Chapter 1253 - 1252: Mr. Ximen Assassinated
"You damned foreign devil, you dare break into the Ximen Family? You really think just anyone can barge into my Ximen Family?"
Mr. Ximen didn’t show a trace of fear; instead he bellowed with a voice full of strength, carrying the domineering aura of a king!
The man in black said nothing, only slowly closed in on Mr. Ximen, and in his hand a long, slender Samurai Sword slowly appeared!
"Little Devil?"
Seeing the Samurai Sword, Mr. Ximen’s face turned completely cold and grim!
An old man who had walked out of the War of Resistance had an extreme hatred for Little Devils!
Mr. Ximen suddenly stood up, staring at the man in black as he said, "You really think these old bones of mine are afraid of you? Perfect timing, these old bones haven’t moved in a while—today I’ll use you to warm up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Ximen quickly walked to the side, where on the wall hung an East Asian officer’s saber he had once captured!
Mr. Ximen took down the officer’s saber and drew it; the snow-bright blade reflected a chilling cold light under the lamp!
"Come on! Come at me!"
Mr. Ximen roared loudly, his voice full and powerful, his spirit surging!
With the officer’s saber in hand, he seemed decades younger, nothing like a man over a hundred years old!
"Courting death!"
The man in black snarled in English, swung up the Samurai Sword in his hand, and instantly charged at Mr. Ximen!
"Swoosh!"
A cutting sound split the air as the Samurai Sword in the black-clad man’s hand hacked out at high speed, the blade so fast it left a streak of icy light in midair, as if it had sliced open the very void!
Mr. Ximen dared not be careless; he hurriedly raised the officer’s saber in his hand, sweeping it across to intercept!
"Clang!"
The Samurai Sword and the officer’s saber slammed together with a piercing metallic crash, sending up a few sparks!
The reason Mr. Ximen had lived past a hundred was because he was also a Qi Gong Martial Artist; the Qi in his body supported his frame. Although that slash from the man in black carried monstrous force and made his arm go numb, he did not let his guard down!
"Ah~"
Mr. Ximen roared, forcefully lifting the officer’s saber upward, knocking the Samurai Sword aside. His wrist locked around the hilt, and he swung the blade in a lightning slash toward the man in black’s chest, the sharp officer’s saber whipping up shrill, howling blade wind!
The man in black nimbly leapt back. As soon as his toes touched the floor, he suddenly exploded forward again, taking advantage of Mr. Ximen’s downward stroke to charge him once more!
The man in black gripped the Samurai Sword with both hands, raised it high, then chopped down again with crushing force; even the sound of the blade wind was painfully sharp!
Faced with this slash, Mr. Ximen could only sweep his saber horizontally to block!
The two blades collided again; the tremendous force of the blow drove Mr. Ximen back several steps, his throat working as he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
After all, Mr. Ximen was already very old, and his skills weren’t that strong. Against this man in black, the pressure was overwhelming!
After that one strike, the man in black didn’t pause for an instant; he swung his sword and charged again, slash after slash chopping toward the top of Mr. Ximen’s head!
Mr. Ximen could only keep bringing his saber across to block. Every slash forced him back another step!
In the blink of an eye, the man in black had hacked down more than a dozen times, driving Mr. Ximen back more than a dozen steps. His entire arm was numb, and his palm had been split open by the huge impact, blood seeping out!
"Swoosh~"
Another fierce slash from the man in black!
Mr. Ximen’s arm could barely hold up anymore; he had no choice but to dart aside!
With a crisp "clang!"
This slash from the man in black landed squarely on a vase, smashing it instantly into a pile of shards!
Then the man in black flipped his body and lashed out with a kick. Mr. Ximen couldn’t dodge in time and was struck, spewing a mouthful of blood as he stumbled back five or six steps. His throat worked a few times, then another mouthful of blood sprayed out!
Mr. Ximen braced a hand against the wall to stop himself from retreating further, panting heavily as he said, "Little Devil, don’t think that means you’ve beaten your Sir Ximen!"
"Courting death!"
A cold gleam flashed in the eyes of the man in black. He flipped his wrist, set the Samurai Sword upright in his hand, and prepared to strike again!
"Boom~"
Just then, a dull thud sounded. The tightly shut door was suddenly smashed open, and several figures rushed into the room!
Leading them was Ximen Huwei, with three guards behind him!
Seeing the scene before him, Ximen Huwei was shocked, and he shouted at the three guards behind him, "Shoot this brazen madman dead for me, now!"
The three guards dared not hesitate and immediately raised their weapons!
But the man in black didn’t hesitate at all; he instantly kicked into extreme speed. Before the three could even fire, he had already reached them, his Samurai Sword flashing out in a horizontal cut through the air!
"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"
Three crisp sounds rang out as the Samurai Sword sliced sharply across their weapons, throwing up a spray of sparks!
The power behind that slash was immense; when it struck their weapons, the huge force made their arms go numb. Their guns flew out of their hands and clattered to the floor, and their palms split open from the shock!
"Go to hell!"
Ximen Huwei grabbed a stool and hurled it at the man in black!
The man in black stayed calm, gripping his Samurai Sword as he hacked down fast toward Ximen Huwei’s head!
Fortunately, Ximen Huwei’s reflexes were extremely quick. That slash almost landed on his skull, but instead split the stool he was holding. The sharp tip of the blade skimmed past his forehead, leaving a bloody line, blood streaming down as if a third eye had been opened on Ximen Huwei’s brow!
Ximen Huwei broke out in a cold sweat from fear. The strength of this man in black was completely beyond anything he had imagined; he had never seen someone this powerful!
"Quick! Go call for reinforcements, now!" Ximen Huwei shouted to the guards behind him!
But before the three could even turn around, a dark shadow had already flashed to a stop right in front of them!
"Bang bang bang~"
Three rapid kicks sent them flying, crashing to the floor and coughing blood, completely unable to get back up!
In that instant, the atmosphere in the room froze solid!
Now, even if they wanted to call for help, no one could arrive in time. And with the man in black’s terrifying strength, killing Mr. Ximen and Ximen Huwei would only take a few blinks of an eye!
The man in black fixed his cold eyes on Mr. Ximen and said in halting Huaxia speech, "The battle can end now. It’s time for you to die!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the man in black swung his blade and charged at Mr. Ximen. The sharp tip of the sword aimed straight at the center of Mr. Ximen’s brow, killing intent surging!
