Chapter 503 - Beast
Chapter 503: Beast
Guan Tong had suffered comminuted fractures, injuries to every internal organ and was bleeding severely internally. Although Xiao Luo was a gifted doctor, he could do nothing to heal Guan Tong. He forced himself to calm down and asked, “Who pushed you down?”
“It’s Qiu…Qiu Yuanjie’s people. They brought me here and claimed that there’s a good view. These bastards ended up pushing me from above, cough, cough…” Although Guan Tong was coughing copious amounts of blood and looking pale, he was still smiling at Xiao Luo and seemed fearless as he stood at death’s door.
“Qiu Yuanjie?”
Xiao Luo was utterly shocked when he heard that name.
Tears streamed down from Guan Tong’s cheek, and he forced a wry smile. “F*ck, I finally got it now, he… he is the Fog. He had always used his identity as the police to cover himself as he planned all the MLM activities behind the scene. I h-have fallen into his trap. He told me to transfer all the money to the police account… I doubt that account belongs to the police. Damn it, that goddamn son of a b*tch…”
As he finished speaking, the smile disappeared from his face and was replaced by a twisted grimace as he clenched his teeth in anger and agony.
He grabbed Xiao Luo’s arm and said, “Xiao Luo, do me a… no, you must get him! Expose him to the police; they must find out Qiu Yuanjie’s true identity. He is the Fog, the mastermind behind all these MLM activities…!”
His last words were hissed out in spite before another massive gush of blood streamed from his mouth and nose. He had finally lost consciousness and died in Xiao Luo’s arms. However, his hands were still grabbing onto Xiao Luo’s arm, and his fingers were dug deeply into Xiao Luo’s flesh.
“Guan Tong, Guan Tong!”
Xiao Luo called out, but the body lying in his arms could no longer respond to him. He stared at Guan Tong’s lifeless face and felt an emptiness. He felt that familiar wetness in his nostrils, and his eyes turned red.
An old friend who was very close to him died in his arms, and it hurt that Xiao Luo had suspected him of being the mastermind behind the MLM scams. Xiao Luo was engulfed in an indescribable vortex of emotions—he felt sadness, remorse, anger. No words could accurately sum up Xiao Luo’s feelings at that moment.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
He took his pocket out, and it was none other than Qiu Yuanjie.
Qiu Yuanjie’s voice came through in a clear voice. It was not the usual righteous and manly voice, but a cynical voice with mocking laughter. “Mr. Xiao, have you met your old friend, Guan Tong? Or, let me make a bold guess, he’s turned into a cold corpse, right?” he sneered.
Xiao Luo’s eyes were cold with fury. “Qiu Yuanjie, I promise that you would not make it past midnight!” he cried.
Xiao Luo uttered every word with murderous rage and vengeance. He looked forward to the moment that he could skin Qiu Yuanjie alive.
“Haha, haha…”
Qiu Yuanjie started laughing out loud as if he had heard a funny joke, then he snapped, “Do you think you can come back alive from Wild Wolf Mountain?”
As he spoke, Xiao Luo heard the roar of an engine and saw a car screeching down the road from above. Within moments, a black Volkswagen stopped before Xiao Luo at a distance of a dozen meters. Its car plate was Shanghai N0926. When the door opened, two middle-aged men with grim faces emerged from it. They emanated strong signals of killing intent, and each of them was armed with a black samurai sword.
“Do you remember Asou Yanagi from the Star Cloud Kendo Gym? You’ve already had a taste of his God Slaying Sword Techniques—they aren’t too bad, right? I am telling you that Asou Yanagi is not even one of the top thirty swordsmen in the Asou family. As for the guys before you, they are amongst the top ten. Now, you can taste the fear of death. Haha, haha…”
Qiu Yuanjie laughed insanely. “After today, Guan Tong will become my scapegoat and will have to honor of being identified as ‘Fog,’ the mastermind of the MLM activities. As for you, you will be recognized as a brave NSA warrior who risked his life, stopping Fog as he was about to escape from Wild Wolf Mountain. To guarantee the success of the mission, you sacrificed yourself and perished together with Fog. You will become a martyr, leaving your good name in the NSA memorial forever, haha, haha…”
Xiao Luo hung up.
He pried Guan tong’s hand from his arm and stood up slowly. A breeze blew, and his fringe tussled lightly, then an overwhelming killing intent started to radiate outward from his body like a wildfire. His clear eyes turned into the eyes of a beast, bloodshot with madness, and he did not resemble a human anymore.
All human emotions had left him—he had become blood-thirsty and murderous!
The two middle-aged men were slightly stunned, and a shiver ran down their spines. They looked at each other and saw fear and confusion in the other’s eyes. They braced themselves to go up against Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo strode out toward them slowly, and with every step, his killing intent became heightened and more overwhelming, like a hungry beast that had just awoken from a long slumber.
One of the men tried to regain his composure and moved forward as he unsheathed his samurai sword, slashing at Xiao Luo fiercely.
SLASH~
A fifteen-meter long slash cut through the sky like a rainbow of light, directed at Xiao Luo like the sword of Damocles. The slashing of his sword blew a massive blast of energy on the road surface, and an invisible force raged toward Xiao Luo like a tsunami.
It was the most potent manifestation of the God-Slaying technique – Raigeki!
By channeling their inner power through the samurai sword, the slash took the form of an invincible blade of light, and its strength could only be compared to divine punishment. A bus would be cleanly cut in half by this slash, let alone mortal flesh.
However, as the slash was about to hit Xiao Luo, he activated his inner power, and a black and red barrier immediately formed to shield his entire body.
BOOM!
The slash had met with the barrier, and a tremendous explosion resulted, sending shockwaves across the surrounding. The ground started to crumble, and even the tall mountain shook as countless rocks rolled off its side, causing a huge cloud of dust and sand to form.
After the dust settled, Xiao Luo saw a visible rift gouged on the road with cracks extending like a spider’s web.
But Xiao Luo was unharmed and still walking toward them steadily.
The middle-aged man who slashed at him was shocked and spoke in Japanese, “Impossible!”
His compatriot was equally stunned. That was the invincible God-slaying Sword technique that had never once disappoint them. But this enemy did not even make an effort to retaliate and was only taking the body blows, yet he seemed unaffected. It was unbelievable.
They looked at each other in their eyes and then shouted, “Kill!” Then, together they charged at Xiao Luo. They became one with their swords and struck at Xiao Luo like two bolts of lightning.
WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~
They were as swift as the wind, and their swords were howling like a gale. The cold ray that flashed from their swords traveled the distance and stabbed at Xiao Luo’s chest.
BOOM!
The red barrier re-appeared like an invisible force field around Xiao Luo and instantly stopped the samurai swords. The cold rays were neutralized by the force field and dissipated into thin air.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
The two middle-aged men were horrified as their swords cracked right before their eyes. Their samurai swords, made of hardened forged steel, shattered bit by bit, starting from their tips until it reached the hilt of their swords.
