Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Besides, we brothers are not unreasonable people. We only want half of your money. You can use the rest to treat your daughter. How about that? Isn't that good enough?"

The rascal grinned, his tone revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and a seemingly understanding smile on his face, as if he was really thinking about Zhang Yungui. He looked like he deserved a beating, and was as annoying as he could be.

"Okay, okay, I'll take the money right away. I hope the three gentlemen will keep their word."

As Zhang Yungui spoke, he slowly stood up, lowered his head and reached into his bag to fumble for money, while he secretly glanced at the three hooligans in front of him out of the corner of his eye.

However, at this moment, the three hooligans did not notice that Zhang Yungui's eyes were no longer filled with panic as before. Instead, there was an unusually sharp light, and his cold eyes were filled with strong murderous intent.

Zhang Yungui's hands fumbled in the bag, and his heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Finally, his palm tightly grasped an ox-horn knife, as if he had found the last straw to save his life.

When he raised his head, his face was no longer filled with the previous panic, but was replaced by a flattering smile. The light in his eyes was no longer cold and sharp, but returned to its previous panic-stricken look.

"This is all the money I have on me. Sir, please leave half for me. After all, human life is at stake!" Zhang Yungui said flatteringly.

"Hehe, I said I'd leave half for you, but my brother didn't say that! Hahaha!" One of the hooligans laughed jokingly.

Hearing this, the rage in Zhang Yungui's heart was instantly ignited, but he forced himself to hold it back and just silently clenched the ox-horn knife in his hand.

However, the other party did not seem to intend to let him go. Another ruffian greedily stared at Zhang Yungui's bag and approached him step by step.

"Then take them all!" Zhang Yungui suddenly roared, holding the knife in his right hand, and stabbed the ruffian in front of him in the chest with lightning speed.

"Ah!" The rascals obviously did not expect Zhang Yungui to suddenly attack. Although they roamed the streets all day, they also knew that knives and guns had no eyes. Faced with this sudden attack, the rascals reacted very quickly and tried to dodge.

Unfortunately, due to the close distance, he was still a step too late. Although he avoided the vital parts, he was still stabbed in the abdomen by Zhang Yungui. The knife was so powerful that even through the thick cotton coat, it still deeply embedded in the body of the ruffian, which shows how much strength Zhang Yungui used.

"Ah! The old guy actually dared to use a knife, brothers, kill him!" The severe pain in his abdomen made the ruffian scream. He jumped backwards, trying to avoid Zhang Yungui's next attack, while not forgetting to call on his two companions behind him to join the battle.

The two men did not hesitate, and drew their machetes from their waists, rushing towards Zhang Yungui fiercely, with fierce killing intent in every step. The machetes flashed coldly in the air, as if they were going to cut Zhang Yungui into pieces. Their eyes were full of ferocity and cruelty, as if Zhang Yungui had become their prey.

The leading scoundrel was even more hateful. He covered his stomach with one hand and held a dagger in the other hand, constantly looking for opportunities to give Zhang Yungui a fatal blow when he was off guard.

Fortunately, it is winter now and people are wearing thick clothes, so the machete cannot cause much damage to the body. Only when the blade pierces the clothes can it really cause effective killing power. If it were summer, without so many clothes to protect the body, I am afraid that the victory or failure of life and death would be decided in a few seconds.

At this moment, Xu Damao came from afar on a bicycle and saw the thrilling scene in front of him at a glance - four people holding sharp blades were fighting a life-and-death battle!

"Damn you, old man! How dare you kill my brother? I will make you pay with your life today! Not only you, but even your daughter will die!" The leading scoundrel saw one of his companions accidentally slashed across the neck by Zhang Yungui's knife. Blood gushed out like a fountain. The scene was just like a burst water pipe in his own home...

The leader of the gangsters covered his stomach with one hand, his expression twisted in pain, and with the other hand holding a knife, he stabbed Zhang Yungui in the back without hesitation. However, Zhang Yungui showed amazing reaction speed and strength at the critical moment of life and death. He turned around quickly, swung the knife backhand, and accurately cut the gangster's neck.

In an instant, blood gushed out, the rascal screamed, his body shook a few times, and finally fell to the ground unwillingly, becoming a victim of this bloody conflict like his brothers who had died before.

He let out a hoarse "cuck" sound, his eyes wide open, staring at the seemingly honest but cruel man in front of him. His eyes were filled with fear, regret and despair, but it was too late. Time could not be reversed, the gears of fate had already turned mercilessly, until the last moment of his life, his eyes gradually dimmed.

After Zhang Yungui used all his strength to deliver this fatal blow, he collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

This knife also came at a price, as the leader of the gangsters just stabbed himself in the back.

At this moment, he had no strength left in his body. The adrenaline he had just generated from the fierce battle with the enemy had long been exhausted, and now all that was left was a body covered in wounds and trembling hands.

When he noticed the last ruffian's eyes were bloodshot and he raised his knife to chop at his head, he felt unusually calm. He closed his eyes silently and waited for death to come.

"Alas..." Zhang Yungui sighed deeply, "I'm getting old after all! If it were ten or twenty years ago, I could easily take care of three gangsters like these with just a flick of my finger! It's a pity... my poor daughter..." He slowly closed his eyes, a look of indifference and detachment revealed on his face, as if he had already become indifferent to life and death.

At this moment, there was a dull crash suddenly - "Bang!" followed by a "thump" sound, as if someone fell to the ground.

Zhang Yungui suddenly opened his eyes and looked forward eagerly. As expected, he saw that the gangster who had rushed towards him with a machete was now lying on the ground, his limbs occasionally twitching, and he was obviously not dead yet.

The person who rescued Zhang Yungui was Xu Damao who rushed over. He quickly took out a half brick from the space magic weapon he carried with him and smashed it hard on the back of the gangster without hesitation. The blow was accurate and hit the target.
