374: Chapter 374: Breaking Out of Prison with a Single Kick 374: Chapter 374: Breaking Out of Prison with a Single Kick The people around were starting to lose their composure.

They had all been captured and detained here, and since being captured, they had essentially given up.

They never expected someone like Xiang Yu to show up claiming to be there to rescue someone, followed by another quiet kid who said he had come in voluntarily.

They’d seen people show off before, but never to such an absurd extent.

Moreover, that guy sitting in the corner seemed to be staying very calm, as if his act was truly an art form.

For a moment, everyone was stirred up, with some being sarcastic and others mocking, wholly disbelieving what the two were saying, as if both were dreaming.

But Xiang Yu and his companion paid no attention to the others around them and continued talking to themselves.

“Being so lazy at such a young age isn’t good,” Xiang Yu said with a laugh.

The man looked up at Xiang Yu and then asked, “Are you really here to save your brother?”

“Of course, my brother was captured by them, so naturally, I came to rescue him,” Xiang Yu replied, sitting on the ground opposite the man.

“Do you know that these people are merciless killers?

They might just kill you.

You won’t just fail to save your brother, but you’ll also end up losing your life here,” the man said to Xiang Yu.

“Can’t help it.

They said if I didn’t come, they would skin my brother alive.

If I come, the worst that could happen is that I die—nothing to worry about,” Xiang Yu said serenely, as if death wasn’t a threat to him at all.

“Your kind isn’t common nowadays,” the man remarked with a glint in his eyes, then took another look at Xiang Yu.

“You’re wrong.

It’s not that such people are rare; it’s just that you haven’t noticed them.

At least all of my brothers are like that,” Xiang Yu declared proudly with a smile.

The other captives admired Xiang Yu’s composure—at a time like this, he still had the mindset to chat idly.

They couldn’t tell whether this kid was out of his mind or truly had nerves of steel.

“How come no one has come to save you now that you’re locked up here?” the man asked, somewhat skeptically.

It was then that Xiang Yu suddenly smiled, stood up, and said, “I told you, I came here to save someone today, not to be saved.”

Xiang Yu spoke and then took a small object out of his mouth, the very thing he had used to cut the rope earlier.

It looked like a piece of wire, but it was very sharp.

Xiang Yu wielded it and casually unlocked the large iron lock on the door.

It took less than a minute, but Xiang Yu was somewhat dissatisfied with himself.

If it had been before, it would have taken, at most, thirty seconds because he was out of practice.

The people around were staring wide-eyed and gaping at Xiang Yu, who by now stood outside.

“Could it be that he really is here to rescue someone?”

“His technique was so quick, he must be someone significant.”

The captives looked at Xiang Yu in shock, no longer questioning what he had said.

Instead, they were all wondering how he would manage to rescue his brother.

Xiang Yu walked to Wu Jing’s cell and easily unlocked it.

Up close, it became clear how severely Wu Jing was injured.

Xiang Yu looked on with concern; these injuries were the result of his own faulty decisions.

“I’m sorry, Big Yu, for causing you trouble again,” Wu Jing said, feeling guilty.

At that moment, words couldn’t describe Xiang Yu’s fury.

All he could think of was slaughter, but it wasn’t the right time.

“Can you walk?” Xiang Yu asked, worriedly looking at Wu Jing.

“Piece of cake, this is nothing,” Wu Jing said as he jumped out from the cell.

His clothes were torn, and blood seeped from his skin, likely from a whipping.

“Someone come quickly…”

Just at that moment, the man who had been beaten by Xiang Yu suddenly began to shout.

Xiang Yu didn’t want to kill him, but since the lad was asking for death, there was nothing he could do.

Just as Xiang Yu picked up a pebble and prepared to throw it at the man, he saw him collapse onto the ground, a pebble having pierced his neck—it was the work of that man from before.

“Thank you,” Xiang Yu said with a smile, looking toward the man sitting on the ground.

“Don’t mention it, I can help you get out,” the man said with a sudden smile.

The people around inhaled sharply at this sight, thinking, what the hell was going on?

A pebble could kill a man—as if they were in some fairytale—and they wouldn’t have believed it had they not seen it with their own eyes.

The crowd unconsciously stepped back, not wishing to provoke these two harbingers of doom.

Though they were all imprisoned here, they still hadn’t lived long enough.

“I’ll let you out,” Xiang Yu said, approaching the man’s cell after hearing he could take him out.

“No need, I can get out on my own,” the man replied, and then he kicked the door forcefully, which burst open in response.

Whether it was his tremendous kicking force or the poor quality of the lock, the door was shattered by his kick.

“Damn it,” Xiang Yu cursed because he could have easily unlocked the door and let the man out, but the lad had chosen a way that caused a great commotion, no different from the other chap’s shouting.

“Let’s go,” Xiang Yu said, then took the lead toward the outside.

“Hold on.” Just at that moment, someone yelled from deep within the prison.

The voice sounded like a middle-aged man, “I am Zhong Huashan, the one you’re here to rescue.”

When Xiang Yu heard this name, he immediately halted and quickly charged toward it.

“If you don’t leave now, you might not be able to at all,” the man said, turning his head and grinning at Xiang Yu, as if it made no difference to him whether they stayed or left.

Xiang Yu didn’t answer him; he quickly reached the depths and saw a middle-aged man standing there.

The man was quite tall with fair skin, and especially striking were his large, expressive eyes, which exuded an aura of authority without anger.

Xiang Yu recognized the man at once, as he bore a striking resemblance to Zhong Qin.

Although the man was middle-aged, he was still quite handsome, surely the image of a mature heartthrob in the eyes of many beautiful women.

Without saying much, Xiang Yu quickly unlocked the man’s chains and told him to hurry, before turning and heading back.

Zhong Huashan was a bit surprised to see Xiang Yu’s demeanor.

He had never met Xiang Yu before, and when Xiang Yu said he came to rescue him, Zhong had his doubts and did not immediately agree.

Moreover, he was skeptical of Xiang Yu’s abilities.

How could one man rescue him on his own?

It seemed absurd.

And even though the stranger claimed to be there to rescue him, he might as well have come to kill him—it was entirely possible.

But when Xiang Yu broke open the door and they all thought of leaving, Zhong Huashan became unsettled.

He felt it was time to take a risk.

If he didn’t, he might spend his life in captivity.

But if this young man truly came to rescue him, this could be a tremendous turning point.

He chose to take the risk and to trust Xiang Yu, no matter who he was.

As long as he was freed, they could discuss the rest later.

Yet he still found it odd.

Xiang Yu had risked his life to rescue him, but upon seeing him, the warmth he had expected was absent…
