170 Coming out safely (1/2)
A very fierce method! However, Jun Mo Xie wasn't regarding this method as 'fierce' or even 'ruthless', but as simply necessary! Each individual attack of this series was fatal, and their combined impact over such a short duration had made them even more so!
The reason he considered these attacks to be necessary was simple: Their path was being obstructed by a Jade Xuan, and the only way to get out was to either use the Yin Yang Escape law or go for overkill without using his Xuan Qi since he was well aware that he couldn't break through a stronger enemy's Xuan Qi protection! In case he used the Yin Ying escape law to get past the man, he was sure to stop and kill his guards!
[You will need to die my friend! It's better that you die than us! Therefore you must die!] Jun Mo Xie was well aware that he couldn't afford to stall for even one second, else he would have a difficult time in getting everyone to safety, and therefore he had raining such powerful and consecutive strikes onto the assassin's body!
As far as Jun Mo Xie was concerned, that Jade Xuan assassin only had himself to blame for his miserable death. Had the man not been so powerful, then he too would have died as painlessly as his comrades!
Even though Jun Mo Xie had landed several fatal blows onto the man's body in a flash, he had still managed to maintain his forward velocity while the body of the Jade Xuan assassin had hung onto his own as the two of them bolted forward!
Boom!
Just as Jun Mo Xie's knee landed the final blow, the body of the Jade Xuan assassin suddenly split apart. His four limbs detached from the rest of his body, and flew out in four different directions, while his head dismembered from the core of his body and flew over Jun Mo Xie's head. The body which had been hanging onto Jun Mo Xie's, had now suddenly dismembered into a hundred fragments. The deceased assassin's bones and flesh were now flying out in different directions while his blood was merging into the falling raindrops!
Jun Mo Xie's eight bodyguards quickly made their way forward through the blood and rain without slowing down; in fact, they weren't required to slow down at all during this in-motion combat sequence! The assassins who were chasing them had also seen this sequence very clearly: in their eyes, this demonic figure had just opened up a big and red hole in the body of their lieutenant, and had just torn his body apart like a piece of paper!
The escaping men continued to breeze forward and made another corner…. and were relieved to realize that they had finally made it to safety!
A few gorgeously glittering Xuan Qi lights were quickly braving their way through the rain and towards them; the Jun Family's support troops were arriving!
”Xiao Qi!…..” Li Zhi Wu was running forward as fast as possible as he continued to stare at the rainy sky while his comrade's head spiraled through the air. He came to stop as the head landed on the ground, and rolled over twice and came to a halt next to his feet. His comrade's lifeless face was turned upwards, but was missing two eyes.... His face was still carrying a ferocious expression on it… even the traces of his sadistic smile were still frozen on his lifeless face!
It was almost as if the man had been struck by lightning and had been unable to change his facial expression before succumbing to his death!
Even though these two men were unrelated by flesh, they had become brothers in bond over the numerous risky assignments that they had taken together over these past few decades! And now his brother's dismembered face was lying next to his feet!
Even if he managed to pick up his brother's entire body, Li Zhi Wu knew that he still wouldn't be able to piece it back together!
[What is this strange feeling?]
The black-robed leader of the assassins could feel his blood boiling. He could still hear Xiao Qi boasting about his smart and quick-witted son, and about his kind and loving wife….. he even remembered Xiao Qi mentioning that he would wash his hands clean of this life after this final assignment, and would then concentrate on rearing his family along with his wife…. far away from this city; like normal people, and would live happily ever after…..
He could clearly hear his friend's words and could even see the desire in his eyes as he had said: [I'm sick and tired of this blood-soaked way of life!]
And then…. Just now his friend had obeyed his own command and had charged forward to stop their escaping targets!
And just now he had died in front of his own eyes! And had died in the most gruesome manner possible!
Just because of his one command...
”Who are you? I dare you to leave your name behind!” Li Zhi Wu roared as he stood motionlessly in the rain…. his voice sounded as shrill as that of an old ape! ”Who are you...?!”
A crisscross lightning bolt lit up the sky once again, and the sounds of thunder started to ring endlessly from the sky above, like drums on a battlefield; powerful and heavy; suppressive and bloody!
The hitman Jun shouted back loudly: ”I dare you to tell me your name!” since the Jun Family's reinforcements had arrived, the situation had completely reversed…. And Jun Mo Xie had already realized that the leader of his attackers had lost his mind to chaos upon losing his friend, and was hoping to take full advantage of it!
Li Zhi Wu shouted back hatefully: ”I am... you damn bastard….. at least have the guts to tell me your name!” He realized his enemy's intentions at the last second, and withheld his name.
But no one answered back….. However, the Jun Family's reinforcements were already galloping at full speed since they had spotted the situation.
”Withdraw!” a cold voice originated from the throat of a slender black-dressed woman. Her wet hairs were pasted against her beautiful face, and one could clearly see through her veil and tell that her pupils had gone completely cold with pain and disappointment. However, despite all of it, she was still categorical enough to issue the command for retreat.
