Peerless Genius System

Chapter 374: Returning A Favor

Amid the devastation in the kendo gym, a storm was brewing. Xiao Luo's fringe was tossing lightly as the two master swordsmen confronted each other, and the space that separated them was thick with a deathly chill.

"I do not wish to fight you, stop!"

Xiao Luo spoke to Asou Yanagi in Japanese. Although he did not have a reasonable opinion of the man, he respected his courage and did not want to cause more bloodshed for any better good reason.

"Why didn't you think of stopping before you cut off my daughter's arm?" Asou Yanagi bellowed.

Calmly, Xiao Luo replied, "She's crossed the line."

"Bakayarou, I don't care about your limit! I will take your life for what you've done to my daughter, and this kendo gym shall be your graveyard!"

Asou Yanagi was still enraged, but he was panting heavily as he roared, "First Form: God Slayer!!!"

He raised his sword and chopped down ferociously, and the blade aura that he produced came down at Xiao Luo with a terrible force like it was a god-slaying attack.

Xiao Luo was stunned, and he hurriedly used the samurai sword to parry the vicious stroke. With his inner power surging through the katana, its blade formed an invisible barrier in the air. Asou Yanagi's blade aura swished through the air, slicing into the barrier.

BANG!

As soon as it connected with Xiao Luo's barrier, an overpowering force smashed through it, the floor gave way, and Xiao Luo's legs sunk into it. He now realized that this swordmaster was indeed very powerful, and if Xiao Luo was to categorized him by NSA's ranking of warriors, he would at least be at Grade-S+. Xiao Luo backed off a few steps as he felt the effects of the blow, like a storm ravaging within his body.

The aftershock from the God Slayer's terrifying impact sent a raging wave of energy that swept through the kendo gym, blowing like a strong wind that made everyone's hair flutter. The crowd looked stunned, and everything that had played out before them was beyond their understanding—it was almost like witnessing two martial arts masters dueling in a kungfu movie.

Blood welled up in Xiao Luo's throat and flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Ice Face!"

Su Canye called out in apprehension, and, for a brief moment, he feared that Xiao Luo had been killed on the spot.

"No, Daddy…!"

Su Xiaobei had been very obedient and kept her eyes shut throughout the fight, but she too felt something amiss. She called Xiao Luo's name anxiously and held tightly to Su Canye's shirt with her tiny hands.

"I am fine!" Xiao Luo shouted back as he raised his hand to them to ease their concerns.

"Fine? Haha…you're already vomiting blood, and you telling me you're fine?" Despite his grievous injuries and being covered in blood, Guo Qinghe was elated when he saw that Xiao Luo was injured. He laughed hysterically, and it made him look twisted and maniacal.

"There are ten forms to my God Slayer technique. That was merely the first form, and it will only get progressively stronger. Boy, break all of your limbs yourself, and I will promise to keep your corpse intact. If you do not, you will perish and be turned into dust by my God Slayer forms!" Asou Yanagi gloated.

"Haha, haha…"

Xiao Luo laughed mirthlessly, and it was the laugh of the devil, for it was cold and malicious.

He wiped the traces of bloodstain from his mouth and said, "I am afraid that your God Slayer technique is nothing to me, and since you've delivered your blow, I shall return the favor right now!"

A strong surge of inner power started to build up within his body, and Xiao Luo directed the energy flow into the katana before he raised the sword and slashed it down forcefully.

A raging storm suddenly swirled in the kendo gym, and a terrifying blade aura formed in front of Xiao Luo, resembling a lightsaber some 12 meters long. To the crowd of onlookers, they saw a long luminous arc of rainbow cutting through the void and striking down Asou Yanagi like divine retribution.

Xiao Luo's attack almost tore the place apart, and all the training equipment in the kendo gym was blown away. Even the kendo students who were trapped within the storm were stumbling and rolling around desperately.

Asou Yanagi was totally surprised by it, but he held his nerve and parried with the fencing sword in his hand.

BOOM!

The 12-meter long lightsaber struck, and the entire kendo gym shook. Ceiling panels came crashing down, and broken pieces of stone fell off the walls, while debris was tossed around on the floor and dust swirled in the air. There was pandemonium as screams were heard even from the lower levels of the building as Xiao Luo's slash had cut through the entire upper level and caused chaos and panic for the residents down below.

Asou Yanagi's fencing sword was broken, and his clothes were ripped entirely away, leaving him with only his briefs. He failed to defend himself against Xiao Luo's horrific attack and was thrown back by the immense force generated. He was in extreme pain as he vomited blood and felt as if his internal organs had all shifted. He remained on the floor and was unable to recover.

The vast kendo gym was suddenly in dead silence, and one could almost hear a pin drop. Everyone stared in awe at the slim silhouette with the long sword standing in the center of the gym. They could not believe what they had just witnessed and wondered if they were dreaming. What was the possibility that such a monstrous being existed in the mortal world? How could he slash through an entire level of a building with just a sword?

It was impossible to fathom, and they were terrified beyond words.

"Wow, what kind of dude is my sister married to?"

Su Canye muttered under his breath, and the newfound respect he had for Xiao Luo now came from his soul. In only half a day, his impression of Xiao Luo had changed from the disdain that he felt in the beginning, to awe and confusion. He now learned that he not only mysterious and powerful but could be extremely cruel when provoked.

Guo Qinghe was totally stunned, and the smile on his face disappeared, leaving him frozen in fear.

When the police finally arrived, they were shocked by the kendo gym's condition and could not imagine what had happened in this place, wondering if it was visited by the Hulk.

Guo Qinghe, who was still in shock and traumatized, explained the situation to the police immediately.

Breaking a person's leg? Chopping a person's hand off?

This meant that he was an extremely dangerous person!

The police were afraid, and they instantly drew out their pistols and took aim at Xiao Luo. The policeman in charge shouted, "Drop the sword and keep your hands in the air!"

Xiao Luo dropped the sword nonchalantly, but he did not raise his hands.

"You're a goner—you'll be spending at least ten years in the jail, and when you're finally there, I would definitely pay you a visit, haha, haha…"

Guo Qinghe laughed like a maniac, but when Xiao Luo glanced at him, he quickly hid behind a policeman quaking, for he was still very fearful of Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo did not bother with Guo Qinghe anymore and turned to Su Canye, completely ignoring the pistols pointed in his direction.

"Take Xiaobei to the amusement park first, I'll be there soon."

"Ice… I mean, brother-in-law, are you sure you know what you're saying?" Su Canye responded and frowned, for, what Xiao Luo had committed was abominable, and it would be challenging to even get bail for such offenses.

"Of course. What has happened here, stays here—unless you don't want your car anymore," Xiao Luo said.

Su Canye nodded like chickens pecking grain.

Xiao Luo looked at Su Xiaobei, she still had her eyes closed, and her long lashes were trembling slightly. She slowly opened her eyes when he gave her permission to do so. She looked as if she had just woken up from a good nap as she had her eyes shut for a prolonged period.

"Daddy…"

The little girl had tears welling in her eyes as she knew everything that had happened there was because of her, and she felt a little guilty about it.

Xiao Luo smiled at her gently and said, "Bei Bei, go to the amusement park with your uncle first, daddy's going to settle some stuff then join you."

"Daddy, you must come, okay. Bei Bei wants to take the spinning plane ride with you," Su Xiaobei said, wiping the tears from her eyes.

Xiao Luo assured her, "Okay, I promise!"

He wanted to pinch her cheeks but realized that his hands were covered in blood, so he winked instead.
