Super Soldier

Xiao Bing knew they would come for him ever since the devil’s death. But he had always thought that would happen after he’d dealt with Lord Long, not before.

But that might not be a bad thing after all from Xiao Bing’s viewpoint. Mr. Buddha didn’t know he was there. He could take advantage of that to get rid of the two killers he sent.

It was not easy to find a master who was as powerful as the masters of Dragon Gate or who was at the service of Mr. Buddha. The number of innate masters was small, and an innate master who served the Dragon Gate or Mr. Buddha was even rarer and of the best. It would be a great loss to both sides if anyone of them was killed. Dragon Gate lost Su Peiya. Though the foundation was not much affected, it was still a great loss for them.

Mr. Buddha had already lost a devil. If two more were sent here, they would be killed by Xiao Bing as well!

Over the next few days, Xiao Bing kept in touch with the poisonous fox and Mu Tingchuan. In the meantime, he told the ones he trusted things about the two innate masters. Miyamoto Shinji had acquired that information. Xiao Bing did not intend to ask for Miyamoto Shinji’s help. It was too dangerous and Miyamoto Shinji stayed because he wanted to avenge Master Hou. So Xiao Bing did not want him to be involved in this.

To his surprise, Miyamoto Shinji insisted on fighting those two masters when he heard that they were at the level of the innate. From the glint in the man’s eyes, Xiao Bing knew he was itching for a good fight. It was fair to say that Miyamoto Shinji was obsessed with martial arts.

On the third day, as soon as it was daylight, Xiao Bing sent away everyone not involved in the battle to avoid the loss of innocent lives. This included the servants, Su Xiaoxiao, her mother and even the guards. He ordered them to stay the night at the noodle house. They objected strongly saying they were here to protect the owner of the mansion, yet they had to retreat when Xiao Bing was in danger. However, they had no choice but to obey as Xiao Bing’s command suffered no objections.

That night, only Xiao Bing, Miyamoto Shinji, Lil Bei, Zhan Hongyan, Gao Fei and Maggie, were at the mansion. Except for Maggie, the others were at the level of fighting-strength. However, today’s fight had nothing to do with them. Only Xiao Bing, Miyamoto Shinji, Lil Bei, and Gao Fei were involved in this.

Xiao Bing had specially ordered all guards at the posts, visible or invisible, to stay out of it tonight. Though they were all well-trained, they would not last more than a second before these innate masters.

The whole mansion fell silent as darkness descended. On a street, a few dozen meters away from the mansion, a tall, gaunt black man was walking alongside a blond-haired man, who looked like a European.

They were talking in Chinese, which was the language Mr. Buddha used. Every person who followed the Buddhism was required to learn Chinese.

The European man asked, “Who is this demon’s envoy and Miss Maggie whom we’re supposed to invite this time?”

There was a saber hanging on his waist, the same weapon as Miyamoto Shinji’s.

“I don’t know. Whatever it is, we just need to do as Mr. Bhudda asked.” The black man answered sternly.

The European guffawed, “Don’t you ever smile? How will women like you if you don’t know how to smile?”

The black guy replied coldly, “Women are just a tool to further men’s bloodline. It’s not wise for a man to think about women all the time.”

“Humph, it looks like you will never understand feelings between a man and a woman.”

They arrived at the gate of the mansion as they talked. Frowning, the black man said, “Something’s wrong. All the guards don’t seem to be here.”

The blond-haired man grinned, “Why should they let the guards stay here? For us to slaughter?”

The European’s reasoning made sense to the black man. Without a word, he punched the air. Boom! The gate opened, and the two walked in.

Normal people wouldn’t have dared to enter someone’s house just like that, especially Master Hou’s. Maybe these two were too confident of their power, so they did not give two hoots about what ambushes they might encounter.

The moment they stepped into the mansion, Xiao Bing, Zhan Hongyan and Dumbass walked out of the hall. Miyamoto Shinji suddenly appeared on the roof, clad in a white gown, his hands folded before his chest, and a sword hanging on his waist. Under the pale moonlight, he looked like Ximen Chuixue about to fight Ye Gucheng.

