Li Heng screamed in pain and then raised the dagger to stab Su Xueya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, I don't know where I got the strength. Seeing this scene, I rushed over and knocked Li Heng away. Li Heng was knocked back a few steps by my collision, and at the same time, he was freed from Su Xueya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Heng saw the two of us and cursed, \"You’re courting death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Li Heng held the dagger and slashed toward us like a madman. Because Su Xueya wasn't paying attention, her arm was directly slashed. Su Xueya screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Li Heng then prepared to stab Su Xueya. I hurriedly rushed over and pushed Su Xueya away. I only felt a sharp pain in my waist and fell directly to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xueya was terrified and screamed directly. Just as Li Heng was preparing for his next move, the other three people opposite hurriedly shouted at Li Heng, \"Li Heng, hurry up and run, people are coming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard the sound of sirens not far away and knew that we were saved. Li Heng looked at us with great unwillingness, held the dagger, and ran away in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lay powerlessly on the ground, clutching my waist in pain, feeling a warm current staining my hand. I clutched my wound tightly, trying not to let myself lose too much blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xueya’s tears kept falling. She cried and supported me, saying, \"Yang Yun, you must hold on. The police are here, and the ambulance will be here soon. You must not be okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, I felt my head was dizzy. My body was already overdrawn, and coupled with the injury and blood loss just now, my eyes could no longer see anything. I felt the whole world was spinning, and my eyes went black, and I fainted directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Li Heng and the four of them, they returned to the bar in a sorry state. Li Heng was the most miserable. The faces of several people were not very good-looking. They knew that the mission had not been completed this time, and they would definitely be scolded by Zhang Longtao. They originally thought it was a simple mission, but they didn't expect to fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhang Longtao was very strange to see several people returning with scars. However, when he saw that several people were lowering their heads and not speaking, he had a bad premonition in his heart. He asked the four people coldly, \"Didn't you handle the person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, Brother Tao, it's our incompetence!\" Li Heng came out directly to admit his mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, you four went together and didn't take him down? Are you guys rice buckets? What do I raise you for? You’re really useless!\" Zhang Longtao cursed angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak. However, it didn't take long for Zhang Longtao to regain his sanity. He looked at Li Heng and asked, \"What's the reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is very powerful, and it can be seen that he should be a person on our path, knowing martial arts, but I don't know which family's style it is!\" Li Heng said embarrassedly with a gray face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Can't you all see his style?\" Zhang Longtao’s gaze fell on the other few people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people all shook their heads and didn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhang Longtao’s mood was very complicated. He lit a cigar, exhaled lightly, and said faintly, \"I didn't expect to raise a tiger and cause trouble. A person on the path, right? I don't know who his master is. It seems I have to pay more attention to this guy. Otherwise, it will be like what my dad said, if I get killed by him, it won't be fun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Tao, you’re overthinking it. He’s just a shrimp from somewhere. How can he compare to you? He doesn't have any power in his hands at all!\" Li Heng didn't forget to flatter at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you’ve been playing with women too much lately, and you’ve become stupid, right? He doesn't have power? If he doesn't have power, can he teach someone more powerful than you? And I heard that he also has quite a few people under his hand at school. Although they are just a group of students, ants can bite elephants, so we can't take it lightly. It seems I have to find time to spend more energy on this future brother-in-law of mine!\" Zhang Longtao exhaled smoke rings and muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I woke up, I was already in the hospital, and I found that there were quite a few people beside me, including Third Brother, Zhang Yinuo, and Su Xueya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xueya was lying on my bedside, her face haggard. At this moment, seeing me wake up, she was very pleasantly surprised: \"Yang Yun, that's great, you're awake. Are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xueya’s sudden words made everyone gather around. I wanted to climb up, but I found that my whole body was like being filled with lead, very heavy. Su Xueya hurriedly supported me to lean back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sat up slowly and looked at these concerned people in front of me. My heart felt warm. Once upon a time, I was just an orphan, and no one cared. Now I have friends who care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I coughed twice slightly and then looked at everyone and said, \"I'm sorry, let you worry. I'm fine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, I said that Li Hong must have been ill-intentioned at the time. Damn, when I go back to school, I’ll kill him!\" Third Brother cursed angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be impulsive. Actually, it's not without gains this time. At least there was a clue at the time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I almost lost my life this time, I got the clue that the situation at that time had something to do with Wang Li. It's just that I don't know where Wang Li is now. After being beaten to disability by Zhang Longtao before, it seems that I haven't seen him much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry!\" Zhang Yinuo looked at me apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you saying sorry?\" I was very puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, the matter was mainly Zhang Longtao’s idea. The four great warriors under his hand were the ones who ambushed you. I didn't expect that he would send all four of them out to deal with you this time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This has nothing to do with you. You also said it was Zhang Longtao’s idea. You don't have to take it to heart, and I'm fine!\" I smiled and signaled Zhang Yinuo to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Su Xueya sat beside me without saying a word, quietly looking at me. After a group of people finished speaking, only Su Xueya was left, and she said, \"Thank you so much today. It's all my fault. I implicated you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What nonsense are you talking about? Why do you people like to take responsibility on yourselves? This matter has nothing to do with you at all. It was purely designed by them to target me. You were just incidental. If you want to talk about implication, it was me who implicated you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I said so, Su Xueya was still unhappy. However, I couldn't understand her expression because her facial expressions basically didn't change whether she was happy or unhappy. So, as for whether Su Xueya had listened to my words at this time, I didn't know at all. ===== CHAPTER 53 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1305,"2026-06-11T15:09:04.179Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1524856f7b9a1271817b38355f35d28145641cb64022a79d3f2fe7668b2e7d39","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-53","rise-of-the-warlord-chapter-51",227,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-warlord-cover.jpg"]
