Super Soldier

In this world, no one was invulnerable, unless he was a god. But White Hair was not a god. Comparing him with a god was like comparing the light given off by a firefly with that of the moon. His steel-like body was not unbreakable.

White Hair spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Gao Fei as he laid on the ground, “How…How can you break my defense so easily?”

Gao Fei looked at White Hair and said coldly, “You’re a master who focused on the cultivation of the physical body, and you are gifted in that matter. However, one cannot master Steel Body simply by advancing the level of martial arts. Normally when a man has reached the pinnacle of Clear-strength, he is only at the first level of Steel Body, which can greatly improve his body’s resistance. But that doesn’t mean he can’t be harmed.”

“A man who is endowed with a stronger body can reach the second level of Steel Body, which to some extent, can nullify the attacks of a blade. His body will be as hard as iron. He will be invincible among his peers.”

“Nearly no one has reached the third level. At least, not in the last decade because that would mean one can’t be harmed by blades or guns. His capacity to endure a beating will be much greater than Master who has merely reached the first two levels.”

“You’re good. Few men on earth can reach the second level and you are one of them. If you encountered an enemy who was at the middle stage of Gang-strength just like you, you would not be like this, because you are invincible among the masters who are as powerful as you. Unfortunately, you met me, who is stronger and better at killing.”

“But you should bear no regrets. Because you should be honored to know that there is one man who might reach that level, though there is still a long road ahead of him. When he reaches the middle stage of Gang-strength, he will be stronger than you and able to kill enemies who are at a higher level. Given enough time, he might truly be immortal.”

White Hair asked, “Who is he?”

“The one who only took two steps back after taking a blow from you. His name is Dumbass.”

“Him?” White Hair recalled and sighed, “But he’s still weak now. Otherwise, I’m really curious to know what the third level will be like.”

Gao Fei looked at White Hair and spoke, “We’ve said all we want. Are you ready for your death now?”

A handful of sand was thrown towards Gao Fei, and amidst that was a familiar figure coming towards him. White Hair was an experienced man. He could always remain calm under whatever circumstances. He could always fight back, which was the reason why he survived till today. Otherwise, he would have been killed a million times.

White Hair intended to blur Gao Fei’s vision with sand, so that he could kill Gao Fei. But Gao Fei closed his eyes and flung his hand, grabbing White Hair’s wrist and twisting it.

Gao Fei’s hands were small compared to White Hair’s stout arms, which were several times bigger than Gao Fei’s legs. But this tiny hand of his twisted his foe’s arms so easily and relentlessly. White Hair’s features twisted in pain and then he passed out.

Gao Fei dropped White Hair to the ground. White Hair was a top master who was at the middle stage of Gang-strength. He was one of the best on earth. With a single blow, he could destroy a tribe or even a small country. And yet he was so helpless when he was grasped by Gao Fei and tossed like a piece of waste.

While Gao Fei was about to end White Hair’s life, he heard heavy footsteps behind him. Gao Fei asked without even turning his head, “You’re okay now?”

“Yeah. I’m okay now.” Xiao Bing walked out of the woods and looked at White Hair, who was lying on the ground. “Don’t kill him yet. Let me have him.”

“As you wish, you’re the boss.”

Xiao Bing smiled, “Lil Bei and Miyamoto have killed their opponents.”

Gao Fei nodded, looking very indifferent.

“But their wounds are pretty serious. I’ve asked Dumbass and Hongyan to escort them out. The ambulance is on its way. I assume that they will have to stay in the hospital for some time.”

Gao Fei said, “Does that mean we can’t count on them to help us with the Long family?”

“Yes!” Xiao Bing sighed, “I had been expecting Mr. Buddha to send his men much later than this. But they came early, which totally upset my plan. But it doesn’t matter now. Come what they may. I’m prepared.”

“Good.” Then Gao Fei headed out. “I’ll leave this man with you now.”

Xiao Bing walked over to the unconscious White Hair. This man said that Lei Jun was killed by the followers of Buddhism. One reason why Xiao Bing let him live was that he wanted to confirm it with him.

Lei Jun was one of the top masters in Dragon Gate and the most important brother to Xiao Bing. Everyone in Dragon Gate respected Xiao Bing. That was why they all obeyed his orders. But nearly every one of them was eccentric in terms of temperament. Few men were his true friends. But Lei Jun was Xiao Bing’s most trusted brother.

Xiao Bing still remembered when he first saw Lei Jun–a god-like man who shouted his own name, “I’m Lei Jun, the Thunderbolt!”

