Chapter 716: Albino Xu Cheng (Part One)
The old man picked a few green leaves and attacked Xu Cheng from behind like he was scattering flowers.
After the tardigrade genes were weakened in Xu Cheng’s body, many of his mutated abilities seem to become limited. He jumped only a few tens of meters into the air before he fell quickly, and it was fortunate that the cat’s gene for balance and his turtle shield was still there. Although the old man got to him fast, he was faster in activating the shield and protecting himself, so the leaves only cut through his clothes and not his flesh.
When he landed on the ground and launched himself up again, the old man grabbed onto his ankle in the air with one hand and dragged him down hard, smashing him onto the gra.s.s. Xu Cheng quickly got up and used Shadow Fist; the old man was amazed as they went on for eighty rounds before he slapped Xu Cheng in the abdomen, repelling him.
“Shadow Fist? Who is Zhang Chenfeng to you?”
Xu Cheng rubbed his aching abdomen, this old man seemed powerless, but his internal force was quite strong. When this old man hit Xu Cheng, although the turtle shield could block it, a strong internal force still ran through his various organs, and a tiny lack in attention would lead to Xu Cheng’s death.
“Do you know my master?” Xu Cheng didn’t expect this old man to know Zhang Chenfeng.
The old man: “If your master was still around, then maybe I wouldn’t dare to touch you. It seems that you must die, or else given a little more time, you’ll turn into the next Zhang Chenfeng. He protected Huaxia for several dozen years, and I didn’t expect him to have a close disciple. Well, he’d done his job well, having someone to take over after him.”
Xu Cheng was surprised by the old man’s words because from what he remembered, his master’s strength before he died was only at the SSS rank. Was it possible that he was even stronger during his prime?
“He will be buried at the National Martyrs’ Cemetery, but where will you be buried? In the soil of a foreign country?” Xu Cheng sneered.
“Are you referring to yourself?” The old man squinted his eyes and took a step towards Xu Cheng like a shadow. Xu Cheng reacted quickly and attacked back, but the old man blocked his attack in advance as he then kicked Xu Cheng’s chest with one foot.
Xu Cheng coughed out another mouthful of blood and kneeled down onto the ground. He tried to create an electric current with his hand, but for some reason, he couldn’t sense the electricity!
That was one of his greatest strengths, but now he wasn’t able to perform it?
The old man walked toward him slowly as he said, “You have three chances. Are you willing to compromise?”
Xu Cheng exhaled a breath. “Not just three times, even if it’s three hundred times, I’m not willing!”
The old man kicked Xu Cheng in the chin angrily the moment he said those words. Xu Cheng rolled onto his back with his eyes looking at the dark night sky, and a spurt of blood rushed out from his nose over his entire face.
The old man stomped on his abdomen and asked again, “Second time, are you willing?”
Xu Cheng’s bloodied face revealed a fierce smile. “You wish!”
With that, he punched with all the strength he could to almost 10,000 pounds, thinking that he might as well break the old man’s calves!

However, the old man’s hand grabbed a spot inside of his elbow joint.
“No matter how strong you are, the joint is like a strip that can be loosened, as long as I take control of this spot, it would be like swinging a nunchaku that will only fold and rebound to hurt itself.” The old man had the tone of an experienced person who looked at Xu Cheng with disdain. “Your experience is still too little, you really can’t compare with your master. Ask him to teach you well when you see him in h.e.l.l.”
Having said that, the old man raised an arm high up and looked at Xu Cheng as he asked again, “This is the last time; are you willing to compromise?”
Xu Cheng laughed lightly behind his b.l.o.o.d.y face. “How many times do you want my answer? If you like, don’t say three times, it’ll be the same even if you asked three hundred thousand times.”
Pang!
As soon as his voice fell, with a strong air flow, the old man struck Xu Cheng fiercely on his chest.
Pu!
A mouthful of black, dense blood spurted out directly from Xu Cheng’s mouth and nostrils.
The old man stared at Xu Cheng’s dying face with a furious expression as he said, “Don’t be stubborn. The rules of the world are like this, and everyone will have a weakness. You won’t compromise, right? If you don’t then I won’t let your woman get back to Huaxia safely. Whether you believe it or not, it’s way too easy for the Capital Society to intercept and a.s.sa.s.sinate someone at the airport. I’m going to ask you one last time for the sake of your woman’s life, are you willing to compromise?”
Xu Cheng’s pupils slightly dilated as he spurted out blood and roared, “You deserve to die!”
His whole body suddenly exploded with great power, the kind of power that was equivalent to the dying will of someone on the verge of death.
The old man didn’t think that mentioning his woman could stimulate him to explode with so much energy. He immediately balanced himself in the air and landed on the ground steadily.
Xu Cheng’s whole body and face were covered with blood, and he exhaled a ragged breath of anger.
“I told you, you have stepped over my boundaries once again, and touched the reverse scale of a dragon — you touch you die!”
The old man smiled. “If you are this afraid, then why are you still so stubborn? We are all from the same root, there is no need to kill each other so brutally in a foreign country.”
“I’m not a traitor and I don’t know any. If you want to kill all of us, then I will take you with me even if I die.” It was as if Xu Cheng had suddenly turned into a wild beast as he was unable to control the rattling genes in his bodies.
In the past, the tardigrade gene could block and isolate all kinds of genes from rejecting each other, but right now, without the Tardigrade gene, his body was heavily wounded, and his blood was mixed with all kinds of genes; all of these factors came together and exploded because of his worry for Lin Chuxue.
The old man was horrified to see Xu Cheng’s head of black silky hair turn gradually white, and it looked like it was suddenly bleached. Then, Xu Cheng’s face also completely lost blood, and it wasn’t the pale white, but it looked more like someone painted white paint all over his face. He looked strange and horrifying as his eyelashes, neck, and arms all turned white.
It was as if he had some complicated disease, giving him a sickly and unhealthy white appearance.
If a scientist who understood the genetic transformation of natural species was here, then he could only describe this phenomenon happening to Xu Cheng as albinism!
Once an albino was present in any animal, it was to be the king of that species!
Xu Cheng’s entire body turned white as he then raised his eyes, which were dark red and strangely dazzling under the dim street light.
He looked at the old man without any expression, and said in a hoa.r.s.e, emotionless voice, “I am now feeling at the peak of my power, shall we try again?”
The old man felt a slight pressure from Xu Cheng’s intimidating posture and aura.
