Chapter twenty two

Xiao Zihan, accompanied by ten people, arrived at "Minglin." The sounds of fighting inside "Minglin" had already echoed from afar. It seemed like he wasn't too late; "Minglin" was still under the control of the Xiaofei Hall.

While the sounds of battle continued inside "Minglin," its surroundings remained quiet and deserted. No one dared to watch the spectacle of this gang warfare. As for the police, they would only arrive after the fighting was over, symbolically arresting a few individuals.

"Minglin" had not been taken over yet, not because they had sufficient manpower or the opposition was weak, but because of one person – Yue Feiyang. In fact, the sudden attack had caught everyone off guard. Faced with the three hundred henchmen of the opposing side, even if their own group was stronger, they wouldn't stand a chance. Fortunately, Ah Guang called in time, warning about a possible attack and allowing some preparation. Otherwise, the opposing force would have easily conquered the "Minglin" Mahjong Club.

Although Yue Feiyang had good intelligence and strategic thinking, at this moment, he had no idea where to start. Moreover, he had no authority to command others. But he knew what their side needed at this moment – momentum, the spirit to bravely face a formidable enemy.

Therefore, facing dozens of burly men wielding machetes, Yue Feiyang took up a machete himself and charged out fearlessly, standing in front without a hint of fear.

A tall and fierce man among the opponents shouted, "Kid, you're looking for death!" and swung his machete towards Yue Feiyang.

Yue Feiyang knew this man must be a leader or someone higher up. As long as he could swiftly deal with him, the enemy's morale would certainly drop, and their brothers would be inspired. This delay would allow them to await reinforcements.

Yue Feiyang focused his gaze, concentrating on the approaching blade. Just when the man expected him to dodge, Yue Feiyang shouted loudly, gripping the machete with both hands and advancing.

With a loud clash, the man was pushed back, his right hand barely holding onto the handle. He was shocked. At that moment, Yue Feiyang had already predicted his likely panic, so the first strike was a feint, followed by a decisive blow.

The strike landed precisely on the man's neck. He clutched his bleeding neck, disbelief in his eyes, and collapsed with a thud. Shouts erupted behind Yue Feiyang as dozens of people, led by Huang Xin, approached. Yue Feiyang had quickly taken down one of the enemy leaders, boosting their morale and giving them the courage to confront the opponents.

The enemy, expecting an easy victory in the surprise attack, was now met with resistance. Not only were they prepared, but a formidable fighter who could eliminate their leaders had also emerged. Their morale plummeted. A man stepped forward, shouting, "Damn it, don't be scared by him. He's just one person. With me, Jin Yuan, what's there to fear? Attack, and take down this Mahjong club!" Saying this, he charged forward, directly at Yue Feiyang.

Seeing their leader charging in, his subordinates couldn't stay idle. A group of people raised their machetes and rushed towards Yue Feiyang's group, clashing with the members of the Xiaofei Hall. Blades flashed, blood spattered, creating a scene terrifying enough to make the faint-hearted wet their pants.

Huang Xin shouted amidst the battle, realizing that they couldn't win in a head-on confrontation due to the overwhelming enemy numbers. They needed to use the advantage of their location and maneuver around the enemy. So, he fought while strategically retreating.

Yue Feiyang also wanted to retreat, but his opponent was not ordinary. Especially after Jin Yuan saw Yue Feiyang's strength, he became cautious, aiming not for victory but to avoid defeat. He only needed to keep Yue Feiyang engaged, reducing their casualties. After capturing the "Minglin" Mahjong Club, they could deal with Yue Feiyang together. If possible, recruiting Yue Feiyang would be even better.

Seeing Jin Yuan skillfully wielding a steel knife, guarding closely, and with several subordinates assisting him, Yue Feiyang faced a significant threat. The blades were everywhere, and a moment of distraction would result in injuries.

Yue Feiyang had already taken down more than ten people, but he felt the pressure around him increasing. At a glance, he was shocked to find dozens of people surrounding him. Jin Yuan had already retreated, commanding his subordinates to attack Yue Feiyang. Yue Feiyang gritted his teeth, wielding his machete even faster and more fiercely, but with every person he took down, more enemies surrounded him, giving him a sense of impending doom.

Just when he felt his strength about to give out, a loud shout suddenly rang out, and a robust figure rushed towards them. This person held a very ordinary machete, but in his hands, it exuded a strong killing intent, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Seeing someone unfamiliar approaching, the enemies surrounding Yue Feiyang hastily sent a few individuals to intercept him, intending to eliminate the newcomer quickly. However, the man swung his machete continuously, the blade flashing like lightning, shining in all directions. In an instant, he took out the individuals sent to stop him, as if they were insignificant ants, weak and pitiful. Such overwhelming strength horrified the enemies surrounding Yue Feiyang. Even Jin Yuan, at this moment, trembled inwardly, wondering who this person was and how powerful he could be.

