Chapter 331: Chapter 331: A Mob
“Let’s go together!” Hou Qingguo quickly rushed forward. Behind him, dozens of people also swiftly encircled the target.
Hou Qingguo was not tall and rather thin, but his fists and kicks kung fu were exceptional. He also had great agility. This time, his goal was not to defeat Xiao Han, but to try and hold him off while his brothers ambushed from behind. In this way, he could subdue his opponent.
Thinking of this, Hou Qingguo immediately started to laugh smugly.
This tactic was known as “feint to the east, attack in the west.”
Hou Qingguo soon engaged with Xiao Han, and the two battled fiercely. Hou Qingguo felt a powerful force bursting from Xiao Han. Regarded as one of Liu Sandao’s most capable Brave Generals and one of the several War Generals, Hou Qingguo was nonetheless feeling an immense pressure when facing Xiao Han, a pressure that almost left him breathless.
“Damn!” Hou Qingguo took a punch from Xiao Han. That punch, nearly knocking him out, hit him squarely in the chest.
“Take another kick!” Xiao Han shouted.
At this moment, several sharp-witted lackeys rushed up from behind Xiao Han while he was engaged with Hou Qingguo. With steel knives in hand, sharp and ready, they seized the moment. Raising their steel knives, they fiercely hacked down towards Xiao Han.
The gleaming steel knives streaked a flash of light.
Xiao Han’s ears trembled. He pushed off Hou Qingguo with his left foot, quickly twisting his body in midair.
Whoosh…
The blades barely missed Xiao Han’s back as they swept past.
Thud, thud!
With two muffled sounds, Xiao Han’s foot kicked ferociously into their chests. With that kick, two men were sent flying on the spot. Another man fell into a nearby greening strip and lay there, unable to recover his senses for quite some time.
“Holy shit!” A man cried out in shock: “He’s amazingly tough.”
“He’s too strong.” Even the onlooking crowd was struck by Xiao Han’s fierceness. Their faces filled with astonishment as they watched him, as if they were witnessing Bruce Lee alive once more. His miraculous legwork and stunning moves made everyone feel the magic and greatness of Chinese Kung Fu.
“Awesome!” The crowd exclaimed in amazement.
Hou Qingguo took a kick. Although it wasn’t fatal, the impact nearly shattered him to pieces. Rubbing his chest, he said, “Damn, this kid is really tough. He’s a tough nut to crack. Brothers, let’s all go together. Don’t hesitate.”
Rustle, rustle…
The crowd launched another attack. This was the classic tactic of overwhelming numbers, a war of attrition. Hou Qingguo knew Xiao Han was formidable, but he believed that no matter how strong an individual was, their energy was limited. It was truly shocking and frightening for one person to fend off so many.
After waves of attacks, dozens of them still couldn’t get the upper hand. Xiao Han’s movements were extremely agile and quick. He embodied the demeanor of a great general, which was utterly awe-inspiring. A smile appeared on Xiao Han’s face as he said, “Dao Meng? Nothing but a motley crew.”
“You!” Hou Qingguo immediately felt humiliated.
Unable to do anything about it, nearly forty men failed to gain any advantage. It would be embarrassing to admit this to anyone. Therefore, Hou Qingguo really didn’t know how to respond to Xiao Han’s remark, because Xiao Han had the right to say such a thing with his Strength on display.
Moreover, Hou Qingguo himself had said earlier that only the strong have dignity, while the dignity of the weak is for the strong to trample on.
This statement had now proven true for himself. Hou Qingguo indeed felt his old face flush with embarrassment.
“If there are any other moves you have, just bring them on,” Xiao Han spoke up.
Hou Qingguo was about to call on his people to go again, but then looking around, he saw his brothers lying, sitting, or kneeling on the ground. The first wave suffered the worst, arms chopped, bodies bleeding; the second wave was not much better, with broken ribs from being kicked in the chest. Of the thirty or so men, more than twenty had lost their combat power. The rest, who were barely hanging on, had all been hit by fists and kicks.
Seeing this scene, Hou Qingguo suddenly felt bewildered.
Was this kid a robot? To fight so many in succession without showing any signs of fatigue was beyond comprehension.
In fact, Xiao Han himself was also puzzled. When had he become so strong? He remembered the first time he fought Liao Zhijie at the school gate—just three or four people had left him completely drained. Yet now, facing more than thirty people, he didn’t feel tired at all. Aside from breathing quickly and being soaked in sweat, he felt as though he could go another round.
“Xiao Han!” At this moment, his dormitory brothers hurried over in a rush.
Zhang Dagou, holding a steel rod over a meter long, quickly rushed towards Xiao Han. Liu Bin was still in a tank top, wearing beach shorts and flip-flops. Of the three, Liu Bin was running last, while Zhang Feng led the charge.
