Chapter 223
Xu Tian stared straight at Xiao Can, but he could only see a blurry outline in his line of sight.
His head hurt terribly, as if it were about to explode; he had to do something to alleviate this pain.
Just as the pain he couldn't endure was about to reach its peak, a string in his brain seemed to snap.
The sound of whistling wind reached his ears, and the smell of blood filled the air.
"Xu Tian!"
"Xu Tian!"
Who was calling him?
Even though it was a familiar voice, he couldn't recall who the owner of this voice was at all.
Suddenly, the young man, who had only been quiet for a moment, opened his eyes wide; there was no longer the fire burning brighter and brighter in them, as if they were a pool of calm, stagnant water.
But it was precisely this calmness that made the people around him even more horrified.
Clearly, there was no killing intent on him, and he had put away his full-blown rage, but standing there, he inexplicably made people think of one word: "Hell Asura."
Xiao Can gasped; as a bodyguard, his keen perception had already alerted him to the danger, but the change happened too fast for him to react.
Chen Xiaoxiao, who also sensed that something was wrong, saw her pupils shrink suddenly and shouted at Xiao Can: "Xiao Can, get out of the way!"
It was a pity that her warning came too late.
Just as Xiao Can was about to retreat, Xu Tian flashed in front of him with lightning speed.
This time, the aura on him was not the ruthless yet non-lethal intensity he had when fighting the bodyguards earlier, but rather, every move he made was filled with unstoppable killing intent.
At this moment, he seemed like an emotionless killing machine, only executing the commands issued by his brain.
The overwhelming killing intent made all the nerves in Xiao Can's body tense up; he immediately took a defensive stance, but it was useless. He didn't even last one round in Xu Tian's hands before being punched in the chest, his body tracing an arc in mid-air like a withered leaf before slamming straight into the ground.
"Pfft..." A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from Xiao Can's mouth; he lay on the ground, dying and unable to move.
Just one punch, and it almost killed him; just how much power was this?
However, Xu Tian did not stop his attack speed because he was seriously injured; as Xiao Can fell to the ground, he leaned forward and kicked toward his heart.
If Chen Xiaoxiao hadn't blocked a move for him, Xiao Can would probably be dead at Xu Tian's hands right now.
However, Chen Xiaoxiao only managed to take one move before being kicked away by the opponent in the next second, blood spraying from her mouth and nose, looking utterly disheveled.
"Sister Xiaoxiao!"
Xiao Can struggled to prop himself up and looked toward the direction where Chen Xiaoxiao had fallen.
Chen Xiaoxiao was the Tang family's bodyguard commander and also the one with the highest strength among all the secret guards; if even she couldn't last three rounds in Xu Tian's hands, wouldn't Xu Tian's strength be terrifying to an outrageous degree?
"Damn it!"
Chen Xiaoxiao spat out a large mouthful of blood and cursed in a low voice.
What kind of medicine had this pretty boy taken to become so powerful?
In her eyes, Xu Tian had always been a loser, so she couldn't adapt to this sudden change at all.
Moreover, being beaten into serious injury with no power to fight back by a man she had always looked down upon was a great humiliation for the proud Chen Xiaoxiao.
She wanted to fight back, wanted to beat Xu Tian to a pulp, but now she couldn't even protect herself.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, be careful!"
Seeing Xu Tian attacking again, Xiao Can roared at her, his eyes splitting with rage.
Chen Xiaoxiao endured the pain, did a carp-leap to get up from the ground, met him again, and was kicked to the ground once more.
Xu Tian walked a few steps to Chen Xiaoxiao, and as she struggled to get up, he threw punches rapidly, raining blows upon Chen Xiaoxiao's body.
"Sister Xiaoxiao!" Seeing this, Xiao Can ignored the pain in his body, gritted his teeth, stood up, and lunged forward to hug Xu Tian's waist.
However, he was soon thrown off by Xu Tian.
The customers in the bar had all escaped outside; Chen Xiaoxiao and Xiao Can were both beaten to the point of dying by Xu Tian.
In just a few minutes, they didn't even have the strength to dodge.
If Xu Tian continued to attack at this time, both of them would undoubtedly die.
Just at this critical moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the bar.
When A Wei and Bai Lu rushed in with the Tang family's bodyguards, they saw Chen Xiaoxiao and Xiao Can lying on the ground covered in blood.
"Xiaoxiao!" A Wei's expression tightened, and he quickly exchanged a look with Bai Lu.
