What terrified them wasn’t just Zhang Xiaoshan’s strength, but also his ruthlessness and ferocity.
They were all hardened criminals from the jianghu, each one notoriously brutal.
Many of them had blood on their hands, nearly all of them were reformed through labor.
Yet, witnessing the demonic fury with which Zhang Xiaoshan struck, showing no mercy whatsoever, they were still frightened.
"This guy didn’t come to rescue anyone, he, he’s here for a fight to the death, isn’t he?"
Someone’s teeth chattered, clacking together noisily.
"Kid, you’ve really got guts."
Big Gold Teeth looked at his follower lying on the ground, drenched in blood, and the smile on his face began to fade.
It was obvious that this pretty boy in front of him wasn’t as easy to handle as he had imagined.
It looked like a bloody battle was unavoidable today.
After pondering for a moment, he addressed Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Judging by your skills, you must be from the underworld too. Here’s the deal, I’ll give you some face. Bring me two hundred thousand, and I’ll let your woman go immediately. From then on, we’re friends. If you ever come to Yang City, I’ll have your back. We’ll be friends from now on."
Big Gold Teeth felt that Zhang Xiaoshan was not to be trifled with and wanted to minimize the issue.
To find a way out for himself.
But they had kidnapped Luo Meili, triggering Zhang Xiaoshan’s wrath. How could Zhang Xiaoshan be willing to let things slide so easily?
"I don’t think much of it," he said, looking at Big Gold Teeth coldly.
"Either kneel down and apologize to Meili, or I’ll break one of your arms. Your choice."
"Friend, aren’t your words a bit too harsh? You want one of my arms? Do you think this daddy is made of mud?"
"I was giving you face, but you don’t want it, huh?" Big Gold Teeth was enraged by Zhang Xiaoshan’s attitude.
Already compromising in front of so many underlings was enough of a loss of face, and now Zhang Xiaoshan insulted him without mercy. If he kept tolerating it, these brothers would probably no longer respect him.
"What are all of you standing around for, dumbstruck? Get him!"
Big Gold Teeth’s roar woke up the dazed crowd.
After exchanging glances, they finally mustered the courage to rush at Zhang Xiaoshan.
After all, they had the advantage in numbers.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
But, the outcome was tragic.
Before they could surround Zhang Xiaoshan, he walked up to them himself.
Taking the initiative.
Swinging the steel pipe in his hand, he viciously greeted the bastards.
A single swing was enough to knock one down.
In less than a minute, all the criminals, without exception, lay on the ground covered in blood.
Some had broken ribs, others cracked skulls.
Not one could stand up.
Zhang Xiaoshan was like a war god.
Big Gold Teeth were scared witless.
Having been in the jianghu for so long, this was the first time he’d encountered someone as fierce as Zhang Xiaoshan.
"You, don’t come any closer."
Big Gold Teeth pulled out a switchblade and pressed it against Luo Meili’s neck.
"Put the steel pipe down and put your hands on your head, or I’ll pierce this woman’s throat."
Big Gold Teeth threatened Zhang Xiaoshan, trembling.
"Little Shan, you...don’t worry about me."
"Please don’t listen to him."
Luo Meili called out to Zhang Xiaoshan anxiously.
If Zhang Xiaoshan really did what he said, the ruthless lunatic Big Gold Teeth would definitely not let Zhang Xiaoshan off the hook. The rıghtful source is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Meili, don’t worry. I’m not that stupid, and he doesn’t have the ability to touch a single finger of yours," Zhang Xiaoshan reassured Luo Meili.
Then, his eyes turned cold as he looked toward Big Gold Teeth.
"I’ll give you one last chance, let go of Meili."
Big Gold Teeth, however, sneered.
"Kid, I’m not scared easily. Your skills are decent; I admit I’m no match for you, but your woman is in my hands now. You surely don’t want to watch her die in front of you, do you?"
"I’ll give you three seconds. Put the steel pipe down, squat down, or I’ll kill her."
Big Gold Teeth pressed the blade of the switchblade against Luo Meili’s throat.
Suddenly, a faint whistling sound pierced the air.
Almost at the same moment, Big Gold Teeth let out a yell of agony.
The switchblade he had been holding tightly dropped to the ground in an instant.
He bared his teeth in pain. On closer inspection, there was a silver needle suddenly stuck into the back of his hand.
Without a doubt, this was Zhang Xiaoshan’s doing. Instantly, his fear of Zhang Xiaoshan increased even more.
Ignoring the pain in his hand, he lowered his head to pick up the fallen switchblade.
But just as his hand touched the handle,
A worn cloth shoe stepped on the blade.
That foot, clad in a worn cloth shoe, kicked up, striking Big Gold Teeth beneath the chin.
Big Gold Teeth’s jawbone dislocated and broke, his teeth fell out, and his body flipped over on the spot before crashing to the ground with a thud.
Big Gold Teeth, with a mouth full of blood, tried to shout, but couldn’t utter a single coherent word.
Zhang Xiaoshan stepped hard again on Big Gold Teeth, who was lying prone on the ground, spewing another mouthful of blood, as if all his internal organs were shattered.
"Big, big brother, spare, spare me," he begged pitifully, devoid of any courage to fight back.
"I gave you a chance," Zhang Xiaoshan said, squatting down. He grabbed Big Gold Teeth by the forehead, lifting his face so they were looking directly at each other.
"What... what are you going to do?"
Big Gold Teeth looked into Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes, sensing a strong air of deadly intent.
An unsettling feeling overwhelmed him.
His premonition was correct.
Zhang Xiaoshan took the switchblade and viciously stabbed it into Big Gold Teeth’s right hand.
It entered through the back of the hand, pierced through the palm, and finally stuck into the ground, nailing Big Gold Teeth’s entire right hand there.
Piercing screams echoed throughout the warehouse.
Zhang Xiaoshan was a doctor who saved people, but when angered, he was also a deadly reaper.
