Chapter 16: Street Corner

After he saw Jackson, John spoke to Lucien calmly, “You haven’t been officially trained, remember, don’t panic and hit accurately The only weapon they have are daggers, if we utilize the length of the wooden rod, they can’t get close to us Also, don’t stop, there’s too much of them If they surround you and attacks from several directions, there’s no way to defend”

He briefly reht panic or attack recklessly

Actually, Lucien had a deep understanding in this, he nodded in agreement, and answered humorously, “Don’t worry, John, I’h the witch’s secret room”

John stopped talking, they hid their wooden sticks behind their back, preventing the passers fro them, and approached Jackson quickly

It was a street in the Market District, ten , with h Therefore Jackson didn’t notice John and Lucien at all

Several paces away frolances, and drew their wooden sticks out, gripped the members

Lucien realized that his target was the gang member who kicked hiot near hi the wooden rod, and strike fiercely toward his head

Although he didn’t have enough strength or enough training, Lucien still learned sohts: Not only does he need to be calm, concentrated, steady and accurate, but also ruthless Whenever he decided to attack, there’s no space for mercy, or himself will suffer from that

The slight soundot hit by the rod before he could even turn his head

BOOM, Lucien’s rod punched the spot under the gang member’s ear, he felt a heavy blow and iround

John, on the other side, was not as “cruel-hearted” as Lucien was He didn’t target the head, but instead, he held the wooden rod with both hands, like a greatsword, and hit the gang ht arm

Although it’s not a fatal spot, since John, a forer than Lucien, his’s strike still knocked the gang round There’s a swell on his ar

After knocking down a roughneck, Lucien didn’t stop but ran around the enee sound and turned his head, then punched toward another roughneck’s head, hitting his face

That guy fell on his back and dreo traces of blood in the air with his nose

He didn’t pass out, but intense pain and a buzzing head kept hiround

Now the gang members in the from finally realized what happened, when Jackson saw there’s only two of thehters to surround them

They drew the daggers, their blade reflects the hts

Lucien kept the hit & run principle in his ularly around the crowd, sometimes forward, sometimes left, and sometimes he even drew back a little bit However, once he noticed an opportunity, he leaped back, utilizing the wooden rod’s advantage in length, and punched the gang member’s heads or necks

The key point of such strategy is to not be panicked or greedy, even though the eneed from multiple directions

The street was long and wide, and the crowd already scattered and fled As long as Lucien wasn’t passively defending in a corner or got entangled with a single ene members wouldn’t be able to block Lucien

Of course, this was a challenge on his physical strength, most people won’t be able to do that for hneck fell on the ground, however, Lucien suddenly noticed that John, on the other side of the battlefield, was ambushed and encircled

Although his physical strength wash he knocked down several gang round and tried to stab John’s ankle While he was dodging those attacks, John fell into the aot surrounded space for hi swordsers for multiple times But even so, his conditions appeared to be in peril

After a second of hesitation, Lucien clenched his teeth and leaped forward, swung the wooden stick toward the back of one of the roughneck’s head

“Watch out!” “Johnny!” The three gang members behind Lucien yelled and reminded their fellow

The guy naround, and Lucien missed the hit

However, that gave John the chance to leave the encircle h Johnny

Johnny juhnecks, chasing after Lucien, already stood in front of John