“How is it, are we too late?” Zhang Feng panted.
“Not at all!” Xiao Han laughed with a heh.
“Oh my God!” At this moment, Zhang Dagou uttered in shock.
Everyone was stupefied, a dumbfounded look on their faces. Liu Bin, gasping for air, asked with wide eyes: “What… What’s going on here? This can’t be a movie set, can it?”
“Xiao Han, are… are all these people taken down by you?” Zhang Feng asked.
“Heh, do you think they decided to lie down on the ground themselves?” Xiao Han retorted with a question.
“Impossible!” Zhang Dagou exclaimed.
“What… who are all of these people?” Liu Bin asked curiously.
“People from Dao Meng!” Xiao Han replied briefly.
“Holy shit!” Liu Bin went limp in an instant, collapsing into Zhang Dagou’s arms.
“What’s… what’s going on?” Zhang Dagou hurriedly supported Liu Bin, asking, “Kid, why are you scared to this extent?”
“Don’t even mention it.” Liu Bin had a bitter expression, and said with a wry smile, “Dao Meng is the biggest gang in the provincial city, teeming with experts. I… I’m scared…”
“Look at you, spineless.” Zhang Dagou couldn’t hide his irritation and then said, “Getting frightened over such a trivial thing. Wait… Dao Meng? Is it the same Dao Meng that was exposed last week for chopping off people’s limbs, stuffing them into chemical barrels, filling them with cement, and the victim was tortured miserably for seven days and nights before dying?”
“Yes!” Liu Bin nodded.
“We’re done for!” Zhang Dagou was also terrified.
Hou Qingguo, seeing that Xiao Han had called for reinforcements and considering that his own men were severely injured, had no choice but to order a retreat.
“Retreat!” Hou Qingguo shouted.
Whoosh…
Dozens of people quickly boarded the vans, and then they speedily left the scene.
“Xiao Han!” At this moment, Lan Yudie hurriedly threw herself into Xiao Han’s arms, choking up, “Xiao Han, are you alright?”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Xiao Han shook his head.
“But there’s blood on you!” Lan Yudie said anxiously.
“It’s someone else’s blood!” Xiao Han responded.
Lan Yudie gritted her teeth, holding back tears from streaming down, and said, “It’s all my fault, insisting on shopping at this time. Otherwise, none of this would have happened.”
“This has nothing to do with you!” Xiao Han shook his head and then said, “They were targeting me. Even if they didn’t make a move today, they would have done it sooner or later. So, stop blaming yourself.”
“Why would they want to attack you?!” Lan Yudie finally got to the heart of the matter.
Dao Meng is a Black society gang. How could such a group target a student? This was something Lan Yudie couldn’t fathom. In fact, not only Lan Yudie couldn’t figure it out, even Xiao Han was puzzled.
Liu Bin hurriedly said, “For Dao Meng to make a move to kill someone, that’s… that’s no small feat.”
“What do you mean?” Xiao Han asked, puzzled.
“I’ve heard… Dao Meng doesn’t make their move lightly.” Liu Bin said quickly, “Getting Dao Meng to act comes with a hefty price. You need at least eight or nine hundred thousand, if not a million, to get them involved. Moreover, Dao Meng doesn’t easily fail. Since they failed this time, I’m afraid there will be a second round of retaliation. So, be careful.”
“What to do? What can we do?!” Lan Yudie panicked, looking as though she was about to cry.
“We can’t just let ourselves be bullied for nothing, can we?” Zhang Dagou said.@@novelbin@@
“I think we need to figure out the whole story first,” Liu Bin hurriedly said. “Why did Dao Meng target you? Who hired Dao Meng? Perhaps they got the wrong person. If they got it wrong, then the problem can be easily solved.”
“After having injured so many of their people, do you think it’s going to be easy?” Zhang Feng interjected.
“Uh…” Everyone immediately fell silent.
“Xiao Han, you should get out of here and lay low for a while.” Liu Bin said with a wry smile. “Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to provoke Dao Meng. Not even the provincial city’s scions like Mo Shaocong would dare to confront Dao Meng head-on, let alone a common person.”
“If you’re a real man, solve it in a manly way.” Xiao Han glanced at the others, took off his jacket and threw it into the nearby trash can, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll go to Dao Meng myself and clear things up.”
“You’re insane!” Liu Bin looked at Xiao Han in disbelief, saying, “You can’t even hide from them and now you want to go to their doorstep?”
“You can dodge for a day, but not forever.” Xiao Han smiled faintly, then continued, “Since there’s no escaping, why not confront the situation head-on and clarify things.”
“When will you go?” Zhang Feng asked. “I’ll go with you!”
“Let’s go tomorrow,” Xiao Han looked at Lan Yudie and said, “Tomorrow will be the weekend. Tomorrow night.”
