Chapter 960 929: Let Me Give You a Quick Death
"Damn, don't let this guy escape!" Yelu Shou shouted, and he was already leaping towards the crow. Before everyone had time to react, one man and one wolf were already engaged in a fierce battle. Once assured there were no lethal injuries, everyone shifted their gaze to the central position.
The positions of the three in the center had changed. Lao Zhao, directly charging at Xiao Lin, clenched his fist and swung towards Xiao Lin's face. Having fought this man before, he knew Xiao Lin practiced Inner Strength. Xiao Lin dared not be careless and had been prepared from the start, avoiding his first attack.
This did not qualify as a proper attack; it was indeed a sneak attack made during the opponent's moment of turning their head. With a cold snort, Xiao Lin suddenly grabbed Lao Zhao's fist strongly and twisted his hand, locking it tightly in place.
With a cracking sound, the chilling sound of bones breaking echoed, Lao Zhao's entire right hand was completely twisted and deformed. Xiao Lin pulled him sideways and swung a kick at Lao Zhao's legs with lightning speed. Simultaneously, his left hand fiercely gripped Lao Zhao's right shoulder; another cracking sound followed, as his eagle-like fingers dug into the flesh, crushing his shoulder blade.
Before Lao Zhao could scream, Xiao Lin's two hands, gripping the right hand and shoulder, pressed down with force. His right leg, which had just been retracted, bent at the knee. The whole action completed in almost the blink of an eye.
"I acknowledge you're a loyal servant to your master. I'll let you die quickly. In your next life, find a good master."
A series of cracking sounds were followed by an arrow of blood shooting up into the sky and a severed forearm grasped by Xiao Lin, causing the woman to widen her eyes.
Xiao Lin's right hand turned into a palm, forming an arc, striking directly at Lao Zhao's neck!
With a puff, Lao Zhao's body hung from Xiao Lin's right hand. Throughout, he had no chance to utter a painful cry, because it was too quick. By the time the pain flashed through his brain, before it could become a reaction, he was already dead on the spot.
What is killing? It's about hitting the fatal point in an instant without hesitation, regardless of who the opponent is, without needing to know who the opponent is. What's in front of you is just an item; destroy it completely.
Be it a clown or a seventh-level code, they once thought about eliminating this person in the mission, but at this moment, they suddenly understood the true essence of being a killer. He could gently treat everyone, yet he could also ruthlessly destroy every life in his hands. Now the clown suddenly understood what Xiao Lin told him; he and his father are different.
No one dared to speak up; some even touched their necks, feeling a bit fortunate not to be this man's enemy, grateful they made an absolutely correct decision not long ago.
People feel fear, and animals are even more acutely sensitive to signals of danger. At that moment, the wolf pack submitted not to anyone else, but to whom they regarded as a strong one, crouching on the ground, while only the wolf cub named 'Crow' stood on all fours, eyes gleaming at its master, proudly glancing at Yelu Shou and letting out a whimper.
The woman standing alone at the scene looked pitiful. She blankly stared at her most loyal servant being dealt with in less than three moves, with no trace of compassion on her face. Facing Xiao Lin, her calmness after a brief moment of madness made her look like a ghost without consciousness.
This is a person without a soul; that was Xiao Lin's initial thought, but he knew this person was indeed alive, because he smelled human scent, human blood, and human thoughts.
Ten fingers dripping with blood, the person Elder Miao mentioned did not appear. He hoped they wouldn't appear, but those who shouldn't have appeared quietly approached; when realized by others, it was already too late.
Elder Miao looked at Master Miao, his gaze was excited, filled with burning fanaticism, which no one noticed. Xiao Lin quickly darted forward to Elder Miao's side, blocking between him and Master Miao.
"Master!"
Elder Miao didn't pay attention to Xiao Lin. Despair suddenly flashed a light never seen before in his eyes. "I didn't expect him to ultimately accomplish what none of us could."
"What?" Xiao Lin was stunned for a second. Just at that moment, Master Miao moved, she slapped a palm towards Elder Miao. "Watch out!"
Xiao Lin yelled and lunged forward, pressing his hands on the ground, sweeping his legs in a fierce arc towards Master Miao. Calmly blocked, Master Miao also hit the ground with both palms, supporting herself to soar up, spinning 360 degrees, borrowing that tremendous recoil to slash both of her palms towards Xiao Lin's back.
A gray shadow flew out; no one noticed what was happening, but a heavy object fell to the ground and convulsed a few times before becoming motionless.
