As he walked towards his front door, the dark alley was so dark that he could barely see his hand in front of his face. But Li Yang's eyesight was extraordinary; he could still see the road and avoid some protruding objects and the puddles below by the faint light.
Just as Li Yang was about to walk out of the alley and approach his house, a white light flashed from the side, a cold wind swept through, and a chilling aura rushed straight towards his lower abdomen.
Damn, someone's trying to assassinate me?
Before Li Yang could think, he swung his feet, drew a circle, and the triangular blade was already at his waist. The blade pierced past his stomach, and the chilling aura made his skin tremble slightly, raising goosebumps.
Damn, that was close! I'll kill you, you bastard!
Having narrowly escaped death, Li Yang was instantly filled with rage. He unleashed a powerful palm strike, slamming it into the man's shoulder with a resounding crack, the sound of large chunks of bone shattering clearly audible. Li Yang had already entered the Dark Force stage, capable of unleashing wisps of Dark Force. Although still very weak and subtle, it still possessed astonishing destructive power.
The attacker groaned and flew backward, landing in the sewage in a distant alley. Sewage splashed everywhere, emitting a faint stench. The man struggled in the water for a moment, but to no avail, only ending up filthy and disheveled, covered in mud.
Only then did Li Yang see clearly that the man was just a thin young man, not very old, with a childish face, but his small eyes revealed fear and a trace of resentment. The triangular military knife in his hand had already been taken away by Li Yang.
"Who are you? Why did you try to assassinate me?" Li Yang walked over, squatted down, and asked in a deep voice.
"Because your life is valuable!" the boy said, looking up.
"Oh? Does that mean your life isn't worth anything? Every human life is valuable!" Li Yang was somewhat surprised. How could this kid say such a stupid thing? Of course my life is valuable, but I definitely won't trade your life for mine.
"You're wrong. Some people's lives are worthless!" The boy shook his head slightly and said bitterly.
Chapter 185: The Jianghu Kill Order
"Speak, why did you come to kill me? Who sent you?" Li Yang stopped wasting words and placed the triangular military knife in front of the boy, putting pressure on him.
"Nobody! I need money, and your life can be exchanged for money, so I'm here to kill you!" The boy had some backbone. His shoulder was shattered by Li Yang's palm strike, and he was sweating profusely from the pain, constantly gasping for breath, but he didn't cry out in pain or beg for mercy. It was quite interesting.
"What do you mean my life is valuable?" Li Yang was curious. Damn it, my life is priceless. You just came to assassinate me for no reason. You're too much... Li Yang suddenly realized that this matter was very serious, concerning his own life. He stared into the boy's eyes and narrowed his eyes, seeing through his inner secret.
Damn it, that mad dog actually dared to issue a kill order against me! All I did was cripple one of your lackeys! Zhang Wen, that bastard, has indeed run away and gone into hiding, and Third Brother has also been dealt a terrible blow by Li Yang. He'll probably go to that mad dog and exaggerate his story, how much he looks down on him, and how he was only after him.
Since it's called a mad dog, it must be a brainless dog. It's quite normal for it to fall for a trick and issue a kill order against itself.
What greatly displeased Li Yang was that his bonus was only ten thousand yuan! Damn it! Even beating up your mad dog's mother's ass would have been about ten thousand yuan, right? You only give me ten thousand yuan for my life? You wait, I'll show you how much my life is really worth sooner or later!
"Your dad's a gambler? Your mom ran off with someone?" Now that Li Yang knew the boy's secrets, dealing with him would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Damn, this kid who's good at fighting is too soft. He's playing mind games. Damn, I can read people's minds. You think you can mess with me? I'll cripple your little bastard!
"You, how did you know?" The boy stared at Li Yang in shock, his eyes wide, looking somewhat dumbfounded.
"Just a guess! Look at your pathetic face! There must be some unspeakable problem at home. With my intelligence, I can guess it right away!" Li Yang said proudly.
"But what I said just now was just to fool you. In fact, I can see through people's hearts. I can see your secret at a glance. Your father lost money gambling and owes someone 30,000 yuan, right?"
"If you can't pay it back within a week, I'll make your sister work as a prostitute, is that right?" Li Yang stared intently at the boy with eyes like lightning, putting invisible pressure on him.
The boy was indeed somewhat overwhelmed and unable to accept it. He was breathing rapidly and said in terror, "You, you're lying! I, I didn't!"
"If I give you 30,000 yuan, how do you plan to thank me?" Li Yang suddenly laughed, a bright and sunny laugh. "Don't make your sister sell herself; just give her to me. She'll repay you with her body, and you won't have to pay back the 30,000 yuan." Pretty generous, right? But this was just a fleeting lustful thought from Li Yang. He would never actually say it aloud.
"You really will give it to me?" The boy was stunned and asked hesitantly.
"Nonsense. Since you know my life is valuable, you should know that 30,000 yuan is nothing to me!" Li Yang had money in his pocket, so he spoke with arrogance!
"If you can give me 30,000 yuan, my life is yours!" The boy suddenly jumped up, staring excitedly at Li Yang.
The boy was very excited, but Li Yang was speechless. Thirty thousand yuan to buy a life? Your life is really worthless!
"Okay, then I'll give you 30,000, no, 35,000. You can use the remaining 5,000 for medical treatment." It would be too unlucky to buy someone's life only to have them become a cripple because of the injuries I inflicted.
"Okay. I'll listen to you." The boy nodded heavily, already acting like Li Yang's loyal servant.
"You're quite skilled, and your moves are ruthless and decisive. Have you been trained?" Li Yang asked, looking him up and down.
"I've loved martial arts since I was little, but my family couldn't afford to go to a martial arts school. So I just practiced on my own. I'm sorry you had to see this," the boy said apologetically.
"No, you're already quite skilled. I'll teach you, and you'll become even more amazing!" Li Yang nodded and said.
"Yes, I will definitely train hard!" the young man replied.
"What's your name?" Li Yang was sweating bullets; after all this time, he still didn't know his name.
"My name is Tie Nan, but everyone calls me Tie Dan," the boy said, scratching his head sheepishly.
"Haha, not a bad name. Let's go, let's get the money." Li Yang led Tie Nan away. He withdrew 40,000 from the bank, gave Tie Nan 35,000, and kept the remaining 5,000 for himself.
"Remember my phone number, come find me when you're better." Li Yang gave him his phone number.
"Yes. I'll come to see you as soon as I recover." Tie Nan nodded in agreement.
"Let's go." After saying that, Li Yang went home, packed the things his parents wanted, and drove back to the hospital.
For the next period of time, Li Yang's life was incredibly exciting and fulfilling. Besides chatting and joking with his female confidantes, he took care of his parents, read books in his spare time, and practiced martial arts in the courtyard at night.
The grass never dies. Almost every day on his way to the courtyard, several groups of thugs would attack him, some with knives, some with sticks, or they would swarm him.
Tie Nan excitedly told Li Yang.
Although most of these guys only had rudimentary skills, they were easier for Li Yang than crushing an ant. They were so weak that they could kill Li Yang with a fart. Although they could help Li Yang improve his palm strikes, their martial arts skills were too low to be effective in actual combat. Instead, they became a form of sexual harassment, which made Li Yang very annoyed.
Damn it, you mad dog, you dare to be so arrogant just because you're the big shot and big gun of the black devils?
They even issued a kill order against me. If my mother hadn't been hospitalized, I would have already stormed into your hideout and wiped out that son of a bitch.
Mom's illness has mostly healed, and she can go home now. On the day she was officially discharged from the hospital, Li Yang drove his impressive Jinbei van and conveniently took Mom home.
