225 Rampant Massacre (2/2)
Xiao Luo spotted the move and quickly bent his knees, bringing his long knife horizontally above his head to block the twin blows.
CLANG!
The grating sound of metals clashing echoed in the air as sparks flew like beads of lights in the dark.
His arms shaking, Han Mian staggered back, moaning in pain. Fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He had been injured by Xiao Luo's inner force after only a single clash of arms.
But, Long Sankui had given him an explicit order. He would either kill or be killed, and backing off was not an option, even when he knew that Xiao Luo had superior skills.
”Kill!”
Han Mian roared, clenching his teeth. He was enraged and looked like a ferocious beast on a rampage.
He charged at Xiao Luo wielding both axes with a flawless technique, hacking swiftly at Xiao Luo with brutal force. He did not let up as the sharp blades flew at him repeatedly like a fierce storm. Han Mian harbored an irreconcilable hatred for Xiao Luo and wouldn't stop until he had chopped Xiao Luo into little pieces.
”Protector! We're coming to help you!”
The black-clads of the Dragon Gang had by now regained their composure, inspired by Han Mian's fighting spirit, and they rallied to his call. Brandishing their long knives, they launched another round of violent attack, advancing en masse, and targeting at the vital areas of Xiao Luo's body.
”Come on then, all of you. I will offer you one word: Death!”
Xiao Luo's fighting mettle heightened, and a menacing force within him threatened to burst out like a tidal wave.
He had channeled all of his inner force into focus, merging that force with his body as his long knife swept across the air—an invisible blade of lethal wind formed. Even when it did not make contact with the enemy, the lethal ”wind blade” would wound half a meter away.
The wind blade was now effectively a sword, and neither Han Mian nor the other fighters from the Dragon Gang could come close to him. The space around Xiao Luo, a radius of some three meters, had become like a forbidden area. Anyone who stepped into this zone would die.
Astounded, Gu Qianxue's furrowed her brows. She had witnessed a side of Xiao Luo made her shiver. He was not the man she knew who had always given her a sense of security. This bloodthirsty and murderous man seemed like a stranger to her. Staring at the carnage, she only muttered to herself, ”Turns out, my sister was right.”
Xiao Luo's ruthlessness also shook wang Yongjia, Wang Lihu, Ye Qiu, and Liu Tieguo. It frightened them as they watched wide-eyed in disbelief.
”We could have just stood by and watch if we knew the boss could handle this all by himself!” Wang Lihu forced a laugh.
”The boss's capability is truly unfathomable.” Ye Qiu's eyes filled with admiration.
Liu Tieguo exhaled, not sure if he was awed or frightened, and he sighed, ”No wonder the local bullies and thugs in Guangming District have given him the nickname of Demonic Cop. No one would believe he's not a devil judging by how cruelly he kills.”
Wang Yongjia, on the other hand, had only one thing on his mind; he hoped the backup team from the district station would arrive quickly to stop this massacre. Despite the Dragon Gang members deserving to die, he still needed to prevent such bloody and heartless act as soon as possible. He did not want this to be a nightmare that could haunt them all for life.
”Does Xiao Luo bear some grudges against the Dragon Gang?” Wang Yongjia suddenly asked.
Wang Lihu and Ye Qiu made a gesture indicating they didn't know anything. Liu Tieguo also said nothing while smiling.
POW!
Han Mian was unable to resist Xiao Luo any longer and was lifted off the ground by a powerful kick that sent his sailing through the air. Blood sprayed out from his mouth, and his axes slipped out of his hands even as he fell hard on the ground. The backup team from the district station had finally arrived. Dozens of police cars, siren wailing, surrounded the place.
As the police officers alighted the police vehicles, they saw the scene and were left speechless. How was this the Dragon Gang attacking the police? It looked more like a massacre of the Dragon Gang.
