Chapter 808 - Kill him too (1/2)
The wind began to pick up as the night turned darker. Qi Li stood facing the robust man with an indifferent expression. Between the both of them, he should have been the one who looked exhausted, but there was no sweat on him. Even his breathing was calm.
Standing in the presence of what looked like the grim reaper, the robust man felt his entire body covered in sweat. He stares at Qi Li, who the metal stick should have knocked out.
”What are you....?”
He trembles his words and struggles with difficulty to swallow his saliva.
”How are you still standing?”
He couldn't understand what was happening. Is this person even human? It's as if the kid had turned into a killing machine.
Could it be that this entire time he was used as a punching bag?
”No more messing around.”
Qi Li's calm voice answers without batting an eye. He looks straight at the robust man like he was staring into his (robust man) soul and could see all the sins he (robust man) had committed.
”It's time to collect your fate.”
His last word fell with the passing wind, and it shook the robust man's heart.
He (robust man) stares with wide trembling eyes, and his lower lip follows in pursuit.
”Y-you... you're from....”
He wanted to say 'fate' but could only swallow the word back. He swore it was like something was stuck in his throat, almost making it difficult to breathe.
Before coming here, he and the others informed about the Mad Reaper. They were told to look out for the man, and if they were to run into him, they must leave.
However, from their observation, Mad Reaper was nowhere in sight, and this made them conclude that Yue Ling and Mad Reaper must not be close friends.
If they are, then it must mean the man must have left home.
When he (robust man) and the petite man didn't hear anything from the others at the front of the house, they decided to proceed with their plan. Only, they didn't expect to run into Qi Li.
Coming back from his thoughts, he struggles another gulp. Qi Li's words were exact and never left his mind.
'collect your fate!'
Those words were simple, but it was like being struck by lightning to any person in the underworld. It wasn't just words anyone can say or threaten as a taunt.
”y-you...”
He stutters again, but with his mind in a chaotic mess, he couldn't say another word. All he could do was stare at the man who can barely see without glasses.
”Seems like you finally came to your senses.”
Qi Li smirks after his words with a mysterious glint of light in his eyes. He doesn't give any warning and makes a lunge at the robust man.
No more playing. It's time for him to be merciless.
”Ahhh-!”
Seeing him suddenly make a move, the robust man wanted to run away, but it was like someone had glued his feet to the ground. He could feel his legs start to tremble.
However, with his legs not listening to what he wants, he could only scream at the top of his lungs.
”Get away from me! Don't come any clo-ugh!”
Before he could finish the word 'closer,' Qi Li appeared in front of in a blink of an eye. He (Qi Li) feign ignorance to the look of intense fear in the man's face and throws a punch.
He directs his fist directly at the man's nose. As the man's head tilts back with force, he sends a spinning heel kick with his right leg.
His movements appeared light and harmless, but both attacks were deadly.
Just as the man falls to the side, he yanks the metal stick out of his (robust man) hand and smacks him hard across the head.
The robust man didn't even have the chance to dodge, let alone scream when he felt the hard impact of the metal stick touch his head. His eyes shot open, and his vision turns red as blood fills his eyes before darkness overtakes.
His (Qi Li) eyes casually follow the robust man's body as he (robust man) hits the ground. He (Qi Li) slightly tilts his head to the side, and the look on his face was one of a calm, innocent man who hadn't done any beating.
”Coward.”
He stares down with a slight tilt to his head. This was why he had gone easy on the man. He always knew how to calculate his opponent's strength and whether they were fast or slow.
If he wanted, he could have quickly ended the fight. However, he hadn't workout in a while, so he decided to take his sweet time.
[ ”Qi Li? Qi Li? Can you hear me? Hello?”]
Quickly as the fight ended, Liu Shan's voice sounds from the phone. This caused Qi Li to look away from the man. He turns his head to where the voice is coming from.
He heaves a long sigh and walks at a calm pace in the direction of the phone.
