At this moment, Zuo Lin'an stood at the corner of the entryway, holding a knife in one hand and a club in the other.
He was waiting as well.
The people still inside the room were extremely anxious.
“Don't be afraid, everyone! With so many of us rushing out together, there's no way he can block us all, no matter how strong he is!”
“But the doorway is so narrow. If we want to charge out, we can only go one by one. The first two or three are bound to get knocked out by him.”
Once someone was knocked out, Xu Youyou would need a moment to move them out of the way. Only then would the people behind them have a chance to escape.
But none of them wanted to sacrifice themselves to save the others.
After all, they had just seen Xu Youyou knock someone out with a single punch!
Someone born with that kind of monstrous strength was impossible to beat in a fight without weapons.
“Wait, isn't Wang Hu's corpse still here? Let's throw the body at him!”
Although the head had fallen off, it was still a body. They could throw it to distract Xu Youyou.
“Wait a minute!”
Someone suddenly realized something.
“This doesn't make sense. If Wang Hu is already dead, why is this newcomer coming after us?”
At that point, another realization hit him, making his scalp tingle with fear.
“Oh no!”
“We were so shocked by Wang Hu's corpse that we completely overlooked the most important point!”
“Something is wrong!”
Someone stepped forward and whipped off the blanket. The result...
Hiss!
Seeing the true state of Wang Hu's body, everyone instinctively took a step back.
“This?!”
“Wang Hu didn't die of natural causes—he was murdered!”
As soon as those words were spoken, a chill ran down everyone's spines.
Then, their eyes turned once again to Xu Youyou, who stood outside the door, making no move to enter.
“It was you...”
“You're so strong. If it's you, you could easily snap a man's limbs like twigs.”
“You killed Wang Hu! You committed murder!”
“Wait, no! If you killed someone, why are you still alive?”
Having asked this, they finally realized that the Xu Youyou standing before them was not as simple as they had thought.
“You're not a criminal!”
“If you were like us, you'd have to obey the rule against killing. But you killed someone and nothing happened to you. That means you're a hunter from the training base!”
Xu Youyou stood quietly by the doorway. He clearly had no intention of chatting with them, looking very much like a predator waiting for its prey to deliver itself.
Wang Hu's disjointed corpse lay on the bed, untouched by anyone.
Now, they only had one choice left.
“I'll charge out first to hold him off. The rest of you find an opportunity to run. Remember, do not run together! Scatter in all directions!”
“Whoever makes it out must return to the settlement as quickly as possible and report the situation to Boss Zhao.”
“Tell him there's a hunter here on Wang Hu's turf.”
“Tell him this hunter killed Wang Hu, killed many people, and slaughtered dozens of our brothers. Tell him to bring his men and avenge us!”
“And tell Boss Zhao that this territory is now up for grabs. Once he gets rid of that guy, everything here will be his! Do you all understand?”
With someone volunteering to hold off Xu Youyou, the others were only too glad to agree.
“We understand.”
“Good. Then let's do it... Charge!!”
As soon as the word left his mouth, the speaker bolted forward. But at the very last second, he spun slightly, grabbed the man behind him, and shoved him forward.
He threw his companion right in front of Xu Youyou. Stepping back, Xu Youyou casually swung his palm.
With a light slap, he knocked the man out and tossed him aside.
However, this brief distraction allowed two others to slip past him.
They instinctively bolted toward the main door. But just as they rounded the corner of the entryway, a club struck the frontrunner squarely on the forehead. With a dull thud, the man collapsed instantly.
“Fuck! There's an ambush!”
The second man tried to pivot and run in another direction, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flash of cold light heading straight for him. He instinctively ducked, but this split-second dodge cost him his escape.
Zuo Lin'an brought his club down hard, knocking the second runner out cold.
Now, only eight conscious prey remained.
By now, Xu Youyou was blocking the bedroom doorway again. Facing these men who had completely lost their will to fight, dealing with them was incredibly easy.
After he knocked out two more, the remaining six charged toward Zuo Lin'an. One of them had grabbed a chair on his way.
“This guy is the newcomer's accomplice!”
“He has a knife in his hand!”
“It's a boning knife! I used a boning knife to kill someone back then, I can recognize it!”
“He's from the training base too! He won't die for killing people in Sin Hunter City! Everyone, watch out!”
At this, they couldn't help but picture the gruesome state of Wang Hu's corpse.
So bloody and brutal... They certainly didn't want to die like that!
Sin Hunter City. The meaning of the name was simple: a city for hunting criminals.
Ever since they had learned of the training base's existence, they realized this city wasn't created solely to torture heinous death row inmates. It was established by the authorities specifically for exceptional talents.
These people were the hunters.
And they, the criminals, were the prey prepared specifically for these hunters.
“They don't die for killing us, but...”
The man paused, then roared at the top of his lungs.
“At the same time, we won't die for killing them either!”
“This guy is clearly weaker! Let's go, kill him!”
Zuo Lin'an hadn't expected to be treated as the easy target.
One of them rushed at him while lifting a chair. Even though Zuo Lin'an had a knife, he couldn't just take the blow head-on.
He spun around and retreated a short distance to dodge their assault.
However, these people had no intention of pursuing him, or rather, they had no intention of actually killing him.
Their shouting just now was merely a ruse to create an opportunity to escape.
After all, Zuo Lin'an was holding a knife and blocking the doorway.
Now that he had stepped aside, the group could rush toward the exit.
But unfortunately for them, the door was locked.
To get out of here, they either had to find the key or break the door down.
Zuo Lin'an sneered inwardly.
The correct choice would have been to look for a window. The glass could easily be shattered with a single punch, but this door...
By now, the six of them had also realized this.
“Damn it, the door won't open! Go for the windows!”
But it was already too late. Zuo Lin'an and Xu Youyou were blocking both sides.
“It seems if we want to leave, we have to kill them first.”
Zuo Lin'an's gaze swept past them. There were only six left now.
They stood... absolutely no chance.
