Chapter 1009: Sizzling Sound
The two sturdy men took half a step forward at the right moment, and the protruding gun-shaped outlines on their waists caused the clothes to deform.
Xingye suddenly rushed out, the fluorescence of "Star Track Candy" flickered in his palm: "Don't bully grandpa!" The child's clear voice startled the strong man behind Li Mahua and made him stagger back - those light bands turned into miniature dragons and phoenixes under the moonlight, circling around the ankles of the man. Qi Tongwei held his grandson's trembling shoulders and took out two stacks of banknotes from his arms: "Two thousand, I'll buy cigarettes for my old classmate."
"Sending away beggars?" Li Mahua's roar shook off the frost on the branches. But when he stretched out his hand to grab the money, the night-scented mushroom icing suddenly burst out with electricity, burning him so much that he retracted his hand. Qi Tongwei looked at the strange red spots that appeared on the other's wrist. The shape was exactly the same as the symptoms when the ground veins were polluted. "Remember, some money must be returned." His voice was mixed with the rustling of the new locust trees, as cold as the wind in the Antarctic glacier.
Three months later, Interpol surrounded an underground casino in Southeast Asia. In the surveillance footage, Li Mahua, who had lost a lot of money, was frantically injecting some kind of purple liquid. The lines crawling under his skin were exactly the same as the pollution on Taotie's body back then.
As the daughter of Li Mahua, Li Xiaoli was ready for revenge. When she kicked open the iron door of the monitoring station, the fluorescent light from the night-scented mushroom cultivation room stretched Qi Tongwei's shadow. Under the girl's long purple hair, the metal ring on her brow glowed coldly, and the black belt of Taekwondo stretched a sharp arc around her waist. "Murderer!" Her roar shook the ground vein waveform on the wall slightly, and before Qi Tongwei could speak, the whirlwind kick came with a strong wind.
Qi Tongwei rolled sideways, his back hitting the display case, and the glass jar of "Pure Moon Sugar" shattered. The moonlight sealed in the sugar cubes spilled onto the ground, reflecting the trajectory of Li Xiaoli's punch - the punch tip actually had a dark purple afterimage similar to the contamination of the earth veins. He picked up the bronze phoenix flute to block, and the totem on the flute collided with the incoming fist wind, bursting out golden sparks, and Li Xiaoli's knuckles were instantly burned.
"Your father has brought this upon himself!" Qi Tongwei spun around and jumped up, grabbing the night-scented mushroom icing bag on the table and throwing it out. The icing exploded in the air, forming a fine protective net, but was torn into pieces by Li Xiaoli's roundhouse kick. The girl pulled out a short blade from her boot, and the tip of the blade lifted up the corner of Qi Tongwei's clothes. With the sound of fabric being cut, the hideous scar of his old injury on his waist was revealed - that was the mark left by the fight against the Taotie.
Liang Lu tried to control the situation with a sonic jammer, but was hit on the wrist by a dart thrown by Li Xiaoli. When the instrument fell to the ground, Qi Tongwei seized the opportunity and used the soft power of Tai Chi Boxing Manual to disarm the opponent's attack. The edge of his palm brushed past Li Xiaoli's ear, knocking off a few strands of purple hair. The girl suddenly curled up and rolled, her legs sweeping across like a steel whip. Qi Tongwei used the force to jump onto the experimental table and casually picked up the fluorescent mycelium in the culture dish and threw it out.
Fluorescence formed a light net in the air, and Li Xiaoli's pupils suddenly contracted, as if she saw the twisted lines under her father's skin before he died. She roared like a trapped beast, leaped into the air and kicked continuously, each strike carrying the unique tremor of ground pollution. Qi Tongwei bit his tongue and sprayed blood foam on the phoenix flute. The ancient totem burst out with strong light, colliding violently with the purple light in the girl's fist wind, and the metal equipment in the entire laboratory made an overwhelmed humming sound.
