Chapter 601 - Phantom’s Claw (1/2)

Like a beast baring its fangs, Xiao Luo charged toward Wang Leyou, the scale-covered monster. Before it could even land on the ground, Xiao Luo struck brutally and sent it flying once again.

POW! BAM! KAPOW!

The tremendous blow knocked the monster back, and it thrashed along the ground as if it were a heavy vehicle that had lost control. Fragments of pavement flew all over, and dust kicked up into the air each time it hit the ground.

Miyazaki Ronjin and Kimura Akino were both stunned, and they had their mouths wide opened with similar expressions on their faces. They were in a state of dumbfounded and could not find the words to express themselves. Despite being mentally prepared for Xiao Luo’s strength, they never expected that he had even more power than they’d witnessed before. He undoubtedly exceeded the limits of what any living mortal could do!

“Is Xiao Han-kun even a human being?” Kimura Akino muttered to himself.

Miyazaki Ronjin did not respond. He stared blankly at the slim, well-limbed figure before him. It was unbelievable, but Xiao Luo possessed a power equivalent to that of a god or a demon. Deep down, it amazed him, and he found the Hua Nation to be a very mysterious country. To think that they had the services of such a terrifying person—it was no wonder they only sent one man down. Just this one individual alone could fight against a thousand troops all by himself.

ROAR!

A furious bellow issued from the scale-covered monster, and it was raging mad. It picked itself up, growling fiercely, and then suddenly charged toward Xiao Luo like a maddened beast.

“Ding! Congratulations, you have received the Phantom’s Claw. You have used up a hundred thousand points!”

The system alert rang in Xiao Luo’s head with the information that he needed. He had made an exchange and upgraded his skill the moment he realized that his opponent’s scale-like armor was impenetrable. But the Phantom’s Claw was stronger and would break through such a defense. It could even rip apart an armored car.

He condensed and channeled all his internal energy to his ten fingers. The power was so intense that white shimmering light emitted from his fingertips. Both of his hands looked like they were burning with an intense white-hot fire. The temperature in the alley plummeted, and the place turned bitterly cold.

“It’s time to end this!”

Xiao Luo had a cruel grin on his face as his lips curled viciously upward. Whoosh! In the very next second, like a flash of lightning, he closed the three to four meters gap between them and appeared right in front of the monster. He aimed the Phantom’s Claw at its heart with the single-minded intention of tearing it out.

Xiao Luo’s hands were like a pair of knives, and he wielded them with skill and dexterity. The Phantom’s Claw was lethal, and its effect was like putting a burning soldering iron into a piece of foam—all that could be heard was a sizzle. Xiao Luo pierced his right hand into the monster’s chest. Green fluid splattered and soaked his hand as it penetrated all the way through its back.

Wang Leyou, who had transformed into that hideous, scale-covered beast, suddenly stayed still and quiet. Both of his arms dropped to their sides as if they had no strength left.

“It is dead. The monster is dead! Xiao Han-kun’s hands, they pierced right through his body!” exclaimed Kimura Akino. He looked horrified, and frankly, he was still in such shock that his body was trembling with fear. Wang Leyou had turned into a monster that even bullets could not harm.

“This guy is the actual beast,” said Miyazaki-san.

Miyazaki Ronjin swallowed his saliva. If Wang Leyou was a beast, then Xiao Luo was the beast among all beasts! After all, he had pierced his hand right through Wang Leyou’s body.

Xiao Luo pulled his fists and removed them from Wang Leyou’s chest. Wang Leyou’s body spun around in a pirouette before falling onto the ground.

“Green blood?”

Looking at the green fluid on his hand, Xiao Luo furrowed his brows. The liquid was emitting a powerful stench, like the putrefying smell of a decomposed rat, and it was enough to make him feel like retching.

Suddenly, Wang Leyou stirred. The trio had thought he was already dead, but he suddenly got back up with a roar. Wang Leyou slammed both his legs firmly onto the ground and lunged toward Xiao Luo like an attacking toad. His right hand, covered with scales, was like a sharp and long blade. Like the howling wind, he leaped and aim a blow right at Xiao Luo’s chest, intending to kill him.

This sudden turn of events happened too quickly. Who would have imagined that a person who had his chest pierced right through could still come alive!

Xiao Luo’s pupils shrank, and he bent his upper body backward instinctively. But it was too late. Wang Leyou’s right claw struck him on the chest.

RIP!

It shredded the clothes on his chest. Blood started oozing out from the three horrifying claw marks that appeared on Xiao Luo’s chest.
