Chapter 44 - 44 – Leo’s Specialty
Chapter 44 - 44 – Leo’s Specialty
Jessica moved her hands. Threads extended from her fingertips and wrapped around their necks like snakes before tightening around their flesh like a noose, choking them instantly and cutting their windpipe, depriving them of their lives in an instant.
Not even Qi could protect them from an ultrasonic vibration capable of tearing apart human skin tissue.
They were dead within seconds.
The fight didn’t stop.
More enemies flooded towards them after seeing the two die instantly. They wanted revenge against the attackers that killed their allies.
"Deranged Tang Clan! How dare you attack us. We did nothing at all! Everything that happened was all your fault!"
A man wearing a tattered robe appeared from within the wall. His beard was long and scraggy while his hair was messy and unkempt. He looked like a beggar more than an evil bandit with his sickly yellow complexion and gaunt face.
"Yeun Dae-Ho!"
Tang Yao shouted the name of the bandit. A name that rang in Central Plain as one of the feared 6 Stars martial artists who roamed the land in search for treasures and resources.
He was known as one of the most powerful martial artists in Green Forest Bandit, hence his name was feared throughout many clans and sects.
"Is it you?" Yeun Dae-Ho narrowed his eyes like a predator at Tang Yao and the other members of Tang Clan as he examined them carefully, "What’s your name?"
"Tang Yao," Tang Yao answered coldly and raised his sword, "I shall destroy Green Forest Bandit and return peace to Central Plain."
"What arrogance." Yeun Dae-Ho replied coldly as he snorted and laughed mockingly, "Who do you think you are? Returning peace to the Central Plain? This is Murim. No one can bring peace to Murim. Everyone is a slave to their desires and craves for power!"
"Our clan will bring peace to this world!"
Tang Yao declared firmly as he tightened his grip on his sword.
"Hah! Show me how much power you have now!" Yeun Dae-ho laughed loudly as he pointed at Tang Yao, "Kill them all!"
The rest of Green Forest Bandit members charged towards them after hearing his order, trying to kill as many warriors from Tang Clan as possible before killing him. 10 vs 20.
Overwhelmed by numbers, the Tang Clan members retreated back while defending against their enemies’ attacks with their swords and shields. But they couldn’t last long with such low numbers, soon being forced back against the wall.
Yeun Dae-Ho’s Qi flared as he charged toward them while sending a barrage of Qi bullets towards them.
Tang Yao blocked it with his sword and parried against his attack, clashing against his blade while defending himself with his. Qi covered his blade while he struck with quick slashes towards the enemy’s chest.
But the bandit was stronger than he expected, easily blocking every blow by sending counter attacks that hit his shoulders and arms, cutting deep into his flesh and causing blood to gush out of his wounds.
Without realizing it, a big hole had been drilled right through his body and out of his chest.
"Wha-" Yeun Dae-Ho couldn’t believe what he saw. "Jang Tae-Ho?"
His friend...his fellow comrade in crime...died before he could even blink.
"Eh...Jang Tae-Ho!" He cried out in anger and sorrow as he watched his companion fall lifelessly onto the ground, blood pouring from his wounds while his eyes turned red.
Unable to contain his anger, Yeun Dae-Ho’s Qi flared violently around him as he screamed hysterically before charging toward Leo while swinging his sword. His movements were fast and precise like a gale.
Leo prepared to take him on directly. He raised his left hand, covered in the bodysuit, and took the attack directly. He grabbed the Qi-covered blade with his left hand without flinching as sparks flew when they collided against each other.
A surprise was apparent on Yeun Dae-Ho’s face. He certainly never expected his attack to be stopped by a bare hand. Not even blood could be seen from where they clashed together.
Using his leg as a pivot, Leo kicked his enemy in the stomach.
"Gah!"
The impact sent Yeun Dae-Ho flying away. He crashed against a nearby tree as dust scattered in every direction before falling onto his knees while coughing violently. Blood sprayed out from his mouth along with broken teeth and saliva mixed together.
His internal organs were damaged badly but he managed to stay alive thanks to his strong vitality and his Qi.
However, Leo wasn’t kind enough to let him recover.
"Jessica."
"Yes, Leader."
The secretary suddenly appeared behind Yeun Dae-Ho. Her threads were moving like snakes towards the enemy’s neck. It wrapped around his throat tightly, cutting through his skin and muscles while ripping apart his veins and arteries until blood spurted out of them freely.
"C-Coward. You call yourself a martial artist?!"
Yeun Dae-Ho used his last strength to grab onto the threads with his hands, trying to break free from its grasp. However, they were too strong to be easily broken off. His body trembled uncontrollably as he struggled desperately in vain.
"I never call myself one."
With that said, Jessica activated the vibration and cut his head off cleanly. Blood spurted out from his severed head before falling onto the ground lifelessly while his body collapsed as well, lifeless and unmoving.
One of Green Forest Bandit’s main forces was dead. The remaining ambush team noticed their sub-leader was dead and got their morale crushed.
Noticing it, Tang Yao gave out his order.
"Kill them all!"
