Chapter 15

Susan Baker left his chest and abdomen wide open to receive the double swords. If Henry Clark were to kick in this position, it would be far too dangerous for him! The moment a warning rose in his heart, every hair on Susan Baker's body stood on end. His dantian and qi channels burst open, the energy of heaven and earth and his internal force surged violently, true power exploded beneath his feet, his arms spread slightly, and his body, like a flying swallow spreading its wings, was about to retreat backward.

"Ah!" Edward Reed, who had turned around, suddenly let out a sharp screech. Edward Reed no longer had the power to activate talismans, but the Xuan Yin Arrow unleashed with a mouthful of pure heaven and earth energy was still not to be underestimated.

Edward Reed's piercing voice, condensed by internal force, shot out like an arrow, stabbing into Susan Baker's eardrum like a sharp needle, causing his movements to pause for a split second.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!..." Sharp explosive cracks, like the snap of a whip, erupted simultaneously beside Susan Baker's ears. In an instant, nine leg shadows filled Susan Baker's vision.

Susan Baker was utterly horrified. This strike from Henry Clark truly poured down like the Milky Way, nine consecutive kicks surging forth, their momentum sweeping all before them, enveloping everything. That brief pause left Susan Baker with no chance to dodge. He could never have imagined that someone known as a notorious good-for-nothing could possess such a fierce and ruthless kicking technique.

At the brink of life and death, Susan Baker cast aside all distracting thoughts and unleashed his full potential.

"Whoosh..." Even amidst the terrifying blasts of air, the sound of Susan Baker inhaling was still clearly audible. His chest contracted sharply, his body seeming to turn as thin and light as paper, floating softly. Both swords crossed and slashed swiftly, blocking the direction of Henry Clark's kicks.

Before the swords could fall, Susan Baker's lower abdomen had already taken the first kick, and his heart instantly sank to rock bottom. Susan Baker could clearly feel the fierce force penetrating straight into his internal organs, finally exploding with a bang. Not even the surging heaven and earth energy, nor the inner armor on his body, could offset such terrifying destructive power.

Knee, lower abdomen, soft ribs, heart, and neck each took a kick, and the final four kicks all landed on Susan Baker's temples. The thunderous nine kicks utterly destroyed Susan Baker's life force.

The vicious leg power exploded from the inside out, twisting Susan Baker's handsome face into a bloody, mangled mess, even bursting his eyeballs, leaving him looking as wretched as a demon. Susan Baker was not yet completely dead, his heart filled with boundless terror, but his mind could not react at all. Like a torn rag bag, he collapsed limply to the ground in a grotesque posture.

Having succeeded in one move, Henry Clark ignored Susan Baker, used the momentum to turn and step forward, and leapt to the side of the frozen Linda Cooper. Linda Cooper's heart was shattered with fear, but her body was so stiff she couldn't move at all, and could only wait for death with a face full of terror and hatred.

Swinging his arm like an iron whip, Linda Cooper's head exploded under his fist, dying instantly on the spot.

After killing Susan Baker and Linda Cooper in quick succession, Henry Clark finally let out a long breath, white steam rising from his body. That strike to kill Susan Baker had truly used up all his strength. With Henry Clark's cultivation, he could only manage to unleash a chain of nine kicks. If he hadn't killed Susan Baker in one go, Henry Clark would have been in danger!

After ten years at Honglian Temple, Henry Clark had become completely accustomed to this world. Killing or being killed was the norm; life only showed its value amidst bloodshed.

"Big brother, you're so rough, you splattered me with blood!" Edward Reed lowered the sleeve that had shielded her face and complained coquettishly.

"Uh, uh, uh..." Collapsed on the ground, Susan Baker struggled with extreme difficulty to say something, but his neck bones and windpipe had been shattered by the kicks. The sounds he made were even hoarser than Henry Clark's, more like pained groans, completely unintelligible.

Edward Reed tilted her head, frowned, and said with difficulty, "Hey, speak our language, I can't understand you! Or, you could write it out with your hand..."

Henry Clark shook his head slightly and said, "He just can't accept it. He doesn't understand how this could happen!"

Edward Reed clicked her tongue twice. "Still can't figure it out? That's just too stupid! Obviously, the two of us were working together, then tricked you all into coming to kill the monster. After killing the monster, we turned on each other and wiped you all out! Being killed by a famous good-for-nothing, of course you can't accept it, right? It's fine, big brother is really strong, being a good-for-nothing was just his disguise! Hey, now you can die in peace! Remember who killed you, but don't come looking for me as a ghost, okay? I'm most afraid of ghosts..."

Susan Baker's entire body had been ruined by Henry Clark's kicks, and he was only hanging on by a thread of undispersed energy, barely clinging to life. Hearing Edward Reed's explanation, he was filled with hatred and anger, couldn't catch his breath, and his life was finally snuffed out.

Henry Clark affectionately rubbed Edward Reed's little head and said, "Don't worry, if he becomes a ghost, he'll definitely come for me. Also, there's no need to waste words with villains—just kill them directly and thoroughly, or else if they strike back, it'll be a tragedy!"

Edward Reed pushed Henry Clark's hand away impatiently. "Nagging like an old lady! And don't mess up my little horns! It's such a cute hairstyle!"

Henry Clark laughed. "After three years of patience, we finally killed the Fire Bear this time—a huge haul!"

Edward Reed nodded vigorously. "Good thing we found a few idiots to help, otherwise we really couldn't have handled that big guy!" As she spoke, she couldn't help but urge, "Big brother, hurry and open the box, let's see what treasures are inside!"

Henry Clark walked slowly to the box. "According to what I know, boxes like this always have some vicious trap inside. You'd better stay back."

Edward Reed circled the box a few times, blinked, and said, "Sounds dangerous, but I really can't imagine what kind of vicious trap could be inside a box carved from a single piece of black jade!"
