Chapter 253 Gao Fei Vs. White Hair (1/2)

After Lil Bei missed his target, he leaned on a giant tree, but barely, because one of his legs was broken.

He looked at this man in disbelief. He thought he had the perfect timing, when his foe believed that he could choke him to death. That was the moment when Tulay was less vigilant.

Lil Bei had not expected that this perfect timing, the one he had been waiting for so long, failed him. Was it because of the difference in their strength?

Tulay’s facial expression was the same the whole time. He stared at Lil Bei and said, “You must be wondering how I knew that you would strike me that moment.”

Lil Bei grinned, “I’m really curious. So can you tell me?”

“You’re still smiling. I’m surprised. Since you want to know the reason, I will tell you,” Tulay said in a low voice, “I’ve killed too many people since my childhood and I’ve seen the ugliness in humans. I know what a person will do when he knows that he will die soon. You’re a tough guy. Men like you would never wait to be killed. Then there was only one possibility–that was you would try to kill me when I slacked off.”

Lil Bei sighed, “You are a discerning man.”

“Of course. A drowning man would try any means to grab at a single straw, even though he knows it’s impossible for him to survive. It’s a human’s basic instinct of survival…”

Before Tulay finished speaking, he suddenly gasped, because Lil Bei moved. Though his footing was unsteady, he rushed towards Tulay. Tulay thought Lil Bei would be running from him, not keep fighting him. And Tulay had decided to give his opponent a quick death. But he had not expected Lil Bei to lunge at him again.

Could it be his scheme?

Tulay took two steps back and dodged Lil Bei’s first two strikes. But Lil Bei kept attacking as if he didn’t care about his life anymore. This was what Tulay never expected.

Finally, Tulay moved. No matter how hard Lil Bei tried, he was still one level away from his foe. Plus he was seriously wounded. Tulay nullified Lil Bei strike instantly, then he sent Lil Bei hurtling backwards.

Tulay moved again, vanishing from where he just stood. Then he appeared behind Lil Bei, his palm aiming for the back of Lil Bei’s head.

He calculated that Lil Bei would fall to the ground, roll sideways and parry his attack. But in the meantime, Lil Bei would have no chance to fight back. Tulay believed that he could kill Lil Bei within three moves.

However, what happened next astonished Tulay again. Lil Bei did not choose to parry. Instead, he turned around and let Tulay’s palm hit on his chest, which almost sank because of the impact. But Lil Bei grabbed Tulay and held him like a python with his hands and legs. Neither his hands nor legs could deliver a strike. But he opened his mouth and bit his foe’s neck, with all his strength. His teeth ripped flesh apart from Tulay’s neck. Blood began gushing out from his throat.

Tulay flailed his hands with his eyes wide open, trying to pull Lil Bei away from him. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not.

“H… How?”

Tulay still looked emotionless as blood gushed out from his throat. There was no fear in his eyes, not even panic.

Knowing that Tulay would die soon, Lil Bei loosened his grasp, then Tulay’s body slumped on the ground.

Tulay covered his neck with his hands while looking at Lil Bei, expecting an answer.

Lil Bei’s voice was faint. He had taken numerous crazy blows before and Tulay’s last palm attack nearly shattered his heart and veins. Though he survived, he was seriously injured.

Smiling, Lil Bei said faintly, “I surmised that you wouldn’t think I would turn around and fight back. Because if I turned around, I would most likely be killed. You have seen many kinds of people, most of which will try any means to survive. They all fear death. It’s reasonable because it’s human nature.”

“That’s why I suddenly turned around to fight. You would never have guessed that because I will most probably die.”

“You must be wondering why I chose to put my life at risk. Am I not afraid of death? Of course I am. But there are things more important than life, like my promise to my captain. White Hair hurt him, so I swore to him that I’ll vent my anger for White Hair on the opponent I’m about to fight. I will make him die a painful death.”

“To achieve that promise, I will do anything, even if it costs me my life!”

Tulay struggled to shake his head. Finally he spoke, “I’ve never met anyone like you.” Then, he could not hold back the blood in the throat. It erupted from his throat. Finally he fell on the ground, his body shaking, his eyes becoming lackluster. But the calmness on his face remained even in death.

He was indeed not an ordinary man. If Lil Bei had not killed him, he was destined to become someone more formidable.

Lil Bei suddenly wondered why this man never knew fear even till the very end.

Maybe because he had killed too many people. The cruelty he learned in Africa made him realize that sooner or later he will die. So why not spill more blood before that time came?
