Chapter 45: Ambush and Fangs

Han Li lowered his head and pondered. It seemed that it really wouldn't work if he didn't let the other test his cultivation base.

The other had given him the antidote for the "Corpse Worm Pill" without hesitation, which had already shown him some sincerity. If he pushed back again, it would instead make the other suspicious for no reason, thinking that he hadn't actually mastered the fourth layer of the Everlasting Spring Technique but was using lies to deceive him. In this way, things would develop in a bad direction, and who knew what unexpected waves would arise.

Moreover, he had already anticipated this step and made some preparations in advance. Even if the other turned hostile immediately after taking his pulse, he had a certain strategy to escape.

Thinking of this, Han Li looked straight into Doctor Mo's eyes and said slowly: "Doctor Mo, for the sake of your giving me the antidote so readily, this is the last time I trust you. I hope you won't let me down."

After saying this, he handed out his right wrist, carefully paying attention to the other's reaction. If there was anything wrong, he would immediately pull it back.

Unfortunately, Doctor Mo maintained a fake smiling face, and there was no different change to be seen at all. Only when he heard his agreement did his eyebrows twitch slightly, but then he returned to his original state. It seemed that he had already been confident about Han Li's answer.

He didn't say anything else, extended his withered left hand, and lightly placed it on Han Li's wrist. His smile gradually faded, becoming solemn and serious, as if he were doing something extremely sacred.

Han Li secretly maintained his fourth-layer cultivation base. Seeing Doctor Mo's expression, he muttered in his heart, immediately raising his vigilance to the highest level, and his left hand quietly pressed toward his waist, where there was a custom-made short sword with a scabbard.

Slowly, an expression of surprise and joy appeared on Doctor Mo's face. He had already perceived the strange energy flowing endlessly in Han Li's meridians. The intensity of this energy flow far exceeded the minimum requirement in his mind.

Even though he was old and calculating, and deep in his heart, seeing that the major event he had planned for a long time was finally promising, he couldn't help but bloom again. It was just that the fake smile he had squeezed out just now was now a joy from the heart.

"Too good, it's really the fourth layer of the Everlasting Spring Technique. Ha! Ha! Really too good! Haha! Haha!..." Doctor Mo laughed loudly in front of Han Li without any concealment. The laughter made the whole room buzz, but his hand never let go of Han Li's wrist, holding it firmly.

"Doctor Mo, what are you doing? Shouldn't you let go?" Han Li's face darkened. He already knew that things were not good, and wanted to pull back his right hand vigorously, but was grabbed firmly by the other, motionless.

"Let go? Good, I'll let go!" Doctor Mo's laughter had stopped at this time, replaced by a ferocious look.

He suddenly roared: "Tai!"

Han Li felt his ears "boom," his eyes went black, the world turned dark, his body lost its balance, and he couldn't stand, collapsing on the ground on the spot. His left hand, which was on the sword hilt, also slid away powerlessly.

"It's broken!" Although Han Li's body didn't listen to him, his brain was very clear, knowing that he had been a bit negligent and had been struck by the other first. For a moment, he could only wait for death.

"Kid, you're still a bit green. Now you can't use any tricks, right!" Seeing that things were as he expected and he had succeeded in one blow, Doctor Mo couldn't help but feel a bit proud.

"Come over here!" Doctor Mo pulled hard toward his chest with his left hand, dragging Han Li from the ground to his feet. Then he bent down and extended his right index finger, pointing straight at the numbness point on his chest.

"Thump!" With a sound, Doctor Mo's finger seemed to have poked an iron plate, making a dull collision sound. The front half of his finger was rebounded and felt painful, and the point was naturally unsuccessful.

"What is going on!" Doctor Mo was stunned by this accident and was shocked in his heart.

"Could it be that under his clothes, he also wore a layer of iron armor!" He couldn't help but think in surprise.

His gaze couldn't help but scan Han Li's clothes, but the thin appearance didn't look like he was wearing hidden armor at all, which made him a bit confused.

In this moment of Doctor Mo's distraction, Han Li regained control of his body. His recovery ability was much stronger than Doctor Mo had expected.

Han Li's sixth-layer Everlasting Spring Technique hadn't been practiced in vain after all. His ability to resist abnormalities was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine, which was something Han Li himself hadn't expected.

At this time, Doctor Mo decisively abandoned the questions in his mind and wanted to change to another method to control Han Li, but suddenly felt that the wrist he had been holding tightly had become slippery and flexible, and could no longer be firmly controlled.

In surprise, he used a bit more strength, but with a "whoosh," the other's hand slipped out from between his fingers like a loach, which really made Doctor Mo a bit stunned.

Regardless of how surprised the other was, Han Li rolled nimbly from his side to a corner of the room. Only after staying far away from Doctor Mo did he dare to stand up slowly.

At this time, Han Li was expressionless, his eyes looking coldly at Doctor Mo.

He didn't say any more nonsense. Although he didn't know the reason why the other wanted to catch him, it was certain that he didn't have any good intentions toward him.

It seemed that what the other had said before about using his Everlasting Spring Technique to stimulate secret points was also a big lie and couldn't be trusted at all.

For himself, and for the safety of his family, Han Li slowly pulled out the short sword from his waist with his left hand. This sword was only a foot long, shining with blue light, making one feel it was extremely sharp at a glance, and it was a good sharp sword.

"Today, it's either you die or I die. Only one of us can walk out of this room alive." Han Li's words were icy, and for the first time in front of Doctor Mo, he revealed his fangs.
