Rebirth Of The Demon

Chapter Ten [ 10 ]

Lao Zi

Proofreaded

“Oy, Jin Mao right? Mind releasing my woman?” A silky and charming voice rang out in the tension filled atmosphere, instantly drawing the gazes of everyone present at the chaotic scene.

Listening to the strangely attractive voice, the crowd couldn’t help but to shift their gazes away from the heart wrenching scene and directed their line of sight towards the direction where the voice resounded.

Turning their heads, a faint silhouette appeared within their sights. His body outlined under the dim lighting from the stretch of lanterns and neon signboards along the path as he strolled onwards at a leisurely pace.

The denim jacket donned atop his shirt fluttered along the gentle breeze. The fact that he had a crutch didn’t seem to degrade his suave appearance in any way, rather, it added an unknown sense of distance as if the figure itself was someone belonging to the nobility.

An aura of pride seeped out from the figure, every single step he took light and graceful like a proud lion amongst house cats, flaunting its majesty as the king of the animal kingdom.

Sfx Clack! Clack! Clack!

Along with the rhythmic clacking sounds of when the crutch hitting the hard asphalt, his shoulder length raven black hair danced along while a subtle smile floated across his charming face.

Sfx Thump! Thump! Thump!

For unknown reasons, the crowd found themselves stunned, their breathing started to turn ragged as the heartbeats involuntarily complied along with the clacking of the crutches.

Never have they experienced anything similar to this, rather than looking at an ordinary person, it felt as though they were in the presence of an emperor, uncontrollably tensing up at every movement he made.

Is that person a male or a female?

The men on the scene couldn’t tell the difference, in regards to them, the person in question resembled a beauty due to the feminine features.

The women however, feels that the person was definitely a male, noticing their counterparts breaking into a daze, they snorted coldly and twisted their waists.

“Gwaahhh!”

The poor man’s shriek broke everyone out from their daze, immediately, whispers and gasps can be heard amongst the pin dropping silence, their eyes seemingly glued onto the silhouette that drew in their attention like a magnet.

“Child, leave quickly, they are a bunch of ruthless men, hurry up and leave!”

“We know how you feel but don’t rush out there, hurry up and get back!”

Some of the kind hearted people within the crowd advised in goodwill but it was to no avail, Li Feng simply smiled and nodded subtly towards them before he returned to the task at hand.

“So handsome~”

“What are you saying? That’s a beauty!”

“You wanna fight??! He is a man you idiot!”

“How is that a man?! That’s a beauty you slut!”

Needless comments too, rang out in the tension filled atmosphere which caused the corners of Li Feng’s mouth to twitch several times.

Why the fuck is he here?!?! “ Keke ” sounds resounded as Jin Mao grinded his teeth, his hand instinctively lifted itself towards the bandage plastered on his neck.

Feeling the slight ache underneath the bandage, Jin Mao unconsciously shuddered and broke out in goose bumps at the recollection of the events that occurred the day before, it was truly terrifying even for a triad member like him.

Seeing the livid Jin Mao and the slight trembling of his stature, the underlings widened their eyes as they have never seen him act like this. Hearing the unknown voice, they instinctively turned their heads to meet up with the approaching figure in the distance.

Beautiful.. The three student delinquents thought as soon as they got a closer look at the emerging figure. Looking towards each other, they nodded simultaneously as if in agreement without any usage of words.

Although the three weren’t born of the same blood under the same parents, the fact was that they were indeed much closer than supposed blood brothers.

As though they were triplets, they held some sort of telepathy amongst themselves, knowing of each other’s faults, merits and habits even more so, they even live in the same broken apartment and sleeps in the same bed.

With just a single exchange of looks or hand signals, they would be able to guess each other’s thoughts and that was the sole reason why they were able to climb to the top within their school.

Looking at the lewd smile plastered on their buddy’s face, they smiled and shook their heads bitterly. This brother of theirs has no other faults other than being a little perverted.

