Chapter 186: Chapter 126: Purge and Kill
BANG!!
In the fading light of dusk.
Blood splattered, a crimson mist exploding and dispersing into the air.
It all happened in the span of a single breath.
The two Iron Blood Gang lookouts who had blocked the road fell one after another. Blood poured from the holes in their heads and the fatal gunshot wounds in their chests, staining the gray concrete a deep crimson.
It was as if a switch had been flipped on the once-silent street. More than ten meters back, inside the black Sai Wei sedan blocking the alley, someone finally reacted.
Through the windshield, the two men in the front seats appeared to draw their guns and roll down the windows.
The dark muzzles of their guns were just poking out of the windows, ready to fire.
THUD THUD THUD THUD!
His paused steps suddenly accelerated. Lu Chao lowered his body into a mad dash, closing the distance to within ten meters.
The sight made the men in the black car’s expressions flicker. A rear door opened as someone got out, intending to use the car door as a shield while they all opened fire.
But...
SWISH! SWISH!!
Two steel nails shot out like lightning, tearing through the air with Lu Chao’s killing intent.
In less than a breath.
THUMP! THUMP!!
Two dull thuds echoed out. The steel nails, moving as fast as bullets, punched straight through the windshield and buried themselves between the eyes of the two men in the front car.
Flowers of blood bloomed, splattering across the car’s interior.
This gruesome scene made the two men in the back seat turn pale. They scrambled to hide behind the car door and open fire, while the second Sai Wei sedan further back was also startled into action.
BANG! BANG! BANG!!
In an instant, gunfire erupted. Bullets whizzed past Lu Chao, barely missing him.
His evasive fighting technique made him incredibly agile, his form blurring into a series of afterimages.
Lu Chao felt his mind become unprecedentedly calm. As his feet flew across the ground, he completely closed the ten-meter gap and arrived in front of the first black sedan.
The gunshots grew closer, ringing right next to his ears.
The two Iron Blood Gang members hiding behind the car door were still firing, their eyes filled with a mixture of shock, fury, and disbelief.
’Seven or eight shots in a row, and every single one missed? Who the hell *is* this guy?’
BAM!!
The thought had barely crossed his mind when a deafening crash echoed out.
Lu Chao, like an unstoppable boulder, slammed his elbow into the car door.
The Iron Blood Gang member hiding behind it coughed up a mouthful of blood as the impact sent him flying. His arm fractured, his pistol was jolted from his grasp, and his entire body slammed into the Sai Wei sedan behind him.
Amidst the BEEP-BEEP-BEEP of the car alarm, his body blocked the line of sight of the men in the car behind.
Seeing this, the other man on the right side of the front car stared wide-eyed, hastily turning his gun to aim to the left.
It seemed he had caught the split-second pause after Lu Chao struck the door.
He was just about to pull the trigger.
But...
SWISH!!
A single steel nail shot through the air and pierced his forehead.
Blood splattered as his body collapsed to the ground.
Without a single glance at the fallen man, Lu Chao, his face an icy mask, charged toward the second Sai Wei sedan.
This car also held four men, but unlike the slow reaction of the first car’s occupants...
...two men from the second car had already gotten out. Based on his intuition, they were both at the peak of the Fighting Level.
The two in the front seats simply raised their guns and started shooting directly through their own windshield.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!!
Amidst the gunfire, the windshield became a web of cracks, but Lu Chao had vanished.
The two men in the front stiffened. Then, they heard a noise from the side window.
Their hearts jumped, and they whipped their heads around to look.
They saw the fighter by the left door hadn’t even had time to react before Lu Chao grabbed his neck and snapped it with a sickening CRACK.
His head lolled to the side, clearly dead.
"Professional Level!"
The other fighter in the back seat, his eyes blazing with shock and fury, instantly realized something was wrong. He could see Lu Chao’s strength far surpassed his own.
But he knew that in a moment like this, retreat was not an option.
"Kill him together!"
"Stall him until Lord Hong and the others get here! He’ll be dead for sure!"
He shouted deliberately, hoping to distract Lu Chao and make him retreat in the face of such odds.
At the same time, fueled by adrenaline and grit, he vaulted up from the right side of the car, landed on the roof, and brought his right leg down in a chopping kick, like a falling War Axe.
WHOOSH!!
As the kick sliced through the air, the two men in the front gritted their teeth and snapped back to their senses.
Swiveling their guns, they both took aim at Lu Chao, ready to fire.
But...
SWISH! SWISH!!
With a flick of his sleeve, Lu Chao sent two more custom steel nails flying. They pierced the glass from an impossible angle and struck both men squarely in the forehead.
With two soft thuds,
...blood splattered. The man on the roof felt his eyes burn with absolute fury.
His downward kick intensified as he suddenly activated a Martial Skill and a Secret Technique, his right leg muscles bulging to amplify his power.
He was about to seize the moment and smash his foot into Lu Chao’s head.
The next instant.
BAM!!
Lu Chao raised his left arm above his head, blocking the kick that descended like a War Axe.
His body didn’t budge an inch. He calmly raised his eyes to meet the gaze of the Iron Blood Gang member standing on the roof.
As their eyes met...
...the man’s heart trembled. A flicker of terror crossed his eyes, and he tried to pull his leg back to change his attack.
But...
CRACK!
Lu Chao’s left arm shot forward, his fingers clamping around the man’s ankle like a claw.
Immediately, strength erupted from his entire body as he brutally swung the man off the car roof and slammed him onto the pavement.
BAM!!
The Iron Blood Gang fighter hit the ground so hard he was left completely dazed, grimacing in agony.
With the sound of shattering bone, he was taken out of the fight in a single move. Both of his arms were fractured, and the pain was unbearable.
His face pale, he tried to kick out with his left leg in a desperate attempt to escape.
Instead...
BANG! BANG! BANG!!
A series of gunshots rang out, piercing his back and head.
Lu Chao’s right hand had been holding the black pistol he’d taken earlier. He showed no mercy, finishing the man off completely.
A pool of deep red blood flowed out, staining the street.
Dusk finally gave way to night. It was impossible to tell if the nearby apartment buildings were empty, or if their residents were simply too terrified to show their faces.
