The danger at this moment escalated to a new height.
There was no time to delay!
Qin Yang was even mentally prepared to suffer serious injuries.
Just then, a gust of wind sounded in his ears, and a figure beside him, with the speed of a leopard, lunged straight at Ding Xu's face with a fierce fist wind.
At this moment, Ding Xu could continue his attack on Qin Yang and heavily injure him, but the result would be that he himself would also be struck by the attacking figure, ending in a mutual destruction.
In the blink of an eye, Ding Xu chose to retreat. His entire face was as dark as water, and he coldly stared at Zheng Chengdao, who had suddenly intervened, and cursed, "Despicable!!"
"I am merely returning your own medicine to you. Have you forgotten that you just ambushed someone from behind?"
Zheng Chengdao sneered, retorting sharply.
When Ding Xu had first appeared, he had directly attacked Qin Yang from behind with a heavy whip kick.
"Hmph, do you think you can be my opponent just by stepping forward?"
Ding Xu changed the subject, his face filled with arrogance.
He didn't believe that in such a small county town, anyone would be his opponent. Having Qin Yang's skill level was already enough to surprise him, and this so-called 'Brother Dao' was at most his equal.
Such strength was indeed formidable to ordinary people, but against a professional like him, he was confident he could take on both of them and cripple them.
This was the confidence of a professional. Once their battle-honed killing techniques were unleashed, these 'greenhouse flowers' living in reality were no match at all.
"How will we know if we don't try?"
Facing Ding Xu's arrogant stance, Zheng Chengdao lowered his eyelids. His weathered face remained impassive, like a deep pool.
"Fine, then I'll cripple you, this obstacle, first, and then I'll go after him!"
Ding Xu sneered, stomped on the ground with his foot, and transformed into an afterimage, charging towards Zheng Chengdao.
A sharp glint flashed in Zheng Chengdao's deep eyes as he made the same move.
The two instantly locked in combat. They exchanged blows back and forth, their movements incredibly fast and dazzling, almost too quick for the eyes to follow.
The surrounding people widened their eyes, their expressions filled with shock.
Everyone had witnessed Ding Xu's strength earlier, especially the people on Han Shifei's side, who were extremely excited.
They had thought they had it in the bag today. With a master like Ding Xu, they would pierce through the arrogant Qin Chuan faction and show everyone whose territory Yongnan County truly was.
Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, such a twist occurred. This man named Brother Dao could actually fight Ding Xu to a standstill. It was truly astonishing.
"Who exactly are you?"
At this moment, Ding Xu, who had exchanged over twenty blows with Zheng Chengdao, suddenly retreated rapidly. The arrogance on his face was gone, replaced by a look of solemnity.
Only he knew better how formidable the weathered man before him was.
The opponent was also proficient in various battlefield killing techniques, some even more practiced and refined than his own.
Every time he was about to make a move, the opponent seemed to have foreseen it, preemptively preparing his attacks or defenses.
It was shocking to find such a master in such a rundown small county town.
"Don't you already see? I'm just a subordinate of our boss. My boss is in danger now, so naturally, I have to help him share the pressure."
Facing Ding Xu's interrogation, Zheng Chengdao's voice remained as calm as ever, as if from a still lake.
Ding Xu's expression flickered. Suddenly, he drew a sharp short knife from his back and snorted, "Then try my blade skills again!"
With that, he charged forward once more, his dagger like a venomous snake's tongue, each move aimed at a vital spot.
Zheng Chengdao retreated continuously, dodging the opponent's sharp attacks.
"Brother Dao, take this blade!!"
From behind, someone suddenly threw a large saber.
Zheng Chengdao extended his arm and caught it. The moment he gripped the saber, his entire demeanor underwent a drastic change.
Ding Xu, who had been on the offensive, felt this aura and his expression changed slightly.
At this moment, Zheng Chengdao began to counterattack!
There were no complex, flashy moves. He simply executed a simple vertical slash. The sharp blade, illuminated by the lights, became a blur, as if many blades were dancing simultaneously.
Ding Xu, startled, quickly retreated, unwilling to meet the edge head-on.
An inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous.
The large saber held a significant advantage in length. Ding Xu was forced to retreat repeatedly, and the situation seemed to have reversed.
Just as Ding Xu had been so imposing with his dagger, he was now as disheveled.
*Screech!!*
Suddenly, the sound of tearing fabric rang out. The onlookers were horrified as they saw a long gash torn across Ding Xu's chest. Blood spurted out, dyeing his clothes red.
This turn of events drew gasps from many.
This was the first time blood had been drawn in their fight, and it was Ding Xu who was wounded.
"Big Brother!!"
Two men in black nearby cried out upon seeing Ding Xu injured and were about to rush forward to help. Suddenly, a wall of flesh appeared before them – Qin Yang's cold, expressionless face.
The three immediately engaged in combat, two against one.
The situation completely erupted, making everyone restless, with the potential for a large-scale brawl at any moment.
"If you don't want to lose an arm or a leg, or end up in jail, then all of you, stand right where you are and don't move!"
A roar suddenly erupted from the ground, drawing the attention of both agitated factions.
Under countless gazes, a young man in casual wear, with a face as stern as a mountain, strode forward. His body, straight as a spear, exuded a fearsome aura.
"Boss!!"
"The boss is here!!"
The Qin Chuan side erupted in excited shouts as they saw the stern young man appear.
On Han Shifei's side, however, their faces showed fear and panic. A person's reputation preceded them. Qin Chuan was currently at the height of his power, known throughout Yongnan County.
He had wealth and manpower!
In just one year, he had gone from penniless to a millionaire, a truly legendary rise.
The appearance of such a figure brought immense psychological and mental pressure.
Han Shifei's men had never expected Qin Chuan to suddenly appear here, as if descending from the heavens.
Under the awe, apprehension, and hatred of countless eyes, Qin Chuan strode forward. Behind him, over thirty brothers, armed with weapons, followed closely, their expressions excited.
"Boss!"
Yao Dong and Bai Xiaoguang, covered in injuries, hung their heads in shame upon seeing Qin Chuan appear, feeling too embarrassed to face him.
This time, they had confidently guaranteed they would complete the mission, only for all their men to be captured, and they themselves to become prisoners.
Qin Chuan stood before them, casually glanced up at the dark second floor of the factory, and then reached out to untie their ropes. During the entire process, no one dared to stop him.
"As long as you're alright!!"
After untying them, Qin Chuan smiled and helped wipe the dirt from their faces. This simple gesture brought tears to the eyes of Yao Dong and Bai Xiaoguang.
"Ah!!!"
A scream from the side drew everyone's attention.
Many had already guessed that the outcome of the fight was about to be decided...
