"The young woman is beautiful—the young woman is carefree—the young woman disappears into the green gauze curtain—"
The person humming and hawing was Xie Zhao singing. Li Yang chuckled. It seemed the idiot had gone to a brothel. After all, they were drinking the same wine, so there was no reason why he and Wang Yunyi would have a fight while Xie Zhao was fine.
"How many shots did you fire?" Li Yang asked with a cold laugh.
"Hehe... three, three—huh? Who are you...you, what are you doing here?" Xie Zhao looked up at the person at his door in a daze. The figure was blurry and he couldn't see clearly. He thought it was his bad friend and was about to brag when he suddenly saw the person clearly. He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat and even peed himself. His mind cleared instantly, and he stared wide-eyed at Li Yang.
"You, you, you..."
Xie Zhao was so nervous that he couldn't even speak.
"You, you, you... why are you stuttering?" Li Yang said calmly, arms crossed.
Xie Zhao took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and asked in a composed manner, "Li Yang, how did you know I live here?"
As he spoke, he made a backward step as if he were about to turn and run away, a move that Li Yang saw through at a glance.
He clearly knew very well that he was no match for Li Yang, and that Li Yang's visit was not to build a relationship with him, but to seek revenge.
Then the only option left is to run for your life.
"What are you doing so late? How about I invite you out for a drink?" Xie Zhao asked nervously, his whole body sweating profusely, his face wet and his whole body soaked as if he had been washed.
"Drinking? With or without spikes?" Li Yang sneered.
"What? Ah—" Xie Zhao shuddered, pretended to be stupid for a moment, turned around and ran away, leaping down. At this moment, the little bit of wine he had drunk seemed to be gone, and his movements were strangely agile.
"snort!"
Li Yang was even faster, jumping directly to the first floor below, then leaping one step to the corner and down another, stopping Xie Zhao, who was frantically fleeing, in just a few moves.
"ah--"
Xie Zhao exclaimed again and turned to flee upwards.
Thump thump thump!
The sound of hurried, dense footsteps echoed through the corridor.
Li Yang was furious. "Damn it, are you trying to play a game of climbing stairs or hide-and-seek with me?" He stepped on the Bagua and caught up with Xie Zhao in a few flashes. It wasn't a waste of time.
"Whoosh—smack smack—"
A palm struck Xie Zhao on the back. The palm struck so fast that it made a crackling sound as it rubbed against the air, exploding like thunder in Xie Zhao's ears.
"Hmph—Wow!"
Xie Zhao groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. His body flew out and fell flat on his face on the stairs like a hapless slumber, sliding straight up for several meters. When he reached the corner of the stairs, he slammed headfirst into the wall with a bang.
Buzz—
Xie Zhao felt dizzy and lightheaded, his back ached terribly, and his chest felt heavy and suffocating, as if a huge stone was pressing down on it. His head spun, and he trembled all over, eventually collapsing to the ground.
Chapter 369: Glistening Silk Threads
Xie Zhao felt dizzy and lightheaded, his back ached terribly, and his chest felt heavy and suffocating, as if a huge stone was pressing down on it. His head spun, and he trembled all over, eventually collapsing to the ground.
"Run away? Why aren't you running away anymore?" Li Yang strolled up and looked down at him.
"I, I, I know I was wrong, please, please forgive me!" Xie Zhao pleaded in a panic.
"You're such a coward, it's really boring. Why don't you stand up and fight back? Maybe I'll let you go. You're as soft as a noodle now, I'm really embarrassed to make a move!" Li Yang squatted down and grabbed Xie Zhao's hair disdainfully.
A flash of cold light.
*Sizzle*
A sharp, triangular military knife slid out a cold, white line, its sharp tip whistling as it scraped against the air, aiming for Li Yang's thigh.
If this stab hits, Li Yang's thigh will definitely be pierced!
"Die—" Xie Zhao roared furiously, his face contorted with rage. Since returning from Pingzhou, he had spent a few days recuperating in the hospital. After being discharged, Xie Zhao had become ruthless, always carrying a triangular military knife on his person for any eventuality.
Unexpectedly, he found himself in such a situation today, unleashing almost all his strength as he plunged the knife into Li Yang's thigh.
Bang!
A sound of muscles colliding. Xie Zhao groaned, feeling a sharp pain in his wrist, as if it had snapped.
The rapidly advancing arm stopped, and looking down, it saw that the tip of the knife was only a hair's breadth away from Li Yang's thigh, but Li Yang's thigh was completely unharmed, and even his pants were not pierced.
Li Yang blocked his wrist, and the violent impact left his arm numb and his bones almost broken.
Ding-dong!
The triangular saber fell to the ground and struck the concrete with a pleasant thud.
Xie Zhao was in despair. This was his last resort. If he could stab Li Yang, he would have a chance to turn the tide. Unfortunately, his plan failed.
"Not bad! You know how to fight back! Trying to show off to me! I'll show you!" Li Yang's expression turned cold, and he grabbed his hair and slammed him against the wall.
"Bang bang bang..."
Blood splattered everywhere, and in a short while, Xie Zhao's head became a bloody gourd, his eyes rolling back as if he were about to die.
Snap snap snap...
Another slap in the face.
