Chapter 116: Crazy Revenge

  It wasn't until then that Chen Jing and her cousin rushed out. When they saw the blood on me, they suddenly cried out: "You're hurt?"

  I smiled slightly: "I killed Wang Zhan, I..." As soon as I said this, I suddenly felt a chill on my body, and then I saw Chen Jing looking at me with a terrified expression behind my back.

  As I looked down, all I saw was a blood-stained knife inserted from behind my back, already piercing through my body, the tip of the blade visible. Without turning my head, I counterattacked with a palm strike, the true energy inside me frantically circulating and surging towards my palm along my arm. My enemy behind me clearly hadn't anticipated this move and was struck by my palm. The feeling of touching her hand was strange, like it was a woman's body, very soft to the touch.

  The enemy counterattacked me, and with one palm strike, he retreated several steps back, involuntarily loosening his grip on the knife.

  I slowly turned around, took a look at the enemy who ambushed me in front of me, and suddenly laughed helplessly. This enemy was actually the female leader of the Japanese ninja who had been captured by our Dragon Protection Unit and handed over to the military department.

  It seems that the military department really has someone who secretly colludes with the Japanese pirates, otherwise, during the war period, the captured Japanese ninja would never appear here again.

  That female ninja had a thread of fresh blood at the corner of her mouth, and it seemed that I was injured by her palm. I heard her shrill laughter: "Jinkang, I finally avenged my comrades who were killed by your Dragon Guard, haha..."

  Her Huaxia language is very good, if I didn't know she was a Wo pirate beforehand, I would have thought she was just an ordinary Huaxia person.

  I didn't dare to take out the knife in my body, because if I did, I would die from excessive blood loss. I gazed coldly at the female ninja: "How did you get out?"

  The female ninja laughed and said: "You can't expect me to reveal any information from my mouth... I was prepared to sacrifice myself when I came out. Originally, I didn't plan to find you, but unexpectedly Wang Zhan told me that he knew you were here...... Haha, heaven helped me, and I finally got what I wanted, killing you with my own hands, haha..."

  Chen Jing and her cousin were completely stunned, standing in place and forgetting to come over to help me. I barely managed to stay upright, but the strength inside my body was rapidly draining away. I felt like I wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer, so I didn't say anything else, took a deep breath, and with a surge of adrenaline, pounced at the female ninja who had already been severely injured by me.

  The female ninja obviously underestimated me again, losing her reaction time and opportunity to be attacked by me. My iron fist accurately hit her chest, with great force, directly blasting her body out. Her body also fell down the stairs like Wang Zhan, heavily hitting the cement floor.

  With a sound similar to smashing a watermelon, I didn't see the person who killed me being killed by me, because at that time, I had already lost all my senses...

  "We all thought you were going to die this time..." A voice sounded in my ear: "You still have many things to do, and you haven't even brought your wife home... Do you know, I'm still waiting for you to take me home, how can you just leave me like this?"

  It seems like I heard those voices, yet it also seems like I didn't hear them at all. But by my ears, there were such voices coming in non-stop: "So in your heart, you're not willing to die like this, right? You still have your eyes open till now, even if you've lost consciousness, you won't close them. It's because you haven't married me yet, right? I promise you, as long as you wake up, I'll marry you. I don't want you to beg me, I...I'm promising you now...Wake up, okay?"

  "How can you be so irresponsible? We're all still waiting for you..."

  "Brother, wake up..."

  "You are the eldest disciple of Wudang, you will also take over the Wudang sect in the future, how can you die now..."

  "Wake me up when you're done, I'm still waiting for you to save me..."

  "Wake up...... wake up......"

  It's so noisy! I couldn't bear it anymore, and then suddenly I came to my senses. With a blank expression, I stared at everything around me and muttered: "Why didn't you turn on the lights?"

  The annoying sounds around my ears suddenly disappeared. The surroundings were quiet. No, this wasn't quietness, but deathly stillness.

  I was startled and suddenly thought of a possibility: wasn't I already dead? And the place where I am now is the legendary hell...

  But it doesn't feel right, because there's no mountain of knives and sea of fire, nor is there an ox head or horse face.

  I tried to sit up, but my head suddenly hit something. I reached out to touch it and felt like an iron plate.

  I immediately thought: Am I being packed into some kind of iron box?

  Am I already dead, cremated and placed in an urn?

  This is unlikely because I can still feel my body and my hands can still touch this iron box. Moreover, I am still breathing.

  Proof that I wasn't dead, my mood suddenly relaxed. However, what puzzled me was how did I end up being put into this iron box?

  I thought back to what happened before and remembered that I was injured. I must have been put into this iron box by Chen Jing or someone else after I got hurt.

