Chapter 604: Leave Calmly
Asou Jiro and the woman instantly felt the overpowering aura from Xiao Luo. Without waiting for another second, Asou Jiro roared and made his move.
“Die!” he bellowed.
His voice reverberated across the room as he leaped at Xiao Luo. The intent to kill was clear on his face, and he pounced toward his opponent like a predator striking its prey.
Xiao Luo was well-prepared to meet Asou Jiro head-on. In a split second, he generated an immense force within his body and channeled a surge of energy to his hand. He thrust his palm toward Asou Jiro, who was about to deliver his strike.
“HIYAH!”
Xiao Luo roared as he released his inner force, sending out a surge of devastating energy through the room. So overpowering that it felt like a raging sea. Asou Jiro received the full force of the energy and hurled him violently against a wall. The impact knocked him back and sent him sprawling on the floor, coughing out a copious amount of blood. The force also threw the skimpily clad woman off her feet and she landed on the far side of the room.
The wave of energy knocked down all the other objects in the bedroom, and in a blink of an eye, the entire place was in a wreck.
Xiao Luo laughed maniacally and slowly advanced on Asou Jiro.
Xiao Luo’s laugh terrified the woman, but she was unflinchingly loyal to Asou Jiro. She took a deep breath and gathered her courage, gritted her teeth, then charged toward Xiao Luo like a hound protecting her young.
THWACK!
Xiao Luo did not even attempt to look at her. His hand lashed out and slapped her across her face. The woman spun around twice before falling and hitting her head on the floor. She immediately lost consciousness, and it was over in a flash.
Xiao Luo continued toward Asou Jiro and stood in front of him. The man was in severe pain, with blood dripping from his nose and mouth. Xiao Luo stared down at his enemy, like a hunter eyeing his prey as it struggled to stay alive.
“You… Just who in the world are you?”
Asou Jiro asked with a horrified expression. He did not even land a single blow on this stranger standing in front of him. Asou Jiro had never faced such a formidable opponent before in his life—he was simply frightening.
Xiao Luo stepped on his chest and went straight to the point. “Are all the recent cases of the missing Hua Nation citizens related to your family?” he asked.
With Xiao Luo’s foot on his chest, Asou Jiro felt humiliated and angry. But his opponent was just too strong, and there was nothing he could do.
“Are you from the Hua Nation?”
“Urghh!”
Xiao Luo increased the pressure on his foot, and more blood started flowing from Asou Jiro’s mouth. It felt like all his internal organs were being churned, and the pain was unbearable.
“Answer my question!” Xiao Luo snapped.
“The Asou family would never do anything as shameless as this,” Asou Jiro retorted.
“Asou Jiro, you sure are contradicting yourself with what you just said.”
Xiao Luo mocked Asou Jiro and said, “You have sent your people to the Hua Nation to carry out MLM activities. And you’ve even invested in SOD to film p.o.r.nographic films with the sole purpose of ruining the physical and mental health of the Hua Nation’s teenagers. Aren’t these two activities shameless enough for you?”
With the cat let out of the bag, the color on Asou Jiro’s face changed, and his eyes glanced around s.h.i.+ftily.
“Let us change the way we communicate,” said Xiao Luo, as he squinted his eyes and gave Asou Jiro a playful smile.
Within moments, he put Asou Jiro under hypnosis. After getting hypnotized, Asou Jiro was in a semi-conscious state.
But the outcome disappointed Xiao Luo. The Asou family was not the culprit behind the disappearances of the Hua Nation people, and they were not even linked. Neither were they involved in any experiments involving genetically mutated human beings. However, it was time to settle the score on behalf of his deceased cla.s.smate Guan Tong, who died at the hands of the Asou family. Xiao Luo was already here, and he would not waste such an opportunity and let them off that easily.
“I’ll avenge you, my old friend, with interest,” Xiao Luo muttered a tribute to his dead friend.
There was no emotion on Xiao Luo’s face. As soon as he finished his sentence, he lifted his foot and stomped on Asou Jiro between his legs.
“AARGH!”
Asou Jiro howled like a wolf in the middle of the night, breaking the silence around the entire villa. Xiao Luo had smashed his t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es, ensuring that he’d never be able to touch a girl again. The pain was excruciating and far more painful than a woman going through labor. Veins in Asou Jiro’s forehead bulged and his face turned as red as beetroot. And so intense was the pain that he pa.s.sed out right away.
After finis.h.i.+ng the job, Xiao Luo left the way he came and leaped off the balcony.
Outside the villa, more than a dozen men were standing there waiting for him. They were dressed in black samurai suits and wielding their long swords. The warriors from the Asou family had just arrived. Asou Yanagi was staring at Xiao Luo as he limped from behind the row of warriors.
Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows as he had not expected Asou Yanagi to regain consciousness that quickly. And now, he had gathered all the strongest warriors of the Asou family.
“Jiro-kun must be dead. Quick! Take him down and slice him to pieces!” yelled Asou Yanagi as he pointed at Xiao Luo.
Swoosh~
The samurais unsheathed their swords in unison, ready to battle the intruder. The atmosphere was tense and the situation dangerous.
Members of the Asou family were trained in a fighting style known as the “G.o.d Slayer” technique. There were ten forms, and each was progressively stronger than the other. Some say that this technique was so formidable, it could even kill the G.o.ds. The warriors charged toward Xiao Luo, like a pack of hungry wolves baying for blood, advancing in synchronized steps.
But they soon realized that their quarry was not an easy target.
Xiao Luo moved with lightning speed and left a faint trail of afterimages with each step he took. It was like something out of a movie. His movements looked simple and easy, but he zipped his way through their lines with no resistance. He paused briefly each time he pa.s.sed one of his opponents, and his Phantom’s Claw tore their flesh apart.
In less than two minutes, all the Asou family warriors were lying on the ground. Some were groaning in pain. Some had suffered crushed shoulders and broken wrists. Others sustained an even worse injury—slashed in the chest and lying in a pool of blood with the bones slightly visible.
“Gulp!”
Asou Yanagi struggled to swallow his saliva. Cold sweat covered his entire body, and his eyes were wide open in fear as he witnessed the scene.
How did this happen?
It seems like this guy had become extremely strong. These were the warriors of the Asou family, and yet they appeared so vulnerable. They could not even harm a single hair on his head.
Xiao Luo looked at Asou Yanagi with a smile and said, “What did you mean by inheriting the will of the Emperor? Is this all the Asou family is capable of? You are nothing but clowns. Do you still think you can shake the foundation of the Hua Nation? Stop daydreaming!” He then turned around and walked away. After a few steps, he stopped and turned his head around. “Oh, by the way. When Asou Jiro wakes up later, please tell him this: if the Asou family ever tries to harm the Hua Nation again—then you can forget about existing in this world ever again. I’ll make sure I pay you guys another visit and slaughter all of you.”
Though Xiao Luo spoke in a relaxed tone, his threat clearly expressed his murderous intent. Facing such a formidable monster who single-handedly overpowered the warriors of the Asou family, Asou Yanagi lost his courage.
…
By the time Xiao Luo left, the sky was dark. He casually walked along the cobbled path of Lotus Manor and headed for the exit.
He now confirmed that it was not the Asou family that was behind the abductions. So, exactly which organization in Ri nation was behind this?
The question kept lingering in his head as he walked past the pavilion he had visited earlier. A scene was being filmed and he could hear the moaning coming from inside.
“What a perverted nation!”
Xiao Luo said in disgust. As he recalled what Zhang Dashan had said, he could only agree. He detected a familiar smell and was so disgusted that it was enough to make him puke.
