Chapter Twenty-Five: Men Are Inferior To Women

  The bustling streets were filled with people coming and going without a break.

  But it's clear that ordinary people have an inexplicable sense of awe towards those hooligans. When faced with a group of rowdy, club-wielding thugs dressed in outlandish attire, pedestrians on the street hastily scatter to either side.

  Tie Xing, a notorious gang leader in Shi Ba Town.

  Although he no longer does those deceitful and lawless things on the surface, that glorious experience is still there, so many of the other rascals in Shibei Town were once his underlings.

  My little brother was beaten up!

  Big brother's face naturally had no light on it.

  Especially the miserable appearance of his younger brother being beaten into a pig's head, even Tie Xing, who is now calm and composed, couldn't help but burst into flames, feeling that his own face had been slapped.

  He walked up to Zhang Yi and Yao Tiantian, and Iron Star coldly sized them up for a few moments before sneering: "Was it you two who hit my man?"

  Zhang Yi subconsciously pushed Yin Yin behind him and coldly stared at the group of people in front of him.

  After going through ups and downs with Qin Dabiao, he is now considered a capable fighter, but facing nearly twenty street-smart thugs with rich fighting experience, he still feels apprehensive in his heart, clearly knowing that once both sides engage in a fight, he will absolutely be no match for the opponent.

  On the contrary, Yao Tiantian, who was standing aside, had an air of fearlessness and disdain in her eyes as she coldly looked at the riffraff in front of her.

  "What do you want to do? This is a society ruled by law, do you want to beat people up in broad daylight?" Zhang Yi said with a guarded expression.

  "Rule of law society? Are you saying that only your people are allowed to hit mine in a rule of law society, but my people aren't allowed to hit yours?"

  The scar-faced man with a knife wound on his forehead shouted angrily: "Big brother, don't waste your breath on them, let my brothers take revenge for me!"

  Yao Tiantian raised an eyebrow and stepped out with a swift pace:

  "It seems you really have eaten the heart of a bear and the gallbladder of a leopard, treating my words as nothing but a breeze in your ear? And yet you still dare to find someone to take revenge? Who among you dares to try and lay hands on me?"

  "Little girl, you're quite arrogant! I don't hit women, but my brothers will! Get your hands on her and beat her to death!"

  "Wait!"

  Zhang Yi glared at Tie Xing, strode quickly to Yao Tian Tian's front, stretched out his hand and blocked her behind him.

  Although Yao TianTian was very fierce when she hit people before, it was because the six young men were knocked down and couldn't get up, they didn't have the strength to fight back.

  So he didn't believe in Yao TianTian's fighting strength at all.

  At this time...

  He needs to protect Yao Tian Tian.

  "This is no child's play, take Yin Yin back with you, I'll block them." Zhang Yi said in a low voice.

  Yao Tiantian's face froze, looking at Zhang Yi's serious face. Her lips moved a few times, and her heart skipped a beat. All these years, except for the two grandfathers, no one had ever protected her like this. The feeling of being protected made her feel warm all over her heart.

  "You fool! Even as a bodyguard, you need to know when to retreat. And yet, you still dare to charge forward with your head held high? You're looking for death!" Iron Star bellowed.

  "Hurry up!"

  Zhang Yi suddenly shouted and rushed forward with swift steps.

  His speed was fast, but Yao Tian's speed was even faster.

  As Zhang Yi dodged a iron rod thrown by a young man and punched his nose, Yao Tiantian had already knocked down two young men with her agile movements.

  Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The two men's movements were abnormally swift and fierce, even these local rascals who often fought and brawled in the past had rich actual combat experience, but they were still beaten to the ground by the two of them.

  The crowd on both sides of the street stared at the fighting scene with wide eyes, holding their breath and showing a look of shock.

  Tie Xing, on the other hand, was completely stunned, staring blankly at his subordinates who were rolling around in agony, a hint of fear flashing across his eyes. His throat convulsed several times as he took two unconscious steps back.

  Except him!

  The only ones left standing were those with scarred faces revealing terror.

  "Big brother, what are you still stunned for? Run quickly!"

  Dào bā liǎn jiǎo bù tuì dào tiě xīng shēn biān, shēn shǒu zhuā zhù tā de gōng, jīng kǒng de jiào dào.

  Translation:

  Scarface stepped back to Tiexing's side, grasped his arm and cried out in terror.

  Iron Star is afraid!

  He was scared by Yao TianTian, who had a devilish figure and an angelic face. Zhang Yi was okay, he only knocked down three or four of his own men, while the other fourteen or fifteen men were all knocked down by Yao TianTian.

  With a panicked emotion, listening to the terrified cry of Scarface, he also turned around and fled in disarray.

  Yao Tiantian stood among the thugs rolling on the ground in pain, clapped her hands, and a satisfied smile appeared on her stunning face. She turned to look at Zhang Yi and smiled, saying: "How's that? Not bad for a girl, huh?"

  Zhang Yi was also stunned by the scene in front of him.

  He didn't notice when he was fighting just now, but suddenly realized that except for the two guys who escaped, everyone else had been knocked down, which made him feel shocked inside.

  Awesome!

  That's really awesome!

  Eighteen thugs were knocked to the ground, fourteen of whom were intimidated by Yao Tian Tian, and he even had an impulse to kowtow to Yao Tian Tian.

  "Uncle!"

