Chapter 150 The Bottom Line
Sikong Xinrong was not the true form of a spirit body. He suspected that he was currently only supported by a spiritual energy. If he could find the true form of the spirit body, it would surely be very useful for him. But now was not the time for him to think about this.
Since he had killed Long San, whether the current Sikong Xinrong could still be called a human being, he must die.
Xiao Shun felt extremely sad, and a voice was roaring in his mind. When Long San followed me, he told me that cutting grass should be done at the roots. Perhaps he was right. But I cared too much about all those worldly rules, and now it seems that I was so wrong. When only a part of people would follow these rules, they become completely meaningless. Stillwater had already made this point clear to him. How many rules you needed to follow depended entirely on how much power you had. As long as you had enough power to sweep everything away, you could completely ignore these rules.
I had always believed that I was strong enough. Although I had never thought of saving every person in the world, if I cannot even protect my loved ones, then what use was this strength for me? In the end, this world proved how wrong I was, and as a result, Long San was killed here. He had just said yesterday that he would follow me wherever I went. It was just so ironic!
It seemed that I should draw a clearer bottom line for these people. They must understand where my untouchable bottom line was, and they must know that once they touched it, they would face destruction!
Xiao Shun’s eyes turned red, and a golden halo surrounded his body, making him look like a god as he approached Sikong Xinrong.
“Do you think that the prosperity of the Sikong family in Stillwater for a hundred years is only because of our financial resources? Today, I will show you what true power is! The power from the Holy Spirit!”
Sikong Xinrong’s body shook, and dozens of vines, like a huge net made up of steel cables, with a weight of thousands of tons, fell towards Xiao Shun with such a fierce attack that an ordinary person would have been crushed to pieces long ago.
Sikong Xinrong was like a giant spider, and these vines were like his minions.
“True power?” Xiao Shun sneered. “You’re still too weak.”
Just then, Sikong Xinrong realized that something was wrong.
Those vines suddenly lost their momentum when they got to the front of Xiao Shun, and they turned into dust in the air the moment they touched his body.
Xiao Shun casually lifted his hand, and the otherwise aggressive vines stopped in his hand. He gave them a gentle pull, and the entire trunk was directly pulled off from Sikong Xinrong’s body, and then instantly withered.
“Die!”
The next moment, he suddenly disappeared in the air, and a burst of explosive sound was heard in the room.
Sikong Xinrong quickly realized that something was wrong and hastily raised his hand. As he did so, a giant hand stretched out towards a shadow, and that hand seemed to be wrapped in a tough bark.
Boom!
At the moment when the giant hand touched the figure, it immediately shattered into a bunch of dust. Then, a fist that had emerged from nowhere broke through the energy shield that had formed around Sikong Xinrong’s body, and heavily hit his chest.
His emaciated body flew out like a kite with a broken string. With a loud bang, he crashed through the wall behind him and fell into the next office. All the computers, desks and chairs were instantly smashed, and a hole was left in the thick wall. Sikong Xinrong hadn’t recovered from his shock when Xiao Shun appeared in front of him, and his fist was directly sent against Sikong Xinrong’s chest.
Boom!
Sikong Xinrong’s chest was immediately pierced by the punch!
Only then did Xiao Shun realize that although he still had human skin, it was already nothing but wood inside!
Sikong Xinrong sneered, “The Holy Spirit has given me an immortal body, of course, you mortal can’t kill me!”
“Is that so? It seems that you may not understand the Holy Spirit you’re talking about!”
Xiao Shun suddenly exerted some force with his palm, grabbed the wooden heart in his chest, and pulled it out. He gave it a light twist and it immediately turned into sawdust.
Sikong Xinrong’s eyes widened, and he immediately realized that the inexhaustible power on him was quickly dissipating. He weakly said, “This is impossible!”
Xiao Shun placed the sawdust in front of him. Boom! A cluster of blue flames ignited in his palm, instantly burning the sawdust to ashes.
Sikong Xinrong’s brown eyes gradually lost focus, and he fell down with a bang.
The room also quieted down.
Xiao Shun stood up with a frown, and stared expressionlessly at the corpse on the ground.
A puppet?
And the Holy Spirit in Sikong Xinrong’s mouth might be in the Sikong residence.
At this time, Yao Cen and Zhu Que hurriedly walked over, supporting each other. When they saw what had happened, both of them looked surprised.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“What is this?” Zhu Que asked.
“Spiritual puppet,” Xiao Shun casually said, not explaining any further. He walked quickly to Long San’s side, grabbed his wrist and checked his pulse, and his expression instantly dimmed. With his current cultivation level, there was nothing he could do.
“Long San…” Yao Cen choked, wanting to say something but unable to.
Xiao Shun shook his head lightly, clenched his fists tightly, and his teeth made a creaking sound. The Sikong family must pay the price for this!
Even Zhu Que, who had always been somewhat aloof, couldn’t help but cry. Although she had not known Long San for long, she still felt terrible at this time.
The security guards rushed to the door, and when they saw the mess inside and Long San’s body, they stood there in a daze, saying nothing.
The group was immersed in a depressing atmosphere. After a long time, Xiao Shun looked at Yao Cen and Zhu Que, his voice hoarse, “Zhu Que, escort my wife home first, I’ll take care of the rest here.”
At this time, the Sikong family must think that Xiao Shun was dead, so their family was temporarily safe.
Yao Cen looked at him with a cold face, in her heart she was having mixed emotions. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn’t say anything. Finally, she left the scene hesitantly with Zhu Que.
“Notify the Sikong family to collect the body,” Xiao Shun said to a security guard outside the door.
The security guards were a little stunned when they heard his words.
Sikong family?!
Was that old man sent by the Sikong family?
Did their boss offend the Sikong family, one of the four major families of Stillwater? Will there be more trouble in the future?
“But, Mr. Xiao, what if they call the police?” The deputy captain of the security guards had followed Long San for a long time, so he was slightly bolder than the others. He spoke up, “What if they want to report this to the authorities?”
Xiao Shun waved his hand to interrupt him, “They won’t want this to be known to anyone else.”
Sikong Xinrong, the head of the Sikong family, came to Starline and killed three people in a row. There were surveillance cameras at the company’s entrance, so they couldn’t deny it. And they must have known what consequences would arise if anyone else saw Sikong Xinrong’s body, so they would definitely do their best to cover up this incident.
Xiao Shun was the same. He wouldn’t call the police to solve this matter. The Sikong family must pay the price for what they did.
The security guards nodded hesitantly and left to make the call.
Xiao Shun stood alone in the room, looking at the mess around him. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with a fierce determination.
The Sikong family must pay for their actions. He would make sure of it.
