Make a Move!

Make a Move!

Through the light, Gu Shaoshang saw Zhao Liang cough violently several times. His face was waxy yellow, and he looked listless, yet his mouth was as stubborn as ever.

"Fuck, I was suffocating!" Zhao Liang coughed a few times and glared at the bandits.

"You want my dad to release your accomplice? Dream on!" Zhao Liang sneered, showing not the slightest awareness that he had been kidnapped.

"Fuck! You brat's courting death!" The short bandit stepped forward and kicked Zhao Liang in the stomach.

"Spout any more crap and I'll blow your head off!" The long-haired bandit with an earring rose to his feet and swept Zhao Liang with a cold glance.

"Cough!" Zhao Liang spat out a mouthful of blood-streaked phlegm and looked at the bandits filling the room with hatred. For the first time, he felt powerless.

What kind of man Zhao Aiguo was, Zhao Liang knew better than anyone as his son!

Making him compromise was simply impossible! The only outcome would be for the negotiations to fall apart!

I hope Dad's found reinforcements! Zhao Liang gritted his teeth and sighed inwardly.

"Enough! Quiet down!" With a ripping sound, the bald man pulled open his jacket and checked his watch.

"It's almost five! Zhao Aiguo should be here soon. Contact the brothers keeping watch!"

After speaking, the bald man picked up his long blade and walked over to Zhao Liang.

"You'd better pray your old man agrees to my terms! Otherwise... heh heh." A cold smile curled across the bald man's lips.

Not good!

Gu Shaoshang's heart tightened. The bandits standing watch had all been taken out—once they tried to contact them, they would be exposed!

He silently tightened his grip on the bullet in his hand, ready to erupt the instant the iron door opened!

Just then, the thunderous roar of a car engine suddenly came from outside!

Gu Shaoshang heard it clearly—it was Zhao Liang's green Jeep!

He could not help letting out a quiet breath of relief.

The bald man stood rooted like an old tree, and when he moved, he strode with the bearing of a dragon and tiger. He was clearly an expert in Tiger Form!

Gu Shaoshang was not confident he could rescue Zhao Liang completely unscathed.

"Hm? They're here! Come downstairs with me! Chen Fa! Take this brat downstairs! Keep the gun aimed at his head. If anything seems wrong, shoot him dead immediately and run!"

The bald man's eyes lit up as he gave the orders.

"Yes!"

Chen Fa, the long-haired bandit with the earring, answered and hauled Zhao Liang up, pressing his pistol to the back of Zhao Liang's head.

"Buzz!"

The lights in the stairwell came on.

Watching the bandits pull open the old iron-barred door and escort Zhao Liang downstairs, Gu Shaoshang loosened and tightened his hand. Soundless beneath his feet, he followed after them as lightly as a wildcat.

"Dafei!"

When the bald man reached the first floor, he frowned and called out.

The moment the bald man spoke, Gu Shaoshang stomped down fiercely!

Boom!

Gu Shaoshang exploded into motion. The long-neglected little building shook violently, sending dust flying!

With a casual flick, Gu Shaoshang shot out the stairwell light with a bullet!

"Who's there!"

"Not good! Someone's sneaked in!"

"Chen Fa! Kill that brat!"

The bandits erupted into commotion.

With a flying leap, Gu Shaoshang landed on the first floor and pounced straight at Chen Fa, the long-haired youth holding Zhao Liang!

The muscles and tendons throughout his body bulged, making twang twang sounds like taut bowstrings!

In the instant the lights went out, he had already closed in on the long-haired youth!

When lights suddenly go out, a person's vision goes black for a brief moment!

Chen Fa only felt a fierce gust of wind rush at his face. Though he could not see anything, he reacted at once, about to pull the trigger and kill Zhao Liang first!

Still in midair, Gu Shaoshang reached out and grabbed the pistol, explosive force bursting forth from his hand!

With a crack, he crushed the pistol and Chen Fa's fingers flat in one squeeze!

His left hand formed a Fist Seal and smashed into Chen Fa's head!

"Ah!"