  Yingying's eyes were filled with tears, she carefully approached Zhang Yi's side, grasped the corner of his clothes with her pale small hand and called out to him in a trembling voice.

  Zhang Yi hastily squatted down, picked up Yin Yin, and knew she had been frightened, so he comforted her by stroking her little head: "Yin Yin is not afraid, it's okay, Uncle and Auntie have already knocked down these bad guys."

  Yao Tian Tian came to Zhang Yi's side with a triumphant expression, pinched Yin Yin's small face and said with a smile: "Little Yin Yin, don't be afraid. Look at sister me..."

  "Hey, you're too much."

  Zhang Yi hastily reminded her.

  Yao Tiantian's face stiffened, and she glared at Zhang Yi with annoyance, saying discontentedly: "Am I that old? This young lady is only twenty years old this year."

  Without the threat of a strong enemy, Zhang Yi's tense heartstrings relaxed, and he joked: "Don't girls usually not want to tell others their age?"

  "Uh..."

  Yao Tiantian's mouth twitched a few times, then she raised her pink fist at Zhang Yi and made a gesture before turning to Yin Yin in his arms: "Little Yin Yin, did you see that just now? Never mind, I'll just be Auntie! Am I awesome or what? Way more awesome than this guy Zhang Yi. So, men are no match for women. When you're willing to learn self-defense in the future, Auntie will teach you."

  Are men inferior to women?

  Zhang Yi was so annoyed by Yao Tian Tian's words that he wanted to vomit blood.

  Even in today's society, with countless female strong figures emerging, it can only be described as "women hold up half the sky".

  Half the sky!

  How can women be stronger than men?

  Zhang Yi, who grew up in the countryside, had a feudal patriarchal bloodline running through his veins. Just now he was still foolishly trying to protect Yao Tiantian, but this seemingly weak girl turned out to be even more formidable than him, which deeply stimulated him.

  "I must get stronger, I must be more powerful than Yao Tian Tian! And... Jiang Hong Yan."

  Zhang Yi secretly vowed in his heart.

  At the end of the street, Iron Star, who had been fleeing in disarray, finally stopped and caught his breath, bending over with his hands on his knees, looking back.

  Suddenly.

  His body trembled slightly, and his face turned pale in an instant.

  I... what did I just do?

  I... I just got scared out of my wits?

  I...

  Ran away?

  In Tie Xing's eyes that had widened in shock, a layer of bloodshot appeared rapidly, and amidst the cold glint, he saw Kao Rou Lian who had also stopped to catch his breath.

  It's him!

  It was he who pulled himself together! It was he who wanted to run away by himself!

  Tie Xing's fists clenched with force, and a fierce light burst out of his eyes. The moment his hands left his knees, he kicked the scar-faced man to the ground with a vicious kick, and then followed up with a flurry of punches and kicks.

  "You damned bastard. You... you actually dragged me into a retreat? I, Iron Star, have been hanging out in Shibatown for twenty or thirty years, when have I ever run away?"

  "I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations, you damned bastard! My reputation is completely ruined by you. In less than half a day, all the respectable people in Shibei Town know that I, Tie Xing, was scared away by two young men."

  "Bastard, you've made your old man suffer..."

  The iron star was jumping wildly, its power growing more and more fierce, completely ignoring the cries of "dad" and "mom", the scar-faced man's miserable wails continued one after another, as if it wouldn't rest until it had beaten him to death.

  What is most important when socializing?

  It's a matter of face!

  Once you've lost all face, others will probably stab you in the back.

  He would rather be beaten by those two young men and women than bear the shame of abandoning his brother and fleeing in battle.

  "Damn it, you've ruined me! How can I still hang out in Shibei Town? How can I still show my face?"

  The more he fought, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the greater his strength grew.

  When he was so tired that his arms were almost numb, the scar-faced man, who had been injured from the beginning, was already weak and feeble, his body twitching on the ground as if he would die at any moment.

  After venting his anger, he panted heavily and stared at the scarred face that looked like a dead dog, only to suddenly wake up with a start.

  "Oh no, I won't end up killing him myself, will I?"

  An even stronger sense of fear was growing wildly in his heart.

  Tie Xing quickly squatted down, reached out to push against the scar-faced man's knife wound and urgently shouted: "You little scoundrel, are you dead or not? If you're not dead, give me a shout."

  Scarface still had a bit of consciousness, but he was afraid that Tiexing would continue to beat him up, so he deliberately used all his strength, with both arms propping himself up from the ground, and then heavily smashed back onto the ground, closing his eyes and strongly enduring the tearing pain that was splitting his whole body apart, not moving a single bit again.

  "Scar... don't scare me, damn it? Wake up, wake up for your old man..."

  The iron star's face had a tide of blood receding from it, his deathly pale complexion looked exceptionally unwell, he continuously pushed against the scar-faced man's motionless body, shouting urgently.

  A full half minute.

  The scar-faced man didn't respond in the slightest.

  Tie Xing's face was filled with fear as he stretched out his hand to the scar-faced man's nostrils, wanting to feel if he still had any breath.

  Scarface sensed something and suddenly held his breath.

  "Bang......"

  Ten seconds later, Tieshang collapsed to the ground with a thud, his terrified gaze becoming unfocused, tears streaming down his face as he muttered stupidly: "I'm done for, I... I killed someone..."