“Eh? Beauty, do you want to join the fun? Even though you look pretty uncomfortable now, I’m sure you’ll be releasing moans of joy later~ Hehe~” The student delinquent with the freckled face laughed wretchedly while eyeing Li Feng with his narrowed eyes.

As soon as Freckled Face turned his head, his eyes lit up in that instant he locked eyes with the other party. Although she had a disability that required her to use a crutch, it didn’t decrease her attractiveness in anyway.

Laughing incessantly, Freckled Face then started to approach the strange but charming woman who tried to intervene, his burning eyes constantly sweeping back and forth Li Feng’s slender figure.

Since Jin Mao Ge has the tanned beauty, I’ll gladly have this woman all to myself! With that resolve in mind, he puffed out his chest and staggered over to Li Feng with a wretched smile.

Seeing as to how Freckled Face was blatantly sweeping his lust-filled gaze back and forth his body like a piping hot steak, Li Feng’s lips curled up into a cold sneer. His night black hair kept whipping itself onto his face, bringing his anger up to another level.

Damn.. To think i forgot to tie up my hair before leaving the damn herbal store.. Li Feng cursed as he grabbed the wisps of hair and pulled it to back of his ears. Even if he had tied up his hair, the result would not differ. It would still end up with Li Feng resembling a woman regardless.

Although Li Feng would always think and say how he hate looking like a woman, inwardly, he was pretty prideful about his looks but the only shortcoming was that it attracted not only women, but the filthy men as well.

If it was only women that was attracted to his looks, Li Feng would be running out naked every single day but the problem lies with the passionate gazes from the men! Even thinking about it sends shivers running down his spine.

“How about the three of you come at once?” Li Feng spoke coquettishly, intentionally slurring his words while he shot a look towards the student delinquents that stayed behind.

“Hehe~ To think that a beauty would offer herself up to us brothers~”

“Since it’s a free meal, why not enjoy it?”

“Be glad that it was us Iron Triangle! We’ll treat you well! Kaka!”

Upon hearing that the beauty wanted to include them, the other two of the student delinquents cheered, wiping the drool off their ugly faces, they trotted over towards Li Feng with expectant faces.

Sfx Crash! Rattle! Rattle!

“Come back! Shit!” Jin Mao cursed as he kicked a nearby stool, nervously biting down on his nails as he fixated his gaze at the demon that approached them a step at a time.

Haa… Calm down, let’s see how this goes.. I don’t believe that he would be able to beat the Iron Triangle.. I only lost last time because of his luck, yes.. That’s definitely the reason.. He comforted himself in his mind, trying his best to sooth the swelling uneasiness.

Listening to the curses and the terror stricken face Jin Mao had currently, the underlings raised their brows in question as this was the first time they had seen him acting like this, much less twice in a single day.

To think that the person’s appearance had actually turned Jin Mao into this state.. Who in the world is that person?Similar thoughts ran through their heads at the same time.

Filled with doubts, they could only hope to find answers from watching what would play out next. Shifting their gazes away from Jin Mao, they looked back at the person who was standing on the field.

All three student delinquents took their usual positions, the Spectacled Delinquent at the back, Sausage Lips at the left while the Freckled Face at the right.

Like their nickname implies, they took the formation of a triangle!

Well, your underestimation of me will be the cause of your downfall. Li Feng’s eyes lit up at the emergence of the three brothers who took the formation of a triangle.

The moment Freckled Face’s foot landed onto the ground a certain distance away from him, Li Feng smiled slyly and shoved his hand into the depths of his loose pocket.

Sfx Schlink!

Pulling out his hand, he placed his thumb beneath the object and before anyone could make out what it was, he flicked it upwards.

A white light flash before everyone’s eyes as a metallic “ Schlink ” sound rang out, drawing the attention away from Li Feng. “Wha?” Freckled Face was of course included, his eyes too was fixated at the metallic object that hung in the air, failing to notice the “ Beauty ” who tip toed her way towards him.

