The henchman immediately dared not utter another word. He quickly stepped forward and shoved Chen Xiao, trying to drag him out of the factory. As he pushed him, he hissed, "Hey, kid! Don't blame me on your way to the underworld! It's your own family's refusal to pay that forced us to take your life! It's just your bad luck!" Chen Xiao was pushed, but he didn't budge. He stood there with a strange smile on his face.
He looked at the kidnapper leader and smiled slightly: "Sorry, I was going to keep playing with you guys, but as you just heard, my boss at home ordered me to go back as soon as possible, so I can't waste any more time here with you guys. When my boss's hair stands on end, it's even more terrifying."
The kidnapper leader stared at Chen Xiao in astonishment. His face was full of absurdity, as if he were looking at an idiot, or as if a flower had suddenly grown out of Chen Xiao's nose.
After a while, the kidnapper leader couldn't help but burst into laughter, pointing at Chen Xiao's nose and cursing, "Do you think this kid's scared out of his wits? Hahaha!! Do you think this is child's play? Want to go back? Fine! I'll send you to your grave!"
He was also furious. He snatched a gun from one of his men, pointed it at Chen Xiao's head, clicked the safety off, and sneered, "Kid, you're just unlucky!"
As he spoke, his index finger rested on the trigger, ready to press it down...
But the next moment.
With a whoosh, the kidnapper leader felt a blur before his eyes, and when he looked down, he found his hand empty. The gun had somehow gone off and ended up in Chen Xiao's hands!
Looking at Chen Xiao again, he seemed to still be standing in the same place, except that he had a gun in his hand and was fiddling with it.
Chen Xiao quickly ejected the magazine. Then he ejected the bullet that was already loaded into the chamber, fiddled with the empty gun in his hand for a moment, and couldn't help but chuckle: "A replica of a Type 54. Do kidnappers use this kind of firearm nowadays? Seems a bit outdated, doesn't it?"
This is unbelievable!
The kidnapper leader's expression changed instantly, and his many henchmen reacted as well. Seeing that the gun was in the hands of this hostage, they all paled, and some of the quick-reacting ones had already drawn their guns and pointed them at Chen Xiao.
"Are you all stupid! Kill this kid!" the boss ordered.
Just as the men were about to fire, they suddenly felt as if their guns were being violently pulled apart by an invisible, powerful force...
Whoosh...
Then, several loud snapping sounds were heard, and all nine pistols in the hands of the nine kidnappers suddenly flew out of their grasp and automatically flew towards Chen Xiao, all landing in his arms!
They saw a group of kidnappers, their hands empty, their faces as if they had seen a ghost, staring at each other in disbelief. Chen Xiao, on the other hand, was holding a large handful of guns, which he casually tossed aside on the ground.
"Wow!! Boss, this kid is a monster!!" the kidnapper A cried out, his face pale.
"A monster?" The kidnapper leader was also a little panicked. He had made a living in this line of work all his life. Was this divine retribution?
But……
"What the hell?!" The kidnapper leader steeled himself, a surge of ferocity rising within him. He roared, "Are you all stupid?! There are over a dozen of us, are we afraid of this kid?! Damn it, does this kid know some kind of evil magic? Everyone grab your weapons and break his bones!!"
The kidnapper leader thought to himself: Even without guns, a dozen of us against one kid, surely we can take him down? Besides, this kid's wrapped in bandages, and one hand is bound like a dumpling, he can only move one hand. Damn! My dozen or so brothers are no match for a half-crippled guy?!
"Kill him!!"
The leader yelled, and the kidnappers immediately sprang into action. These guys were all ruthless criminals; at his command, half of them pulled out daggers or short knives from their bodies or waists.
The rest turned around and went to find weapons. Weapons were not hard to find in the factory. Soon, the other kidnappers picked up some wooden sticks, iron pipes or watermelon knives and other such things. A dozen or so people surrounded Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao remained calm, showing no surprise or fear whatsoever. He looked at the dozen or so kidnappers around him, sighed, and spoke in a very benevolent tone.
"Actually... I really don't want to hurt anyone."
Whoosh!
One of the kidnappers swung a knife at Chen Xiao, who swayed in place. Everyone saw a blur before their eyes, and the boy vanished into thin air! The next instant, he reappeared behind the knife-wielding kidnapper.
"Wow! This kid knows kung fu! Boss!!" the kidnapper A exclaimed in surprise.
"Screw you! Chop him up!!" The leader was also a little scared.
Chen Xiao teleported behind the kidnapper, raised his hand, and slapped the kidnapper on the back.
Even though Chen Xiao hadn't used his full strength, a strike from a B-rank expert like that was still far beyond what an ordinary person could withstand.
The kidnapper screamed and flew seven or eight meters away, crashing into the factory wall. He coughed up blood and collapsed.
The kidnappers were stunned!
Holy crap! Is this a martial arts film?
I've seen people who can fight, but I've never seen anyone fight like this! That's a huge, living person! Not a mosquito! It just flew away without a single slap? It really flew away?!
One of the kidnappers, who had already thrust his dagger forward, froze, instinctively asking, "What... kind of kung fu is this?"
Chen Xiao looked at the dumbfounded guy in front of him, and secretly chuckled. He suppressed his laughter and shouted, "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the Dragon Regrets!"
The kidnapper's henchman immediately shouted again, "Boss, this is bad! This kid is from the Beggars' Sect!!"
"Go to hell!"
The kidnapper with the dagger was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this kid was probably trying to trick him. Before he could thrust the dagger forward, Chen Xiao had already grabbed his wrist. With a slight tightening of his fingers, the kidnapper's wrist snapped with a crack—it was broken!
Chen Xiao snatched the dagger, weighed it in his hand a couple of times, and threw it at the nearest kidnapper. The poor kidnapper, seeing the dagger flying towards him, suddenly shouted, "Well done!"—this guy had probably read too much Water Margin, but who knows where he picked up this gangster's bravado.
He was indeed quite skilled; he was originally carrying a watermelon knife. Seeing the dagger flying towards him, he nimbly shifted his body to the side, sliding his feet down. He dodged, raised the watermelon knife, aimed at the incoming dagger, and slashed down on its head!
It's clear that this kidnapper is a skilled fighter, and his techniques are quite impressive!
However... Chen Xiao didn't intend to use the dagger he threw to shoot someone...
The kidnapper had clearly and accurately struck the flying dagger with his blade, and was even somewhat smug, thinking to himself, "Luckily, I've practiced swordsmanship for a few years..."
But as soon as that thought crossed my mind, I realized something was wrong!
boom!!
The flying dagger suddenly exploded!