Xiao Lin turned back to look at the wolf lying on the ground, silent. If that guy hadn't rushed out, he could have easily dealt with it, but... there's no but.
"Master, if you don't want things to become uncontrollable, obediently return to the wolf pack." Xiao Lin seemed to sense his pet's anger, but it did very well, not attacking at the first moment.
Several strong male wolves had jumped out, with Crow stepping in the middle, its forelimbs stretched forward, body pressed very low, a precursor to preparation for attack.
Xiao Lin let out a long howl, sounding more like a wolf's roar. He contracted his right arm like a circular crossbow, swaying left and right, and his figure disappeared from everyone's sight. Perhaps it was a matter of angle, because when he reappeared, he was already above Mistresses, aiming a blow at her exposed shoulder blades.
Bam!
After forcibly catching Xiao Lin's powerful punch, Mistress was sent flying, creating a sizable pit on the ground. Without giving her any chance to recover, Xiao Lin was already closing in, flipping his left hand outward, and clawing with his right hand toward Mistress's head.
"Stop!"
The invisible pressure slowly approached, with the wolf pack backing away. Xiao Lin only felt a gust of wind brush past him, causing his skin to instinctively tremble.
He, who could crush a windpipe with just a flick of his fingers, leaped two meters back, standing firm in front of the bamboo building.
Underneath the robe was the sound of a tall and burly figure, everyone watched as he cradled a woman like an angel, stepping toward them one step at a time. Xiao Lin took a deep breath, moving forward to meet him.
"I won't let you come any closer to them."
"Hehe!" Beneath the mask was a pair of crimson thin lips. "I'm waiting for you to come to me and bring back that child."
As if casting a curse, the lips beneath the mask curved into a slight smile, his gaze fell on Mistresses, yet it seemed to be directed at Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin didn't move, the wolf pack swarmed forward. Once again, in a brief lapse of distraction, the wolves swept by the gale became corpses, as if he had been enchanted by this person, immersed in his words. No, it should be said that when he saw those pitch-black eyes beneath the mask, he found himself completely unable to think.
The crow roared at the air, like an arrow leaving the bowstring, charging forward. Xiao Lin leaped, pursuing the silhouette of the crow. "Yelü Shou, stay back!"
The silhouette drifted over, extinguishing the torches, plunging the entire village into darkness.
The night was especially quiet tonight, even the insects and ants seemed to have fallen asleep quietly. Elder Miao sat in a daze, Miao Shaoqing cautiously guarding at the side.
Xiao Lin followed the crow, rushing out, while the remaining people seemed to have just experienced a mere dream. Except for the pit in the center, everything seemed untouched, the dead wolves, the living ones followed their leader as he dashed forward.
Yelü Shou watched these people, more worried that such a person followed so well beside the house, without needing to guess who the masked man was.
He wouldn't overlook that person's final words, which might be why Xiao Lin chased after him. He always felt Xiao Lin was hiding something from him, yet he never expected such an outcome.
"Elder Miao!" Yelü Shou walked up to Elder Miao, opening his mouth only to find he truly had nothing to ask.
"That person is Mu Rongyun! Someone who shouldn't be alive in this world."
"I want to know, what are Xiao Lin's chances of success if he pursues like this?"
"He has no chance of success, not even a little, but he won't die either." Elder Miao stood up, walking slowly to the edge of the cliff, with hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the horizon as it began to brighten. The probably most correct decision he made in his life was to listen to this young man's words, preventing any regrets.
Miao Shaoqing had been following Elder Miao silently from the beginning to the end. "Shaoqing, do you still think you followed the wrong person now?"
"He is indeed formidable!"
"Our Miao family has lived for one person throughout generations, but in my generation, I became an unforgivable sinner. I betrayed the Xiao Family back then, becoming the first traitor of the Miao family. Since then, the history of the Miao family has come to a period, hiding our identity and fleeing into the mountains to avoid continuous hunts, but they eventually found us." Elder Miao's deep gaze fixed on that horizon suddenly broke into a smile. "Actually, I don't regret it; when I saw that woman who looked like an angel just now, I truly didn't feel any regret for my decision back then. Mu Rongyun didn't lie to me, he really accomplished it. The only thing I regret was not dying in that battle; sins are always sins, and the ones I committed are unforgivable. So Shaoqing, as the only legitimate bloodline of the Miao family, I hope you can redeem my mistakes by following the Xiao Family, by following that young man."
Dawn broke! As the bright rays penetrated the clouds, illuminating the main building, the split mist transformed this village on the mountainside into a mystical blur. (To be continued.
