Peerless Genius System

Chapter 306: Completely Outclassed

“Arrghhh~”

He took a tremendous blow, and his body sailed back some distance before smashing into a pine tree that was as thick as a man’s thigh, uprooting it. He was struck so forcefully that it felt like he’d been hit by a freight train. He was thrown back like a doll, with his back facing upwards, and crashed into the ground, with the tree falling next to him. A stream of blood flowed from his opened mouth.

The man’s arms were both broken and bright, and fresh blood was splattered everywhere. His disfigured body laid motionlessly in a pool of blood, a lifeless corpse.

Another member of the Cobra mercenary corps now faced Xiao Luo, and his expression changed drastically. He looked at Xiao Luo’s fearsome demeanor and blood-drenched palms, and thought to himself, is that a man or a beast? How can he have such terrifying explosive powers?

“Looks like the NSA has slightly overestimated you!” Xiao Luo said, giving him a chilling glare.

As far as he was concerned, these mercenaries weren’t even at level B, as Long Sankui, who was rated a level B, was a much more formidable opponent.

“Hiyah!”

Despite knowing that he was no match for Xiao Luo, this member of Cobra mercenary corps roared viciously and leaped at Xiao Luo, delivering a series of attacking maneuvers with only a combat knife in his hand. Every slash and thrust was delivered with killing force. These mercenaries had lived on the edge all their lives, and they all shared a common trait—they had dignity, and their pride would not allow them to flee in defeat.

Xiao Luo comfortably dodged his attacking moves, and then, in a quick counter-attack, he parried a strike with his own black dagger.

Clank!

The distinctive ring of clashing steel blades echoed across the open ground, and an immense force recoiled back into the Cobra mercenary’s combat knife. The Cobra mercenary was suddenly unable to firmly grip his weapon as he watched it slip from his hand and drop to the ground. He saw blood oozing between his fingers and felt the pain as he realized the entire webbing between his thumb and forefinger had been ripped open by the wave of energy that surged from the clashing blades.

As he froze, still in shock, Xiao Luo delivered a swift punch, snapping his neck immediately.

Xiao Luo did a mental headcount of the Cobra mercenary corps and determined that one man still remained. And right at that moment, a chilling voice came from behind him.

“I have always been in awe of the Hua Nation as it is remarkably mysterious. I’m well aware that many past masters willingly disguised themselves as mere mortals, and remain hidden in many parts of this vast land. I never expect that our target this time to be one of them.”

Xiao Luo turned over and saw a huge bearded man. A sturdy-looking Caucasian standing at about 2 meters tall strode towards him from a distance. He was a giant of a man and held a hostage firmly next to him, and as Xiao Luo squinted to make out who it was, he realized that it was none other than Ji Siying.

Needless to say, this bearded man was the eighth member of Cobra mercenary corps. That was why Xiao Luo couldn’t find him earlier on, as he had quietly sneaked up onto Ji Siying.

“Release her!” Xiao Luo shouted, gritting his teeth.

“Release her?”

The bearded man looked at Ji Siying, her hands were bound firmly with a rope, and with his large hand, he clasped her by the collar. He laughed, shaking his head, and said, “No, no, she is my bargaining chip. If I release her, how can I complete my mission?”

“Release her, and I’ll let you die in one piece. If you don’t, I will rip you into eight pieces!” Xiao Luo’s icy voice carried across the field, and his eyes glowered with a dangerous glint that looked like he meant every word he said.

The bearded man laughed out loud, sounding like he had just heard a hilarious joke and said, “It seems that you haven’t figured out what the situation is now. Do I need to explain...”

His voice stopped abruptly. Without any warning, Xiao Luo rushed directly at him at incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Luo was right in front of him, poised for a strike. And suddenly, the black dagger was in his hand, aiming for the bearded man’s throat like the fang of a wild beast.

The attack happened so swiftly that the huge bearded man could not even parry the strike if he intended. Flustered and in a panic, he let go of Ji Siying and jumped back, opening up a distance of five to six meters between him and Xiao Luo.

Ji Siying was disoriented, and her vision was hazy. One moment a firm hand was grabbing her by the collar, and at the next moment, she was cuddled safely in a warm, protective embrace.