When the battle was in full swing, Xingye suddenly rushed into the battlefield holding a "Star Track Candy". The galaxy-like light band in the candy wrapped around Li Xiaoli's ankles, and the girl paused. Qi Tongwei took the opportunity to perform a grappling technique, but was stunned the moment he touched the opponent's shoulder - there were also dark purple lines wriggling under the skin there. "You are also contaminated..." Before he finished his exclamation, Li Xiaoli had broken free and hit his abdomen with her knee.
The two men fought under the new locust tree, and the moonlight cast the shadows of the dragon and phoenix totems on them. Li Xiaoli's short blade was against Qi Tongwei's throat, but when she saw the new golden lines on the bark, her hand holding the knife began to tremble.
The sound of splashing gravel woke up the night owl roosting in the locust tree.
"Let me go!" Li Xiaoli pressed her knee against his chest, and the short blade approached again. Qi Tongwei suddenly caught a glimpse of the spell-like red spots on her neck, which were exactly the same as the symptoms of the victims of the pollution incident in Sumatra three years ago. He flicked his finger at the acupuncture point between the girl's elbows, and when her arm was numb, he jumped up and took out the special night-scented mushroom candies from his waist - these candies wrapped in cinnabar glowed with a warm red light under the moonlight.
"Your father participated in the contamination of the earth veins!" Qi Tongwei threw the candy into the air, and the broken icing turned into a light net that enveloped Li Xiaoli. The girl screamed angrily, and the side kick in Taekwondo tore the light net, and the air wave overturned the potted night-scented mushroom on the laboratory window sill. Qi Tongwei picked up the bronze phoenix flute to block, and the flute collided with the opponent's shin, making a sound like a bell, which shocked Li Xiaoli to stagger back.
At this moment, the piercing sound of a car braking suddenly came from afar. A woman with a high ponytail jumped off the SUV. Her muscles were faintly visible under her black leather coat, and a half-broken phoenix was tattooed on her neck. It was Li Xiaoli's sister Li Dali. She rushed into the battlefield holding a nunchaku. Amid the sound of metal collision, Qi Tongwei had to give up chasing Li Xiaoli and dodged the whistling shadow of the nunchaku.
"Kill someone and pay with your life!" Li Dali's nunchaku danced into a silver snake, and every swing was accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Qi Tongwei dodged with the Bagua footwork, and grabbed the fluorescent mycelium on the ground and threw it at the opponent. These myceliums with the energy of the earth veins wove into a light cocoon in the air, but were shattered by Li Dali's chopping stick, and the flying fragments left fine blood marks on her arm.
Li Xiaoli took the opportunity to attack from behind, and the short blade went straight to Qi Tongwei's back. At the critical moment, he performed a kite flip, grabbed Li Xiaoli's wrist, used the force to rotate, and threw her towards Li Dali. The two sisters collided with each other in a hurry, and the nunchaku and the short blade rubbed against each other. Qi Tongwei took the opportunity to take out the special "Dingfengbo Candy", which was mixed with Tianshan Snow Lotus and melted when it came into contact with water, and turned into white mist in the air to cover the battlefield.
"The contamination of the ground veins will cost you your lives!" Qi Tongwei's voice penetrated the mist, "Look at the lines on your bodies, they are exactly the same as those of the evil spirits back then!" Li Dali waved his stick to disperse the white mist, but his movements were obviously slow - black blood oozed out of her palms at some point, emitting an ominous luster in the moonlight. Li Xiaoli knelt on one knee, covering her heart, and the dark purple lines under her skin were spreading along the blood vessels to her heart.
The new locust tree suddenly made a mournful hum, and the golden lines on the bark moved like a living thing, forming a huge phantom of a dragon and a phoenix hovering above everyone's head. Qi Tongwei seized the opportunity and crushed the last piece of "Jingyue Sugar" and threw it into the air. The icing sugar turned into thousands of light spots, seeping into the lines under the skin of the Li sisters. The dark purple pollution marks began to shrink violently, making a sizzling sound that made people's teeth ache.
