"What you fear will come true."
Seeing Li Hu and his two companions surrounding him from the front and left, Zhang Lingshan's heart sank and he tightly grasped the stone axe in his left sleeve.
He secretly made this stone axe using scraps when he was moving stones and wood in Hongye Temple, in order to prevent a situation like today from happening again.
As an honest man who traveled from modern society, he had never seen such a chaotic world, so he had been living in fear for the past six months, always feeling that there were dangers everywhere and he was insecure at any moment.
Living in this mental state, he couldn't sleep well every night. He dreamed of being hacked to death or killing others.
To do this, he had to get something for himself so that he could feel more at ease.
He holds a stone axe in his left hand and a small knife hidden in his right sleeve, always ready to deal with danger.
And today, these preparations came in handy.
"father."
Zhang Lingshan was suddenly stunned, looked behind Li Hu with a look of surprise, and then took two steps forward.
Li Hu couldn't help but look back in surprise.
At this moment, he felt a strong wind blowing on his head. He turned around quickly and saw a stone axe hitting his forehead.
Bang!
The stone axe was firmly engraved on his forehead.
But then there was a loud snap, and the stone axe broke.
I don’t know if Zhang Lingshan used too much force or if the wooden handle was made of rubbish.
This sudden change was beyond Zhang Lingshan's expectations. He had originally planned to kill him with an axe and then turn around to deal with another one, but now he had to raise the knife in his right hand and stab it hard into Li Hu's neck.
laugh!
The knife was drawn out.
Puff puff puff.
Blood is flowing out for free.
Li Hu covered his neck and stepped back several steps, with an expression of fear and disbelief on his pale face, and then he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Murder!"
A shrill scream came from a passerby in the distance, waking Wang Datou, Li Xiaole and the other two ruffians from their shock.
The cowardly scoundrel on the left was so frightened that his face turned pale and his feet were rooted to the ground. They were clearly here to rob others, but how could they be killed before they could even start?
Who is the bad guy?
Why did this short guy who had always followed his father around and looked harmless, honest and simple suddenly become so fierce?
Boom boom boom.
Before the cowardly rascal could figure out what was going on, he saw Zhang Lingshan rushing towards him with a knife in his hand and a ferocious look on his face. His expression was so ferocious, as if he was a demon.
"ah!"
The cowardly rascal screamed in horror and turned to run, but in his haste he tripped and fell, and was stabbed in the back by Zhang Lingshan who had come to rescue him.
Puff puff puff!
I heard the sound coming from behind me.
It turned out that Zhang Lingshan was afraid that he could not kill the opponent, so he lay on top of him and slashed at him madly until the scoundrel was silent.
"There's one last one."
Zhang Lingshan climbed up, panting, and looked at the last ruffian with a grunt. Then he said to Wang Datou and Li Xiaole, "Don't just stand there, you two. Catch that guy."
"Ah, yes."
The two men dared not disobey and hurried to the left and right sides to block the ruffian.
The ruffian saw his two companions being killed and was surrounded by three people. He had no courage to resist at all and his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
He saw Zhang Lingshan's condescending and indifferent gaze and quickly shouted, "Brother, spare my life! I'm not in the same group as them. I'm just passing by..."
"Take off your clothes."
Zhang Lingshan ordered.
The ruffian was stunned, but seeing that the other party was not joking, he quickly obeyed.
After the man took off all his clothes, Zhang Lingshan put them away, then stepped forward and stabbed the knife into his throat.
With the two previous practices, and with a calm mind and the advantage, Zhang Lingshan carefully practiced his moves. However, the knife still failed to kill the man with one blow. The man covered his neck and howled for a long time before dying.
This made Zhang Lingshan feel emotional and reflective.
The first actual combat drill was completely different from the simulated killing in the house. After the crazy secretion of adrenaline, the whole body's limbs were out of control.
Obviously, all the bad guys are dead and the crisis has been resolved, but my hands are still shaking, my heart is pounding, and my whole body is trembling.
It turns out that I am still too inexperienced and need to practice cooking more.
Fortunately, it was his first time killing someone, so it was understandable.
The reason why I was able to succeed in the battle today was thanks to the experience of counterattacking in nightmares every day, which made me come to the conclusion that "no matter how perfect the counterattack is, it is not as good as striking first."
Otherwise, even if I had hidden my knife and axe today, I would not be able to defeat the three of them if I didn't launch a sneak attack.
