Chapter 631 - Birds of a Feather (1/2)

SLASH! SLASH!

Asou Shuyao was quick as she brandished two daggers that were so sharp, they could cut through thin silk. She launched her assault at Xiao Luo in a relentless series of slashes and jabs. She moved skillfully toward him in nimble steps.

“I’ll send you to hell, you filth! Now you die!” screamed Asou Shuyao endlessly. The hatred that loomed in her heart for Xiao Luo intensified her desire to kill him.

Xiao Luo’s lips curled into a wry smile. He looked amused as he dodged her blows skillfully, side-stepping to avoid the daggers, and delivering a high kick that landed right on the mark—the left half of Asou Shuyao’s face.

Asou Shuyao, who had been slashing manically with the daggers, was sent flying back, and her body crashed brutally onto the surface of the ground. Sprawled where she landed, she had a shoe print on her face, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

“You have swung a million times at me, and yet you cannot even handle one of my kicks.”

There was a mocking smile on Xiao Luo’s face. That kick was exceedingly satisfying, for he had wanted to teach this woman a proper lesson for the longest time.

“You scum!”

Asou Shuyao gritted her teeth as she dragged herself up from the ground. Then she lunged forward and charged toward Xiao Luo once more like a mother leopard protecting her young.

“Hmmm…”

Xiao Luo hummed lightly through his nose. The internal Qi energy within his body suddenly spiked, and he zipped through the distance that separated them at lightning speed, like a beast awakened from its slumber. In a split second, he appeared right in front of Asou Shuyao. He reached for her neck with his right hand and wrapped his fingers around her throat.

Startled by the speed of the sudden attack, Asou Shuyao could do nothing against it. Xiao Luo had grabbed her by the neck and slammed her against the sturdy walls of the temple.

BAM!

Her back smashed against the wall, and there was a crisp sound of cracking bones. Asou Shuyao let out a pitiful wail as blood gushed from her mouth and nose. Her exquisite face twisted in pain, and the daggers in her hands fell clattering to the floor.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to exchange blows with me a few days back? How is this, then? Are you satisfied?” Xiao Luo mocked.

Asou Shuyao blanched, staring at Xiao Luo in horror.

What terrifying power he possessed. This man is formidable!

He had defeated her so thoroughly that she did not even have the chance to retaliate. It all happened in a split second. At that moment, a horrifying chill enveloped her—Xiao Luo was formidable! She had been so consumed by her rage the entire time that it got to her head. She suddenly realized that there was such an enormous gap in skill between the two of them.

“You will do well to remember this. Hua Nation today is no longer like the Qing Dynasty of old. Sometimes, you pay the price for the things you say. Consider yourself lucky. Your Asou family was not involved in the genetic engineering experimentation, or else, Asou Jiro’s castration would have been the least of your concerns. I would have wiped out your entire bloodline!” said Xiao Luo. His voice was cold and emotionless. He sounded like he had come from the depths of hell.

Asou Shuyao’s heart thumped, and her chest tightened. Xiao Luo had a firm grip on her neck, and she could barely let a single word out. She only stared at him with eyes that were filled with fear, for this man seemed like he had come straight out of hell.

Xiao Luo said nothing more. With his hand still on her neck, he slammed her viciously against the wall once again.

“OOOF!”

Blood poured out her mouth, and Asou Shuyao let out a pitiful scream before passing out with her head slumped at an unnatural angle.

Xiao Luo loosened his hold, and Asou Shuyao slid from the wall to the ground like a heap.
