Chapter 701: Nether strikes

Curisa’s eyes moved down toward his chest. To his horror, Curisa saw that Xiao Luo’s hand had pierced right through the right side of his chest. He could not believe it. His eyes were wide open and the look of surprise on his face said it all—how could a mere mortal have impaled him with his bare hand. What the hell was going on?
He lifted his head and stared at Xiao Luo in confusion. “You… what kind of monster are you…”
All Curisa heard was a heartless grunt as Xiao Luo lifted him with his right hand. Xiao Luo was preparing to give Curisa the final blow, like a lethal viper striking at its prey. He was going to yank Curisa’s heart out.
Immediately, Ming, the man in white, moved in.
SWOOSH!
He unsheathed his long sword and slashed mercilessly at Xiao Luo.
CLANG!
The invisible spiritual blade flashed at Xiao Luo like an icy wind, appearing to slice through the air in a vicious arc. A silent and undetectable stroke that was forceful and unstoppable.
Although Xiao Luo was in a semi-conscious state, he was still alert to the danger. He instantly dropped Curisa and evaded the attack by leaping a dozen meters away.
SWOOSH!
The invisible spiritual blade cut through everything in its path and reached a tall building a few hundred meters away. When it came in contact with the fifty-story building, it clove the structure cleanly in half. The top part of the building toppled and crashed to the ground, creating a gigantic dust cloud. Immediately, they could hear people screaming and alarms triggered and sounded incessantly.
“Huh?”
The police officers who were observing from afar gasped in awe as they stared in horror.
“Oh, my gosh, that man just slashed a building in half with just one stroke!”
“What did I just see? Are they humans or some divine beings?”
“Terrifying, this is truly terrifying. We… We shouldn’t stay here anymore. It’s too dangerous…”
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat as their eyes widened in fear. They stood frozen in complete silence, overwhelmed by the horrifying experience. The scene before them was surreal, and it felt like they were in a horrible nightmare. What they saw could not possibly be happening.
Su Li was also stunned and had a look of shock on her face.
“What the… All it took was a gentle swipe, and he could cut the building in half. How f*cking strong can he be?”
King Kong could not help himself and blurted out expletive-laden words. He was getting goosebumps just from seeing the scene unfold. He felt a chill run through his body and shook uncontrollably. All he could do was stare at that building helplessly. Ming had cut through the building diagonally, and the edges were perfectly smooth, like the surface of a mirror. He made it look as easy as cutting a slab of bean curd.
Xiao Luo’s blood-red eyes turned to look directly at Ming. Facing such a formidable opponent, Xiao Luo did not make his move immediately and erred toward caution.
SWOOSH!
Ming took a step forward and teleported to where Curisa lay. His demeanor remained cold and indifferent as he looked down at Curisa.
“King, I… I…” Curisa tried to speak. Blood was flowing out from his mouth and nose, and the wound on his chest was life-threatening.
“It is not surprising that you could not beat him. He’s from the Xiao Clan!”
Ming stretched his hand and directed a luminous silver beam at Curisa, covering him entirely in a shroud of light.
That was a healing power, and Curisa’s bleeding wounds gradually stopped. The look of agony on his face faded.
“The Xiao Clan? He’s from the Xiao Clan?”
It caught Curisa off guard when he heard Ming’s words, for he was well aware of the Xiao Clan. That clan had arrived at the Arcana Land a thousand years ago in an invasion, and it expanded its territories aggressively. The Light Clan had sacrificed almost half of their entire clan to resist the Xiao Clan. Every member of the Xiao Clan was born with the ability to fight. He had thought that the Xiao Clan had long gone extinct. But he did not expect that some of them had escaped into this world and continued to thrive.
Ming stared at Xiao Luo. Then he said, “Blood-red eyes, incredibly explosive power, and his surname is Xiao. It can’t be wrong. He’s definitely from the Xiao Clan!”
“Gulp!”
Curisa swallowed his saliva with much difficulty. “They’re still alive. King, the Xiao Clan is our clan’s nemesis,” he said as he turned to look at Xiao Luo, and continued, “It looks like he has just begun exploiting the power of Xiao Clan’s blood. There’s still a lot of room for his ability to grow. We cannot let him leave here alive. Otherwise, he will be a serious threat to us in the future!”
Ming did not respond. He was deep in thought about something.
Curisa suddenly remembered something terrible, and his body trembled. He said, “Could it be that he is the demon lord who would destroy the world eventually, as foreseen by Granny Witch?”
When Ming heard that, his expression changed too. He was thinking about that possibility as well. Granny Witch was the Light Clan’s prophet. She knew everything about the world, be it five hundred years ago or in the future. One day, she foresaw the destruction of Arcana Land, and millions of lives would perish. In her prophecy, she saw it would be a man enshrouded by a black mist who will be the one to cause the destruction. It was then that she requested them to locate and bring home the Holy Highness to deal with the impending disaster.
If the demon lord whom Granny Witch had seen in her prophecy and this man from the Xiao Clan were the same, then the wisest choice was to kill him!
However, he wondered if Xiao Luo was the man in question.
If it turned out that Xiao Luo was not the demon lord, then it would mean he was murdering an innocent man.
Ming was dumbfounded, but he finally made his decision. He was going to kill this man from the Xiao Clan. He would rather wrong an innocent man than allow the demon lord to go to Arcana Land.
“People of the Light Clan, don’t think that you can leave this place alive. None of you will!”
Xiao Luo roared fiercely as he stomped his right foot on the ground. A large two-ton rock rose from the ground, then Xiao Luo swiveled his body and kicked the rock.
BOOM! BANG!
With an enormously forceful kick, Xiao Luo sent rock soaring directly toward Ming. It made a loud screeching sound as if a meteorite had zoomed past Earth.
Ming simply pointed at the rock with his index finger, and the flying rock suddenly stopped in mid-air. In the next second, the entire rock exploded and disintegrated into countless pieces of pebbles.
The police officers observing from afar dropped their jaws, for the sight was too terrifying to behold—simply too shocking!
“Haha, haha…”
A loud peal of laughter echoed through the park, and Xiao Luo emerged from the dust cloud. His Nether Claw flashed through the air and was headed directly for Ming’s neck.
Ming remained calm and indifferent. He stabbed Xiao Luo’s palm directly with the sword in his hand like a sharp needle.
SWISH!
The saber pierced deep into Xiao Luo’s right arm, even cutting through the bones, and blood spurted profusely.
“Arghh!”
Xiao Lu groaned in agony as he instantly transformed his right hand into an eagle’s claws, and its dagger-like fingers tore into Ming’s right shoulder with a tremendous force. Xiao Luo had ignored the pain from his right arm and struck Ming even at the risk of hurting himself further.
Ming frowned a little and raised his saber. He pulled the blade from Xiao Luo’s right arm, slicing through bone and flesh.
SPLATTER!
More blood spurted out as Xiao Luo felt an excruciating pain shoot through his body. His attack had failed. He backed off with his damaged right arm. It was soaked in blood with pieces of flesh hanging loosely around the exposed bone.
