Chapter 169 – Fury

“That’s him! He’s the one who kicked me onto a pile of dog shit!” Rhonin pointed at me from behind the two of them. Li Lao’Er raised his hand unhappily, which meant the younger ones should not cut in on the conversation between elders.

“Isn’t this fucking Ye Lin?” Li Lao’Er smiled with his vulgar face and it looked like a chrysanthemum. After he saw Shu Sha, who was behind my back, he started salivating like a horsefly attracted to meat.

“Damn, Ye Lin, you immediately changed after wearing QingZi Academy’s uniform. I thought you only knew about fighting! Where’d you get such a pretty doll?”

Zhao GuangTou cut into the conversation with an obscene smile: “Brother Xia, looks like we’re interrupting Ye Lin’s good times, it probably wasn’t easy for him to find this sacred ground. I heard Huang San just did a chick here yesterday?”

“Exactly!” Li Lao’Er rubbed the steel pipe that was in his hands, his expression and posture were both extremely wretched, “Even if Huang San was lucky, we’re not so bad either, right? Not only can we deal with this pain in the ass, Ye Lin, we can also play with his babe after we’re finished!”

His speech was filled with obscenities. It made the class leader shake with anger and her eyes turn red.

“You… You shameless thugs!” In the quiet alley, the class leader’s high pitch voice was like lightning piercing through the sky, “You guys will definitely receive punishment by the law!”

“Hahahahaha——” Zhao GuangTou shook his head and laughed loudly, “Brother Xia, this chick is pretty spicy! But, I like! The spicier, the better!”

Li Lao’Er clicked his tongue, “This doll is pretty fierce! It’s fine as long as she doesn’t bite me… Brother Zhao, if you like her, you can go first.”

“Hey, that wouldn’t be right!” Zhang GuangTou declined in a fake manner, “You’re the older brother! I wouldn’t dare go before the older brother!”

Li Lao’Er shook his hand, “Okay, okay, the more you call me older brother, the more uncomfortable I feel. I always feel like you’re still clinging onto our past animosity and you might stab me in the back one day… Count this time as a gift, don’t decline. You can go first and torment her a bit, that way when it’s my turn, she wouldn’t have the strength to bite me.”

“Then… I’ll accept.” Zhao GuangTou chuckled and signaled Rhonin with his eyes, “Kid, you’re in luck. After brother Xiao and I are done playing around, we’ll let you have a taste too!”

“Eh? I… I get a chance too?” Rhonin was so nervous, his tongue was tied in a knot.

“What? You’re scared?” Zhao GuangTou looked at him with contempt, “There’s such a good opportunity in front of you, if you’re scared, you’ll always end up last in life!”

Rhonin looked at Shu Sha’s splendid figure that was hidden underneath her skirt and he swallowed a mouthful of spit.

“I’m not scared! Why would I be scared!” He imitated the fierce tone of his two older brothers as if it would make him seem stronger.

Li Lao’Er scoffed out a laugh, “You’re last, so you only get the leftovers!”

Zhao GuangTou said firmly: “Brother Xia, this isn’t considered leftovers! When Huang San was still the youngest in his group, there were eight people in front of him, now that’s leftovers!”

Then, I’m not sure what the two of them recalled, but they both burst into loud laughter. Rhonin followed along in a hurry and also laughed, but when he was fake laughing, his two eyes filled with an evil aura was trying to look under Shu Sha’s clothes.

The class leader can still barely keep her cool while it was only Xia B and Zhao GuangTou teasing her with obscene remarks, but she suffered a huge psychological shock when Rhonin, who she let go, also decided to join in the gang rape. She does not want to believe that a child around her brother’s age can hold such wicked desires about herself.

Shu Sha could not stand steadily anymore. She leaned back against the uneven stone wall powerlessly.

“Don’t worry, it’ll never get to their turn.”

It was supposed to be words of comfort, but I felt it was extremely ambiguous after I said it, and I slapped myself on the face in a fit of anger.

The class leader took three deep breaths, and she finally regained an unflinching expression like in the past —— she no longer has any doubts of whether or not I am in cahoots with those guys.

“Let’s escape together.” The class leader said to me in a quiet voice, “Even if only one of us makes it, they can call the police to rescue the other one…”

Although I was up against two fierce fighters with a total power of 1600, which is almost twice of mines, the class leader’s words stirred up the endless battle desire that was within me.

Escape? Why would I escape? Humans produce adrenaline when they are in dangerous situations and it causes a ‘fight or flee‘ response —— my adrenaline is not used for running away, it is used for fighting!

I clenched both of my fists and had a strange smile on my face. I cracked the bones in my arms and I swelled up my muscles, it felt like the buttons on the uniform was going to fly off.

You guys are acting like that so don’t blame me for not holding back.

You guys may have weapons, but you will not be able to use its full potential in this narrow alley. Even if you attack with the steel pipe, you can probably only attack from up to down, since it would be too restricting to move it left to right.

Besides, I have already been studying Yin Yang Sanshou from gramps for a while now. I have only tried it on Li ErLeng, that time I was playing around, but this is the first time using it seriously in a fight.

The most important point is that although Xia B and Zhao GuangTou have an extensive criminal record, they don’t have the guts to kill someone.

But, I do.

As for the reason why, maybe it’s because they are older than me by one or two years and the “Minor Protection Laws” no longer apply. Or maybe in their subconscious, they still understand that human life is invaluable, and nothing happened so far where they had to take a life or fight to the death.

I’m not the same as them since I often fight with all my strength. If my opponent did something I detest, and if I believe they crossed into the territory of “legitimate self-defense”, I will actually get thoughts about killing them.

This is also one of the reasons why I never fight with a weapon.

I’m a bit afraid of beating someone to death. I will have a guilty conscience if I killed someone who did not deserve it.

