49 The heart of the strong (1/2)
Mo Wen whipped out the military dagger from his thigh pouch, the same one every student was issued for self-defense.
A short guy with thin sunken cheeks was chasing and attacking Wang Yuan with hard and forceful strokes. As he was in the later stage of Body Consolidation realm, it was easy for him to defeat Wang Yuan who was only in the middle stage of Body Consolidation realm.
He curled his lips into a mirthless smile with a pair of claw gloves in his hands. After a while, Wang Yuan's body was covered with more than ten claw marks. He enjoyed the feeling of torturing people little by little until the person was dead.
Just as he was about to leap onto Wang Yuan to claw him again, a strange figure suddenly appeared in front of him. A glisten flashed out in the next moment, and a chill went down the nape of his neck as if something was flowing out of his body. Subsequently, the person limped onto the ground like a deflated balloon.
His eyes widened, hoping to see the figure clearly, but the figure had already disappeared from his eyes. He didn't know how the figure appeared in front of him or when it had disappeared.
The same thing happened to the tall guy who was attacking Wang Yuan. A glisten flashed as well, and the figure swayed into his sight for a moment but disappeared completely in the next.
With two attacking enemies lying on the ground, Wang Yuan exhaled deeply as if his strength was being sucked out of him. Then he limped and sat on the ground. Although the fight was short, he suffered quite a few injuries to his body.
Looking at Mo Wen who once again entered the fighting zone of Liu Guangwen, a tinge of shock and fear flashed across Wang Yuan's eyes. When Mo Wen was killing the two enemies just now, he was efficient, decisive, and ruthless. All were killed with one blow and they went off without a hitch. Obviously it was not the first time he killed someone.
Who exactly was he? Wang Yuan's face turned pale. Killing a person was like play for Mo Wen and he was actually dealing with such a person for a month.
”Oh no. Brother, the rest are dead,” said the only person left on the ground. He had not made a move after realizing how bad the situation was. He was so terrified that he started screaming loudly.
The short middle-aged man who was concentrating on fighting with Liu Guangwen was shocked to hear that and shot a glance at their direction. Indeed, five corpses of his men lay on the ground.
His face turned grave instantly; how could he not have realized the situation had changed so suddenly?
How much time had passed? It was definitely less than a minute and yet they killed five people. Who could have such a terrifying method!
”Run!” the short middle-aged man shouted without hesitation. He abandoned Liu Guangwen and turned around intending to make his way into the forest.
He knew his plan today had failed. He never expected to have so many experts to be around Liu Guangwen. If he had known, then he would have sent people with at least the skills of a the Soothing Pulse realm.
”You want to run away now? Don't you think it is too late?” a nonchalant voice said suddenly behind the short middle-aged man. At the same time, a glistening flash was rushing towards the center portion of his back.
The short middle-aged man's face changed after hearing that. Without a second thought, he rolled onto the ground and made a lucky escape from Mo Wen's dagger.
”I reiterate what you said before. Tonight, nobody will leave this place,” Mo Wen curled his lips into a piercing smile, and flicked his fingers forming a flashing silver light. In a distance, the ancient martial arts practitioner who had already run more than ten meters away, suddenly plummeted onto the ground with a loud thud and a bloody hole unexpectedly appeared on the back of his head.
It was not that he had a strong desire to kill, but he didn't want to have any inexplicable troubles. The things that happened tonight had nothing to do with him; he just happened to come across it. Regardless of whatever happened to Liu Guangwen, he didn't want to be a part of it. That's why those who were trying to kill them had to die. He could only assure that nobody would be after him and Qin Xiaoyu's group unless he disposed of them. Otherwise, they would only continue to hunt Liu Guangwen.
”You are not afraid of God's punishment for having such a strong desire to kill?” the short middle-aged man said. He was terrified as he didn't know how Mo Wen managed to appear behind him just now.
Mo Wen laughed nonchalantly while saying, ”Killing consists of benevolent and malevolent killing, but needs to be done with a clear conscience. Since you are contaminating the society by being on earth, I don't mind transcending your soul to the Western Paradise.”
Mo Wen killed quite a few people, but he would never kill the innocent. Some people thought their lives were precious, but others' lives were like dirt.
”What a glib tongue. A killing is a killing. Even if I die today, I will let you off easily,” the short middle-aged man's face turned sullen as he knew that the matter tonight wouldn't be settled easily.
Mo Wen laughed heedlessly while the dagger flew out his hand, and in a glistening flash it appeared in front of the short middle-aged man.
The short middle-aged man snorted before whipping out a broadsword from behind his back. He turned his body around to avoid the attack of the dagger, and at the same time brandished his broadsword instantly to hit back at the dagger.
