Chapter 144: Chapter 147 Pull Him Out

"Where is he?"

"It’s that fatty, take him down for me!"

"Right, the one who hit Brother Shui just now is that fatty, go and chop him up!"

"......"

Just as Xiao Yi’s thoughts were stirring, a clamorous noise suddenly erupted from a nearby alley. His brows immediately furrowed.

"Classmate Tang, you better run!"

Li Ling also heard the noise, and as she looked up, she saw a dozen or so people swaggering towards them, armed with fruit knives and iron rods. Her face paled, and she urgently pushed Fatty Tang.

Fatty Tang had not expected that Brother Shui would really call so many people, and so quickly at that. Seeing their imposing approach and the weapons in their hands, his face showed a flicker of fear. However, looking at Li Ling who was pushing him frantically, how could he run away alone and leave her behind? If he ran away, those thugs would definitely not spare her!

He glanced at Xiao Yi, who gave him an encouraging look, and his courage grew. Standing his ground, he reassured Li Ling, "It’s okay, we don’t need to be afraid of them, my old..."

He was about to say, my boss is very strong in a fight, those thugs are definitely no match for my boss, but before he could finish the word "boss," Xiao Yi interrupted him. Xiao Yi, who had been silent up until this point, smiled at Li Ling and said, "Classmate Li, you two old classmates haven’t seen each other for such a long time. It’s not easy to meet, and you haven’t had a good chat yet. Besides, I still want to taste your cooking, so how can I leave now."

As he spoke, he cast a meaningful glance at Fatty Tang.

Fatty Tang immediately understood. Xiao Yi was giving him a chance to show himself and did not want to pull him into this. He couldn’t help but feel deeply touched, yet at the same time, he was worried. It would be great to show his best side in front of the girl he liked, but could he handle these thugs?

While he was wavering, he suddenly felt Xiao Yi pat him gently on the back, and he instantly realized that Xiao Yi would surely help him secretly. His courage soared once more. He now revered Xiao Yi’s martial arts skills to an absolute extent. A single kick from Xiao Yi that could send a man weighing over 100 jin flying, a kick that could break two bricks like Li Han’s leg seemed broken by it, causing him to walk abnormally for days. Even Young Master Li of the Taekwondo Club, who was said to be unbeatable in Z University, was no match for him. What kind of level was this?

"You fat bastard, you’ve got guts! Did you really not run away!"

As this thought crossed his mind, the thugs had already rushed over, with Brother Shui, who Fatty Tang had punched earlier, looking at him with a vicious expression.

"Didn’t you hear what I said earlier? Don’t ever show up here again. If you do, I’ll beat you to death. You actually dared to show up; are you asking for death?"

Now confident with Xiao Yi backing him, Fatty Tang let go of all restraint and retorted to the vicious-faced Brother Shui.

"Good, good, good, you fatso, if I don’t take you down today, then I, Brother Shui, might as well have been fooling around!"

Leading his gang with fierce momentum, Brother Shui expected to see Fatty Tang turn pale with fright, kneel down to beg for mercy, or turn tail and run. Instead, he heard Fatty Tang talk back at him with a mocking tone. Brother Shui felt as if smoke was about to billow from his nostrils and his lungs were about to explode. Without another word, he simply waved his hand.

The hooligans following Brother Shui, wielding weapons and expecting Fatty Tang to cower in fear at such a formidable show of force, were infuriated by Fatty Tang’s arrogance, appearing utterly dismissive. Each one was itching to beat Fatty Tang senseless, and upon seeing their leader’s gesture, the two in front armed with machetes and another with a steel rebar swung viciously at Fatty Tang.

As he watched his goons swing, a vicious, cruel smile crept onto Brother Shui’s face. Fatso, I’ll let you be cocky, I’ll let you run your mouth—you’re a dead man today!

In his mind’s eye, Brother Shui could already see Fatty Tang bloodied, clutching his head, and rolling on the ground, howling in agony.

"Ah!"

Li Ling, standing by, couldn’t bear to watch as the henchmen hacked at Fatty Tang with machetes and let out a scream, covering her face.

However, just when everyone thought that Fatty Tang was done for, even Fatty Tang himself, standing in the middle and freezing as he saw the chilling machetes and the sharp rebar coming at him, a sudden shift occurred. The attackers’ hands halted, their grip weakened, and at that same moment, Fatty Tang heard Xiao Yi’s voice ring next to his ear, "Act now, grab the steel rebar from that guy, and lash these people hard!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s booming command, Fatty Tang immediately sprang into action. He took a big step forward to meet the man with the steel rebar, grabbed it with one swift motion, yanked it to take it for himself, and swung it hard at the arms of the three attackers, striking each one fiercely.

Accompanied by two sharp clatters of the machetes hitting the ground, the three thugs simultaneously wrapped their arms around their right hands, letting out an earth-shattering cry of pain.

This abrupt change stunned all the hoodlums completely.

The recent event had transpired in a flash, the hands of the three attackers went soft only momentarily, and no one had a clear view of what had just happened. They only saw Fatty Tang, as if divinely empowered, seizing the steel rebar and decisively whipping the three men into screams of misery.

No one anticipated that Fatty Tang would be so fierce!

The gang leader was also taken aback, terror drumming in his heart. But as he saw his multitude of comrades with him, his confidence swiftly returned. Gritting his teeth, he charged at Fatty Tang first, shouting, "Brothers, all together now, take him down! This fat guy is alone, don’t be scared of him!"

The leader’s words and action snapped the dazed hoodlums back to their senses. Their expressions grew more ferocious, and they surged toward Fatty Tang with veins throbbing in rage.

Fatty Tang, having successfully taken down three men, was brimming with self-assurance. However, as the dozen or so men suddenly surrounded him, he started to get nervous and a bit dazed; just then, Xiao Yi’s voice echoed in his ear again, "Don’t be afraid, pick them off one by one!"

Heartened by Xiao Yi’s words, Fatty Tang’s spirits surged, his eyes gleamed with excitement. He raised the steel rebar and charged at the gang, unleashing a fierce barrage of blows. (To be continued.