But as long as it does not affect my conscience, I don’t care if I become a murderer.

For example, today.

For example, right now.

If it was judged to be excessive self-defense by China’s stupid laws, and I was sentenced to ten to twenty years, I won’t really worry that much about my dad. I understand my dad, if I was suffering in prison, he would become more serious, more courageous, he would work harder, and he might even give up drinking, until the day I’m released from prison.

Also, if I was sent to prison, wouldn’t that mean Xiao Qin won’t bother me anymore? Regardless of how strong she is, there’s no way she could break me out of prison, right? I don’t believe she would wait for me like my dad!

After these thoughts, I made preparations for killing Xia B and Zhao GuangTou in my head. Then I made a bone-chilling smile which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Ye Lin, what the fuck are you smiling for! There’s fucking two of us!”

“Brother Xia, be careful —— Ye Lin isn’t mentally stable, I’ve heard he has a mental illness!”

I can’t believe you two inhuman scoundrels would say there’s something wrong with my head!

You’re both already dead men in my eyes!

Not everyone’s life is equally precious, I’m not Mother Mary! In my eyes, forgiveness is not justice! My sense of justice is upheld with strength and death!

Let’s take your strength, my strength, your deaths, my death, and weigh it on the scales of destiny!

Who can live forever? What’s the point of a petty human’s life against the mysteries of the universe? You might as well entrust the melody of your soul to the ravaging winds while your heart still beats…

Like a berserker who destroys everything!!

The aura around me changed in an instant, and it turned into pure killing intent.

Even Shu Sha, who was behind me, was forced back a step. She held her chest and watched me become the embodiment of an evil god while being anxious and frightened.

Unlimited murderous intent seeped out and Zhao GuangTou’s face twitched. In order to suppress his fear, he howled while raising the steel pipe and he aimed a downward attack towards the bridge of my nose.

I took in a deep breath and temporarily stopped myself on the boundaries of berserker mode. That way, I would still have enough reasoning to use Yin Yang Sanshou.

I did not grab the pipe like how people grab swords with their bare hands in moves. Instead, I made sure my timing was right and lightly swiped right with the back of my right hands. Then, I used the friction from my sleeve to slowly dissipate the force of the steel pipe.

No, it did not completely dissipate. I still cannot control Hua Jin fully yet, but it was enough.

I turned my hand around and grabbed onto Zhao GuangTou’s steel pipe, and he was unable to take it back.

Oh, you look more frightened than before. I’m satisfied, you inferior forms, show me more of your rotten expressions. I will feed on your fear all the way until death brings you mercy.

Xia B noticed it was a bad situation, so he brandished his steel pipe and tried to hit my shoulder. I sneered, turned around, and presented my back to him. Then I took a step and hit Zhao GuangTou’s nose as hard as I could with my left elbow!

The sound of a nose breaking is especially relaxing at night. Although he took a heavy hit, he still did not let go of the steel pipe. In that case, I kicked him in the abdomen. If he was holding in his urine, that kick would have burst his bladder.

Zhao GuangTou shrieked and let go, and I used this opportunity to take the steel pipe. At this moment, Li Lao’Er’s attack struck me on my back with a muffled ‘thud’ sound. Unfortunately for him, my back muscles have gone through special training. I was also wearing a layer of clothes, so other than feeling a bit of a burn, it did not really cause any serious damage.

Li Lao’Er did not wait for my counterattack. He jumped backwards and went to checkout Zhao GuangTou’s injury.

No wonder they are durable hoodlums, Zhao GuangTou actually stood up by himself while holding his nose that was bleeding non-stop. He even said to Li Lao’Er:

“I’m fine. It’s not the first time I fought him, what can he do by himself? Wasn’t his boss also good at fighting, but wasn’t he also taken care of by our guys?”

My boss? What? When did I get a boss?

After seeing how puzzled I was, Zhao GuangTou began to laugh evilly as if his words can strike me down.

“Ye Lin, you better not think you’re peerless simply because no one came to take care of you! We don’t lower ourselves to your level because it’s too much of a pain to fight you, and we don’t get any benefits! But it’s different now… Brother Xia and I are both being supported by Ju Niu Bi, we have tons of good fighters in our organization! There was a person called Di Gang from 28 Middle who was better at fighting than you, but in the end, he still got the tendons in his hand cut by us!” (TN: Ju Niu Bi, which I’m assuming is the name of their group, translates to something like tremendously cool/awesome. BTW, do you guys prefer if I leave the Chinese pinyin as is for stuff like the group name, or should I translate it to English?)

Who? Who’s Di Gang? How come I have never heard of him in 28 Middle…

Wait! Are you talking about brother Gang? The former boss of 28 Middle, the one who brought me and his two right hands to eat barbecue, but only let me drink cola while they drank beer, that brother Gang!?

You guys… Your people cut the tendons in brother Gang’s hand!?

A surge of anger rushed to my head and took a hold of me. After I regained my consciousness, I was standing between two paralyzed people while holding a steel pipe that had fresh blood trickling down. The night was cold, and the class leader looked at me with her back pressed against the wall as if I was a demon who descended into the realm of mortals.

But she was finally able to squeeze out a couple of words: “Stop fighting… You’ll kill them!”

Eh? They’re still not dead? I never expected them to be this sturdy!

I made a nasty grin and threw down the steel pipes on the muddy ground. The sharp and clear sound of metal hitting the ground made the class leader uneasy.

I was covered in blood from head to toe, reached out with three fingers and grabbed his left eye.

“Fuck! Don’t you call yourself Xia Ye (TN: Blind Gramps)? Today, I’ll turn that into a reality!!”

“—— Speak! Who’s the one who injured bro Gang’s tendons! If you don’t tell me, I’ll pluck your eyes out!!”