Yue Feiyang's face showed a hint of relief as the newcomer turned out to be his second brother – Xing Ao. Since Yue Feiyang had known Xing Ao, he had never seen him take action. Considering Xing Ao wasn't a good-natured person, Yue Feiyang had no idea about his brother's skills. However, Yue Feiyang was well aware of Xiao Zihan's strength. When Xiao Zihan saved him from Shang Zixiong, Xiao Zihan used at most fifty percent of his power. Yue Feiyang had never witnessed such terrifying strength before. Xing Ao, being Xiao Zihan's close friend, might not match Xiao Zihan's skill, but he certainly wasn't weak. Today's encounter confirmed it – Xing Ao's strength could only be described as extraordinary.

Xing Ao rushed towards Yue Feiyang, cutting down anyone in his path with unstoppable force. In no time, he reached Yue Feiyang, and those around Yue Feiyang were retreating in terror. Jin Yuan, especially, stared at Xing Ao with intense hatred, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Wiping off the blood splattered on his face, Xing Ao said to Yue Feiyang, "Little brother, how did you manage to get into this situation? Why let a bunch of people surround you? If you can't win, you should run. Why let them close in and attack you?"

Yue Feiyang smiled bitterly, "Second brother, given the circumstances, do you still have the heart to joke? Think about how to get through the current crisis."

Xing Ao laughed heartily at Yue Feiyang's words, "Little brother, think about it. I'm here; can the big brother be far behind? Although our manpower is insufficient, victory in battles has never solely depended on numbers. Look at how I only swung my knife a few times and scared them witless. Don't you understand?"

Yue Feiyang was intrigued, and looking at Xing Ao's smiling face, he felt like he didn't recognize his second brother at this moment. Was this seemingly wise person really his second brother? His rogue-like second brother? Yue Feiyang smiled slightly and said, "Big brother wants to rely on courage and brutality to intimidate the enemy."

Xing Ao nodded, "Smart. No wonder big brother always says you're material for someone like a military strategist."

As the two brothers bantered, they infuriated the group in front of them. Wasn't it obvious they weren't being taken seriously? Jin Yuan angrily shouted, "What are you all staring at? Attack! Our group is being scared off by two little kids. If this gets out, won't people laugh at us?"

As he finished speaking, they suddenly heard several exceptionally loud screams. These screams echoed one after another, like a continuous, terrifying symphony of death. The enemy thugs who had already entered "Minglin" all retreated at once, their faces pale and filled with inexplicable horror. One of them, upon seeing Jin Yuan, the leader of this surprise attack, ran towards him with trembling legs and stammered, "Big brother, we, we should retreat. The person inside, he, he's not human at all."

Jin Yuan, already furious, couldn't stand this person's words and slapped him down, cursing, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut you. Not human? Is he a ghost? Damn it."

At this moment, at the entrance of "Minglin," as the enemy thugs retreated uncontrollably, a figure emerged, his face filled with ferocity – it was Xiao Zihan. Behind him, the ten people from the Xiaofei Hall looked at him in fear, as if they had seen a ghost.

Jin Yuan pointed at Xiao Zihan, asking, "Is this the guy?"

The guy who got slapped trembled even more upon seeing Xiao Zihan. He ran up to Jin Yuan, legs shaking, and said, "Too powerful. He's too powerful. If we don't escape, we'll be killed by him sooner or later."

Jin Yuan, already furious, dismissed this person's words as nonsense, saying pessimistic things. He punched the guy in the face, then turned to the people surrounding Xing Ao and Xiao Zihan, shouting, "Take down that kid. Whoever takes him down, I'll promote to be the leader."

Hearing this, those people were suddenly motivated. Despite seeing the brothers who had entered "Minglin" with ashen faces, they were not too afraid. Could anyone be stronger than Xing Ao in front of them?

Under a generous reward, there will be brave individuals. Moreover, they hadn't seen Xiao Zihan's strength, and others' words were not entirely believable. Dozens of people brandished steel knives and rushed towards Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan's face was cold and ruthless. His eyes, filled with murderous intent, looked at these people as if they were already dead. In a moment, he had already knocked down a large number of them, and the remaining ones were panicking and confused.

Xiao Zihan wiped the blood splattered on his face, looking at Yue Feiyang, and said, "Little brother, how did you end up like this? Why let so many people surround you? If you can't win, you should run. How did it come to them closing in on you like this?"

