I was very nervous when faced with the attack from the iron fist.
This isn't the first time we've clashed. Back in Shenyang, this guy forced me to jump off a bridge, and I almost lost my life.
Although I had undergone three months of intensive training, kung fu is not something that can be learned quickly. Facing an opponent like Iron Fist, although I had the ability to defend myself, after dozens of exchanges, I found that I had little chance of defeating him.
"Bang!"
In the midst of the melee, Iron Fist seized an opening and punched me in the chest, knocking me back three or four steps.
As I retreated, Iron Fist charged forward again, a small knife that had appeared in his hand at some point, and slashed straight at my throat.
"Big brother, watch out!"
Seeing Iron Fist's movement, Manjing suddenly rushed up behind me and threw a punch at Iron Fist.
Faced with Manjing's sudden attack, Tiequan retreated slightly and swept his foot towards him.
"Bang!"
Manjing bent his arm to block the leg that was coming at him with an iron fist, and then threw another punch.
The iron fist that had just been overwhelming me was actually forced back several steps after colliding with Manjing.
When masters clash, life and death can be decided in an instant.
Iron Fist's companions were all trained fighters, and seeing Manjing's imposing manner, they immediately sensed something was amiss: "This guy is tough to deal with, let's all attack together!"
When Jiang Man saw the other side make a move, she rushed forward as well.
In this way, Manjing was left to fight Iron Fist alone, Jiang Man, Monkey, and Lin Que were tied up with one of the opponents, and I charged towards the remaining one.
The person I was facing was much more agile than Iron Fist. Several of my attacks missed, but his strength was also much weaker than Iron Fist's, giving me a chance to catch my breath.
While I was locked in a fierce battle with my opponent, the outcome on Manjing's side was decided quite quickly.
When Ox-Head and Horse-Face taught me, they said that the beautiful snake originally wanted Black and White Impermanence to be my master, but they thought my physique was too weak and my talent was too poor, so they were unwilling to accept me. Instead, they took a liking to the exceptionally talented Manjing.
I used to scoff at this.
But what happened today forces me to admit that gifted individuals do indeed exist.
I fought Iron Fist for dozens of rounds before and we were evenly matched, but after Manjing rushed up, he was able to use brute force to make Iron Fist retreat repeatedly.
With the addition of Manjing, the team's troublemaker, Iron Fist's arrogance and conceit quickly disappeared. He roared at his teammates, "These guys can't be dealt with in a short time. Signal the others to come over!"
The young man who was fighting me was distracted by Iron Fist's roar and I punched him in the throat. He clutched his neck in pain, and then I grabbed his shoulder and delivered a knee strike to his face, knocking him unconscious.
When the other man saw me running toward him, he could only retreat repeatedly to avoid being surrounded by the four of them.
"call out--"
Just as I was preparing to help Jiang Man and the others deal with their opponents and then cooperate with Manjing in interrogating Tie Quan, a sharp whistle suddenly came from behind me, and a flare also swayed and flew into the sky.
In the light, I discovered that the person I had hit with my throwing knife had somehow acquired a signal flare and launched it into the sky.
We're already struggling to deal with Iron Fist, so if another group of experts comes, even if Manjing is incredibly skilled, we'll be worn down sooner or later.
Realizing this, I took two throwing knives from the scabbard at my waist and swung them fiercely like an iron fist.
"Ding-dong!"
Iron Fist, who was locked in combat with Manjing, swung his arm and deflected the throwing knife with his short sword, then retreated into the bushes beside him.
Seeing that Manjing was about to give chase, I immediately shouted, "Stop chasing! Retreat!"
While Iron Fist and the others dodged, we grabbed our travel bags, waded across the river, and disappeared into the woods on the other side.
We had just started running when several signal flares appeared in the sky behind us, illuminating an area of several kilometers around us in an instant.
The monkey, carrying a large travel bag, cursed as his chest heaved, "Damn it, these guys are really persistent! We were clearly living in a forest whose exact location we didn't even know, how did these people find us?"
"Now that things are so urgent, you still have the nerve to care about how the fire started?"
With my backpack on, I darted left and right through the woods, leading them around for a while. Pointing to a large tree ahead, I shouted, "Everyone, spread out and hide in those trees! Remember to spread out so that if those people chase after us, we can support each other!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people started climbing the tree.
I used my mouth to hold the strap of my travel bag and struggled to climb the tree. I then sat on a branch and retrieved the pistol.
I didn't fire the gun before because I was worried about being exposed. Now that the flares have gone up, I can't care about so many rules anymore if I want to protect myself.
Before long, a series of rapid footsteps came from the distant woods, accompanied by the flickering of flashlight beams.
The person at the front shone a flashlight on the ground and suddenly shouted, "I see trampled marks on the bushes here. Those people must have run this way."
Upon hearing this, Iron Fist went over to take a look, then waved his hand and said, "Everyone, split up and chase them. There's a kid on the other side who can throw knives, and he's pretty accurate at it. Be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd dispersed and began searching in different directions.
I heard the bushes rustling beneath my feet, and I held my breath nervously, ready to fire at any moment.
Fortunately, those people did not climb the tree to check, and soon left our area, leaving only Iron Fist and the others to cover the retreat.
When a man walked up to my tree, he unbuckled his waist support and peed, then pulled out a cigarette case from his pocket: "Want one?"
"I've quit!"
Iron Fist waved his hand: "Martial arts practitioners should smoke less; it's bad for their health."
"Haha, that's what I hate most about you! Now that Shaolin has expelled you, what are you pretending to be from a prestigious sect for! We're just lowly peasants, assassins who do the dirty work!"
After saying this jokingly, the other person noticed Iron Fist's expression and quickly changed the subject: "Do you think we can find that brat today?"
“When I went to Shenyang before, he couldn’t even last three rounds against me. I never expected that in less than half a year, he could withstand so many moves from me. It’s unbelievable.”
Iron Fist's voice was deep: "If you manage to catch that brat today, remember to leave him with me. I want to personally send him on his way!"
The other man exhaled a puff of smoke: "Dude, think this through. He has a close relationship with the boss. If you kill him, what if you get retaliated against later?"
Iron Fist sneered: "The order to kill this brat was given by Duan Jinyan himself. He doesn't even care about this bastard, so what do I have to be afraid of?"
