Chapter 200: He struck out fiercely!
Have you seen a leopard when it's hunting? Liu Xiaotian's speed now is not even a bit slower than a leopard that suddenly lunges at prey it has been aiming at for a while.
Both legs exerted force simultaneously, his body like a shell that has been fired down the barrel, the primer struck by the firing pin, the propellant already ignited—like a mortar shell—he slammed straight into the face of the man walking over with a confident expression, preparing to give a lesson to that Oriental soldier who didn't know good from bad, already under control yet still lacking self‑awareness—the owl's face.
"Bang!"
This blow sounded exceptionally crisp and pleasant.
This blow, Liu Xiaotian exerted all the strength he had in his body at that moment.
Moreover, it wasn't just a simple collision.
His hands, bound together by the cuffs and held above his head, couldn't make large movements or spread too far apart, but gripping the owl's left and right cheeks posed no problem.
"Hold his hand!"
At a glance, there is nothing, one wrong version!
Although the remote controller is not in the owl's hands now, who can guarantee that this old, crafty fellow hasn't left a backup?
Liu Xiaotian handed over the remote detonator he had taken from the owl's pocket, and replied in a low voice:
Chen Shanming nodded, immediately reported the situation to his superiors via the communication equipment, then had Gong Jian personally escort Xu Tianlong and the owl onto the deck, while he himself stayed beside the CVX2 with the remaining Red Blood Cell Group members.
Soon, a professional action team on standby in the helicopter brought equipment to this cabin and lifted out the CVX2 whose detonator Liu Xiaotian had destroyed.
At this moment, Tang Xinyi seemed to have completely forgotten her feud with Liu Xiaotian, and immediately rose to open the door as he commanded.
"Plop!"
"What about the explosives on the ship?"
With such serious injuries, not to mention the owl's own combat ability being low, even if Zha'erbi, who was half‑conscious and holding his throat after being controlled by Chen Shanming and others, were in peak condition and took this blow squarely, he would certainly lose consciousness instantly.
After kicking the owl out with one "KO", Liu Xiaotian didn't pause, bent down to pick up the iron wrench from the ground, turned and lunged toward the CVX2 poison gas bomb's location, and smashed it down hard at the spot indicated by "Jiaweis".
"Bang!"
The owl hadn't detonated yet, but instead Liu Xiaotian's strike caused it to explode……Isn't that a joke?
Hearing that, Chen Shanming finally breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, lifted the unconscious owl, and gestured for Xu Tianlong to tie him up.
This time, Tang Xinyi's reaction wasn't slow either; she immediately rushed over and seized the owl's gun‑holding hand.
"Huff… Hurry up and open the door! Let Instructor Chen and them in!" Liu Xiaotian rose and walked back toward the unconscious owl, at the same time issuing a low‑voiced command to Tang Xinyi.
However, before he even landed, he had already fallen into unconsciousness.
The owl's body hit the ground hard, and it landed face down.
The moment Chen Shanming rushed into the cabin, his gaze quickly locked onto the CVX2 poison gas bomb whose detonator Liu Xiaotian had destroyed.
What if there were other ways to detonate it? After "Jiaweis" confirmed that the CVX2 poison gas bomb would absolutely not explode before professionals re‑installed the detonator, Liu Xiaotian finally let out a sigh of relief.
Liu Xiaotian hesitated not at all; as he threw the owl's body over his head he released his grip on the cheeks and immediately followed up with a standard spring kick.
At that instant, Tang Xinyi, who had just taken the gun from the owl's hand, felt her heart almost jump out of her throat.
While speaking, the owl's body had already been lifted into the air by Liu Xiaotian's landing feet, exactly the state of both feet off the ground and head down.
Damn it… this is really too dangerous!
Liu Xiaotian's kick was already strong enough to snap a sapling as thick as a calf, and besides, he was wearing a pair of leather military boots with an iron plate at the toe.
With that kick, the owl's nasal cartilage instantly shattered into several pieces, and even the left zygomatic bone, unfortunately the point of impact, cracked open a fissure.
And the target was precisely the owl's face, which looked exactly like an owl's!
Writing it out makes the process feel long enough for the owl to shoot and kill two people several times over, but in fact, from Liu Xiaotian's sudden attack to now, less than a second has passed.
This is the sound of the owl's body hitting the ground.
What if it exploded on impact?
Liu Xiaotian did this certainly not out of impulse.
The move is simple: bend the thigh, use the thigh to drive the shin, while tensing the instep, then lash out hard like a broken spring.
But this crisp sound was not the owl's body hitting the ground.
Upon impact, using the momentum he swept over the owl's head and followed with an aerial flip; while his feet were still off the ground, his arms and waist exploded with force, literally yanking the owl's body up like pulling a radish, and at the same time he bellowed to Tang Xinyi standing nearby:
Moreover, the instant Liu Xiaotian gripped his cheeks and flung him halfway into the air, even aside from anything else, that pain alone was enough to disrupt his brain from issuing proper counter‑commands to his body.
In other words, if he hadn't slipped the remote into his pocket, Liu Xiaotian couldn't have done this.
"Instructor Chen, rest assured, I have destroyed its detonator; without it being reinstalled, it will not explode."
"I only found the remote; I still can't confirm whether those explosives have been set on a timer, so we had better return to the deck first."
Caught off guard, the owl needed time to react.
What the owl regrets most now is that he was overly confident, even pretentious, and as he walked toward Liu Xiaotian he had already tucked the remote used to detonate the ship's explosives and the CVX2 poison gas bomb into his pocket.
Just as Liu Xiaotian opened the cuffs, preparing to accompany the arriving support personnel to bring up to the deck the four of the owl's subordinates whom he had first subdued while they were asleep and bound, the voice of "Jiaweis" suddenly sounded again:
"Sri, I advise you to return to the deck immediately, otherwise you might not get a chance to "have a taste.""
"The bomb strapped to that woman will explode in nine minutes; moreover, with the assistance of the first‑class bomb‑disposal package you just exchanged, you will need at least eight minutes thirty seconds to defuse it…"
""Jiaweis" hadn't finished speaking when Liu Xiaotian had already run ten or so meters away."
By the time Chen Shanming noticed Liu Xiaotian, he had already left this deck…