  I touched the wound on my abdomen, and although it's still there, I don't feel any pain, so it should be recovering. The other wounds on me are also like this, and I believe they're all in the process of recovery.

  This is good news, for me there's nothing better than not being dead.

  I still have many things to do and don't want to die like this.

  I tried to find a way out on the iron box, but failed. The iron box is very small, I can lie still, but it's hard to sit up. There is no door or gate to go out, and it seems to be completely sealed.

  I pounded on the iron box with my fists, wanting to let people outside know that I had woken up and get me out. However, after several attempts, there was no effect. It seems that there is no one outside or the sound of my pounding is not loud enough for people outside to hear.

  Through my observation and exploration, I found that there are several pipes as thick as fingers on the iron box, and fresh air is transmitted from the pipes, which can be used for me to breathe.

  Time slowly passed, and I felt hungry. However, I didn't know when I could get out of this iron box, so I didn't get excited or panicked because of hunger. Instead, I closed my eyes, slowly circulated the Wudang Heart Method, and slowly fell asleep.

  A sleeping person consumes the least amount of physical strength. I must ensure my own physical strength now, otherwise, maybe in the next moment, I will really die.

  I slept for a long time, until I felt that I couldn't bear the hunger anymore, then I woke up. Then I started knocking on the iron box with my fists, wanting to let people outside know that I was awake.

  I actually tried this method before, but it didn't work at all. Now I also have a "dying horse kicks" mentality, with an attitude of trying to see if it works again.

  Perhaps it was not my fate to die, and this time my knocks really got a response. I heard an excited voice echoing with my knocks: "Wake up, Jin Cang woke up... Open the door quickly and let him out."

  The voice is very familiar and intimate. It's Chen Jing's voice, I recognized it at once.

  "So I said loudly: 'Chen Jing, are you outside?'"

  Chen Jing replied loudly: "I'm outside, we'll let you out now..."

  I think Chen Jing's words are really what make me feel close to her, so I immediately said loudly: "Hurry up and let me out, I'm starving to death."

  Chen Jing's movements were quick, and the iron box was immediately opened. My eyes involuntarily closed, and the strong light outside made my eyes very uncomfortable.

  After I slowly got used to the light outside, when I opened my eyes, I found that apart from Chen Jing, there were actually others looking at me. I immediately sat up and laughed loudly: "You're all here? Haha..."

  Chen Jing immediately smiled and said: "Look how happy you are, Hui Jie and the others arrived early, um... ten days ago, they were already here."

  I had forgotten about hunger. I laughed and said, "Ten days ago... I slept for a long time... It's been a long time since we last met, how are you all?"

  Zhou Hui is still the same as ever, seemingly without any change. She said: "How do you feel? Why are you so careless and got hurt so badly?"

  I forced a smile and said, "Let's just forget about past matters. Sister Hui, now that I've seen you both, all the unpleasantness of the past is forgotten."

  "Afterwards, someone said to her: 'You can't not pay attention to safety either, you know? Huanhuan heard that you were injured and was worried as well as angry. She said she wouldn't come see you.'"

  The person speaking is Dongfang Yu, and I see that she has changed a lot. Not only has she become more beautiful, but also much more mature. Compared to the previous Dongfang Yu, this one is almost completely different. However, this change is good, at least, that's how I feel.

  I looked at Dongfang Yu and couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that you've been doing very well recently, and haven't suffered any grievances like Chen Jing and I were worried about."

  Dongfang Yuliang said: "You still have the nerve to say you're worried about me, I haven't even received a single message from you, your concern is too hypocritical."

  I smiled wryly again: "Actually I've called you guys before, unfortunately no one answered."

  "I know, Sister Chen Jing told us. That's why I didn't get angry with you, otherwise I would have left like Huanhuan sister and not cared about you."

  I glanced at Bai Feng and Du Yifei, who had been silent all along, and smiled: "How did you guys come too? Hasn't there been anything going on at the research base recently?"

  Du Yifei's eyes were a bit red, and she said: "Our research task is completed, now it has entered the stage of mass production, so we are on vacation."

  I looked into her eyes and said: "Your eyes..."

  "Dongfang Yu hastily said: 'It's all because of taking care of you, I didn't sleep the whole night, that's why it's like this! You, don't even know to thank Fei Fei.'"

  I looked at Du Yifei and said carefully: "You've been guarding me all along, actually... actually I woke up once before, but at that time I didn't know how to open this iron box... by the way, what is this box used for?"

  Chen Jing said in a low voice, "This is our newly developed medical device, which has not been named yet. It can promote the regeneration of muscles and bones in the injured part of the human body, and is specially used to prevent external trauma infection and treat external trauma."

  I nodded: "It seems that this thing is quite useful... by the way, what about Old Chen? How is he now? Didn't Wang Yingzu and them take revenge on you?"

