Just now, Jin sent a small concentrated burst of spiritual essence into Bulldog’s arm before sending him flying back.
Typically, using spiritual essence in this manner was relatively harmless; however, injecting such highly concentrated spiritual essence into soone who was not a cultivator would cause it to act as an acidic poison.
So much so that Bulldog’s entire arm was instantly dissolved up to his shoulder before he even realized that it was missing!
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps could be heard coming from upstairs.
The other mbers of the Mad Dogs ca out to see what all the commotion was about.
At first, they thought that it was just everyone being rowdy on the first floor. But, after feeling the second floor shake as a result of Bulldog crashing through the back wall, they were afraid that the run-down orphanage was about to collapse!
However, none of them were prepared for the spectacle that unfolded on the first floor.
"Look, over there! Skullz and Boulder—didn’t the boss send those two on lookout duty? What the hell happened to them?" One of the Mad Dogs on the second floor, He Chang, comnted.
"Damn, what’s going on? Two of our guys are out! Wait, is that soone under that pile of junk? Are we under attack? Hey! Get out here now!" Another mber of the Mad Dogs, ng Wu, shouted as the remaining n hurried out of the rooms on the second floor.
ng Wu was Bloodhound’s right-hand man and acted as second in command of the Mad Dogs. He was the brains of the operation and managed the gang’s inner workings.
"Huh? Who the hell is that kid at the door?" ng Wu questioned with a frown as his eyes landed on Jin.
"Dunno, but I don’t see anyone else with him." He Chang stated.
"Just him? If he really did take out Skullz and Boulder by himself, then he’s one tough bastard. Still, it might be a setup. He Chang, take a couple of the boys outside and make sure there’s no one else. If that guy did co here alone, he’s either brave or stupid. Either way, we have to take care of him before the boss loses his temper." ng Wu said as he released a troubled sigh.
Out of all the Mad Dogs present, ng Wu knew Bloodhound the longest. If there was one thing he learned to avoid in that ti, it was an out-of-control Bloodhound. Once that happened, even the Mad Dogs would not be safe from his wrath!
"Shepard, Dane, you two are with ." He Chang said as two of the Mad Dogs followed him downstairs.
"The rest of you stay here for now. If it is an ambush, we don’t want to show all our cards just y-" ng Wu was speaking until he was abruptly interrupted by an unexpected outburst.
"Where’d he go?! Find him!" Spike shouted as he finally snapped out of it.
Spike’s words caused the other Mad Dogs around him to awaken from their daze, and it did not take long for them to notice that sothing was amiss.
The guy who busted in unannounced had disappeared!
But, Spike and the Mad Dogs did not have to look far.
Jin, who had just been at the entrance, was now next to Qiao Xiaoqing!
However, just as the Mad Dogs were getting ready to rush over, they stopped in their tracks.
"T-this is bad..." Spike muttered as he furrowed his brows.
"Damn, I’m too late...!" ng Wu quietly cursed under his breath.
Jin calmly placed two fingers on Qiao Xiaoqing’s wrist as he circulated his spiritual essence throughout her body. Then, a few monts later, he inwardly released a sigh of relief.
’There’s still a pulse, but her breathing is faint. If this continued any longer, then...’
Jin succeeded in stabilizing Qiao Xiaoqing’s condition; however, it was only a temporary fix. She was still in bad shape and required proper care.
’My spiritual essence is too low to heal her more severe wounds unless it’s with the use of my soul. Since I’ve already split my soul, it’s too risky, but, with this much, her life is not in any imdiate danger.’
Nevertheless, Jin partly blad himself for Qiao Xiaoqing’s current state. He was aware that Wendell would make a move against her; however, since Wendell still needed her to cooperate to achieve his goals, he would not go too far—at least, this was what Jin initially believed.
From the mont Jin chose to take Qiao Xiaoqing under his wing, she was one of his people. In other words, she was under his protection. Lifting a hand against her was the sa as lifting a hand against him. Wronging her was the sa as wronging him!
Jin slowly stood up straight. His usual carefree expression was nowhere to be found.
"Hey... Do ya wanna die?" A cold voice sounded from in front of Jin that belonged to none other than Bloodhound.
At the mont, multiple veins were protruding from Bloodhound’s forehead and neck that seed ready to burst at any given second—he was furious!
Not only did Jin spoil his ga, but he even had the audacity to completely disregard him!
When was the last ti anyone dared ignore him, Bloodhound, the vicious leader of the Mad Dogs?!
Jin remained silent to Bloodhound’s taunt.
However, Jin’s silence served only to further infuriate Bloodhound.
"What? Are ya her boyfriend or sothin’? Well, ya probably ain’t gonna want her anymore seeing how she looks now, huh? I gotta tell ya; she was damn fun. You should’ve seen her squirmin’ when I-"
"Was it you?" Jin asked as he cut off Bloodhound.
"Yeah, I did it. And, what are you gonna do about it?" Bloodhound mocked as he held up the switchblade in his hands nacingly.
There were no signs of hesitation or remorse in his words. In fact, there was even a sense of pride he seed to hold for his "work".
"I just wanted to be sure," Jin replied.
"Hah? If you think I’ll be as easy to take down as those weaklings, you’re dreaming b-"
Before Bloodhound could react, Jin’s fist smashed into his face, caving it in and disfiguring his nose.
Then, in the sa motion, Jin’s hand covered Bloodhound’s mouth and gripped his jaw.
"?!" Bloodhound tried to cry out from the pain, but nothing could escape his mouth, and regardless of how much he struggled, Bloodhound was unable to break free from Jin’s grasp.
Woosh!
Bloodhound rcilessly swung the switchblade in his hand and aid at the side of Jin’s torso!
Snap!
Upon making contact with Jin, instead of cutting through his skin, the switchblade actually snapped in half!
When he saw this, Bloodhound’s eyes widened in disbelief. He began to panic as he felt the grip around his jaw slowly tightening with every passing mont.
Bloodhound sneakily reached his hand into his back pocket. When he pulled it out, there was a set of brass knuckles wrapped around his fingers.
Without hesitation, he launched an uppercut directed at Jin’s chin!
Bang! Crrrrck!
"Mmmph!!!!!"
A muffled cry of pain ca from Bloodhound as all the bones in his hands shattered. Just now, he felt like he punched a block of solid steel!
With only one good hand remaining, Bloodhound grabbed ahold of Jin’s wrist and tried to f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y remove Jin’s hand from his jaw. However, it wouldn’t budge!
Jin’s grip proceeded to tighten at what could only be described as an agonizingly slow rate. Then, finally, he gradually lifted Bloodhound off his feet by his jaw.
To Bloodhound, one second resembled an eternity! He attempted to gasp for air as he had trouble catching his breath. At the sa ti, the disturbing sound of bones slowly being crushed filled the silent first floor.
Bloodhound’s legs flailed about as tears ran down his face, and his eyes started to roll to the back.
ng Wu, He Chang, Spike, and every last one of the Mad Dogs was frozen in fear as they looked on in horror and trembled.
Bloodhound, their ruthless leader whose na alone struck fear into the hearts of others, that sa Bloodhound, was helplessly in tears!
"H-h... Help the boss... Help the boss! What the hell are you all waiting for?!?!" ng Wu shouted at the top of his lungs.
However, no one moved. But, more importantly, he was too late.
Bloodhound’s movents ceased as his limbs went limp, and a stomach-wrenching crushing sound entered the ears of those present.
Just like that, the infamous leader of the Mad Dogs, Bloodhound... was dead!
