Chapter 213: Desperate
The sense of danger came from behind him, but he was unable to tell what it was with his body in midair. In his mind, he remembered that there was only a captive that he had beaten so badly that he was left with a dying breath. Upon thinking about the captive, he relaxed. What could a half-dead person do to him?
He turned his waist and landed on his right leg. In that instant, he suddenly turned behind with his blade and stabbed at the target behind him.
“Pu…..” A soft sound came out, the blade tip stabbed into the person’s body. He turned his wrists, thinking to throw the half-dead person out, but he felt that his blade had been clamped tightly by the half-dead person’s chest muscles.
Right when he exerted more strength to pull the sword out of Guo Fei’s chest, Guo Fei opened his arms and grabbed him and suddenly garnered a strength and held him down. That was when Zhang Xiao Qiang’s third Triangular Spike came.
The man immediately sensed the danger from behind him but was locked down by Guo Fei. “BANG….” He used his forehead and smashed Guo Fei’s forehead, inducing pain in Guo Fei, but Guo Fei gritted his teeth and never loosened his strength at all.
With Guo Fei not letting go, the man became anxious. He turned his body once more, from his back completely towards Zhang Xiao Qiang, he became slanted. One of the three Triangular Spikes stabbed into his shoulder while the other two lodged onto Guo Fei’s body. Guo Fei did not react to them at all, he only had the man in his eyes, occasionally looking towards the blazing fire at the side.
“AHHH….” Guo Fei screamed while holding onto the man tightly and rolling towards the large fire together. The man’s heart was filled with endless fear.
“Bang…..Bang….Bang…..”
Guo Fei held onto him as they rolled towards the fire. The man kept on smashing his forehead against Guo Fei, causing blood to flow out from Guo Fei’s head. The blood had long blinded him and prevented him from seeing anything. He could only rely on his skin to roll towards the ground where it was hotter. Seeing that they were getting closer to the fire, the man screamed in despair.
The blade that had been dyed blood red was no longer in the man’s hand. His skills relied completely on his fast speed. But after being held down by Guo Fei, he found himself being unable to struggle free, even if he had the ability to sense danger, it was useless.
The man continued to scream seeing that they were closer to the flames. His screams were filled with endless fear. Don’t think that just because he could smile while chopping a person’s head in two or just because he could dodge a rain of arrows that he would be fearless. At the end of the road and being helpless, he was actually even more afraid of death than anyone else.
The two rolling men rolled into a pool of blood. The man continued to use all of his strength to smash Guo Fei’s head. A spell of dizziness struck Guo Fei to the point that he almost fainted. He had no idea as to how far the fire was, he did not know how badly injured he was. But he knew that he had to bring the man into hell with him.
The more they rolled, the stronger the sense of fainting. He had long lost perception to everything around him, aside from the increasing sensation of heat from his skin, he could not feel anything else. Even after stopping due to colliding into a corpse, he was unaware of it.
While Guo Fei and the man were interlocked and rolling to the fire, Zhang Xiao Qiang tried to chase after them. With the last weapon in hand, the three Triangular Spikes that he recovered, he ran towards them. He witnessed the two of them colliding into a corpse and Guo Fei laid there unmovingly while the man struggled free from Guo Fei’s arms and climbed up.
The man was no longer as neat and tidy as he was before. His black and shiny hair was dirtied from the soil and dust from the ground while the blood had turned his hair into a messy birds nest. His face was covered completely with blood that belonged to both Guo Fei and him, while his black and tight fitting clothes were completely infused with blood and soil. After standing up, he gasped for breath while watching Zhang Xiao Qiang run towards him. His right hand reached out for his back and a Type-92 Pistol appeared in his hand.
“Pa Pa Pa….”
The pistol in his hand unleashed bullets endlessly, while Zhang Xiao Qiang lifted his arm to cover his face while running. He threw out the Three Triangular Spikes in his right hand and the instant they left his hand, Zhang Xiao Qiang felt a warmth in his chest. Three 9mm bullets had struck him.
The burning bullets just happened to pass through the seams of the beast hide on his chest and got stuck. Zhang Xiao Qiang could almost hear the skin on his chest sizzling with the heat emitted out from the bullet. The man avoided two of the three Triangular Spikes but was unable to avoid the last one, which he used the pistol’s body to defend against.
“Ding….” A loud high pitched sound came out. The Triangular Spike collided with the pistol, which resulted in the pistol dropping to the ground.
The two of them no longer had weapons in hand. Zhang Xiao Qiang increased his speed and ran at the man. No longer having the same courage to pit against Zhang Xiao Qiang, the man turned his body towards the door with the intent of running away.
Suddenly, a pair of hands covered with blood and soil grabbed onto his left leg. It was Guo Fei, he was abruptly awoken by the blazing heat of the flames. He was unaware that Zhang Xiao Qiang was already engaged in a final battle with the man.
Through his bloodied vision, he saw the man’s legs. He subconsciously pounced and grabbed onto one of them, unaware of what use it would do, but he just did it so, tightly hanging onto it.
“Ha….” Zhang Xiao Qiang did not see Guo Fei hugging onto the man’s leg, his eyes were fixed onto the man’s bloodied eyes. In his run, he leaped upwards and jumped into the air. His upper body leaned backward slightly, his left leg bent and his right leg straightened as he kicked the man who remained stationary.
“DONG….” Zhang Xiao Qiang kicked the man’s chest ferociously, causing him to stumble backward multiple steps.
Guo Fei was still holding onto the man’s leg, adding that the man was forced to take a few steps backward. The man tripped and stumbled over the corpse and finally fell down. On the floor, he kicked Guo Fei in the face. Guo Fei rolled away from him, but before the man could stand, a large foot kicked his abdomen.
The man went into a fetal position and wailed in pain. He accidentally rolled to the side of the blazing fire. Seeing the man so near the fire, Zhang Xiao Qiang rushed up and kicked him once more, directly sending the man into the flames….. The man struggled like a fanatic inside the flames. Zhang Xiao Qiang turned and walked over to the silver pistol that was thrown and picked it up. It was at that moment where Zhang Xiao Qiang realized that the sky was already bright. Looking at the time on the watch, he realized that he had fought the man for more than half an hour, which was also Zhang Xiao Qiang’s most bitter fight against a fellow human.
