Chapter 313 A Huge Joke
The usually imposing Jiang Hao was now trembling like a leaf.
His legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the cold ground with a thud.
All he wanted to do now was escape. He used both his hands and feet to scoot backward, his back slamming hard against the corner of the wall with a dull thud.
He knew there was no way out; his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with fear.
It's over, it's over!
Jiang Hao's mind went blank, with only this thought screaming wildly within him.
He clutched his head in despair, his shoulders heaving violently, and he let out intermittent groans, looking utterly pathetic!
"Lin Wei! I was wrong! Please forgive me! I promise I'll pay you back! I'll sell everything I own to repay you!"
His pleas for mercy had no effect.
They were quickly swallowed up by the arrogant, sinister laughs of the thugs.
As the gleaming machete was about to strike, Jiang Hao closed his eyes in despair, his whole body tense, waiting for the moment when excruciating pain would strike.
suddenly,
A tall figure suddenly blocked Jiang Hao's path.
The next second, a voice as cold as ice pierced through the noisy commotion and resounded throughout the room.
"Don't move!"
"If you want to mess with my brother Hao, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
It's Ma Junjie!
Jiang Hao suddenly opened his eyes, staring in disbelief at the back of the figure blocking his way, his eyes instantly reddening.
The thugs were stunned, their movements halting in unison. They were first taken aback, then looked as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world.
A deafening roar of laughter erupted instantly, with people laughing so hard they were doubled over, their steel pipes and machetes clashing together with a loud clanging sound.
I laughed for a while.
A bald man wearing a black vest, revealing a python tattoo on his arm.
He weighed the machete in his hand, pointed the tip at Ma Junjie, and sneered.
"Kid, I've seen plenty of heroes, but I've never seen anyone as overconfident as you!"
"With your skinny arms and legs, you dare to step forward and call yourself a hero?"
Another thug with a menacing face had long disliked Ma Junjie.
He took a step forward with a sinister grin, his fierce gaze seeming to want to devour Ma Junjie alive.
"Kid, I've had my eye on you for ages. You've got the path to heaven, but you've chosen the gates to hell! Today I'll send you to your doom and make you pay for your arrogance!"
Jiang Hao was terrified upon hearing this. He scrambled to grab Ma Junjie's trouser leg, pleading in a tearful voice.
"Ah Jie! Run! You have to run!"
"This has nothing to do with you! Don't let me kill you here! It's not worth it! It really isn't worth it!"
Ma Junjie, however, remained motionless as if he hadn't heard anything.
He glanced down at the panicked Jiang Hao at his feet, then slowly raised his head, his gaze deep and cold as he swept over the group of ferocious-looking thugs in front of him.
A few seconds later, he crouched down and picked up a torn piece of curtain from the ground.
The fabric was thick, with sharp burrs along the edges.
Ma Junjie, expressionless, tightly wrapped the curtain around his arms, round and round, with such force that it seemed he wanted to dig the fabric into his flesh.
Ma Junjie stopped when his arms were completely wrapped up, leaving only his hands with distinct knuckles exposed.
Upon seeing this, the thugs were stunned for a moment, then realized what Ma Junjie was about to do, and without warning, they burst into unrestrained laughter again.
"Hahaha! Has this kid gone mad?!"
"Brothers, did you see that? This kid's all set. He's planning to take down seven or eight of us with his bare hands!"
A skinny, monkey-like thug yelled, banging his steel pipe loudly.
"Brothers, what do you think we should do?"
The thugs instantly stopped laughing, their eyes turning bloodshot, their gazes towards Ma Junjie filled with violence and murderous intent.
They roared in unison.
"What to do? Chop him into mincemeat! Feed him to the dogs!"
The bald thug turned to look at Lin Wei standing behind him, his eyes questioning.
Lin Wei slowly sat down on a mahogany chair in the back, her posture elegant, her legs crossed, her fingers gently tapping the armrest.
She glanced at the bald man, then looked up at Ma Junjie, who seemed oblivious to his fate, in the crowd.
He nodded slowly.
That's the signal to take action!
The bald thug understood, grinned maliciously, and suddenly raised his machete, the blade gleaming coldly under the light.
The bald man shouted sternly at his henchmen behind him.