  "How can there be no revenge? Recently, unidentified people have been attacking our office building, and several times they almost hurt my grandfather. Now we are forced to move here... This is a backup underground base, the enemy has not found it yet."

  I smiled wryly: "It seems that my impulsiveness has caused you all a lot of trouble. Is Old Chen okay now? Once I recover, I'll go find Wang Yingzu to settle the score..."

  Qian Jing hastily interrupted me: "Don't even think about it... you still haven't learned your lesson, have you? You're already injured like this. If it weren't for the newly developed medical equipment, it's hard to say whether you'll recover or not..."

  I took a look at my own body, and only then did I realize that my upper body was full of scars. The wounds on my abdomen and other places had already healed, and even the scars were very faint. It seems that this unnamed medical device is really effective, and it's no wonder it's a newly developed new-style medical device.

  Bai Feng suddenly said at this time: "Huan Huan sister has not come in for so long, I am worried that there are enemies invading again. I will go to help her, you guys chat slowly."

  Bai Feng finished speaking, looked at me for a moment, and then turned around to leave. Zhou Hui immediately said: "I'll go with you, just the two of you with Huan Huan, I'm not at ease."

  Du Yifei and Dongfang Yu also said: "Wait a minute, we're all going."

  As a result, more than half of the people in the house suddenly dispersed, leaving only me and Chen Jing. Chen Jing looked at me and said: "I'll go out and take a look, and I'll bring you some food."

  I was feeling quite hungry, so I nodded: "Okay."

  Chen Jingling glanced at me deeply when she was about to leave, her eyes clearly saying: "Be careful, with so many people surrounding you, let's see how you handle it..."

  I secretly sighed in my heart, but didn't dare say anything, watching Chen Jing leave.

  After Chen Jing walked away, I turned around and said calmly: "Your hiding technique is very clever, you must be a Japanese ninja? Since you're here, why hide again?"

  A cold voice said, "You are indeed the instructor of the Dragon Guard, to be able to detect my heartbeat among so many people. I have long heard of your great name, and today I see that it is well-deserved."

  I gazed at a handsome man in black who slowly appeared and said faintly: "Sir, you have invaded my room, what instructions do you have?"

  "This man in black had a cold expression: 'I'm Matsumoto Sukkai, you can call me Matsumoto. I won't be giving any advice, just came to chat with you.'"

  I let out a faint sigh: "So it's really a Japanese ninja pirate. Want to chat with me? I doubt it! You must be here to kill me this time, right?"

  Matsumoto Sukkai slightly raised an eyebrow and then nodded: "I'm here to kill you."

  I laughed: "You've gone to great lengths to lure away all of my companions, before killing me, you should still have something to say to me. I wonder what you want to say?"

  Matsumoto Sukkai's cold face suddenly had a hint of surprise: "You're very clever. I like dealing with clever people."

  I let out a soft sigh: "Your companions, in order to lure away my friends, attacked one of my friends. Her name is Li Huanhuan. I don't know how she's doing now?"

  Matsumoto Sukkai smiled and said, "Don't worry, that Miss Li is very clever. We couldn't catch her... She escaped. I think she must have gone to find help, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would abandon her friends."

  I nodded slightly: "You guessed it right, Huanhuan sister will not abandon us."

  Matsumoto Sukkai's face turned cold: "So I'll kill you in the shortest time possible, otherwise your people will come to rescue you."

  I nodded slightly again: "You're absolutely right, it's better to get rid of me as soon as possible. Otherwise, once my friends arrive, you'll be dead for sure."

  Matsumoto Sukkai gazed at me calmly and said, "The sympathy card won't work on me. I won't go easy on you just because you're a patient. Your existence is a huge threat to us, and the only way I'll feel safe is if you're dead."

  "I laughed: 'Then let's get started.'"

  Matsumoto Suketsugu was taken aback: "You really aren't afraid of death?"

  I shook my head: "I'm scared! Actually I'm very afraid of death, otherwise this time my injury would have taken my life."

  Matsumoto Suketsune said, "I don't understand what you're saying."

  "I'm telling you, Matsumoto-san," I said. "Someone who's not afraid of death will keep fighting even after being seriously injured. As a result, they'll either die from excessive blood loss or be killed by the enemy again. Either way, it's easy to end up really dead. On the other hand, someone who is afraid of death will try to escape once they're injured, avoiding further harm and excessive blood loss. That way, can't they avoid dying too quickly?"

  Matsumoto Suketsugu stared at me blankly for a while, unable to understand what I meant.

  I looked at him with a puzzled face, and then said: "In other words, people who are afraid of death will try their best to avoid harm, so they won't die too quickly. But it's different for those who aren't afraid of death, they always bravely face death, and generally speaking, they easily meet their demise."

