Chapter 13

Ye Tianchen looked at Hu Long and nodded, feeling that he was still a man, with good martial skills. Although he might not be a match for these several burly men, he still tightly protected his sister behind him, his expression very resolute. Even if he were to die, he would not let these people take his sister away.

Determined to protect his family at all costs, this trait was very similar to Ye Tianchen, so he had some appreciation for Hu Long, feeling that this guy still had some spirit.

"Damn it, you little bastard, you refuse the wine and choose the punishment."

One of the burly men rushed forward, slashing at Hu Long's head with a knife. Hu Long's martial skills were good, and he dodged the slash by sidestepping, then punched the burly man in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

"Attack together!" The leader of the burly men waved his hand and said.

Soon, Hu Long was fighting while retreating. With five or six burly men wielding machetes attacking together, Hu Long had to protect his sister while fighting back, which was quite difficult. He was soon hit by several punches and kicked a few times, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Swish!

One of the burly men slashed at Hu Long's arm, instantly tearing his clothes and causing blood to drip, quickly soaking his entire right arm, looking very frightening.

"Brother... Brother, are you okay?" Hu Long's sister, seeing her brother hit by the machete, tears streamed down her face as she ran over to support him, crying out.

"I'm fine, stand back, this is nothing." Hu Long pushed his sister away, afraid she would be accidentally hurt, and shouted.

"Brother, brother, stop fighting, let me go with them... Please, please don't hurt my brother, I'll go with you..." Hu Long's sister burst into tears, tears streaming down her face.

"Shut up, I'll die to protect you, how can I face our dead parents?" Hu Long shouted loudly.

At this moment, Hu Long and his sister were cornered, with five or six burly men all holding machetes and smirking. Hu Long and his sister had nowhere to run, and there was no way to escape.

"Hu Long, I'm giving you one last chance, either hand over your sister or submit to our boss, otherwise no one can save you." The leader of the burly men said coldly.

"Out of the question." Hu Long said fiercely.

"Still defiant at the brink of death."

Several burly men with machetes slowly surrounded them. Their goal was clear: to take down Hu Long first, then take his sister away to entertain Li Tie, the beast.

Just as one of the burly men was about to raise his knife to slash at Hu Long, everyone heard Ye Tianchen's voice.

"Stop!"

The burly men were puzzled, their faces twisted as they turned to look, wondering who had the nerve to interfere in their business.

When they saw Ye Tianchen, the burly men couldn't help but sneer. A young, inexperienced punk, truly not knowing life from death, daring to provoke them, wasn't this asking for it?

"Ha, who is this kid? Doesn't he know life from death?"

"Good, killing one is the same as killing two."

"Daring to interfere in our business, truly tired of living."

Ye Tianchen completely ignored the burly men's words. In his eyes, these people could become dead at any moment.

"I'll give you three seconds to disappear, or someone will die." Ye Tianchen said calmly.

"Huh? Damn it, do you know who we are? Daring to act tough in front of us, I'll kill you first."

One of the burly men walked toward Ye Tianchen. Ye Tianchen shrugged helplessly. He just wanted to help this spirited man, but it seemed he couldn't avoid getting involved.

The burly man who rushed over glared at Ye Tianchen and slashed at him with a knife. Ye Tianchen smiled coldly, kicked him away, and the man fell to the ground, groaning. Ye Tianchen picked up the machete that had fallen from the man's hand and looked at Hu Long, saying, "Your skills are much better than theirs, you just lack the courage."

Hu Long was also surprised at the young man in front of him. His skills were too strong; even if he went all out, he wouldn't be a match for him.

"You're right, I was too cowardly." Hu Long lowered his head and said.

"Now you're cornered, unable to protect your sister, what else do you have to worry about?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

Hearing Ye Tianchen's words, Hu Long was stunned for a moment, then stood up, tightly clenching his fists. Ye Tianchen was right; now he couldn't even protect his own life or take care of his sister, what else was there to worry about? If these people dared to attack, he had to fight back with all his might.

