Chapter 94 The Fight in the Underground Tunnel (1)

Wen Yantong was terrified as she hurriedly went to pick up the knife. When she was about to touch it, suddenly a foot stepped on the handle of the knife.

She raised her head subconsciously, and saw a man holding a knife high up, as if he wanted to chop off her head! Wen Yantong was frightened out of her wits and couldn’t help but cry out!

Chi Jingxi spun, turned around, and kicked the man in the side. With a scream, the man was kicked away and fell to the side.

He grabbed Wen Yantong's shoulder, lifting her to stand up. At the same time, he picked up the knife, stuffed it into Wen Yantong's hand, and snatched the firestarter from her hand.

Wen Yantong had never encountered such a scene in her life before, so she was panicking. The sharp blade in her hand refracted an eye piercing light; in her view, it was a deadly threat, causing her mind to freeze.

Just then, another armed person tried to attack from behind. Chi Jingxi turned his face. After seeing it from the corner of his eyes, he held Wen Yantong's neck and pressed her body down. At the same time, he struck back with his elbow, hitting the man in the face.

There was another painful scream. The man covered his face and took several steps back.

Wen Yantong once heard from a biology teacher that the nose, neck, and stomach were the most vulnerable places to aim for while in a fight. If one had enough strength, it could render people immobile with just one hit.

At that time, the naive Wen Yantong also sincerely asked, "Isn’t the little junior down there also considered fragile?"

Then she was punished by the biology teacher.

One shouldn’t mention the past, but Wen Yantong saw Chi Jingxi use elbow and single handedly break someone's nose. That man covered his face and screamed so miserably; he really lost the ability to retaliate.

Taking advantage of this time, Chi Jingxi lit the torch hanging on the wall by the door and the surrounding area finally became brighter. Wen Yantong looked around, only to find that a dozen or so people had come here in a short time; all of them were holding knives.

In the blink of an eye, there were already three lying down beside them. Chi Jingxi was great, but what were the chances of winning a fight against a dozen people?

What's more, he was carrying a bag of bricks with him.

Wen Yantong gritted her teeth in self annoyance. It would have been great if she was not a bag of bricks but a bag of bombs. Then that way, these dozen-or-so people wouldn’t be a problem at all.

Seeing that her hand holding the knife was shaking violently, Chi Jingxi knocked her in annoyance. Wen Yantong groaned in pain, and heard him say, "Idiot. Hold the knife firmly, if anyone comes close to you, cut them down."

"But I– I've never cut anyone before!" Wen Yantong replied tremblingly.

Chi Jingxi pondered for a moment. "Chop it like you would chop a Wu-Dou rooster."

How could a person be like a chicken!?

Chickens were killed to eat, but what about killing people? Murder was illegal! Wen Yantong, who had been educated in the laws and regulations of the twenty-first century, would not be able to pass this hurdle in such a short amount of time. Her legs trembled in fright when facing these thugs.

This was probably the most real reaction of an ordinary woman facing danger in this era. Like those time-traveling heroines described in the novels, remaining calm and quick-thinking when encountering a dangerous situation. While still holding a knife in her hand and killing people like chopping steak– Wen Yantong could never relate.

For her to be able to stand so steadily was already a great achievement.

The surrounding people soon circled them in. With terrifying appearances, the knives in their hands were relentless, slashing at the stomach, neck, and head. After a hit, if she wasn’t disemboweled, then her skull would be split.

How could Wen Yantong cope with that?

Chi Jingxi turned and flexibly arched his back to avoid the blade. He then pulled out a short palm-length knife from his sleeve. When the blade turned, he cut the person's throat before she saw how it was done.

But no matter how fast he was, the splashed blood still stained his delicate and luxurious robe red; even dripping onto his clean chin.

He didn't stop at all and moved like flowing water. The handle of his knife hit the side of the other man's neck. The collision on the man’s mandible made a crisp sound, but Chi Jingxi didn’t hesitate to kick the man in the abdomen, making the man fly back.

A dozen or so people filled the small space. As soon as Chi Jingxi knocked down one person, the people behind would fill in the new gap. From the corner of the eye, Chi Jingxi saw that Wen Yantong was getting farther and farther away, so he also became anxious.

Seeing that Chi Jingxi was difficult to deal with, most of those people went to help. However, there were also a few who couldn't make it to the front, so they naturally wanted to ‘clean up’ Wen Yantong.

Once she saw a person was slashing a knife in front of her, Wen Yantong let out a scream. She blocked with her knife instinctively and the man's knife hit hers. The blade buzzed with huge force, Wen Yantong’s arm shook, instantly feeling numb.

The second person wanted to chop off her arm when he saw this. Wen Yantong was so frightened that she dropped the knife and retracted her hand. She then saw the second person slash the face of the man in front of her with his knife. The blade slashed from the nose to the left ear, and immediately cut his face in half.

Wen Yantong took a few steps back in fright. Seeing that his comrades made a mistake, a third person from the back rushed to make up for it. He wanted to continue to attack Wen Yantong, unfortunately the man whose face was cut was too flustered because of the severe pain. He wildly waved his weapon and cut diagonally into the third man's neck from behind. The third man fell to the ground, clutched his neck and twitched for a while, then died in front of Wen Yantong.

The smell of blood was quite rusty. It permeated the air, wrapping Wen Yantong's nose with its sticky scent.

Seeing two of his comrades down, the second man who accidentally made a blunder rushed towards her again with the knife. However there seemed to have been something on the ground that caused him to trip. His neck was penetrated by one of the fallen men’s knives and soon passed.

Seeing three of his brethrens fall down in front of her, another man hurriedly filled the vacancy, and rushed to attack her. Unexpectedly, a man from Chi Jingxi's side was kicked in the shoulder. After rolling back twice, the large sword in his hand pierced the fourth person's left side. With this, another man passed.

Before he died, the fourth man stared at Wen Yantong who was standing not far away with a panicked face. A thought suddenly emerged in his dying mind.

This kid might be cursed.
