Chapter 1151: Chapter 1120: Never Saw You as Human
The lights flickered in the hall, shadows scattered to both sides in an instant, leaving Xiao Lin an open passage. They looked warily at this sudden stranger, weapons ready and aimed in Xiao Lin’s direction without exception. At the forefront of this crowd sat a person on a vintage redwood chair—Xiao Lin’s ultimate target for today, Wang Weibo!
"Impressive, impressive! You dare come alone to take me on, and you’ve already killed quite a few of my men. Do you know what kind of place this is?" Wang Weibo showed no fear toward the person before him. On the contrary, he remained in a good mood, legs crossed, right hand rhythmically tapping on the chair’s armrest.
Xiao Lin’s lips curled slightly under his mask. "What’s so arrogant about the remnants of the Wang Family? You’re merely a petty ’Dragon Subdue,’ a nice name but weak in strength."
The deliberate provocation did not shake Wang Weibo in the slightest. Cunning as ever, he beckoned Xiao Lin over. "Brother, since you’re here, why not share your motive? You’ve killed the people, done the deed, and I fear you won’t be able to escape. I’m someone who values loyalty, unlike my uncles. They don’t understand the worth of talents like you. You’re quite formidable, why not work for me instead? Being an assassin is a dead-end profession."
So it seems this person mistook Xiao Lin for an assassin sent to kill him. Xiao Lin wanted to laugh but soon steadied himself, glancing over at the surroundings. The previously scattered men now encircled him tightly as he approached Wang Weibo, blocking all best escape routes.
"Ha ha!" Realizing Xiao Lin noticed the men behind him, Wang Weibo burst into wild laughter. "Brother, you’re strong. You can fight hundreds, but those men behind you are armed. You’re fast and strong, but how do you compare to bullets?" He changed his sitting position, resting his right foot over his left knee this time. "I’m even-tempered, generous to those who listen. But to those who don’t, we send them to meet King Yama, maybe light a stick of incense to bless me well. Hahaha!"
This man is unbelievably arrogant! That was Xiao Lin’s initial impression, and the desire to eliminate him grew stronger.
"I can understand human speech, but I’m not fluent in ghost talk."
Raising an eyebrow, Wang Weibo realized this person had no intention to listen, categorizing him among the dead.
"Kid, do you know what you’re saying? Don’t regret when you’re screaming for mercy later because I can’t stop those men behind you!"
"I don’t see you as living people!"
"What?" At this, Wang Weibo couldn’t sit still and leapt up, shouting at Xiao Lin. "Who the hell are you, and who sent you?"
"No need to know that. As you do, heaven watches. That’s all you need to understand!"
Delivering such people to the police ends like with Genovis—spent a few years inside, living well, then bribed for reduced sentences and released. At worst, they hire a lookalike, flee until things blow over, and return. Such occurrences are rampant in the criminal underworld, frequent as ever, not to mention Wang Weibo being Wang Zhanting’s watchdog, under Quan Xianglin’s formidable backing. Xiao Lin had no faith that normal means would achieve his goals.
"You, were you sent by Genovis?" Wang Weibo continued to speculate, but seeing the immovable figure before him, he jumped back behind the chair, leaving the space for those behind him.
A sudden gust swept by his back as Xiao Lin dodged swiftly. He didn’t care who his opponents were, nor if Wang Weibo might attempt escape. Once his prey was tagged with death, escaping was impossible.
His shoulders slightly shrugged, and without warning, he charged at the crowd ahead from such a short distance. These ’Dragon Subdue’ subordinates were unable to withstand Xiao Lin’s attack, not to mention drawing their weapons.
Before they could prepare, Xiao Lin was upon them. His left hand wielding a sharp spike moved viciously, stabbing one on the left precisely in the throat, splattering flesh and blood amidst a crackling sound. While the spike in his left hand moved, Xiao Lin planted his left foot firmly, halting abruptly. Immediately, his right foot swung up at another’s knee.
Crack... The entire right leg suddenly formed a chilling "V" shape. The pain didn’t end there. As he wailed and staggered, Xiao Lin bent his right leg, his hard knee smashing into the man’s chin. Amidst the muffled cracking sound, he was mercilessly flipped into the air once more.
Bang! The spike relentlessly plunged into the man’s ankle, followed by a scream, as Xiao Lin, holding this human weapon, brutally and bloodily smashed him toward the crowd ahead.
Xiao Lin’s assault sent them scurrying in disarray, panicked and dodging while screaming. Those intending to shoot found themselves holding their screaming, living brothers, unsure how to act.
Yet, as they hesitated, Xiao Lin granted them no chance to think. His steps moved rapidly, aligning swift body techniques with cunning hand movements. As ’Dragon Subdue’ subordinates scattered in panic, the slender spike drew a swift and deadly arc across their throats without mercy.
In the hall, within minutes, the slaughter ended without a single bullet fired. Swinging a damaged corpse in a semi-circle, Xiao Lin shouted fiercely at the last thin man ahead, brutally smashing him. The force stumbled him, sending him sprawling to the side, but before he landed, Xiao Lin sprang, spinning in the air, landing atop him. The left hand spike appeared again, grabbing his hair, the sharp tip piercing the carotid artery with a puff, splattering blood everywhere, covering Xiao Lin’s body.
Severing the unfortunate man’s head, holding it in hand, Xiao Lin slowly approached the stunned Wang Weibo. Strangely, the blood covering him seemed to be absorbed and evaporated, turning into tiny particles adhering to his clothes, from bright red to pink, finally blending into black as if no trace had ever been splattered upon him.
