Chapter 568 Decisively Facing Death
Just as Xiao Shun carried Mei out of the room, three sorrowful-looking strong men suddenly appeared not far away. Xiao Shun had not seen these three individuals before, but he figured they must be under Tan Haohan’s command, and they were quite skilled.
“Tian…” At that moment, a sorrowful tone suddenly erupted from the leader of the men.
“Tian!” the other two also called out with sorrowful expressions.
Immediately, the leader of the strong men turned his gaze, glaring fiercely at Xiao Shun. His eyes revealed a fierce look as he coldly said, “Xiao Shun, for killing my younger brother, Tan Jitong, I will be your enemy till the end!”
“Did they participate?” Xiao Shun ignored the intimidation and instead lowered his head to look at Mei in his arms.
Mei didn’t answer, but her body trembled slightly.
Looking at the girl curled up in his arms, Xiao Shun felt an immense anger rising within himself. He furrowed his brow and looked at the three men not far away, saying each word with emphasis, “None of you will live today!”
Tan Jitong and the others looked at each other as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world. As Tan Haohan’s close bodyguards, they were exceptionally skilled, especially Tan Jitong, also known as Tan Laoer.
Tan Jitong’s family was a branch of the Tan family in the northern desert. Although his family had declined, he had inherited the true legacy of the Thunderous Tan Leg, even matching the direct descendants of the Tan family. His cultivation had already reached the level of a grandmaster in the martial arts world, and he was on the verge of the Foundation stage, possessing unparalleled strength!
The one whose head was just cut off by Xiao Shun’s sword was Tan Jitong’s own brother, Tan Minghan. His skills were indeed inferior to his brother’s, otherwise, he wouldn’t have died so cleanly, without even a chance to react.
“Just you?” Tan Jitong stared coldly at Xiao Shun.
Xiao Shun shook his head, a hint of disdain in his smile.
Suddenly, his figure disappeared in front of everyone, leaving Tan Jitong and the others horrified.
“Pong, be on guard!” Tan Jitong shouted, reminding his brothers to be vigilant. He instantly extended his consciousness to try and detect the enemy’s whereabouts.
Unfortunately, Xiao Shun’s movements were extremely swift. Despite Tan Jitong’s keen perception, he couldn’t pinpoint Xiao Shun’s location.
A cold sweat ran down Tan Jitong’s temples, and he realized the seriousness of the situation. He had heard rumors about Xiao Shun from Tan Haohan, knowing that he was a formidable practitioner. However, he hadn’t taken it seriously at the time, but now, it seemed quite alarming.
“Buzz!” Just as Tan Jitong was shocked, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from above, accompanied by a piercing, chilling sound.
“Bang!” Before he could even look, a spray of blood burst out beside him. The blood splattered on his face, still warm, but Tan Jitong’s heart froze.
“Pong!” With Tan Jitong’s roar, Pong, who had been on full alert beside him, now collapsed limply to the ground.
Li Cunxi, also known as Lao Liu, saw Pong’s head completely shattered and exclaimed, “Pong, you…”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
But before he could finish his sentence, his head had already separated from his neck, spinning in mid-air with an endless look of astonishment before finally crashing heavily to the ground.
With the sound of the head hitting the ground, Xiao Shun’s figure reappeared.
In the short time he disappeared, only a few seconds had passed, yet Tan Haohan’s two powerful bodyguards were already dead.
What frightened Tan Jitong even more was that he hadn’t even seen how Xiao Shun had made his move!
Watching Tan Jitong’s face turn pale, Xiao Shun sneered, “Your turn!”
At these words, Tan Jitong’s expression changed, and he immediately turned and rushed towards the warehouse door.
He wasn’t a fool. Faced with such a fierce opponent, he was no match. Going up against him would only lead to a dead end. Right now, his only hope for survival lay with his boss!
“Do you think you can escape?” With that, Xiao Shun laughed mockingly at Tan Jitong’s fleeing figure.
After witnessing Mei’s ordeal earlier that day, Xiao Shun had resolved to kill all those who had defiled her. He had already killed four, and there was no way he would let the fifth one go.
In an instant, a silver needle, gleaming with a faint light, shot out of Xiao Shun’s hand. The needle struck Tan Jitong’sback of his head, then emerged from the front of his forehead, causing a gush of blood.
“Thud!” Tan Jitong’s body unwillingly collapsed to the ground, not having had a chance to make a move.
However, facing Xiao Shun, even with his formidable skills, Tan Jitong’s fate was sealed.
After this battle, six out of Tan Haohan’s seven bodyguards had died in some way related to Xiao Shun. After all, Five had died at the hands of Duan Jia.
“Why?” Suddenly, Xiao Shun lowered his head to look at Mei in his arms, a trickle of blood slowly dripping from his hand to the ground.
“I’m a dirty woman. My existence only brings shame to Yu!” Mei’s face at this moment was no longer expressionless, but carried a trace of relieved beauty as she smiled.
Seeing this, Xiao Shun furrowed his brow and said softly, “The ones who are dirty are not you, but those men.”
With that, he immediately squatted down to place Mei on the ground, then swiftly opened the coat draped over her. A large pool of blood was exposed to the dim light, flowing from Mei’s heart, where a dagger was inserted.
At the moment when Xiao Shun had just killed Tan Jitong, Mei had finally witnessed the deaths of those beasts with her own eyes. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Having seen those who had insulted her die, Mei was already content. At this point, all she desired was death.
“I promised Qin Yu that I would do everything in my power to take you back! I’m not someone who makes promises lightly, so you can’t die now!” As he spoke, three more silver needles suddenly appeared in Xiao Shun’s hand. Immediately, he aimed at three acupoints on Mei’s body and stabbed down.
However, just as he was about to insert the last needle into Mei, she vigorously used her hand to deflect the needle.
