Chapter 343 - Bounty Hunter?



Chapter 343 Bounty Hunter?

Ding Ning was in a difficult position. Although he suspected that Ning Ye had bad intentions toward Luoxue, he had not shown anything and had protected Luoxue a number of times. For Ding Ning, this was a kindness.

As the deputy director of the Ninghai branch of the Bureau of Religions, Zhuo Bufan had maintained his morals and many times prevented Ancient Warriors from attacking Luoxue. This made him feel goodwill toward him.

Both had shown kindness and both wanted this body, so Ding Ning had no idea how to deal with this.

After thinking for a moment, Ding Ning raised his head and asked Ye Duxing, “Can you tell me what you plan to do with this body?”

“This… I have my uses for it.”

Ye Duxing hesitated for a moment. She could not bring herself to tell Ding Ning that she was going to exchange the body for points so she gave a casual excuse to him and then turned to Zhuo Bufan. “Director Zhuo, let’s discuss this, the two of us?”

Zhuo Bufan hesitated and then nodded. “Alright!”

Both of them probably did not want Ding Ning to overhear and so walked far away to discuss it.

Long Xiaotian saw that the excitement was over and very decisively left with Feng Ni’er.

Ding Ning couldn’t be bothered eavesdropping on Zhuo Bufan and Ye Duxing’s discussion. He held the silver knife lovingly and turned it over in his hands.

Other than the butcher’s knife in his old man’s hand, this was the first time he had seen such a sharp weapon. After he had been refined as a weapon, it was very difficult for normal weapons to slice through his skin but this silver knife had easily cut through his palm. It was not something a normal knife could compare to.

This knife was unlike the Fuso knife whose blade was about sixty centimeters and was much curved. The blade of this knife was only forty centimeters or so and not very curved. On the contrary, it was relatively straight, closer to a Tangheng knife.

How could a silver mask turn into a knife? Ding Ning was very curious. After careful examination, he discovered that there was an unremarkable button on the hilt of the knife. When gently pressed, the knife trembled slightly then turned into a silver mask.

This mystic group’s technology was very advanced. Ding Ning sighed in admiration and turned the mask back into a knife and played with it in his hands.

Suddenly, a sense of extreme danger came from behind him. Without thinking, Ding Ning retreated and the knife in his hand swiped in an arc to the left.

What! He hit empty air.

The sense of danger suddenly disappeared. As if faced with a great enemy, Ding Ning extended his spiritual strength and sensed around him carefully but did not find anyone.

Was he mistaken? Ding Ning looked around in bewilderment and his expression suddenly changed dramatically. On the ground, the black-robed man’s body was gone.

At this moment, Ye Duxing and Zhuo Bufan both sensed something amiss and quickly walked back. From a distance, they asked, “What happened?”

“The body was stolen.”

Ding Ning’s expression was unusually ugly. Someone had managed to steal the body from under his very nose. This made his hair stand on end.

“Stolen?”

Ye Duxing and Zhuo Bufan’s expression changed together and they looked at Ding Ning with disbelief.

They both knew how powerful Ding Ning was, but yet someone was able to steal the body from in front of him. This was unbelievable.

Ding Ning had no mind to care about their feelings. He didn’t care if the body was lost but the person who could move around so stealthily was a great threat to him and it made him very uneasy.

“Protect my sister for me; I’ll find him!”

Ding Ning gave an unquestionable command. A faint light flashed through his eyes and his All-seeing Eye was once again activated. Very quickly, he found a trace of a blurry black-robed figure.

The black-robed man was also wearing a silver mask but it did not have the black patterns that the other black-robed man’s mask had. At this moment, he was carrying the black-robed man’s body and quietly heading toward the seaside.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Ding Ning pushed off with his feet and shot up like a hawk. The knife in his hand drew a silver arc as he slashed toward the black-robed man.

The black-robed man realized that something was wrong and no longer bothered to hide. His feet stepped through some mysterious paces and actually managed to dodge Ding Ning’s attack.

Ding Ning had attacked with rage, with a crack, the knife slashed a 2-meter large split into the earth.

The black-robed man was scared by the power of this attack and increased his speed. Streaks of shadow actually formed around his legs as he bounded toward the ocean.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Ding Ning struck empty air and was secretly shocked at the black-robed man’s incredible paces. With a roar, he struck out again and again toward the path the black-robed man was taking and forced him back.

Spiderweb like cracks sealed off the black-robed man’s escape and forced him to return to his starting position.

Although this took a long time to explain, it all happened in an instant. When they realized what was happening, Ye Duxing and Zhuo Bufan immediately closed in from the sides and sealed the black-robed man’s escape paths.

Ding Ning watched the black-robed man put down the body and raise his hands in surrender. Only then did he stop his attacks and asked in a cold voice, “Who are you?”

“How did you see me?”

The black-robed man replied with a question, he seemed shocked that Ding Ning was able to discover him but his voice was like that of the previous black-robed man, it was an electronic and synthesized sound.

“I am the one asking you, not you asking me.”

Ding Ning gripped the hilt of the handle tightly and asked impatiently.

“I, I am with him, of course.”

The black-robed man pointed steadily at the body and replied boldly and confidently.

Ding Ning’s expression grew stern. “Don’t obscure the situation. Speak, who are you both?”

“Silver warriors of the Descendants of God organization. If I am not mistaken, you’re the head of the Asian branch of the organization, right?”

Before the black-robed man replied, Ye Duxing slowly spoke.

“Descendants of God organization?”

Ding Ning frowned, was the mystic group that captured Luoxue and Ling Fei for experiments called the Descendants of God?”

The black-robed man did not seem surprised to be recognized by outsiders and proudly said, “You’re correct.”