Xiao Bing’s eyes swept over the two men and he felt relieved. These two were powerful martial artists who were even stronger than him. But they weren’t at the stage of Gang-strength, which meant that they weren’t more powerful than the devil, who was more or less at the pinnacle of Elixir-strength. So these two, at most, might be as powerful as the devil or even inferior to him.

But Xiao Bing couldn’t afford to be less than vigilant. The devil was stronger than Xiao Bing. He was not able to beat him even if he put his life on the line. There were three main reasons why he killed the devil. First, the devil had intended to kill him slowly, like a cat torturing its prey. Secondly, the devil was a little afraid of Xiao Bing’s ferocity. Thirdly, although he was at the early stage of Elixir-strength, his martial prowess was at Void-breaking level, These three combined to help him effectively kill the devil.

If he were to fight the devil again, Xiao Bing was sure that there would be no chance of a win for him, if the devil defended himself well this time.

So, although these two had reached the level of Gang-strength, Xiao Bing should not underestimate them.

Standing in the hall, Miyamoto Shinji cast a condescending glance at the European. His eyes glinted sharply when he saw the sword in the European’s hands. They gleamed more brightly than the stars. It was rare for a swordmaster to encounter another swordmaster, especially when they were both at the level of the innate.

The black man’s eyes swept the room, “The demon’s envoy and the princess, please show yourself.”

Gao Fei and Maggie walked out of the room, hand in hand. The European’s eyes brightened instantly. Grinning, he took a bow and said, “Your highness, we have been asked to escort you back.”

Maggie sniggered, “Asked by whom? Escort whom?”

Xiao Bing was surprised. And not just Xiao Bing, Dumbass and Zhan Hongyan too looked as though it was their first time seeing this girl. Usually, Maggie behaved like a mischievous, energetic little girl. But now she showed a certain air of nobility. Her glance, her way of speaking, all resembled an ancient princess who was questioning her subjects.

This girl of thirteen was placing an invisible pressure on them.

The European grinned, “Mr. Buddha commanded us to bring the princess and the envoy back.”

Maggie said, “Tell that Mr. Buddha I have never met him and have nothing to do with him and he’s not to send anyone over to bother me anymore.”

“I’m afraid not.” The European smiled, “Your highness, I understand what you might be thinking. A pretty girl like you must really hate men coming to bother you. But this time, you must come with us.”

Maggie asked, “What if I refused?”

“If you refused, I’m afraid I must tie you up and carry you there,” the European replied, leering at the Maggie, a 13-year-old girl who looked prettier than a barbie doll. To some perverts who had an interest in little girls, she was very tempting.

The blond-haired man grinned, “But I can assure you that I’ll try to make it comfortable for you. I pity the weak and I hate hurting little girls.”

Gao Fei suddenly spoke, “What’s your name?”

The European’s face turned serious again. “I forgot to introduce ourselves. We are followers of the Buddhism. We came from Country F, a romantic land. My name is very long. You can just call me Henry. The one standing beside me is Tulay, an African compatriot who has slaughtered numerous people.”

“Henry… Tulay…” Gao Fei nodded and said, “Good, I never kill nameless people.”

Henry grinned, “I assume you must be the man who killed the devil. But I’m afraid you can’t kill us that easily today. I’d like to have a fair fight with you. To be honest, I’ve always been curious about what you do and how powerful you are.”

.The gate was opened right after Henry finished talking. Only this time, it was blown into bits by an explosion. Then in came a stolid man wearing only a pair of trunks and canvas shoes. Henry and Tulay lowered their heads in awe the moment he arrived. Xiao Bing felt his breath caught in his throat because the momentum this man was showing was much more powerful than Henry’s or Tulay’s.

There seemed to be something looming over the mansion after this man appeared. It was a certain vibe he created. Xiao Bing knew that this well-built man had reached the level of Gang-strength!

Allegedly, almost no one could reach the level of the Void-breaking. The Gang-strength was the highest level a human could reach in recent years. And now he saw one standing in front of him.

Two masters of Elixir-strength and one of Gang-strength! It’s going to be an uphill battle!
