22 Becoming Law-abiding through Reason (1/2)

It was very windy on the rooftop. The sky was cloudy, and there was no sun.

At this moment, six boys with smug faces holding metal pipes surrounded Xiao Luo.

”I still want to say something -- since you're students, act like students. Don't learn from the gangsters in society and act as they do. We're a society now ruled by law. Your behavior is challenging the law,” Xiao Luo patiently advised.

It was only a game; he didn't want to take action to teach these guys a lesson.

”Are you f*cking trying to make me laugh myself to death? We're already at this point, and you're talking to us about the law? What a fool!” The boy with a face full of acne laughed.

The others laughed along with him, looking contemptuously at Xiao Luo the way they looked at lunatics and idiots.

Xiao Luo lowered his head and said helplessly, ”There's another way.”

The facial expression of the boy with acne quickly changed. He shouted in a low and heavy voice, ”Of course there's no other way. Go! Beat the sh*t out of him!”

The other five yelled with deep voices and pounced on him.

Seeing them rush toward him, the expression on Xiao Luo's face slowly congealed. When the boy who was speeding at the forefront flung his metal pipe at him, Xiao Luo's body instinctively stepped back to avoid it. He calmly avoided two other metal pipes that were brandished at him in succession. He dodged nearly every attack by dint of a subtle but effective move.

The five guys rushing toward him were more than a little astonished; they never expected Xiao Luo to be so agile.

After fending off their attacks, Xiao Luo retaliated. In his eyes, the actions of any one of these boys were prolonged so slowly that he could see their blue veins and soft hair fluttering on the back of their hands.

Whoosh

His arms were like two attacking poisonous snakes, moving at breakneck speed. He grabbed two of the guys by the wrist and sent them flying.

The two felt as if the pipes in their hands were caught in a speeding truck that was towing their bodies. They fell head first onto the ground, knocking out their front teeth. Blood splashed everywhere. Blood-curdling screams soon followed.

A boy happened to be holding a metal pipe high above his head at this moment and was about to smash Xiao Luo's head in, but he realized he could not swing the pipe down. It seemed to be stuck. Looking up, he saw a big hand holding the metal pipe like a steel clamp. That hand belonged to Xiao Luo.

No matter how hard the boy tried, the metal pipe did not budge.

”Let... Let go!” The boy cried in horror.

Xiao Luo snorted and eased up a little. Then he quickly snatched his opponent's metal pipe. Stepping forward, he positioned his body as he rammed his shoulder into the guy's chest.

Bam

The guy felt as if a wild bull had hit him. His internal organs trembled violently at this very moment. His body lost control as it was thrown back. He fell with a crash onto solid ground three or four meters away, involuntarily letting out a miserable howl.

Seeing that three of his guys had collapsed in an instant, the eyelids of the acne-riddled boy twitched frantically. Another two of his people stood rooted to the spot, terrified. It was impossible to say that they felt no fear; they never expected that Xiao Luo could be so violent.

Sighing, Xiao Luo said calmly, ”I was trying to reason with you all, but you got violent with meYou are pullingng out some metal pipes to frighten people, trying to show me how you're ruthless badasses. Who doesn't know how to do that? If you want to play, we should have some real fun!”

He grinned cruelly, speaking in a resounding and powerful voice.

If Xiao Luo was a smiling angel just now, he was currently an evil, bloodthirsty demon. The three guys, including the one with acne, were so scared they took a few steps back. Their hearts beat wildly, and their breathing became fast and short. They were so nervous they broke out in a cold sweat.

”Chen Jie, go, beat..... beat him up!”

The acne riddled boy shouted in a quavering voice at the handsome boy beside him.

How would Chen Jie dare to do that? He pushed forward another guy who was next to him. ”Xie Bin, you go!”

Someone pushed him forward. He instinctively wanted to retreat but felt that would be too cowardly. At last, he gritted his teeth, bellowed, and braced himself as he rushed toward Xiao Luo.

Before his metal pipe met Xiao Luo's body, the metal pipe in Xiao Luo's hand was already on its way toward his neck. He administered such a fierce and severe blow to his neck.

Bam

This guy felt as if his neck had shifted. He staggered a few steps back and collapsed on the ground. His body spasmed uncontrollably.

He was cruel and ferocious, leaving them no leeway!