Chen Fa felt an intense pain shoot through his fingers. Before his scream had even faded, Gu Shaoshang's fist slammed into his head!

"Crack!"

Chen Fa's scream abruptly cut off as his spine snapped under the tremendous force!

With a muffled pop, Gu Shaoshang's punch drove his head straight into his stomach!

What terrifying strength!

Gu Shaoshang grabbed the struggling Zhao Liang and said in a low voice, "It's me! Get out of the way first!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat!" Some of the bandits heard the scream and opened fire in its direction!

"Who is it? Chen Fa! Fuck!" The bald brute shouted, bullets whistling toward where Chen Fa had screamed!

Before Zhao Liang could speak, Gu Shaoshang exerted force and flung him from the stairs onto the second floor. Then his body rolled sharply, evading the concentrated barrage of bullets!

Gu Shaoshang's mind was as clear as a mirror. In an instant, the positions of everyone on the first floor surfaced in his mind!

His fingers suddenly tensed, and bullets shot from them one after another with the force of handgun rounds, whistling toward the surrounding bandits!

Bang!

The bandit on the left, the quickest to react, had just raised his freshly reloaded pistol when a bullet directly blew the top of his skull off.

Blood and brains splattered all over the floor!

Right after that, his companion's chest was punched through as well.

Then the third, the fourth, the fifth!

Blood flowed across the floor, and the air was thick with the stench of gore!

The Flying Dagger Technique, nearing mastery, displayed power comparable to a handgun in Gu Shaoshang's hands!

Among all the bandits, only the bald brute leading them avoided a fatal blow, though Gu Shaoshang still hit his left leg!

Only then did the green jeep reach the entrance.

Under the headlights, the entire first floor was littered with corpses!

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Who was it?! You beast! Get the hell out here! Come out!"

The bald brute roared madly, on the verge of collapse.

He simply could not imagine that in the blink of an eye, his brothers had been left dead all over the floor, while he had not even caught sight of the enemy!

Zhao Liang stared at the corpses in shock. He had never imagined that a group of gun-wielding bandits could be wiped out by Gu Shaoshang alone!

Gu Shaoshang rose from behind the table and looked at the bald brute expressionlessly.

"You beast! Die!"

The bald brute's eyes split wide with fury. Gripping his Tang Saber, he delivered a savage downward slash.

Though his leg was injured, his sudden eruption was still incredibly swift! Veins bulged along his exposed arm, and the blood vessels on the hand gripping the hilt stood high!

A snow-white blade light tore through the air and came chopping down at his head. Clearly, he hated Gu Shaoshang to the bone and wanted to cleave him in two with one slash!

Fists and feet were different from weapons. With a blade in hand, a cold-weapons master's combat power could soar more than tenfold!

Gu Shaoshang raised an eyebrow, springing aside beneath the blade light.

He extended a hand. The force of the Eight Trigrams Palm coiled upward like a serpent, slipping past the edge of the blade before pressing and flicking against its back!

"Ah!"

The bald brute felt an immense force surge through the saber, sending agony through the web of his thumb! He could no longer hold on to it!

With a clang, the Tang Saber shot backward, burying itself deep in the wall as it hummed and trembled without end!

The Eight Trigrams Palm excelled at disarming blades barehanded. In the original work, when Tang Zichen sparred with Lin Tingfeng, the Nine Palaces Sword master, she used the innate qi of the Ox-Tongue Grass-Rolling Force from the Eight Trigrams Palm to crush his sword with one grab!

Though Gu Shaoshang had not yet reached major mastery, with his exaggerated physical qualities, dealing with a martial artist who had not even reached the peak of Clear Force was naturally no challenge!

Having sent the Tang Saber flying with one move, Gu Shaoshang suddenly advanced. His arm whipped sharply sideways—the Tai Chi move, Advancing Guarding Hammer!

Gu Shaoshang's clothes stuck to the air, producing a sharp crack like firecrackers suddenly exploding!

This Guarding Hammer was like a staff sweeping sideways, striking the bald brute squarely in the chest.

The bald brute's nearly two-hundred-pound body was sent flying like a cannonball!

He crashed heavily into the wall with a thunderous boom!
