As Dao Ba spoke, he had already reached Du Fei’s opposite.
Suddenly, the fellow exerted a little force with his foot, leaped into the air, and kicked towards Du Fei.
Dao Ba’s legwork was strong; he had once tested his full strength with a kick, directly snapping a bamboo as thick as an arm.
If Du Fei were to be hit by this kick, he would lose several ribs even if he didn't die.
Just as Dao Ba’s leg was about to reach Du Fei, Du Fei shifted his body slightly, narrowly dodging it.
Missing with one kick, Dao Ba followed up with fists and feet. His offense was like a storm, one move after another, each one both fast and fierce.
But a person’s stamina is limited. After continuous attacks, Dao Ba’s stamina quickly became less than it was at the start.
"Damn it, kid, are you only good at dodging? Are you a mouse?"
Dao Ba felt as if Du Fei were a leaf, impossible to hit no matter how he struck. He stopped, pointed at Du Fei, and cursed.
Du Fei sneered, "You made the first move just now, so it’s my turn now."
As his voice fell, Du Fei stomped his right foot hard on the ground. Immediately, his right arm drew back like a drawn bow. When he threw his fist, everyone present felt as if a gale had suddenly swept through their surroundings.
If outsiders merely felt that Du Fei's punch stirred up a whirlwind, then Dao Ba, as the target, felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, his eyes full of dread.
In a flash, Du Fei’s fist arrived before Dao Ba.
Seeing that he couldn’t dodge, Dao Ba could only gather his strength in his arms, crossing them in front of his chest.
Crack!
Crack!
Two consecutive sounds of bones breaking rang out.
Before Dao Ba could even feel the pain, he was sent flying.
When he fell to the ground, he had already completely lost consciousness.
What was said to be long had actually happened very quickly, taking less than half a minute in total.
The onlookers only saw Du Fei throw a punch, and Dao Ba raise his arms to block.
But in the next second, Dao Ba flew out like a broken kite. When he landed, his arms hung limply, his chest was deeply caved in, and he was barely breathing.
"Brother Dao Ba!"
"Brother Dao Ba!"
Dao Ba's two subordinates rushed to his side, trying to wake him.
However, Du Fei, who had defeated him, was already walking towards Zhao Hu.
"This, this is impossible! Even Dao Ba is no match for you?"
Before coming, Zhao Hu had imagined many possibilities, but he never expected that Dao Ba, whom he had paid a hefty sum to hire, couldn’t even withstand a single move from Du Fei.
Seeing Dao Ba lying unconscious not far from him, Zhao Hu felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
But the facts were before him, and he had no choice but to believe them.
"Zhao Hu, I gave you a chance to live, but you chose to court death. Fine, I’ll grant your wish!"
Du Fei walked up to Zhao Hu. His subordinates, however, were all trembling, none daring to step forward.
It was no joke. Brother Dao Ba, who was so formidable, was knocked down by Du Fei with a single punch. If they stepped forward, wouldn't they be seeking their own demise?
"Du Fei, killing people means going to jail. You've just been released, and you still have family. Don't do anything foolish!"
Zhao Hu looked at Du Fei in front of him, as if facing a god of death, and fear began to creep in.
Du Fei smiled, clapped Zhao Hu on the shoulder twice, and then walked away.
Just like that?
Du Fei let him off?
Zhao Hu was stunned. Du Fei's gaze had clearly been filled with killing intent just now, so why did he let him go?
But Zhao Hu couldn't care less now. Seizing the opportunity while Du Fei turned to leave, he quickly signaled his subordinates to carry him away.
As for that fellow Dao Ba, damn it, he took his money but couldn't get the job done. He deserved to die even if he was already dead.
If he truly died, Zhao Hu decided to call the police for him and have Du Fei sent back to prison.
This would avenge him and save the remaining payment for Dao Ba.
"Brother, Mom fainted. Will she be alright?"
As soon as Du Fei untied Du Yunyun’s ropes, she pounced on Wu Chunmei, her face full of anxiety.
Du Fei said, "It’s okay. I’m here, don't worry."
Next, Du Fei untied Wu Chunmei’s ropes and removed the tape from her mouth, then carried her to a relatively flat spot, letting Wu Chunmei lie flat.
Du Fei held Wu Chunmei’s hand, and his internal true qi flowed continuously into her body.
Before long, Wu Chunmei opened her eyes.
"Mom, you're finally awake!"
Du Yunyun cried out joyfully.
Du Fei then picked up his mother on his back and, holding his sister’s hand, headed down the mountain.
In fact, when facing Zhao Hu just now, Du Fei had seriously considered killing the guy on the spot.
It was because he was the one who had put his mother and sister in danger.
But immediately, Du Fei remembered that he wasn’t alone; he still had his mother and sister. So, at the last moment, he changed his mind.
To outsiders, Du Fei had merely patted Zhao Hu’s shoulders twice.
However, while patting his shoulders, Du Fei had already channeled his true qi into Zhao Hu’s body using a special method.
Du Fei had inherited his ancestors' legacy, and his true qi could be used to save lives as well as to kill.
And it was a kind of killing that was invisible.
Just like the true qi Du Fei had infused into Zhao Hu’s body, Zhao Hu felt nothing at first. But after a few days, Zhao Hu would suffer from severe pain all over his body, with no identifiable cause. Then, as time went by, the blood vessels in Zhao Hu’s body would burst one by one, until finally, he would bleed from all seven orifices and die.
By then, even if Zhao Hu died, no one would connect his death to Du Fei.
As for Dao Ba, although he wasn't dead, even if he survived, he would be a cripple, destined to spend the rest of his sinful life bedridden.
"Du Dabao? What are you doing here?"
When Du Fei carried his mother back home, he found Du Dabao standing at his doorstep.
Seeing Du Fei, and Wu Chunmei and Du Yunyun beside him, Du Dabao breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew, thank goodness your family is alright. Du Fei, I heard that Zhao Hu has invited a very powerful expert from out of town to deal with you. I think you should take your mother and sister and leave Dujia Village to lie low for a while."
Du Yunyun and Wu Chunmei looked at Du Fei. Du Fei told them to go back first, and they nodded.
"Du Dabao, honestly, I really didn't expect you to come here to warn me today. Since that's the case, I won't hide anything from you. Just now..."
Then, Du Fei explained that Zhao Hu had brought people to kidnap his mother and sister, threatening him not to call the police and to go to the mountain alone, and that Zhao Hu and his hired expert had been dealt with by him.
Of course, Du Fei naturally didn't mention the hidden move he had played on Zhao Hu.
"Fortunately, you're alright. Actually, this is all my fault. If your family had been harmed, I would be solely responsible."
Du Dabao listened with bated breath. Fortunately, Du Fei’s family was safe, and he was relieved.
Afterward, he told Du Fei that since their family was safe, he would take his leave.
Watching Du Dabao's retreating figure, Du Fei felt that he had truly turned over a new leaf this time.
