Chapter 40 Cobra’s Death

In the room, Mia carried Yao`er and covered her ears, curling up in a corner with Bai Wei.

“Xu Mo,” said Mia as she looked outside, feeling a little worried.

“Miss Mia, I’m fine.” Xu Mo returned to his room and put on his battle armor. He then pushed open the door and said to Miss Mia and Bai Wei, “Everything will be fine.”

Looking at the fully armed Xu Mo, Mia was clearly stunned for a moment. Bai Wei also looked like she didn’t know the person in front of her.

“Elder Brother, Yao’er is scared,” Yao’er said softly. “Yao‘er, be good and stay with Elder Sister Mia,” Xu Mo said to her.

“Mn, Yao’er will be good.” Yao’er nodded obediently. Seeing this, Xu Mo smiled and closed the door. Then, he walked downstairs, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam

Old Mister Batu stood behind Xu Mo and watched him walk past.

At this moment, Xu Mo released his powerful perception, and everything around him was imprinted into his mind. Cobra and two gunmen stood outside, while the other two figures had broken through the door and entered the general store.

Bang, Bang.. The two of them had just entered and hadn’t gotten used to the dark environment when they were hit by bullets in the head, falling at the general store’s entrance.

The night had no influence on Xu Mo at all.

At this moment, Cobra’s eyes were fixed on the store. The gunmen next to him raised their guns and fired into the general store from both sides. There were continuous bangs, but no one seemed to be hit.

Bang! The sound of their gunshots had just stopped when one of them was hit by a bullet in the head and fell. At the sight of this scene the second gunner’s body trembled slightly.

Bang! Another shot was fired and the second gunner saw Xu Mo’s figure walking out of the store. At the same time, he also fell lifelessly tothe ground.

Cobra’s gun was also knocked out of his hands. However, he came fully equipped and bullets were of no threat to him.

After that, Xu Mo put away the gun and walked out as he wielded a battle blade.

Cobra’s arms then turned into long and narrow blades, and he stared fixedly at Xu Mo.

“It’s you.” Cobra clearly recognized Xu Mo. He was the one who had killed Moke.

There were some things he couldn’t understand.

However, none of those were important anymore. He wanted the people here dead!

Chi chi..

Sharp piercing sounds rang out and Cobra’s mechanical limbs pushed against the ground. His legs then bounced like springs, causing him to leap into the air.

A long and narrow mechanical blade slashed down at Xu Mo, gleaming like the cold moon. The blade light carried a bone-piercing chill with it.

As the mechanical blade slashed down, Xu Mo raised his battle blade with both arms to block the attack in the air, causing sparks to fly. After that, Xu Mo’s blade borrowed the force and slid forward, slashing toward Cobra’s body.

However, Cobra leaped up again by borrowing the momentum from his blade attack, avoiding Xu Mo’s attack. After that, Cobra did a maneuver and his body was now upside down in the air. His blade slashed toward Xu Mo’s back.

Xu Mo seemed to have predicted his actions, so he dashed forward and performed a roundhouse slash. As a result, the mechanical blade clashed with the battle blade once again, and Xu Mo was pushed back as their positions changed.

Cobra narrowed his eyes, feeling a little surprised by Xu Mo’s battle prowess. Moreover, he still had a trump card hidden up his sleeves.

He could still remember Moke’s death clearly. He mustn’t be too careless.

Chi..

Cobra continued to charge forward while slashing out with his two blades.

With speed, accuracy, and viciousness.

Xu Mo’s mental energy was released to its strongest level, and he was perceiving every single one of Cobra’s actions. He wasn’t panicking but had entered a mysterious battle condition. He was abnormally calm.

Blade lights flashed under the dim lighting, and Cobra’s blades moved increasingly quicker. At this moment, Xu Mo persisted in being on the defense. Although he found it a little hard, he still managed to block most of the blade attacks.

