Chapter 324 No More Modesty (1/2)
But the one who seemed to be their leader didn’t sound angry, “You defeated Kudo Kazuki in the Sakura Night Club, so you have reason to be cocky. I heard that Kudo Kazuki had reached the Transforming Strength Level. You should be stronger than him. I suppose you have reached the middle level of Transforming Strength? If you had not offended us, your chance of becoming Princess Nami’s guard would’ve been high. But you’re finished now.”
Xiao Bing shrugged and asked, “May I know who you are?”
“I’m Aso Taro. If anyone offends Mr. Osaka, I’ll make sure this man will cease existing.”
Xiao Bing grinned, “Well, I was just thinking that when your face is all swollen from beating, I can tell others who you are.”
Aso Taro smiled haughtily, “I’ll break your legs and make your face swell like a pig. Then I’ll hand you over to Mr. Osaka. Don’t worry, I’ll tell him that you are Aoki Ichiro.”
Then Aso Taro took two steps back, waved and commanded, “Take him!”
Aso Taro was not weak. Xiao Bing even deemed this man stronger at the middle stage of Transforming Strength, which was above Kudo Kazuki’s level. Besides, he was much more cunning than Kudo Kazuki. Because he commanded his man to fight first while he sought for opportunities to strike.
The men charged towards Xiao Bing shouting. They each had a knife in their hands. Xiao Bing sniggered and drew his saber. He shuttled back and forth and knocked them all down. The pedestrians ran away out of fear when they saw them fighting with sabers.
Suddenly, Xiao Bing felt a chill. He dodged sideways but too late, his back was slashed. He saw Aso Taro looking at him haughtily. Xiao Bing was going to charge towards his foe but he found several more man appearing in front of Aso Taro, who fled.
Damn. If I had not deliberately concealed my true power, I could have finished you within 2 or 3 strikes.
Even if that was the case, Xiao Bing’s mastery of saber was first class. That was because he was taught by Kang Zeli, a man who specialized in Country R’s saber art. Besides, his own skill was no less than that of an innate master’s.
Though Xiao Bing and Kang Zeli had been practicing with each other before, they were not fighting for their lives. And although he had a fight with Kudo last night, the number of fights he had been involved in was small. Xiao Bing had not adjusted to fighting while constraining his strength. Besides, there was another master who was shamelessly waiting for an opportunity to strike. But soon Xiao Bing found himself becoming better at it with his saber. The following strikes from Aso Taro all missed. Surprised and terrified, he even found his men beginning to fall one by one.
Finally, Aso Taro didn’t dare use the hit and run tactic anymore. He realized that Xiao Bing was stronger than him, which meant that he might have reached the pinnacle of Transforming Strength. He could not possibly beat Xiao Bing without help. He thought about running, but he was given this mission. So he had to accomplish it. Besides, the reason why Osaka thought so highly of him was that these men all obeyed his orders. If he ran, his men would not be that united again. Mr. Osaka had other powerful masters. If Aso Taro failed this time, he might not be able to maintain his high position.
So he would rather be defeated than run.
Aso Taro charged towards Xiao Bing with a long saber. Xiao Bing was impressed. If Aso Taro left his men and ran, Xiao Bing could also stop him and beat the crap out of him. But he had not expected this man to choose to fight with the rest of his men. Xiao Bing thought Aso Taro was at least brave man. So he decided not to humiliate him.
The power Xiao Bing showed now was at the pinnacle of Transforming Strength. These men were knocked down in the blink of an eye. The one who was still standing was Aso Taro, who was cut by the saber several times. Panting, he dropped his saber, seemingly unable to fight anymore.
Looking at this man, Xiao Bing withdrew his saber and said, “You are a tough guy. I won’t do anything to you. Take your men and leave. Tell your master he’d better leave me alone
Then Xiao Bing whirled around and left, sauntering out lazily. Aso Taro said in a loud voice behind him, “I’ll tell him that, but if Mr. Osaka asks me again to kill you, I will still do it without sparing any effort.
Xiao Bing grinned. Though this man seemed to be a villain, he was definitely not a hypocrite.