In fact, with Hu Long's skills, these five or six burly men were no match for him. Having practiced martial arts since childhood, he could handle ten or twenty small-time thugs without a problem. However, he had to protect his sister and was also concerned that fighting these men would deepen his enmity with Li Tie. He wasn't afraid of death, but he had to consider his sister, who was still in school.

Seeing Ye Tianchen walk over step by step, the leader of the burly men frowned and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know, if you don't leave, someone will lose their head." Ye Tianchen continued to walk over as he spoke.

"Go to hell!"

Suddenly, the burly man who had been kicked to the ground by Ye Tianchen got up, picked up a machete, and stabbed directly at Ye Tianchen's heart.

With a slicing sound, the knife cut through the skin. Ye Tianchen turned to dodge the attack, then slashed back, and the burly man's throat spurted blood. He clutched his throat in terror, unable to believe that this young man was so skilled, killing without hesitation, and with one slash, severed his throat.

The remaining burly men, seeing their brother killed by Ye Tianchen and lying in a pool of blood, were completely shocked, involuntarily stepping back, trembling all over, and sweating profusely.

A young man, killing without hesitation, and the calm expression after killing, made people's hearts shudder.

"You... you... who are you? We are Li Tie's men, if you kill us, you will also die." The leader of the burly men wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said nervously.

These burly men were all scared by Ye Tianchen. Originally, they were mocking him and wanted to teach him a lesson, but now they were retreating in fear, none daring to step forward. Although they were also thugs, they were far from as ruthless and efficient as this young man.

"Go back and tell that Li Tie, I'll visit him when I have the chance." Ye Tianchen said calmly.

"You... you... you're ruthless..."

The burly men with machetes were so scared that they ran away in a panic. Ye Tianchen yawned, turned to leave, and didn't think much about saving Hu Long and his sister. He just felt that Hu Long's spirit and humanity made him a man, so he helped out of the goodness of his heart.

Seeing the man who saved his sister and him turn to leave, Hu Long patted his sister's shoulder, calmed her down, and quickly caught up.

"Brother, wait, thank you for saving our lives!" Hu Long said gratefully.

"It's nothing, but I'm curious, with your skills, dealing with these people shouldn't be a problem, why were you hesitant and afraid of retaliation?" Ye Tianchen asked casually.

Hu Long looked at Ye Tianchen and finally briefly explained the situation, but he revealed a very important piece of information to Ye Tianchen.

It turned out that Hu Long had practiced martial arts since childhood and had studied under a master of Baguazhang for over ten years. However, his parents had fallen into high-interest loans and were forced to death by Li Tie. Later, Li Tie sent people to find Hu Long, asking him to do something for him. If he succeeded, the debt would be forgiven. Hu Long refused, which led to today's attack.

When Hu Long made his move, Ye Tianchen had already noticed. In the post-apocalyptic world, Ye Tianchen had also fought against experts from ancient martial arts schools. With China's five-thousand-year history, martial arts were also profound and extensive, such as modern Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Huashan, and Yvnü schools, which, although rarely seen in society, had not disappeared but were in hiding, with many formidable martial arts experts.

"Li Tie asked me to kill someone, I refused, so he sent people to cause trouble." Hu Long said.

"Kill someone? With your skills, killing an ordinary person should be silent and easy. Is the person you're supposed to kill also difficult to handle?" Ye Tianchen asked curiously.

"No, it's an ordinary person, but I heard he is a good official. I, Hu Long, may not be well-educated, but I know the principles of the country."

"Killing an official, who is this Li Tie?" Ye Tianchen asked, puzzled.

"Li Tie is a bully in the capital, a local tyrant with strong connections in various fields, often helping forces in the white world. I think this time he asked me to kill the good official for someone else." Hu Long said.

"Who is the person Li Tie asked you to kill?"

"A vice mayor of H City named Ye Hong!"

"What?"

Hu Long's words greatly surprised Ye Tianchen. He never expected that Li Tie, a bully in the capital, had once tried to get Hu Long, an expert in ancient martial arts, to assassinate his father. This matter had to be clarified.

Reborn in this life, Ye Tianchen would not allow anyone to harm his family. No matter who it was, if they dared to harm his family, they would be dealt with.
