“Hehehe…”
Blond disregarded the pistol pointed at him, his face twisted into a feral smile with bulging flesh as he glared menacingly at Xiao Yu. Lin
“Why laugh? At a time like this, you should try returning fire—and what, you think just testing it will work?”
Xiao Yu extended his other hand and gently tapped Blond’s cheek. “Not painful?” he remarked with a resonant sound. “Why aren’t you playing by the rules?”
“How about putting the gun down then?”
Blond’s eyes widened, veins bulging, his gaze turning ferocious as he glared at Xiao Yu. “You think I won’t break your legs?”
“Ha ha,” Xiao Yu laughed.
He carefully retracted his gun and ejected the magazine.
Then, one by one, he slid out each bullet from the magazine.
Methodically disassembling the pistol into parts, he tossed them to the ground.
“I really don’t believe it,” Blond muttered.
Xiao Yu smirked at Blond. “Come on, try breaking my leg. If you can’t break it today, then I’ll break yours!”
Everyone around him: …
They watched Xiao Yu and Blond as if observing two lunatics.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
Blond burst into wild laughter, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yu as if he were an idiot. “Let’s get him!”
At these words, five burly men quickly closed in, encircling Xiao Yu.
Three of them brandished knives while the other two pulled out pistols.
Witnessing the scene, Hua Kang’s expression shifted dramatically—outrage mixed with disbelief and a trace of helplessness.
Hua Kang’s every expression was etched in Xiao Yu’s mind.
By that moment, he had finally resolved it.
Hua Kang was indeed an undercover agent.
No betrayal!
Facing two guns and three knives with death so near, Xiao Yu simply chuckled.
A sudden surge of inexplicable joy compelled him to act.
And so he did.
In that single step, he transformed into a human weapon.
Xiao Yu had always been a weapon incarnate.
The strongest knife of National Security!
In a flash, Xiao Yu grabbed the wrist of one of the burly men.
Snap!
Before the man could even react, his hand bones shattered, causing his knife to slip and drop.
To Xiao Yu, close-quarters combat was the true art of manliness.
In melee, cold weapons were far superior to firearms.
Grip and swing the knife.
Thwack, thwack, thwack!
Three swift slashes descended from above.
Severing one of the man’s wrists and cutting two tendons in his leg.
All executed in less than two seconds.
The others barely had time to react.
Before they could even decide their next move,
Xiao Yu struck again.
He crashed into another gun-wielding man.
The two bodies collided with brutal simplicity.
Crack!
Xiao Yu’s shoulder collided harshly with the man’s ribcage.
“Ugh…” the man grunted as he bent over.
Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack… four distinct sounds rang out.
In a blink, amidst the dance of blades,
the man’s tendons in both arm and leg were severed.
Then,
the first of the men attacked by Xiao Yu let out a piercing, agonizing scream.
But Xiao Yu had already reached the third gunman’s side.
A flash of blade traced a chilling arc upward, slashing across the man’s body.
Blood splattered everywhere!
The fourth burly man recoiled in terror, trying to retreat.
Too late.
Xiao Yu pounced in front of him before the man could even register a response.
First his arms, then his legs.
In less than a second, the man crumpled, his screams echoing in pain.
The fifth brute stood there in stunned silence, knife in hand, paralyzed with fear.
But Xiao Yu, now in full killing mode, spared him no mercy.
Both his arms and legs were severed!
Rising from the fallen man’s side, Xiao Yu casually strolled toward Hua Kang, Blond, and Glasses Man, who were all rendered speechless.
The floor was awash with blood from five men whose limbs had been brutally torn apart, their agonized wails filling the air.
Xiao Yu’s massacre left the entire scene in shock.
The bar erupted into chaos—screams and frantic panics ensued as people scattered.
Everyone fled in terror; no one dared to linger near that grotesque, blood-soaked scene.
Blond stood there, dazed.
Even as Xiao Yu approached him, he remained in a stupor.
The mere seconds that had just passed—perhaps only seconds?
He had witnessed every bit of Xiao Yu’s bloodshed, his sudden outburst of brutal force and cold-blooded cruelty.
A shiver of terror surged from within Blond, making his body tremble uncontrollably.
He had always thought of himself as fearless—dauntless and ruthless.
But…
After watching Xiao Yu’s carnage, Blond realized
that compared to Xiao Yu, he wasn’t just a weakling,
he was downright foolish!
He questioned himself: Who dared give me the courage to challenge a brute like that?
Until a bloodstained hand gently patted Blond’s face,
snapping him out of his daze.
“I gave you a chance,” Xiao Yu said.
Smiling, he patted Blond’s pale, terror-stricken face. “Seems like you’re pretty useless, huh?”
“No…”
Blond let out a piercing scream, trying to retreat.
Crack!
Mid-retreat, Blond collapsed.
A foot crushed and broke his lower leg.
“Ah!” Blond cried out in agony as he fell.
Crack!
His other leg was also snapped.
“In this world, you must keep your word,”
Xiao Yu said flatly as he slowly knelt beside Blond, slashing twice with his knife to sever Blond’s arms. Grinning fiercely, he added, “I said I’d break your legs, and that’s exactly what I’ll do!”
Blond could no longer respond.
Overwhelmed by pain, he lost consciousness.
Even as he fainted, his body convulsed uncontrollably from the agony.
Xiao Yu steadily rose and walked toward Glasses Man, whose face was deathly pale. Calmly he asked, “Why didn’t you run?”
“…”
Glasses Man tried to compose himself, but when faced with Xiao Yu, he trembled slightly. “I now believe you aren’t a cop. Even Brother Kang was rescued. Cops wouldn’t be this ruthless or commit such atrocities!”
“Oh?”
Xiao Yu glanced at Hua Kang, whose expression was strangely unreadable, then slowly turned to Glasses Man with a half-smile and asked, “Do you know why I spared you?”
“I do,”
Glasses Man, adopting a humble tone, admitted, “Earlier when you pointed your gun at Kang, my pistol wasn’t uncocked!”
He was thankful that it hadn’t been uncocked.
Otherwise, his fate would have been the same as Blond and those five men.
“I appreciate smart people!”
Xiao Yu laughed and patted Glasses Man on the shoulder. “Do your job well for Brother Kang in the future.”
“Yes!” Glasses Man replied respectfully with a slight nod.
At that moment, Hua Kang stood up.
“Let’s go. We can’t stay here any longer!”
