True Solution of the Sword Dao

Chapter 19: Chapter 15 Fierce Battle Chapter 19: Chapter 15 Fierce Battle As the distance closed, the sounds became clearer, no longer intermittent as they were at the beginning, but correspondingly, the stench of blood grew stronger.

Slowly, a muscular middle-aged man came into Lin Fei’s view. He sat on the forest floor, bloodstains sticking to his face and wearing a black baseball cap, his bare upper body showcasing muscles that were pale and twisted like little mice squirming under the skin.

The man kept talking to himself, with no one else around. Only in front of him lay the blood-covered body of a woman, dressed in a red dress. From Lin Fei’s angle, she could only see the woman’s exposed feet, painted with red nail polish, her toes delicate and clear.

From the curves, complexion, and dressing, Lin Fei deduced that she must have been a quite refined woman.

The middle-aged man sitting beside the woman, with a full beard and indifferent eyes, was lit by the sunset glow, creating a bright reflection from the ground. It was a small fruit knife, still with some dried blood on it.

Lin Fei’s heart tightened to the extreme, it was obvious that this man was a desperate fugitive who had just killed someone and was in an unstable emotional state. If he discovered Lin Fei spying on him at such a moment, he would undoubtedly kill without hesitation.

However, the more dangerous the situation, the calmer Lin Fei’s heart became.

“Silently backing away is the best option, I must not be discovered by him, for if I am, it’s bound to be a fight to the death.”

In both his past and present lives, Lin Fei had actually been just an ordinary person. Although he resolved to face life and death head-on in this reborn life, it was only when confronted with such a scene that Lin Fei truly understood, the mental resolve needed was definitely not something that could be supported by the mere determination he had at the start.

In this era of the rule of law, killing someone meant a violation of the law, a direct defiance against the entire nation’s system and order, a direct confrontation with the massive and terrifying state machinery.

The severe consequences of such an action were akin to stepping wrong and finding oneself between heaven and earth. So at this moment, he didn’t even bother to assess whether the other person was an opponent he could handle; instead, he chose to retreat. This situation was nothing like the one at the Martial Arts Club. That time was just the use of some covert little tricks, and it was not fatal. This time, however, was completely different.

Lin Fei slowly retreated, afraid to make even the slightest sound. The man, very cooperatively, remained sitting on the ground, muttering to himself with some inexplicable sad words, completely unaware of Lin Fei’s presence.
