Chapter Nine, Leading with Courage

Ah ! ! !

Subsequently, he saw Zhao Xuanqi's body thrusting forward violently, with the tips of his toes lightly touching the ground, his upper body slightly leaning back, and his entire body spinning rapidly like a top

Light and graceful, it is simply as beautiful as a dance, like a sparrow darting swiftly through a thicket of thorns

Sparrow Dance

As a seasoned street fighter, Chen Ting is deeply aware of this principle

Hiss hiss hiss

Moreover, the opponent is strong and robust, with physical abilities at least 30% higher than Zhao Qi's.

The confrontation between the two lasted less than two seconds. When the battle concluded, the three individuals blinded by the lime had not yet regained their sight; they merely instinctively suppressed their pain and frantically groped for weapons nearby. Zhao Xuanqi, with a few swift movements, easily ended their lives.

This is the true struggle between life and death

In a battle, courage is the key factor that can change the situation and reverse strengths and weaknesses

The force of the embroidery needle cannot inflict fatal injuries, but the instantaneous pain it causes is sufficient to trigger instinctive reflex reactions in a person due to the pain for a short period of time

On the other side, Deng Zhuo was still covering his injured eye, the pain relentless. When he felt a slight relief and reopened his eyes, he was met with Zhao Xuanqi's face, which bore an air of superiority and remained as calm as a still pond.

A few cries of despair echoed, and the three individuals who were either side-on or facing away from Zhao Xuanqi were the most tragic. Due to the suddenness of the incident, in the moment they turned their heads, they were met with the lime powder sprayed by Zhao Xuanqi, instantly blinding them. A searing pain shot through their eyes, causing them to immediately bow their heads and clutch their eyes in agony

Being strong and robust, with a long weapon at hand, as long as I can withstand the first wave of surprise attacks, there is no reason to lose to a young brat who is still wet behind the ears

Zhao Xuanqi immediately understood that the ability to overcome one's own instinctive reactions and to counterattack instantly in the face of an ambush indicates that this person, even if they have not practiced martial arts, is undoubtedly skilled in brawling, possessing extremely rich fighting experience and knowing what to do in various situations.

However, Zhao Xuanqi still has a backup plan

Beast Fist, one of the Four Forms, the Form of Soaring

Very well, let me kill you directly!

Bright red blood gushed forth from Chen Ting's neck like a fountain, and his eyes were filled with an expression of disbelief, as if he could not believe that he had been easily killed by a mere young lad in a single move

Brush

Hiss ! !

The ability to produce a sound and the ability to strike that sound upon the enemy are two entirely different concepts

It was as if a fierce beast had set its sights on its prey, and instead, Chen Ting himself felt a sense of fear arising.

When the face and upper body are suddenly struck by a sharp pain, a person's first reaction is to bend down, cover their face with their hands, or protect their head

In a fleeting moment, life and death are separated!

On the other hand, even if one possesses greater strength, if there are concerns in the heart, one will be disinclined to fight. Whether it is fear or a lack of confidence, when courage diminishes, the power of one's punches will also weaken, and one may not even be able to exert 50% of their martial prowess.

After being pricked in the face by the embroidery needle, he surprisingly did not bend down to cover his face; instead, he forcefully opened his eyes, seized the cleaver from the chair beside him, and suddenly lunged at Zhao Xuanqi with bulging veins on his forehead and a fierce expression.

However, Chen Ting, who is tall and strong, sitting next to Deng Zhuo, is an exception

Moreover, it is not merely a matter of evasion

Do not be deceived by those named disciples within the martial arts school, or even some of the outer disciples, as each one practices with great vigor, their punches cracking the air like firecrackers, displaying extraordinary power

For instance, when a finger suddenly touches something hot, it instinctively withdraws

Although he did not have the opportunity to practice the secret martial arts, he has been physically strong since childhood and has engaged in brawls for many years. He understands very well that when facing an opponent, the most important factors are courage and momentum

After spreading the lime powder, he suddenly swung his right hand towards the two individuals, and a dozen or so embroidery needles, which were pinched between the fingers of m. hetushu. comcom, were struck out by Zhao Xuanqi

