194 You Really Want To Die (2/2)

Xiao Ruyi's face was as pale as a ghost, feeling as if she was about to be attacked by a beast. She broke out in a cold sweat with froze with fear.

”Don't touch my wife!”

Shouting and yelling, Tang Ren threw himself at Guan Zhong, completely disregarding his own safety. A hand was raised, and a man was down. Without even a blink, Tang Ren was knocked out cold by Guan Zhong.

”Hee-yah!” Right at that moment, a high-pitched screech pierced the air, coming from the distant hallway. Like a flash of lightning striking through the air, it was onto them in a split second. Appearing like a wraith, it spun like a shadow through the air, and without any warning of a foot flew at Guan Zhong's neck, with a swift and deadly intent.

The sudden attack took Guan Zhong by surprise. The menacing presence and the fierce strike of his unexpected opponent had put him under tremendous pressure.

He moved backward quickly. His left hand turned and clenched into a fist; from a low stance, he threw his fist wide, in an arch, towards his opponent's flank.

Bang!

His fist came into direct collision with a powerful and precisely timed kick, so forceful that it crashed through and plowed into the waiting body. The impact reverberated through Guan Zhong, like an angry tsunami. He was thrown in the air, appearing like a kite with a broken string. A mouthful of blood sprayed in an arch. He was landed hard on the floor with bloodstains on the corner of his mouth.

The darting figure spun in the air and landed on the ground nimbly. It was a handsome young man, he wore a grim and cold expression.

”Brother?”

Xiao Ruyi was surprised to see Xiao Luo, and immediately felt safe again and overcome with an intense feeling of joy. After helping Tang Ren get up, she flew into Xiao Luo's arms, soft and demure, like a beautiful butterfly.

Tang Ren's shoulder was still aching from Guan Zhong's blow. He walked over to Xiao Luo and called him ”brother” affectionately.

All the onlookers in the room stared, wide-eyed, in astonishment. The scene they'd just witnessed was heart-stirring as if they were watching a wuxia TV drama. The racing pace, spinning, and kicking -- everything happened in a flash. How amazing it was! Adding a twist to the plot, the person even turned out to be Xiao Ruyi's brother.

Xiao Lyo rubbed Xiao Ruyi's on the top of the head affectionately, grinned, and said, ”I haven't seen you in days. You seem to be even prettier.”

”Jerk. You're mocking me again.” Xiao Ruyi said while pouting her lips.

”Xiao... Xiao Luo?”

Hua Haifeng stared at Xiao Luo, aghast and dumbfounded. The pain in his groin started to wear off, and he slowly stood up straight.

Xiao Luo's eyes glared at him coldly. A menacing look was pulsing deep inside his eyes like flame. He said, ”Hua Haifeng, how dare you dally with my sister. It looks like you are really tired of living.”

Guan Zhong sensed the threat in Xiao Luo's tone. Disregarding his pain, he struggled to get up and came before Xiao Luo. Cupping one hand over the other, in front of his chest, he bowed low to Xiao Luo and said deferentially, ”Mr. Xiao, I'm ignorant and have no wisdom. I could only wish you would be lenient and give the wrongdoer a way out. I can promise that Hua Haifeng will never show up in front of Miss Ruyi's ever again!”

Cold sweat rolled down Guan Zhong's forehead. He had practiced martial arts for many years, and never had he experienced such a strong aura of death on anyone until today. His ominous presence made his soul tremble in fear. Adding to the fact that he was defeated with only one move, he realized that this man was an out-and-out killer.