“Haha, I’ve caught a big fish this time.”

Zhuo Bufan also seemed to know of the Descendants of God and joy appeared on his face.

Ding Ning wanted to ask whether the black-robed man was part of that mystic group but with Ye Duxing and Zhuo Bufan present, he wisely kept his mouth shut. He did not want to expose Luoxue and Ling Fei’s identities.

“Big fish? I am indeed a big fish but do you really think you can catch me?”

The black-robed man laughed coldly and fearlessly. He stretched his hand and took off his silver mask, turning it into a knife.

Everyone’s attention focused, thinking they would see the black-robed man’s true appearance but unexpectedly, the black-robed man wore a gold mask.

“Golden warrior?”

Zhuo Bufan’s expression was shocked and he gave a startled cry.

A powerful sense of danger came. Ding Ning’s heart tightened and he yelled in a loud voice, “Be careful!”

As he retreated rapidly, the knife in his hand drew a silvery arc in front of him to protect him.

The black-robed man smiled wickedly and threw down the silver mask in his hand. With a boom, thick smoke rolled out and spread through the air. Silver shrapnel flew like arrows in all directions.

Ye Duxing’s expression changed and she immediately pulled Zhuo Bufan behind him. The silvery shrapnel flew toward them with a terrifying whistle but they froze in the air thirty centimeters in front of his body, unable to move forward another step. It was as if an invisible net hung in front of his body.

Ding Ning glanced at Ning Ye in surprise. He had always thought that the pretty boy was not very powerful but now he knew he was mistaken. In the instant just before, the aura emanating from Ning Ye’s body made him feel fear.

After the thick smoke dissipated, the black-robed man had disappeared without a trace. The previous black-robed man’s body had been blown to smithereens and nothing was left of the body.

Even after Ding Ning activated his All-seeing Eye, he could not find any trace of him. He should have escaped into the sea.

“D*mn bast*rd, he even blew up the body.”

Zhuo Bufan cursed heatedly.

“Ah, my points are also gone.”

Ye Duxing sighed sadly and suddenly realized that she had spoken without thinking. Glancing at Ding Ning guiltily, she only stuck out her tongue and relaxed when she saw that he was not paying attention.

Ding Ning’s expression was not pleasant. The explosion from the silver mask was not able to harm him, and he had retreated because he was worried that there would be poison in the thick smoke. After all, the black-robed man’s attitude had been very confident earlier which made him believe he had something to rely on.

But now he knew he had been tricked by the black-robed man. He was just bluffing and creating an opportunity to escape.

What upset him the most was that the way that this black-robed man hid his tracks was too tricky. He could only see a blurry shadow after he opened his All-seeing Eye.

As the saying goes, one can only be a thief for a thousand days, one cannot guard against a thief for a thousand days. If he was targeted, his future would not be bright.

However, Ding Ning didn’t understand why the black-robed man’s body was so important that Zhuo Bufan and Ning Ye both wanted it and made the black-robed man enter a dangerous territory to steal it.

Seeming to see Ding Ning’s confusion, Zhuo Bufan smiled bitterly and explained, “These masked and black-robed people are all part of an organization calling itself the Descendant of God. They are split into different levels by their masks. From the lowest to the highest, there are iron, bronze, silver, gold, and purple gold to differentiate ranks. These members are all people with superpowers who have drunk genetic medicine. They pose a great threat to the entire world. Although the Bureau of Religions is an organization that manages and coordinates Ancient Warriors, we also have the responsibility of bringing down foreign forces particularly the Descendants of God. They do experiments on live humans to produce stable gene medicines and they raise members to be superpower warriors. It could be said that they are a public enemy.”

Zhuo Bufan sighed. “We want the black-robed man’s body because our country is also researching gene medication but we cannot do experiments on live humans, so we hope to study the bodies of the members of this wicked organization and thus discover genetic medicine that will assist in human evolution. However, the highest rank we’ve obtained previously was a body of the bronze, it was not very helpful to study. Silver warriors are considered mid-tier in the Descendants of God organization and are hidden deeply away. It is very difficult to catch one. We finally ran into one but the body was destroyed, ah!”

Ding Ning only understood now why the black-robed man took such a risk to destroy the body. They were worried that Shenzhou country would develop even more advanced genetic medicine from studying the body.

What made him curious was why Ning Ye wanted the body. Zhuo Bufan was a government official, regardless of whether it was for research or personal advancement, it was understandable that he wanted the body.

He immediately looked toward Ye Duxing with confusion. “Why do you want the body? Are you also a member of the Bureau of Religions?”

Zhuo Bufan also looked curiously at Ye Duxing. The Bureau of Religions was not that big but not that small either. As the deputy director of the Ninghai branch, his level of authority was not low. He knew just about all registered Ancient Warriors but he had no recollection of this mysterious Ning Ye at all so he was very curious as to Ning Ye’s identity.

“Me? I am a bounty hunter who specializes in killing members of the Descendant of God in exchange for large rewards.”

Ye Duxing spoke slowly without blushing.

Zhuo Bufan’s expression was confused. Bounty hunter? Did such people exist in Shenzhou?

However, Ding Ning’s eyes brightened. “How much is the reward? I might as well go hunt these people as well.”

Ye Duxing glanced at him. “Don’t even think about it. Don’t think you’re a bigshot just because you can defeat Long Xiaotian. The genetic warriors of the Descendants of God have a wide range of skills that make them impossible to defend effectively against. They cannot be measured using the ranks of Ancient Warriors. Some of the silver warriors are strong enough to be a threat to warriors in the Sky Martial Arts Realm. It’s best if you continue being a doctor.”
