Chapter 2: The Death of the Body
Some people say that her smile was worth five hundred years of her past life.
However, Yi Chi Zhen did not know if he was unwilling to spend those five hundred years in his past life, and instead got a smooth sailing life in this life.
To say that during his university days, Yi Chi Ke was not as weathered as he is now, and in terms of appearance, he could still be considered quite handsome, but for some reason, he just didn't have a way with women.
Yi Chi had also gone to have his fortune told before. He only remembered that the fortune teller said he was born with a fate of being lonely and without support, destined to be alone and helpless for life.
He didn't believe it at all, and at the time he even beat up the fortune teller, then took the few hundred yuan from his pocket and spent it lavishly for several days.
Although Yi Chi was an orphan, his heart wasn't dark, but rather had some sunshine. Unfortunately, after being baptized by this tragic society, he has become thoroughly dark today.
"If I don't die this time, I must take revenge on that damned Tan family." Yi Chi thought resentfully.
......
Yi Chi's home is not far from the bar, usually walking takes only about ten minutes, but every time he goes home, he has to pass through several dark alleys.
"Drip... drip... drip."
The sound of water droplets falling from several faucets on both sides of the wall is so loud in this quiet alley.
"It's strange, why is it so quiet today?" Yi Chi looked around in confusion. At this time, the residents who lived nearby were usually at home, either watching TV or arguing, but today was exceptionally quiet.
"Drip... drip... drip."
A strange atmosphere enveloped this small space.
Yi Chi's footsteps also came to a halt, he had already sensed that everything was too abnormal.
"Who's there? Are you from the Tan family? Come out!" Yi Chi shouted towards the empty alley, he couldn't take this dead silence anymore.
"Haha, didn't expect this kid to be quite alert." A voice sounded from behind Yi Chi.
"What's the big deal, with Tiger Brother here, plus us two, are we afraid of this ordinary person? I can take care of him with just one little finger." At the same time, another voice also responded to the previous voice, it was clear that these two voices were directed at Yi Chi, and there was someone called "Tiger Brother" who was obviously higher in status than these two people, relatively speaking, his methods must be even more ruthless.
Turning around, he drew out the dagger he had just bought, and Yi Chi almost completed this series of actions in an instant.
In front of the dark alley, two figures slowly emerged from both sides. The tall figure brought a sense of oppression that made Yi Chi's hand grip the dagger even tighter. He knew he might be sleeping here tonight, but he wasn't one to accept his fate quietly. Even in death, he would take down a few with him.
"Kid, I advise you to put down that toy of yours and let your dog master take care of you with one slash. It'll save you from more suffering later." The second person who spoke looked at Yi Chi with disdain.
Yi Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the opponent fiercely, using his gaze to convey his determination to fight to the death.
On the other side, the man looked at Yi Chi with such ignorance of courtesy, and his eyes flashed with a hint of malice.
"Hmph, you still want to resist? That's not surprising, given your dog-like nature." The man who called himself Dog Master said as he drew out a cleaver hidden at his waist. The moonlight shone on the blade, and the flashing light pierced directly into Yi Chi's eyes.
Sweat dripped into Yi Chi's eyes, but he didn't dare wipe it away with his hand. He endured the stinging pain and instead moved forward, knowing that if he retreated, there would be no way out.
"Ah..."
Yi Chi took a big step forward, rushing directly to the man's face. His right hand chopped down with a dagger, aiming straight for the man's head. If this hit its mark, it would be a fatal blow, and clearly, Yi Chi had also made up his mind to kill.
"Damn it, you're looking for death." The man took a look at Yi Chi's ferocity and didn't tense up. He retreated a step, his body sideways to dodge Yi Chi's downward chop.
No sorrow, but a left-handed slash, directly cut, and a big mouth appeared on Yiqi's abdomen, with blood flowing out.
Clutching his aching abdomen, Yi Chi turned around and stabbed straight ahead. Knowing he would surely die, why bother about the wound?
"Hmph..."
The dagger directly stabbed into the man's left shoulder, and Yi Chi saw that he had hit his target, so he quickly pressed down on the dagger.
"Ah..."
The man let out a pained howl as he was slashed open from his left shoulder to his buttocks by Yi Chi, and a massive amount of blood gushed out.
"Wild dog!" Another man saw that he was injured and didn't just watch the fun, hurriedly ran over to support the man called Wild Dog.
"Bastard, I'm going to slaughter him, I'm going to flay him alive, stupid bear, go, kill him, kill him for me......" The wild dog howled mournfully, its eyes filled with bloodshot, staring straight at Yi Chi who was covering his abdomen and lying on the ground.
"Damn it, wild dog, you hold on for me, I'll go settle him right now." After finishing speaking, he drew out his own paired knife, which was a horse-slaying knife, the entire knife being one meter long, really don't know how this guy called Dumb Bear hid it.
