Holy Fist Chapter 52 – Chapter 52: 052 Entanglement

Chapter 52: 052 Entanglement
 

Bai Xiao's eyelids drooped, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Whoosh!

The next second, he vanished on the spot, his feet grinding against the concrete as he burst forward, his fist piercing towards the adversary like a lance.

Swish!

In the hallway, two robust figures collided in an instant.

The man didn't dodge or evade, taking Bai Xiao's punch head on. He chose the hardest tactic, returning with a punch aimed straight for Bai Xiao's vitals!

Ruthless and deadly.

It was unclear whether he had underestimated Bai Xiao's power,

or had utmost confidence in himself.

In that moment, Bai Xiao's eyes hardened and he decided not to hold back the 30% of strength he had been reserving, unleashing a full-force punch directly onto the man's chest! A full 200 kilograms of force that could send a punching bag flying poured out!

Bang!

The man's movements suddenly froze, his upper body tilting up as he let out a muffled grunt. His voice carried a hint of surprise, clearly not expecting Bai Xiao's punch to be so fierce. At the same time, Bai Xiao also looked puzzled; if it had been an ordinary person, they would have been spitting blood by now.

However, it was like the man wore a set of scale armor underneath his clothes, diminishing the impact of Bai Xiao's punch. The force was at least blocked by half, leaving the man only shaken.

Instantly, the eyes of both men became more serious, sensing the challenge in their opponent. Bai Xiao moved with springy steps, quickly assuming a boxer's stance, his eyes locked onto the man with the hood in front of him.

Whoosh!

With a sudden step forward!

Bai Xiao pressed in, his form slightly lowered, his center of gravity dropping. He then surged up violently, throwing a fierce uppercut!

Crack!

The hooded man threw a heavy punch in response, his arm unnaturally flexible and powerful, like a whip with the effect of a whip's tip. The two arms collided with a thud, and they instantly became embroiled in a fight.

Bang bang bang bang…

In the hallway, by the flower bed, the two were locked in a high-speed exchange of blows.

Moving swiftly, continuously punching and dodging, it looked like a fight between top-ranking boxers in a professional boxing ring, but appeared even more perilous, as neither wore gloves and both aimed for vital points!

With a whoosh, Bai Xiao threw a punch directly at the man's face, and the hooded man tilted back, dodging it. But with that large movement, Bai Xiao took the chance to throw another punch straight into the man's stomach! The hooded man's body shook, and two items he had kept in his pocket fell out.

Startled, he bent down to roll and pick them up. But Bai Xiao delivered a diagonal kick, more ferocious than his fist! The hooded man reacted promptly, blocking with his arms in front of his chest, and with a bang, he was sent flying backwards.

He rolled on the ground, leaped to his feet, then suddenly picked up speed. With his hands on a nearby bench, he vaulted over the barrier and flew five or six meters away, rushing past the fence.

With a swoosh, he vanished into the night.

Tap tap tap tap…

In the distance, numerous security personnel from the warehouse hurried over, but the man had already fled. What remained was the stunned Wei Dong and Bai Xiao, who was breathing heavily from the extensive exertion, along with two pharmaceuticals on the ground.

“Whew…”

Bai Xiao exhaled a breath of hot air, his eyes exceptionally bright, full of life. His mind still replayed the moment he had forced the hooded man to look up. The eyes peeking out from the edge of his mask were extremely cold-blooded, like a crawling python, devoid of any human emotion,

giving off a suffocating sensation akin to being enveloped by a giant python.

And yet, Bai Xiao wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

As the hooded man tilted his head, Bai Xiao seemed to see the skin on his neck coated with a layer of scales that glinted with a dark blue sheen.

“Such a hard body, could it be that layer of armor he's wearing?”

“Or could it be scales?!”

Bai Xiao raised his fists, and since he wasn't wearing boxing gloves, the four knuckles on his left fist were bright red, and the skin on his right fist had even cracked open and was bleeding.

Boxing gloves were not only for protecting the opponent, they also protected the hands of the striker.

Some fighters ended up with fractured fingers even when they inflicted injuries on their opponents.

But luckily, all he had suffered were some skin breaks and a little bleeding.

“Was he hesitating to strike because of this?” Bai Xiao slowly lowered his head and gazed at the two items on the ground amidst the disarrayed flower bed, a result of their brawl.

These were two glass vials of pharmaceutical, about as thick as a thumb.

Bai Xiao picked them up and took a glance.

Inside the glass bottles was a crystalline, translucent blue.

It was like a pure block of sapphire, clear and beautiful.

He stared at it a moment longer but suddenly noticed the blue of the pharmaceutical deepening rapidly, turning to dark blue in the blink of an eye.

It was like an unfathomably deep ocean trench, bringing a sense of pitch-black unknown.

In another blink, Bai Xiao seemed to hallucinate, as an eye suddenly seemed to push forward from the dark blue liquid in the glass bottle.

The eye of a fish, enormous, horrifying, and bizarre!

Startled, he was about to throw away the pharmaceutical in his hand.

“Xiaozi, Xiaozi? Xiaozi…”

“Are you hurt?”

Wei Dong's voice gradually shifted from blurry to clear beside his ear, and Bai Xiao slowly came back to his senses, his brow furrowed tight. He looked again at the pharmaceutical in his hand, and there were no anomalies—no change in color, no eyes. Bai Xiao took a deep breath; he seemed to have experienced a hallucination.

“Brother Dong, I'm fine.”

Bai Xiao turned his head and spoke to Wei Dong, who was approaching him.

“Aren't your hands injured? The company has an infirmary, I'll take you there to bandage it up,” Wei Dong said quickly, looking at Bai Xiao's right fist.

Fifteen minutes later, Wei Nan Biotechnology Company, Infirmary.

The torn skin on Bai Xiao's right hand had been disinfected and was not wrapped in bandages but covered with several simple adhesive bandages. He sat on a metal chair in the corridor, still reflecting on what had just happened.

Stealing pharmaceuticals, snake-like cold eyes, something that seemed to be Armor or scales covering a body, pharmaceuticals that induced hallucinations…

“Deep Sea Number Two?”

Bai Xiao still remembered the shouts of the staff.

“Wei Nan, Wei Dong's dad, who founded this biotechnology company…”

“What on earth do they do?”

As he pondered in silence, footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Bai Xiao was not seriously hurt, so after Wei Dong had taken care of the situation, he made a phone call to his dad. He must have finished talking and was coming back now.

As expected, Wei Dong's figure appeared, hastening towards him.

“Xiaozi, thanks to you, the two latest pharmaceuticals that were lost from the lab have been found. My dad asked me to thank you properly, thank you so much!”

Wei Dong expressed his gratitude to Bai Xiao with a serious face.

However, at that moment, Bai Xiao asked another question.

“Brother Dong, what exactly does your dad's company do?”