The Thunderbolt was truly a widely-known name. He didn’t want to be a robber or a solider. He despised the scums in the Dark World. He admired the master in Luis Cha’s and Gu Long’s novels. They helped those who were bullied and punished the evil. That’s why the men he killed had all committed many evil deeds.

So when Xiao Bing was establishing the Dragon Gate, he invited Lei Jun. He just said a few words, “I’ll help you become a master who will eliminate all evil in this world.” The Thunderbolt agreed without saying a word because he finally found his place.

Xiao Bing still could not quite forget that this man, who stood six feet tall, used to jump up and down merrily like a child. He never expected this man to have such a cheery smile. Looks like others didn’t know he had the heart of a child.

The memories flooded him all at once. But if this White Hair was telling the truth, his memories would only be memories.

Xiao Bing broke White Hair’s legs and his other arm with an audible crack. No matter how powerful he was, he was no longer a threat since all his limbs were broken.

Xiao Bing grabbed the man’s hair and dragged him out of the woods.

White Hair regained his consciousness and found Xiao Bing dragging him by his hair. He growled and struggled, but it didn’t work.

Luckily, his skin was tough. Though he could never reach the third level of Steel Body, the hardness of his body was still superior to most cultivators. Though Gao Fei said that Dumbass might be able to step into the third level of Steel Body, he was actually only at the pinnacle of the first level. This meant he was still some distance behind White Hair.

For a master who focused on refining his body, the pinnacle of Concealing-strength was an evolution, so was the level of the innate. As for which level the third evolution would happen, no one was certain about that. What was certain was that when Dumbass reached the middle stage of Gang-strength, his body would be harder than White Hair’s. But if he could step into the third level of Steel Body? No one could be sure of the result.

White Hair opened his eyes wide in anger. The humiliation brought upon him was much more painful than the wounds on his body. To him, he would accept anything inflicted on him as long as it was Gao Fei who did it. But now he was in Xiao Bing’s hands. It was a great humiliation for him to be captured by a man who could easily be killed by him.

Xiao Bing noticed White Hair’s fury, but he just sneered, “You are a stubborn man.”

White Hair did not say anything. Xiao Bing suddenly loosened his grasp and stood before him. Xiao Bing looked at him and said, “I intended to bring you back and dig the answer out of you by torturing you. But you’re a tough guy. I don’t want to make it difficult for you now. So tell me, is Lei Jun really dead? Who killed him?”

Though the pain from his broken arms and legs was unbearable, his face didn’t show it. People might even believe that this man had no sense of touch. But only Xiao Bing knew that this man’s experiences had changed him. That was why Xiao Bing gave up the idea of taking this man back with him for interrogation.

White Hair did not intend to lie. “As soon as Mr. Dragon disappeared, some soldiers in Dragon Gate left. Lei Jun was fooled. He went to save his Mr. Dragon, only to fall into our trap. Feng XIII killed Lei Jun himself.”

A murderous intent flashed in Xiao Bing’s eyes. He etched this name in this mind and asked, “Is he also one of the eight Buddhist generals?”

“He is,” White Hair replied arrogantly, “Don’t think that the Buddhism would collapse after I die. No one can defeat the eight Buddhist generals. And no one on earth knows the true power Mr. Buddha holds.”

Xiao Bing nodded, “I’m sure you know it’s impossible for me to let you go. Before you die, can you tell me where your base is and how strong Mr. Buddha is?”

White Hair shut his mouth and fell silent.

Xiao Bing sighed, “Never mind. I suppose even if you were tortured in the worst way, you wouldn’t say a thing. So, I will kill you.”

A dagger appeared in Xiao Bing’s hand. As he was about to stick it into White Hair, he suddenly said, “Wait.”

Xiao Bing was a little surprised. There was no fear on White Hair’s face, only calmness. Xiao Bing was nonplussed. “You have something to say?”

White Hair grinned, “Before you kill me, I want to know your true identity.”

“Seriously. You grew suspicious after I asked so many questions? Alright, let me tell you then. My name is Xiao Bing. But I have a nickname which I guess all of you have heard of. Mr. Dragon, the former leader of Dragon Gate!”

A flash of understanding came across White Hair’s face, though he was still slightly confused. But he gave up asking and grinned, “I never imagined that I would meet the legendary Mr. Dragon before I die. I think I won’t have any regrets on the other side…”

Xiao Bing slit White Hair’s throat with the dagger. Blood began gushing out.

One slit and his life ended!
