Chapter 700: Killing you
Where is that vile mortal?
How the h.e.l.l did he just vanish?
Curisa broke into a cold sweat as he hovered in the sky and scanned around for any signs of Xiao Luo, his body soaking in fear. He had launched himself in the air, ready to a.s.sault his opponent, but suddenly Xiao Luo was nowhere to be seen. Curisa had now exposed himself in the light, while his adversary hid in the darkness, ready to deal him a fatal blow.
“He’s above you!”
Ming’s piercing voice suddenly reached his ears.
Above me?
Curisa s.h.i.+vered and glanced up into the sky. And when he tossed his head back, he immediately saw two devilish red eyes, and he knew they belonged to Xiao Luo.
Two red beams shot from Xiao Luo’s eyes right onto Curisa, who didn’t even have the chance to react when Xiao Luo stretched his pale arm, and with fingers spread out, choked his throat like a steel clamp.
In the next second, a ferocious force surged through the hand, and Curisa could not resist it. Losing all control, he plummeted to the ground at tremendous speed.
BOOM!
Curisa slammed into the ground like a falling meteor and exploded on impact. The earth shook as a gigantic crater formed in the wetland park. Soil and dust rose in a swirling cloud, obscuring the view, and the ground continued to rumble.
Seeing the incredible scene unfold before their eyes, the police officers were all stunned. They felt a chill run from the top of his head to the bottom of their feet. Gripped in fear, they stood frozen in a stupor.
“Captain… Captain, have we been transported somehow to some strange fantasy world? Look at these guys—they are not ordinary people!”
“Oh, G.o.d. I’m terrified! They were floating in the air and slammed into the ground from such a height! Look at what they did to the park—the ground collapsed like a piece of paper! How could such a thing happen in this world?”
“Don’t say anymore, please, please… The more you say, the more frightened I am. I hope this is nothing more than a nightmare!”
The police officers were hiding in a corner and didn’t dare to show themselves. They couldn’t believe what they had witnessed, and their bodies were shaking in fear.
“R-report to HQ… Report to HQ, now! Hurry!” the senior police officer stammered anxiously.
“Captain, what are we going to report? Are we going to tell them two aliens are fighting and tearing up the wetland park? Will the authorities believe us?” a police officer said with a sheepish smile.
“So, what should we do? Just stand aside and watch?”
The senior police officer glared at him. “Whether or not HQ believes it, we still have to carry out our duty. Just report the situation to them now. It’s up to HQ if they want the military or the other national departments to handle it. It’s not our call.”
“Roger that.”
The police officer nodded stiffly and did as he was told.
…
…
Suddenly, a figure dashed out of the sandstorm toward the saber he dropped, now sticking in the ground. It was Curisa.
His entire body was soaked in blood and covered in a thick layer of dust. He was breathing with some difficulty, and his purple eyes stared cautiously at the rolling sand forming in front of him. Curisa was still in shock, for he never expected that Xiao Luo could beat him down from the sky and send him hurtling to the ground. It had taken every ounce of energy just for him to escape from the pit.
How did this happen?
What exactly happened with that mortal? How did his strength suddenly increase by so much?
Curisa’s eyes were filled with trepidation. He had never experienced such an embarra.s.sing situation before, even in the Arcana Land. Imagine his surprise, when he found himself thrashed badly by a mortal who grew up in this filthy world. To add to his confusion, this mortal was someone he had effortlessly dealt with before. The sudden transformation was unbelievable, and he could not accept it for a moment.
Vajra’s face was filled with shock. He was deeply shocked by the strength displayed by Xiao Luo. He was simply as strong as a Demon G.o.d.
Su Li gawked with her mouth open, and she struggled to believe what she saw. Was this her husband? Xiao Luo’s pupils had turned a blood-red hue, and his movements were terrifying and exceeded the ability of ordinary humans. This battle had changed her perception of the world around her.
“Curisa, take your blade!” Ming said with no expression on his face.
Take my blade?
Did he need to use his blade to deal with a mortal?
Curisa smiled bitterly. It was a huge blow to his ego. When he initially came to this world, he was supremely confident of his abilities, yet the first opponent he faced had now made a mockery of his reputation.
Curisa felt deeply troubled and found it difficult to accept.
When the dust settled, Xiao Luo emerged from the pit, at least two meters deep, and advanced in ominous steps. His blood-red eyes were like the eyes of a demon, and he emanated a bloodthirsty aura.
Seeing Xiao Luo striding toward him, Curisa s.h.i.+vered and abject fear replaced his earlier arrogance.
“Die… You…”
Xiao Luo was in an altered state—he appeared semi-consciousness and his malevolent smile was chilling. Curisa sensed Xiao Luo’s desire to kill him and it felt like a sharp sword unsheathed, piercing into his soul.
“You freak of nature!”
Curisa gathered his courage and paused to calm himself down. “I’ll split you in half! Harrghh!”
With a mad scowl on his face and roaring thunderously, he drew his blade from its sheath. After ten quick steps, he stomped his feet on the ground and shot into the sky.
Curisa streaked skyward like a stream of light in a split second, and it shocked everyone.
“I’ll send you to h.e.l.l!”
Bellowing with rage, Curisa gripped the handle of the sword tightly with both hands and swung down at Xiao Luo.
SWOOs.h.!.+
In a thundering blast, an invisible blade of energy cut through the void, sending winds gusting and kicking up a cloud of sand to cover the sky. The terrifying energy waves surged outward like a raging storm.
King Kong was lying on the ground and found himself blown away by the shock wave.
The police officers, taking cover a distance away, felt as if they were in the gale. They found it difficult to hold their position and stumbled backward.
Only the white-robed man, Ming, and Su Li were unaffected. The layer of silver light glowing around them blocked the energy storm, keeping them safe in their protective bubble.
Sand and dust swirled violently over a dark crack about two feet wide, gouged into the ground by Curisa’s sword. King Kong, Su Li, and the police officers were in shock. They couldn’t imagine how a single slash could cause a deep gash to appear on the ground.
Curisa fell back to the ground, panting. He did not know if he had killed Xiao Luo with his slash, though he was optimistic. When he slashed down, he was certain that Xiao Luo could not dodge his blow. Yes, he must have killed him. After all, he had used all his strength.
But against such an opponent, hope was not enough, and reality dealt him a cruel blow!
Just when Curisa thought he had killed Xiao Luo, his adversary emerged from the sandstorm and pounced on him in an instant.
“Urrgh!”
The claw pierced into Curisa’s chest and through his back like a sharp blade.
