Chapter Eighteen: Blood Boiling with Rage

  "Hiss!"

  The razor-sharp blade tip sliced through the outer layer of the bulletproof vest and struck the steel plate in the middle.

  Ding!

  Lin Xiao felt a sudden tightness in his chest, and then everything went black.

  But he still broke out in a cold sweat; if this knife hadn't been blocked by the steel plate, he might have ended up dying here today.

  At this thought, a hint of anger flashed across Lin Xiao's eyes.

  "You actually want to kill me!"

  Zhou Wen's knife directly stabbed towards his heart, wasn't this wanting his life?

  "You want to kill me? I'll kill you first!"

  Lin Xiao grasped Zhou Wen's hand that was holding the dagger, and his palm suddenly tightened with all his might.

  "Ah!"

  Zhou Wen felt as if his right hand was being clamped by an iron hoop, and he even felt that his bones were about to shatter.

  At this moment, Li Le suddenly punched Lin Xiao's neck with a fierce look in his eyes.

  "Go die!"

  Bang!

  Just as Li Le's fist was about to hit Chen Ming, Chen Ming took a step ahead of him and kicked his abdomen with one foot. The huge leg strength burst out, directly kicking Li Le back before he could hit him.

  Seizing Zhou Wen's left hand, Lin Xiao suddenly pulled it upwards with a loud "crack", and his right palm slapped out, sending Zhou Wen's body tumbling to one side under the immense force. However, Lin Xiao had grabbed Zhou Wen's right hand, and with just a tug, he pulled him back over to his own side, before slamming his right shoulder into Zhou Wen's chest with great force.

  Bang!

  A dull thud sounded, accompanied by Zhou Wen's muffled grunt. In the instant that Zhou Wen's body retreated again, Lin Xiao snatched the dagger from his hand and slapped him hard on the face with his right palm.

  Bang! Crack!

  A clear and crisp cracking sound was heard right next to his ear, but Lin Xiao didn't have time to check on Zhou Wen's condition as Li Le, who had been knocked back earlier, charged forward again.

  "Cheers!"

  Li Le shouted loudly, dodging Lin Xiao's punch that came straight at him. His body spun half a turn, his right foot whipping out in a fierce kick accompanied by a loud whooshing sound, striking towards the right side of Lin Xiao's face.

  Bang!

  At the critical moment, Lin Xiao raised his right hand to block Li Le's kick, but at this time, Li Le's right fist suddenly shot out a straight punch and heavily hit Lin Xiao's chest.

  "Hmmph!"

  A low hum, Lin Xiao's right foot retreated half a step back, looking at Li Le, his entire right hand was trembling, the back of his hand was bright red.

  "Steel plate!"

  Lin Xiao suddenly remembered the steel plate embedded in his bulletproof vest that had just saved his life. Apparently, Li Le didn't know this, so he punched Lin Xiao's bulletproof vest with all his might. Lin Xiao himself was fine, but Li Le injured his own right hand and wouldn't be able to use it at full strength for a while.

  "What are you wearing?" Li Le glared at Chen Ming with a ferocious gaze, his right hand red and swollen, looking like he was grinding his teeth.

  Will Lin Xiao tell him that he wore a bulletproof vest?

  "This is called Jin Zhong Zhao, you ignorant fool!" Lin Xiao patted his chest and looked at Li Le with disdain.

  "Golden Bell Shield!" Li Le was secretly shocked, he suddenly thought back to Zhou Wen's previous slash, it seemed that the slash had already stabbed his opponent, but his opponent didn't seem to be affected at all. Was there really a Golden Bell Shield skill in this world?

  Li Le was stunned by his own words, and Lin Xiao naturally wouldn't let go of such a great opportunity. He took a swift step forward and delivered a powerful 180-degree spinning kick to Li Le's head with all his might.

  But he still underestimated Li Le, or rather, overestimated his own mediocre skills. All he saw was Li Le ducking down slightly, easily dodging Lin Xiao's move, and then a jumping uppercut landed squarely on Lin Xiao's chin.

  Bang!

  Although Li Le's physical qualities were not as good as Lin Xiao's, his fighting skills far surpassed Lin Xiao's. Lin Xiao felt a numbness in his chin and suddenly lost his balance, stumbling backward several steps before sitting down on the ground with a thud.

  "Cheers!"

  Li Le's mouth was open wide as he shouted loudly, his right leg lifted high and then came down in a powerful axe kick, aiming straight for the crotch of Lin Xiao.

  "Whoa!"

  Lin Xiao was so frightened that he hastily used both hands to support himself on the ground, and as his whole body moved backward, he directly rolled over and quickly stood up.

  His robust physical quality made him, even if he was hit by Li Le's punch, only had a slightly sore jaw and numb teeth, but nothing serious.

  Bang!

  Li Le's foot came down heavily on the cement floor, with tremendous force, causing his right leg to go numb.

  At this moment, Lin Xiao directly rushed up and threw a right hook at Lee's left cheek. Although it was blocked by the opponent, the huge force still made Lee's entire left arm slightly numb. At the same time, Lin Xiao also threw a left hook, hitting Lee's obviously weak right hand, which then smashed into his face.

  Bang!

  One kick kicked out, directly hitting Li Le's abdomen, the huge force made Li Le's lower body instantly lose its balance, and he fell to the ground.

  "Cheers!"

  Lin Xiao let out a loud shout of anger and kicked his right leg out in an instant, heavily kicking Li Le's shoulder.

  Crack!

  A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Li Le immediately cried out in pain as he rolled around on the ground several times.

  Lin Xiao turned his head, his eyes fiercely staring at the two little rascals who were holding onto each other, and that gaze scared them so much that they let out a cry of surprise before directly sitting down on the ground with a thud.

  Although Lin Xiao's combat skills were not as good as Li Le, his fighting strength was evident. In every aspect, Lin Xiao's physical quality far surpassed Li Le. An opponent's punch could only make Lin Xiao feel a slight pain, but Lin Xiao's punch was enough to make Li Le lose some of his fighting strength. At the beginning, Li Le might have had the upper hand, but as soon as he accidentally got hit by Lin Xiao a few times, he basically lost all ability to resist.

  Looking at the four people who had fallen to the ground, Lin Xiao lowered his head and looked at his own hands, feeling a thrill of satisfaction in his heart.

  "Ah... big brother!"

  Suddenly, a weak voice came from behind, Lin Xiao turned his head and saw that it was Li Ran looking at him.

  "Alright, you two are safe now." Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then walked forward to pick up the dagger he had dropped on the ground earlier. He went over to help Li Ran cut off the ropes binding her, and then he walked over to Zhang Tao's side and helped him cut off his ropes as well.

  "Thank you!" Zhang Tao immediately recovered and thanked Lin Xiao, then quickly ran to Li Ran's side, asking with concern.

  Lin Xiao took a look and didn't think he had anything to do with it, anyway. He hadn't thought of letting the two repay him, let alone being afraid that if he stayed any longer, they would recognize him. Seeing the two still lingering there, he opened his mouth to remind them: "You two leave first, I'll take care of the aftermath."

  Zhang Tao had just helped Li Ran up from the ground and also nodded hastily after hearing Lin Xiao's words.

  "Thanks, big brother! We'll leave first then!" Zhang Tao couldn't wait to get out of there as soon as possible. Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, he quickly pulled Li Ran and ran towards the outside, afraid that if they stayed any longer, something else would happen.

  As they were about to leave, Li Ran kept staring at Lin Xiao, making Lin Xiao's scalp feel a bit numb. Fortunately, the two of them soon left the room and judging from the sound of their footsteps, they had apparently run downstairs.
