Chapter 1089 The Old Patriarch

Xia Shou ignored the other party and asked, "What are your respective ability levels? Are there any below level two?"

The ronin didn't respond at all, and continued to say to himself, "Your ability's activation range should be very short, right? And the space you can cut is probably only about the length of his calf."

Indeed, this is a troublesome ability for others, but it doesn't seem to be an ability that can handle multiple opponents... Hmm, it seems you have a lot of confidence in your companions.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ronin's sword and the hand holding it vanished in an instant.

Blood spurted from the severed area of ​​his elbow.

He stared blankly at his missing right hand, his expression slowly shifting from shock to terror. His mouth opened in a grotesque scream: "Ahhh!! Ahhh!! My...my hand! My hand!"

The Tiger King watched this scene in astonishment, a deep fear rising within him.

The ronin's pathetic and miserable appearance did not make him feel gloating, because he knew very well that the reason why the ronin looked so ugly with only one arm was because this man had never been seriously injured before.

He had several conflicts with the ronin at Angang's house. Although there was no clear winner or loser in each battle, he knew in his heart that the reason he did not lose was simply because he was tough.

The ronin's strength was innate, so he had never tasted true pain.

But why... did the ronin, who always reacts automatically to attacks, fail to react this time?

"You! Go! What are you all standing there for?!" The ronin shouted hoarsely, clutching the wound on his arm, as he retreated to the back of the crowd.

"So weak," Su Weiyu commented.

"It's probably just related to his superpower and fighting spirit, otherwise he wouldn't be so weak," Xia Shou said calmly. "Because cutting off his hand consumed quite a lot of his magical power."

After speaking, Xia Shou strode forward, and the distance between them quickly closed.

The crowd began to retreat. None of An Gang's guests attacked. Everyone looked at Xia Shou in horror, and at the same time looked at the others around them in confusion.

Everyone was wondering why no one was attacking the masked man.
This guy is indeed very strong, but they have a contract with An Gang's family, and they are all desperate criminals, so what are they afraid of dying for!
However, this question also makes them question themselves: Why don't they take action themselves?

Soon, some people noticed this, and some began to realize that they had no fighting spirit whatsoever when facing this man wearing a crying-laughing mask!
So at An Gang's house, a strange scene unfolded: Xia Shou and An Gang's thugs acted like two magnets repelling each other, one advancing while the other retreated.

"Go on!"

"Why don't you fucking get on me?!"

"Damn it, are we just going to let him in like this?! We have a contract with the old man!"

"That's you guys. I only work as much as I eat."

The group of retainers started arguing amongst themselves, but Xia Shou paid them no mind.

In this standoff between the two sides, he thought of Sprite instead.

Sprite... she's really strong.

Xia Shou is now activating the ability he gained after devouring Sprite—[This power is unmatched].

Now he can clearly see every aggressive thought that arises from these people, and he can cut through these thoughts.

So when these people faced him, just like when he stood in front of Sprite a while ago, even though they possessed power, they didn't make any offensive moves.

For Sprite, this suppression was probably better than nothing.

But for him, the benefits of such suppression are immeasurable.

Battles between superhumans depend on their level and abilities. When outnumbered, the side with fewer superhumans is at a significant disadvantage. However, [This Power Is Unrivaled] can completely eliminate this advantage, just like it is now.

It can be said that the power of life and death over most of these people is in Xia Shou's hands; if he wants, he can quickly carry out a massacre.

Like slaughterhouse machines butchering pigs, like the cleanup crew of the Split Slaughter Control Bureau.

But Xia Shou didn't want to do that; he wanted to avoid as many deaths as possible.

A large number of these people are Level 3 or above superhumans. After they die, their cursed power will immediately dissipate, and the civilians in the city will also be negatively affected.

What's more, there was a driver behind him who had fainted from fright.

If Alice were here, he could use the Shadow to directly devour the corpse, but now that the Shadow's access and use are restricted, he has no way to do so.

So this is what a powerful family looks like... No wonder the Bureau of Control doesn't like to deal with them.

"What a bunch of useless bastards."

An old voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd.

The moment the voice appeared, Su Yue, Su Weiyu, and Jiang Wengao all changed their expressions and got goosebumps all over their bodies.

Xia Shou squinted at the only eye that was open, thinking that real trouble was about to begin.

"Old...Old Master?" The retainers turned to look in the direction the voice came from, but when they saw the figure, everyone's expression froze.

This person... is he the former head of the Angang family?
No way.

How could the owner of Angang's house be such a monster!
Although some of them had exchanged a few words with this imposing old man from afar through the heavy curtains, this was the first time they had seen him in person.

However, the appearance of this being was beyond everyone's imagination; it was far too terrifying.

"Squeak-"

The wooden floorboards in front of the main house were slightly deformed by two large, brass-colored feet, and two leg bones resembling withered tree branches supported the emaciated body.

His skin was bronze, like a bronze statue, and half of his face had a benevolent smile, while the other half had a wrathful and imposing appearance, like some kind of guardian deity.

On either side of his central head, there is a Rakshasa face and a Yaksha face, for a total of three heads and six arms. His posture is like that of a guardian Vajra in Buddhism, but his appearance is similar to that of a demon.

This is not human at all; this is an abnormal being!

"Brother Xia Shou, the death lines on this person's body... are very thin," Su Yue whispered a reminder.

"Hehehe (three times)" The three heads of the old Angang family patriarch simultaneously emitted laughter of different emotions, and then two of their arms suddenly clasped together.

In the space directly in front of him, five or six retainers were pushed and jostled towards the center as if by two transparent walls.

The immense pressure instantly exceeded the limits of what the human body could withstand. With a "poof," these people merged together from their distinct individual forms, their soft internal organs squeezing out from the gaps in the transparent wall.

At the same time, Xia Shou also noticed that the retainers' original intention to attack him had completely disappeared.

Xia Shou stopped trying to dissuade them, and then he saw that among the remaining retainers, some ran towards the outside of An Gang's mansion, while others launched a direct attack on the old patriarch, who resembled a ghost Buddha.

It seems there are indeed some fearless people among this group.

"Hehe (three times) — [Ghost God Demon King Black Cloud Mountain]!"