“Get back!”

Xiao Luo told Ji Siying as he let go of her.

The bearded man snorted in disdain, and his large frame bore toward Xiao Luo. He wielded a broad steel blade, and he suddenly slashed downward at Xiao Luo at an incredible speed, intent on taking Xiao Luo’s life in a single stroke. Aware of Xiao Luo’s prowess, he had no choice other than the advantage of a preemptive attack to disable his opponent.

Clink! Clink! Clink! Within a matter of several breath cycles, the two adversaries had exchanged dozens of consecutive blows. Xiao Luo parried the attacks with his short black dagger as sparks flew from the clashing blades.

After the intense exchange, they stood a few meters apart. The bearded man was gasping for air, but Xiao Luo was a picture of calm, and he breathed easily like someone on a stroll.

“I don’t need this to deal with you.”

Xiao Luo flung the black dagger to the ground. This man was supposedly rated at a level B soldier but was not worthy of his respect. Having just fought the other two men, he had a comprehensive understanding of their techniques and this man’s capabilities.

The corner of the huge bearded man’s mouth twitched as he felt his dignity being trampled upon.

“You will pay a hefty price for your arrogance! Hiyahhhhh!!!”

The veins on his forehead bulged, and a deep, deafening roar rumbled from his throat. He charged at Xiao Luo like a raging bull with a terrifying aura, intent on killing his foe. In five quick steps, he leaped high into the air, and the broadsword in his hand sliced across in an arch aimed directly at Xiao Luo’s skull.

Keeping his eyes on his attacker, Xiao Luo faintly snorted and clapped his hands above him.

CLANK, BAM!

A crisp explosive sound erupted from the impact, both a ringing of metal and a dull thunderous clap. The huge bearded man’s eyes protruded as he stared at the sight before him in disbelief. Xiao Luo had the steel broadsword sandwiched between his bare palms!

Ji Siying, observing the fight from a short distance away, was wide-eyed in shock. To be able to trap a swinging broadsword wielded by a Level B soldier–what level would he be in, Level S?

“Huh!”

Xiao Luo sneered, “You wish to complete with me? You are a little far behind!”

“Bullsh*t!”

The huge bearded man suddenly regained his senses and exerted all his strength, forcing the edge of the sword down towards Xiao Luo’s skull.

Xiao Luo inhaled slowly, and then in a sudden burst, he swiveled while shifting to his left, instantly releasing his grip on the blade and positioning himself beside the bearded man. Then pivoting on his left leg, he snapped his right leg across the bearded man’s abdomen like a whip.

POW!

Xiao Luo delivered the kick with an overwhelming force, surging across like a tsunami. The energy exploded into the body of the huge bearded man, and he turned pale and trembled before he was thrown back.

He was blown away like a cannonball, bringing down three pine trees before finally crashing hard. The broadsword left his hand and sailed away to fall into some bushes near the trees.

Ji Siying was in a stupor. The bearded man was a Level B mercenary, but he appeared so frail before Xiao Luo, just how was this possible!

If she had not witnessed this with her very own eyes, she would never have believed it.

Xiao Luo didn’t say a word as he strode ominously toward the fallen man. He raised the huge bearded man, now drenched in blood, from the bushes like he was lifting a puppy, and dumped him on the open ground.

He asked, “I suppose you can put me in touch with Khun Sa?”

The bearded man clenched his jaw, giving a look that he would rather die than submit.

“It looks like you have really tough bones. But it’s alright; I like to deal with tough guys. I hope you can continue to maintain your toughness.” Xiao Luo stepped away to pick up his black dagger, then walked back unhurriedly.

“Wh... what are you trying to do?” the huge bearded man muttered, almost whispering as he winced in pain.

“Relax, you’ll know later.”

Xiao Luo smiled as he held the man’s head with his left hand. He dragged the sharp tip of the dagger quickly around the top of the bearded man’s forehead. It was a surgical incision, seeming just to scratch the bone of the skull. The huge bearded man didn’t feel the pain, and it was no more than a sting. But, at the very next moment, he felt like he had been plunged into hell’s depths.