Yue Feiyang smiled wryly, "Second brother, given the circumstances, do you still have the heart to joke? Think about how to get through the current crisis."

Xiao Zihan laughed and said, "Little brother, think about it. I'm here; can big brother still be far behind? Although our manpower is not enough, victories in battles don't solely depend on numbers. Hehe, look at how I only swung my knife a few times and scared them enough. Don't you understand?"

Yue Feiyang was moved. He looked at the smiling Xing Ao and felt that he didn't recognize him at this moment. Was this seemingly wise person really his second brother? His rogue-like second brother? He smiled slightly and said, "Big brother wants to come for a fierce confrontation, intimidating the enemy."

Xiao Zihan nodded, "Smart, no wonder big brother always says you're material for someone like a military strategist."

As the two brothers were talking and laughing, they infuriated the group in front of them. Wasn't it obvious they weren't being taken seriously? Jin Yuan angrily shouted, "What are you all staring at? Attack! Our group is being scared off by two little kids. If this gets out, won't people laugh at us?"

As he finished speaking, they suddenly heard several exceptionally loud screams. These screams echoed one after another, like a continuous, terrifying symphony of death. The enemy thugs who had already entered "Minglin" all retreated at once, their faces pale and filled with inexplicable horror. One of them, upon seeing Jin Yuan, the leader of this surprise attack, ran towards him with trembling legs and stammered, "Big brother, we, we should retreat. The person inside, he, he's not human at all."

Jin Yuan was seething with anger. Upon hearing the man's words, he became even more furious and struck the man with a palm, knocking him to the ground. Cursing, he said, "You keep spouting nonsense, I'll chop you up. Not human? Is he a ghost? Damn it."

At that moment, at the entrance of "Minglin," as the enemy thugs were retreating uncontrollably, a figure walked out. His face was filled with ferocity, and his imposing aura was overwhelming. It was Xiao Zihan. Behind him, the ten people from Xiaofei Hall were looking at him in terror, as if they had seen a ghost.

Pointing at Xiao Zihan, Jin Yuan asked, "Is this the guy?"

The man who had been slapped shivered again at the sight of Xiao Zihan. Trembling, with wide eyes, he said, "Too powerful, he's too powerful. If we don't escape, we'll be killed by him sooner or later."

Hearing this, Jin Yuan completely dismissed the man's words as mere rambling. He punched the man in the face and then turned to the people surrounding Xing Ao and Xiao Zihan, shouting, "Take down that kid. Whoever takes him down, I'll promote to be the leader."

Upon hearing this, those people suddenly became enthusiastic. Although they saw the brothers who had entered "Minglin" looking pale, they weren't too afraid. Could anyone be stronger than Xing Ao in front of them?

Under the promise of a substantial reward, courage emerged. Moreover, they hadn't witnessed Xiao Zihan's strength, and others' descriptions didn't seem convincing. Dozens of people raised their steel knives and rushed toward Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan's expression was icy and fierce. His eyes, shining with a chilling light, regarded these people as if they were already dead. The previous carnage had awakened his bloodlust. Watching the four people charging at him in the front, a cruel smile appeared on Xiao Zihan's lips. His right leg slowly lifted.

Before the onlookers could understand what was happening, the four individuals in the front let out frantic screams, flying backward. Four agonizing cries filled the air, sending shivers down everyone's spine. In an instant, Xiao Zihan had kicked out with his four legs, carrying immense force, sending the four individuals in different directions. The people behind them fell into momentary chaos, with several being overwhelmed. The rest were left panicking.

Xiao Zihan's eyes emitted a fierce and killing intent. He shouted loudly and took advantage of the chaos to strike. His legs were like two massive sledgehammers, carrying a destructive aura. He kicked out forcefully and continuously, sweeping those hit off their feet. They fell to the ground and remained motionless, without even twitching.

Foot up, leg down. No one could clearly see the trajectory of Xiao Zihan's legs. They only felt that his legs were more terrifying than the Grim Reaper's scythe. After a moment, a large area around Xiao Zihan was filled with bodies. The remaining people had lost their courage to face this death-like figure. They abandoned their knives and fled, screaming in panic.

Jin Yuan was frozen, his eyes staring blankly ahead. Muttering to himself, he said, "What is this guy made of? Is he made of steel? Are those even human legs?"

Someone beside him poked him with their hand and asked, "Big brother, do we still have to fight?"

Jin Yuan shivered all over, regaining his senses. Shouting, he said, "Fight my ass, everyone get the hell out of here." With that, he sprinted away, and a large group followed suit, making loud noises.
