Chapter 542 - The finale (2/2)

Xie Long and Ku Lou’s eyes widened in shock by Xiao Luo’s unexpected return.

Two of their mercenaries reacted instantly in that split second as they pointed their weapons to shoot.

But Xiao Luo was faster. Before their fingers could pull the trigger, two steel blades flashed through the air across the room at lightning speed. The daggers fatally sliced their throats cleanly. In a blink of the eye, the two well-trained mercenaries collapsed in pools of spurting blood, and their bodies writhed for a short moment before they both laid still.

Watching helplessly, Xie Long and Ku Lou were in a state of shock. It happened so fast that both their men had no idea what had hit them.

Confident he had dispatched of them, Xiao Luo did not even look at the two fallen men but instead stared directly at Khun Sa. With a malicious smile lifting one corner of his lips, Xiao Luo said, “Khun Sa, it has been quite a chore to locate you guys. We spoke last year. I said I will trace you down, find you in person, and kill you. Do you remember?”

Quickly recovering from the slaughter of his men, Khun Sa laughed and said, “I admit that you’re quite capable, but do you know why I am their boss?”

“Why is that so?” Xiao Luo asked quietly in a tone belying the calm it exuded.

“The reason is that I am stronger than any one of them!”

Khun Sa answered confidently, and as he finished speaking, an explosive aura burst from his body and shattered his glasses. He let out a wild roar and charged at Xiao Luo.

His right arm swung with formidable force and aimed to strike at Xiao Luo’s chest at a vital angle.

Xiao Luo was not fazed by it and met Khun Sa’s fist squarely with his own.

BOOM!

The two fists collided in an explosive thud, causing Xiao Luo to steady himself after moving a few steps back. He was calm and did not seem to sustain any injury from the impact of the punch.

On the other side, Khun Sa retreated a few meters back and only regained his balance with Xie Long and Ku Lou’s assistance.

“Boss!”

Xie Long was a bashful chap but seeing their boss lose to a person he detested so much, he threw caution to the wind and bellowed, “Son of a bitch, die!”

He pulled out a sharp dagger from the sheath on his waist and charged forward to Xiao Luo like a feral beast.

All in one breath, he attacked with a succession of moves–lunging with stabs, slashes, hacks, and chops at Xiao Luo. He used his inner power to enhance his strikes with more force. Xiao Luo managed to dodge every attack, and right before he was about to retaliate, Ku Lou joined the fray and charged at him like an angry rhino while expelling a roar at the same time. When he was ten steps away from Xiao Luo, he leaped into the air and performed a high jump kick aiming at Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo frowned, quickly darting his eyes from one man to the other. He spun his body to evade Xie Luo’s dagger. And then, with a wry smile, he deployed a forceful kick towards Ku Lou.

BOOM!

Ku Lou took the impact and flew back like a broken kite, crashing hard against the wall. Upon impact, he vomited a mouthful of blood and realized that his right leg was broken. It was bent backward in a ‘V’ shape with blood spurting out from the punctured wound like a fountain. He was in excruciating pain, breaking into a cold sweat from it. But he endured it with a determined grit of silence.

He lay helplessly staring at Xiao Luo, wondering how this human could possess such a tremendous force of power. What kind of monster was this Xiao Luo?

Xie Long completely lost his head and attacked Xiao Luo frantically with his dagger. But he lost the battle as Xiao Luo landed a palm on his chest, unleashing a tsunami-powered strike onto him. Xie Long flew backward while vomiting blood in the process and heard his bones crack as his body crashed hard onto the ground. Blood flowed from his nose and mouth down his throat was choking him, and he started to cough out blood while gasping for air. His dagger had flown from his hand with such impact that it broke into pieces.

“You son of a bitch, I’ll kill you!”A coarse and vengeful voice cried thunderously.Xiao Luo turned towards that voice and saw Khun Sa’s body growing like a balloon expanding as it was being pumped. The black Cheong-sam suit he was wearing ripped to shreds as his body grew bigger. His transforming body became more muscular, and he shot up in height as well. Under the light, his eerie shadow continued to grow in length and size.