“You’re ten thousand years too early to roam the streets~” Li Feng’s ridiculing voice rang out in his ears, but before he could even respond or look down, a surge of pain shot through his chin.

In that moment, a wave of dizziness crashed over him before his vision blurred out into darkness, yanking his head backwards forcefully and as his lanky body bent backwards, another surge of pain shot through his abdomen, sending him crashing backwards straight into the litter strewn ground.

“Gaah!” Freckled Face grunted in pain as he was slammed harshly into the ground without any mercy, his hands clutching his stomach, his chin was tucked inwards as he laid in a fetal position.

“What happened!”

“WOAH! Did you see that!”

“No! I didn’t see shit! My eyes was on the shiny object!”

The crowd burst out into a commotion the instant they saw the Spectacled Delinquent twitching as he laid on the dirty ground.

Annoyance and anger welled up within them as they did not manage to see what exactly occurred, only recalling Li Feng flicking something shiny into the air which he drew from one of the loose pockets.

But it was exactly during the brief moment of distraction where everyone was narrowing their eyes to see what the metallic object was, a shrill cry rang out that brought their attention back onto the scene.

Looking back onto the streets, they looked puzzledly towards Freckled Face who grunted in pain on the ground. Filled with bewilderment, a myriad of questions ran though their minds.

What exactlyhappened?

Who hit the freckled youth?

How did they do it?

What the heck was going on?!

The crowd were baffled by the strange situation, although their head filled with puzzlement, it was no doubt that the deed was done by the feminine youth with the denim jacket.

The previous worry and curiosity in their eyes changed into a tinge of admiration when looking towards Li Feng because even if they didn’t know what happened, it was definitely done by the youth.

“I know what happened…” A voice then rang out in the crowds, immediately drawing in the curious gazes from the vicinity.

“As the shiny object was flung into the air, that person used the distraction to attack the guy with freckles but..” The crowd perked up their ears, seemingly signalling him to continue on with the explanation.

Gulping down a mouthful of saliva, the person then continued “That person’s movements were very fast, he used the crutch to strike the freckled face squarely in the chin and before he fell unconscious, that person struck a foot towards his stomach sending him flying…”

“What! How is that possible?”

“Yeah, how was that possible? How did you know he fell unconscious with just a hit to the chin?”

Humans will always be humans, even with the facts and explanation laid out before their very eyes, they wouldn’t believe something unless they have seen it with their own eyes. In their heads, they thought that the explanation sounded too farfetched and unscientific, how was it possible for a cripple to deliver such precise blows?

While some were genuinely baffled, a minority acted like haters on the internet, adding needless comments in jealousy, adding fuel to the fire even though it did not concern them one bit.

“I am a medical student. My job requires my eyes to be perfect and when the youth was hit in the jaw, I saw his eyes roll to the back of his head while his entire body went limp..” The medical student shifted his glasses up and spoke proudly, immediately sending the ones who questioned him shying away from embarrassment.

Sfx Flirp! Swoosh!

Li Feng paid no heed to the discussions that concerned him as the other two of the student delinquents were now rushing towards him with a menacing look carved into their faces. Catching the coin that he flicked into the air earlier, he then aimed and shot it out once more, sending it towards the Spectacled Delinquent behind Sausage Lips.

“Gaah!” Caught off guard, the Spectacled Delinquent grunted in pain as the coin slid past his metal bat and straight into his face, rendering him immobile at the moment giving Li Feng more time.

Sausage Lips who was rushing at the foremost position had no time to worry about his partner, breaking out into a disdainful smile, he raised his hand and stretched it towards the back.

In a flash of an eye, he appeared before Li Feng and brandished a metal pipe that was almost a meter long! The metal pipe looked a little rusty but nonetheless, its metallic body gleamed under the moon light, giving anyone who laid their eyes on it a bone chilling sensation.

Who cares if you’re a woman or not, I’ll beat you to a pulp regardless!! Sausage Lips thought inwardly as he raised the metal pipe high up into the air, swinging it mercilessly at the supposed “ woman ” before him.

