"Do they really think that little knife is an infinity blade, capable of delivering a critical hit with a single slash? A bunch of dog heads..."
Xia Che stretched his neck, turned his back to them, and grinned.
But that's alright.
This will be a good opportunity for him to test his current strength.
...
Li Hu followed at the very back at a leisurely pace. There were too many people earlier, so it wouldn't have been appropriate to make a move directly. He looked up and noticed that the surrounding environment was becoming increasingly secluded, and he felt that something was not quite right.
"Where is he? Did you lose him?"
Li Hu grabbed one of his henchmen and asked.
"No, Tiger, Xia Che is an idiot. He's heading towards the abandoned construction site up ahead. There's no one there, which is perfect for us to make our move!"
The underling exclaimed excitedly, "If he had spotted us, he could have easily slipped into a crowded place or gone straight to the police station, and we wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. But this kid chose a deserted spot. What kind of idiot is he? He's dead meat today!"
"Is that so...that's good."
Li Hu let out a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction. He could finally avenge the grudge he had suffered back then.
He had considered the possibility that Xia Che had intentionally led them there, but Li Hu simply didn't believe that he alone could defeat more than a dozen of them.
"A piece of trash who can only get by because he has a knife, now that he doesn't have a knife anymore, how can he still be so arrogant?"
Li Hu gritted his teeth. He had observed that Xia Che couldn't possibly have a knife on him. If he had a knife, he was a knife-wielding guy; if he didn't, he was a scoundrel.
"Brother Tiger, Xia Che has gone inside!"
The lookout rushed over, looking anxious: "Should we make our move now?"
"Let's do it!"
Li Hu grinned maliciously, "Tell the brothers to be careful, and don't forget Brother Yang's orders: take one of his legs!"
No matter who comes today, Li Hu is determined to cripple this so-called "Brother Dao". When that happens, who in the old city will dare to be his equal?
"And...you go first, I'll cover the rear."
Li Hu's eyes flickered, and he coughed lightly: "To prevent... to prevent Xia Che from setting up an ambush and attacking you again, that would be bad."
Who knows if that kid might have a knife hidden on the construction site...
Li Hu wanted to vent his anger, but he was also worried that the incident of one against eight people would be repeated.
He went to see the thugs who had been hacked to pieces; they all looked quite pitiful.
It looks like it hurts a lot...
Li Hu's face twitched.
"yes!"
The underlings were moved, feeling that their boss was truly kind and righteous. They couldn't contain themselves and were eager to show off in front of their boss. After confirming that Xia Che was at the abandoned construction site, they rushed towards the site at Li Hu's command.
A dozen or so people rushing over in a grand procession is quite visually striking.
After the underlings rushed in, they saw Xia Che's back with his hands in his pockets. He stood in the middle of the empty construction site, not turning around, and slowly uttered, "You're all here?"
These words immediately caused the thugs' expressions to turn suspicious. What did this mean? Did this kid already know they were following them?
If you know this, why don't you run? Is there an ambush here?
No matter how they looked, the surroundings were empty, making it impossible for anyone to hide. The thugs were completely confused. Since there was no ambush and Xia Che was all alone, what was this kid up to?
He can't possibly think that he can fight off a dozen or so people all by himself, empty-handed, can he?
Xia Che doesn't look like he's carrying a knife!
"Don't worry, I didn't bring a knife."
Xia Che seemed to be able to guess what they were thinking and smiled faintly.
"Didn't bring a knife?"
Li Hu, who was standing at the entrance of the construction site with one foot outside, ready to run away if things went wrong, was immediately delighted upon hearing this and retracted his foot.
"What are you pretending to be if you didn't bring a knife?"
Li Hu touched his nose, strode to the front of his group of henchmen, and pointed at Xia Che's nose with boundless bravado, cursing, "Xia Che! You've been too arrogant lately, I can't stand it!"
"Today, you will have to pay a price!"
Li Hu's words were firm and resounding, displaying the demeanor of an older brother standing up for his younger brother. He exuded an air of dominance that made the purple-haired delinquent girl's eyes sparkle.
Her face was full of pride.
This is her man!
He's willing to cover his brother's retreat and stand up for him; that's a true hero!
"Okay, come on."
Xia Che nodded knowingly, his expression unchanged, and leaned down slightly, reaching out his hand to beckon.
"Charge them!"
Li Hu, with a cold face, suddenly swung his hand downwards!
...
In the deserted construction site, cries of agony and the sounds of fists pounding against flesh could be heard incessantly.
This construction site has been abandoned for a long time and is located in the old city area, so it's usually deserted, but it's bustling today.
"I thought they were really capable, but this is all they are?"
"Sigh, I wasn't even done yet, and you guys are already lying down."
"With this level of skill, you're still calling yourself... the tyrant of the old town? From now on, you should rename yourself 'the one who dominates the old town'."
Xia Che stood tall, like a drawn blade, his expression one of regret.
As it turned out, after his soul transmigrated, he inherited everything, including his memories, experiences, and physical body.
Following his master's instructions from memory, Xia Che barely made a move before all ten or so thugs in front of him were lying on the ground, not one of them able to stand up.
It wasn't that Xia Che was showing off, but rather that he simply hadn't had enough.
Li Hu was lying face down on the ground, his buttocks sticking up high, completely unconscious. The purple-haired punk girl had narrowly escaped death, but she was so frightened that she shrank to the side, not daring to move an inch.
On the empty construction site, the thugs lay sprawled out, most of them unconscious. A few, still conscious, were groaning uncontrollably in pain...
That's terrible.
The thugs were so frightened by Xia Che's words that they didn't dare to breathe, and none of them dared to look him in the eye.
Seeing this, Xia Che lost interest. Since the purpose of the experiment had been achieved, staying here would be a waste of time, so he turned around and walked out of the abandoned construction site.
With his hands in his pockets and a relaxed expression, he didn't seem like he had just been in a fight at all; it was more like he had just gone downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes—a perfectly ordinary little thing.
"No one should dare to cause me trouble again, right?"
"Honestly, we've been delayed for so long, and there's not much time left before the female lead encounters her problem."
"We need to hurry..."
Xia Che tightened his collar and hurried toward the supermarket.
At this moment, in the abandoned construction site, Li Hu slowly woke up to the cries of the purple-haired delinquent. After looking around and confirming that what had just happened was reality and not a dream, his heart sank to the bottom.
"Xia Che... is he really that amazing?"
Li Hu took the tissue handed to him by the purple-haired punk girl and wiped the blood from his face, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
He's not stupid.
The difference between her and Xia Che is obvious even to a blind person.
