It was a dark, quiet night, and two men, clad in all-black garments, were stealthily approaching with evil intent. The unsheathed machetes in their hands glimmered chillingly in the light from the road lamp, and their intentions were evident.
“Boss, this doesn’t feel right. Should we get out of here?”
A member of the Wild Wolf Mountain Motorsport race team whispered to Lei Shijian.
“Retreat your *ss!” Lei Shijian screamed as he gathered himself from the initial shock and smacked the back of the guy’s head. Then, he stared at Xiao Luo and roared, “Boy, do you think you could actually intimidate us by hiring some two-bit actors pretending to be assassins? You’re taking us too lightly. Jin Ying, Ku— I want you to go beat the hell out of those two*ssholes and don’t stop until they kneel before me and beg for my mercy.”
“Okay, boss!”
The two of them, burly men from the Wild Wolf Mountain Motorsport team, nodded and made their way to confront the two men in black, armed with their steel pipes. Confidently, they approached the black-clad men with a cocky swagger, twirling their pipes, and looking down their noses at their adversaries as if they had already beaten them.
At that moment, Lei Shijian was more concerned about dealing with the men in black than collecting the money from Xiao Luo, so he prioritized dealing with them first. “Huh, let’s see what kind of dirty tricks you’re pulling… this is f*cking interesting, I’ve heard of police impostors but never of assassin impostors!” he blustered.
“Bid farewell to your brothers, you might have just sent them off to a journey of no return,” Xiao Luo quipped.
These men in black garb were evidently professional assassins. They were armed, and the way they moved were portents of their evil intentions. Therefore, the order Lei Shijian gave to his brothers was as good as a death sentence. But Xiao Luo did not feel obligated to save these ignorant men who were destined to perish, for their lives had nothing to do with him.
Lei Shijian did not buy it, and he had already made up his mind that this was one of Xiao Luo’s tricks. “Yo, yo, yo… you’re a pretty good actor yourself. Keep playing, and let’s see how much time you can buy. Were the circumstances different, I would totally nominate you for the Oscars, what a waste,” he sneered.
Xiao Luo smiled and did not respond to his taunts.
The men in black garb started to increase their pace like a gust of wind, and strangely, they hardly made a sound even when they appeared to be quickening their steps. They moved in purposefully with murderous intent, machetes held firmly in their hands, and they seemed to be ready to strike at the two members of Lei Shijian’s team, Jin Ying and Ku.
The two Wild Wolf Mountain team members suddenly turned pale and trembled with fear. Before they could even react, they already felt that the machetes against their throats, and in the next instant, death had already befallen on them as the men in black raised their machetes sliced through the bodies of Jin Ying and Ku. With their synchronized and precise movements, the men in black appeared like a single assassin and his shadow.
Slash! Slash!
The bodies of Jin Ying and Ku members literally disintegrated in an eruption of blood and gore. Their torsos were split open and almost cut in two, and as the light left their eyes, their internal organs spilled out to the ground. It was a morbid scene as blood spurted copiously from open cuts and soaked the ground red.
“Gasp…!”
At the sight of the gruesome carnage, Lei Shijian, the Wild Wolf mountain gang, and Su Canye all choked, wide-eyed in fear, and their bodies started trembling uncontrollably. The two men were alive and kicking not moments ago, and just like that, they were now a heap of bloody flesh and body parts. It was a cruel way to die as the ground where their bodies lay was soaked and reeking with the thick scent of blood.
“Ahhhh… murder, murder… someone’s been killed!”
The stall owner fell to the ground in a panic, screaming in horror, then he scrambled up and bolted off without even bothering to close his stall.
Staring at the bodies, Su Canye also screamed aloud, but before he could even utter a word, he felt his body go cold and sensed a sourness at the back of his throat—then, without warning, a slurry of undigested rice-noodles and soup surged upward from his stomach, and he vomited the gruel right back into the bowl.
“B-boss, Jin Ying, Ku… they’re dead… cut in half!”
A member of the Wild Wolf Mountain Motorsport team whimpered in a tearful voice. What they had just witnessed was too much to bear, and they had mentally broken them from inside.
Lei Shijian was in a daze, and all he could do was to stare blankly at the bodies of his dead companions. He still couldn’t come to grips with the fact that they had perished right before his very eyes. They were still talking to him seconds before; how could they just die all of a sudden?
He could not accept the fact that they were dead.
He stared at the men in black and trembled…
“You were right when you said something about a pig on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered…” Xiao Luo mocked.
Xiao Luo then glanced at the two black-clad men who were staring at him with murderous intentions. Grabbing the side of the table with his right hand, Xiao Luo suddenly flung the square-shaped table at them. Even without using all his strength, the table flew, spinning at its intended target at great speed.
The two assailants in black stared but did not evade. Calmly they stood their ground and slashed at the table.
The table instantly broke into several pieces, and even the metal legs of the table were sliced cleanly in half.
“Try this!”
Xiao Luo jumped up and dashed to the stall, which was mounted on a trishaw, including a set of gas stoves, chopping boards, and other cooking items. Swiveling around, Xiao Luo kicked one side of the trishaw forcefully.
BANG!
The entire stall, weighing some one hundred kilograms, was sent sailing toward the assassins.
Oh, my gosh, is that even possible for a human do?
Every member of the Wild Wolf Mountain boys had their jaws dropped open and eyes wide, and they all stared at Xiao Luo in shock. In their eyes, he was now as terrifying as the assassins, for how can a human kick produce the force to send a stall flying like a car at a high-speed smashing into it?
Su Canye was equally stunned, and even though he had seen the monstrous side of Xiao Luo at the Star Cloud Kendo Gym, he still could not get used to it no matter how many times he saw it. Xiao Luo was simply terrifying.
As the stall flew at them like a meteor, the men in black again slashed in a synchronized pattern. Their swordsmanship was of the highest degree, and the stall was cut into pieces just like the table earlier.
When the assassins turned to attack Xiao Luo, they were taken by surprise, as he had dashed up like a streak of lightning, his palms raised for a strike.
Even as the two assassins were slashing downward with their machetes, Xiao Luo had already timed his attack, sending his palms were already thrust into their undefended chests, sending a flow of inner power surging through his opponents like waves of a raging tsunami.
BOOM! BOOM!
The men in black were thrown backward, sailing uncontrollably like broken kites and landed hard on the ground a few meters away. They instantly vomited blood, which soaked their black face masks.
“Who are you guys?”
Xiao Luo took a step forward, and, standing over their fallen bodies, he questioned them harshly.
The two of them looked terrified and nodded at each other, exchanging nervous glances. Suddenly, they took out two black balls that had a wrinkled surface.
Planning to escape?
Xiao Luo squinted his eyes and immediately moved in, but it was too late, for the men in black had already smashed the black balls into the ground.
BOOM!
There were two loud bangs, and instantly, two thick clouds of thick smoke filled the area and obscured its visibility. It was tear gas, and Xiao Luo was forced to leave the immediate area swiftly. When the smoke cleared, the men in black were nowhere to be seen.