He didn’t really put much thought into his stance nor mind as he was facing a woman, unlike the other delinquents he fought with, the woman before him shouldn’t put up much of a fight.

Sfx Swoosh!

As the metal pipe was swung horizontally at full force, it had actually cut the wind in its path resulting in a “ Swooshing ” sound resounding in the ears of the people nearby. Li Feng’s face remained unchanged as the metal pipe inched closer to his shoulder, with a twist of his body, he spun in a beautiful hundred and eighty degrees before the pipe collided.

Sfx Clink!

A loud resounding “ Clink ” sound rang out in the ears of everyone present, Li Feng shot a mocking smile towards Sausage Lips whose face had already turned ashen.

It turns out that as Li Feng was spinning, the trajectory of the metal pipe collided with the durable crutch that replaced the shoulder that was supposed to be injured. With a flick of his wrist, Li Feng easily twisted the crutch around and caught the metal pipe in its rush right between the durable handle bars, causing it to get stuck.

“Let it g-Gahhh!” Before he could finish his sentence, his sight started to darken as a foot landed right into his face, squashing his sausage-like lips and sent him flying backwards.

Sfx Crash! Rattle!~

Sausage Lips crashed backwards and straight into the stack of empty beer cartons that reeked with the smell of alcohol, instantly toppling them over with him.

A glint of chill flashed within Li Feng’s eyes as he kicked the bottom portion of his crutch while loosening his grip. As though he was performing acrobatics, the crutch spun horizontally in a circle with his hand reaching out towards the pipe.

Gripping Sausage Lip’s metal pipe firmly within his right hand, he swung it towards his right causing yet another “ Clank! ” sound ringing out.

“Impossible!” Spectacled Delinquent’s complexion turned pale as his cracked spectacle slid down the bridge of his nose. He thought he had this in the bag when Li Feng was preoccupied with Sausage Lips but as soon as he swung down the metal bat, Li Feng actually turned around to intercept?!

Do you have eyes at the back of your head? Monster! Spactacled Delinquent thought as widened his eyes in astonishment.

“You’re a thousand years too early to sneak an attack on Lao Zi[ 1 ] you stupid brat~” Finishing his words, Li Feng smiled before he topped it off with a side kick to Spectacled Delinquent’s face.

[ TL : Lao Zi in English – ( Your Father ), whenever you name yourself with a status older than you are, it acts like a disrespectful move towards the person you are speaking towards. Will specify it more in the Author’s Note. ]

Sfx Crash!! Rattle~~

Like a kite with broken strings, he flew out into the distance inevitably crashing into one of the foldable tables that was stationed around the Xuyan Night Market.

Toppling everything over along with his body as he fell onto the cold hard ground, Spectacled Delinquent foamed slightly at the corner of his mouth. With a freshly baked footprint on the right side of his face, Spectacled Delinquent’s eyes rolled to the back of his head before sinking into wonderland.

Witnessing the scenes from the beginning to the end, the crowd was left slack jawed from being stunned, disbelief evident on their faces.

Scenes they thought only appeared in television and movies appeared and was performed right before their very eyes. Rubbing their eyes, the spectators tried to confirm whether they saw wrongly but after separating their eyes lids, the scene remained unchanged from earlier.

Breaking out from the daze, they burst into a commotion with excitement in their tones.

“So handsome!!”

“Incredible! I thought I was watching a movie!”

“Are there hidden cameras around the area?”

“Kyaa~”

“…”

“Hmph, Iron Triangle indeed, it only took me three kicks to topple them down~[ 2 ]” Li Feng swept the imaginary dust off his shoulder with a free hand.

[ TL : Iron Triangle in Chinese – ( Tie San Jiao ), so Li Feng used their title to mock them saying it only took three kicks / legs – ( San Jiao ) to take them down. ]

He silently cursed as the opponents were just students, without any information on their background or status, Li Feng couldn’t possibly erupt his full force as it result into something worse.

