Chapter 769: You Can’t Catch Up to Me
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Luo pulled the dagger out of Silver Dragon’s chest and repeatedly stabbed his belly. It all happened within seconds.
“Gulp!”
The Duck Emperor swallowed with much difficulty. Xiao Luo had worn a poker face all along. Then without warning, he killed that man as if he was killing livestock. Xiao Luo’s ruthlessness and his ability to kill with no remorse frightened Duck Emperor.
“You…”
Blood flowed from Silver Dragon’s nose and mouth. He looked at Xiao Luo in shock. He had never thought he would die that way. He was being stabbed to death by a hunter who was only a Martial Master, while he was a Martial Lord, three levels above Martial Master. How was the guy able to kill him? The guy dared to attack him!
A chilling light flashed in Xiao Luo’s eyes. He slashed the dagger across Silver Dragon’s neck like a sword.
SLASH!
With one quick move, Silver Dragon’s throat was slit open. Even a Martial Lord with strong vitality could no longer hold on to his life with his throat cut. The large muscular man fell backward with an upright posture. Thud! Dust stirred from the ground when he collapsed in a heap. Silver Dragon laid still with his eyes wide open.
It only took several seconds from the moment Xiao Luo stabbed Silver Dragon to the time he laid dead on the ground.
The mercenaries realized Xiao Luo had killed their leader when they saw Silver Dragon fall to the ground. Their happy faces instantly froze. They gazed in shock at his bloody lifeless body, unable to believe what they saw. Who could have believed their leader, who had been so full of vigor only moments ago, was lying dead in a pool of blood?
“Lil’ Luoluo…”
Ghost stared at Xiao Luo in a daze. Then she slowly smiled as she realized she had wronged Xiao Luo. Xiao Luo was not an accomplice of those jerks. Neither did he repay her kindness with evil.
“Boss!”
Camel, the deputy of the Silver Wing Mercenary Group, screamed. It brought the mercenaries out of their stupor, and they immediately came to their senses.
Pointing his knife angrily at Xiao Luo, he said, “Jerk, what have you done? Our boss took you in out of kindness. He was going to take you out of the Dark Forest. Yet you bit the hand that fed you!”
“Bit the hand that fed me?”
Xiao Luo gave Camel an indifferent smile as he spoke. He took the Dragon Saber out of the Duck Emperor’s Spatial Ring and pointed its tip at the ground. The black blade was radiating with a chilly aura. Then he continued, “You think I do not know what he was planning to do? Was he taking me out of the Dark Forest out of kindness? Or was he going to sacrifice me to ensure safety for all of you if you ran into the Sucking Blood Clan? I believe you know better than anyone here.”
They had a falling-out anyway, so there was no need for pretense anymore. Xiao Luo had now recovered somewhat, and he had reached the Great Martial Master level. Most of the mercenaries were also at the Great Martial Master level, with two or three of them at the more powerful Martial Spirit level, and Camel was one of them. The situation did not look favorable at all for Xiao Luo. But despite the odds, Xiao Luo could not stand to see them torture Ghost after they captured her.
The corner of Camel’s eye twitched. He realized Xiao Luo had been aware of their plan, so he had nothing more to say. He shouted, “Send two fellows to watch this vampire chick. The others come with me. Let us kill this b*stard and avenge our boss!”
Xiao Luo had killed Silver Dragon, so Camel did not have the nerve to act alone. It would be safer to attack Xiao Luo together with the others.
Over ten men moved in unison, snarling. They attacked Xiao Luo like starving wolves. Instead of retreating, Xiao Luo went into the attack with intense fury. It startled his attackers into thinking he might be a god of carnage. Otherwise, how could his killing intent be so terrifying?
There was no time to think, for they were on the cusp of a violent, desperate fight.
The mercenaries launched several attacks against Xiao Luo. As the battle wore on, they discovered that Xiao Luo was a very experienced fighter even though he was not as strong as they were. He had good instincts and had a strong perception of their moves and could easily dodge their strikes. He could fight back even when they drove him into a corner. His counterattack was very effective. Xiao Luo had already injured a few of them.
It was both shocking and annoying for the mercenaries, and they could not understand how a guy weaker than them could possess such terrifying fighting power. It certainly irritated them when they still could not defeat Xiao Luo after battling for a good while.
It also puzzled Ghost. She murmured to herself, “Lil’ Luoluo is just at the Martial Master level. How can he exert such a terrifying force unless he is a Martial Spirit? This is weird… Truly weird.”
Of course, no one knew Xiao Luo was from the Xiao Clan, and he possessed a physique different from the average person. Besides, Xiao Luo had been fighting a lot in the Original World, where he had gained a lot of combat experience. Even though he was at present only at the level of a Great Martial Master, he could still fight like a Martial Spirit.
“Here, let’s see if you can take a kick from me!”
Camel snarled. He crouched down suddenly and whirled wildly like a tornado. Without warning, he lifted his right leg to kick Xiao Luo’s throat ferociously.
The intimidating move shocked Xiao Luo, and the fierce attack found its mark.
But at the crucial moment, Xiao Luo forced the attacker in front of him to retreat with his saber. He swiftly turned around and lifted his left arm to intercept the murderous kick. It was a close call. Unfortunately, he made that move in haste, and he was slightly wounded from the attack. He was still not strong enough.
BAM!
Camel exerted all the force of a Martial Spirit in that assault without holding back. The kick hit Xiao Luo’s left arm, and the energy force swept through his entire body instantly. It reverberated from his head to his toe. All his bones and muscles shook in trauma, and an incredibly sharp pain shot through him. Every inch of his body was aching.
“Urghh!”
The blood in his body churned, and as his heart pounded, blood flowed up through his throat and over his tongue. Finally, it spurted out between his tightly clenched teeth. Xiao Luo went flying back, and he tumbled and turned through the air and struck a giant tree about four or five miles away.
SNAP!
The tree, with a trunk as thick as an adult’s arm span, broke and crashed to the ground, sending its leaves flying around. The impact injured Xiao Luo once again. He spat out blood and felt a heaviness in the head.
Camel would not stop after he had successfully struck Xiao Luo. He snarled loudly in an imposing manner and then launched into another powerful strike. He jumped on Xiao Luo like a crazy wild beast.
“Go to hell!”
He raised his knife over his head and brought it down toward Xiao Luo’s head. He was going to cut Xiao Luo in two with one stroke.
“You want to kill this goddamn jerk? Have you asked your Grandpa Duck Emperor’s permission?”
Duck Emperor hissed as he speedily flew out of Xiao Luo’s pocket. He had no fighting power at all, so all he could do was use his beak and feet to attack Camel’s face with sharp pecks. Duck Emperor’s fierce attacks scarred Camel’s face. His actions hindered Camel and bought Xiao Luo some time.
“You damned duck. I will kill you!”
Camel lost his cool. He turned his attention to Duck Emperor and swung his knife at him to cut him into pieces.
However, the Duck Emperor was too fast. By the time Camel recovered, the Duck Emperor had already flown into the air. Then it grimaced at him like a human, and sang, “You cannot catch up with me, can you? I am just that strong. What can you do about it? La, la, la, la, la…”
