Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty Chapter 269: Fierce Moves Like a Tiger

On the isolated island, in the hall of the Civilization Book Club, everyone’s eyes were glued to the big screen.

"Hahaha, it really is the Night Demon."

"I’ve seen the Night Demon from a distance once before, dressed just like that."

"If I rember correctly, the Night Demon’s mutant ability should be ’Shadow,’ capable of both attack and concealnt, very difficult to deal with, especially at night, when his ability gets even stronger."

"This ti, Lu Xiao is dood!"

Many who had bet on Lu Xiao’s death were already showing excited expressions.

At the mont, the odds of Lu Xiao being killed had reached 2.9.

aning, if Night Demon kills Lu Xiao, their money would triple.

One million would turn into nearly three million.

"Are you sure Liuli Hong won’t make a move?" soone in the crowd suddenly asked.

"He probably won’t, Liuli Hong reached an agreent with the major mutant organizations before, saying he won’t intervene unless there’s a fourth-tier."

"It’s said that Liuli Hong wants Lu Xiao to rapidly improve his strength through life and death experiences."

"Speaking of which, the Seventeenth Bureau is ruthless, not hiding such a treasure but actually exposing him openly."

"But if Lu Xiao really survives this ti, the status of the Seventeenth Bureau is definitely going to rise a lot."

Heavenly n were generally not much respected by mutants.

It wasn’t just because the Heavenly n were older, but more importantly, they didn’t possess any special abilities.

Being stronger at the sa tier, what does it matter? How many are the Heavenly n? All the Heavenly n of the Seventeenth Bureau combined were just forty or fifty. What about the mutants? Thousands of registered mutants worldwide.

If they can’t beat one-on-one, what about two-on-one, three-on-one?

"Alright, stop arguing, let’s talk after Lu Xiao is dead."

...

In the courtyard, the Night Demon didn’t directly use his ability to fight.

After all, he wasn’t here to kill Lu Xiao, but to... act with Lu Xiao.

Irina had said, play it well and you’ll get a chance to confess your feelings to her.

Lu Xiao didn’t take action either; he wasn’t sure if the guy in front of him was genuinely here to kill him, or had already talked to Irina about playing along.

If the other party was here to act, then it would be sowhat unreasonable to kill him in two or three moves.

If he had known earlier, he should have asked Irina clearly; it was all because he hung up the phone too quickly.

"Wait a second, I have sothing very important," Lu Xiao shouted to Night Demon, then took out his cell phone.

Lu Xiao quickly sent a ssage to Irina.

The content of the ssage was simple, just a photo of Night Demon and a question mark added.

Soon, Irina’s reply ca, also simple, an OK gesture plus four words: "Make it look real."

"Alright, then... co on!" After putting down the phone, Lu Xiao charged towards the Night Demon.

Seeing Lu Xiao’s attack, the Night Demon pushed his hands through the air, then his whole person blended into the night.

"Shadow, huh?" Lu Xiao muttered softly to himself, his mind more focused than ever.

He had seen about this ability in the Mutant Handbook, described as the strongest assassination mutant ability, so Lu Xiao rembered it very clearly.

"Barrier, activate!" Lu Xiao shouted softly, and Inner Qi burst out from his body instantly.

Feeling the massive and thick Inner Qi within, a trace of excitent couldn’t help but show on Lu Xiao’s face.

Is this what Third-tier is like? It definitely feels more robust than Second Order, as if it’s unending.

As soon as Lu Xiao’s Inner Qi Barrier was activated, a pitch-black dagger was thrust at him.

"Thud!" The dagger struck the Inner Qi Barrier, emitting a dull booming sound.

Just as Lu Xiao was about to counterattack, the Night Demon’s figure once again disappeared into the night, reappearing behind Lu Xiao two seconds later, thrusting another dagger into the Inner Qi Barrier.

Before Lu Xiao could turn around, the Night Demon disappeared for the third ti.

Then, appearing again, he struck the Inner Qi Barrier and disappeared, repeating the process.

The entire scene was just Lu Xiao foolishly standing there, while the Night Demon attacked from all directions.

Lu Xiao appeared clueless, and the Night Demon seed crazy.

There was no actual harm done, but the scene was definitely lively.

Especially for the gamblers in the hall of the Civilization Book Club, Lu Xiao standing still combined with the Night Demon’s frenzied attack was like a shot of adrenaline, exciting and exhilarating them.
