Chapter 142 Provocation
Gu Dao was caught off guard by a punch, and a little blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, but he was not angry. Instead, he continued to attack with a savage grin, his eyes flashing with a deadly coldness.
"You want to hit me? Fine! I'll deal with that brat later!"
Meanwhile, Bai Yexiu was also quite adept at combat. Because of his weakness in physical skills, Bai Yexiu did not choose to engage in direct combat, but instead chose to rely on his strengths in speed and agility. Although the opponent had a numerical advantage, the skills of these twenty-odd people were not good at all, far inferior to the agents from MI6.
Mi6 agents are all professionally trained, and with their numerical advantage, he naturally couldn't handle them alone. But these gang members were different; they weren't professional, their moves were chaotic and disorganized, full of flaws. Therefore, Bai Yexiu's toying with them was more effective and advantageous.
While Bai Yexiu outwardly engaged with them, he secretly directed the battle to the other side, where Bone Blade and Amuro Tooru were locked in combat.
He could tell that these people thought he was difficult to deal with and wanted to draw their guns to shoot him, so Bai Yexiu's next move was to make them afraid to draw their guns.
The two separate battlefields merged due to Bai Yexiu's "unintentional" movement.
Bai Yexiu deliberately maneuvered around the members on the periphery of the fight between Gu Dao and Amuro Tooru—and this proved to be very effective, because as soon as they got close to Gu Dao, these people's sword swings became noticeably more restrained, for fear of accidentally injuring their second-in-command at the Nisan meeting, and none of them made any move to draw their guns.
This time, they were not only afraid of accidentally harming their own people, but also afraid of accidentally harming the ancient sword.
As more and more of his subordinates circled around him, Koto unconsciously became more hesitant in his fight with Amuro Tooru. Finally, he couldn't help but yell, "What are you doing?! A bunch of useless trash, all crowding around me! You can't even handle a brat!"
"This brat is too evil! Big brother, let me help you!" one of them shouted in a fit of impotent rage, decisively abandoning Bai Yexiu, whom he couldn't even touch, and stabbed at Amuro Tooru with his knife.
While dodging the knives, Bai Yexiu naturally wouldn't give them a chance to hurt Amuro Tooru.
He knew long before he arrived that he would be killed to silence him, which is why he summoned Amuro Tooru, using his superior fighting skills as a shield for Byakuya Shu.
But at this time, we also need to protect our shields.
Judging from his skills, this ancient swordsman must have received some professional training before. Byakuya didn't regret his decision to have Amuro Tooru, an undercover police officer, restrain him.
If Bai Yexiu were to restrain Gu Dao, he would inevitably be at a disadvantage.
Bai Yexiu instantly dodged and shoved the man who was trying to stab Amuro Tooru towards the direction of the ancient sword.
As expected, the man cried out in surprise and staggered forward a few steps after being hit. Before he could put away the knife he was holding high, he was pushed by the inertia to the side of the ancient knife.
At that moment, Koto was blocking Amuro Tooru's heavy kick with his arms crossed in front of his chest, and had no time to pay attention to the unexpected blade coming towards him...
The blade pierced through the ancient sword's arm with a soft thud, penetrating three or four centimeters into the flesh.
"Fool!" Gu Dao was furious, his imposing, cold, and angry gaze sending chills down the man's spine.
"Lord Gu Dao, I didn't mean to!" The man frantically drew his sword, instinctively backing away in shock, accidentally knocking over someone behind him.
This incident caused a brief moment of chaos, and Bai Yexiu, who was weaving through the crowd, seized the opportunity, took out two scalpels from his pocket and held them in his hands. He flashed to the side of the person who had stabbed Gu Dao and suddenly plunged them into his carotid artery, then slashed them horizontally!
A scream rang out as scalding hot arterial blood gushed from the man's neck, staining everyone around him with blood.
Bai Yexiu didn't let go of the person who had just been knocked down, and stepped on the person's neck!
The blade on the sole of his shoe popped out as he lifted his foot, and then cruelly sliced open the neck of the man who had fallen to the ground as he landed.
Two screams rang out almost simultaneously—first, the hoarse scream from the person on the ground, and then the blood that had splattered in the air from the first person splashed into the eyes of the person next to him.
