Chapter 52: What a Fast Knife!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Three got up again, he only saw Su Yun’s back suddenly fall off the cliff.
However, because the environment was dark, it was difficult to find his figure.
Three thought to himself that this kid was really ruthless.
He was about to step forward to the cliff to take a look.
However, just as he made a move, he suddenly stopped in place and frowned, not daring to chase after him.
That was because Three only felt a chill on the back of his hand and neck. A slight movement made him feel a sharp pain.
When he looked down again, there were actually a few holes in his clothes, as if they had been cut open by scissors. Fortunately, he was not injured.
He raised his hand again to take a look. It would have been better if he hadn’t seen it. With just a slight movement, a small wound appeared on the back of his hand with a whoosh, and blood immediately flowed everywhere.
“Damn it, this kid is really a poacher with a weapon? What kind of weapon is this? It doesn’t look like a crossbow.”
“F*ck, playing dirty!”
Everything that had happened just now seemed to have taken a long time, but it had actually only happened in a minute or two. Three only knew that he had heard a few strange cries in his ears and felt pain from the mountain wind.
However, from the looks of it, that person should have used a weapon like a crossbow just now and not a mountain wind.
“Fortunately, it’s only a scratch. If I was shot by the crossbow, wouldn’t I be finished?”
Three thought so and actually felt a little lucky.
When he looked up again, he could no longer see anyone.
Three knew that he had lost him. At the same time, the pain in his body began to intensify.
Three cherished his life. Although he had only been grazed by the arrow, he was afraid that if he did not treat his wound, it would be easy to get infected, so he planned to calm down and check his injuries first.
However, at this moment, the sound of leaves shattering could be heard from behind.
“Three, where is he? Did you catch him?”
With a familiar voice, Big Brother Fatty’s body was strong and he quickly approached.
Behind him was a tall and thin man who did not say a word.
“Is it that troublesome? Why did you have to call us over?”
Big Brother Fatty was a suspicious person by nature. After knowing that Three had discovered traces of a person, he followed him all the way.
Three lowered his head and looked at the wound on the back of his hand. After a moment of silence, he said, “He ran away. Big… Big Brother, the other party has a long-range weapon. I think I’m injured.”
Seeing Three’s appearance, Big Brother Fatty was furious. “I asked you to chase after him long ago, but you were lazy. You couldn’t even deal with an ordinary person and were injured by others…”
Although Big Brother Fatty nagged for a while, he was still very concerned about Three. After all, he only had a few subordinates.
He quickly walked forward and used the flashlight to check Three’s injuries.
“To think you call yourself a short-legged whirlwind. Where’s your wound?
Where did you hurt yourself?”
Little Three pointed at the back of his hand, then at his neck.
“It seems like my neck hurts too…”
The fat brother and the thin tall man leaned forward to take a look. Then, they said angrily, “That’s it?”
“There’s only a f*cking line on your neck. I think it’s because you haven’t taken a shower for too long that you’re having cracks on your skin. Are you f*cking joke with me at this time!
What a piece of trash!
Do you know how much trouble you’ll bring us if you let that person go? You can’t do anything right!”
Pah!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He swung his arm and slapped Three. Three felt his vision turn black and was in a daze.
—Plop
In the next moment, Three fell to his knees like a limp clay figurine and his head hit the ground.
“I didn’t use my full strength. Kid, you lost the person and you’re still trying to play around with me?”
As he spoke, he looked at his palm in confusion. He felt a little strange. Was the power of his slap so terrifying? When did I become so awesome?
Something’s not right!
In the next moment, before Big Brother Fatty could turn around, he heard a puff and a warm liquid suddenly sprayed on his face.
Immediately, a trace of fear appeared in the fat brother’s eyes. He reacted a little sluggishly and looked at Three, only to see the tiny black line on Little Three’s neck instantly crack, followed by a strong smell of blood.
The night was too dark to see clearly.
However, the fat brother’s eyes had already become anxious. He hurriedly kicked twice with his foot, only to see Three fall to the side as if he had no strength.
Instantly, Brother Fatty’s heart turned cold.
“Blood?! What’s going on!”
After wiping the liquid off his face, Big Brother Fatty finally came back to his senses.
Without any time to think, he hurriedly leaned over to check on Three’s situation with the thin tall man behind him.
The thin tall man also turned on the flashlight. The moment the dazzling light entered their eyes, the two of them gasped.
One slash to the throat!
Three was spitting out blood bubbles from his mouth and his neck was red.
Blood kept flowing out.
The fat brother was quick to react. He hurriedly grabbed Three’s neck to prevent the blood from flowing back into his throat.
“What’s going on? Who did you meet?”
Gulp… I… Gulp.
“What did you say? Three, hold on. Who did you meet?”
The fat brother anxiously leaned over and put his ear close to Three’s mouth, wanting to hear what he was saying.
“Gulp, gulp..
“You can’t even say a complete sentence until you die. You’re making us so anxious!”
In the end, Brother Fatty gave up.
He slowly moved his palm away. After a few violent chokes, Three gradually stopped moving.
“Big Brother, Three, he…”
Seeing his companion’s tragic state, the thin tall man’s face was filled with fear, and he felt a little sad.
The fat brother wiped the blood on his hand on Three’s corpse. He stood up with a dark expression and said, “There’s no hope.”
Indeed, Three’s windpipe had been cut open by something. If he did not move violently, he might be able to hold on for a while, but he would die sooner or later. His flesh would quickly collapse under the impact of the blood and he would no longer be able to turn the situation around.
Now that he was slapped by Big Brother Fatty, it was as if a switch had been pressed, causing the wound on his neck to open in advance.
“Big Brother, what kind of method is this? Who is so ruthless?”
Big Brother Fatty gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t know, but the other party is definitely not an ordinary person. We have to be careful!”
The fat brother carefully looked at the nearby traces.
There didn’t seem to be a fight, and the other party’s footprints were cut off by the cliff. After seeing the asphalt road under the short cliff, he understood.
The other party must have jumped down from here and escaped.
It was very likely that Three had been ambushed by the other party with a long-range weapon.
In the end, the fat brother let out a long sigh and gestured for the thin tall man to carry Three’s corpse.
The thin tall man picked up Three’s corpse. “Big Brother, what exactly made you cooperate with those people? If you hadn’t come to the Burning Mountain, Three wouldn’t have died today!”
Hearing this, Brother Fatty glared and said angrily, “Shut up! Those are people we can’t afford to offend. This time, we can only admit defeat!”
“Damn!”
“Let’s go. Since things have come to this, let’s deal with Three’s corpse first.”
As soon as Big Brother Fatty finished speaking, he heard rustling sounds not far away. Two burly figures walked over.
Seeing the two of them approach, the tomb robbers could not help but be vigilant. Clearly, they were guarding against each other.
“Those two mercenaries are coming.”
The fat brother reminded him. Then, when the two of them approached, he began to talk to them in a low voice.
Their faces could not be seen clearly in the night, but from their broken accent, it was obvious that they were not Chinese.
When one of the mercenaries asked what had happened, he looked a little surprised. He hurriedly turned on the flashlight and looked at Three’s corpse.
At this moment, blood was still oozing out of Three’s neck. The incision was deep and long, causing the expressions of the two mercenaries to immediately change. They exclaimed,
“What a fast knife technique!”
