Chapter 5: Kill

“What did you do to him?!”

A roar broke the silence. One of the young masters rushed forward, his fist raised, ready to strike Shi Yue.

Seeing the man striding away, Shi Yue calmly took off her coat and held it in her hand. When he was close enough to grab half of her shoulder, Shi Yue suddenly threw the coat at his face. Seeing the man bewildered, Shi Yue grabbed his outstretched arm with her left hand and pulled him towards her. At the same time, she took out the fruit knife she had prepared and stabbed it into his neck. Then she kicked him to the ground.

With a thud, blood gushed from the man’s neck, and his body convulsed. Only his eyes managed to move.

“ah?!”

“Murder! Murder!”

Completely unprepared for this scene, none of the three dared to approach. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shi Yue bent down, trying to pull out the fruit knife to fight again, only to find that the blade was stuck inside and wouldn’t budge.

The young master and his companions remained frozen in place, staring blankly as Shi Yue squatted on the ground. At this moment, the young master shouted first, “Her knife is stuck!” The young master’s two remaining brothers exchanged glances, mustered their courage, and charged towards Shi Yue one after the other!

Seeing them make their move, Shi Yue immediately abandoned drawing her sword and quickly retreated to avoid one of their outstretched hands. At that moment, another man threw a punch from the side. Shi Yue could only raise her arms to block the punch, while simultaneously kicking him in the upper abdomen with a side kick. Then, the other man threw a second punch. She dodged it again and, taking advantage of the moment before he could retract his fist, struck his eyeball with the back of her hand. She continued to strike him repeatedly, and his eye socket immediately turned bruised. He was in so much pain that he staggered back several steps and was unable to move.

At that moment, out of the corner of her eye, Shi Yue noticed that the young master was leaning against the wall and sneaking towards the door, attempting to escape.

In fact, from the moment he saw the school uniform exposed by the torn part of Shi Yue’s coat, the young master had a vague guess that Shi Yue was the female student who was passing by and whom he and two others had pushed into the water to try to murder on Monday night.

He even recognized the school uniform because a relative’s child attended that school. And from the moment Shi Yue pulled out the knife, he became even more certain that Shi Yue was there to kill him. So while his two brothers were caught up in a fight with her, he tried to make his escape.

Shi Yue had no intention of letting him escape. Taking advantage of the other two being temporarily stunned by the beating, Shi Yue strode forward, firmly grabbed the young master’s shoulder, pulled him over amidst his screams, and punched him right in the face! The pain made him kneel on the ground and howl in agony.

By this time, the other two had recovered from the pain. They glared at Shi Yue and pounced on her again. This time, however, they had learned their lesson—instead of lining up and attacking one by one, they attacked from the left and right, throwing punches at each other simultaneously!

Seeing that she couldn’t dodge left or right, Shi Yue decisively squatted down and bent over to avoid the two punches coming from the left and right, but this also exposed her back. So without hesitation, Shi Yue grabbed the leg of the person on the right and pushed him forward with all her might. The person lost his balance and fell face down on the spot, and a front tooth flew out like a marble.

Another man missed his punch and turned to strike Shi Yue again, but Shi Yue braced himself with both hands on the ground and kicked him in the shin. He slipped and fell, the hard marble floor causing him excruciating pain on one side of his body. Taking advantage of the moment, Shi Yue grabbed his hair and quickly slammed his knee into his nose. Then, she tightened her right fist and repeatedly struck the back of his neck with the back of her hand until his bones cracked and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

One was dealt with, but another got up. He was missing a front tooth, and hissed, revealing a mouthful of blood, looking like a wild beast. Stimulated by the pain, and being only a teenager, this guy’s bloodlust was ignited. He roared and lunged at Shi Yue again. Shi Yue nimbly moved her feet to avoid his punches and kicks. The man bared his teeth and claws but couldn’t catch Shi Yue no matter what, which made his eyes even more bloodshot.

