“Next, are you going to say someone bought my leg?”
“And then don’t blame yourselves, only blame me for offending someone I shouldn’t have?”
The thugs exchanged glances, and the butterfly knives they had been twirling quickly flew out of their hands.
How did he know what they were about to say?
Seeing their reaction, Cheng Xing knew he had guessed correctly.
As for who did it, it was so hard to guess, he couldn't figure out who it was.
Cheng Xing’s completely unconventional approach made Chu Yanyan, who was behind him, cover her mouth, not daring to laugh out loud, showing no signs of nervousness.
Chu Yanyan’s actions attracted the attention of the thugs, and when they saw the appearance of the person behind him, their eyes were filled with naked greed.
“What a hot chick, this business deal is a huge profit!”
“I’m going first!”
“Why should you go first?”
...
Listening to the thugs’ vulgar words, Cheng Xing’s brows furrowed, his face was icy, and the temperature in the entire alley seemed to drop significantly.
“Strange, why is it so chilly?” one thug asked, puzzled.
“Girl, step back a bit.”
Cheng Xing said coldly, preparing to strike, but was quickly held back by Chu Yanyan who grabbed his sleeve.
“Let Uncle Li teach them a lesson, don’t take risks.”
Chu Yanyan said with a worried expression; these thugs seemed to be around level three or four based on their aura, and if Cheng Xing were to act, he would definitely get injured.
Looking at her worried expression, Cheng Xing gave a bitter smile. It seemed he needed to find a time to come clean, at least fabricate an S-rank talent.
Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry would come up and mock him, and he really didn't like playing the pig to eat the tiger, even though it was quite satisfying.
“Alright, I’m confident, I’ll tell you later.”
Cheng Xing patted Chu Yanyan’s hand, speaking softly.
Seeing Cheng Xing’s confident gaze, Chu Yanyan finally let go.
“So you want to be a hero, huh?”
“Damn it, do you think this is a novel? What kind of performance is this, let’s go!”
The thugs looked at the two of them being affectionate, and were furious, immediately attacking together.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The next moment, four of the five thugs flew out, hitting the wall with a dull thud, and after landing, they curled up on the ground, letting out cries of agony.
The other thug, who had crouched down to pick up a knife, didn't rush forward immediately.
“You guys wait for me... a moment?”
The thug finished picking up his knife and stood up, but before he could finish his sentence, he found all his companions lying on the ground, and the words he hadn't finished saying were swallowed back.
Looking at Cheng Xing, who was so close, the thug felt his legs go weak, his mouth dry, and the knife in his hand almost slipped.
“Brother, do you want to see a show? I’m really good with a knife.”
What responded to him was a fist as big as a sandbag.
Looking at the five thugs lying on the ground, Chu Yanyan ran and jumped to Cheng Xing’s side, her peach blossom eyes wide, surprise turning into stars in her eyes, and her small mouth was agape in an “O” shape.
When did Cheng Xing become so powerful?
“Clap, clap, clap~”
However, before Cheng Xing could explain, applause sounded from the dark alley.
The next moment, a figure descended from the sky, landing in the alley.
This person’s aura was not strong, approximately level 8. But upon seeing this person, Cheng Xing’s brows furrowed.
He sensed killing intent; this person in front of him had killed before.
“This business lost money.”
Sang Biao looked at his subordinates lying on the ground, saying with a tone of disappointment.
Although he didn't know Cheng Xing's level, the employer told him that the target this time was just a newly Awakened student.
How strong could a student without a background be? So he didn't think much and sent his subordinates to handle it.
He didn't expect it to backfire.
There was no choice but for him to take action.
“Kid, you were wrong, it’s not that someone bought your leg.”
“It’s that they bought your life!”
Sang Biao said viciously, then quickly stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Xing’s neck. His speed was so fast that Chu Yanyan, who was beside him, hadn’t even reacted.
“So beautiful, what a pity, you all have to die.”
Sang Biao glanced at Chu Yanyan, unable to help but sigh.
At this moment, Chu Yanyan began to panic.
“Do you know that within the base, Awakeners are forbidden from killing each other?”
However, Cheng Xing gently patted Chu Yanyan’s hand, looking at Sang Biao who was close by, and said calmly.
“So what? If he wasn’t an Awakener, I wouldn’t even bother killing him!”
Sang Biao clearly didn't notice anything, he sneered and said coldly.
“Oh, so you’ve killed a lot?”
“Of course, you’re not the first, and you won’t be the last.”
“Wait! Are you trying to trick me into talking?”
Sang Biao was talking volubly when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Why was this kid so calm?
“Die!”
Sang Biao decided to stop talking nonsense and exerted force on his hand, wanting to directly strangle Cheng Xing.
However, Cheng Xing’s neck was like steel, and no matter how much force he applied, there was no reaction.
“You’re not an ordinary person!”
At this moment, Sang Biao’s alarm bells rang. His first thought was to retreat, but a hand had somehow rested on his wrist, and no matter how much force he exerted, he couldn't break free.
“Who exactly are you?!” Sang Biao began to panic.
“Who I am isn’t important, what’s important is that you’re in big trouble.”
Cheng Xing said coldly, not expecting to encounter a Fallen so soon.
“You are a Fallen!”
At this moment, Chu Yanyan, who had been silent behind him, finally reacted and looked at Sang Biao in surprise.
With the identity of the Fallen revealed in a single sentence, both Cheng Xing and Sang Biao were startled.
Cheng Xing didn't expect Chu Yanyan to also know about the existence of the Fallen.
Taking advantage of Cheng Xing’s momentary In a daze, Sang Biao gritted his teeth, pulled out a knife from his waist, and fiercely slashed at his own arm.
“Sacrificing an arm to escape?”
Sang Biao clutched his arm and quickly retreated, but the next moment, Cheng Xing’s aura leaked out, and his figure instantly caught up.
“You’re actually level 13!”
After Sang Biao felt Cheng Xing’s aura, the system’s feedback appeared, and the words “Level 13” above Cheng Xing’s head filled him with despair.
“It’s over this time.”
The next moment, a huge force came from his waist, and Sang Biao felt as if he had been hit by a truck, flying out several meters and landing on the ground, losing his combat ability.
At this moment, Chu Yanyan also saw Cheng Xing’s level, her cherry lips slightly parted, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of surprise.
After dealing with Sang Biao, Cheng Xing then restrained his aura, and the level above his head disappeared.
“Young Miss!”
At this moment, Uncle Li, who had been searching for a long time, finally found them after hearing the commotion of the fight. Seeing Chu Yanyan safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially when he saw the thugs on the ground and the disarmed Sang Biao, he was even more terrified.
He couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Cheng Xing.
At this moment, a phone rang, and Chu Yanyan and Uncle Li subconsciously took out their phones, only to find that neither was theirs.
Then, under their surprised gazes, Cheng Xing took out his own phone.
“Hello? Cheng Xing? Have you offended anyone recently? Someone has been checking your identity information.”
