Chapter 453: Courting death

Xiao Luo didn’t move at all, and there was a confident look in his eyes as he silently gazed at the three ferocious guard dogs.

The fearsome dogs rushed towards him, baring their sharp fangs, but suddenly slowed down when they were roughly two meters away. It was like they were running on ice and couldn’t control their balance after coming to an emergency halt. They eventually stopped at a distance of barely half a meter away from him.

Dogs are intelligent animals, and it was evident that they could detect dangers that a normal human being couldn’t.

They sat on the ground and looked fearfully at Xiao Luo. Being under the gaze of those human eyes was similar to being in the sight of some ferocious prowling beast, and they could readily detect his dangerous aura.

“Get lost!”

Xiao Luo growled in a voice like thunder.

“Yelp!”

As if being boiled in water, the three dogs let out panicked and fearful howls and fled back toward their respective handlers. There was a clear distinction between how the dogs behaved now and before, growling ferociously and baring sharp fangs earlier. Now, they were whining and scuttling away like scared puppies!

What was going on here?

The head of the security guards was stunned. All the other security guards wide-eyed and equally shocked after witnessing what just happened. These were the ultimate breed of all fighting dogs—they were pit bulls. When enraged and hungry, even their handlers could turn out to be a target. Strong and ferocious, these three dogs had even been specially fed dead human bodies before this to heighten their killer instincts. But, just what was happening now? They retreated with their tails between their legs in a single shout from the brat standing right there. This was turning out to be some kind of international joke!

The handlers who took care of these three dogs went to them and tried to calm them down. They then ordered the dogs to attack Xiao Luo once again. However, the three dogs didn’t budge an inch and could only stare fearfully at Xiao Luo. They let out a small bark but did not find the courage to charge at him anymore.

“A good dog doesn’t block the path, and it seems like these three dogs are good dogs indeed, but what about you guys? Are you going to learn from them and move out of the way or are you going to continue blocking my path?” Xiao Luo asked, flashing an evil smirk from the corner of his mouth.

The head of the security guards faltered momentarily, then after making up his mind, he ordered his subordinates to attack. “I have no idea why these three garbage mutts did not have the guts to attack, but you will surely die here! Go, give this guy a good beating!” he cried out.

More than a dozen black-shirted security guards charged toward Xiao Luo bare-handed, believing that this would be more than enough. They thought they could easily drown him with just one spit from each of them with their numbers. They were already overestimating him by sending a dozen security guards to attack at once. Besides, each of them had excellent close combat skills, and they were confident enough that they could beat the hell out of this arrogant jerk in the shortest amount of time possible.

However…

“Even dogs are smarter than you!”

Xiao Luo snorted as he moved his body forward and simultaneously extended his right hand out. He thrust violently toward the chest of the frontmost security guard, and the strong impact spread out towards their surroundings.

CRUNCH!

His fist smashed into the chest ribs of the guard, but he was careful not to thrust it into his chest.

“Oomph!”

Fresh blood spurted out from his mouth, and he was winded by the tremendous blow. His muscular and robust body sailed in the air as if it had been slammed by a train. The body was thrown toward the five or six companions that had initially been behind him, crashing into them heavily like a cannonball. There was a ghastly report of cracking sounds, like bowling pins being knocked over by a bowling ball. Blood started oozing out of their mouths and noses, and the lot of them let out painful screams as they lay on the ground.

“Huh…?”

The head of the security guard and his cohort were stunned and gasped in horror. No one could imagine that a young man with a seemingly weak-looking body had that much power and strength. He was very much like a humanoid monster!

As they stared at Xiao Luo, they saw a dark and fearsome expression form on his face. He rushed forward, and like a tiger, charging toward the black-shirted security guards who were still in a stupor.

Screams could be heard wherever he went, and under the ferocity of his attacks, the security guards seemed at a loss. One kick and one punch were enough to knock them to the ground. Xiao Luo chose not to land any fatal blows, but they all screamed in unbearable pain as they fell one at a time.

Eventually, only the head security guard was left, and he looked at Xiao Luo nervously and stood very still. His face had turned pale, and he began sweating like a waterfall. His entire body was trembling uncontrollably from the fear of facing such a monster, for Xiao Luo had taken out all of his subordinates in less than two minutes.

As Xiao Luo switched his attention over and looked at him, the head security guard bit the bullet—he gritted his teeth and roared, taking out his black baton and rushed madly at Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo looked at him with mockery in his eyes, and just as the head guard rushed toward him, his right hand, like a knife, slammed into his neck at the speed of light.

“Ahrrg!”

The head security guard dropped as if he had been struck by lightning, and the black baton slipped from his hand, falling next to him.

“This must be an electric baton, why don’t I try and see how powerful it is?”

Xiao Luo bent over, lifted the electric baton, and switched it on. The top of the rod let out a crackling sound with a strong surge of electric current. Then, without any hesitation, he placed it on the head security guard’s chest and kept it there for a couple of seconds.

The head guard let out a painful scream until he eventually started to foam at the mouth and lost consciousness in no time.

As this was going on, the three dogs were watching from the side.

Xiao Luo stood up, looked down at them, and with a sinister smile, said, “You three livestock want to give this a try as well?”

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

The bursts of electric current at the tip of the electric baton crackled insanely.

The three dogs shrank back and ran away in fear. Of course, the electric baton wasn’t the thing that scared them off, but rather it was the hostility coming from Xiao Luo’s body that caused it.

“Hmm, it seems like I might have forgotten to ask which house here belongs to Yang Yuanzhong…”

Xiao Luo mused and looked at the head of the guards who was unconscious and frowned a little. He raised his hands out as if to grab something, and suddenly, a security guard who was bent over in pain some two meters away ended up being drawn into his hand.

Was this man some kind of monster with supernatural abilities like those you saw in the movies?

All the other security guards were so shocked that they quickly pretended to be dead. What they saw terrified them.

The guard who was pulled in mid-air by some strange force was now being grabbed by his collar. Needless to say, he was so scared of Xiao Luo that he was about to wet his pants.

“Where is Yang Yuanzhong?” Xiao Luo asked.

“There… he’s there, the biggest and lighted-up house… that is where he is at…”

The shaking security guard could no longer think properly and pointed toward the luxurious villa situated by the lake.

“Why is it so brightly lit up, and what’s with the word “happiness” posted all over the place?” Xiao Luo asked again.

The security guard did not dare to lie, and said, “Boss brought Goddess Su here. It’s for… for her to become our young master’s wife. Today is the wedding day for our young master and Goddess Su…”

What?

A fire started burning in Xiao Luo’s heart after he heard this. A rage started spreading across his entire body, and a murderous intent glowered from both of his eyes. The ease and composure he bore earlier on disappeared and was replaced with a sense of coldness that was so intense it seeped into his soul.

He thought Yang Yuanzhong caught Su Li so that he would come after him, force his way into the villa, and with that, Yang Yuanzhong would have sufficient reason to kill him. But it seemed like that was not the case anymore. Yang Yuanzhong was not only baiting him to find him but was also trying to force Su Li to be the wife of his son, Yang Hongzhi.

“He’s courting death!”

Xiao Luo’s glowering eyes became even more intense. He dumped the security guard on the ground, and like black lightning, dashed toward where he knew Yang Yuanzhong was waiting for him.
