Seeing Liu Dongsheng’s eerie actions, everyone widened their eyes in surprise.
The man held two axes, his bushy eyebrows slightly knitted. Even though he had been somewhat negligent earlier, the speed exhibited by Liu Dongsheng had caught him off guard. As an expert from the Dragon List, he couldn’t believe he let his opponent slip away—it surely wasn’t just coincidence.
At this moment, Liu Dongsheng’s limbs touched the ground, slowly moving around the man, his gaze fixed intently on his target, like a beast lurking in the shadows, exuding a chilling aura, always ready to pounce and bite his prey to death.
Watching Liu Dongsheng’s expressions, for some reason, Kaelina, who was in the lab, couldn’t help but think of Ling Chen. She had spent so much time with him and had fought alongside him. She had felt the same chilling cold emanating from him.
As an Assassin, she knew what such an aura meant.
It was a special killer instinct, only cultivated through countless dangers at the edge of life and death, after slaying countless people. Moreover, the aura emanating from Liu Dongsheng was much stronger than that of Ling Chen, which meant Liu Dongsheng had encountered death far more times.
Even though there were many people present, most of them experts, they were still surprised by the aura emanating from Liu Dongsheng.
Facing Liu Dongsheng’s gradually blood-red eyes, a chill surged through the man’s feet.
"Xu Yong, what are you waiting for? Kill him quickly; don’t waste time."
Hearing his companion’s urging, Xu Yong no longer delayed. He swung the two axes in his hands and quickly rushed forward, aiming a powerful blow at Liu Dongsheng’s head.
Seeing Xu Yong’s attack, Liu Dongsheng supported himself with his hands on the ground, suddenly exerting force, his body shot up, and he pounced towards Xu Yong. Simultaneously, Liu Dongsheng extended his hands, his fingers equipped with sharp spikes, resembling vicious claws.
Facing Liu Dongsheng’s leap, Xu Yong immediately changed his move—both axes swept horizontally from left and right aiming fiercely at Liu Dongsheng’s wrists, attempting to sever them completely.
At this critical moment, Liu Dongsheng’s body suddenly leaned back, his hair narrowly escaping the axes’ blades. Dodging the axes, Liu Dongsheng didn’t pause for a moment and continued rushing forward. In the blink of an eye, Liu Dongsheng was already close to Xu Yong, swinging his claws fiercely.
In an instant, several slash marks appeared on Xu Yong’s chest, blood dripping profusely.
Landing a hit, Liu Dongsheng did not pursue further but instead performed a backflip, instantly escaping Xu Yong’s range of attack and maintaining a distance of three meters.
Though it seemed slow, the speed displayed by Liu Dongsheng had surprised everyone present. All the experts watched Liu Dongsheng stupefied, their eyes filled with unconcealed amazement.
They could sense that Liu Dongsheng was not a martial artist, but his speed surpassed many skilled fighters. Xu Yong was after all an expert of the Dragon List, yet Liu Dongsheng had not only matched him but even managed to wound him, a feat that astonishingly impressed everyone.
In front of the surveillance screen, Hu Fei’s eyes closely followed Liu Dongsheng, moving with him. Hu Fei was well aware of Liu Dongsheng’s true identity, and at this moment, his face showed little concern.
In the lab, Kaelina kept her eyes fixed on Liu Dongsheng, never shifting her focus away.
Previously, during their joint operations, she had been guessing Liu Dongsheng’s identity, but nothing about his abilities had seemed particularly extraordinary. However, now, seeing the tiger tattoo on Liu Dongsheng’s back, she finally remembered that person who once had a glorious past.
Never did I expect, in my lifetime, to see him and witness his elegance.
At this moment, Xu Yong, injured by Liu Dongsheng, had an iron-blue face; it seemed like flames could spurt from his chilling gaze, fuelled by rage.
"Good, very good!" Xu Yong clenched his twin axes and gritted his teeth, saying, "You’re quite skillful. I want to see how long you can last."
As his words fell, Xu Yong surged forward, quickly closing the distance to Liu Dongsheng. His ax swung fiercely, whistling through the air. The powerful force burst forth in an instant, giving one the impression of a Powerful Slash.
Feeling the intense pressure all around him, Liu Dongsheng’s eyes narrowed and without hesitation, he swiftly sidestepped, dodging the axes of Xu Yong.
Not giving Xu Yong a chance to change his tactic, Liu Dongsheng slid his foot and passed underneath Xu Yong in an extremely bizarre posture. Xu Yong only saw a flickering figure before he could capture Liu Dongsheng’s form, and the other had disappeared from his view.
The next second, a sharp pain surged, nearly making Xu Yong cry out loud.
Turning around, everyone looked at Xu Yong’s blood-soaked back, involuntarily gasping. They had not expected Xu Yong to be outmaneuvered by Liu Dongsheng again, resulting in severe injuries.
"Damn it, I’ll slaughter you!"
Xu Yong roared furiously, glaring deadly at Liu Dongsheng. He violently threw his heavy axes directly at Liu Dongsheng.
However, spotting the incoming axes, Liu Dongsheng didn’t seem bothered. He moved nimbly, stepping away from the spot before the axes reached, easily dodging Xu Yong’s attack.
At the same time, Liu Dongsheng tipped his toe, swiftly advancing like a gust of wind, reaching Xu Yong again with a swipe of his claw.
Blood spattered, and new wounds were added to Xu Yong’s body.
Although witnessing Liu Dongsheng’s attacks nearing, Xu Yong’s defensive moves were somehow always a beat too slow to effectively defend himself.
Observing Xu Yong’s progressively slowing movements, the experts watching frowned.
"Big brother, it seems Xu Yong..."
The slightly older man nodded and said, "That guy’s claw must contain poison. Xu Yong’s slowed speed is surely due to the toxin. Enough! Stop wasting time. All of you, attack together, make it quick, don’t keep Mr. Lin waiting."
As soon as the voice fell, seven or eight men stepped forward, each wielding a weapon, and charged towards Liu Dongsheng.
Seeing these people attacking, Liu Dongsheng’s expression instantly turned solemn, his eyes flickering coldly, radiating a bloodthirsty glow.
At that command, several men immediately quickened their pace. In a few strides, they reached Liu Dongsheng and their sharp swords and knives thrust towards him.
Facing the group’s offense, Liu Dongsheng suddenly let out a tiger’s roar, leaping high from the ground, instantly dodging the siege. Following that, he deftly tapped the shoulder of one of the men with the tip of his foot, breaking through the encirclement.
