how did you know the value of the hide? Otherwise, you won’t be leaving here alive today!"
Wang Hao said coldly, not taking the driver seriously at all.
"Alright, alright, hero, I’ll talk!"
The driver sighed and slowly approached Wang Hao.
But just as he got close to Wang Hao, instead of saying anything, he threw a punch at Wang Hao, clearly still unwilling to compromise and determined to challenge Wang Hao’s limits.
Wang Hao just gave a wry smile and caught the driver’s fist with one hand.
The driver was professionally trained, too, and after Wang Hao caught his right fist, he immediately swung his left fist towards Wang Hao’s jaw.
At the same time, the driver chuckled inwardly. His right punch had been a feint to deceive Wang Hao, and it seemed Wang Hao had fallen for it.
By the time Wang Hao realized it was a false attack, it was already too late. The driver’s punch was incredibly fast, and before Wang Hao could react, it was impossible to dodge in time.
Fortunately, Wang Hao had already protected his body with the energy of the Heart of the Dragon.
"Ah—"
After the driver punched Wang Hao, he immediately let out a scream; it wasn’t Wang Hao who cried out, but the driver who threw the punch.
Indeed, the punch landed solidly on Wang Hao’s jaw, but the driver felt as if he had struck a steel plate.
If it weren’t for his years of training that had forged his shins of steel, that punch could have crippled his hand.
"Fuck, what... what on earth are you?"
The driver, in pain, grimaced and clutched his injured hand, wondering what kind of being this guy was, seeing no vulnerabilities from head to toe.
If the fight continued like this, not only would he fail to snatch what was in Wang Hao’s possession, but he might also lose his life.
With that thought, the driver turned and prepared to run away again.
But there was no way Wang Hao would let the driver escape so easily. Taking three steps in two, he blocked the driver’s way again, as Wang Hao had never lost in terms of speed.
"You..."
The driver was too shocked to speak.
This guy was too powerful, and not only that, he was infuriatingly so. His entire body seemed as if made of iron, it was tough enough, but his speed was also frighteningly fast. Who could possibly defeat him?
"Are you going to speak or not?"
Wang Hao growled in a low voice.
"It was Cheng Yin who sent me to rob you of what you have in your hands."
Seeing that he couldn’t escape Wang Hao’s grasp, the driver had no choice but to honestly confess.
Wang Hao frowned upon hearing this.
"How did Cheng Yin know I have the creature skin?" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Wang Hao couldn’t help asking.
"I’m not sure about that; we just follow orders and never ask why."
The driver answered fearfully.
"So what does he want with this creature skin, then?"
Wang Hao asked again.
"It seems he wants to give it to someone."
"To whom?"
"I really don’t know that, but it must be someone very important to him."
Wang Hao continued to ask, but the driver didn’t know how to answer.
It had been mentioned before that Cheng Yin brought back two very strange people this time. Wang Hao sized up the driver from head to toe; judging from his skills shown just now, his strength was indeed considerable.
This must be one of the two people Cheng Yin brought back this time.
"I heard Cheng Yin brought two people with him this time; where’s the other?"
Wang Hao asked.
"You’d better hope you never meet the other one, or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life, because almost everyone who has seen him is dead!"
The driver suddenly smiled viciously.
"Is that so? The more you say I shouldn’t meet him, the more I want to see for myself!"
Wang Hao wasn’t one to be frightened easily; the more he was told not to see, the more he wanted to check it out for himself.
"Can I leave now?"
The driver was neither humble nor arrogant, showing no signs of being a defeated foe.
Wang Hao still admired such mental fortitude; victory and defeat were common in military affairs, and one failure didn’t mean continuous failure.
It was only those who never recover from a single setback that were truly pathetic.
"Go!"
Wang Hao suddenly became serious.
"When you go back, tell Cheng Yin that it was I, Wang Hao, who injured Cheng Yingjie. If he seeks revenge, I am always ready to welcome it."
After finishing his words, he waved his hand to signal the driver to scurry off.
Since the driver had left him in a desolate forest, by the time Wang Hao returned to Deshan Game Hall, it was already dark.
These days, everyone was exhausted from dealing with the turmoil in Zao City, and the Sun Family brothers had already gone to rest.
Back in his room with nothing to do, Wang Hao continued to study the translation of "Shennong Herbal Medicine."
The book recorded a large variety of herbs, including some very common ones; even the yams and radishes that everyone ate were documented, and their medicinal values were analyzed.
However, whether they were common or rare, they were all treated equally in "Shennong Herbal Medicine."
As he read on, Wang Hao suddenly felt a wave of fatigue overwhelm him.
No wonder, it was probably an old habit of his to feel sleepy whenever he read, otherwise he could have gotten into a better university back in the day.
In a drowsy state, Wang Hao fell asleep, but during this groggy moment, his mind suddenly filled with a jumble of information, so chaotic and voluminous that it made his head buzz.
And in his dream, Wang Hao felt someone trying to talk to him, but he could not see who it was.
This person said a lot, but Wang Hao couldn’t remember it at all, barely managing to recall a few keywords.
