Chapter 47 - This Person Is Strange
Chapter 47: This Person Is Strange
“The Gu family’s Iron Palm is deserving of his reputation.” The long braid man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly.
Di Tai clenched his fists and maintained his combat stance. “Who sent you?” he asked warily.
The man chuckled. “The dead don’t need answers.”
With that, he strode forward and arrived in front of Di Tai in a single leap.
“So fast!” Di Tai was shocked. His pupils dilated.
Swoosh!
A metallic sheen flashed before him.
The long braid man’s dagger slashed at Di Tai’s neck.
Di Tai had no time to think—he swiftly fell back.
Chi—
With a crisp sound, blood dripped from the long braid man’s dagger.
“Tsk tsk! You actually dodged it.
“But you won’t be so lucky next time.” The long braid man licked his dagger and laughed sinisterly.
Di Tai touched his neck. There was a shallow cut.
If he had reacted half a beat slower, his artery would have torn.
Right now, he was injured. The only way to survive was to escape.
Di Tai suddenly recalled that there was a huge underground water pipe in the warehouse. There were many openings in the water pipe. He might have a slim chance of survival if he went there.
Right then, the long braid man attacked again.
This time, he had changed his target and moved to Di Tai’s legs.
He wanted to slowly torture Di Tai to death.
The man brushed past Di Tai and attacked in a strange way. Di Tai tried his best to dodge, but he was still struck.
His legs had several cuts from the dagger. His blood kept pouring out.
However, he was now close to the entrance of the underground water pipe.
Di Tai couldn’t care for the injuries on his legs. He used all his strength to rush towards the water pipe.
“You want to run? It won’t be that easy.” The long braid man had long figured out Di Tai’s intentions.
He swung his head, and the long braid on his head suddenly wrapped around Di Tai’s ankle like a whip.
Then, he tugged with all his might. Di Tai was instantly thrown into the air.
The man leaped up and kneed him in the stomach.
With a loud cry, Di Tai spat out a large amount of blood and fell into the trash.
The long braid man landed beside him and sent him flying into the wall with another kick.
Di Tai collapsed on the ground, fresh blood flowing out of his body. His consciousness gradually faded.
However, he still did not give up. Instead, he gritted his teeth and tried to get up.
However, the combination of old injuries and new ones had brought him to the brink of death.
The long braid man smiled sinisterly as he slowly walked towards Di Tai.
In his eyes, Di Tai was already a dead man. A miracle couldn’t happen.
However, after taking a few steps, two people walked in through the entrance of the warehouse.
They were the two Divination students.
When they saw what was happening, they were extremely shocked.
They had thought that the man with the long braid was doing some shady business. They did not expect him to come here and kill someone.
“Old… Old Shen, quickly… quickly call the police?” Old Chen urged anxiously.
Old Shen was also flustered. He took out his phone with shaky hands.
The long braid man turned around and examined them coldly.
“Since both of you have seen everything, I have to kill you.”
The long braid man was determined to kill them. So, he lunged and leaped forward, landing in front of them.
In the eyes of the long braid man, the two men were ordinary. Killing them would be as simple as crushing ants.
“Old Chen, run!” Old Shen shouted in horror.
Old Chen faltered for a second.
Right at this moment, something cold flashed before his eyes.
There was a sharp dagger about to slash his neck.
Old Chen didn’t know what to do. Then, out of instinct, he reached out and grabbed the man’s wrist.
The long braid man froze.
Old Chen was confused too.
How did he manage to grab him?
Before he could think, the long braid man used more strength in his arm and pushed forward.
He thought to himself, Isn’t he just an ordinary person? How can he be stronger than a practitioner of martial arts like me?
However, something even more shocking happened.
Old Chen’s hand was as heavy as a hydraulic press. It did not budge an inch. The long braid man could not push forward at all.
This time, the long braid man’s expression changed.
His eyes were wide as he surveyed Old Chen. He thought inwardly, This person is strange.
Old Chen, on the other hand, had a blank look on his face. Then, behind him, Old Shen shouted, “Old Chen, what are you waiting for? Run.”
Old Chen instantly sobered up.
He flung his hand, and he prepared to run.
Clack.
The man’s hand, which was in Old Chen’s grip, distorted like an empty tube of toothpaste.
“Ah—”
The long braid man shrieked.
Old Chen had just taken a step when he stopped again.
The man with the long braid was hunched over with one hand holding his other. He looked like he was in great agony.
Old Chen was puzzled.
I have not done anything, so why are they in so much pain?
“Old Chen, what are you looking at? Do you want to die?” Old Shen shouted again.
“Oh… oh!” Old Chen was puzzled, but the situation didn’t allow him to think further. He immediately ran away.
On the contrary, the long braid man did not give chase immediately.
He believed that he had met someone pretending to be weak to get the better of him.
That guy was deliberately pretending to be frightened. He just wanted to get my guard down so that he could launch a surprise attack.
How can an ordinary person block my attack and grab my wrist so accurately?
Recalling the details from before was terrifying.
If he were to chase after them, he wouldn’t be able to predict what tricks they would pull.
“I can’t believe I got into an accident like this while trying to kill a small-time martial arts practitioner. If those people were to learn about this, they would definitely make fun of me.”
The long braid man shook his head and smiled bitterly. He felt indignant, but he could not do anything.
For this reason, all he wanted was to quickly end Di Tai’s life and go treat the wound on his hand.
But just as he turned around, a figure pounced over him.
It was Di Tai.
“Die!”
With the posture of a great hawk spreading its wings, Di Tai slammed his palms hard against the man’s temples.
The long braid man didn’t react at all.
There was only a loud thud when he hit the ground.
He died as soon as he was hit.
The temples were a vital part of the human body.
Modern medicine has shown that striking the temples can either cause a concussion or kill someone.
Di Tai was a martial arts practitioner. Although he was seriously injured, this was his final attack. His life was at stake, so he put his heart into it.
The long braid man collapsed like a boneless animal.
His eyes were wide with shock, and he died on the spot.
Di Tai also fainted.
Soon after, the police arrived.
Old Chen and Old Shen were leading two policemen.
“Officer, the person is in that warehouse.” Old Chen pointed ahead.
The two policemen took out their guns.
“The two of you, go outside. Don’t come close,” the policeman said sternly.
“Okay! Officer, be careful.” Old Chen and Old Shen immediately ran out to wait for the outcome.
The two policemen raised their guns and slowly approached the warehouse.
When they arrived at the entrance of the warehouse, the two policemen stood on each side and exchanged glances with each other.
A policeman made a moving gesture.
1, 2, 3, charge!
The two policemen quickly entered the warehouse.
The long braid man and Di Tai were motionless on the ground.
The two policemen were shocked.
They walked over warily.
When they saw Di Tai’s face, they were particularly surprised.
