"Everyone has to die."
The man's face was contorted in a grotesque mask, like a demon crawled out of hell. His hoarse voice scraped like glass, sharp and piercing.
"You all have to die."
He snarled and laughed maniacally, desperately trying to wrench the knife from Chen Yang's grasp.
Fortunately, Gao Feng had already rushed over with a metal pipe. Seeing that he couldn't snatch the boning knife from Chen Yang, a spark of madness flashed in the man's eyes.
He released the handle and lunged directly at Chen Yang, opening his mouth to bite at Chen Yang's neck.
"Damn it!"
Chen Yang was dumbfounded. This guy was a lunatic.
Like a wild beast!
"Bang."
But Chen Yang had learned a few moves from spending so much time with Lei Baoguo in Feishi. He hadn't slacked off during his time repairing the canal at home either.
Even in his haste, he didn't panic. He kicked straight at the stomach of the lunging madman.
The man hadn't expected Chen Yang to react so quickly. He took a hard kick and was sent flying by Chen Yang.
"Wukang, Gao Feng, act."
Chen Yang didn't care about the pain. He gripped the blade with both hands. His palms, having held it so tightly, were now a bloody mess.
The pain was so intense that he couldn't let go. If he released his grip, he feared he might sever a major blood vessel and bleed out.
"Everyone has to die, all of them have to die."
The madman, kicked down by Chen Yang, scrambled back up and charged at Chen Yang again.
His single-minded focus on one person, completely disregarding everything else, was chilling.
However, after Chen Yang's shout, Zhao Wukang also snapped back to reality. He drew the iron pipe from his waist.
He swung it down at the charging madman's head.
This bastard clearly wanted to kill them. If they didn't fight back now, and Chen Yang was harmed, none of them would escape.
But this madman's movements were incredibly agile. He grabbed the iron pipe Zhao Wukang was swinging at his head.
Despite his short stature, barely reaching Zhao Wukang's shoulders, his strength was astonishing. With a single tug, he almost wrenched the iron pipe from Zhao Wukang's hands.
"Die."
Just as they were locked in a stalemate, Gao Feng rushed over and swung his iron pipe down on him.
With the two of them locked in a struggle, the madman couldn't win by pulling, so he could only bend down to dodge. He avoided a direct hit to the head, but Gao Feng's iron pipe still struck his hand.
Gao Feng's strength was such that even if his arm wasn't broken, it wouldn't be in good shape. A normal person would have dropped the iron pipe from the pain by now.
But the madman showed no reaction, not even a scream.
"Bang."
In the next second, his pupils dilated, his eyes bulging as if they would pop out.
Chen Yang, still uneasy, delivered several more kicks to the man's groin.
Kung fu is a killing technique!
Lei Baoguo had told him that no matter the move, if it could subdue the opponent, it was a useful move.
Gao Feng's iron pipe strike had no effect on the madman, and Chen Yang was starting to panic.
Fortunately, while the madman's attention was focused on Zhao Wukang and Gao Feng, he delivered a fierce kick to the man's groin.
This kick finally taught the madman a lesson.
"Damn it, I thought you were made of iron."
Chen Yang kicked him over ten times. The first kick made the madman curl up in pain. With the subsequent kicks, he turned white, rolled his eyes, and passed out.
After the madman was knocked out by the pain, Zhao Wukang and Gao Feng still dared not relax. They held him down tightly, then quickly used the rope from the car that had been used to bind the iron pipe to tie the madman's hands and feet.
"Brother-in-law, your hand."
After finishing this, Zhao Wukang finally remembered that Chen Yang had grabbed the knife with his hand, saving his life.
"Tear open my shirt. My shirt is cotton. Help me bandage my wound."
"Wukang, Gao Feng, break his legs and tie him to a tree nearby. We're going back to the city, back to find the police."
Chen Yang didn't dare to stay and guard this madman. What if he had accomplices? While unlikely, if the three of them separated, something could happen.
Since this madman wanted to kill them, he wouldn't be blamed for being ruthless and breaking his legs.
"Brother-in-law, why not just..."
Zhao Wukang looked at Chen Yang's bloody hands and gritted his teeth, preparing to grab the boning knife Chen Yang had released.
"You idiot. He wanted to kill us. Breaking his hands and legs and tying him to a tree so he can't run is enough. If it's confirmed that he's the killer from the previous case, the police won't let him go."
"We've lived our lives cleanly. We don't need to dirty our hands for such a scourge."
"Be ruthless, just don't kill him. Cripple his hands and legs. He tried to take our lives just now. Not killing him is already being polite."
Chen Yang gritted his teeth. Damn it, he almost capsized in a ditch.
He had originally thought that the three of them, as grown men with iron pipes, would deter anyone from having malicious intentions. He hadn't expected to run into a madman.
Looking at his fierce determination, an ordinary person would have been terrified into inaction.
Zhao Wukang had been stunned at first. If he hadn't discovered it quickly, he would have been dead.
The main thing was that this madman's skills were frighteningly agile and his movements were practiced. Chen Yang hadn't noticed when Zhao Wukang had been taken off the car at all, there wasn't a sound.
They had followed them all the way, and they hadn't noticed. If Chen Yang hadn't heard Zhao Wukang's lack of response and subconsciously looked back, Zhao Wukang and his precious little cotton-padded jacket would have been in grave danger this time.
"Daddy, so much blood."
The little child had been scared silent and only now reacted, looking at Chen Yang's bloody hands.
The little one burst into tears.
Chen Yang was also feeling agitated. This time, they had not only almost lost their lives, but his daughter and son would likely be left with lasting trauma.
"Don't be scared, don't be scared. Daddy doesn't hurt."
"We'll find a doctor to treat the wound later."
Chen Yang shielded the little one's gaze, preventing her from seeing Zhao Wukang and Gao Feng breaking the madman's limbs behind them.
Chen Hao also climbed out from the bicycle seat. The two little ones were terrified and clung to their father.
After a while, Gao Feng and Zhao Wukang returned, covered in sweat. It wasn't from exhaustion, but entirely from fear.
They were ordinary people and had never used such cruel methods before. If they hadn't seen the madman's brutal methods with their own eyes and feared he would escape when he woke up, they wouldn't have dared to break his limbs.
Zhao Wukang used the knife to cut open his shirt and quickly wrapped Chen Yang's hand. After a long time, he recovered. Gao Feng wasn't much better. Although he was in the security department,
in those days, they only caught petty thieves. They had never seen such a scene. Not peeing themselves was already a good sign.
"Let's go, back to the county town immediately. Wukang, you ride the bike with me to the hospital. Gao Feng, as soon as you get into town, find the police and tell them to arrest this madman. Don't let him escape."
