Chapter 593: Chapter 594 Calculating Sun Two

Sun Two succeeded with one palm strike, not pausing at all under his feet. He was extremely confident in his palm strike, believing that even a bull, after suffering his attack, would probably be dazed for a moment, let alone Song Xiaodong who was a mere man.

With a fierce push from his feet, he rushed toward Song Xiaodong with great speed, not wanting to give Song Xiaodong any chance to counterattack. It was his typical style to strike when his opponent was down.

In mid-air, Sun Two quickly caught up to Song Xiaodong and then delivered another palm strike towards Song Xiaodong’s back with all his might, aiming to kill Song Xiaodong with a single blow.

While in mid-air, Song Xiaodong seemed even less able to dodge, watching as Sun Two’s palm was about to hit his back.

A ferocious expression appeared on Sun Two’s face. He could imagine the sight of Song Xiaodong’s heart being shattered by the blow, leading to immediate death.

However, at that moment, two flashes of silver suddenly passed before his eyes.

The lights were as fast as lightning, and although he noticed them, it was too late to dodge. He cried out in his heart that something bad was happening, but it was already too late as the two cold gleams directly entered his eyes.

A not-so-intense sting emanated from his eyes, causing Sun Two’s vision to blur instantly.

This caused him even greater shock as he realized he had been sneakily blinded and might go blind. A mix of fear and anger surged into his heart — he roared furiously, but the strength in his hands did not diminish as he struck towards Song Xiaodong’s back.

With a dull thud, Song Xiaodong took another palm strike, but not on his vital back; instead, he once again avoided the critical spot, taking Sun Two’s palm with his shoulder.

"You... actually dodged it!" Sun Two saw that his strike had missed the vital spot just before his vision completely faded, and after he landed, he immediately yelled angrily.

Song Xiaodong rolled on the ground twice and immediately jumped up. By then both his arms were painfully throbbing, knowing that they must be broken, but he could not care less at the moment. Tilting his head, his mouth, unbeknownst to when, had gathered several silver needles, which he then slanted and drove into his shoulder.

It was then that Song Xiaodong spoke, "From the very beginning, when we were drinking, you made me think you were a forthright master, aiming to make me feel good about you. And when you took action, your many words were merely meant to lower my guard and dissipate my will to fight, thinking that such an honest master wouldn’t ambush me. You had already set up a trap from the start, waiting for me to fall into it. Am I right?"

Sun Two guarded his chest with both hands and said in a deep voice, "Did you see through it from the very beginning?"

"Hmph, despite your rare appearances, with your ability as a master, how could you remain so obscure? Bing Buqun’s nickname isn’t unfounded; it just shows how sinister and cunning you are."

Sun Two’s face turned grim, his eyes wide open, but they couldn’t see anything, with even a thin trickle of blood seeping out. Grinding his teeth, he said, "So, you had already planned to trick me."

"Indeed, though you, Sun Two, are stronger than I am, there would still be difficulty in just trying to kill me based on strength, but defeating me would certainly be no problem. However, you always wanted to win with the least cost, and there you miscalculated."

"Very good! I’ve spent my days plotting against others, and I never expected that you would outsmart me in the end, haha... But even if I’m blind, what of it? You’ve taken two strikes from me; I don’t believe your injuries are minor. Come, take your life!"

Sun Two roared and lunged toward Song Xiaodong, following the sound of his voice. As a master like him, even if blindfolded, could still use sounds to determine an opponent’s position and even predict their moves.

Of course, such a feat required a significant disparity in strength. If it were a healthy Song Xiaodong, attempting this would undoubtedly be suicidal. But with Song Xiaodong’s arms seriously injured, this approach still posed a great threat to him.

Song Xiaodong moved swiftly on his feet and spoke in a deep voice, "I advise you to stop moving your True Qi haphazardly. Haven’t you realized what’s shot into your eyes? I can tell you now; they are two silver needles. They have already entered your brain. Your intense movements will only cause the needles to shake inside your brain, damaging your brain tissue. You should know the consequences without me saying them."

"Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me! Although my eyes have gone blind and this life holds no more prospects for me, dead or alive, what’s the difference? Killing you will allow me to avenge this! Go to hell!"

At this moment, Sun Two was truly intent on fighting to his death, determined to kill Song Xiaodong right there.

This gave Song Xiaodong quite the headache too, as he also sustained heavy injuries. His movements clearly slowed, making it very difficult to dodge Sun Two’s assaults. If not careful, it could really end up a situation where both were gravely injured.

Glimpsing around, Song Xiaodong quickly devised a plan. Sun Two, blind, could only rely on his sound for positioning. However, many things at the mountaintop were stationary, especially near the edge, which wasn’t exactly a cliff but was quite steep.

So, he quickly ran toward the edge of the mountaintop, leading Sun Two there.

Then, he leaped down, and without hesitation, Sun Two pounced in his direction.

However, when Song Xiaodong landed, he could see underfoot and immediately stepped on a small tree. Sun Two couldn’t do the same; his brain presumed the surroundings were flat. Misjudging as flat ground, the feeling was akin to stepping into thin air on stairs, and his body violently plunged downward.

"Ah!" Sun Two yelled angrily, already realizing he was falling off the mountaintop and began flailing his arms trying to grab anything.

But he had lunged too far, a good five or six meters, and by then, there was nothing to grab. After plunging twenty-odd meters, he crashed hard into a pile of rocks.

From such a height, even a healthy Song Xiaodong would have been severely injured. It took Song Xiaodong only a few jumps to reach Sun Two’s side.

Sun Two was indeed tough; he hadn’t died from the fall but couldn’t get up. As he heard Song Xiaodong land, he spat out a mouthful of blood, then chuckled, "Won by schemes, died by schemes, I suppose this is a fitting end."

Song Xiaodong snorted, contemplating whether to give this guy a finishing kick when a sense of danger emanated from behind. He could feel someone had approached very close behind him, the breath from the person’s mouth blew onto his neck, sending shivers down his spine, and it was only then that he became aware of it.
