Chapter 2

C2 – Tendon Cutting Broken Bone Hand

In an instant, Wang Xiao’s expression changed drastically. He swiftly grasped Tong Waner’s head, who was still eating, and placed her on his lap.

A glint of icy cold light streaked through the space where Lin Waner had been seated and surged towards Wang Xiao. Though confined to his seat, Wang Xiao managed to catch the sharp cold light with his teeth.

Upon inspecting the object, Wang Xiao found it to be a pitch-black flying knife.

“Big Brother Wang Xiao, what are you doing?”

Tong Waner found herself pressed between Wang Xiao’s legs, her face flushing red. She sat up and pouted at him.

Tong Waner wondered when Big Brother Wang Xiao had become so mischievous, even trying to take advantage of her.

As Tong Waner looked up, she also noticed the black flying knife in Wang Xiao’s mouth. Her expression changed slightly.

Judging from the trajectory of the flying knife, it seemed to have flown from behind the seat she had occupied earlier.

If Wang Xiao hadn’t pressed her head down, the flying knife would have pierced through her head by now.

The realization of this danger made Tong Waner feel like she had just narrowly escaped a calamity.

Ignoring Tong Waner’s question, Wang Xiao kept a cold gaze fixed on the broken window and responded icily, “Since you’re already here, why not come in and join us? How about sharing a meal together?”

Bang!

As soon as Wang Xiao’s voice echoed, two figures clad in black attire leaped through the shattered window. They held daggers firmly, their gazes fixed intently on Wang Xiao.

“I thought dealing with the bodyguards outside would make the task a breeze. Little did I know there’s a skilled expert in this mansion!”

One of the black-clad individuals licked the edge of his dagger, casting a cold and disdainful look towards Wang Xiao.

“What have you done to brother Tong Hu and the others?”

Alarmed by the revelation that the black-clad men had incapacitated the bodyguards, Tong Waner’s expression changed as she hurriedly confronted them.

Tong Hu, her protector for over a decade, held a special place in her heart as a beloved older brother.

“Haha, don’t worry about them. They’re merely unconscious. It’s you we’re here to eliminate!”

The black-clad man sneered coldly at Tong Waner, his eyes filled with intense killing intent, seemingly unmoved by her appearance.

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clad man sprang into action, wielding his sharp dagger and aiming it directly at Tong Waner.

His speed was astonishing, intending to take her down with a single lethal strike.

A sudden pallor washed over Tong Waner’s face as her crystal-clear eyes widened upon spotting a menacing black dagger rapidly approaching her. Although she wanted to dodge, her limbs felt weak and unresponsive.

The Black-clothed Man wore a cruel smile as he saw Tong Waner paralyzed with fear, realizing that she would soon complete her mission.

“Big Brother Wang Xiao, I must leave now. Please take care of yourself!” Tong Waner said with a tremor in her voice.

In despair, Tong Waner closed her eyes, fully aware that even Tong Hu and the others were knocked unconscious, leaving her fate sealed.

Just as the black dagger hovered inches away from Tong Waner’s throat, a large hand suddenly materialized in front of her, grabbing the weapon firmly.

“My woman, did you think you could harm her so easily?”

A soft voice echoed through the villa, reaching the ears of the two Black-clothed Men. Wang Xiao gazed at them indifferently, as if they were already lifeless corpses.

Having decided to pose as Tong Waner’s fake fiancé, Wang Xiao understood that he had a responsibility to protect her as a man should!

Plop...

Before he could comprehend what had transpired, a blood bracelet, formed from blood beads, appeared on his wrists, and his two palms separated from his arms, causing blood to spurt from the wounds.

“Ah, my hands... Eh!”

The expression of the Black-clothed Man wielding the dagger instantly changed as he witnessed both of his palms falling off. Terror filled its eyes, and it let out a cry of alarm, but before it could finish speaking, its voice abruptly stopped.

A bright red blood necklace had slowly appeared on its neck.

The Black-clothed Man widened its eyes, mouth agape, and lunged forward.

“Such incredible speed with the blade! In the blink of an eye, he severed both of First A’s hands and killed him!”

Horrified, the other Black-clothed Man exclaimed upon witnessing the scene. Without hesitation, he turned around and fled out of the villa.

Dealing with an expert like this was beyond what a bronze-level assassin like him could handle.

“You think you can leave without asking me first?”

Wang Xiao’s face turned cold. He flicked his finger, and the dagger in his hand transformed into a cold light, shooting towards the Black-clothed Man.

The dagger pierced through one of the Black-clothed Man’s thighs, eliciting a muffled sound, but he continued to climb over the wall in an attempt to escape.

“Waner, go check on Tong Hu and the others. I’ll pursue him!”

Wang Xiao turned around and gave instructions to Tong Waner before setting off in pursuit.

“Big Brother Wang Xiao, be careful.”

As Wang Xiao chased after her, Tong Waner clenched her teeth, feeling worried. She gazed at Wang Xiao’s departing figure with gentle eyes.

Since when did Big Brother Wang Xiao become so formidable?

Could it be true that Big Brother Wang Xiao had really left home to train on the mountain? Was that the reason for his newfound power?

In the quiet street, Wang Xiao swiftly caught up to the injured Black-clothed Man.

“Tell me obediently, who sent you to assassinate Waner!” Wang Xiao coldly interrogated the wounded Black-clothed Man in a deep voice.

Wang Xiao stared at the injured man, his expression indifferent yet intense, as he asked the question.

“Dream on. I won’t tell you anything. You can kill me if you want; I don’t care. I’d rather die than talk!” The Black-clothed Man disdainfully retorted to Wang Xiao.

The Black-clothed Man coldly harrumphed and responded with contempt.

“Die?” A cold smirk formed on Wang Xiao’s lips upon hearing this. He looked at the Black-clothed Man with an icy smile and said, “Sometimes, death is the easy way out, but living can be the most excruciating torment!”

“What do you want to do?”

The Black-clothed Man’s expression changed as soon as it heard this, and a trace of fear flickered in its eyes while looking at Wang Xiao.

“Lately, I’ve been mastering an extraordinary technique called the Tendon Splitting and Bone Breaking Hand. Would you be interested in learning it together with me?” Wang Xiao asked, wearing a sly grin.

Wang Xiao approached the Black-clothed Man with a smirk on his face.

Upon hearing the words “Tendon Splitting and Bone Breaking Hand,” the Black-clothed Man’s face turned pale instantly, and a hint of resolve flashed in its eyes, as if it was about to say something.

“Who would have thought that the assassin would resort to this method of suicide? It seems quite old-fashioned, don’t you think?” Wang Xiao remarked casually.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao forcefully covered the Black-clothed Man’s mouth and delivered a punch, knocking out a few teeth. Then, he extracted a hidden poison sac from the broken teeth, wearing a faint smile.
