Xin Yi honestly followed a few guards into the car. What else could he do? If his two future wives were in someone else's hands, he would be helpless too. Regardless of the dangers ahead, he was never one to back down. He thought to himself that if he ended up with a big scar, he could always take his two beautiful future wives and jump off a cliff together. After doing it once or twice, he would gain some experience. If they survived, he could write a book about it and sell it, titled "Let Me Jump Again."
When the car stopped at the entrance of the Military District Command, Xin Yi jumped out and strode towards Liu Dingbang's office. The four guards hurriedly followed him, fearing he might rush into the office and do something dangerous to Liu Dingbang. Suddenly, Xin Yi stopped and turned to look at the guards beside him, sneering, "You don't need to worry. If I wanted to do something to Liu Commander, do you really think you could stop me?"
These four men had been chosen from among many soldiers to be Liu Dingbang's personal guards, which meant they had some capability. They had never been looked down upon like this before. Hearing Xin Yi's words made their faces change color. One of them, who had less patience, clenched his fists, wishing he could punch Xin Yi in that annoying face. The guard next to him quickly grabbed his fist, signaling him not to act rashly.
However, Xin Yi seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble. He suddenly reached out and pinched the flesh on the face of the guard, twisting it hard while smiling and saying, "Are you thinking of making a move? If so, don’t hold back. But I can guarantee that within three seconds, you'll be lying on the ground unable to get up."
They had seen bullies before but never someone who bullied like this. This man was a legitimate special forces soldier; an average person could easily be taken down by ten or eight of them. Yet this seemingly not-so-strong man claimed he could make one of them lie on the ground within three seconds. No, this wasn't just bullying; it was outright humiliation. Not only was the guard whose face was being pinched furious, but even the one holding him back was angry! People live for their pride; for this statement alone, he thought about breaking discipline just this once.
"What? Are you scared?" Xin Yi continued to taunt. "If you're scared, then don't look at me with those eyes; your gaze should be filled with admiration because I am strong, and you are just!! Cowards!"
"You will pay for your arrogance today!" This time it was the third guard expressing his anger. This guard was the leader among them. They were currently in a corridor that required a turn to reach Liu Dingbang's office. The leader thought that this guy was so arrogant that it would be unacceptable not to teach him a lesson. Since Liu Dingbang couldn't see them now, why not beat him up here? They could later claim it was because he refused to cooperate and tried to escape that they acted in self-defense. As long as they subdued him, they could say whatever they wanted.
"Alright then, I would love to entertain myself with your little tricks. Here’s how it goes: you have two options," Xin Yi said boastfully. "First is one by one; three seconds each for a total of twelve seconds. The second is all four of you together; that might take a bit longer—let's say thirty seconds. You can choose which one suits you better. If you're in a hurry, I suggest going with the first option; if you're bored, the second option isn't bad either..."
"No, I choose the third option!" The leader guard interrupted before Xin Yi could finish speaking. "Me alone against you; three seconds—you lie down!"
"Hahaha..." Xin Yi laughed and then sized up this guard with the eyes of a predator eyeing its prey. "Those with real strength show off because they're impressive; those without strength who still try to show off are fools. You must belong to the latter category? Fine then, I'll indulge you."
"I... you... you can only talk big!" The guard was so enraged by Xin Yi that he stammered out his words while catching his breath. "Are you ready? I'm about to start!"
"Ready," Xin Yi replied cheerfully. "Are you ready too? Then I'll start counting: one... two..." Just as he said "two," he suddenly struck out with his right fist straight at the guard's face and kicked at his abdomen with his right leg. The move was executed extremely quickly; while the guard was focused on listening to Xin Yi count down and was on high alert, he didn't expect such a sudden attack at such speed—there was no time to dodge! He felt sharp pain in both his face and abdomen simultaneously as he flew backward through the air for three or four meters before crashing down... "Three... time's up!" Xin Yi said casually.
The entire series of actions was completed in the blink of an eye. The three people nearby had not even reacted when their companion was already sent flying three to four meters away. The man who was thrown struggled to lift his head from the ground, blood covering his face as he said, "You... cheated!" His nasal bone was broken, and blood flowed continuously from his nostrils, making his speech unclear. However, these were merely superficial injuries; what truly prevented him from getting up was the kick from Xin Yi to his lower abdomen. To kick a person weighing around 160 to 170 pounds three to four meters away required immense force, and that force was concentrated right on his abdomen. He felt as if a storm was raging inside him, as if all his internal organs had shifted, causing him so much pain that he couldn't muster the strength to rise.