Not to mention those two followers, Li Hu is indeed a fierce leader with a good reputation.
You have to know that all the adults working as laborers in Hongye Temple are stronger than Zhang Lingshan. They don't dare to confront Li Hu to borrow money, for fear of offending him and being retaliated against.
The reason why I was able to rid the people of harm today was, firstly, that I took advantage of the other party's underestimation of the enemy and launched a sneak attack, and secondly, that I really dared to kill people.
"Ashan... Shan, Brother Shan, the blood on your face..."
Wang Datou suddenly reminded him, but Li Xiaole quietly pulled him and interrupted, "Brother Shan, I remembered that we have some urgent matters at home, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he pulled Wang Datou and turned around and ran, not wanting to stay there for another second.
Wang Datou wanted to say something, but when he saw the three corpses, he didn't dare to say anything more. He ran away, leaving only a warning: "Brother Shan, the smell of blood will attract dirty things... It's getting dark..."
Zhang Lingshan's heart trembled.
Wang Datou is right, we have to leave here quickly.
He hurriedly searched the corpse and found a few pieces of silver. Then he took off his bloodstained clothes, wiped the blood off his face, changed into the clean clothes that the scoundrel had worn before, and ran towards Jincheng.
Finally, we entered the city before dark.
Jincheng is a big city, divided into inner city and outer city.
Zhang Lingshan's home was of course in the outer city. Although it was not in a remote corner of the slums, he still had to turn onto several main roads after entering the city, until he got to Qinghe Road and turned into Changning Street, and then he was almost home.
"Huh."
When he arrived at Qinghe Road, Zhang Lingshan was suddenly stunned when he saw Wang Datou and Li Xiaole.
He found something wrong with these two people.
Logically, since they were running so fast before, they should have reached home by now. But why didn't they go home? Instead, they kept running towards the west end of Qinghe Road with their heads down.
Isn't that a dead end?
Although he was confused, Zhang Lingshan didn't bother to pay attention to them. Instead, he followed his usual route and prepared to turn to Changning Street to go home.
But what horrified him was that the intersection, which used to be just a few steps away, could not be found today no matter how he walked. Instead, he was getting closer and closer to Wang Datou and the others.
It was as if the two of them had been standing still, and I was following them!
"What's going on?"
Zhang Lingshan was terrified.
People say that there are strange and evil things in this world, but I have never encountered any. Could it be that I am unlucky and won the prize today?
But he had already saved enough money and could go to the martial arts school to learn martial arts tomorrow. For this reason, his father went to Jinguang Temple alone.
They all tried their best to kill three people.
After doing so much, I am about to change my fate.
Why did I win the prize at this time?!
"Ashan, you're here too. Let's go together. We'll be home soon."
Li Xiaole's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
But his voice was different from usual, as if a hand was pinching his neck, making a sharp and hoarse sound, and like nails scratching against the wall, which made the listeners feel numb on the back and creepy.
Pop.
A hand suddenly rested on Zhang Lingshan's shoulder.
It’s Wang Datou’s hand.
But this hand was so cold that Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but shiver.
His heart couldn't help but tighten, as if a big hand was tightly grasping his heart.
Plop, plop!
The sound of the beating heart seemed to ring in his ears, deafening and making Zhang Lingshan's head buzz.
"Ghosts are merely energy entities that obscure our perception. As long as we ignore them..."
Zhang Lingshan muttered to himself.
But suddenly, Wang Datou's head fell in front of him, as if it was pulled by an invisible rope, hanging in front of his eyes and swaying.
Bang.
Li Xiaole's head followed closely behind.
I saw two heads shaking and colliding in the air, making crisp sounds, doing a fixed energy conservation motion, and occasionally emitting cheerful laughter: "Ashan, come on, let's join us."
"ah!!"
Zhang Lingshan's face changed drastically, his eyes became extremely ferocious, he let out a wild roar, and chopped Li Xiaole's head with a half-broken stone axe in his hand.
Damn, ghosts are afraid of evil people!
I've been moving bricks for half a year and finally had enough money to learn martial arts and change my fate. How can I die here?
No matter what evil spirits you are, just die!
Clink!
The air was filled with the sounds of Zhang Lingshan roaring to boost his courage and madly smashing his head.
I don’t know how long it took…
Da da da.
The sound of crisp footsteps suddenly came from a very far distance, like stones being thrown into an empty valley.
In an instant, Zhang Lingshan suddenly woke up and looked over.
