Chapter 543 - Human-shaped monster
Xiao Luo was shocked! There was no record of Khun Sa’s style of martial arts registered in the system. Where Khun Sa had stood, there now appeared a monstrous ferocious man-beast. Khun Sa had morphed into this beast, with some torn shreds of his clothes still clinging onto his beast body.
It was three meters tall, and its entire body and its face were bulging with muscles. The monster’s face was full of muscular knots, and its eyes sunk deep into its sockets. Its mouth had become twice its original size, and there was a large amount of disgusting slime dripping from its nose. Its elongated and sharpened nails looked like daggers embedded in its hands.
Who would have guessed that this being here was Khun Sa, the head of the Mercenary Group? For he had transformed into this horrifying demon form.
“Boss!”
Xie Luo and Ku Lou looked visibly scared as they held their breath in wide-eyed horror. This wasn’t the first time they had seen his transformation–a few years ago, they had seen for the first time when Khun Sa, in his demon form, had taken down anyone in his way on a battlefield in East Africa. The memories of those horrifying scenes were still vivid in their minds. And what they recalled terrified them.
“Son of a b*tch, do you think that you are invincible after learning some cheap-*ss kung fu? I will tear you apart right now!”
Khun Sa bellowed at Xiao Luo while locking his eyes on him, and his loud voice was piercing and deafening. The man-beast then strode toward Xiao Luo aggressively like a mountain, and the ground shook with each heavy step he took.
Seeing Khun Sa approaching, Xiao Luo dashed forward and flew in midair to execute a Flying Dragon Palm strike. Using his inner strength to enhance the power of his strike, he struck his right palm with an enormous force directly on Khun Sa’s forehead.
It was swift and executed savagely with precision.
Khun Sa reacted with the deafening roar of a dragon. Sand and dust swirled about as if a raging tornado had hit the entire base.
Khun Sa moved slower in his massive man-beast form. He was not fast enough to get into a defensive stance and took a full direct hit on his forehead from Xiao Luo’s palm strike.
Instead of splitting Khun Sa’s head with his palm strike, Xiao Luo was momentarily surprised that he had struck a surface so hard that it felt he had hit a diamond-coated surface. Khun Sa’s head was still intact, and the man-beast was unfazed by that forceful strike that would have killed a lesser beast.
Xiao Luo slightly lifted an eyebrow hinting a sign of surprise, as he realized that Khun Sa was a force to be reckoned with. This man-beast was different from all his past enemies.
“ROAR!”
Khun Sa let out a ferocious growl and swung his right fist toward Xiao Luo’s chest with tremendous force.
KA-POW!
The impact of that powerful punch sent Xiao Luo flying backward, and he crashed into a concrete pillar. The pillar broke and smashed to the ground from the collision. Xiao Luo was sprawled on the floor with fallen debris all around him, and blood was spurting out from his mouth.
He felt awful as he kept coughing out blood. His vision started to turn blurry, and he felt immense pain as if his internal organs suffered unimaginable trauma.
Xiao Luo realized that he had underestimated the power of this man-beast, and he had sustained severe injuries merely by a single punch from Khun Sa. Xiao Luo needed to get his head together. He needed to focus as he now realized that this high ranking personnel from Blackwaters was a formidable opponent.
“Gulp!”
Xie Luo and Ku Lou swallowed their saliva as they cowered and broke into a cold sweat. No human could have survived from their boss’s punch. But as they see Xiao Luo get up from the ground, they were shocked that he was still alive and seemed unhurt. They looked at each other in awe. That man has a body made of steel. He had crushed a refined concrete-made pillar and was still standing while that pillar had broken into bits. Xiao Luo is a monster as well.
Khun Sa seemed to be winning the battle, and his men started to react with excitement. Xie Luo cheered loudly, “Boss, kill him, kill this son of a bitch!”
“Haha, haha…”
Khun Sa was laughing hysterically as he advanced on Xiao Luo. The ground shook as the giant man-beast walked with deliberate steps.
The notification sound of the system rang in his head as it indicated that he had completely healed. Xiao Luo wiped off the remaining blood from his mouth, and with his feet apart, he faced his opponent.
“You can still stand up?” Khun Sa uttered in shock.
Xiao Luo laughed mockingly. “You call that a punch? That was far from a killing blow,” he sneered.
Khun Sa laughed smugly. “Ah, that’s perfect. We have all the time to get into a sparring match,” he replied.
“Very well, let’s spar then!”
Xiao Luo’s face turned hard and cold as he launched through the air like a specter, attacking Khun Sa at such extreme speed.
Xiao Luo took several steps before he bounded in the air, then spun as he approached his opponent, his right leg lashed out in a succession of strikes aiming at Khun Sa’s temple.
The perfect combination of power and speed!
Xiao Luo landed the blow on Khun Sa’s temple with perfection. The speed in executing the kick was so intense that it created an energy storm that whirled through the area like a destructive force of nature.
Khun Sa stood his ground and did not move an inch after receiving the kick. “I have perfected the Hard Qi-Gong. There’s no way you can hurt me physically!” he scorned.
“Is that so?”
Xiao Luo used his teleporting power, appeared a few meters away to pick up a long sword on the ground, and then teleported behind Khun Sa. Xiao Luo channeled his inner power into the blade and hissed, “You old silly fool, die!”
Xiao Luo raised the sword with both hands and bore it down with all his might.
CLINK!
A flash of light like a rainbow reflected off the shining sword as it cut through the air to plunge into the back of Khun Sa’s head. The force of energy unleashed by Xiao Luo’s inner strength caused the entire base to tremble, shrouded in a swirling sandstorm with peals of crashing thunder.
Xie Luo and Ku Lou turned as white as a sheet as they stared at the scene before them. Both men in battle were from the Hua nation. How did this country mysteriously produce such terrifying kung fu experts?
When the energy storm subsided, and the dust settled, a gully was visible, gouged into the ground as a result of Xiao Luo’s assault.
Xiao Luo had used all his force in this attack, and he was stunned to see Khun Sa still standing like an impregnable mountain as sand and dust swirled around his body.
“I’ve said before. You cannot hurt me. Do you believe me now?”
Khun Sa turned around with a smirk on his face. He stretched his neck and said, “It’s my turn now.”
Like a provoked bull, he charged towards Xiao Luo immediately after he spoke. With his greater size and height of now three meters, he moved with unrivaled speed.
Xiao Luo quickly regained his composure. Khun Sa started his assault by slamming at Xiao Luo’s head and clawing at his chest. Xiao Luo countered the attacks with his sword.
CLINK! CLINK! CLINK!
Khun Sa used his clawed nails to defend himself from the sword, producing a metallic ring every time the weapons clashed. It showed the hardness of his claws.
The battle grew intense as they exchanged attacks with sword and claws in the midair. Khun Sa exuded terrifying power and became fiercer as the fight continued. He had gone into a full destroyer mode and was destroying everything in sight. He tore the walls apart as if they were as soft as beancurd. Strewn debris was everywhere on the ground as he rampaged through the base.
Xiao Luo had redeemed the Tyrant Sword from the system, which enhanced his hacking skills. He wielded the sword like a third arm with this skill and moved like a tsunami. His formidable attacks looked like waves crashing onto the rocks and were visually impressive.
