Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 284
Chapter 284: Chapter 285: Clearing Out a Bloody Path
(Disclaimer: The following chapter may contain a bit of the nation feud from the past, let’s look past the author’s patriotism and enjoy the story instead.)
Xu Cheng didn’t give Lin Chuxue the opportunity to plead for him. He directly glanced at the Queen and said, “I hope you keep your promise!”
Then, he directly walked down the passage with a row of guards on each side.
Lin Chuxue wanted to run after him to stop him, but she was immediately stopped by Lin Guiren.
“The only thing you can do right now is to trust him.”
“Those people aren’t like the thugs in Shangcheng, there are over a hundred special forces soldiers! He will be beaten to death!” Lin Chuxue was so anxious that she immediately began crying.
Two guards began walking up to him, and Xu Cheng used Shadow Steps and approached them before they could react, and he grabbed each of them by the throat, raised them up, and threw them to the side. Another guard charged at him as he hurled his fist, but Xu Cheng just grabbed it and twisted.
Ka!
“Ahhh!” That guard’s whole arm was bent out of shape, and he miserably cried as he fell to the ground. Then, Xu Cheng threw a kick at his throat, causing him to suffocate and immediately faint.
Then, three more guards charged at him, and Xu Cheng directly threw himself towards one of them with his back. That guy felt a violent impact, as if he was hit by a train, and was sent flying into the other two guys, causing them all to fall to the ground. When two of them were about to climb up and continue fighting, Xu Cheng directly bent over and punched each of them in the face, breaking their noses.
“Ah!!!” Those two covered their noses and cried miserably.
Then, five more people charged over with their punches and kicks. Xu Cheng slapped away their fists, but a few kicks landed onto his abdomen, forcing him a few steps back.
Xu Cheng’s body trembled, and his whole body was exuding an aura as tough as iron. Aiming at a leg that was on his stomach, he directly punched down, causing that leg to bend 90-degrees in the other direction.
Another guy wanted to come over and strike him on the back of the head with his elbow, but Xu Cheng just grabbed onto his wrist as if he had eyes on the back of his head and threw him away like a head of cabbage. The whole scene could only be described as ruthless.
Everyone at the palace was completely shocked by how things were unfolding, and they completely didn’t expect Xu Cheng to be this strong. Those were the most powerful guards in the country, the elites of the royal forces, those that were directly chosen from MI6. But, they all felt like amateurs in front of Xu Cheng, and after just a minute, four guards were wasted on the floor!
At the next moment, the guards gathered around, and there were 30 or so people already!
Xu Cheng was becoming more thirsty for blood, and he cracked his neck and knuckles. He then took a stance similar to that of Tai Chi, but it was actually a variation of the Shadow Fist martial art.
When those guys saw him, they all thought Xu Cheng was just posing for style points, and they all furiously charged at him. Some even pulled out daggers and directly stabbed towards Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng’s hands moved fast like a phantom and slapped the daggers out of their wrists. At the moment that the daggers fell, Xu Cheng grabbed one in mid air and began his brutal rampage.
His dagger danced in the air, slicing through the hand and leg tendons of those guards. With the fast speed of the Shadow Steps technique, the guards didn’t feel anything at first, other than just a tinge of coldness on their wrists and legs. Then, their hands and legs collapsed as if they were kites that had their strings cut, with blood spraying out of their joints.
A guy that threw a kick at Xu Cheng had the dagger directly stabbed through his knee cap. Xu Cheng brutally twisted the blade. Now, that leg would never be able to heal back to its original state anymore!
“Ah! My leg!” The guard cried out miserably as he hugged his leg, his face sweating, looking like he would rather die than endure the pain right now.
(Disclaimer: The following chapter may contain a bit of the nation feud from the past, let’s look past the author’s patriotism and enjoy the story instead.)
Xu Cheng pulled out the dagger and kept going, and just like that, without the need for any fancy techniques, he would disable all attacks coming at him, with fingers and blood flying everywhere.
A guard tried to sneak-attack Xu Cheng and kicked towards his crotch. Xu Cheng suddenly tightened his thighs, clamping onto the leg. Then, with a twist and roll sideways, he directly broke that leg!
The scene sent chills down everyone’s spines, especially the Queen. Being this old, she hadn’t seen a scene this bloody yet. She didn’t expect that this guy would fight this well, and at this point, there were already over 40 people on the ground. Xu Cheng was already halfway out of the palace, leaving behind a trail of blood wherever he walked past.
With more and more people gathering around, some people managed to leave cuts on Xu Cheng, and Xu Cheng took in a deep breath due to the pain. He grabbed a guy that had jumped onto him and was about to claw his eye out, and threw him over the shoulder. Then, he stomped on that guy’s face, and with a loud crack, that guy’s nose was broken too.
Now, blood began seeping through his clothes.
“Hit his wounds! He doesn’t get hurt from punches and kicks!” Someone realized this and exclaimed, and the others just realized that there was a cut on Xu Cheng’s shoulder that was seeping blood. They all charged over like a bunch of sharks smelling blood.
Xu Cheng immediately grabbed and lifted two guards that charged at him and roared as he banged their heads into the ground.
The floor tiles even began to crack.
Against all the punches and kicks, Xu Cheng blocked with one arm as he struck back with his dagger. The scent of blood was all up in the air.
On the passage outside of the palace towards the gate, there were cries of pain and misery sounding out with every step. Out of the palace door behind Xu Cheng, there were over 60 guards laying or rolling in pain on the ground. Some had broken faces, some had broken limbs, and some had dislocated arms and legs that were just swinging freely. The entire scene was brutal to see.
It would be a lie if someone at the scene said they weren’t scared. Xu Cheng’s means and cruelty completely shocked them all, and an intense sense of fear permeated them.
He was getting closer and closer to the gate, and seeing how he massacred their peers that stood in his path, the ones left were shocked and terrified. It was the kind of fear that struck into the depths of their hearts.
When Xu Cheng took care another 13 guards, his face was already covered in blood. He panted crazily as he shouted at the 10 guards guarding the gate, “Come on!”
Those guards were feeling a bit dumbfounded, not knowing whether they should charge up. Some stopped those that were about to go up and said, “Don’t worry, he’s bleeding heavy, and soon he will fall to the ground due to excessive blood loss.”
Seeing the blood trail from the palace to the gate, the Queen had someone help her walk to the door of the palace. Suddenly, she said to those 10 guards, “This intruder trespassed into the Platinum Palace, disturbed my birthday celebration, and injured my guards. Shoot him.”
“No!” Lin Chuxue’s face directly changed. She ran over and kneeled before the Queen as she cried and pleaded, “Your Majesty, I’m willing to marry Prince Will, I’m willing to! Please spare his life and let him go, I beg of you!”
