School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"Aren't you afraid?" Xiao Han asked, puzzled.

Chen Tie snorted coldly, then said, "Afraid!"

"Then why don't you submit?" Xiao Han challenged.

"I would rather cut off my own arm than sacrifice my dignity!" Chen Tie roared.

"Fine!" Xiao Han nodded, "Then I'll oblige you!"

Having said that, Xiao Han, carrying a machete, walked over.

Crack...

With one swift motion of his hand, Xiao Han brought down the knife. With the flash of the blade, blood spattered three feet, and an arm fell to the ground.

Chen Tie was tough; he covered the place where his arm had been, yet he didn't make a sound.

"Big Brother!" The younger brothers ran over one after another.

"Quick... Call an ambulance!" someone shouted.

Clang...

Xiao Han threw the knife down, then turned and walked toward Zhang Feng and the others.

"Let's go," Xiao Han said.

"Let's go, let's go!" They all nodded in agreement.

Afterward, they left the small grove.

Zhang Feng and the others were silent, not uttering a word. They were deeply shaken by Xiao Han's just-now ruthless and cruel side. It profoundly impacted their hearts and made them realize a different side of Xiao Han, recognizing his extraordinary nature.

"Xiao Han, you..." Zhang Dagou tried to break the ice, but once he began to speak, he didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Han asked, puzzled.

Zhang Dagou was stunned for a moment, then said, "I... I just wanted to say that... that you didn't need to chop off their arms just now!"

"Yeah!" Liu Bin hurriedly nodded, saying, "Too cruel, I... I was scared just watching."

"Maybe..." Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Maybe Xiao Han has his own ideas."

Xiao Han smiled and halted in his tracks. The others behind him also stopped.

"If you must talk about cruelty, indeed it was cruel!" Xiao Han smiled and said, "But what kind of methods are used depends on the kinds of people being dealt with. Among these thugs, which one isn't ruthless? Which one doesn't have blood on their hands? The reason I chopped off their arms was simply to make them fear us from now on, so that they would never dare to move against us again."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"Xiao Han is right," Zhang Feng nodded, "If we don't show them something fierce today, they will continue to cause us trouble in the future."

"Hmm!" Zhang Dagou nodded.

It seemed everyone agreed, but psychologically, there was still a shadow. After all, witnessing an amputation right in front of their eyes, such a bloody scene would probably leave them with a psychological shadow in the future.

The group returned to the university.

Ambulances with their sirens wailing soon arrived at the small grove outside the university. Three people had their arms chopped off: a little brother from the Axe Gang, Old Liu, and Chen Tie. The sight of three people with severed arms was truly shocking.

On one ambulance, three men with severed limbs were stuffed inside, with a doctor carrying three arms rushing toward the ambulance.

The ambulance, carrying the three men with severed arms, hurried to the hospital.

The remaining members of the Axe Gang lingered in the small woods, feeling humiliated by the night's battle. Twelve of them failed to beat four university students and instead had their leader's arm chopped off.

The news spread quickly.

All the major bars and places were buzzing with the story.

It started with a few petty thugs witnessing it, then the news spread. It was as if it had grown wings.

"Did you hear? The Axe Gang was annihilated."

"For real?"

"That's impossible."

"It happened right outside Shuimu University, in the small woods. They were beaten so badly, even their boss Chen Tie had an arm chopped off!"

"Shit, that's explosive news."

Many people discussed it, and as the news spread, it became increasingly outrageous and shocking. Some people felt sick hearing it, while others spread the tale as gossip.

..............

On Ring City Road.

An entertainment club.

This was Hei Tie's territory. Hei Tie had also heard the news. At first, he thought it improbable. Although the Axe Gang could only be considered a third-rate gang in the provincial city, their boss, Chen Tie, was undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with. Just his pair of iron fists alone, who knows how many lives they could smash to death. Xiao Han might be fearsome, but it wasn't likely that he could annihilate someone's group.

"Is the news true?" Hei Tie asked curiously.

"It is true," Ye Shisan nodded.

"How do you know?" Hei Tie inquired.

"I specifically had someone ask around at the hospital. It's not just Chen Tie who got his arm chopped off; two others from the Axe Gang suffered the same fate," Ye Shisan looked seriously at Hei Tie and said, "However, Chen Tie is a disciple of the Iron Fist Sect. Did you know that?"

"I know a bit!" Hei Tie nodded.

"I actually see this as an opportunity," Ye Shisan smiled, then continued, "We can use the Iron Fist Sect to deal with Xiao Han."

"Iron Fist Sect?" Hei Tie paused for a moment, then replied, "Now that you mention it, it does seem somewhat reasonable."

