Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 3229

A few of the jade needles were deflected and shot back toward Aelion. With a swift motion of his white cloak, the needles vanished from sight. In the next instant, Mortimer launched himself toward Aelion, throwing a powerful punch. Aelion took a step back, his figure ghostly and elusive, as his delicate hand reached for Mortimer's wrist.

Aelion's expression suddenly changed as he was forced to retreat several steps to neutralize the overwhelming force from Mortimer.

"Impressive technique."

"Impressive agility."

The two exchanged compliments before their black and white figures clashed again. Aelion's movements were as swift and unpredictable as a phantom, making it difficult for Mortimer to land a hit.

Suddenly, Aelion struck with a punch aimed at Mortimer's back. Mortimer reacted just in time, stepping forward and turning to meet the attack with his own punch. Their fists collided, but Mortimer's face paled as he felt his right hand go limp from the impact.

"Your skills are remarkable, but I'm not at my best today. We'll continue this another time," Mortimer said, turning to leave. But Aelion wasn't about to let him escape. He closed in swiftly, his white cloak swirling as dozens of jade needles shot toward Mortimer.

Hearing the whistling sound of the needles cutting through the air, Mortimer grabbed Kurtis' body, using it as a shield while spinning rapidly. Kurtis' body was instantly riddled with holes, blood gushing out. As Mortimer defended himself, Aelion appeared right in front of him again.

Another punch was thrown, and Mortimer, gritting his teeth, was forced to use his left hand to block. The crisp sound of bones snapping echoed as Mortimer's face turned pale. He leaped onto the wall, glaring at Aelion.

"Don't burn your bridges, Tarian. I, Mortimer Zedler, will remember this fight!" he spat, before retreating into the night.

Aelion didn't immediately pursue him. Instead, he stood still in the residence. "Mortimer Zedler..." he murmured, committing the name to memory. He would have someone investigate the man and uncover his identity. Despite being old enough to be considered ancient, Aelion was out of touch with the world outside and hadn't even heard of Mortimer before this encounter.
