Chapter 157: Normal People
A few seconds later, heavy footsteps ca from the staircase. They sounded like many pairs of boots. They ca upstairs. Jiang Cheng and Chen Xiaong were passive. They would be soon trapped by the villagers on the third-floor corridor.
Chen Xiaong and Jiang Cheng moved at the sa ti. They ran towards Room 307 which door was still open. Chen Xiaong grabbed the wooden chair beside the table and smashed it against the window. The chair flew out the building and landed with a thud on the ground. Chen Xiaong hoped that would grab the pedestrian’s attention.
However, when she looked out the broken window, her heart chilled. The pedestrians continued on like nothing was out of the ordinary. The hawkers kept shouting. Two won carrying grocery baskets walked past the broken wooden chair as if they couldn’t see the chair dumped in the middle of the road.
It was so strange. However, this was the nightmare realm.
Jiang Cheng yanked the blanket, swiped the oil lamp and rushed back into the corridor.
Chen Xiaong followed him. After all, they both knew that it would be worse for them to be trapped in the room.
At that mont, a few large n ca up the stairs. There were six of them. They had tanned skin. The leading man had a beard and hostility on his face. Jiang Cheng recognised two people behind him. When the village head led the people to put out the fire at the Qian Family Ancestral Hall, these two were part of the group.
However, they looked rather pitiful now. They had ashes on their faces, and their bodies were covered in small scratches. One of the n had a bloody leg. The wound was bound with bandages to stop the bleeding.
They stared at Jiang Cheng with hostility. However, when they looked at Chen Xiaong, the hostility disappeared and was replaced by a baser desire. Chen Xiaong gripped the hairpin.
“San Yazi!” A voice with suppressed anger ca from the stairs. The village head appeared on the top of the stairs, supported by the tanned man who had always been by his side. Jiang Cheng had once given him a stead bun.
The crowd spread apart. The village head stood in the middle with an angry visage. His fake kindness had fallen away. He just wanted to cut Jiang Cheng into pieces. The village head stared at Chen Xiaong. She would have to die too, but not before they had their fun.
“Dad,” the man with the beard had bloodshot eyes. “They’ve blown big brother into pieces, and second brother is heavily injured…”
Qian Jianguo, or the village head, hissed, “They have killed your fourth uncle as well. Go! Kill the man and capture the woman!
“The person who murders the man will get the woman!”
The n beca excited and charged forward with howls and jeers. Even though they were injured, the mountain people had great stamina. Their eyes popped with veins. So of them weren’t even ard. Perhaps they didn’t think they needed weapons to deal with two normal people.
However, Jiang Cheng and Chen Xiaong were not normal people. The corridor was so small that even though there were a lot of villagers, only three could fit in the corridor.
A muscular man in a brown shirt waved his fist at Jiang Cheng. In the man’s mind, Jiang Cheng would faint or even die after taking his fist. However, just as he thought that victory was his, the man before him flickered and evaded his punch. Then, a flash appeared before his eyes. He paused as he felt sothing warm around his throat. Blood spurted out. So of them even hit the ceiling. The life in the man’s eyes faded away. He knelt and fell to the floor, never getting up again.
Jiang Cheng’s blade glowed red. Everything happened in re monts. The other man who charged at Jiang Cheng didn’t even notice this. His ropy arm swung at Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng didn’t move and took the punch head-on.
Jiang Cheng didn’t react, but the man’s face changed. He felt like he was hitting a tree. While the man was stunned, Jiang Cheng elbowed the man in his chest. The man floated backwards. He was knocked into the wall behind him. His heart stopped for a mont. Sothing fell out of his clothes. It was a shredded part of a woman’s attire. It was black with lacy trim. It was so delicate that it didn’t look like it was manufactured in this era.
Jiang Cheng’s blade, aid at the man’s heart, halted. Sothing spread in Jiang Cheng’s eyes. His pupils shrunk. There was a flash, and the man lost his right arm. Just as he was about to scream, the blade accurately cut into the joint connecting his arm and shoulder. It squeezed into the bones. The tissues were shredded. Jiang Cheng didn’t hold back as he saw through the tendons.
The horrible scream echoed in his ears as Jiang Cheng elegantly wiped the blood from his face.
On the other hand, Chen Xiaong was also done with her opponent. It was the bearded man. Based on their conservation, the bearded man was the village head’s son. The man’s target had always been Chen Xiaong all along. However, Chen Xiaong was not a defenceless woman. After a few rounds, the girl accurately severed the man’s limb nerves. The man slumped on the ground like a cripple.
“San Yazi!” The village head also cried blood. He only had three sons. His eldest son was blown up by the mine at the village entrance. His second son was caught in the blast and was crippled from the waist down. Now, his third son…
“Dad… Help…” Before the bearded man could finish, he was interrupted by a scream. Chen Xiaong used the back of her heels to grind the man’s thumb.
The three muscular n were disposed of in re minutes. This was sothing the villagers didn’t expect.
Even though there were many of them, Jiang Cheng and Chen Xiaong had the village head’s son as their hostage.
The next second, with everyone looking on in shock, the expressionless Jiang Cheng picked up one of the lifeless n by his head and smashed his head firmly into the wall.