Bai Yexiu naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Stepping on the neck of the person on the ground, he used the momentum to flash in front of the person with astonishing speed—the blades in his hands reflected a terrifying cold light in the white light emitted by the chandelier. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bai Yexiu used both hands to reap the lives of the two people next to him.
Now, everyone else was dumbfounded.
This seemingly frail boy not only possessed bizarre fighting skills, but he also suddenly burst forth, taking down 5 people in just a few seconds?
"So that kid was the real trader! You tricked me?!"
Gu Dao was a smart man, and after a little thought, he guessed the truth.
However, Bai Yexiu showed no sign of stopping. It seemed that his previous dodging was just a game, and only now that Gu Dao and the others were injured did he begin to get serious.
Gu Dao's subordinates were all injured because of Bai Yexiu's earlier teasing, but they were much easier to treat than before.
Bai Yexiu once again moved gracefully through the remaining crowd like a butterfly, his hands never stopping as he plunged scalpels into each of them, making them continue to injure their companions.
This tactic is especially effective in large-scale battles.
As his subordinates fell one by one, Gu Dao grew increasingly agitated and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. He was kicked in the chest by Amuro Tooru, who was relentlessly pursuing him. He flew backward several meters and crashed into the wall, creating a human-shaped dent in the wooden wall of the tavern.
"You..." Gu Dao looked at the corpses scattered on the ground with hatred. Just as he was about to get up and continue fighting, a blood-stained scalpel suddenly flew over and pierced Gu Dao's thigh!
"Ugh!" Gu Dao groaned in pain, but before he could recover, another scalpel flew straight toward his shoulder!
Gu Dao looked as if he were nailed to the wall, watching helplessly as the culprit who threw the scalpel smiled mockingly at him, and then watched as the man picked up an axe from under the table and swung it at the few remaining gang members without saying a word.
"Damn it!" Gu Dao roared, trying to move his exhausted and heavily injured body to stop the crazed Bai Yexiu. However, he had lost a lot of strength in the fight with Amuro Tooru, and the deep penetrating wounds on his body were almost making him faint. He couldn't move his body at all...
"Not allowed to move!"
Amuro Tooru had already rushed forward, pulled out a gun, and pressed it against the ancient sword's forehead without anyone noticing.
By then, it was too late. With Bai Yexiu's slashing strikes, red and white objects flew everywhere, like red petals mixed with snowflakes falling in large quantities, accompanied by screams that echoed throughout the tavern. The scene looked incredibly bloody. Although Amuro Tooru appeared calm on the surface, his heart was still filled with shock.
This boy's actions constantly push the boundaries of what's acceptable.
After the last person fell, Bai Yexiu released his grip, letting the axe fall to the ground with a loud thud.
Bai Yexiu wiped the blood from his face, pulled two boxes from under the two corpses, and then slowly walked towards Gu Dao.
Gu Dao was furious and was about to say something when Bai Yexiu waved the box in his hand at him smugly: "You're really naive. Who do you think we're here on orders?"
"What?" Gu Dao immediately sensed something was wrong.
"We are assassins hired by Xilu. It's a bit of a pity that your leader isn't here today, otherwise I could have wiped out your entire Nican Association." Ignoring Amuro Tooru's suspicious gaze, Bai Yexiu continued to weave his lies.
Cointreau is lying.
Based on what Kundo had told him earlier, Amuro Tooru keenly sensed that something was wrong.
But what's the reason? What exactly is Cointreau planning lately?
Amuro Tooru felt that many mysteries were surrounding him.
"You mean... Xilu wants to kill us?!" Gu Dao's face turned bright red with extreme anger.
“It’s not just Xilu, you know~” Bai Yexiu smiled mysteriously at him.
Another figure immediately came to mind in Gu Dao's mind—Nozawa Hiroichi.
Gu Dao spat angrily on the ground.
They risked being discovered by the organization to help these two partners with their drug business, but they never expected that just because the organization was cracking down on them and the gang was struggling, they would ask to make more money and be wiped out by such petty people who hired assassins.
"You're probably too weak to move, right? You'll be blown to bits in three minutes!"
Bai Yexiu smiled and took out several miniature bombs from his pocket, tossing them into the air so that they were evenly distributed throughout the tavern. Ignoring Gu Dao's angry curses, he pulled Amuro Tooru out of the tavern.
The bomb was actually set for 15 minutes. As for the two scalpels that were used to damage the ancient sword, he also applied something to them... This ancient sword absolutely had to survive.
