Chapter 13 - M.D.B 13: Sudden Attack! (2/2)
The one to receive the punch to the ċhėst spurted a great amount of blood on the spot. Before anyone knew, he was in mid air flying out of the store. After landing, blood just kept of flowing out of his mouth. Obviously, Saint had inflicted great internal injuries to him, and broken several of his ribs. He was in great pain, unable to stand up.
Five more to go…
Saint looked at the number of enemies she'd face, and increased the output of Ki in his body. The blue light flowing on his fists became more and more obvious…
Well the thing is that you'll be writing it anyway would give him more range in his attacks, but would also drain him out faster. With Gu, he could reinforce him punches as long as he has Ki in his body. Also, as long as he doesn't make contact with an enemy, his Ki consumption would remain negligible. In this way, it was the most efficient tool to fight at his current level.
On top of that, time was on his side. As soon as the New York Police arrive, he'd be in a more comfortable position. Therefore, after taking down one of his enemies, he did not rush it, and instead took a step back, waving his index to show that that they should not go this way.
Saint knew that these gangsters shouldn't be after a low profile character such as him, but probably after Joy Meachum who was inside. He had to keep them out of the store, and thus insure that threat to her life is minimal. On top of that, he had to keep Lorna out of it, as her possible loss of control could lead to great trouble…
The remaining five looked at their companion on the ground, and were rather intimidated. The thing that popped up in their minds first was that they were facing a ”Martial Arts Master”. They were stunned; each waiting for one of the others to be the first to advance.
”Attack!” After an awkward 10 seconds long silence, a gangster with a moustache raised his axe and rushed in screaming in Chinese, ”I'll slice you up!”
”So you're the one!” Saint's eyes shined and he immediately stepped sideways to the left, dodging the axe and raising his right hand, to land a vicious punch to his enemy's side. The impact of the Ki wrapped fist on the gangster's body caused a wave to spread on his body, and made his feet leave the ground involuntarily!
His whole body flew up and back, and was over a meter high in the air before beginning to fall down.
When still in midair, he felt his innards bursting in pain. He did not fall gracefully, for the pain made his limbs fall into convulsions and his face distort. By the time he hit the ground, his eyes had turned white, and his face was covered with a mess of foam, snot and blood. This all happened in a split second, and his colleges could not afford to blink, as their faces became more gloomy than their already tainted souls!
After that one attack from Saint, he did not carry on attacking. He looked at the other four, and slowly advances towards them waiting for their next attack.
Seeing the terrible state of their fellow, the four stood still with their spirits broken. This time, they didn't even bother to rearrange their formation. With them not encircling Saint, he found several windows to attack, and he rushed in at them as a vicious tiger!
