Chapter 87 Damn It, Someones Digging His Own Grave (1/2)
Earlier on, when Qin Sheng knew he could not simply up and leave, he accompanied Han Bing back to Tianshui. That night, Master Wu, whom Qin Sheng respected deeply, and the fearless Chen Beiming had remained in Tianshui and did not return since.
It took Qin Sheng many days to recover from that incident, which was what gave him the guts to kill Zhou Wenwu. Surely he knew the risk involved in killing someone in Shanghai, especially when it was Zhou Wenwu, who was a formidable character in at a whole different level.
Qin Sheng knew this for a fact, however, he would be guilt-stricken for the rest of his life if he did not do it. Anyone would want to live a life with a clear conscience.
Tonight, when seven to eight men surrounded Xue Qingyan and him, Qin Sheng did not want what happened in Tianshui to happen to them. He would never allow Xue Qingyan to be hurt in any way even if he were to end up being the only one injured. He was determined to kill Du Jiang if he were to get out of here alive. The car accident that happened today already pushed him to his limits. What was this now? Did Du Jiang think he transcended the law as long as he was in Nanjing?
There was no time to waste. Qin Sheng scanned the surrounding situation and whispered to Xue Qingyan, saying, ”Big Sister, I will block them while you quickly get onto the car and drive off. If you hesitate, none of us will be able to escape.”
”We've to leave together,” Xue Qingyan said, although she could also tell how precarious the situation was. She did not wish for anything bad to happen to because of her.
Being sentimental was not the last thing Qin Sheng needed at this moment, so he gritted his teeth and said, ”Cut the crap and listen to me. Even if I don't survive this, you will live to avenge me.”
”Get them!” the leader commanded when Qin Sheng hardly finished speaking.
Without further ado, Qin Sheng stuffed the car key into Xue Qingyan's hand and dashed towards the men. The most crucial thing was to buy some time for Xue Qingyan to safely reach the car, thereafter, he would have to find a way of escape for himself.
Unlocking the car as quickly as she could, Xue Qingyan got into it car just when Qin Sheng started tackling the men at the forefront. Although each of them was no match for Qin Sheng, the threat posed by the seven or eight men collectively was no joke.
Qin Sheng had to be ruthless if he wanted to survive. Dodging the attacks of the men at the forefront, Qin Sheng mustered all his strength, gave the man a kick on his face, grabbed tightly onto his arm and lifted his knee towards the man's chest, and simultaneously snatching the machetes from the man's hand. At this time, three other men lunged towards Qin Sheng and surrounded him. The rest bypassed Qin Sheng to try to get to Xue Qingyan. The situation was extremely precarious as Xue Qingyan had just managed to open the car door and had not entered it.
In a frenzy, Qin Sheng tossed the machetes towards the man who was approaching Xue Qingyan. He had totally forgotten that he needed to defend himself against the other men who were also holding machetes and were about to attack him. Qin Sheng had been trained in the use of all kinds of knives and daggers. All his years of training would have come to nothing if he was unable to hit his target, but he did not disappoint. The machete from his hand hit his target and went several inches into the man's chest and he cried out in pain.
Again, Qin Sheng kicked away the man on his left as he to Xue Qingyan's rescue. She had only entered the car but had not started the engine. A man was holding the door of the car door while she pulled hard with all her might to keep him from entering. There was yet another man who was on his way to the passenger seat, planning to enter the car from the other side.
As Qin Sheng ran towards the car, his back was exposed to attack. The man closest to him wielded a machete towards him and it slashed a 10 millimeter cut on Qin Sheng's shoulder. Immediately, blood oozed out of Qin Sheng's shirt.
Frowning deeply, Qin Sheng let out a moan, however, he could not care less about himself. Seeing that the man at the passenger side of the car was about to enter through its door, Qin Sheng threw a kick at the car door and it slammed hard onto the man's head and he immediately fell onto the floor unconscious.
Qin Sheng rolled on the floor from the momentum of his dash and picked up the man's machete simultaneously. Having been utterly provoked, all the fear in him was gone by this time, and he was all ready to kill.
Qin Sheng turned to face the man who slashed him with a machete and began brandishing the machetes in his hands. While he dodged his opponent's machete, he simultaneously slashed at the man's abdomen and his entrails were exposed.
It was a gory sight and the entire atmosphere was filled with the smell of blood.
After killing a few of the men in his way towards the car, he knocked down the man in a deadlock with Xue Qingyan. Finally, she was able to start the engine of her BMW X5.
By this time, four men had collapsed in their puddle of blood. Xue Qingyan quickly locked the car door after starting the engine. She was finally safe, however, Qin Sheng was still in danger.
Not only was Qin Sheng injured on his back, but there were also cuts on his arm and thigh. ”Go!” Qin Sheng cried out as he saw Xue Qingyan still hesitating.
Qin Sheng's face was covered in fresh blood so much so that Xue Qingyan could no longer tell his expression. She was so shocked that she did not dare to delay one moment, but sped off in the car.
Qin Sheng no longer needed to continue with the fighting once Xue Qingyan escaped. He turned to run after the BMW, and suddenly the BMW turned around at the bend in the road and sped towards Qin Sheng and their attackers.
The car was running at such a high speed that Qin Sheng almost got hit. He rolled onto the floor and managed to escape. However, one of their attackers was not quick enough to react and was knocked down and flew some distance away.
Qin Sheng knew Xue Qingyan's intention and was grateful for it. If she had just driven off and left him behind, he would have felt disappointed, although he knew she did not really have to do this.
After Qin Sheng pulled himself up from the ground, he dashed towards the car, opened the door and got in in a flash. Before the remaining three attackers could react, Xue Qingyan had depressed the accelerator and sped off, this time without any hesitation.