They both knew Chen Xiaoxiao's strength well; there were not many people in the entire Jiangcheng who could hurt her like this, let alone with Xiao Can there too.
Who on earth had beaten them both like this?
Just as they walked closer, intending to help the fallen Chen Xiaoxiao and Xiao Can up, a figure arrived quietly and raised a hand, throwing a punch straight at Bai Lu's face.
Bai Lu was startled and subconsciously raised his hand to meet it; as the two fists collided, his arm went numb from the shock, and he took several steps back before barely stabilizing his figure.
However, when he saw clearly who had attacked him, Bai Lu opened his mouth in astonishment and cried out involuntarily: "Mr. Xu!"
At this moment, A Wei also saw Xu Tian.
"Mr. Xu, what happened to you..."
Xu Tian couldn't hear A Wei's words at all, nor could he recognize him.
The raging fire in his heart had burned away his reason; he could only hear the shrill roars coming from afar in his ears.
"Mr. Xu!" Bai Lu discovered that the way Xu Tian looked at them was as if he were looking at strangers, and it was filled with chilling coldness; even their calls received no reaction.
He subconsciously looked at Xiao Can: "What on earth is going on? How did Mr. Xu become like this?"
"I don't know either..."
Xiao Can endured the pain and replied: "At the beginning, Mr. Xu was only acting in self-defense, then he was pushed too far and started attacking Qian Rushan and the others; after that, he became like a different person, and he couldn't even recognize Sister Xiaoxiao and me anymore..."
If A Wei and Bai Lu hadn't arrived in time, Xiao Can and Chen Xiaoxiao would probably have already died at Xu Tian's hands.
And just while the three were communicating, all those Tang family bodyguards had been beaten to a pulp by Xu Tian, and it looked like they wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
"Be careful!" The bodyguard who had been kicked away by Xu Tian reminded A Wei and the others.
In a flash, A Wei and Bai Lu both looked up at the same time and discovered that Xu Tian had arrived in front of them before they knew it.
"Mr. Xu..."
A Wei swallowed hard, his expression becoming increasingly grave.
Now that Xu Tian had become like this, he really didn't know how to explain it to the Young Lady.
Perhaps because A Wei posed too little a threat to him, Xu Tian bypassed him directly and swung his fist at Bai Lu.
Chen Xiaoxiao and the others had no power to fight back, so Xu Tian focused all his energy on Bai Lu.
However, Bai Lu's strength was not as good as Chen Xiaoxiao's; since even Chen Xiaoxiao had been beaten into serious injury, he found it even harder to parry.
After two simple rounds, Bai Lu was kicked away by Xu Tian.
Just as he fell to the ground, Xu Tian's fist arrived, striking his chest directly.
"Mr. Xu!"
A Wei blocked in front of Bai Lu and shouted hoarsely: "Wake up, it's me, A Wei! They are all our own people!"
Xu Tian's movements paused slightly, and the fist did not come down.
A Wei's expression relaxed: "Calm down..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he was grabbed by the collar and thrown away by Xu Tian.
A Wei's body slammed into the coffee table behind him, his head spinning with pain.
And Xu Tian swung his fist again, intending to strike the defenseless Bai Lu.
In the face of danger, the unable-to-dodge Bai Lu subconsciously closed his eyes tightly.
However, the expected pain did not come.
He opened his eyes quietly and discovered a slender figure blocking in front of him.
Her hand was firmly gripping Xu Tian's wrist, stopping Xu Tian's action.
Tang Bingyan was wearing only a white shirt, and she still carried the chill from outside.
She saw the bruises at the corners of Xu Tian's mouth and the wounds on his body, her eyes darkening as if a storm were brewing.
"Young Lady!"
A Wei and the others all showed expressions of terror, fearing she would be hurt by Xu Tian: "Mr. Xu doesn't recognize us anymore, and he's attacking indiscriminately; you should..."
He wanted to warn Tang Bingyan not to get close to Xu Tian.
But he saw that Xu Tian, who had been possessed by a god of slaughter, had the fire in his eyes extinguish without warning after seeing Tang Bingyan, and then he revealed a somewhat silly smile at her.
"Wife, did you come to pick me up to go home?"
Tang Bingyan, who had been cold all over, saw her expression soften for a moment upon hearing this, and soon she was hugged around the waist by Xu Tian.
"Why are you wearing so little? Are you cold..."
