Chapter 631: Birds of a Feather

SLASH! SLASH!

Asou Shuyao was quick as she brandished two daggers that were so sharp, they could cut through thin silk. She launched her assault at Xiao Luo in a relentless series of slashes and jabs. She moved skillfully toward him in nimble steps.

“I’ll send you to hell, you filth! Now you die!” screamed Asou Shuyao endlessly. The hatred that loomed in her heart for Xiao Luo intensified her desire to kill him.

Xiao Luo’s lips curled into a wry smile. He looked amused as he dodged her blows skillfully, side-stepping to avoid the daggers, and delivering a high kick that landed right on the mark—the left half of Asou Shuyao’s face.

Asou Shuyao, who had been slashing manically with the daggers, was sent flying back, and her body crashed brutally onto the surface of the ground. Sprawled where she landed, she had a shoe print on her face, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

“You have swung a million times at me, and yet you cannot even handle one of my kicks.”

There was a mocking smile on Xiao Luo’s face. That kick was exceedingly satisfying, for he had wanted to teach this woman a proper lesson for the longest time.

“You scum!”

Asou Shuyao gritted her teeth as she dragged herself up from the ground. Then she lunged forward and charged toward Xiao Luo once more like a mother leopard protecting her young.

“Hmmm…”

Xiao Luo hummed lightly through his nose. The internal Qi energy within his body suddenly spiked, and he zipped through the distance that separated them at lightning speed, like a beast awakened from its slumber. In a split second, he appeared right in front of Asou Shuyao. He reached for her neck with his right hand and wrapped his fingers around her throat.

Startled by the speed of the sudden attack, Asou Shuyao could do nothing against it. Xiao Luo had grabbed her by the neck and slammed her against the sturdy walls of the temple.

BAM!

Her back smashed against the wall, and there was a crisp sound of cracking bones. Asou Shuyao let out a pitiful wail as blood gushed from her mouth and nose. Her exquisite face twisted in pain, and the daggers in her hands fell clattering to the floor.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to exchange blows with me a few days back? How is this, then? Are you satisfied?” Xiao Luo mocked.

Asou Shuyao blanched, staring at Xiao Luo in horror.

What terrifying power he possessed. This man is formidable!

He had defeated her so thoroughly that she did not even have the chance to retaliate. It all happened in a split second. At that moment, a horrifying chill enveloped her—Xiao Luo was formidable! She had been so consumed by her rage the entire time that it got to her head. She suddenly realized that there was such an enormous gap in skill between the two of them.

“You will do well to remember this. Hua Nation today is no longer like the Qing Dynasty of old. Sometimes, you pay the price for the things you say. Consider yourself lucky. Your Asou family was not involved in the genetic engineering experimentation, or else, Asou Jiro’s castration would have been the least of your concerns. I would have wiped out your entire bloodline!” said Xiao Luo. His voice was cold and emotionless. He sounded like he had come from the depths of hell.

Asou Shuyao’s heart thumped, and her chest tightened. Xiao Luo had a firm grip on her neck, and she could barely let a single word out. She only stared at him with eyes that were filled with fear, for this man seemed like he had come straight out of hell.

Xiao Luo said nothing more. With his hand still on her neck, he slammed her viciously against the wall once again.

“OOOF!”

Blood poured out her mouth, and Asou Shuyao let out a pitiful scream before passing out with her head slumped at an unnatural angle.

Xiao Luo loosened his hold, and Asou Shuyao slid from the wall to the ground like a heap.

“Hands in the air, Xiao Han!”

There was a loud voice resounding from behind him. Xiao Luo turned around and saw Miyazaki Ronjin standing at the entrance to the hall. He had both hands holding a gun pointed right at Xiao Luo. Outside, the sound of the Self-Defense Force could be heard assembling quickly in front of the entrance.

“How is the injury, Department Head Ronjin?” questioned Xiao Luo, as if asking after an old friend. He paid no mind to the gun.

“There is no need for you to concern yourself with that. I said, hands in the air!” Miyazaki Ronjin bellowed again.

