"I'm in the Dragon Clan, what the heck is the Naruto Counterattack System?"

Qi Xiuyuan's words echoed.

The three people in the alley seemed to be stunned for a moment. The girl who was surrounded by them reacted and seized the opportunity to break free and run away.

"Help! Help me! He, they tried to rape me..."

The girl's clothes were tattered, even revealing a glimpse of her underwear. Seeing Qi Xiuyuan was like seeing a savior; she ran crying and hid behind him. Her pitiful, tearful appearance was heartbreaking.

In this situation, any hot-blooded young man would instinctively step in front of the girl and perform the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress act he'd always dreamed of.

Qi Xiuyuan didn't dodge, but he didn't say anything either, letting her hide behind him, seemingly thinking the same thing.

The three masked thugs exchanged glances. The leader, fiddling with a butterfly knife, sizing up Qi Xiuyuan with a sinister look and sneered, "What, are you planning to steal my love and play the hero?"

Qi Xiuyuan didn't speak, but glanced at the girl behind him. Her long hair fell down and covered her face. She was sobbing and raised her hand as if she wanted to grab his sleeve.

"Have you been waiting for me a long time on this road I always take home?"

He stepped aside to avoid them, glanced at the three people in the distance, and sighed, "Couldn't he at least take a shower before playing the innocent girl? Get rid of that body odor."

"It's really hard for me to cooperate with such an incompetent actor."

Upon hearing this, the "girl's" raised hand froze in mid-air, but she quickly realized that she had not lied to him. Her pitiful expression disappeared, and she raised her head to look fiercely at Qi Xiuyuan.

"Fuck you, I'll stab you to death!"

she……

Oh, no, his voice has turned into a male voice.

The other hand, which had been covering his chest, was finally pulled out, and he stabbed Qi Xiuyuan without mercy with a dagger.

But a broad, thick hand reached out and grabbed the "girl's" wrist first.

Then, clench your fist tightly.

Click click!

In the quiet, dimly lit alleyway, a sharp, crisp sound of bones cracking rang out.

"Ah... um!"

The pain made him open his mouth wide, but the piercing scream was trapped in his throat before it could escape.

"Last time you robbed an internet cafe, you failed to steal anything and ended up spending two years in jail. Judging by how much you hate me, you must have gotten stabbed a lot in prison, right?"

The dagger fell from his hand, and Qi Xiuyuan caught it with his outstretched hand. He then pinched the man's mouth shut with one hand, his voice as soft as willow catkins drifting in the wind, and said, "So, you didn't come out to make money, but instead started murder?"

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced around, then laughed and said, "Instead of going to find Chu Zihang, are you planning to pick on the weak first? Well, you've certainly chosen a good place."

The current surveillance equipment is not that sophisticated, and there is hardly any surveillance around this abandoned area. The Sky Eye Digital Remote Monitoring System does not even exist. These five people are really like snacks delivered to our doorstep.

So, after thinking for a second or two, Qi Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes, looked at the "girl," and smiled, "Since you've already used a knife, it means you're prepared for the consequences, right?"

Before they could even react, the hand that had been holding the dagger rose and, without hesitation, slashed across the "girl's" throat.

呲!

With a faint tearing sound, a line of blood appeared on his throat.

thump!

Qi Xiuyuan released his grip without a word, watching as the man knelt on the ground, clutching his neck with wide eyes, blood gushing from between his fingers, yet surprisingly, his face remained expressionless.

For a moment, the scene was deathly silent.

All that could be heard was the dripping sound of blood flowing onto the tip of the knife, falling down, and then splattering onto the ground.

"Physical energy controls the internal flesh and blood, while spiritual energy controls the external elements? In the world of the Dragon Clan, is ninjutsu used in this way?"

Qi Xiuyuan lowered his head and muttered to himself. Finally, he sighed, turned to look at the three stunned people in the distance, and calmly said, "Never mind, the Instantaneous Movement Technique is enough."

"..."

Seeing the horrific scene before him that he had never expected, the tattooed man who was leading the alleyway twitched his cheeks and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but no sound came out.

She was not speechless with shock, but because Qi Xiuyuan had vanished from her sight, disappearing abruptly.

puff! !

