Once your mindset is compromised, whatever it may be, becomes a major problem.
If it weren't for my master sealing my meridians and allowing my mental state to improve during this time, I probably would have made a terrible mistake that I would never forget in my life if I had gone mad just now.
Xia Che rubbed his temples and let out another long breath.
He was still shaken.
"My master helped me again..."
Xia Che murmured.
He looked down at Wang Peng, who was slumped on the ground, his limbs twisted irregularly, his tongue sticking out, like a dead dog, and felt a mix of emotions.
Did I really hit him that hard just now?
Only when you come to your senses can you see just how crazy you really were.
"Mindset is indeed a terrifying thing... Damn it, I almost made a huge mistake."
Xia Che touched his chest with lingering fear, then glanced at the thugs who were standing around in a daze, far away. They didn't dare to get close at all. Who would dare to approach a ruthless person like Lu Bu?
The ruthless fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless.
Clearly, Xia Che's behavior just now was enough to show that he was the one who didn't care about his life.
No one dares to act recklessly in front of someone who doesn't value their life, and these thugs are no exception.
"You know you were wrong?"
Xia Che stretched his shoulders and rubbed his arms, feeling pain all over his body. Although he had been beaten into submission by these thugs, they hadn't shown any mercy. Xia Che was now sore all over, and if he hadn't been forcing himself not to show weakness, he would have been lying down by now.
"Brother Dao... Brother Dao! Don't be so arrogant. We're all in this together. Your ruthless actions have already angered everyone! Just you wait, our boss is coming soon!"
The henchman, quick as a flash, dragged Wang Peng away like a dead dog. Once he was sure Xia Che couldn't reach him, he puffed out his chest and roared, his voice trembling with fear, "Is this how you fight? Which school fights are like this, all aimed at killing? What kind of life-threatening things are you playing with?!"
"Weren't you going there to kill me?"
Xia Che's expression turned strange as he stared intently at his younger brother.
"What's wrong? What did I say wrong? Who fights with the intention of killing someone? Who the hell wants to go to jail?"
The younger brother's words became more and more reasonable, but Xia Che's direct gaze still made him feel intimidated for some reason, and he didn't dare to get close at all, but he still didn't want to lose to the other person in words.
"Fighting isn't the only way to kill someone... Aren't your actions taking a girl's life?"
"Now you're starting to criticize me? Heh..."
“You don’t know you’re wrong, you just know you deserve to die.”
Xia Che stretched his neck, the stiff, aching muscles sending a sharp, teeth-grinding crack through him. Under the livid gaze of the man opposite him, he slowly uttered, "Unrepentant..."
He knew that simply teaching Wang Peng a lesson wouldn't be enough to make these thugs truly repent.
What he needs to do is far from enough.
"Fuck your mother!"
Suddenly, a roar came from not far away, and then four burly men rushed out of a nearby karaoke bar, each with an angry look on their face.
Even though it was late at night and the temperature had dropped, all four of them were bare-chested, with tiger or dragon tattoos on their chests that spread from their chests to their arms.
Unlike Wang Peng and his group, who were just student hooligans, these four were true gangsters.
Among the four, the largest and bald, shiny-headed man was none other than Zhang Bao, the elder brother whom Wang Peng had sworn brotherhood with!
"Brother Leopard! You're finally here?"
The younger brother's eyes lit up with joy, and the tension in his heart immediately eased.
Judging from Xia Che's murderous gaze, it was clear that this kid had no intention of letting them go. However, they were no match for Xia Che. After what had just happened, none of the people present dared to continue fighting Xia Che.
Thankfully, Brother Leopard arrived...
"You haven't even grown your hair yet, and you're already trying to act tough and violent? Kid, why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? Besides intimidating my brothers, who else can you intimidate with your act?"
Zhang Bao, known as Brother Leopard, grasped the situation in just a few seconds, his fierce eyes looking as if he could devour someone.
He and his brothers sang a few songs and drank some alcohol next door, and then beat his adopted brother to a pulp. If word got out, who would dare to acknowledge him as their elder brother?
Isn't this cutting off my source of income?
Upon seeing Wang Peng's miserable state, this thought instantly ignited his anger.
This is a slap in the face for him!
"Can't sit still anymore?"
Xia Che's heart skipped a beat. Was this a real gangster? But he didn't show any fear on his face, instead giving a cold smile: "You beat up the young punk and now the old man comes along. So your surname is Tang?"
With Ning Zheyuan around, Xia Che had met many thugs in the underworld through the Yan Yun Gang and had even taught them a lesson. But all of this was before his meridians were sealed. Now that his meridians were sealed, Xia Che was well aware of his own limitations. With his current physical condition as an ordinary person, he could only bully small-time thugs like Wang Peng. If he really fought against real underworld thugs, he would definitely be no match for them.
But even though he lost, he didn't back down. Even knowing he was no match for his opponent, Xia Che refused to back down.
He didn't even turn around and call Ning Zheyuan out to help.
"What are you saying in your gibberish..."
Zhang Bao scratched his head and glanced at his companions behind him. As his companions, they naturally understood Zhang Bao's thoughts and understood his meaning with just a glance. Seeing this, they also came over.
"He's just a high school student who likes to act tough... I don't understand what he's so arrogant about."
Zhang Bao originally wanted to show off by himself, but after seeing Wang Peng's miserable state, he knew that this kid was fearless in a fight. Even he felt a chill run down his spine, so he decided to call a few others to go with him to avoid a disaster.
Street thugs, after all, have never been known for their martial ethics.
"Let's all come at once... Sure."
Xia Che grinned and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Even though he was in pain all over his body, he might have fainted by now if he hadn't been holding on with his willpower.
Even so, facing several stronger individuals, Xia Che not only did not retreat, but instead stepped forward to meet them.
"You need to apologize..."
"If you do something wrong, you should apologize."
Xia Che murmured words that Zhang Bao couldn't understand, and took one step at a time, his steps faltering yet firm, as he went to meet him.
...
"call……"
Ning Zheyuan felt he couldn't sit still any longer.
He knew that the young master's orders were always paramount, regardless of whether they were reasonable or not. Even if it meant his death, Ning Zheyuan would not hesitate to obey the young master's orders.
His hands were clenched tightly without him noticing; the white backs of his hands, somewhat aged, showed prominent veins.
Ning Zheyuan kept telling himself to stay calm. The young master hadn't given any orders yet, so he couldn't act rashly.
