“Haha. Finally, the rat is coming out of his hiding place.” Chao Dong was pleased when Xiao Tian came out of his hiding place because with this, it would be easier for him to teach Xiao Tian a lesson.
Xiao Tian didn’t answer and only swept his gaze to his surroundings.
‘There are four windows and two doors.’
Because it would be hard to fight while protecting Liu Ning, Xiao Tian looked for escape routes.
‘But it will be difficult to escape through the window because all the windows are too high for Ning’er.’
After thinking for several seconds, Xiao Tian knew that the only route to escape was to use the door behind him because the other door was behind Chao Ximeng and the others.
“Tian’er, run! Don’t mind me.” Liu Ning had a complicated expression.
She was delighted that Xiao Tian had chosen to come out of his hiding place for her sake. But she was afraid at the same time because she thought Xiao Tian would not be able to beat those ten people.
“Brother, what are you waiting for?” Chao Ximeng uttered, “The mouse has come out of his hiding place. It’s your turn to teach him a lesson.”
“You are right, big brother.” After saying that, Chao Dong looked at the thugs, who were paid for by his brother. “Beat him to death!”
Two of the eight thugs dashed towards Xiao Tian. Because they wanted to attack Xiao Tian from both sides, they ran towards Xiao Tian’s right and left.
“Tian’er!” Liu Ning’s face turned worried when two thugs wanted to attack Xiao Tian.
“Die!” both of the thugs roared.
The two of them immediately threw their kicks towards Xiao Tian. One of them tried to kick Xiao Tian’s head from the right side, while the other wanted to kick Xiao Tian’s mid-torso from the left side.
Because Xiao Tian was skilled in martial arts and used to fight more than one person, he was able to block their attacks easily.
Xiao Tian placed his right hand in front of his face to block the kick aimed at his head while his left hand caught the kick directed at his mid-torso.
Both of the thugs were shocked when Xiao Tian could block their kicks. Their attacks were fast and deadly, so they thought Xiao Tian would not be able to block or avoid it.
After blocking their attacks, Xiao Tian did a counter-attack.
‘It seems like both of them are martial artists at the low-level master stage.’
From their speed and strength, Xiao Tian was sure that they were on the same level as him. However, Xiao Tian was different from them.
Not only was he more skilled in martial arts, but Xiao Tian’s strength and speed already belonged to the category of the mid-level master stage.
*Uakk…
Those thugs were thrown back two meters by Xiao Tian’s kick.
Chao Dong gritted his teeth. He didn’t expect that Xiao Tian could beat two thugs easily.
“What are you waiting for? Attack him together!” Chao Dong said while pointing his right index finger at Xiao Tian.
The rest of the thugs dashed towards Xiao Tian. Even though they were unhappy with Chao Dong’s behavior towards them, they didn’t say anything because his older brother had paid them.
“No! Stop!” Liu Ning was even more scared when six thugs attacked Xiao Tian together.
Luckily, all of the thugs were only weak martial artists at the low-level master stage.
This made it easier for Xiao Tian to beat them. Even though they managed to land several strikes on his body, but Xiao Tian was able to beat them.
“Stop!” Chao Dong didn’t expect that Xiao Tian was skilled in martial arts. “If you fight back, I will cut her neck.”
Xiao Tian clenched his fists. What he was most afraid of finally happened.
Chao Dong then looked at the thugs again. “Hurry up and beat him!”
All the thugs rose to their feet and dashed towards Xiao Tian again. But like before, Xiao Tian had the upper hand when he was fighting them.
“I said don’t fight back!” Chao Dong pressed the knife, causing blood to appear on Liu Ning’s neck.
Xiao Tian instantly stopped fighting back when he saw blood on Liu Ning’s neck. Because he knew that Chao Dong would hurt Liu Ning again if he fought back, he decided only to defend himself.
*Uakkk…
Blood splashed out of Xiao Tian’s mouth.
Even though Xiao Tian was only focused on defending himself, but because eight thugs kept attacking him non-stop, he failed to block all of their attacks.
“Tian’er!” Liu Ning shouted worriedly.
“Hahaha.” Chao Dong laughed happily when the thugs were beating Xiao Tian. “Good! Keep beating him!”
“Hahaha.” Not only Chao Dong, but the thugs also laughed when they were beating Xiao Tian.
Previously, Xiao Tian always had the upper hand, but now, he was at a disadvantage.
“Take this, take this, take this.” The thugs attacked Xiao Tian non-stop because they knew that Xiao Tian would not fight back.
Even though Xiao Tian’s head was covered in blood and bruises, he refused to cry; instead, he was waiting for the right moment to save Liu Ning from Chao Dong.
At this moment, ten of Xiao Tian’s underlings arrived. When they saw eight thugs beating Xiao Tian, they were furious.
“Beat them!” Chun Hua said coldly as she pointed her right index finger at the thugs who were beating Xiao Tian.
However, before Chun Hua and the others could help Xiao Tian, Chao Dong said again. “Don’t move! Otherwise, I will cut her neck.”
This made Chun Hua and the others stop their footsteps.
Xiao Tian looked at his underlings and spoke, “Don’t move! Stay where you are!”
“But leader…” one of Xiao Tian’s underlings could not accept it when those eight lowly thugs were beating their leader.
“I said do not move!” Xiao Tian repeated his words.
Xiao Tian’s underlings gritted their teeth. Even though they wanted to beat up those eight thugs but because Xiao Tian ordered them to stay where they were, they could only clench their fists.
“Haha. You made the right decision. As a reward, we will keep beating you.” the thugs laughed happily after hearing Xiao Tian’s words.
“Tian’er!” tears fell down her soft cheeks.
Even though she knew that Xiao Tian loved her, but at this moment, Liu Ning could feel that she was very important in Xiao Tian’s heart.
He was even willing to get beaten up for her safety. Even though his actions made her happy, Liu Ning didn’t want Xiao Tian to continue to get beaten up.
It was harrowing for her when she saw her lover being beaten up before her eyes. She was even the reason it happened.
Chao Ximeng turned his head towards his younger brother and inquired, “How is it, brother? Are you happy now?”
“Yes. I’m happy, but this is not enough.” Chao Dong responded, “I want to torture him more.”
“If so then torture him to your heart’s content.” Chao Ximeng laughed happily after saying that.
*Uakk…
Xiao Tian was thrown two meters back before falling to the ground.
‘I need to think of a way to save Ning’er?’
He rose to his feet and wiped off the blood on the corners of his mouth.
