Supreme Heir Son-in-law
Chapter 136: Hero Saves the Beauty

But the fact that her body was falling backward proved that all of this was really happening to her.

"Why?" When she fell back into the hands of the strong men and was being punched and kicked, Lin Mengyao struggled to keep her eyes open, looking in the direction of Li Lihua and asked.

"Don’t blame me, don’t blame me. I was just scared; I was coerced," Li Lihua shivered, looking at Lin Mengyao whose face was bruised yet still managed to keep her eyes wide open, Li Lihua couldn’t bear it anymore. She shouted, turned around, pushed through the crowd, and ran out.

Behind her, Lin Mengyao’s originally bright eyes turned completely dark.

"Kurozi, stop, beating someone to death on the street isn’t good, and our target has arrived." The man called Kurozi was pulled back, and only then did Kurozi stop his violent behavior but still turned and spat towards Lin Mengyao, "Stupid woman, still dare to run. Let’s see what you’ll do now, holding a stick."

Kurozi twisted his neck and looked fiercely at the bystanders recording with their phones, "If you keep recording, I’ll kill you!"

At that moment, Xu Ke, whose eyes were red from running all the way, finally broke through the crowd and reached the front of the strong men. Seeing Lin Mengyao lying on the ground, unsure if she was alive or dead, Xu Ke couldn’t suppress the murderous intent surging within him any longer.

"You shouldn’t have hit her," Xu Ke gritted his teeth, his gums bleeding from the exertion, and his voice was low and hoarse.

"So what if I did, she’s just a little girl. I heard you’re quite capable, made the Bai Feng Gang suffer a big loss trying to find you. Perfect timing, my hands have been itching; let me teach you a lesson today." Kurozi cracked his knuckles with a sadistic grin on his face.

"Kurozi, take it easy. We need to bring him to the boss alive," the person who had just persuaded Kurozi spoke again.

"Alright, alright, so nagging like a woman, I know," Kurozi said impatiently, then ran towards Xu Ke, his fist charged with force aimed directly at Xu Ke’s face.

In a blind rage, Xu Ke reacted without thinking, throwing his fist to meet the other’s punch. The sound of bones cracking echoed continuously, followed by an unending series of cracks. The cruel and bloodthirsty expression on Kurozi’s face was instantly replaced by astonishment, as his arm began to fracture inch by inch, stopping only when it reached his shoulder blade.

"How is this possible?" Kurozi said in disbelief, but the next second Xu Ke’s fist was already in front of him. When he wanted to dodge, he found that the opponent’s punch was too fast to evade, and more so, the force of the opponent’s punch hitting his cheek was even more ferocious. The next second, excruciating pain spread from the impact throughout his entire head, his vision blurred and darkened, and then he collapsed heavily to the ground.

It took just a moment, only two punches, for Kurozi to be taken down, lying on the ground covered in blood. If it weren’t for the faint rise and fall of his chest, they might have thought Kurozi was dead.

They had come with four people this time, and Xu Ke had taken one down. The remaining three exchanged glances, forming a triangular stance. Two stood at the front facing Xu Ke in a defensive posture, while the other grabbed Lin Mengyao by the collar, yanking her from the ground.

"We know your prowess, so we came prepared. Stand still now, don’t move, or I’ll snap her neck if you try anything," the man who had persuaded Kurozi said, placing his chilly fingers on Lin Mengyao’s neck and squeezing tighter. Lin Mengyao’s face gradually turned red.

"Stand still and surrender, hands on your head," the man shouted at Xu Ke.

Seeing Lin Mengyao’s face growing redder, with veins throbbing on his forehead and his breath turning into white mist that dissipated into the air, Xu Ke, no matter how furious he was inside, still followed the instructions, raising his hands.

The two standing at the front exchanged another look, approaching Xu Ke with their guard up. "Bang!" One of them suddenly kicked towards the back of Xu Ke’s knee. Xu Ke gritted his teeth tightly, enduring the blow silently.

Seeing that Xu Ke didn’t retaliate, the tension in their hearts eased, and even the stiffness in their movements relaxed quite a bit.

"Looks like the old woman wasn’t wrong; you really care about this girl. Truly, even heroes fall for beautiful women, tsk tsk tsk." The man restraining Lin Mengyao sneered, looking down on Xu Ke who gave up resistance standing there taking the beating for a woman.

"Li! Li! Hua!" Xu Ke’s face was punched, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and the intense murderous intent was evident on his face as he called Li Lihua’s name lowly, one word at a time. The thick aura of killing intent made the two assaulting him pause.

The crowd watching the commotion grew larger, but no one dared to report to the police. People who dare commit crimes in broad daylight are not ones they have the courage to provoke.

The woman restraining Lin Mengyao finally let go of her hold on her neck, perhaps because Xu Ke’s situation appeared too ragged, or Lin Mengyao’s half-squinted look seemed too weak and harmless, drawing all the man’s attention to Xu Ke, missing Lin Mengyao’s stealthy opening of her eyes.

"Ah!"

Just as Xu Ke continued enduring the beating, a man’s scream suddenly pierced the air, the two men reflexively paused their actions looking behind them, while Xu Ke lifted his bloodied face, seeing the man on the ground clutching his groin, writhing and howling in pain, and Lin Mengyao, with a swollen face that obscured her expression, continuing to viciously kick at that man’s groin.

With Lin Mengyao no longer a hostage, Xu Ke’s eyes darkened gradually. As one of them was about to approach Lin Mengyao, Xu Ke made a sudden move, landing a punch directly on the closest man’s temple. As that man experienced a momentary dizziness, Xu Ke wasted no time stepping forward and kicked directly at another man’s lower back.

Due to his previous injuries, Xu Ke’s leg lacked strength; the man didn’t fly out from the blow but was knocked directly to the ground.

"Tch!" Xu Ke spat out the blood from his mouth, his eyes filled with endless combat and murderous intent.