"Brothers! Charge! Beat him to death! Kill him and feed him to the dogs!"
"kill!"
At his command, seven or eight thugs pounced on Ma Junjie like hungry wolves, brandishing steel pipes and machetes!
The clash of swords and the murderous aura seemed to tear this small space apart!
Lin Wei sat upright in the chair, shook her head slightly, and a hint of regret flashed in her eyes.
To be honest, she initially admired Ma Junjie to some extent.
Unfortunately, Ma Junjie made a fatal mistake.
Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it will only lead to its own destruction.
What good is it if an ordinary person is a great fighter?
Two fists can't fight four hands. Facing seven or eight machetes, Ma Junjie was doomed.
Lin Wei lowered her head, took out a pack of women's cigarettes, pulled one out and held it between her fingers, and then slowly took out a lighter.
With a "whoosh," a flame shot up, igniting the cigarette, and wisps of white smoke slowly rose.
Lin Wei brought the cigarette to her lips, preparing to take a deep drag, when her gaze inadvertently swept forward.
The next second, her movements suddenly froze!
Lin Wei's hand holding the cigarette was suspended in mid-air, and she was frozen in place as if she had been struck by a spell, turning into a statue!
Her pupils suddenly contracted, and the contempt and indifference on her face were instantly replaced by shock. She even forgot to breathe!
Ahead, Ma Junjie's figure moved with ghostly speed.
Bare-handed, yet without flinching, he faced the charging thugs head-on and stepped forward!
Facing the oncoming cleaver, Ma Junjie slightly shifted his body to the side, narrowly avoiding the blade. At the same time, he unleashed a fierce whip kick, accurately striking the thug's knee!
A crisp "snap" sounded!
With a piercing scream, the thug clutched his knee and collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain.
One move! Just one move!
Ma Junjie's movements were quick, accurate, and ruthless, without the slightest hesitation!
It was as if he wasn't facing a group of vicious thugs, but rather practicing against a bunch of defenseless wooden stakes!
Ma Junjie moved through the crowd with ease and confidence.
His fists were like iron hammers, each punch accompanied by the crisp sound of bones shattering; his leg techniques were as sharp as knives, each kick sending thugs flying backward with screams!
"Crackling and popping!"
"Dong dong qiang qiang!"
The sounds of bones colliding, screams, and the thuds of knives and clubs hitting the ground echoed throughout the room!
Lin Wei stared intently at Ma Junjie's agile figure, her eyes filled with disbelief and horror.
In just a few dozen seconds
The seven or eight thugs who had just been yelling about chopping Ma Junjie into mincemeat were now all lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
The steel pipes and machetes in their hands were scattered all over the ground, and no one could get up again!
The room fell silent instantly, with only the thugs' painful groans remaining.
Before Lin Wei could recover from the shock, she suddenly felt a lightness on her fingertips.
The cigarette in my hand had vanished without a trace!
At the same time, a voice carrying a faint smell of blood slowly rang in her ears.
"Perfect timing, I'm feeling puffed up with a cigarette too."
Lin Wei's body jolted, and she looked up as if she had been electrocuted.
There stood Ma Junjie right in front of her!
Ma Junjie's face was covered in blood, some from others and some from himself, but he didn't look disheveled at all. Instead, he exuded a terrifying aura.
Lin Wei saw that Ma Junjie was slightly out of breath, and the cigarette she had just lit was dangling from his lips!
"you!"
Lin Wei was both shocked and furious. She suddenly stood up and slapped Ma Junjie hard across the face!
She's been in the underworld for so many years, she's never suffered such humiliation!
However, her hand was only halfway raised when Ma Junjie grabbed it!
That hand was like an iron clamp, with astonishing strength.
Lin Wei felt as if her arm was about to be crushed, and the pain caused cold sweat to instantly break out on her forehead.
Ma Junjie didn't even glance at her, but instead stared down at her hand, his voice low and cold as he spoke softly.
"Sister Lin, don't humiliate yourself."
Lin Wei's body stiffened abruptly, as if all her strength had been drained away, leaving her unable to move.
Looking into Ma Junjie's unfathomable eyes, a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Her eyes showed disbelief.
He murmured,
"Who...who exactly are you?"
"What...what do you want to do?"
