Chapter 376: Chapter 258: Reward Received!_2

"Long Hair Brother, shall we deal with the one in the car first?"

Long Hair shook his head, stating calmly:

"Tonight, we only want the Dragon Head Staff; we don’t care about the rest!"

"Alright then."

Li Ping’an let out a sigh of relief in secret.

As the knight approached within twenty meters of Long Hair, Li Ping’an, and the others, Long Hair tilted his head:

"Whoever gets the Dragon Head Staff will be Big D Brother’s benefactor! He will surely support him to be the next one in charge!"

The six Knife-hands, faced with such a temptation, instantly pulled out their machetes, and stood in a line in the middle of the road, waiting for the knight to get close.

But Li Ping’an wasn’t buying it:

Damn! Do you think you’re the drawing cake master, Ah Le?

The final roar!

The knight stopped his vehicle in front of them, took off his helmet, gave a warning glance back at Jimmy in the car, then stepped forward determinedly with his machete towards the six Knife-hands.

"I’m doing this for the gang!"

Following Airplane’s confident declaration, he engaged in battle with the six Knife-hands. Li Ping’an faced a choice:

Engage with Airplane and be finished by him, or if he didn’t engage, Long Hair and Big D would never let him off afterward.

So he pretended to surround Airplane with the six Knife-hands, flailing his machete around amidst their fight:

"Hack the damn thing! Yeah! Hack the damn thing!"

Long Hair, seeing he had the numbers, was confident they could take down Airplane even without Li Ping’an pitching in, so he didn’t blame the cowardly Li Ping’an.

Being in the thick of it, Li Ping’an realized just how strong Airplane’s fighting ability really was!

Like a god of war, he turned the place into an Asura Field, and even after knocking down two Knife-hands and being seriously wounded, he still feared nothing.

Airplane’s eyes were piercing and fearless. After glancing at the machete on his shoulder, he sternly and expressionlessly glared at Li Ping’an and the other two injured Knife-hands, asserting:

"I’m doing this for the gang!"

Then Airplane drove the machete into the spine of one Knife-hand, who howled in pain.

Airplane’s action was a display of his bravery and a threat to Li Ping’an and others to back off immediately, or they would end up like that Knife-hand.

Li Ping’an involuntarily stepped back at the sight of such a killing god:

Is this Airplane, or a Gundam?

Although Airplane’s actions were ruthless, they also ignited the remaining four Knife-hands’ fighting spirits. The two sides clashed again, with Li Ping’an closely following at a distance of five meters.

As time passed, three of the remaining four Knife-hands were killed by Airplane, leaving only one injured Knife-hand and Li Ping’an capable of fighting the blood-soaked Airplane.

Watching all this from a distance was Fire Bull, frowning deeply. He realized he had underestimated Airplane’s combat strength and, wanting to get the Dragon Head Staff quickly, he urged Li Ping’an and the last Knife-hand:

"Airplane is done for! It’s your turn to make a contribution! Go now!"

Li Ping’an gave a bitter smile upon hearing that. He knew a bleeding tiger or wounded lion was the most dangerous because they would fight back fiercely.

Furthermore, according to the movie’s plot, Airplane never died in the end, so charging in now would be like throwing his life away. He feigned a couple of steps forward, waving his machete wildly to intimidate Airplane.

The last Knife-hand thought this was his chance, believing that even as fierce as Airplane was, he was no longer a match for him now, so he yelled and charged forward.

But as soon as he advanced, he was knocked down by Airplane.

Airplane, seemingly on the verge of running out of strength, knelt on the ground, supporting his body with the machete to prevent falling, his gaze fixed on the last Knife-hand, Li Ping’an.

"Salty Qin, you delayed Big D’s business. I can’t protect you! Get over here!"

Long Hair’s urgent prompting sounded like a death knell to Li Ping’an, yet he dared not advance; if he did, with his weakness, he would easily be overthrown by Airplane with a single slash.

This time, the copy was going to fail!

This was something Li Ping’an couldn’t accept!

"Got it!"

Li Ping’an’s first choice wasn’t to go up and fight for his life with Airplane, but to help up the injured Knife-hands on the ground, encouraging them as he did so:

"Whoever takes down Airplane is Big D Brother’s benefactor, and will be second only to Big D Brother in the gang!"

"Now I’m giving you guys this chance. Airplane is almost done for, just go and deliver the final blow!!"

The two Knife-hands propped up by Li Ping’an believed his words without a doubt, as after all, Li Ping’an’s status was second only to Long Hair.

Moreover, Airplane really was close to his limit, bleeding profusely all over, and looked like he was about to collapse!

"Thanks to Brother Qin for nurturing me!"

After expressing their gratitude, the two Knife-hands charged forward, injured bodies and all.

"Phew!"

Li Ping’an let out a long sigh of relief, having successfully duped the two men.

At the exact moment when the two Knife-hands charged at the struggling Airplane, Jimmy, who had been lurking in the shadows, suddenly stomped on the accelerator. While Airplane was dueling with the two Knife-hands, he hit them directly, sending them flying, utterly overpowered by physics.

With a bang!

Jimmy wanted to knock Li Ping’an flying as well, but Li Ping’an was prepared and, with a roll, successfully dodged the impact.

"That scared me to death!"

After confirming that Jimmy’s target was Long Hair, Li Ping’an got up with his knife in hand and confronted Airplane, still not daring to move forward.

"Jimmy! Are you trying to stand against Big D Brother?!"

It was only then that Long Hair saw the person in the car. As he tried to draw his knife and join the fight, Jimmy pinned Long Hair against the car hood, trapped between the van behind and the car in front, unable to move his legs.

Jimmy swiftly got out of the car, grabbed a nearby trash bin, and placed it over Long Hair, then stood on it and started stomping hard.

"I’m working for the gang!"

Seeing that only Li Ping’an was left, Airplane mustered his last bit of energy and lunged rapidly towards Li Ping’an with his knife.

"I’m fucking working for the gang too!"

Knowing that Airplane was desperate for a kill and would surely try to take him down, Li Ping’an grabbed a Knife-hand and used him as a shield before Airplane’s strike.

Airplane’s long knife pierced through the chest of that Knife-hand, instantly killing him. Li Ping’an, who was hiding behind him, didn’t take the opportunity to kill Airplane. Instead, he frantically smeared the Knife-hand’s blood all over his own face and body.

This act surprised Airplane, who looked at Li Ping’an, puzzled.

"Brother Airplane, I know you just want people to recognize the great name of Airplane. I’ve admired you since your fight with the Fish Head of Fish Sect, and seeing your valor today has increased my respect for you even more. I can feel that you are definitely going to be a key player in the gang in the future. Let’s make friends today. I’m going to let you off the hook. I’ll explain it to Big D Brother myself—just say you wounded me!"

Airplane, a supremely confident and indifferent man, wasn’t the sharpest in Dragon City Years in terms of either emotional intelligence or IQ. But he was on his last legs and couldn’t be sure that he could kill Li Ping’an without dying himself.

Even if he killed Li Ping’an, he would miss the chance to get to the hospital and would end up dying anyway, so to save his own life and for the sake of his future dreams, he had no choice but to accept the favor from Li Ping’an.

"Good... good brother..."

After finishing his words, Airplane completely passed out.

"Phew! Thank heaven, I finally survived!"

Li Ping’an took a deep breath. He really wanted to finish off Airplane while he was unconscious, but thinking of Airplane’s unique charm, which both he and Jimmy admired greatly, he ultimately spared Airplane.