In competing in skills and experience with Zhao Xuanqi, Chen Tingxian has clearly chosen the wrong opponent

Its location is almost identical to that of the five guards who died outside the warehouse

To practice martial arts, one must first cultivate courage; to strike, one must first strike with courage

Therefore, upon realizing that the attacker was Zhao Qizhi, although he was puzzled about how he had infiltrated the warehouse and was also astonished by his courage and planning, he nonetheless felt a certain degree of assurance in his heart

Many times, wielding a sharp weapon, when facing those novices, he only needs to display a reckless and fierce demeanor. Even if the opponents number five or six and surround him, they do not dare to act rashly, even though with just a little cooperation, they could easily kill him.

Even if one party is relatively weak, if they are incredibly fierce, disregarding life and death, with blood surging and abandoning everything, they can unleash their full strength of 120 percent

The blade that came slashing diagonally was evaded in a flash by this dance-like movement

As the opponent lunged forward, he suddenly drew the two blades of scissors that were inserted at his waist, fearlessly confronting his adversary

The blade of the scissors was held in reverse, akin to the sharp beak of a bird, and suddenly pierced into Chen Ting's neck

However, what he did not expect was that in the face of his fierce charge, that young lad showed no signs of retreat or fear. Instead, he directly drew the weapons from his waist and charged towards him, his eyes gleaming with a terrifying ferocity

This fellow actually possesses such audacity

However, Zhao Xuanqi is not an ordinary external disciple of a martial arts school

Zhao Qi's body has not undergone special training, and the strength of his hand muscles is insufficient, making his sense of force quite unfamiliar. It is impossible to ensure precision while also considering strength. However, fortunately, there are quite a few embroidery needles; when precision is lacking, quantity can make up for it. Moreover, he does not expect to use this to kill enemies

As for Zhao Xuanqi, the inertia from the rotational movement allowed him to exert his strength and speed to a full 120 percent

Having changed to an ordinary outer door, encountering an opponent as experienced and exceptionally brave as Chen Ting, one immediately feels flustered and intimidated, with fear arising in the heart

In the midst of a turn, the distance between the two individuals has already become mere inches apart

With a heart full of reluctance and questions, his eyes slowly rolled back, ultimately collapsing weakly to the ground.

He is from Guiyang and came to Guangdong to seek a living due to disasters in his hometown. He has previously engaged in violent crimes, and when it comes to fighting, he is exceptionally brave. By chance, he caught the attention of the leader of the Sanshui Gang and was temporarily assigned to work under Deng Zhuo, who usually treats him with considerable respect.

The blade sliced through the air, producing a faint sound of friction

On the other hand, regarding Zhao Xuanqi, both Deng Zhuo and Chen Ting had time to react; they immediately closed their eyes, as the damage caused by the lime powder was not significant.

Chen Ting gritted his teeth, summoning the bravery within his heart, his face contorted with ferocity. He slashed diagonally with a knife towards the direction of Zhao Xuanqi's shoulder and neck. Although he had never learned any knife techniques, this strike was still swift and fierce.

Chen Tingyi's strike missed its target, his strength exhausted, his body unbalanced, making it difficult for him to execute any further actions

This is a tough nut to crack, no wonder he dared to say such words earlier

What greeted their gaze was a large handful of lime powder that Zhao Xuanqi had thrown out with great effort, which had already spread out.

Splash!

A dozen embroidery needles were respectively pierced into the faces, arms, chests, and necks of the two individuals. Deng Zhuo was particularly unfortunate, as one needle struck his right eye, with the tip penetrating the eyelid and piercing the eyeball, causing intense pain that made him scream in agony while covering his eyes

Thus, in the end, even when outnumbered, he is always able to break through the encirclement or achieve ultimate victory

One is the method of practice, and the other is the style of play

Subsequently, Zhao Xuanqi forcefully withdrew the blade of the scissors in his hand

However, if it comes to a real street fight with knives, he would definitely not be his opponent

Those novices, faced with the glaring blade, have not yet engaged in battle, yet their momentum has already diminished by a third. It is commendable enough that they are not overly timid; how could they possibly compare with him?

In this way, it is not surprising that the weak can defeat the strong
