Seeing Wang Tian getting closer and closer to Li Zhichen, Qi Lixiao's chest boiled with uncontrollable anger.
He clung tightly to the edge of the flatbed cart with the few fingers he could still move, using all his strength to shift his shoulders and struggling to stand up!
But how could a cripple have the strength? No matter how hard he tried, he didn't move an inch.
Before long, the rough wood had rubbed blood beads out of Qi Lixiao's fingertips. Fine sweat continuously trickled down his forehead, and the veins on his neck bulged. His movements were awkward and clumsy.
Seeing this, the other men laughed even more wildly and even imitated Qi Lixiao's movements.
Only the brothel woman was silent for a moment. She really didn't expect that a cripple would fight so desperately for the woman he loved.
So she let out a couple of cold snorts and said, "You're quite infatuated, but who would be willing to stay by a cripple's side?"
Hearing this, the people around burst into laughter, but Qi Lixiao didn't care about anything. How he wished he could stand up like a normal person at this moment. All he wanted was to protect Li Zhichen!
Li Zhichen stared at Qi Lixiao from afar, taking in his appearance at this moment. A rare look of stupefaction flashed across her face.
Her bright eyes, which were usually so lively, suddenly turned into a bottomless lake, so dark and eerie that it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
At the same time, Wang Tian's fat hands reached out towards Li Zhichen's clothes.
Just as he was about to touch her, he seemed to hear a cold laugh from the person in front of him.
Wang Tian was startled and looked up suddenly. He saw that Li Zhichen's expression instantly turned extremely ferocious. She swung her fist and punched him right in the face!
The powerful wind carried a murderous intent. The lust - addled Wang Tian was completely unprepared and took the punch head - on!
In an instant, Wang Tian felt a buzzing in his ears. Then, his vision went black and the world started spinning!
By the time he came to his senses, he was already lying on the ground.
Wang Tian felt his face in a daze. He first felt a bit of coolness on his nose, and then it gradually grew hot. After a moment, a bone - chilling pain shot through him!
His nasal bone was broken!
"Aaaah!!!"
Wang Tian let out a hoarse scream and rolled on the ground clutching his nose.
The men who had been jeering and laughing just now suddenly fell silent and stared at what was happening in disbelief!
They never expected that the woman who looked so gentle and harmless would actually start a fight. For a moment, they were all stunned on the spot.
"You bitch!" Wang Tian's face turned deathly pale from the pain, and he gasped for air.
In all his years, not even his parents had ever laid a finger on him. How dare this woman hit him?!
Thinking of this, Wang Tian stared at Li Zhichen venomously, wishing he could grind her to dust. He shouted angrily, "Slut! If I don't fuck you to death today, I won't be called Wang! And as for this cripple, I'll kill him too and feed him to the dogs..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Zhichen walked up to him. She looked down at Wang Tian from above. Her dark eyes were like impenetrable ink, and a sudden glint of cold and cruel light flashed through them, fiercer than a pack of wolves on a snowy mountain!
Wang Tian was stunned and felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
Li Zhichen slowly squatted down to look into Wang Tian's eyes and reached out to grab his hair.
"Are you done talking?"
Wang Tian was greatly shocked. Li Zhichen looked so delicate, but the hand on his head felt like an iron hammer. He couldn't break free at all!
He was a bit flustered and swallowed hard as he threatened, "Do you... do you know who my father is? He's the wealthy merchant Wang in Qingyang County, and my brother - in - law works in the yamen. You..."
Li Zhichen scoffed disdainfully and then swung her fist at him with full force. Every punch landed solidly on his body, and her slender arms left after - images in the air!
Wang Tian was completely dumbfounded. He was always the one who bullied and beat others. He never thought that one day he would be beaten down by a woman!
For a moment, the entire wilderness fell silent. All that could be heard were Li Zhichen's punches and Wang Tian's howls!
At first, Wang Tian still cursed and swore, but he didn't expect that the more he said, the harder Li Zhichen would hit!
After five or six punches, he finally couldn't hold on anymore and cried out, "You guys... what are you standing there for? Save me!"
The men finally came to their senses. They cursed loudly, picked up the wooden sticks and bricks on the ground, and rushed towards Li Zhichen.
But unexpectedly, Li Zhichen didn't even try to dodge. She reached out and grabbed one of the men's forearms and folded it back forcefully!
With a soft "snap", the man's face instantly turned ashen, and he let out a series of dying wails!
Li Zhichen let go of him and scanned the people around one by one. A splash of Wang Tian's blood was on one side of her fair cheek, but there was a faint smile on her lips.
"Who's next? Or do you want to come at me together?"
Hearing this, the others were all stunned. They saw the ferocity and rage in Li Zhichen's eyes and looked at the two men who were lying on the ground. They all froze on the spot.
Go forward? Were they crazy?
Over the years, they had been running amok with Wang Tian, doing all kinds of evil. Ordinary people would run away at the sight of them, and they felt so proud.
But today, looking at Li Zhichen, they felt their legs go weak for no reason. They didn't even have the courage to run away!
This woman was clearly a desperado, a bone - crunching monster!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Zhichen slowly stood up. Her plain white clothes fluttered in the cold wind, and her long hair flew in the air. She actually had a cold and murderous beauty!
Qi Lixiao stared blankly at Li Zhichen. His heart skipped a beat and then started pounding like a drum. He couldn't bear to take his eyes off her.
Li Zhichen strode up to Qi Lixiao, picked up a stone from the flatbed cart, and asked coldly, "Who threw this stone?"
Li Zhichen was always a vengeful person. She would avenge the humiliation these people had heaped on Qi Lixiao with their words.
And she would definitely avenge the act of them throwing stones at Qi Lixiao!
Qi Lixiao's lips trembled slightly. He felt as if something deep inside him had been suddenly stirred. Then, an indescribable sense of sorrow spread from his heart to his whole body, breaking through the long - suppressed pain and bitterness.
What had he done to deserve Li Zhichen's kindness?
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously looked at the man at the back of the group.
The man watched Li Zhichen walking towards him slowly. His legs trembled like a sieve, and for a moment, he even forgot to breathe.
By the time he came to his senses, Li Zhichen was already in front of him. She kicked him in the abdomen and flipped him over onto the ground!
"You like throwing stones, don't you? Well, I'll let you have your fill today."
Before anyone could react, they saw Li Zhichen suddenly reach out and grab the man's neck. She used his head like a ball and smashed it against the ground again and again!
Thud! Thud! Thud! A terrifying sound echoed continuously!
Li Zhichen was incredibly strong. After just two hits, the man's face was covered in blood. It was a horrifying sight!
This scene was so brutal that the brothel woman's face turned deathly pale. Her face twitched uncontrollably, and a chill ran down her spine to the top of her head!
When she saw Li Zhichen's gaze turn towards her, she let out a scream and fainted on the spot!
Li Zhichen indifferently withdrew her gaze, but the curve of her lips became even more pronounced.
"Who on earth gave you the guts to bully the people I care about when I'm not around? Hmmm?"