  Matsumoto Sukkai nodded slightly: "Although I don't quite understand what you mean, however...I feel like you're stalling for time, waiting for someone to come and rescue you. Right?"

  I laughed: "A clever person is indeed different, and my intention has been revealed so quickly. It seems that this time I am doomed to die, you are too clever... Before I die, can you tell me why you want to kill me?"

  Matsumoto Sukkai frowned and said: "You are our enemy, isn't it a normal thing for us to come and kill you?"

  I said seriously: "Don't talk behind people's backs, you are a Japanese pirate, but I can see that you are not from the military faction of the pirates. On the contrary, you are an assassin."

  Matsumoto Sukkai was taken aback again: "How did you find out? Has my information been leaked, and even the Chinese military knows about it?"

  I shook my head: "Whether your information has been leaked or not, I don't know. I just saw it from your every move. Soldiers have the style of soldiers, and killers also have the temperament of killers... In short, I guessed right, you are a killer. So, there must be someone who sent you to kill me. Now I just want to know, who is the one who wants to kill me?"

  Matsumoto Sukkai's eyebrows furrowed even deeper: "You're too clever, so I won't keep you around..." His words were left unfinished as he suddenly vanished into thin air...

  No, he didn't disappear, but rather went into hiding.

  He vanished into thin air right before my eyes, just like he suddenly disappeared.

  But I knew he was now in a corner of this room, preparing to make a fatal blow against me.

  I closed my eyes and waited quietly for Matsumoto's thunderous blow as if resigned to my fate.

  The room was silent, all I could hear was my own heartbeat and breathing.

  Matsumoto Suketsugu's hiding technique is very skilled, and he can even control his own heartbeat. However, I believe that he has only temporarily controlled his heartbeat, and the time won't be too long. After all, a person's heartbeat is the most instinctual thing, and artificial control cannot truly make one's heartbeat completely stop.

  Unless it's a dead person, only a dead person's heartbeat will truly disappear.

  So I closed my eyes and carefully distinguished any possible sounds, secretly gathering my strength, preparing to give him an unexpected surprise the moment Matsumoto Sukai made a mistake.

  Absolutely deadly surprise!

  Time slowly passed by, and Matsumoto Suketsugu still didn't make any further moves. I also didn't make any extra moves, just closing my eyes and waiting.

  "Jin Cang..." Chen Jing's voice rang out inopportunely, and she herself appeared at the door of the room.

  I opened my eyes and hastily said: "Don't come in..."

  My words were cut off, and I felt an extremely faint sound coming from my left side. Before I could think much about it, I instinctively threw a punch to my left, shouting: "Matsumoto Sukeroku, watch the fist!"

  A voice was heard, saying in great surprise: "How did you know I was on your left?!"

  My fist struck Matsumoto Joichi, and he appeared in his true form, standing still on the spot, with a look of surprise on his face, but it was unclear whether he was injured or not.

  I felt my fist seemed to have really hit him, and with my current strength, this punch was enough for him to take. So I smiled and said: "When you make a move, there will still be some wind noise, after all, your stealth technique is not true invisibility, and there are still some signs that can be detected."

  Matsumoto Sukkai's appearance shocked Chen Jing extremely, she was stunned for a moment and then wanted to rush over, but was stopped by my raised hand.

  Matsumoto Sukkai didn't even glance at Chen Jing, but instead stared at me motionlessly and said in a very calm tone: "You're indeed formidable... I underestimated you..."

  His words stopped there, and a thread of fresh blood suddenly emerged from the corner of his mouth. Next, more blood gushed out of his mouth, and he said intermittently: "I... I shouldn't have come here... Jin Cang... I told you... it was Wang Yingzu... who asked us to come and kill you..."

  I smiled: "I guessed it."

  Matsumoto Sukkai's mouth was still bleeding, but he smiled faintly and said with his last strength: "Be careful of the people around you..."

  His last words shocked me, and as I looked at him falling down with his eyes still open, I let out a soft sigh, took a step forward, and helped close his eyes: "Although you came to kill me, I still want to thank you for the advice you gave me in the end."

  Chen Jing said with a lingering fear: "It's another good deed done by Wang Yingzu, it seems he has made up his mind to take revenge on you. In the future, there will be more retaliatory actions against you, we need to be more careful."

  I nodded slightly, looking at Chen Jing and smiled: "It's okay, I'll be careful. You guys should also be more careful, if Wang Yingzu can't find trouble with me, he might take it out on you."

  Chen Jing's face was full of worry, but she said firmly: "Don't worry, with you protecting us, what are we afraid of?"

  I smiled and reached out to hold her hand...