Under this mysterious battle condition, Xu Mo’s perception of energy became stronger. It formed an energy field around him and shrouded his battle blade, causing his strength to become greater and his blade attacks fiercer, allowing him to barely hold on in this situation.

Although he was on the passive side in this battle, Xu Mo’s battle conviction was unprecedentedly strong.

If he lost even his confidence, how on earth was he going to fight?

Moreover, he was facing an opponent who was stronger than him.

At this moment, Mia stood in front of the window and sneaked a look downstairs. She then saw Xu Mo and Cobra engaging in battle.

“Xu Mo,” Mia muttered softly. She felt very unbearable when she saw that skinny and frail body erupting with great power.

However, Xu Mo was battling and she didn’t call out to him. She was afraid that Xu Mo would be distracted.

When Bai Wei saw Mia’s reaction, she also headed closer to the window and looked outside the general store. The cold blade lights immediately came into her sight.

Bai Wei then let out a soft gasp and covered her mouth with her hands. Her eyes instantly turned red.

“It’s him.”

At this moment, how could Bai Wei not be able to guess that Xu Mo was Hunter? It turned out that he had always been around.

The brave young man in her eyes turned out to be Hunter, the person who had saved her in the past. Moreover, he had always been by her side, yet she didn’t know that.

Bai Wei thought back about the little bits and pieces that had taken place during this time. The young man had always kept a warm smile. Upon recalling the scenes, tears streamed down her face and she felt very upset. But thereafter, the strongest emotion she felt was worry.

What should she do?

She realized that she was helpless and couldn’t do anything at all. Cobra’s attacks were extremely sharp, giving off an extremely dangerous feeling. He had mechanical arms, his entire body was covered in armor, and he had eyes that were cold like a venomous snake. Each of his actions had a strong murderous intent as if the only reason he existed was to kill.

Psssht..

Suddenly, a sharp sound rang out. Xu Mo’s battle armor had taken a slash from the mechanical blade and a crack appeared on it. This battle armor was clearly still not good enough to withstand attacks that were too powerful. His body was also pushed back to the general store’s entrance from the impact.

“Xu Mo!” Both Mia and Bai Wei’s countenances changed. However, they saw that Xu Mo’s gaze was still staring at the front, looking resolute. Metal poker cards then appeared in his left hand, and Cobra, who was walking forward, suddenly paused in his footsteps as he stared at Xu Mo’s hand warily.

He still had some lingering fear from Moke’s death, therefore, he clearly wasn’t going to let his guard down.

At this moment, the metal poker cards cut through the air, shooting toward Cobra. The latter’s right mechanical blade then slashed out consecutively, cutting down the poker cards. However, he withdrew both hands immediately, putting up a block in front of his eyes to protect them since they weren’t covered. After that, he walked toward Xu Mo like this, clearly having learned a lesson from Moke’s case.

There was no backing out from this fight.

Xu Mo took in a deep breath and gathered his energy onto the battle blade. After that, he charged forward and slashed down with his weapon, bringing about the sound of gushing wind.

The blade attack came down sharply, and Cobra swung his blade to put up a block.

As a result, another intense collision took place, and Cobra retreated a few steps, but not before his other blade slashed out from below. Unfortunately, Xu Mo was unable to dodge in time, and the mechanical blade struck his battle armor once again, causing a hole to appear in it. A bloody wound then appeared on Xu Mo’s body, dyeing the battle armor red.

He was also pushed back from the impact.

Cobra stared at Xu Mo and moved closer once again. He thought that as long as Xu Mo was without his hidden weapons, he wouldn’t be a match for him. Moreover, since Xu Mo’s battle armor was already broken, he was sure to die.

However, he was very astonished to find out that Xu Mo had such battle prowess. Compared to how Xu Mo was back then, he seemed to have become a lot stronger, as if he had been through a transformation.

“Xu Mo.” Mia dashed downstairs and arrived at the general store’s entrance. She then saw Old Mister Batu’s fat body blocking her way like a wall. The fight outside continued again.