He strode towards Yi Chi with large steps, waving his horse-slaying knife a few times in his hand.
"Kid, I didn't think you had any skills, but you actually managed to hurt the wild dog. However, in the end, you're still going to die." The stupid bear said with a ferocious expression as he stepped on Yi Chi.
"Haha, come on, I've long known that my life won't last much longer. That damned Tan family." Yi Chi looked calmly at the big man in front of him, not taking his impending death seriously.
"Shoo."
He spat out a mouthful of saliva, the clumsy bear raised his horse-killing knife, making a gesture to chop towards Yi Chi. Just at this moment, Yi Chi drew out his right hand from behind his back, holding that dagger, thrusting upwards with an unstoppable force.
"Hmph... Hmph."
The clumsy bear's saber chopped down on Yi Chi's left shoulder, directly cutting off his left arm. Meanwhile, Yi Chi's dagger also stabbed into the clumsy bear's ** during his rise, directly hitting his **.
"Ah... Ah... Ah."
The stupid bear let out a fierce roar, he was careless, he thought that Yi Chi, who had no power to resist, would actually make a desperate last-ditch effort and even managed to stab him in the **.
That shrill cry was almost enough to scare off a pack of wolves.
The stray dog lying not far away was sweating profusely and covered its eyes tightly the next moment.
Yi Chi gazed at his own left arm being severed, knowing he had no way to escape, so he didn't feel any pain. His right hand grasped the dagger tightly and with a swift motion, drew a perfect arc, leaving a beautiful yet tragic blood mark on the giant bear's throat.
"Wooo... Wooo... Wooo."
The clumsy bear almost used all his strength, tightly covering his neck, but still couldn't stop the blood gushing out.
"Bump."
The clumsy bear fell straight down with its eyes wide open, and even in death it still used one hand to cover ***, showing how extremely uncomfortable it was in death.
"Cough...cough."
Propping himself up against the wall with his only right hand, Yi Chi Meng coughed out a big mouthful of fresh blood.
"Are we going to die? It seems like we can't escape after all." His gaze shifted, and he saw that the wild dog on the ground had also stopped breathing. Yi Chi felt a little more at ease, at least he had taken down two of them.
"This feeling? It's so light and beautiful! I wonder if anyone will remember me after I die? Hehe, probably not!" Yi Chi smiled wistfully, as if he saw the god of death beckoning him. In the distance, Meng Po was already holding a small bowl in her hand. Various illusions appeared before Yi Chi, who realized that his thoughts were indeed chaotic just before dying.
"Oh! He's actually dead? That's impressive, as an ordinary person, he's already done a great job." A voice suddenly appeared beside Yi Chi's ear, and his increasingly blurred consciousness instantly cleared.
He turned his head with difficulty towards where the sound came from.
What kind of person is he?
Ordinary? Mediocre? Refined?
It's easy to think of adjectives to describe the person in front of him, but would an ordinary person say something like that?
"Who... are you?" Yi Chi asked with difficulty, and as soon as he spoke, fresh blood spurted out of his mouth, which couldn't be stopped.
He seemed to appreciate it and took a glance at Yi Chi. The ordinary-looking man raised his glasses, smiled and looked at Yi Chi, saying: "Me? You can call me Red Tiger."
After finishing speaking, he smiled friendly and had an innocent look on his face.
"Red... tiger? Are you... that... tiger... brother?" Yi Chi said with a dazed expression, as if trying to stand up straighter. Yi Chi used his only right hand to support himself against the wall, but his already weak right hand failed to fulfill his intention, and his body suddenly collapsed to the ground without anything to lean on.
"Bump."
"Hmm..."
Yi Chi almost fainted, fell to the ground with his body sideways, his left shoulder scraping against the wall as he fell. The heart-wrenching pain made Yi Chi almost bite through his gums.
"Haha, are you out of strength? Don't struggle anymore, you're going to die soon, and I won't have to lift a hand." Chi Hu looked at Yi Chi who tried to stand up but fell back onto the ground.
Rubbing his belly, Chi You seemed a bit hungry and gave Yi Chi a final glance: "I'm leaving, whether you live or die is up to your fate, bye."
Yi Chi watched the figure disappear into the distance, he really couldn't guess what kind of person this was, but now he didn't have the energy to think about it either, because he was about to die. A dying man, how could he possibly care about guessing what a stranger's personality was like?
The distant Red Tiger seemed to have thought of something, and without turning around, he said with his back to Yi Chi Kou: "Oh, right, the Tan family no longer exists. Just before this, we had already annihilated the Tan family. You can die in peace."
After finishing speaking, he smiled lightly and slowly walked away, rubbing his belly.
"...thank you...thank you..." Yi Chi vaguely heard the news of the Tan family's downfall, and before his death, he thanked the distant figure.
