The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 773: Why Did You Stop

“Wise up, Little Sister. You are a member of the Sucking Blood Clan. He is a human. You two are friends? Are you kidding me?”

Seeing his sister being so overprotective over a human irritated Louis. He kept stomping on Ghost’s back and scolding her. Every kick was so fierce that Ghost spat up blood. She looked to be in great pain.

The members of the Silver Wing Mercenary Group gasped at what they were witnessing. Was the Sucking Blood Clan so cruel to even treat their siblings so brutally?

Some members of the Sucking Blood Clan tried to dissuade Louis from beating Ghost, but he was beyond reasoning and hit out at them.

“God damned jerk, we should run away immediately. Otherwise, her brother will kick that poor girl to death. I’ve recovered fully and I’m strong enough to fly you out of here. Her brother will in no way be able to catch up with us.” The Duck Emperor had flown to Xiao Luo’s shoulder discreetly. He shuddered at the sight of Ghost sprawled on the ground and clinging on to Louis’s right foot. He had never expected that this girl would risk her life to save Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo looked solemn and felt like two tiny worms were twisting in his nostrils, causing his tear glands to secrete tears uncontrollably. His eyes were tearing. He did not get it—why was Ghost doing that? Was it only because she had once said she would protect him? If that was the case, she was being very naïve—a fool who took a joke far too seriously. And what about him, then? He had been thinking about leaving her instead.

He despised himself when he considered the moral contrast between them. He even felt a pang of guilt.

“Enough!”

Xiao Luo yelled in anger, so loudly those present felt a ringing in their ears.

Everyone looked at him in shock. Even Louis stopped hurting Ghost. His blue eyes briefly expressed confusion and surprise, before he regained his composure and glared mockingly at Xiao Luo.

“Lil’ Luoluo…”

Exhausted, Ghost let go of Louis. Blood was still oozing out of her mouth and nose, and there were countless bruises and scratches all over her body. Her clothes, stained with blood and dirt, and she just looked awful.

“Great. That’s great. You help him and he helps you. Sis, it looks like you and he have become loyal friends. You’ve become a prey’s friend. Sis, you bring shame to the Sucking Blood Clan!” Louis looked at Ghost and then at Xiao Luo before he again laughed mockingly.

“Shame?”

Xiao Luo glared at Louis icily and said, “I’ll let you know soon what shame feels like.” The Duck Emperor had loosened the rope that bound him up using his beak, so Xiao Luo could move freely by then. “I’ll make you feel twice the pain you inflicted on Ghost!”

Louis was dumbstruck, but soon he burst out laughing. “Make me feel twice the pain? How? You are simply a Martial Master. Or do you want to depend on your pet duck?”

“You will know how soon enough…” Xiao Luo replied as he kept staring at Louis.

The corner of Louis’s mouth twitched anxiously as he could not stand being stared at by a human in such an arrogant way. “Jerk, I’ve decided. I will not only feed on your blood but cut your body into pieces so that I can chew them when I’m hungry.”

Louis snarled, and a burst of energy surged from his body with the force of a gale. Without warning, he bounded toward Xiao Luo as fast as greased lightning.

All the onlookers saw was a blur of shadows. He was a Martial Emperor, so they expected that his attack would too fast for the human eye.

However, when Louis landed, Xiao Luo was no longer there and had suddenly vanished. There was nothing but thin air where he had been. Louis looked around and found to his surprise that Xiao Luo was hovering in the air.

“What the hell?”

Louis cursed and smiled wryly. He found it hard to believe, and his eyes glowered with renewed rage. A human Martial Master had escaped from his clutches by leaping in the air from right under his nose. Louis had him in his sights and yet he got away. It was incredible.

It was to the Duck Emperor’s credit that Xiao Luo could hover in the air. The duck lifted him by grabbing his shoulders.

Xiao Luo threw Louis an icy glare. Then he cast his gaze on Ghost, who was still sprawled on the ground. “Ghost, I will come back to find you. We will go to the sacred place of the Light Clan together. I promise I will take you to see your father!”

Ghost couldn’t believe her ear and tears formed in her eyes. Then a smile broke on her pretty face.

“Bast*rd!”

Xiao Luo’s words had riled Louis up. A sinister shadow formed behind him, and suddenly, a tremendous wave of energy emanated from his body like the angry waves of a turbulent sea. Gravel and dirt, branches, and all forms of debris lying on the ground suddenly rose in suspension. Everyone on the ground felt an ominous presence.

“Go to hell!”

Louis bellowed as he thrust his palm at Xiao Luo.

The horrifying force of his palm strike spread quickly like an invisible force, and the pressure surged in all directions. Members of the Silver Wing Mercenary Group and even of the Sucking Blood Clan were knocked to the ground. The palm force suddenly transformed into a black vampire bat, hissing and flying swiftly toward Xiao Luo.

Louis’ power was far more than Xiao Luo could bear. But Duck Emperor, as he had often claimed in the Dimension of Chaos, was adept at evasion and escape because of his speed. Carrying Xiao Luo, he dodged to the side and avoided the immense palm force delivered by Louis.

The black vampire bat streaked into clouds and exploded in the night sky like a bomb.

BOOM!

The force of the blast caused a wave of energy to sweep across the ground like a hurricane, shaking leaves off trees and carrying them through the air.

“Harghh!”

The moment his palm attack missed Xiao Luo, Louis bounded into the air and delivered a series of blows.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

His fierce attack resembled the swift currents of a raging river. Each blow was delivered with horrifying force, and even the mountains and forest around them were destroyed. A blow struck the ground, and it formed a crater with a diameter of about thirty feet. Dust rose in clouds and toppled trees around the crater. The residual force from his blows caused howling winds that fluttered the people’s hair and clothes.

Was that how destructive a Martial Emperor could be?

The members of the Silver Wing Mercenary Group were daunted and turned as pale as ghosts. That vampire was too powerful and there was no way they could escape from him. They quickly realized their blood would soon feed their captors.

Louis did not stop until he delivered dozens of more palm strikes and became exhausted.

Much of the surrounding forest was destroyed, and a series of craters marked the ground. The air crackled with the residual energy of his palm strikes.

Hovering in the air, Xiao Luo escaped injury.

“Piece of sh*t, why did you stop? Let’s see which is faster, your palm strike or your Grandpa Duck Emperor!” said the duck, provoking Louis.

Louis was in a stupor. Just like others, he thought the Duck Emperor was a beast demon at first, but when he detected the duck’s low energy level, he was convinced it could not have been a beast demon, but just an ordinary duck.

“Good job, duckling. Haha, haha…”

Although badly injured, Ghost still managed to look up and give Duck Emperor a thumbs up. Her gay laughter echoed through the forest.

“You damned duck!”

Louis clenched his teeth in fury. It frustrated him he could not use his powers to strike the fast-moving duck. Speed was the best form of defense, and he had no answer to it.
