CHAPTER 1039 HE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE

Their eyes met through the distance!

The vague scent of a murderous aura floated in the air!

As Jiang Ning waved the technique manual in his hand provocatively, the eyes that were hidden behind the mask far from him deepened.

He looked at Jiang Ning and the single page of the technique manual, and he was terribly shocked by the short span of time it took Jiang Ning to learn the move on this page.

How long had it been?

Just a few days?

It was impossible!

The second move that Jiang Ning just executed was matchless!

What made him feel more wary was the short time it took Jiang Ning to master it.

Most people were incapable of executing the move on the technique manual after a few or perhaps even in ten years. Yet Jiang Ning mastered it only in a matter of days.

He was 100% certain that Jiang Ning already had the Jiang family's page in his possession.

That was the only reason why Jiang Ning could have such a deep understanding of the Extreme Fist Technique Manual.

Their fighting spirit was at boiling point now, and a murderous aura soared into the sky!

Jiang Ning was already mentally prepared for this. If His Lordship attacked him today, then he would fight back and kill His Lordship even if it meant paying the price for it.

But that silhouette only stared at him from a distance for some time before turning to leave. He had no intention of touching Jiang Ning at all.

The murderous air dissipated without leaving a trace behind.

Brother Gou and the others were on their highest alert.

They were completely prepared for a huge battle today. They were even prepared to die for it.

After all, they knew that Jiang Ning took out the single page of the technique manual as bait for His Lordship!

But they didn't expect His Lordship to hold back.

"Big Boss, what's he thinking?" asked Brother Gou perplexedly. "Isn't one page enough?"

"He wasn't confident," said Jiang Ning. "Even if we stood an equal chance, he wouldn't have made a move unless he could kill me with a single blow!"

"Why?" Brother Gou was even more confused.

There was probably nobody in the world who was capable of killing Jiang Ning with one blow.

"Because he can't afford to lose."

In the past, Jiang Ning was uncertain, but now he was sure that His Lordship wanted the Extreme Fist Technique Manual and the secrets behind it.

He might not be interested in obtaining the skills documented in Extreme Fist Technique Manual. Perhaps he was determined to get his hands on the map on the pages instead! Content © 2024.

So even though he had already mastered the second move in the technique manual, His Lordship remained patient.

His Lordship could really hold it in.

"Come, let's go home."

Jiang Ning picked up the bags of fruit and turned to leave.

Now he had to obtain the pages of the technique manual faster than His Lordship did to force him to come out to meet with Jiang Ning.

Since he could stay in hiding for over ten years for the technique manual, he was no easy target.

It meant that once the secret behind the Extreme Fist Technique Manual was exposed, it would cause a huge sensation.

"It seems like I still need to make a trip to the north," thought Jiang Ning to himself.

Tan Xing didn't know much about this in the martial arts world. The two old men living in the Jiang house were probably the only ones who might know.

If he could communicate with them and locate his Master, he might be able to learn more.

Not long after Jiang Ning left, the silhouette appeared once again.

His Lordship walked up to his subordinates.

"Your Lordship...he has the technique manual..."

"All of you are completely useless."

His Lordship waved his hand, and a cloud of smoke wafted out. The men on the ground screamed instantly and died as their faces were completely corroded...

His Lordship seemed undisturbed by the sight of the corpses.

It was as though he didn't care at all about his dead subordinates.

It seemed like there was only one thing that he cared about.

"Jiang Ning," said His Lordship calmly. "I wonder how you would choose if you went through the same thing as me."

As he watched Jiang Ning leave, there was a profound look in his eyes that looked as mysterious as the milky way.
