Chapter 559: Chapter 555 Confidence

"Taotie, hurry up and kill him..."

"Unhappy can’t hold on much longer..."

Just as Taotie was enjoying the blissful act of pummeling Zuo Ci punch after punch, Tom’s shout pulled Taotie back to reality.

Hearing Tom’s call, Taotie stopped mid-punch.

He turned his head to look at Unhappy.

What he saw was Unhappy lying on the ground, motionless, as though he were dead.

Unhappy had been injured far too severely by the Suture Monster.

If not for his beast-like resilience, any other top-level master in his place would have already gone to meet King Yama after enduring such a beating.

Even Unhappy himself, upon seeing Taotie wake up and violently turn the tide to crush Zuo Ci, could no longer hold on as the tension in his mind loosened. He fainted immediately, his body entering a state of pseudo-death.

Witnessing Unhappy’s miserable condition, Taotie’s pupils shrank. When he turned to look at Zuo Ci again, the murderous intent in his eyes was unmistakable and impossible to hide.

Though beating Zuo Ci gave Taotie the satisfying feeling of a grandfather spanking his grandson, compared to Unhappy’s life, Taotie was willing to let go of this double-edged pleasure of generational superiority.

Taotie’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam, and he delivered a powerful punch to Zuo Ci’s spine.

Crack—

Zuo Ci’s spine broke with an audible snap.

Taotie didn’t stop there and continued throwing punches.

Another fierce punch landed on Zuo Ci.

Crack—

Another crisp sound followed.

Zuo Ci’s neck was snapped by Taotie’s punch.

Zuo Ci’s body convulsed a few times.

Then his body went rigid and life left him.

To ensure there was no risk, Taotie used all his strength to smash Zuo Ci’s head with a few more punches.

Only after denting Zuo Ci’s skull and twisting his head off his neck, flinging it off the cliffside, did Taotie finally relent.

Standing up from Zuo Ci’s headless corpse, Taotie quickly ran to Unhappy.

He checked Unhappy’s breathing and found he was still barely breathing. Taotie let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, still alive."

Taotie said, feeling relieved.

Taotie picked up Unhappy and ran back to Tom: "Old Tom, Unhappy is still alive."

As he spoke, Taotie glanced at the car.

Looking at the wreck of a car bearing the scars of Syria-like war damage, Taotie was dumbfounded.

"Old Tom, can this car still run?"

Taotie looked at Tom, uncertainly asking.

Tom looked at the car as well.

He shook his head with a bitter smile: "Not a chance."

"Go up the hill and take a look. Zuo Ci’s car should be up there. Bring it down."

Tom was convinced Zuo Ci and the Suture Monster didn’t reach them on foot; they must have had a vehicle.

Upon hearing Tom’s words, the non-thinking Taotie lit up with joy, put Unhappy down, and bolted off.

Tom shook his head repeatedly: "What’s the use of a brain perched on his shoulders?"

Taotie paid no heed to Tom’s criticism.

He sprinted forward, taking two leaps to reach the hilltop.

Sure enough, he found a seven-seater minivan by the roadside.

The vehicle was empty, but the keys were still inside.

Taotie also found a piece of scale-like keratin in the driver’s seat belonging to Zuo Ci.

With this piece of scale-like keratin, even Taotie, who avoided thinking, could figure out that this seven-seater minivan was Zuo Ci and the Suture Monster’s ride.

Taotie tossed aside the keratin, got in the driver’s seat, and drove off without hesitation.

After all, Zuo Ci and the Suture Monster were both dead.

Even if they weren’t dead, Taotie wasn’t afraid.

Having killed them once, he could kill them again.

If it came to it, he’d just kill them a second time.

Taotie drove the car down the hill on the road.

"Old Tom, get in!"

Taotie rolled down the window and shouted at Tom.

Tom leaned against the car, casting Taotie a sidelong glance.

"Get in?"

"Get in what, you fool?"

Tom grumbled internally.

But he gave Taotie a sweet smile.

"Brother, carry me!"

Tom extended his arms toward Taotie, motioning for a hug, his gaze expectant.

Taotie’s mouth twitched, shaking his head.

"Old Tom, isn’t that a bit... improper?"

There was hesitation in Taotie’s tone.

He seemed unsure about whether he should hug Tom or not.

"If you know it’s improper, why aren’t you helping me up? Do you really want to hug me?"

Tom was exasperated.

This fool Taotie was actually contemplating the hug.

"Well, it’s not entirely impossible..."

Taotie muttered, hurriedly stepping off the car.

He ran up to Tom and helped him up.

He supported him all the way to the passenger seat.

"Old Tom, you sit first."

"I’ll go and bring the others on board."

Taotie said, putting Tom in the passenger seat, then dashed away.

Moments later, he returned carrying Unhappy.

Fortunately, Zuo Ci had driven a seven-seater minivan.

The cabin space was spacious enough.

Otherwise, it would’ve been difficult to fit three people lying down.

"Old Tom, Princess Your Highness has fainted."

Taotie called out anxiously.

Tom glanced over: "Don’t worry, we’ll get to the hospital. Now that you’ve broken through to Super Master, we don’t need to flee anymore. We can openly stay in Shu, and as long as you’re here, no one will dare to cause trouble."

Earlier, Fang Xiaocao had quietly told Tom.

When Taotie was in a coma, it was related to his breakthrough to Super Master—it meant once Taotie woke up, he’d already be a Super Master. By then, they could roam freely.

Who wouldn’t want to be a crab these days?

Walking sideways everywhere—isn’t that bliss?

"I’m already Super?"

Taotie blinked in disbelief.

Tom rolled his eyes, too lazy to respond to Taotie.

This fool was always playing dumb despite gaining benefits.

"Hurry up and drive to the hospital."

"If we don’t get there soon, I won’t last much longer."

Tom said irritably.

Tom even wondered if Taotie was doing this on purpose. Among the group, only Taotie remained unscathed.

Taotie "hehe"-grinned.

He immediately started the vehicle, flooring the accelerator. The seven-seater minivan practically took off.

Though it flew too low...

It couldn’t shoulder the sun.

Half an hour later!

Taotie pulled up at the hospital.

The car landed smoothly in the hospital parking lot.

He called over emergency medical personnel to help wheel Fang Xiaocao, Tom, and the others into the hospital.

Under Tom’s direction, Taotie dialed Ye Lingchen’s phone, informing him of his breakthrough to Super Master status and asking Ye Lingchen to call the Tang Sect, demanding an explanation for the assassination attempt on Fang Xiaocao during the Heroic Gathering on Shu’s Tang Sect territory.

He also asked Tang Sect to mobilize Shu’s best medical resources to provide the finest treatment for Fang Xiaocao and the others.

This was the confidence of a Super Master.

Before Taotie’s breakthrough to Super Master, Tom would never have dared to let Taotie make such demands. He wouldn’t even have dared to seek treatment in Shu.

He would’ve definitely directed Taotie to drive out of Shu.

Then find treatment elsewhere.

The news of Taotie’s breakthrough to Super Master was disseminated by Tang Sect across Jianghu, causing a ripple effect of terror among various Jianghu Forces, whether they bore grudges against Fang Xiaocao or not.

The emergence of a Super Master, especially one as young as Taotie, signaled an impending shake-up in the martial arts world.

With Taotie’s age, barring any accidents, living for another one to two centuries was no issue.

Fang Xiaocao, being Taotie’s master, would undoubtedly reign as a major leader for the next one to two centuries.