What Xin Yi wanted was precisely this effect. If he could still get up, it would mean he wasn't true to his word. There was no enmity between them, so he could be considered merciful. Otherwise, if that kick had landed just below his abdomen instead of on it, well, he would have been deprived of the ability to enjoy family life for the rest of his life. As for the accusation of cheating—was there any? It seemed not. If there was, it could only be blamed on the man's own foolishness. Although it wasn't his fault for being born foolish, it also wasn't Xin Yi's fault for being born clever.
Xin Yi glanced at the man lying on the ground and innocently replied, "Cheating? Did I cheat? I asked you if you were ready before I started counting. I said three seconds; by the time I counted to three, you were already lying there. It seems I didn't break any rules, did I?"
Hearing Xin Yi's words, the man on the ground began to cry. Everyone knew that after someone counted one, two, three, that was when it started. How could Xin Yi treat one, two, three as his so-called three seconds? Even if he treated one, two, three as three seconds, he should have acted at the first second! But during the first second, he pretended as if nothing was happening and only struck during the second second—wasn't that cheating? However, upon reflection, no one had explicitly stated that it had to start after counting one, two, three. So was it really cheating or had he simply misunderstood? The man felt confused.
"Despicable tactics! Shameless!" The remaining three guards shouted in unison: "If you have real skills, then fight openly! What kind of hero sneaks an attack like this? Even if you got lucky this time, it only proves you're a petty villain!"
On this point, Xin Yi actually agreed; what he had done earlier could indeed be considered a sneak attack. However, he would never admit to being a petty villain. Although what he did was indeed despicable. In fact, shamelessness comes in many levels: feeling ashamed after doing something shameless is the beginner stage; not feeling shame after doing something shameless is the intermediate stage; taking pride in doing something shameless is the advanced stage. Xin Yi had already reached this advanced level.
"Alright then," Xin Yi said generously while waving his hand. "Since you insist on blaming your stupidity on my cleverness, I'll give you another chance. Now all three of you come at me together; I'll give you one minute so you won't feel resentful for life."
"Arrogant!" One guard angrily cursed as he leaped into action, crossing his legs in mid-air to kick towards Xin Yi's head. This move might have been one of his most powerful techniques; in an instant, it seemed as though countless legs were aimed at Xin Yi's upper body with a fierce momentum approaching.
However, Xin Yi remained calm. Back when Shen Liwei's leg techniques were above those of this guard's level, Xin Yi could defeat opponents with just one move. Moreover, this guard's leg technique was not as practical as Shen Liwei's; Shen Liwei’s kicks were swift and stable with continuous changes in attack direction. In contrast, this guard’s flashy moves lacked substance—how many techniques could be executed while airborne? How much follow-up power could support them? Thus, all it took was one flaw to easily counter what seemed like an impressive attack.
Xin Yi took a slight step back and casually extended his right hand while keeping his left hand behind him. He swiftly grabbed one of the guard's legs firmly and gently twisted it. The guard lost control and crashed sideways as Xin Yi chuckled and said, "Since you like flying so much, let me send you off!" As he spoke, he suddenly leaped into the air and delivered a solid kick to the guard's rear end. The guard's body shot upward like a rocket propelled by fire from behind him. With no way to maintain balance after ascending two or three meters under gravity's pull, he quickly fell back down with a loud thud onto the hard stone floor, shaking the entire corridor slightly.
"How about that? Are you convinced now?" Xin Yi said calmly with one hand behind his back. "From now on, don’t go around imitating others; Zhou Xingxing’s Deadly Scissors Kick isn’t meant to be used like that."
"You... how did you do that?" The guard who fell to the ground grimaced in pain while rubbing his battered backside. This move had always worked well for him; he never expected someone could easily counter it and send him crashing down so badly. Could it be that what he once thought was an unbeatable technique turned out to be so vulnerable? Unable to contain himself any longer, he asked: "Tell me! How did you do that? No one has ever dodged my move before!"
"Child, wake up. You are not Zhou Xingchi, and this is not the filming of Fight Back to School..." Xin Yi said.
