X-ray Eyes Little Wild Doctor-Chapter 148 - 143: Red Flag Steel Factory

"What’s there to be afraid of? You’re bound to lose anyway." Zhang Tian said arrogantly, "If I win, Liuli Bar has to shut down for good, never to reopen. How about that?"

"Of course, it’s fine. You’re the one who’s definitely going to lose. But dare you make your demands even more outrageous, hehe." Ye Tian said indifferently.

Ye Tian’s relaxed expression made Zhang Tian doubt, this guy seemed to be fully confident. He didn’t even bother to negotiate terms—was there a trick up his sleeve?

So, he asked back, "And what if you win?"

"Hehe, winning is a must, as for how to deal with you, I haven’t thought it through yet, I’ll let the maid tell you, I can’t be bothered to think about it." Ye Tian remarked casually.

Ye Tian didn’t want to consider Zhang Tian too much, finding him not even worth killing.

Wang Bingbing immediately stood up and sneered, "If you lose, you’ll have to kowtow and admit your mistake. Not just that, you’ll also have to leave Wang Qian immediately and leave Jiangcheng City."

Zhang Tian was not weak and was one of the strongest under Wang Qian. To drive him away would be akin to cutting off Wang Qian’s arm, a chance to weaken Wang Qian—naturally, Wang Bingbing wouldn’t let it pass.

Zhang Tian burst into laughter, saying arrogantly, "What a joke, as if you’re guaranteed to win. Hmph, today I’ll show you the power of Taekwondo."

He walked in front of Ye Tian, took a horse stance with his legs, clenched his fists, and assumed the posture of Taekwondo.

Towering over Ye Tian by a head, Zhang Tian had a commanding presence as he stood opposite him.

Ye Tian smiled wickedly, "In all these years, you’re the first one daring enough to show off in front of me."

"You insignificant brat, cut the crap. I’ll break your legs first and see if you continue to be arrogant!"

Zhang Tian shouted, exuding the aura of a Taekwondo champion, and threw a sidekick at Ye Tian’s face with his right foot.

The kick was swift and powerful, and Ye Tian, seeing this, nodded in satisfaction. It seemed the opponent was no pushover, which made things interesting.

"Good, but it’s a pity it’s just a pillow with embroidered flowers—good looking but useless." Ye Tian said with a grin.

As he spoke, he swiftly sidestepped, taking a Bagua step, dodging the sidekick. Moving to the southeast direction of the Bagua, his body moved like a swimming dragon as he effortlessly closed in on Zhang Tian for close combat.

Bagua palm, also known as Bagua roaming body palm, is a traditional Chinese palm technique centered on palm changes and stepping maneuvers, tracing back to the Qing Dynasty, venerable and powerful.

This technique excels in close-quarters combat. Ye Tian’s palms danced, launching straight, vertical, and downward palm strikes, stepping through the directions of the Bagua, and after a round of bombardment, Zhang Tian could no longer withstand it.

"Chinese martial arts are vast and profound, not something a frog in a well like you could fathom. Take this palm strike!"

Ye Tian stepped in a circle, distracting his opponent with a turn, then like a dragon, he circled to the back and struck with a Bagua Chopping Palm, hammering fiercely into Zhang Tian’s back.

Bagua Chopping Palm, also known as Bagua Chopping Fist, is one of the most powerful techniques within Bagua palm, capable of splitting stones, let alone the flesh and blood of Zhang Tian, who would be severely injured even if made of iron and copper.

With a loud bang, Zhang Tian was sent flying, crashing into a solid wood table at the bar, shattering it along with the glass beneath him.

"Hehe, remember this, that’s the price for insulting Chinese martial arts." Ye Tian said relaxedly, offering a warning.

Zhang Tian’s followers rushed to help him, but he screamed, "Don’t touch me, my bones are broken! Call 120 quickly!"

Watching his followers frantically call for emergency services, Wang Bingbing couldn’t contain her elation; she hopped joyfully towards Ye Tian, giving him a thumbs-up: "Impressive!"

"It’s nothing, just squashing a cockroach." Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders, dealing with such small fry didn’t even require him to exert a fraction of his power.

At that moment, a thud was heard as Liu Qiang knelt heavily before Ye Tian, his hands pressed together in prayer, bowing earnestly, "Big brother, your kung fu is too strong, you’re even better than my master at Bagua palm, please take me as your disciple, I’ll study hard."

It turns out Liu Qiang was there to seek a master. Ye Tian was both amused and helpless. It was no one’s fault but his own for displaying such formidable martial arts.

Ye Tian’s display of authentic Bagua palm was all seen by Liu Qiang, who had practiced it for over ten years, thinking he had mastered its intricacies. Yet, it took Ye Tian to show him there’s always someone better.

The essence of this palm technique is its flexibility and continuous movement, as the palm follows the step. Ye Tian not only executed it flawlessly but with consummate skill, truly at a grandmaster level.

"Hehe, I have no plans of taking disciples. You should seek another master." Ye Tian rejected him straightaway, having never intended to take on disciples.

He turned to Wang Bingbing and said, "How’s the matter I asked you to handle? Let’s find a place to talk about it."

"There are too many eavesdroppers here, let’s talk inside," Wang Bingbing suggested.