"Hmm!" Ye Shisan nodded, then said, "I estimate Chen Tie is now dispirited. We can take this chance to visit him, offer some comfort, and find a way to collaborate with him later. Eventually, we can persuade him to have his sect intervene. What do you think?"

"Hmm!" Hei Tie nodded.

A sly smile curled on the corner of Ye Shisan's mouth.

In the hospital, Chen Tie's surgery went smoothly. Relative to modern medicine, reattaching an amputated limb isn't necessarily a difficult task. Chen Tie's surgery lasted two hours, and his severed arm got stitched back on. It's said that bones and muscles take a hundred days to recover, but it's likely that Chen Tie's arm is now useless. Even if it heals, he'll probably never be able to throw a punch again. What was the meaning of living a life without fighting, especially since he was a member of the Iron Fist Sect?

In the ward, many subordinates surrounded Chen Tie's hospital bed.

"Boss, how are you now?" the subordinates asked one after the other.

"I'm fine!" Chen Tie shook his head, saying, "The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet, so it's alright for now."

"Really fine?" asked a subordinate by his side.

"Hmm!" Chen Tie nodded, then asked, "By the way, how's Old Liu?"

"Big Brother Liu is fine too," the subordinate replied. "His wound was easier to stitch up than yours, so he was out over ten minutes ago. He's already asleep."

"That's good!" Hearing that Old Liu was fine, Chen Tie too breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, the Axe Gang had indeed encountered great trouble. What Chen Tie hadn't expected was that this calamity was brought upon by his own son. Upon learning that his father's arm had been severed and Uncle Liu had his arm chopped off by Xiao Han, Chen Xiaogang was so frightened he dared not leave the house, stripped of his prior bravado. Upon hearing his father and Uncle Liu had their arms chopped off, he hid in his room, too scared to come out, his body quaking in fear.

"Big brother, are we just going to let this go?" a subordinate hastily asked.

Chen Tie took a deep breath and replied, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

At this point, other than enduring, what else could be done? Although Chen Tie was eager for revenge, against such a powerful foe who could fight ten without falling behind, finding a few among the disciples of the Iron Fist Sect with such strength would be difficult. And their opponent was supposedly just a student?

Suddenly, Chen Tie felt it was inconceivable because in his view, a normal person couldn't possibly possess such strength. Thus, there could be only one reason... Xiao Han was not ordinary. Perhaps, he was a disciple from the Hidden Sects, just like himself. With this realization, Chen Tie was even more astounded; after all, encountering a disciple from a Hidden Sect in real life was as rare as winning five million in the lottery.

Just then, someone pushed open the door to the ward.

"Sect Leader Chen, you're not going to swallow your anger, are you?" a voice called from outside.

At the door, a man and a woman entered.

"It's you?" Chen Tie recognized the man; it was Hei Tie, the boss of the Provincial City Iron Alliance. Chen Tie frowned and asked, "Hei Tie, what are you doing here?"

"I heard Sect Leader Chen had an incident, so I came to visit. You're not going to turn me away, are you?" Hei Tie asked with a warm smile.

"Off you go," Chen Tie shook his head and replied, "Our Axe Gang and the Iron Alliance don't interfere with each other's water sources."

"Haha..." Upon hearing this, Hei Tie laughed out loud and said, "As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I'm also an enemy of Xiao Han's, so I think we could become good friends, right?"

"Not interested!" Chen Tie shook his head.

"You wouldn't be scared because you got beaten, would you?" Hei Tie deliberately provoked Chen Tie.

"You!" Already temperamental, Chen Tie glared at Hei Tie and said, "Quit sowing discord here. I'll tell you, I am scared. What about it?"

"So you're admitting you're scared." Once Hei Tie heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Tsk tsk, seems like I truly misjudged you. I was hoping to discuss with you how to deal with Xiao Han, but it appears I've approached the wrong person."

With that, Hei Tie turned and left.

Just as Hei Tie reached the door, Chen Tie quickly called out, "Stop!"

"Oh? Sect Leader Chen interested now?" Hei Tie asked.

"Yes!" Chen Tie nodded, stating, "I'm only interested in how to deal with Xiao Han, not in you."

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Hei Tie burst out laughing, "Like you, I'm only interested in killing Xiao Han. As for you and your Axe Gang, I have no interest."

"Sit!" Chen Tie gestured toward a chair.

"Okay!" Hei Tie nodded, then sat down on the chair beside him.

Chen Tie spoke, "Alright, everyone out."

"Yes, big brother!" The crowd nodded and dispersed.
