I knew the cloaked man intended to kill us. After a brief hesitation, I charged straight at the bodyguards who were chasing after us.

I know the bodyguards here are tough, but one-on-one is much better than waiting for another person to come down.

Seeing the bodyguard's fist coming at me, I dodged to the side and slammed my knee into the outside of his thigh.

The bodyguard was slightly tilted by my blow, and then I seized the opportunity and rained down punches on him.

"Bang bang bang!"

With each muffled thud, the bodyguard was forced to retreat, but he managed to defend against every attack I made.

The two men retreated about a meter. The bodyguard took a step back, braced his foot against the wall, and shoved me away. "Your speed is good, but your strength is too weak. If you want to fight me, you'll need to train for a few more years. Unfortunately... you probably won't live to see that day!"

Go to hell!

I cursed and charged forward again, throwing a series of punches.

The bodyguard resumed his fight with me, not forgetting to taunt me: "Kid, if you surrender, I promise I won't torture you today, I'll let you die a quick death, how about it?"

"Many people want my life, but it's not your turn yet!"

I yelled and dodged his punch, then suddenly struck him in the armpit.

The armpit is a major acupoint in the human body, and it is densely covered with nerve plexuses. If attacked here, the severe pain will seriously hinder his next move.

The bodyguard saw through my moves and immediately bent his arm, striking me with his elbow.

My attack was just a feint. Seeing his movement, I immediately flicked my wrist and swung the hidden dagger at him.

The bodyguard reacted quickly, dodging my attack at top speed, but I still managed to cut a small wound on his wrist.

At that moment, another person jumped down from the roof and pounced on me from behind.

"Don't move!"

The bodyguard waved his hand to stop his companion, glanced at the wound on his wrist, then at the knife in my hand, and said contemptuously, "This kid doesn't know his own limitations. I'll play with him myself."

After saying that, he let out a loud shout and charged at me again.

I instinctively raised my knife, trying to create distance between us, but to my surprise, he didn't even dodge. He pressed down on my arm holding the knife with one hand, and with his other hand clenched into a fist, he violently attacked my face.

I knew this guy was well-trained, so I didn't fight him head-on. Instead, I used my toes as a pivot and swung my body around.

This caused the opponent's punches to lose their aim, and I took the opportunity to grab the knife with both hands and leave another cut on his chest.

"So cunning at such a young age, how could we let you live!"

During the fight, the bodyguard didn't respect me at all. Although I wasn't seriously injured, my behavior seemed to have deeply insulted him. His fists rained down on me amidst his shouts.

By this time, the bodyguard was truly enraged, and his attack was relentless. Even if I used all my strength, I could only barely parry.

After a dozen or so punches, he had me cornered against the wall.

Compared to before, the bodyguard's punches were getting weaker and weaker. I seized the opportunity to dodge his punch and stabbed him in the thigh with my knife.

Provoked by the pain, he slapped my shoulder, using the recoil to create distance between us, and glared at me furiously: "Kid! You fucking cheated!"

"I never said my knife wasn't poisoned!"

I let out a low growl and lunged at him again.

By this time, we had been fighting for about half a minute. His blood circulation had accelerated due to the intense exercise, and his body was already numb. Faced with my attack, his dodging movements had obviously slowed down.

Upon seeing this, another bodyguard who had been watching the commotion reacted and lunged at me.

I was faster than him. Before he could reach me, I grabbed the poisoned bodyguard and held him hostage, pressing a knife against his neck: "Don't move, or I'll kill him!"

"Boy, don't do anything reckless, let go of my senior brother!"

Upon seeing my actions, the other party panicked: "This is Fengmen Village! Do you know what price people who harm us here will pay?"

Do you think I would still care about these things?

I sneered: "You only want to arrest me, but you're not allowed to fight back? What kind of bullshit rule is that? I have nowhere to retreat, and I don't want to hurt anyone, but please don't push me!"

The other person clenched their fist: "What do you want?"

Seeing that the man had given in, I said, "It's simple! You chased me into this alley, but no one saw you. Let me go, and when you go back, just say I got away, and we'll all go our separate ways!"

"Junior brother, don't listen to his nonsense!"

The bodyguard I was holding hostage gasped for breath and said, "We were sent to Fengmen Village by our sect. If we stay here and cling to life, it won't just be us who lose face!"

I applied slight pressure with my hand, leaving a bloody gash on the bodyguard's neck, and asked his junior brother, "Let's think about it from another perspective. If you were the one being held hostage right now, do you think your senior brother would choose to let you die?"

"Enough!"

The other person interrupted me with a low shout, stepping aside to make way: "You can leave now!"

"I have to go, but your senior brother has to see me to the alley entrance!"

As I spoke, I grabbed the bodyguard in my arms and walked forward.

The green light had already turned on outside, and I had to find a place to hide and think of a solution before the red light came on. If I wandered around outside, they would catch me very soon.

I single-handedly subdued the two bodyguards and quickly reached the alley entrance.

Just when I thought I could escape, the cloaked man caught up and blocked the alley entrance.

When I saw the gun in the other person's hand, I quickly lowered my body and hid behind the bodyguard, saying, "If you don't want anything to happen to your people, get out of the way."

"Who do you think you are, daring to stand up and bargain with me?"

The cloaked man sneered and pointed his gun at me: "Kid, come out here yourself, and I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, I'll kill you all!"

"Boss, you can't shoot!"

Seeing the cloaked man's actions, the other man stepped between us: "Back when you were in trouble, it was my master who saved you and sent us, your fellow disciples, to protect you. You promised to take responsibility for our safety. If you kill my senior brother, our entire sect will not let you go!"

“I’ve always considered you all as family, but I never expected you to act like an outsider, resorting to threatening me. If the information this kid has leaks out, we’ll all be in trouble, so he has to die. As for you…”

The cloaked man paused for a moment: "You and your fellow disciples died protecting me; I will remember this kindness!"

"Bang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cloaked man pulled the trigger, and the bodyguard blocking our way was shot in the head.