Old Mister Batu turned and looked at Mia, saying to her, “Mia, why did you come down?”

“Father, Xu Mo..” Mia’s eyes were red. She was afraid that something would happen to Xu Mo.

Old Mister Batu sighed when he saw Mia’s gaze. His daughter had grown up.

He then turned and looked at Xu Mo who was fighting against Cobra.

This kid really gave him a surprise. He seemed to have seen his younger self in Xu Mo.

When it came down to it, the hot-bloodedness of youth was really hard to cool down.

Another piercing sound rang out and another crack appeared on Xu Mo’s battle armor. He was once again pushed back to the general store’s entrance. However, his eyes continued to stare at the front coldly. He had no way out, and he couldn’t retreat.

At this moment, Old Mister Batu’s fat body headed down the stairs, and the floor trembled from his weight.

“Father,” Mia called out, and Old Mister Batu said, “Don’t worry.”

He then patted Xu Mo’s shoulder. Xu Mo turned and saw a figure that was like a huge mountain.

Thereafter, Old Mister Batu lifted Xu Mo’s body up, grabbing him by the shoulder and moving him to the general store’s entrance behind them.

Before Xu Mo came to his senses..

Old Mister Batu was already walking over toward Cobra.

Xu Mo realized that he might not understand Old Mister Batu well enough yet.

“Batu.” Cobra knew Old Mister Batu as the latter would occasionally visit the gambling den too. Upon looking at his fat figure, Cobra’s eyes revealed a cold gleam. He then walked forward and slashed down his right mechanical blade. It was as though he could already see his mechanical blade slashing through all the fatty flesh.

However, Old Mister Batu only raised his right hand, and Cobra’s arm slashed onto his palm.

Old Mister Batu then grabbed the blade with his palm, holding onto it with a grip as firm as steel.

Cobra was stunned. In the midst of slashing out his other blade, before he could recover from the surprise, he was already lifted into the air. Old Mister Batu grabbed him by the blade and then threw him fiercely onto the ground.

Bang! A huge sound rang out from the ground as though there was an earthquake. The tremor caused Xu Mo’s heart to shake a little.

“Bring Mia back to her room,” Batu said to Xu Mo.

“Alright.” Xu Mo was astonished at Old Mister Batu’s battle prowess. Had he still underestimated Old Mister Batu?

What was going to take place next might not be suitable for Mia’s eyes. Hence, he turned and said to Mia, “Miss Mia, let’s go up.”

“Ahh..” Mia looked out, having not come back to her senses. Seeing this, Xu Mo took her hand directly and brought her upstairs, while his perception was still keeping an eye on the situation outside. Old Mister Batu slowly walked toward Cobra. Cobra got up and stared at Old Mister Batu, his gaze extremely grim.

“Genetic warrior!” Old Mister Batu wasn’t a modified human nor a pure surpasser that cultivated origin energy. He was a genetic warrior.

Upon seeing Old Mister Batu getting closer, Cobra’s body jumped and he slashed both of his blades downward, aiming for Old Mister Batu’s neck. He wanted to behead Batu.

Clank! The long and narrow mechanical blades landed on their target, but Old Mister Batu’s neck wasn’t chopped off. Old Mister Batu then reached out and grabbed onto Cobra’s arms. As a result, a kacha sound rang out, and the mechanical arms shattered into pieces.

At this moment, Old Mister Batu’s right hand lifted Cobra’s body and repeatedly smashed him toward the ground.

Bang, bang, bang! Many horrifying sounds reverberated in the dark night. Cobra’s body had become deformed. His mechanical body shattered, and his head was tilted to the side in his helmet.

After that, Old Mister Batu dragged Cobra’s body and headed back. He also dragged the other bodies that Xu Mo had killed earlier and threw them into a pile. Dragging five corpses with his two gigantic palms, he walked into the far distance and mumbled to himself, “We’ll have to move house again!”

Xu Mo had already sent Mia back to her room. When he heard Old Mister Batu’s soft mumbling, he was speechless.
