The explosion instantly engulfed the knife-wielding kidnapper and his two or three companions.
After the smoke cleared, several kidnappers, their bodies charred black, lay stiffly backward. The man wielding the knife still stared at Chen Xiao with an unseeing expression, his eyes wide open in death, uttering through gritted teeth, "What...what kind of kung fu is that?!"
"Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall! Thunderbolt Fire Bomb!"
The bewildered kidnapper A, still unconvinced, couldn't help but exclaim, "Wait a minute, kid! You just used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. That's clearly from the Beggars' Sect. How did it turn into some Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall?"
Chen Xiao laughed: "Part-time job, is that not allowed?"
The kidnapper was about to argue when the kidnapper's boss got so angry he almost spat blood. He kicked the pig-headed henchman hard in the leg, knocking him down, and then grabbed a long knife and pounced on him!
It has to be said that this kidnapper leader is a ruthless character. His knife slashes down quickly and viciously, but Chen Xiao didn't even bother to dodge. He simply teleported to a few meters away!
A few meters away, before the other kidnappers could even react, this kid was already right next to them! Chen Xiao raised his leg and kicked them one by one, sending the two kidnappers flying. They coughed up blood in mid-air and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again!
Chen Xiao unleashed his teleportation ability, and the numerous kidnappers were no match for him. With a few teleports, they couldn't even touch a scrap of his clothing before he was right beside them, dispatching them with a few punches and kicks. Chen Xiao possessed superhuman strength, and although he had restrained himself and avoided killing anyone, his attacks were still far beyond the limits of ordinary people. Those who took his blows either coughed up blood or had broken bones; none of them could stand up again.
In the end, as if on purpose, Chen Xiao left only the kidnapper leader and the clueless kidnapper A beside him.
At this moment, the kidnapper leader was truly terrified! He had never seen anything so... so supernatural in his entire life!!
He'd seen his share of capable fighters! But to be as cunning as this kid... was he even human?!
Seeing all his men lying on the ground, he still held the knife, but he had lost all confidence. He hesitated, wanting to just throw the knife away and run, but judging from the kid's speed, he knew he couldn't escape...
Finally, he yelled, raised his knife high, and as if resigned to his fate, slashed down haphazardly.
Chen Xiao didn't even bother with teleportation for this strike. He directly used a move from the "short-range fighting" technique that Lao Tian had taught him, dodging the blade to the side while simultaneously plunging into the arms of the kidnapper leader. Then, he twisted his waist and delivered an uppercut...
Bang!
Then they saw the kidnapper leader's jaw suddenly tilt to one side, most of his teeth sticking out, and he flew into the air. With a thud, his head plunged into the simple wooden plank of the factory ceiling, where he got stuck. He struggled to get down, but he couldn't.
The last remaining kidnapper swallowed hard, looking at Chen Xiao as if he were a god.
He swallowed hard, his face contorted in a grimace: "Hero! What kind of move is this now?"
Chen Xiao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said with a straight face, "Lushan Rising Dragon Strike!"
Kidnapper A finally broke down!
"You're messing with me! I quit! I'm done! One minute it's the Beggars' Sect, the next it's the Thunderbolt Hall! Now even the Rising Dragon Strike of Mount Lu has appeared! Damn it! I may be a little slow-witted, but I'm not an idiot! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
After saying that, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly grabbed the iron rod in his hand...
Bang!!
Instead of smashing it at Chen Xiao, it glared at Chen Xiao with grief and indignation, then slammed it hard onto its own head. The man's head lolled to the side, and he fell down, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
Chen Xiao looked on with regret as the last kidnapper collapsed after injuring himself.
"Sigh, why bother? I... I still have a True Nine Dragons Flash and Pegasus Meteor Fist that I haven't used yet."
Chapter 124 [The Shield]
Ye Xiaonuo was completely terrified.
This was her first time being kidnapped, and the vile and cruel words spoken by the kidnappers filled this delicate young girl with nothing but fear. She imagined the terrible ordeal awaiting her—especially for a beautiful girl like her, death was often not the most terrifying thing! What was terrifying was that heaven knew how these evil people would abuse and torture her.
Locked in the small room by the kidnappers, Ye Xiaonuo nearly fainted several times, but she couldn't help worrying about Chen Xiao... What if something happened to him? She had really dragged him into this mess...
However, judging from Chen Xiao's appearance, he was even comforting himself on the way. Could it be that he has some way?
The girl's innocent heart initially held some hope, but reason had to remind her that Chen Xiao was just a young boy, and what could he do against so many ruthless bandits?
He... he might not even be able to save his own life...
The rough hemp rope had pierced Ye Xiaonuo's fleshy skin until it was red. She leaned against the small room inside. The kidnappers who had locked her in were very careful. They had tied her to a metal pipe. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't even stand up, let alone run away.
Moreover, his face was covered with a black cloth...
Just as Ye Xiaonuo was feeling uneasy and fearful, a series of shouts, curses, and shouts came from outside!
These sounds reached Ye Xiaonuo's ears, instantly making her heart leap into her throat!
What happened outside?
Could it be Chen Xiao?
Ah! Are they beating up Chen Xiao?
Or... are they going to kill Chen Xiao?
Ah! There are screams too! What if they... they've hurt Chen Xiao badly...?
The sounds of banging and clanging outside continued, but gradually, Ye Xiaonuo sensed something amiss.
The screams rose and fell, as if they weren't coming from one person, and... they'd been screaming for so long? If it were Chen Xiao being beaten, he would probably have been knocked down by now, right?
Could something have happened outside?
However, the black cloth covering her eyes also blocked her ears, affecting her hearing. She was also very nervous, and the more she tried to hear clearly, the less she could make it out. Her body struggled back and forth, and the rope on her wrists almost tore her skin raw.
Suddenly, all the sounds outside fell silent. Ye Xiaonuo listened intently, but could hear nothing at all!
Could it be... that they killed Chen Xiao?!
Did they kill Chen Xiao?
