Chapter 116: Hard to Defend Against
For this matter, Xiao Qi was utterly baffled.
Logically speaking, given such strength, wouldn’t it be easy to kill him? Yet they chose not to! Are they toying with me?
While he was in confusion, a men in black struck him on the chest like lightning. A flash of sword light actually pierced into his mouth, stabbing his tongue!
Xiao Qi was furious and shouted, “If you want to kill me, just do it! Why the humiliation?”
But the men in black said nothing, swiftly retreating. They avoided Yunshan and Yunhai, ghosting around behind the two, and the two boxes on the ground suddenly vanished. With a swish, the men in black leaped away and disappeared in an instant!
From the moment they appeared to their departure, it took less than half a breath!
However, the sword genius of the Xiao family, Xiao Qi, had already been defeated! Injured!
He had hovered countless times on the brink of death! In the end, it was only due to the other party's mercy that he was still alive!
But this kind of mercy was more painful to someone as proud as Xiao Qi than a thousand cuts!
With bloodshot eyes, he watched the mysterious figures in black masks vanish into the night sky, and finally spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staggering backward until he fell to the ground, trembling all over!
It was not fear, but rage!
Xiao Qi had always been obsessed with the sword, rarely facing such a crushing defeat. Yet, he had been defeated!
But today, without any power to fight back, he was brutalized, while the opponent played with him like a cat with a mouse, cutting him to shreds and leaving him in tatters, yet chose not to kill him!
The most outrageous act was stabbing the long sword into his mouth, just piercing the tip of his tongue slightly without killing him!
“Did you come specifically to humiliate me?” Xiao Qi roared to the sky, tears of rage streaming down his face.
It was simply too embarrassing, too humiliating!
Recalling the cold sword that had just pierced into his mouth, that chilling feeling made Xiao Qi gag, and he began to vomit while cursing and crying, collapsing to the ground, gasping for breath.
“Come and kill me if you dare!” Xiao Qi shouted angrily.
Yunshan and Yunhai stood beside him, feeling somewhat awkward, and said, “Seventh Master… the opponent is the King of Swords!… Being defeated by such a person isn’t embarrassing…”
Xiao Qi yelled, “What if he is a king! Even if he is supreme, he cannot humiliate me like this! A gentleman can be killed, but not insulted! What kind of nonsense is this?!”
Yunshan and Yunhai were speechless.
To be honest, today’s situation was indeed frustrating! Death was nothing to fear; everyone in the martial arts world knew that life and death were normal!
In the martial arts world, one either kills or gets killed!
But such naked humiliation… did not seem like the actions of a master.
Killing was merely a matter of life and death!
After cursing for a while, Xiao Qi’s emotions finally calmed slightly. He breathed heavily and said, “Damn!”
Yunshan and Yunhai felt a bit relieved and stepped forward, asking, “Seventh Master, are you alright?”
Xiao Qi felt discomfort in his chest and stomach, spitting out another mouthful of blood, gritting his teeth and saying, “I won’t die!”
Just then, four figures rushed in like a hurricane. Upon seeing Xiao Qi, disheveled and sitting on the ground spitting blood, the leading figure burst into laughter, “Xiao Qi! You bastard! Why aren’t you running now? Damn it, acting all mighty in front of Thirteenth Master! Did your ancestors from the Xiao family teach you this?!”
It was Ye Wubo!
It turned out Ye Wubo had chased them until he discovered flames blazing ahead. Rushing over, he realized it was the Xiao family’s branch! He was instantly overjoyed, especially seeing Xiao Qi in such a pitiful state, bloodied and tattered, his mood lifted even more.
This guy had used a life-burning secret technique and couldn’t last much longer!