Liu Qiang knew better and gave up the idea of asking to become an apprentice. He could tell Ye Tian was someone extraordinary, seeing that even the queen herself treated him with great respect. How could such a person be ordinary?

The two went up to a private room on the second floor. Wang Bingbing closed the door, and the room immediately fell silent.

"So tell me, where exactly is the Fire Virtue Gang’s lair? How are the things I asked you to do coming along?" Ye Tian sat on the sofa and asked.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already found out everything about the Fire Virtue Gang. I can tell you their secrets, but you have to do me a favor, too. Otherwise, it’s too unfair to me," Wang Bingbing said, "As you saw, I’m like a clay Buddha crossing a river—I can hardly protect myself."

Ye Tian frowned instantly.

He thought, Xinyan, you’re learning bad habits, even trying to deal with me now. It looks like you need some more training; otherwise, always trying to play games with me isn’t a good thing.

"What if I refuse?" Ye Tan sneered.

"Whether you agree is your business, and telling you is my business," Wang Bingbing puffed up her chest, word by word, "I’m really in trouble now, and you’re the only one in Jiangcheng who can help me. If I go down, you won’t benefit either, right?"

She added, "As long as I’m safe and sound, aren’t you confident your issues will be solved?"

"You dare to threaten me?" Ye Tian sneered.

"I’m not threatening you, I’m begging you," Wang Bingbing said, "I don’t want to keep you in the dark, that bastard Wang Qian has been causing me trouble recently, and my strength has greatly declined. If it hadn’t been for that, I would have already found the King of Hell for you."

Looking at Wang Bingbing’s miserable expression, Ye Tian pondered. This girl didn’t seem to be lying.

Moreover, Ye Tian had just seen Zhang Tian, clearly here to cause trouble for Wang Bingbing. The Glazed Bar was Wang Bingbing’s den, and for Zhang Tian to dare cause a scene there revealed a lot.

This indicated that the young maid’s days weren’t going well, and that person called Wang Qian must be causing her a lot of trouble.

In Jiangcheng, Ye Tian had no relatives or friends, and many matters still required Wang Bingbing’s assistance, such as seeking the King of Hell, which definitely required the use of Wang Bingbing’s influence.

Without finding the King of Hell, he wouldn’t be able to get the antidote, and Yun Xinyan would indeed be in danger.

Looking at the current situation, Ye Tian and Wang Bingbing were in the same boat, sharing both honor and disgrace. If Wang Bingbing really encountered any misfortune, Ye Tian was sure to get no benefits.

"I can help you, but on one condition—you must listen to me obediently, understand?" Ye Tian said.

"I understand, I’ll listen to everything you say," Wang Bingbing was overjoyed. With the help of such a skilled person, the crisis at hand would surely be resolved.

Smack smack! Ye Tian patted Wang Bingbing’s bottom twice, grinning mischievously, "If you dare not listen, I will spank you just like this—got it?"

"Uh..." Wang Bingbing’s face was full of grievance as she rubbed her bottom.

"Alright, let’s talk about the Fire Virtue Gang," Ye Tian returned to the matter at hand, as he had come to see Wang Bingbing specifically for the Fire Virtue Gang.

The Fire Virtue Gang had deep ties with the King of Hell, and Ye Tian hoped to find the overseer through them, hence obtaining the antidote for the Peony Flower Poison.

Although he had sealed the poison within Yun Xinyan’s body with the Ghost God Nine Rotations, things were currently stable, but Ye Tian could not be sure how long this stability would last—the Peony Flower Poison was, after all, unparalleled and unmatched.

"Wait a moment, I will show you something that will make things clear," Wang Bingbing said, reaching for her phone, her slender fingers swiftly swiping across the screen. Soon, she found something and handed it to Ye Tian, saying, "Take a look at this."

Ye Tian took her phone, and the screen displayed a map with a certain secluded location in the suburbs marked, labeled with ’Red Flag Steel Factory.’

"The steel factory?" Ye Tian murmured to himself, a peculiar gleam flickering in his eyes, "As far as I know, that factory has been abandoned for a long time. I hadn’t expected it to become the Fire Virtue Gang’s nest, heh. That place is lawless territory, a criminal’s paradise. Things are getting more and more interesting."

"That’s right, they’re at the Red Flag Steel Factory. Do you want me to send someone with you?" Wang Bingbing said.

Now that they had formed an alliance, Wang Bingbing’s move was clearly a gesture of goodwill, aiming to close the distance with Ye Tian and foster their relationship for the future.

"Those underlings of yours? I’d rather not. I don’t want to burden myself with dead weight," Ye Tian replied, transferring the map data to his own phone, then headed out the door.

"When will you come back and help me with my problems?" Wang Bingbing followed him out.

Wang Qian was watching her closely, constantly sending people to trouble her. Zhang Tian was just the visible threat; who knows how many professional assassins were lurking in the dark? Wang Bingbing was genuinely scared now; without a skilled protector by her side, her very life was in jeopardy.

"Your issues aren’t urgent. We’ll discuss them later," Ye Tian tossed back these words and exited the Glazed Bar.

However, considering Wang Bingbing’s personal safety, he still sent her a number, "If you really run into an emergency, call this number, and someone will naturally come to protect you."
