Chapter 67

Seeing Third Brother and me arrive, Li Hong sneered and said, "I thought you were too scared to come!"

"Why wouldn't we come when there's a chance to beat you up! I didn't get enough last time; this time I have to loosen your bones properly!" Third Brother smiled cruelly as he looked at Li Hong.

I looked at the people around and didn't see Chen Duxiu and the others. Could it be that none of them wanted to come? But it's not their fault; after all, in this kind of suicidal situation, no one except Third Brother was willing to follow. The disparity between the two sides was too great, and there was no benefit to be gained. It was already decent enough that they didn't choose to join Li Hong's side.

"Loosen my bones? Look, besides the two of you, where is anyone else? You are simply commanders without an army. Now even Chen Duxiu won't help you! What else do you have to be cocky about?" Li Hong looked at Third Brother and me with disdain.

Chen Duxiu must hate me to death right now. I didn't count on him coming to help me this time. After all, after the incident with Su Xueya, I guess it will be hard for us to be friends in the future. But there's no helping that; I feel quite apologetic toward him, and can only say that if I can help him in the future, I will.

"So what if it's just the two of us? To deal with you lot, the two of us are enough!" Third Brother took out a stick he had prepared earlier and swung it, looking like he was ready to start.

Li Hong and his group weren't pushovers either. A whole crowd of them were carrying weapons—stool legs, baseball bats, all sorts of weapons. The scene was quite grand.

"Li Hong, prepare to die!" Third Brother shouted, and he rushed forward with the stick, like a god of war descending. He charged into the crowd, taking down one person per strike. The people around were no match for him, and he reached Li Hong quite easily.

However, Li Hong was not panicked at all, his expression cold and sneering. Seeing this, I suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted to Third Brother, "Bad, retreat quickly!"

Third Brother's reaction was a bit slow. Two people suddenly jumped out from the crowd and attacked him. Seeing this, I quickly kicked out in mid-air. The opponent actually forced a change in position in the air and clashed with my kick. We both retreated a few steps, while the other person kicked Third Brother to the ground.

My face looked ugly. Both of these people were very strong, and more importantly, I realized I didn't recognize them. They were clearly not Zhang Longtao's four great warriors from before. Where did Li Hong find these experts?

Third Brother groaned in pain, climbed up from the ground, and cursed at Li Hong, "You bastard, you're really underhanded. Are these two students from our school?"

"Why wouldn't they be students from our school? Can't they have just transferred from out of town?"

"Damn, these two could be your father! Still students? Go lie to a ghost!"

The surrounding students watching the show looked at this scene in surprise, especially the guy who had just clashed with me. The moves he used were simply beyond reason, making them unable to believe their eyes. He could even adjust his body position and movements in mid-air—it was simply against the laws of physics. To use a popular saying on the internet: Newton: China is not under my jurisdiction, it's under my brother 'Awesome'."

"This is simply too strong. Are those movements something a human can do? Why does it feel like watching a movie!"

"But Yang Yun and Xu Hongzhi are quite impressive, actually being able to fight against people like this!"

"I guess the others aren't even using their full strength, just playing with them. Those two idiots Yang Yun and Xu Hongzhi are just asking for death. Who else would they provoke? They had to provoke Li Hong!"

Jeering sounds came from all around. Third Brother's face was livid, and he rushed over again to attack the person who had ambushed him. Because Third Brother had been kicked, he didn't have the upper hand and was suppressed by the opponent at every turn. Third Brother found it harder and harder to fight. I really wanted to go help him, but the guy in front of me was blocking me. Judging by the strength of the kick he clashed with me earlier, this guy was definitely not an ordinary person, and I wasn't sure I could take him down either.

Li Hong shouted to the people around, "All of you, attack together! Kill them!"

The crowd swarmed over. Although our skills were decent, we couldn't hold them off, and before long, we had quite a few injuries.

"Stop!"

A sudden voice made us stop. I recognized it as Chen Ling's voice.

Chen Ling ran over and glared at our group, saying, "Who allowed you to fight in school? I've already told the teachers, and I've also called the police. You'd better leave quickly, or you'll all be arrested in a moment!"

"Chen Ling, don't rely on your family background to protect Yang Yun so recklessly. How long do you think you can protect him?"

The expressions of Li Hong and Chen Ling made it seem like they had known each other for a long time.

"What does that have to do with you? You'd better pray you don't have any dirt on you that I can catch, or I'll have my dad throw you in jail!"

"Chen Ling, don't go too far. If you insist on blocking me, don't blame me for not considering our marital ties!"

A sudden sentence surprised everyone around.

"Chen Ling and Li Hong are a married couple? This news is too explosive! I've never heard them say anything about it before. And didn't Li Hong transfer halfway through? Did he conquer Chen Ling in just this short time?"

"That's not right, is it? Hasn't Chen Ling always had feelings for Yang Yun? If they are really a married couple, wouldn't that mean Chen Ling is cheating on Li Hong?"

"I've never heard of Chen Ling and Li Hong having any interaction!"

Hearing the discussion of the people around, Chen Ling's face turned livid, and she cursed at Li Hong, "Who is a married couple with you? Don't talk nonsense!"

"What? It was decided by both our parents, do you want to go back on it?"

"It's true my dad decided it, but I didn't agree. Go be a married couple with my dad then!"

Hearing this, the people around finally understood. It seemed that Chen Ling's family and Li Hong's family knew each other and had a good relationship, having arranged a marriage for them. However, it looked like Chen Ling didn't acknowledge it.

"Are you determined to interfere in this matter today?" Li Hong didn't continue the previous topic.

"I'm in the student council, and I'm Yang Yun's Class Monitor. In any case, I won't allow you to fight in school!" Chen Ling didn't directly say she was helping me, but anyone with eyes could see it.

"Fine, since you insist on opposing me, then so be it!"

As Li Hong's voice fell, he gave a look to those two people. Both of them turned toward Chen Ling at the same time, looking like they were going to attack her. Chen Ling was startled by this scene. No one had expected this change, and I certainly hadn't expected Li Hong's heart to be so cruel and vicious.
