Chapter 716: Chapter 716: I Saw a Demon

Book Chapter 716: I Saw a Demon (Update 4)

“I once played around with the police, soldiers, and security guards in a country and a city – and I ended up coming back in one piece,” Lin added.

Xiao Yu glanced at the Masked Man before him and curled his lip disdainfully. “Do you really think these people can compare to an entire city’s military, police, and security personnel?”

The Masked Man fell silent.

His anxious eyes and trembling body left no doubt about it.

He was scared!

And that was perfectly normal.

After all, he was facing a creature that seemed anything but human.

That very creature still stood before him.

So, tell me – are you afraid?

“By the way…”

Xiao Yu glared coldly. “The person I’m looking for isn’t you!”

The Masked Man’s body convulsed suddenly as a strange glimmer appeared in his eyes.

It was an expression of utter disbelief mixed with confusion.

It felt as if he had been stripped completely bare – vulnerable and exposed – standing before Xiao Yu.

“Aren’t you curious how I found out?”

Xiao Yu sneered. “A body double – even though your voice sounds just like his, I can tell you’re not him. I’ve heard his voice over the phone. Once I hear a voice, I never forget it!”

The words ‘never forget’ had been spoken…

But in a different tone.

A tone of refined calm and elegance.

Ability: Imitation Expert.

Skill: Kingfisher’s Cry.

Xiao Yu had flawlessly mimicked the criminal’s voice from their phone conversation.

The Masked Man’s eyes widened in horror as he stared incredulously at Xiao Yu.

“But that’s not even the point. The point is…”

Xiao Yu pointed to the crowd suddenly charging at him and said calmly, “If these people were your subordinates, why would they risk their lives to attack me?”

“No…”

The Masked Man roared, trying to retreat.

But…

“Just remember in your next life – don’t show your face in front of me again.”

Xiao Yu raised his arm and slapped the Masked Man hard across the face. “I’m dangerous!”

Instead of a ‘smack,’ the sound was more like a ‘crack’.

The Masked Man’s neck snapped short, his face twisted around and drooped limply.

Xiao Yu looked down at the Masked Man’s body crumpled on the ground.

A display meant to send a message to all.

The Masked Man was merely a chicken; the charging mob, monkeys.

With that slap, the Masked Man was dispatched.

Suddenly, the attackers slammed on the brakes – those in the front halted while others crashed into them.

The frontliners lost their balance, falling over.

Once down, their bodies were trampled by those behind them.

In an instant, screams of agony filled the air as over a dozen people were swallowed by the crushing crowd.

The stampede was terrifying.

When dozens were crushed under a single person, the tragic outcome needs no further description.

Xiao Yu smiled.

He was thoroughly satisfied with his display of deterrence.

In battle, brute force isn’t enough – one must also use their head.

Otherwise, what’s the point of having one?

But there were simply too many trying to attack Xiao Yu.

Even if a dozen fell, there were still over eighty charging at him.

So… Xiao Yu began to retreat.

Suddenly, he lunged forward!

Like a wild beast, he charged into the mob.

Boom!

His body collided with one person, shattering countless bones, sending them flying into others behind – toppling five or six more in the process.

In the midst of the collision, the cleaver from that person’s hand flew directly into Xiao Yu’s grasp.

Amidst the crowd, Xiao Yu swung his arm.

A single, swift slash!

No one could describe the speed, the power, or the sheer terror of that strike.

In an instant, five necks were severed, with heads rolling on the ground.

Then, an eerie silence fell.

Countless onlookers stared dumbfounded at the five headless corpses.

They watched in horror as the severed heads bounced and rolled on the floor.

Terrified!

Is there anyone in this world who isn’t afraid of death?

Few – barely one in ten thousand.

Clearly, these people were no exception.

They dared attack Xiao Yu only because they outnumbered him.

Numbers gave them courage.

Numbers made them fearless.

And numbers made them think they could easily kill Xiao Yu.

But… that didn’t mean they weren’t afraid of death or that they wanted to die.

When five bloodied heads and five headless corpses were laid before them,

all their courage and fearlessness vanished completely.

The terror of death took over their minds and bodies.

But… it wasn’t over yet!

As Xiao Yu raised the cleaver once more,

the blade flashed by.

Three more heads flew off, falling to the ground…

“Ah!”

“Run…”

Screams and shouts rang out.

The group that once encircled Xiao Yu now scattered like petals in the wind, fleeing in every direction.

A broader smile spread across Xiao Yu’s face.

This is what villains are all about.

Being kind in front of evildoers is the height of pathetic cowardice.

You only stand a chance by being worse, more vicious, and more ruthless than they are.

That’s what terrifies criminals.

Weak hearts can’t lead an army of the righteous.

Good people simply aren’t cut out to be enforcers!

Xiao Yu sprang into action.

Moving with lightning speed, he dashed to a large door – the exit of an enormous basement.

With a swift backhand slash!

Thud… another head flew off as another body crumpled to the ground.

“Everyone, cover your heads with both hands…”

Raising his hand, cleaver pointed at the crowd in the basement hall as Xiao Yu bellowed, “Kneel!”

Countless people fell back.

Even more dropped to their knees.

One man turned to look for another exit.

But Xiao Yu appeared right before him.

Smack!

The man’s head was severed.

Then another tried to run.

And his head fell off too…

After Xiao Yu dispatched two more with his cleaver, everyone present – aside from the injured who had been trampled – knelt without a word.

They resembled quails cowering before a giant dragon – heads bowed and trembling.

The seemingly ruthless Xiao Yu let out a long, deep breath.

He had controlled himself!

He wasn’t a cold-blooded murderer. Did he really think he enjoyed killing?

But sometimes, people just can’t help themselves.

It was a truly tragic story!

Although he hadn’t found that ‘Divine Emissary’,

capturing a large number of ‘Divine Followers’ from the ‘Divine Organization’ was no small feat.

What troubled Xiao Yu even more was that he had to kill so many while apprehending so many at the same time.

Wang Dong must be terrified as well, right?

Just as Xiao Yu was about to figure out how to contact Wang Dong and the others,

suddenly,

“Ah… Ha… Hoo…”

A chorus of wailing and howling filled the air.

Xiao Yu realized the world in his eyes had changed.

In an instant, the heavens and earth were plunged into darkness.

In the endless dark,

a huge silhouette slowly materialized before him.

Upon seeing that terrifying figure, Xiao Yu smiled.

I can’t believe it – I actually saw a demon!

Can you believe it?
