Chapter 370 - Why Not You Try (1/2)

Xiao Luo glanced contemptuously at the rank of kendo students blocking his way and said, “And, what if I insist on leaving?”

“Then we will all subdue you and hand you over to the police!”

Wang Tuyun said coldly, “I don’t know what demonic martial arts you have mastered, but although we are no match for you alone, collectively as a group, we can drown you just by spitting on you. We also have Senior Brother Qinghe here to back us up, so there’s no way you can walk out of this kendo gym.”

She had her chest puffed up, and she was very confident.

“Sure, you can try… why not?”

Xiao smirked, and his eyes gleamed with a cold light.

When Xiao Luo stared at the kendo students, they unconsciously took a step back as their hearts shuddered for a moment in unease. The prowess of this stranger in front of them defied logic. He had the inner power that their master had once told them about and was even capable of using some kind of telekinesis-like force. With such powers, he could very well go against their master himself. With such thoughts in their minds, they couldn’t decide what to do and glanced nervously at their master’s favorite disciple, Guo Qinghe, hoping for some guidance.

“Xiao Luo, are you really going to force me to attack you?” Guo Qinghe said.

Xiao Luo chuckled and remarked, “Guo Qinghe, stop pretending to be a gentleman. I bet you had wanted to put me in my place even during our gathering in Jiangcheng, only you couldn’t find a chance to do so. Now that opportunity has presented itself to you, how could you possibly let go of it? I don’t remember there being any bad blood between us, so if there’re any issues, it could only be caused by your inflated ego. For our classmates that are doing worse than you, you’d treat them as friends. For those more successful, they would be your rivals. Am I correct?”

With his true character revealed by Xiao Luo so accurately, Guo Qinghe felt like he was standing naked before everyone’s watchful eyes and became self-conscious. He was suddenly overcome by a sense of indignation and humiliation, and he succumbed to his rage. Ominously, he gritted his teeth and called for his sword.

Wang Tuyun responded and hastily ran to fetch the weapon. When she returned, she held a western-style sword in her hands.

It was not a wooden one, but a real sword that could cut through the human flesh. It was a rapier, a slender dueling sword with a straight blade about 100 centimeters in length. It had an elaborate hilt, and its single-edged blade was made of tempered steel, fullered and tapered to a sharp pointed tip. The blade gleamed under the indoor lighting, revealing a well-honed edge that looked razor-sharp. It would easily pierce or slice through flesh, causing a terrible wound and great loss of blood.

Guo Qinghe looked fierce as he pointed his sword at Xiao Luo and said, “I’m asking you one last time. Do you wish to leave or stay here and wait until the police arrive?”

“So… you’ve decided to use a real sword, but why not a katana, I wonder?”

As far as Xiao Luo was concerned, this sword effectively wiped off the last vestiges of their friendship. Henceforth, Guo Qinghe would be excluded from the list of the people that he considered friends.

Suddenly, Su Xiaobei squeezed her way through the crowd and ran to Xiao Luo. He clung on to his thigh and holding back her tears, she pleaded, “Uncles, aunties, please don’t hurt my daddy. I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have run around in this place.”

Her voice was that of a child, but her mind was much more matured than other children her age. Seeing so many angry people surrounding Xiao Luo and fearing for his wellbeing, she did the only she could to save her daddy.

“Little girl, you’re not supposed to be here, go away!” Wang Tuyun snapped.

“No, I won’t… he’s my daddy.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. These people can’t do anything to Daddy.”

Xiao Luo ruffled her head affectionately and then gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Su Xiaobei’s concern for his safety made his heart melt, and he couldn’t help feeling that they were truly father and daughter.

These words riled up the kendo students, and their expressions darkened. They were outraged that even with their senior brother armed with a sword, he dared to look down on them with impunity.

“Su Canye, come and take Xiaobei away.” Su Canye was still in a daze, standing not far away, and Xiao Luo had to shout to get his attention.

“Huh? Oh… okay, okay.”
