Chapter 1920 - 2121: Don't Worry, I'm Here!
The man who wanted to slap Zhang Danlin's face was furious when he suddenly felt an outside force stop his hand in mid-air. But when he turned around and saw Hao Jian, he put on a mocking smile.At this moment, the three of them stared angrily at Hao Jian, looking fiercely threatening. They hadn't expected anyone to appear in this area late at night, let alone someone reckless enough to ruin their plans. It was practically a death wish.
He was initially a bit afraid when his hand was grabbed, but turning back to see just a young kid—a mere boy, and alone—while they were three fully-grown men, vastly outnumbering and overpowering him.
Then, he inwardly laughed. There truly were people who didn't fear death these days. Seeing the trio enjoying themselves just about to act, yet this kid dared to disrupt them; wasn't this just asking to be killed? Normally, they might scare him away, but filled with resentment now, they wanted this young inexperienced boy to see their prowess.
"Kid, you want to play the hero saving the damsel in distress? Are you here for a death wish?" Another man glared at Hao Jian, fiercely speaking.
"Heh..." Another man let out a mocking laugh.
In their eyes, Hao Jian was just an inexperienced boy, especially since he was alone. They believed they could easily take him down.
But, at this time, Hao Jian showed no expression at all. He simply glanced past the three men, his gaze landing on Zhang Danlin, full of apology. If he had arrived a bit sooner, this wouldn't have happened; she would have been safe.
Watching her fearful expression, with tears running down her face, filled him with sorrow.
"Don't worry, I'm here," Hao Jian said.
Actually, as soon as Hao Jian arrived, Zhang Danlin's fear began to dissipate. She just felt deeply wronged, and so tears continued to fall. Her tears now were more because she was touched by Hao Jian.
She thought she couldn't escape this situation, but seeing Hao Jian appear at that moment moved her. With Hao Jian there, her heart was somewhat at ease.
However, upon hearing Hao Jian's words, the trio let out a cold laugh.
"Heh... You want to show off, kid? Well, let us show you the consequences of doing that." A man sneered.
From start to finish, Hao Jian's gaze was fixed on Zhang Danlin, completely ignoring the three men. He was so furious that if he looked at them, they might have ended up on the ground in seconds.
Seeing Hao Jian standing there fearlessly, the three men's eyes met. Initially, two wanted to scare him off and continue with their plan, but realizing they couldn't move forward without solving this problem, they decided to teach Hao Jian a lesson.
Just a young kid, yet daring enough to spoil their plans—wasn't this simply a suicidal act?
They exchanged glances, instantly surrounding Hao Jian, glaring at him with intentions to deal with him.
Hao Jian removed his jacket, leaving just a T-shirt on, then tossed the jacket to Zhang Danlin. She took it, seeing herself already somewhat exposed, quickly putting the jacket on.
Meanwhile, the three men exchanged glances, seemingly mocking Hao Jian, yet also deciding to punish him severely. Suddenly, they each pulled out a dagger from their pants pockets. Brandishing the blades, their faces turned vicious as they unsheathed the sharp weapons.
Zhang Danlin hadn't seen Hao Jian's true capabilities, but knowing he was skilled from a few displays at school, which surprised her and many others. Yet now seeing the three men brandish daggers, her emotions changed instantly, turning worried and fearful.
Though Hao Jian was merely a student, the opponents were three grown men, gangsters living off deceit and theft—surely had means far superior to Hao Jian. Most importantly, they now held daggers, which could cause fatalities.
Facing just Hao Jian against three men with weapons, her expression showed concern for him. Their attention not on her, she sneakily took out her phone, preparing to call the police.
"Hehe! Kid, go to hell."
The three said, holding daggers, and then slowly approached Hao Jian, all showing a fierce and malicious demeanor. It's just a kid, seems to be a student, they're probably scaring him by brandishing their daggers, their faces filled with malice.
However, Hao Jian showed no expression, though he was exceedingly angry at the moment, he simply didn't express it. His anger was never seen on his face.
Suddenly, the three of them charged at Hao Jian with daggers, Zhang Danlin instantly showed a worried expression, wanting to warn Hao Jian to be careful. However, before she could speak, her expression changed dramatically.
Hao Jian just stood there expressionless, maybe his disregard for them infuriated them, being ignored like this would naturally make anyone angry. The three rushed up to Hao Jian, the one in front perhaps too enraged, stabbed the dagger toward Hao Jian's heart.
But, the dagger stopped suddenly about ten centimeters before touching Hao Jian's body. That man's face instantly turned ugly, exerting all his strength but couldn't advance even half a step, instinctively looking down, seeing his hand being held by Hao Jian, anger beyond words.
His eyes widened in angry stare at Hao Jian, just then another person with a dagger closed in on Hao Jian, but Hao Jian suddenly side-kicked, a "bang" was heard, the person was thrown onto the ground by Hao Jian's fierce kick. Seeing this, the other person already reached Hao Jian's back, suddenly raised the dagger, and stabbed toward Hao Jian's back.
If pierced, Hao Jian would instantly lose the ability to move. The front side has flesh and fat as shield, but the back only has a layer of skin, once the dagger is in it reaches the marrow. If the bone marrow is hurt, it would be excruciating.
Hurting the flesh is just surface injury, but bone marrow isn't, it's essential for movement, this is why in martial arts novels, no matter how skilled the hero is, if his scapula is locked, he loses the ability to move, rendering his martial arts void.
If Hao Jian's bone marrow is hurt, he certainly would lose the ability to fight back, becoming a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The person stabbing showed a ferocious face, holding nothing back.
Yet, the next moment, as the dagger had not yet stabbed down, his chest suddenly felt sharp pain, he was kicked by external force and flew out. At the same time, he felt the dagger slip from his hand, followed by intense pain on his face.
He instinctively touched his face, suddenly finding it had been slashed, followed by intense pain, he covered his face and screamed loudly in pain, then he fell heavily to the ground, rolling while covering his face, his dagger fell beside him.
But, suffering such pain at the moment left him with no mind to grab the dagger to deal with Hao Jian, the slash on his face hurt him excruciatingly.
The other person was grabbed by Hao Jian, unable to move forward or retreat, seeing the fate of the other two, he suddenly feared.
The person kicked by Hao Jian stood up with the dagger and charged toward Hao Jian.
This guy spoiled their plan, he must teach him a lesson. If no heavy hand is shown, he might really think they're paper tigers.
Instantly, a dagger came stabbing forward.
Hao Jian didn't hesitate, glanced over, the person sped up initially but upon meeting Hao Jian's gaze he suddenly stopped, halted in place, dared not move forward.
At the moment of seeing the gaze, he felt fear, a nameless fear, indescribable, he was stunned.
Then, while he was dazed, Hao Jian punched him in the face, his nose immediately bled two bright red streaks.
"Bam!" he fell to the ground.
The nosebleed kept flowing.
