Chapter 151: Encircled by them
The moment Duan Cheng had left, Gu Qingshan said viciously, "Now that we have dealt with Lu Chen, it's time for you."He wasn't going to let Lu Chen and Feng Meifeng go. Lu Chen had disrespected him for stopping his henchmen from talking to Feng Meifeng. While he realizes Feng Meifeng wasn't going to go with him nicely, so he's going with the force option. I wonder how she'll react to me beating this kid to a bloody pulp. Gu Qingshan plans to beat Lu Chen in front of Feng Meifeng to make an example of him.
"You! Get on your knees and-"
Bang!
Before Gu Qingshan could order Lu Chen to beg for mercy, Lu Chen made his move! He swings his fist at the closest thug near him. Simultaneously, Feng Meifeng quickly runs away from the scene. The thug didn't expect Lu Chen would suddenly start swinging out of nowhere. Bam! He took the full brunt of Lu Chen's punch.
The thug drops to the floor without warning. The students and the other thugs around them didn't expect this! Before they could grasp what had happened, Lu Chen charges up to the next closest thug. I can't waste any time. He knew there's no time for him to be happy knocking down one. He had to take down more before they could realize what happened.
When Gu Qingshan had sent only five people after Long Shen, Lu Chen knew Gu Qingshan wasn't going to let him and Feng Meifeng off. However, Lu Chen had already accounted for this. I should be able to deal with seven at the least. If Duan Cheng and his group hadn't left, Lu Chen wouldn't think of pulling this stunt.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
As Lu Chen charges towards the next person to beat down to the ground, Gu Qingshan didn't act like a statue. He screams out, "Cripple him!" Duan Cheng's words had spoken true. But Gu Qingshan isn't going to say it as Lu Chen had crossed the line with him again. Do you think you can do whatever you want while we just stand here? Well, think again! I'll drag you across the ground and make you eat it!
The other four thugs charge at Lu Chen. Two of them hold up their metal bats, while the others start swinging their fist at him. Shit, this is too soon. Lu Chen miscalculated in his thinking. He thought he could have beat each thug one by one, all the way until the third one at least. Their sudden charge is something Lu Chen didn't account for this soon. Even if they're common thugs, they still have the number's advantage over a single Lu Chen.
Dammit, I have to improvise then. The only option Lu Chen could decide now is to take some of the blows while striking them down one by one.
The thugs encircle him, and the barrages of punches came towards Lu Chen at opposite angles, leading him to slide out from the side. But then, the bat swung down at him. Out of reflex, Lu Chen moves his arm up to block the blow. However, it did stun his arm. The other thugs took the chance to land hits onto him. Lu Chen didn't let his stunned arm stop him as he attacks the person in front.
I can't stop. The moment Lu Chen slows down even for a second, they would take advantage of him. That would be the death of him. The longer Lu Chen is encircled, the more blows Lu Chen receives from them. They wore him out like a rag doll.
Of course, Lu Chen did wore out some of the thugs as well. However, the two thugs that he knocked to the ground had gotten back up with revenge in their minds. Right now, Lu Chen only swings at the air instead of hitting any of them. He had exhausted everything. However, the only thought that kept driving him is; I have to win. Yes, the only thing that matters to him is winning! Instead of his punches being precise like his time in training, he starts flaying his arms around, trying to hit anything within his grasp.
However, that left many openings for him. A punch to the gut made Lu Chen pause his assault, and the thugs took advantage of it.