At that moment, no one saw when Qi Xiuyuan made his move. They only felt a wind, louder than the night wind, blowing behind them. The sound of piercing flesh was very faint and was silently swallowed up by the wind.

The tattooed man felt a sharp pain in his cheek as a red line began to crawl across his face, spreading and cracking little by little until it reached his cheekbone. The wetness of blood slid down his cheek.

But this slash wasn't aimed at him.

The man standing to his right stumbled and fell to the ground, clutching his bleeding throat and making eerie hoarse noises.

Thick, scarlet blood gushed out, flowing onto the ground with a loud thud.

The cut was too fast, almost severing half of his neck, from his vocal cords and larynx all the way to his cervical spine. Blood would have entered his lungs with each breath within tens of seconds, and he would have died without a doubt.

Bang!

With his other hand, which wasn't holding the knife, Qi Xiuyuan violently grabbed the man to the left of the tattooed man by the throat, pressing him against the wall on the left side of the alley. A crisp, clear sound of bones cracking rang out from the neck he was gripping.

Click!

The man pinned against the wall suddenly widened his eyes, a few drops of blood seeping from the torn corners of his eyes, but soon his gaze became unfocused and he lowered his head.

too fast.

Everything happened too fast.

From Qi Xiuyuan's sudden killing of the "girl" with a smile, to his sudden disappearance and reappearance behind the tattooed man, slitting one person's throat with a knife in his right hand while crushing another person's throat with his left hand.

All of this happened in a mere two seconds. The tattooed man didn't even have time to recover from the shock of the dead bodies; the two men didn't even know how they died.

"save……"

puff! !

The tattooed man only had time to open his mouth and shout before the dagger pierced his jaw, piercing through his palate and tongue, leaving only a section of the blade covered in scarlet flesh protruding from his mouth.

This stab choked him to silence any further words.

"Hehe..."

The tattooed man's wide eyes and pale face were filled with fear. The scar on his chest was throbbing with pain. As his body gradually weakened, fragments of memories flashed through his mind.

He suddenly remembered that two years ago, the four of them robbed the internet cafe they had just visited, but were sent to prison by two kids, one of whom was the guy behind him.

They had suffered terribly in prison for the past two years, and they hated the two kids with a vengeance every moment. In their eyes, they were only subdued because of bad luck, and no matter what, they were just two kids.

But, to everyone's surprise, a mere brat would have the audacity to kill someone, and even...

"Take a deep breath, it's normal to feel dizzy." Qi Xiuyuan's tone even carried a hint of a smile. "Thank you for letting me say goodbye to my peaceful past and my original future."

The tattooed man glanced at the familiar, youthful face behind him out of the corner of his eye, as if he saw a hint of pleasure in those deep black eyes, just like a child who had mischievously pinned down an ant on its back.

It's like a predator biting its prey's neck, watching the prey convulse and its eyes bloodshot, before finally tearing open the prey's throat with its teeth and enjoying the warmth of the blood.

Finally, the tattooed man's vision went black, his consciousness completely vanished, and he felt immense regret.

This guy isn't human at all; he's clearly a madman, a monster!

How could such a madman, such a monster, have been spared two years ago? It was only because another kid was present and there were too many onlookers that it was inconvenient to take action, so he spared their lives and sent them to prison.

This time, they came to us of their own accord.

thump!

The body fell, splattering blood onto the pool of blood.

To avoid being careless and leaving any survivors during his first killing, Qi Xiuyuan stabbed each of the four men in the head once more, and then, without hesitation, used his Instantaneous Movement Technique to disappear from the spot.

Before long, the roaring sound grew louder as it approached.

A figure riding a motorcycle and wearing a tight-fitting outfit stopped at the alley entrance. After seeing the four corpses in the alley, she took off her motorcycle helmet, flicked her chestnut-colored long hair, and revealed the face of a young girl.

And those eyes, tinged with gold.

"Are we too late?" She frowned. "Strange, they ran away so quickly?"

Thinking of this, the girl glanced at the wounds on the corpses, narrowed her eyes, took out her phone, hesitated for a moment while looking at her contacts, and finally dialed the number.