Right now, Li Feng had neither money nor a powerful background so he had to play it safe, if the police arrives, he could just write it off as a child’s fight and everything would be over but if he endangered the lives of the three, it would be a totally different story.

Sweeping the dust off his shoulder, he readjusted his jacket and swept a glance towards the pale faced Jin Mao.

Fuck! I will kill you! Looking at the ridiculing smile plastered on Li Feng’s feminine face, Jin Mao was enraged!

Filled with anger and jealousy, Jin Mao’s body quivered as he wheezed. Raising his chin, a sharp light flashed through his eyes as he hollered “Da Tou! Er Tou, g-go get him!” His trembling finger pointed towards Li Feng’s direction.

“Yes..” The Bald Giants nodded, their eyes filled with amusement and curiosity when looking at the frail looking youth before them.

Never have they expected to witness this seemingly fragile looking youth to defeat the Iron Triangle that was famed for their group attacks.

Their consecutive switching and attacking style was what made them triumph in fights, the understanding and bonds between themselves made it harder for their foes to defeat them but this youth actually achieved this feat with such ease.

“Er Tou, you can go first..” Da Tou spoke as he crossed his heavily tattooed arms before his sturdy chest, his piercing gaze examining the youth. Right now, this tattooed bald giant resembled a warrior statue, his body exuded with a terrible pressure that shut up the surrounding crowd.

This kid isn’t as easy as he looks.. That was the evaluation he gave Li Feng, his sixth sense was telling him that Li Feng had hidden aces up his sleeves. The reason as to why he felt Li Feng wasn’t simple was because he couldn’t feel any sort of pressure from him, it was as though a harmless penguin was standing right before him.

Because he couldn’t feel anything from Li Feng made it strange considering the skills he had shown from the earlier fight.

“Okay..” Er Tou nodded solemnly, looking at the expression of his older brother, he knew that the little fellow isn’t one to be taken lightly.

Er Tou walked over to the centre of attraction, standing a comfortable distance away from Li Feng, he narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. Raising his fists up to eye level, he then blurted out.

“You.. Strong.. Fight..” Er Tou nodded with a fierce glint passing through his eyes, a fierce atmosphere started to burst forth as he bobbed his right leg in a rhythmic action.

“Muay Thai huh.. Hmm..” Li Feng frowned slightly at the familiar sight before him. Rather than a human, it was as though he was looking into the eyes of an ancient beast.

Ruffling his long hair, Li Feng moved into a slightly comfortable positon suitable for the occasion, retaining the lazy and nonchalant expression that he always had.

“Let’s not waste any time then..” Li Feng let out a crooked smile, his charming looks instantly made a few women and men cry out..

“Kyaa! You can do it~”

“Yeah go go handsome~”

“Beauty, if you win, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

“SO BEAUTIFULRUUU”

“Tch!” Hearing the calls of the men, a vein popped at the side of his head as he clicked his tongue in annoyance. Purging all useless thoughts in his head, Li Feng watched as the behemoth of a man rushed towards him.

[ TL : Lao Zi in English – ( Your Father ), whenever you name yourself with a status older than you are, it acts like a disrespectful move towards the person you are speaking towards. Will specify it more in the Author’s Note. ]

For some reason, it is kind of a disrespectful and rude act to label yourself as someone’s elder like Ni Ye Ye – ( Your Grandpa ) or etc. It’s funny and rude at the same time :D Females will just use female terms like mother, sister, auntie, granny etc while men stick to male terms haha.

[ TL : Iron Triangle in Chinese – ( Tie San Jiao ), so Li Feng used their title to mock them saying it only took three kicks / legs – ( San Jiao ) to take them down. ]

There are many different words and pronunciations in the Chinese language so in this case, San Jiao – which means Triangle or when directly translated means Three Angles. San Jiao pronounced in a tone would also mean – Three Legs or Three Kicks.