The hurried farewell at the hospital had given him an uncomfortable feeling that something like this would happen, but he did not expect it to have come true. This man had turned the whole of Dongjing into a forest, and he had become the hunter. He disregarded their laws and assassinated the people from a list he carried. These people that he targeted were those who filled senior administrative roles in the Ri Nation. He took them out one after the other, and this included Koizumi Junichiro, the seventh name on that list. This man was a cold-blooded killing machine.

“Don’t you want to know why I killed him?” Xiao Luo pointed at Koizumi Junichiro, smiling in amusement.

“Because he was involved ]n the genetic engineering facility on the holy mountain,” Miyazaki Ronjin replied.

Xiao Luo expressed surprise, but he smiled and said, “So you know. What do you think? You think I did the right thing?”

“I don’t. Whatever the reason, no one is above the law. Killing other people is unlawful.”

Miyazaki Ronjin said, “Since you had already uncovered the reason behind the disappearance of those Hua citizens, why didn’t you call the police? All of us at the police department would ensure justice for the Hua Nation victims. That is the only correct action to take, abiding by the law.”

“Even your chief, Tanaka Hiroshi, was in on this. Do you think that I will still be able to trust your police department?” Xiao Luo laughed coldly.

“But that doesn’t mean you can kill those people!” Miyazaki Ronjin hollered fiercely.

“Is that so? Then why did you barge into the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters to slaughter those people all by yourself, those years back?” Xiao Luo retorted.

When Miyazaki Ronjin heard this, his body trembled uncontrollably. The images of his wife and daughter lying dead in their own home floated back into his mind. He had a death wish and binged on drugs like a madman, hellbent on dying after that dreadful incident. He was running on nothing more than vengeance-fueled rage as he charged into the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters and laid waste to the place.

The memory shocked him, but when he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that the spot where Xiao Luo had been standing was now empty. Before he could focus his gaze, he felt a hand patting him on his shoulder.

“Honestly, we are birds of the same feather. The only difference between us is that you are a police officer. And I am not bound by any identity. If it were you, I believe you would make the same choice as I did.” Xiao Luo spoke into his ear.

Hearing those words, Miyazaki Ronjin was dumbstruck. A cold sweat broke out and trickled down his forehead. Xiao Luo suddenly appeared right beside him in a split second, and this was far more terrifying than seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

“If not for this incident, I believe we could have become good friends. With that said, I still hope that you won’t have a gun pointed right at me the next time you meet me. It is no use against me, and it will displease me!” Xiao Luo said in a halfhearted tone, staring at Miyazaki Ronjin from the corner of his eye.

Miyazaki Ronjin did not dare to move an inch. Not that he did not want to. Xiao Luo’s aura had been so immense and terrifying that it was as if his legs weighed down by a thousand-pound force. His legs felt like they had turned into stones, and he could not move them at all. Other than the cold sweat streaming down his head, he was as still as a statue.

“Alright then, that’s it for today. I better get going!”

Xiao Luo patted him on the shoulder lightly, swaggering out as he took his leave.

Oi Oshima led the Self-Defense Force. Armed to the teeth, they stormed into the temple from every direction. He paid no attention to the man who had a small smile on his face, one who looked every inch like a Kannushi. He did not have the slightest suspicion about that man. So, Oi Oshima passed right by him and charged straight into the hall.

When he saw Koizumi Junichiro lying dead right there in the hall, the muscles in his face twitched. He clutched at Miyazaki Ronjin’s collar as he shouted, “What happened? Where is the man? Where is this mysterious murderer Xiao Han?”

“That was him, the Kannushi who just walked out,” Miyazaki Ronjin responded in a daze, like someone whose soul had just left his body.Damn it!Oi Oshima turned pale. He immediately spoke into his in-ear comm-set and ordered the teams stationed at the main gate of the shrine to cut Xiao Luo off. From his end, he led the team he had brought and moved as fast as they could in the direction the Kannushi had left.