At this moment, the young master also groaned and got up again. He was about to run away again when his gaze inadvertently fell on the neck of his companion who had been stabbed to death. The half of the fruit knife that had not yet sunk into the ground was still gleaming coldly. A bold idea suddenly came to him. While Shi Yue was confronting the other person, he used his back against the wall to slowly move towards the position of the fruit knife.

Bang! Seeing he couldn’t gain the upper hand in his fight with Shi Yue, the boy simply tilted his head and charged forward like a truck. Although the public restroom was quite large, it was still too cramped as a fighting ring. This time, Shi Yue had nowhere to dodge and was accidentally knocked into a toilet stall. The boy howled, pinning Shi Yue down with one hand and raising his fist to strike, but Shi Yue delivered a sharp knee strike between his legs, momentarily rendering him powerless. Taking advantage of the situation, Shi Yue broke free, wrapped her legs around his waist, twisted her body, straddled him, grabbed his head, and forcefully shoved it into the puddle. Then, she also swung her fist and delivered a heavy punch to the back of his head. But in this desperate situation, the boy suddenly unleashed a burst of brute force and stood up again!

However, Shi Yue’s legs remained tightly wrapped around his waist, and her hands gripped his shoulders tightly. He instinctively reached back, trying to lift Shi Yue off, but Shi Yue suddenly noticed the water tank next to the squat toilet and changed her position: she grabbed his head with both hands, braced her legs against his back, leaned forward and pushed him forward forcefully, using her weight to press his head against the water tank. With a “bang,” a bloody mark appeared on his forehead as he hit the water tank.

The sharp pain in his forehead made him dizzy for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Yue freed one hand and forcefully lifted the lid of the water tank, which rolled to the ground with a “bang”. Then, she stepped into the water tank with one foot and stepped on his back with the other, shoving his face into the water with a “splash”. At the same time, she swung her other fist and punched him wildly in the back of the head. Each punch made his mouth open and close, forcing him to swallow several mouthfuls of water!

During the struggle, the man suddenly raised a wildly swinging hand and slapped Shi Yue squarely on the left cheek, almost knocking her off his back. It turned out that the man had choked on water and was struggling desperately. He was very strong, and Shi Yue, who was standing on the water tank, could hardly keep her balance. If he had slapped her a few more times, she would have been in serious trouble.

Fortunately, having learned from the experience of having her coat torn when she drowned the person at the sink by the door, this time Shi Yue decisively freed one hand, grabbed the boy’s wildly swinging wrist, and at the same time straightened the hand that was pressing down on the back of his head to prevent him from breaking free. She then forcefully bent his wrist in the opposite direction and broke it in one go! The moment the wrist was dislocated, the boy was in so much pain that he choked on a mouthful of water, spraying water all over the surface. The boy’s struggle finally weakened.

Just as Shi Yue was getting into the middle of the fight, the young master beside him was already trying to pull out his knife. He intended to pull it out in one go, but unexpectedly found that the knife was stuck in the bone and was really difficult to remove! He glanced back at Shi Yue’s back by the water tank, his breath trembling. He squeezed his eyes tightly, pressed one hand against his brother’s neck, and slowly pulled the fruit knife out with the other.

The blade slowly emerged from the flesh, drawing blood that soaked his hands. Ignoring the disgust, he gritted his teeth and slowly pulled, inch by inch, out of the flesh.

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more—

“call–“

As the resistance beneath her completely disappeared, Shi Yue finally killed the stubborn guy. Just as she was about to raise her hand to wipe away the cold sweat, she turned around and saw that the young master had just pulled out a fruit knife. When she looked up, their eyes met. He gritted his teeth, raised the knife, and charged at Shi Yue!

“not good!”

Shi Yue caught a glimpse of the water tank lid at her feet, immediately bent down, grabbed it, and smashed it down on the young master’s forehead! The young master was stunned by the sudden blow. At that moment, Shi Yue grabbed the young master’s right wrist, which was holding the knife, and pinched his wrist hard with one finger, forcing him to let go. The knife clattered to the ground. At the same time, she threw an uppercut at his chin with her other hand, followed by a straight kick, sending him sprawling!
